Chapter 439 - 453: She had no way to remain indifferent.
"What deal?"Han Xi tried her best to calm down, gripping Li Manman’s arm which was trembling uncontrollably.
"Exchange your life for those five people’s lives."
This afternoon, Liao Tingxiao realized that Feng Yi and the others were tracking him. He called Liao Tingting to quickly leave the country to prevent Lu Jinghan from using her as leverage against him.
Han Xi knew Liao Tingxiao was involved in drug manufacturing and trafficking. She could imagine how terrifying such a person could be; killing might be as easy as crushing an ant.
Beside her, Li Manman was already crying uncontrollably, as if a giant hand had gripped her heart tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Little Sister-in-law, don’t agree to him. Jing Han will come to save us. Don’t worry."
Feng Yi couldn’t bear to let a woman risk herself to save them, especially when Han Xi was Lu Jinghan’s everything.
Liao Tingxiao looked at Han Xi through the screen: "Xiao Xi, I’ll give you five minutes to consider. If you can’t decide, then I’ll have no choice but to kill them all."
"You madman, let them go now. Whatever money you want, we’ll give it to you. If you dare to kill anyone, I’ll call the police and have you arrested."
Li Manman had no idea about Liao Tingxiao’s true identity, still thinking Feng Yi was just kidnapped for ransom, she screamed madly at the screen.
Feng Yi looked at Li Manman with compassion, softly comforting her: "Manman, calm down and don’t cry, I will be fine."
Though he said this, Feng Yi was well aware that their survival chances in the hands of drug dealers were nearly zero.
"Xiao Xi, have you decided?"
Han Xi looked at Liao Tingxiao on the screen, her clear eyes filled with chilling coldness: "If I agree, will you really let them go?"
"Of course, I would never deceive you."
"Little Sister-in-law, you can’t agree. Have you thought about Jing Han? He would never allow you to do this."
Feng Yi desperately tried to stop her, blood still dripping down his forehead.
Liao Tingxiao picked up a gun without hesitation, aimed it at a man next to Feng Yi, and pulled the trigger. With a bang, the man’s head exploded.
Han Xi’s heart jumped to her throat; she could feel the terror even through the screen.
Li Manman was dumbstruck; a perfectly fine person was shot dead right before her eyes, blood splattering everywhere.
"You better shut up, or you’ll be the next one to meet King Yan."
Liao Tingxiao grabbed Feng Yi’s blood-stained collar, his sinister eyes like a demon crawling out from Hell.
"Ha, do you think Lu Jinghan will let you get away with this?"
Liao Tingxiao angrily aimed his gun at Feng Yi’s head. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Han Xi shouted at the screen, "Don’t touch him! I agree to the exchange. What should I do next?"
Li Manman belatedly reacted: "Xiao Xi, are you crazy? He’s simply a demon. You absolutely can’t go."
"If I don’t go, they’ll all die; one person already died, didn’t they?"
Han Xi trembled as she held Li Manman’s hand. She was actually very scared now, not knowing what to do, but there were several lives at stake. She couldn’t be indifferent.
"Manman, don’t cry. Jing Han will definitely come to save me. I will be fine."
Li Manman was now extremely conflicted. She really didn’t want Han Xi to take the risk, but she also didn’t want Feng Yi to die.
