Chapter 610 - 612: He Really Came After All
Fang Yi’s scar on the corner of his eye trembled, and when he spoke, a foul smell of smoke sprayed onto her face, making her turn away in disgust.Xia Xiaonuan shivered suddenly.
She hadn’t eaten much since yesterday.
Now, her entire body was cold and hungry.
After the few people left, she hung her head and looked at the bomb device on her foot.
She thought about how this thing could explode at any time and that if Nangong Yaoling didn’t show up by two in the afternoon, she would be blown to pieces.
She felt weak all over; if she wasn’t tied to the chair, she would probably have collapsed on the ground by now.
Could it be that she was really going to die like this?
Disappear overnight like a missing plane?
If she died, would she become the old Xia Xiaonuan again?
Tears streamed down her face.
No matter what, she had no regrets now that she had reunited with Nan Mo.
As for Nangong Yaoling...
Thinking of him, she didn’t know how to feel.
Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes.
She felt weak, and her vision sparkled with stars.
At some point, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, she vaguely heard someone calling her name.
"Xia Xiaonuan——! Xiaonuan, where are you?!"
The voice sounded like it was coming from a dream, or perhaps from reality.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
The voice became clear, and she recognized it as Nangong Yaoling’s voice.
Her whole body jolted; had he really come?
"Mmm—mmm—!" Xia Xiaonuan tried to make a sound desperately, but her mouth was sealed, and she couldn’t call out.
At this moment, that Fang Huang came in with a knife.
"Nangong Yaoling is really punctual, actually willing to risk his life for you!" the man said triumphantly, walking toward Xia Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan stared at the knife in his hand, her eyes wide with terror.
The man pressed the knife to Xia Xiaonuan’s neck and shouted outside, "She’s here! Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her immediately!"
"How can I trust you?" It was Nangong Yaoling’s voice.
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head incredulously.
That man tore the tape from her mouth with a "shrrip."
Xia Xiaonuan’s lips were torn, making her frown in pain.
Able to speak now, she hurriedly shouted, "Nangong Yaoling, don’t trust them! There are explosives here, don’t come any clo—mmm..."
She didn’t finish her sentence before her mouth was covered again.
"If you don’t want to die, then behave!" the man said, clamping a hand over her mouth.
In the forest, Nangong Yaoling, carrying several nylon bags, heard Xia Xiaonuan’s voice and his tall figure trembled violently.
"Xiaonuan! Xiaonuan, are you alright—!" he shouted, "Don’t be afraid, I’m coming to save you—" Saying this, he was about to rush over.
But Huang Mao saw him through the window and shouted, "Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her immediately!"
Nangong Yaoling stopped in his tracks, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"Put the money in the trash bin behind you, then step back 30 meters! Once my man confirms the money is real, I’ll release her! Don’t try any tricks, her life is in my hands!"
Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth and urgently said, "Don’t do anything rash! Don’t hurt her!" Carrying the bags, he stepped over the underbrush and walked to the trash bin.
He placed the bags next to the trash bin.
Then he stepped back one step at a time.
After stepping back dozens of meters, he saw a man rush to the trash bin and open the bags to check.
