Not only Jiang Huai but also Jiang Jingyao was unsure about Qin Zhaobei's request.
Compared to the initial panic when he saw Jiang Chuning being kidnapped, his expression gradually darkened and he frowned tightly.
Although Jiang Shanghan had promised him that he would use his life to protect Ning Ning's safety.
But when it comes to a real life-or-death decision, only then can we know what he will do.
Not only them, but also Mu Qing squinted her eyes slightly, waiting for his answer.
However, only a few seconds later, two voices sounded at the same time.
"Can."
"no!"
One belongs to Jiang Shanghan, and the other belongs to Jiang Chuning.
He looked at Jiang Chuning, slowed down his tone, and comforted her: "Ningning, don't be afraid, trust me."
Jiang Chuning shook his head desperately, his face full of tears: "No..."
Qin Zhaobei said: "Let all your people leave."
Jiang Shanghan glanced sideways, and his assistant immediately stepped forward and said: "Master Jiang!"
His voice was low and cold: "Let's go."
Soon, all Jiang Shanghan's men retreated and disappeared by the river.
Jiang Shanghan looked at Jiang Chuning again and said word by word: "Let her come over."
Mu Qing's pistol tilted and signaled: "Let's go."
Jiang Chuning stood there without moving.
Jiang Shanghan whispered: "Ning Ning, come here."
Jiang Chuning sobbed, wiped the tears on his face, and walked towards him.
Jiang Shanghan stared at her closely and pursed his thin lips.
However, Jiang Chuning had just taken a few steps when someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
The gun that was originally in Mu Qing's hand was also in Qin Zhaobei's hand. He held the back of Jiang Chuning's head impartially, looked at them and said with a smile: "Do you think this is the end?
Why should I exchange with you? As I said, only by holding the opportunity in your own hands can you have a chance of survival."
Jiang Shang said coldly: "I'll say it again, let her go."
Qin Zhaobei said: "Do you know now how powerless it is to watch the person you love the most, the person closest to you, the most important person, die in front of you?
Nie Ruhai killed your father, you killed him, why did you kill my mother! She didn't do anything wrong!"
The anger hidden in Qin Zhaobei's heart was completely vented, his hand tightly clasped the gun, and the veins were obvious.
After saying that, he sneered again: "Jiang Shanghan, it's no harm to your family. You are the master of the river, don't you even understand this rule?"
"This is my rule."
Jiang Shanghan stood there, his tone without any warmth, "If you dare to touch a hair of hers, everyone around you will pay the price."
When Qin Zhaobei heard this, he paused for a moment.
Jiang Shanghan refers to his aunt and uncle, his current adoptive parents.
He said: "They have nothing to do with this matter. What's more, I have arranged for them to leave Shanghai. It is impossible for you to find them."
It was also his initiative to go to Switzerland.
They just thought that he was studying there.
Jiang Shanghan said: "Then give it a try."
At this time, Mu Qing suddenly said: "Jiang Yan is not here."
Qin Zhaobei frowned and said nothing.
He grabbed Jiang Chuning and stepped back: "It doesn't matter, we have reached this point anyway, and I don't care what else you can do, but if she dies, you should be in more pain than me."
After speaking, they had retreated to the riverside.
Jiang Chuning's voice was hoarse: "So you approached me on purpose from the beginning?"
When Qin Zhaobei heard this, he laughed silently: "You should ask him if he regrets sending you to Switzerland, otherwise how could I have the chance to get close to you."
"Qin Zhaobei..."
"I don't call you that name."
His real name is Nie Bei.
Then, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you are willing to leave here with me and never see him for the rest of your life, I will not hurt you."
The most painful thing than watching the person you love die in front of you is probably knowing that she is still alive and in a certain corner of the world, but you can't find her for the rest of your life.
Jiang Chuning said: "I won't leave."
She continued: "No matter what you think, I have always regarded you as my best friend. If you can stop now and end all this, I will pretend that nothing has happened."
"You pretend that nothing happened, what about him?"
"I will follow..."
"enough."
Qin Zhaobei interrupted her, "Do you know that your life is in my hands now? I have the final say whether you live or die. Why do you negotiate terms with me?"
When he spoke, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed into the back of her head. Jiang Chuning was trembling while breathing. She closed her eyes and let tears cover her entire face.
In less than a day, the world seems to be changing drastically.
Yesterday, she was making desserts for Qin Zhaobei and Xie Yinyin in the dessert shop. He also said that he would invite her to work as a dessert chef in his hotel.
Tonight, he was still showing his temper and asked her to go downstairs to pick him up.
In the blink of an eye, he was already pointing a gun at her.
It seems like I never woke up from this dream today.
Qin Zhaobei looked at Jiang Shanghan and said again: "How about this, can you show some sincerity?
I only give you three seconds of chance. If your arm is not broken after three seconds, it will be hers."
"One, two..."
However, as soon as the second voice was spoken, a gunshot was heard.
Jiang Shanghan held a gun in his hand and his right arm was dripping with blood. He looked at him coldly: "What else do you want?"
Qin Zhaobei didn't expect him to be so hesitant. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Go on, it's just one arm, doesn't it still have legs?"
