Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even though Li Qiaomeng had thrown caution to the wind, she was still aware that Ye Xiyuan, whom she held hostage, was already weakened.
Continuing this delay would not only forfeit her chance to avenge Ye Lengan but might also lead to her swift return to detention or worse, straight to prison.
With resolve, Li Qiaomeng turned to Lin Wanqin and exclaimed, Didnt you want me to release Ye Xiyuan? Help me take out Ye Lengan, and Ill let her go.
Her words stunned everyone; n.o.body had foreseen this sudden demand from Li Qiaomeng.
Lin Wanqin, amidst tears, stood frozen upon hearing Li Qiaomengs words. She seemed unable to grasp what had just been said.
Are you not devoted to your daughter? Li Qiaomengs voice rang loud. If you want to save her, kill Ye Lengan. Her life depends on it. Otherwise, Ill end Ye Xiyuans life right now.
The irrational request left Lin Wanqin unsure how to respond. She dared to plead for Ye Xiyuans exchange but never for taking a life.
Have you lost your mind? Ye Anyun, unable to contain herself, retorted. Li
Qiaomeng, whats your game here? We helped you, and you aim to destroy us? How can you be so heartless! I mustve been blind to be with you.
Li Qiaomeng felt the pang of her ex-lovers words. Yet, at this juncture, she saw no way out. Your sister isnt innocent. If she didnt intend to exploit me, why help? Dont sugarcoat it. What do you mean by help? Its just a trade.
Enough talk. Make your choice! Ye Xiyuans life or Ye Lengans. Act now! Ye
Xiyuan wont last much longer.
The Ye family stared at Li Qiaomeng, immobilized by the situation. They wanted to save Ye Xiyuan, but killing Ye Lengan here was unthinkable!
Seeing their inaction, Li Qiaomeng grew more agitated. If you wont act, its on you. Ill count to ten. No action, and Ye Xiyuan dies.
No room for thought remained. With time, her agitation surged. Her sole desire now was to end Ye Lengan making them pay for ruining her life.
Are you done? Ye Lengan interrupted Li Qiaomengs tirade. Did you call me just for this spectacle? I dont have time for your theatrics. If youll act, do it now. Dont waste more time.
Miss Ye! A police officer disapproved. Stop provoking her.
Ye Lengan, your cruelty! Lin Wanqin wished to confront Ye Lengan. Are you trying to kill Xiyuan? Why provoke Li Qiaomeng? Do you want Xiyuan
dead faster?
This isnt my affair, Ye Lengan retorted coldly. l dont possess self-sacrificial virtues. Ye Xiyuan reaps what she sows.
Dont moralize! Zheng Anyang defended Ye Lengan. This isnt her problem.
Shes here, doing her best.
The tension hung thick in the air..
