Ling Yiran was in pain due to the punches from before.She did not even know how many of the men’s punches had landed on Lianyi. She could only protect Lianyi with all her might, but not her own body.Lianyi laboriously gasped for breath. Her face was bruised and swollen. She could barely keep one eye open. Though Ling Yiran hated these men, she could only say with a straight face, "Yes, I can promise you that!""You're gonna regret it if you listen to her. We have no other choice but to subdue them to have any chance of escaping!" Gao Manlin said in a panic, afraid that the men she had spent a bomb on would rebel against her.Then, another voice rang out. "I can also assure you that all will be well if you let go of my wife and her friend. If you want to listen to what this woman said, then be prepared to lose your lives here today!”The group was instantly shocked. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that several people had rushed over. They were blocking the only
The atmosphere immediately changed. Even the air seemed to be filled with tension.The mercenaries' expressions changed as well. They tried to rush forward to subdue Gao Manlin. After all, they had to rely on Ling Yiran to keep their lives and get the money.However, Gao Manlin would not let them get close to her. She dragged Ling Yiran to the edge of the rooftop. "I'll slash her if anyone comes near. The worst thing is her losing her life. It's not bad of a deal if I can have the mistress of the Yi family die with me. I just don't know if Shen City's Young Master Yi can give up his wife!"Yi Jinli looked at Gao Manlin coldly, his face seemingly covered with frost. He walked toward Gao Manlin step by step. "Then you can try and see if I'm willing to give her up."Gao Manlin was a little flustered as she watched Yi Jinli approach her. "Don't come over. I won't go easy on her if you come over!"As Gao Manlin finished speaking, the dagger in her hand left a bloody streak across Ling
The pain of having your wound clawed like this was far worse than being cut with the dagger. Ling Yiran clenched her teeth desperately to endure the pain. She did not want the enemy to feel smug because of her pain and the people who cared about her to get upset over this. However, the more she endured, the harder Gao Manlin dug her fingernails into her wounds with her free hand. "Ling Yiran, aren't you smug? Aren't you trying to stand up for your best friend? Do you see the price of your actions now?" Gao Manlin asked viciously.Ling Yiran kept breaking out in a cold sweat, her face ghastly pale from the pain and all the bleeding.Qin Lianyi was already in tears when she saw the state her best friend was in. "Gao Manlin, Yiran is innocent! As you said, she was just helping me. I'm the one you're after, so go after me. You can torture me all you want, but stop doing that to Yiran..."Qin Lianyi's pain only made Gao Manlin laugh. "If you want me to let her go, sure. Jump off th
Ling Yiran realized that Gao Manlin seemed unusual. It seemed that she had no intention of escaping and was abandoning herself to despair. However, she might actually be looking for another chance to escape.Yi Jinli looked at Gao Manlin coldly. "Take off my clothes?""Yes, take off your clothes and don't leave a single piece of clothing. After you take off your clothes, take a selfie and post it online. If you get more than 10,000 likes in a minute, maybe I'll let Ling Yiran go!"It was pure humiliation! She was playing Yi Jinli like a monkey!"Jin, no!" Ling Yiran said as she fought back the pain from the continued blood loss.However, Yi Jinli had already raised his hands and started to unbutton his shirt. One, two... He continued to unbutton them until he pulled the shirt off to reveal the thin undershirt underneath.There was silence as if nothing else could be heard except for the sound of the helicopters’ propellers overhead and the movement of air.Yi Jinli's subordinate
A man in a police uniform had his sniper rifle aimed at Gao Manlin, looking to be on guard. If the first shot did not take her down, he would shoot again.However... Gao Manlin was probably not going to make it. Ling Yiran looked at Gao Manlin as she twitched on the ground. Her expression changed slightly when she saw a device rolling out of Gao Manlin's pocket.It seemed like a remote control with a countdown on it. It was counting down. Eight... Seven... Six...'It's a timer!'Did Gao Manlin press the button while it was in her pocket just now?'What exactly is this device?' Ling Yiran had a bad feeling, but Gao Manlin could not speak right now. After twitching a few times, she stopped moving as if announcing the passing of her life.Just then, Yi Jinli lunged forward and grabbed Ling Yiran's arm. "Come on. I’ll send you to the hospital!"He bent over to pick her up as he spoke."Jin, this..." Ling Yiran barely finished speaking when suddenly, there was an explosion. The buil
However, she was unusually at ease because he was here! As long as he was around, it seemed that she had nothing to worry about.Ling Yiran muttered, "Jin, you saved me again. If Gao Manlin... wasn’t distracted just now, you... wouldn’t have seriously stripped naked, would you?"She could not help asking the question even though every word she said caused her pain due to the wounds on her neck.He fixed his dark eyes on her. "What if I say that was exactly what I was planning? If she wasn't distracted, I would’ve continued taking off my clothes. As long as your life was in her hands and I couldn’t find the opportunity to do anything, then even if she told me to lie down like a dog, I would do it!"Ling Yiran looked at Yi Jinli with her eyes full of shock. Would such a proud man go that far for her?"What's the matter? Don't you believe me? Don't you believe I would go that far?" he asked.She shook her head with difficulty. "No... No...""It doesn't matter whether you believe it
Though she wanted to betray him and flee from him, and though she married him and said she loved him, it was just for the children. Though he would never matter the most to her, these... were nothing compared to her death.He suddenly could endure all the rest a little more. The only thing he could not stand was her leaving!It did not matter how she left.Ling Yiran smiled bitterly. She wished she could find another way as well, but in this situation, she... did not have the strength to climb up the rope ladder, and there was no way he could use one arm to pull her up.Perhaps life was always about making decisions, just like how she chose to fall into the sea. That was a decision too.He heard another explosion, and he started sinking because the cracks were rapidly spreading to his side."Young Master Yi, your side is collapsing!" someone shouted anxiously at the helicopter door.Ling Yiran knew she was only a burden at the moment. He could have quickly climbed the rope ladde
Ling Yiran watched Yi Jinli in pain. He even knocked his head against the cracked ground as if to distract himself from what was going on in his head. However, instead of tightening her hold on Yi Jinli’s hand as he told her to, Ling Yiran loosened her grip. Her slender wrist slowly slid from his fingers."Yiran, no!" Yi Jinli shouted frantically. Tears had covered his face at some point.His tears ran down his cheeks, dripping onto her face.Drip! Drip!It was so warm it made her feel it was okay and she would not regret it even if she sacrificed everything for this man.It was because no one in the world loved her the way he did.In the same way... "Jin, I'm sorry... I hurt you, but I’m also the woman who loves you most... Stay alive. Live... a good life..."She loved him so much that she would make the same choice if she had to do it again!When there was another explosion, Ling Yiran closed her eyes and smiled. She hoped the last thing she would leave Jin was her smile, a
