A frightened and stammering voice sounded from the other end of the line. "We... went to Young Madam's room. Huang Qian and the caregiver had passed out in the room, and Young Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera... in the bedroom, but the surveillance cameras outside show that Young Madam never left the bedroom. Also, there was a lingering smell of knockout drops... in the bedroom.""Find her! Find Young Madam even if you have to turn the whole house upside down!" said Yi Jinli as he threw the phone back to Gao Congming. He stared at Secretary Wang as if he were about to kill him. He used a hand to grab the older man by the hair as he pushed him against the wall."Speak, what have you done with Yiran? I'll kill you if anything happens to her!" With a thump, Secretary Wang's head hit the wall hard.However, Secretary Wang laughed. "Young Master, I won't tell you even if you kill me. You'll know when the time comes!""Speak!" Yi Jinli aggressively slammed Sec
Yi Jinli clenched his teeth.Old Master Yi was the one who raised him, so he naturally knew him best. The old master knew he was suspicious by nature and would be uneasy whenever Yiran was involved. Therefore, he ordered Secretary Wang to disappear for some time before appearing again.This way, Yi Jinli would want to see Secretary Wang in person as he would only feel at ease after personally questioning him! 'Even when Grandpa’s dead, he still wants to do this to me?'How is Grandpa going to bet whether I'll give up my life for a woman?'Nothing must happen to... Yiran!'...When Ling Yiran woke up, she was in a car with one hand firmly bound to the steering wheel while the other was bound to the handbrake.The car was parked on the cliff. The back of it was hanging off the cliff, leaving only the front on land. Things looked extremely dangerous. The entire car might just fall off the cliff with the slightest movement inside the car or an external force. The sea was right b
Ling Yiran calmed herself down and said to Hao Yimeng, "If you let me go, I'll forget everything that has happened between us. I can also ask Jin to let you go and help the Hao family go through this crisis."What she had to do now was try and tempt Hao Yimeng with these conditions to make her hesitate. Only in this way could she create more opportunities to escape. It was just that no matter how good Ling Yiran’s offers were, Hao Yimeng did not seem to care. "Ling Yiran, I just want to know if Yi Jinli is willing to risk his life for you! This man didn't even shed a tear when my sister died! Don't you want to know how far he’ll go for you?"Hao Yimeng's eyes burst with hatred as she spoke.She hated Ling Yiran! How did she, the Hao family's second heiress, turn out like this just because of a nobody like Ling Yiran?She had stolen Xiao Ziqi from Ling Yiran back then. She thought Xiao Ziqi would love her deeply, but he abandoned her just like he did Ling Yiran!'I'm Hao Yimeng,
Using his mouth, Secretary Wang signaled in the direction of Ling Yiran's car that was about 20 meters away. He said, "There's a device over there. It's the device that can defuse these bombs. But only your fingerprint can disarm the device, Young Master."As Secretary Wang spoke, the smile on his bruised face became more obvious.Yi Jinli naturally would not believe that everything was so simple!Secretary Wang would not have gone to so much trouble if saving Yiran was going to be so simple."Spit everything out at once! Don't test my patience. I have no time to waste here with you!" snapped Yi Jinli.With Yiran's current situation, the longer they delay it, the more dangerous it would be!"It's just that after you disarm those bombs, the device will detonate itself at the same time. In other words, you'll save Ling Yiran but kill yourself at the same time!"Secretary Wang's voice was not low as he deliberately tried to let Ling Yiran hear him.Sure enough, when Ling Yiran hea
However, Ling Yiran now understood why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake and the other to the steering wheel.One to live and one to die. No matter what she chose, there was no ideal outcome!No one knew how many bombs were buried in front of her car.There was no time even if Yi Jinli wanted to investigate it carefully. Moreover, if someone accidentally triggered the bomb and caused an explosion, that would be the worst-case scenario!'Is there really no chance of survival?' Ling Yiran kept racking her brain.She was still on the video call with Hao Yimeng through the phone in front of her. She heard what was being said and smiled as she spoke, “Well, isn't that interesting? Ling Yiran, what do you think Yi Jinli will do? He'll just leave you to die and have you become a sacrifice!"Ling Yiran was in no mood to pay attention to Hao Yimeng. All her attention was on Yi Jinli.At the moment, Yi Jinli was also looking at Ling Yiran. There seemed to be some determination in
However, Old Master Yi was wrong. Young Master Yi was willing to risk his life for Ling Yiran!Yi Jinli could see the countdown timer when he reached the device. There were only eight minutes left.Ling Yiran said, "Jin, no! Let's think of another way. Old Master Yi wouldn’t have bet on something this simple! Didn’t Old Master Yi care about the Yi family the most? If you’re gone, the Yi family will be destroyed too! Old Master Yi wouldn’t allow that to happen!”"Yiran, don't be afraid. I said I would save you!" Yi Jinli said and pressed the green button.Instantly, Old Master Yi's voice rang out."Jinli, my... Ahem, Ahem... My grandson. It seems that you're going to save Ling Yiran with your life. But you'll realize that this woman isn't worth saving at all! To deactivate the bombs, you need to use your thumbprint to do it and once you have your thumbprint on it, you have to hold it down until it's time for the bombs to go off. But at the same time, the device will explode and you
Ling Yiran’s tears came streaming out. She had forgiven him! In fact, she had already forgiven him long ago!As soon as his thumb pressed down on the device, the timer displayed the time and it started counting down.Ling Yiran knew that this countdown was for an explosion. Right now, there was only two minutes left.Did she only have two minutes left with Jin?In these two minutes, Jin could still change his mind! Jin could leave!“Gao Congming, get someone to pull Jin away!” Ling Yiran took a deep breath and ordered GaoCongming.Gao Congming was stunned for a moment. If he pulled Young Master Yi away… it meant that the bombs buried in front of Ling Yiran’s car would explode immediately!“Whoever dares to pull me away, I’ll have their whole family buried alongside me. I mean what I say. Whoever dares, come and try!” Yi Jinli coldly voiced out.After what he said, the people around remained motionless out of fear, while Gao Congming was left in a difficult position!“Congming
At this moment, she wished that he loved her less. This way, he would be less sad as well.If she could, she wanted to live till they were gray and old with him. She wanted to watch the three children be born into this world. Yet, that day would never come.Once, she had said she would never leave his side. If he did not leave her, she would not leave either.Today, she went back on her promise.The moment she released the handbrake, she had flashbacks of the conversation she had with Old Master Yi. She had wanted to bet with the old master to see how much she loved Jin.The bet made was not only between Jin and the old master but she was also involved.The old master wanted to bet if she would give her life for Jin.Thus, this was how she ended up with one hand tied to the handbrake so that they could see what decision she would make.All Ling Yiran heard was Yi Jinli’s final shouts, and then, everything became painful as intense ocean water gushed into her mouth and nose. It
