Chapter 202: Victor’s Settlement Screen
Jiang Ning didn’t reply to it.
Her head was bowed, lost in thought.
Little Honey continued: 【Host, you must leave here and change the plot, or everyone around you will be in trouble.】
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but chuckle: 『Little Honey, don’t worry, I didn’t say I wouldn’t leave, I was just thinking about lighting incense for Grandmother when I get back.』
Little Honey felt sorry for Jiang Ning.
Its voice was muffled: 【Sorry, Host, I said the wrong thing.】
Jiang Ning, who had been raised by many families, had no home of her own.
Jiang Ning squinted at the blinding sun: 『It’s over.』
In the corner of her vision, a black figure had arrived first.
Jiang Ning’s gaze focused, and she instinctively looked over, meeting Xie Jingyan’s indifferent black eyes.
The eyes that once held gentle smiles were now cold as ice, piercing enough to make Jiang Ning instinctively look away, not wanting to see anymore.
Xie Jingyan’s gaze was fixed tightly on Jiang Ning, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth curved into a mocking smile.
Jiang Yan and Gu Lanli arrived one after another.
Gu Lanli immediately spotted Su Wanyuan with bloodstains on her body and anxiously said: “Wanyuan, are you okay? Did these kidnappers hurt you?”
Su Wanyuan’s gaze turned to Jiang Ning, who had her head lowered and said nothing, her eyes welling with tears as she shook her head in some fear.
The more she acted this way, the more it proved that Jiang Ning had instructed the kidnappers to torment Su Wanyuan.
Gu Lanli held back his anger; he wouldn’t reveal the truth. He wanted to rescue Su Wanyuan right in front of Jiang Ning, to see if she dared to be so scheming again.
He threw the bag of money on the ground and said to the three kidnappers in the distance: “Don’t hurt the girl in white. I’ve brought the money.”
Jiang Ning glanced at her own skirt, which was also white, then looked at Gu Lanli.
Gu Lanli met Jiang Ning’s gaze, those beautiful doe-like eyes making his heart stutter unusually, stirring some indescribable emotions within him.
Su Wanyuan’s pained whimper brought Gu Lanli back to his senses. He pointed directly at Su Wanyuan: “Let her go. I’ve brought the five million. The two people behind me are here to save her, as for the other one…” At the end, Gu Lanli’s tone turned disgusted: “Do whatever you want with her, kill or maim!”
Su Wanyuan spat out the cloth stuffed in her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Gu Lanli and the other two, her face full of moved restraint: “You don’t need to worry about me. It’s too dangerous here. Take Jiang Ning and go.”
The tall kidnapper shouted angrily: “Shut up! Today you can only redeem one of these two. It’s up to you to choose which one.”
Gu Lanli snatched the bag from Jiang Yan’s hand: “There’s an antique in here too. Let Wanyuan go, and all this money is yours.”
Jiang Yan reached to grab it back, but Gu Lanli pushed him away. He sat on the ground, motionless.
Xie Jingyan glanced down at Jiang Yan and saw him with his head lowered, unsure if he was having an episode, his entire shoulders trembling.
He had been perfectly fine at the foot of the mountain.
The short kidnapper standing next to Jiang Ning said: “Have you decided? If you want to save the girl on the right, send someone over with the ransom. Money for person.”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m coming right over.” Gu Lanli picked up the bag of money and the antique, preparing to go redeem her.
Xie Jingyan stopped him, a faint smile on his face: “Let me go.”
His gaze turned to Su Wanyuan.
Su Wanyuan’s heart couldn’t help but pound.
Every time she saw Xie Jingyan, she was always stunned by his looks. Even knowing he had no feelings for her, she couldn’t help fantasizing about being moved by him. Only someone so outstanding was worthy of her.
Su Wanyuan had a strong premonition that Xie Jingyan’s achievements would be far beyond this.
So after seeing Jiang Ning’s true colors, they had all chosen her?
Su Wanyuan couldn’t help but feel smug inside, her gaze toward Xie Jingyan turning excited.
Gu Lanli wanted to refuse, but Xie Jingyan was much stronger, and he couldn’t win. He could only watch helplessly as he walked off with the bag of money, unable to stop himself from shouting: “You must bring Wanyuan back safely. As for Jiang Ning, don’t worry about her.”
Xie Jingyan responded: “Got it.”
The distance from him to the cliff edge was fifty meters.
He tossed the money five steps away from the three kidnappers, tilting his head slightly with a gentle tone: “If you’re done, count it. No need to trouble yourselves. I’ll pick the person and take her.”
The bag on the ground revealed a corner, filled with red bills. The three didn’t even need Xie Jingyan to say anything; they pounced and crowded around, starting to count the money.
Xie Jingyan stared straight ahead.
Su Wanyuan cried out, her voice choked: “A Yan, I’m so scared. Can you save me and take me away? I don’t want to die, boo hoo hoo.”
Su Wanyuan had a pure and innocent beauty, tear-streaked like pear blossoms in rain, a pitiable sight. Her red-rimmed eyes made one want to cherish her. She looked at Xie Jingyan eagerly, hoping he would untie her.
As for Jiang Ning’s side.
Her mouth was sealed with tape, and she remained still, head lowered looking at her toes, her emotions calm as she quietly awaited the death sentence.
Xie Jingyan walked forward and, under Su Wanyuan’s shocked gaze, came to stand before Jiang Ning.
He reached out and tore the tape from her mouth.
Jiang Ning looked up at him in disbelief.
Xie Jingyan’s brows were lowered, his black hair swaying in the wind, his pale skin like jade. He reached out to untie the ropes for her, his tone unhurried yet chilling to the heart.
“You have a face that makes me reluctant to let you die.”
The rope fell to the ground. Xie Jingyan tilted his head slightly. Although his face carried a smile, Jiang Ning inexplicably felt a touch of madness.
He unquestioningly took her hand, pulling Jiang Ning into a stumble, forcing her to follow behind him.
She looked up and could only see his straight back. The black clothes appeared stern and cold.
His voice floated lightly over: “Just in time, I have something to find you about.”
Gu Lanli not far away: “???”
Even Su Wanyuan was shocked speechless.
Stupidly watched Xie Jingyan pull Jiang Ning away without looking back.
Jiang Ning closely followed behind Xie Jingyan.
Long, black curly hair swayed left and right with the movement.
The white skirt hem fluttered in the wind, tracing a beautiful arc.
The back view of the handsome man and beautiful woman looked very pleasing to the eye.
But Su Wanyuan only found it dazzling..
The scene froze.
She inexplicably thought of a phrase.
[Victory settlement screen]
She… lost?
“No… this isn’t right… Xie Jingyan! This isn’t right, I’m still here, aren’t you here to save me?” Su Wanyuan shouted hoarsely.
However, what responded to her was Xie Jingyan’s figure walking farther and farther away.
It was Gu Lanli who reacted first.
He hurriedly ran forward to untie Su Wanyuan.
The three kidnappers saw that things didn’t develop according to the script and became a bit panicked.
Oh no, too busy counting money forgot to do things.
Afraid of taking responsibility, they grabbed the money bags and ran away without looking back.
Gu Lanli looked at the cliff where only the two of them were left, feeling a bit disheveled in the wind.
Huh?
Huh???
Are you kidding me!
Old Xie’s mind: I’m just here to save my wife~ Even the bad one, I’ll take it~
