Chapter 2005 - 1999: He Held Her Tight

"It’s the downfall of countless families." She looked back at Gu Qingcheng, "Yes, you haven’t been a special agent, you haven’t carried out missions, you’ve been well protected by your family, so you wouldn’t understand the feeling of how one of your actions might cause chaos and determine the fate of many people."

Gu Qingcheng still looked at her like that.

Ye Ning turned back and said, "Well, now you can try to feel it. Your decision right now is going to impact the fate of so many people. Make a choice and see how terrible this feeling is."

Gu Qingcheng’s mouth moved, "I... I..."

He looked at her ankle, which bore his handiwork.

"But, my brother has the controller in his hand now, I..."

At this moment, there was indeed some noise from outside.

Suddenly, someone rushed in from the doorway.

It was Wutao Shuize leading people inside.

They had already heard the sounds.

Ye Ning paused, looking toward the window.

Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed Ye Ning’s arm, and she turned her head to see Gu Qingcheng’s burning gaze. Suddenly, he came beside Ye Ning.

"Take me hostage."

Ye Ning’s eyes flickered.

Gu Qingcheng said, "The window is rigged with electric wires, you can’t jump out. It’s specifically set up to prevent you all, so the measures are thorough. You take me hostage."

Seeing the people had already burst through the door, Ye Ning gave him a deep look.

The sound of kicking at the door echoed, and Ye Ning gripped Gu Qingcheng, taking a dagger from her waist and holding it against Gu Qingcheng’s neck.

At the same time, the door opened.

Wutao Shuize looked at the scene.

He saw Ye Ning holding Gu Qingcheng and was momentarily stunned as well.

He gestured to those behind him not to approach further and looked at Ye Ning.

"What are you doing? Don’t you value your life? You know very well you still have leverage in my hands. All I have to do is press down, and you’ll be in agonizing pain, or you extract the thing from your ear, you’ll die miserably right here."

Ye Ning said, "Alright, then you can have a try. I will definitely make your brother suffer before I die, or perhaps, you’ve long been fed up with this brother. Because when he returns, he will certainly compete with you for resources. Surely, with his good qualifications, obvious comprehension and skills, he would surpass you, which is why your family protected him so well, likely intending for him to inherit the family business. Do you want him to die here, so you can inherit the family business?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking!"

Gu Qingcheng was stunned upon hearing this, looking towards the infuriated Wutao Shuize.

Yes, he always complained about why the family left him in Z Country while letting his brother explore the world.

Was it because they thought he was not good, didn’t want to value him?

Now hearing Ye Ning say this, he was suddenly shocked.

Could it be that the family had this intention?

Ye Ning tilted her head, "Come on, let’s blow ourselves up together and see how you explain it to the family."

Wutao Shuize clenched his teeth.

Ye Ning continued to provoke, at this moment...

Suddenly, someone pushed Wutao Shuize from behind.

It was QM.

Wutao Shuize hadn’t expected someone to come from behind.

He grabbed the controller in his hand.

"You... you..."

In a panic, he pressed it down directly.

Over with Ye Ning.

She only felt as if a thousand bugs suddenly crawled into her head, gnawing at her brain. In an instant, the dagger in her hand fell.

Gu Qingcheng was freed but, seeing Ye Ning like this, he hugged her tightly.
