777 Lips Curled Up Into a Cold Smile

With the gun muzzle pointed at Lin Nuan, You Nainai didn't dare to move recklessly.

You Nainai could sense that Lin Nuan's hands were trembling. Even though her body was candid about her fear, her gaze remained especially clear. "Let that kid go!"

Fu Tianci was so shocked by Lin Nuan's actions that he was stunned for quite a while.

Fu Tianci had been innocently implicated, but… seeing Lin Nuan pointing the gun at herself to get the man to let him go, this was a great shock to Fu Tianci spiritually!

He had always felt that Lin Nuan actually hated him a little…

But why, why would she save him like that?

Fu Tianci's heart felt as if it was going to jump out from his throat. His fists, which were by his sides, clenched tightly, and his face tensed up. He spoke up, pretending to be composed. "Hey! Do you know who I am? I'm Fu Tianci! My father is Fu Qingquan! Do you know Kaide Corporation? I'm my father's only son! Do you believe that if you harm a single strand of my hair, my father will take all your family's lives?"

The boy's voice, during the voice-changing phase, had unique hoarseness to it. It could conceal the trembling in his voice.

Ah Zhan moved up the gun muzzle that was pressed against Fu Tianci, causing him to be in so much pain that he drew in a sharp gasp.

Ah Zhan could use Fu Tianci to threaten Lin Nuan, but she could also use herself to threaten Ah Zhan…

She believed that Ah Zhan wouldn't want a dead Lin Nuan!

"Thud thud thud—"

Outside the door, Ah Zhan's men knocked. The person lowered his voice and said to Ah Zhan with a perfect American accent, "Mr. Ah Zhan, the doctor called to say that Sir's condition isn't too good!"

The last bit of flush on Ah Zhan's face disappeared, and his pupils suddenly contracted. After a moment of tenseness in his body, he recalled what Lin Nuan had said earlier. He controlled himself, getting himself to calm down…

"Ms. Lin, you have a husband… and a child! You can't bear to die! It's the same as how I can't accept perishing together with you before my boss leaves this world! We all have our reservations and aren't willing to die easily, just like this! Therefore, I don't believe that you'll fire the gun at yourself for someone who doesn't matter!"

"You can give it a try!" Lin Nuan's gaze appeared calm. She didn't seem to be kidding.

Fu Tianci's throat rolled as he looked at Lin Nuan, wanting to say something. However, the gun muzzle was pressed even harder against him, causing his lower jaw to be unable to move…

Ah Zhan was infuriated, but there was nothing he could do. He was worried about Li Muyang, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Lin, I have no hatred nor any other emotions against you. The only reason that I'm not firing my gun at you is that our boss likes you! Once our boss leaves this world… the loss of my insignificant life won't matter. I'll let everyone in Jinjiang TV Station die together with him! This boy included! You included! Do you believe my words?"

Ah Zhan's gun muzzle was about to sink into the tender flesh at Fu Tianci's lower jaw, causing him to feel pain even when swallowing.

He strangled Fu Tianci's neck tightly, his gaze spiritless.

Looking at Fu Tianci frowning in pain, Lin Nuan still held onto the last bit of hope, not giving in.

Fu Tianci's hands tugged on Ah Zhan's arm, as he was feeling a little suffocated. His face had even flushed red.

However, Ah Zhan's gun pressed against him even harder.

"Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…" Fu Tianci couldn't hold back his cough, and even the blood vessels were popping up in the whites of his eyes.

Unable to breathe properly, Fu Tianci's body tensed up, and he kept on tugging at Ah Zhan's arm, coughing so badly that he bent over. However, Ah Zhan forcefully strangled his neck, pulling him back.

Fu Tianci's expression showed so much pain that it became distorted.

"I'll leave with you! Let the child go!" Lin Nuan couldn't continue seeing Fu Tianci in so much pain. She gave in first.

Today, if the person Ah Zhan was holding hostage were someone unrelated to her, Lin Nuan wouldn't be such a saint that she'd leave with Ah Zhan!

But… it had to be Fu Tianci!

All humans had emotions. It wasn't as if Lin Nuan couldn't sense Fu Tianci's affection toward Fu Huai'an and herself.

Ah Zhan's men had already said that Li Muyang's condition wasn't good…

Lin Nuan could have continued to hold her stance against Ah Zhan and waited for the call that Li Muyang had died to come in. Ah Zhan would then set off the explosives. Lin Nuan would also have to watch on as Ah Zhan tormented Fu Tianci. She was unable to accept that.

Lin Nuan had more things she cared about compared to Ah Zhan. Therefore, compared to Ah Zhan, she was more afraid to die. In a confrontation, the one who was more fearful of death would be the one to lose.

"I can't let him go for the moment. I have to invite this child to make a trip together with Ms. Lin. Otherwise, I have the feeling that there's nothing I have that can threaten Ms. Lin into cooperating with me!" Ah Zhan's gaze was filled with an unprecedented coldness.

The news that Li Muyang's condition wasn't good had stimulated his nerves. He was on the verge of going berserk.

"To express Ms. Lin's sincerity, please have Miss You throw the gun over to me. Of course, to express my sincerity… I can also allow Miss You and this miss with extraordinary skills to come with you!" Ah Zhan said.

Lin Nuan let go of You Nainai's hand and said to her, "Give him the gun…"

You Nainai gritted her teeth, put the gun on the floor, and slid it toward Ah Zhan.

Ah Zhan stepped on the gun that You Nainai had slid over. "Ms. Lin knows what I have on me. If you don't wish for this child to go through unnecessary harm, I request Miss You and the young lady next to Ms. Lin don't make any reckless moves!"

Ah Zhan put his gun behind his waist and took out the detonator from his pocket. He pulled Fu Tianci as he slowly squatted down, picked up the gun on the floor, and then put it behind his waist. He then stood up. "Then, I would like to request that Ms. Lin and your two friends go out first and follow my men!"

Ah Zhan strangled Fu Tianci's neck and moved toward the door. He turned the knob and pulled open the door, saying to the people outside, "Escort Ms. Lin and her two friends to the car! Leave two men behind to clean up the place!"

The assistant director outside wore a worried expression and looked inside. When he saw that the vanity mirror was shattered, with fragments all over the floor, his heart rose to his throat.

You Nainai and Mu Taotao shielded Lin Nuan between them and headed out. Mu Taotao's dark gaze locked onto Ah Zhan, and the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile…

Ever since Mu Taotao started to take on missions, there hadn't been anyone who managed to live on after having threatened her!

Their gazes met, and Ah Zhan felt as if Mu Taotao's gaze could see through a person, tearing them into shreds.

Outside, Ah Zhan's men displayed a "this way please" gesture toward Lin Nuan…

Lin Nuan looked toward Fu Tianci, then headed out the door.

"Sister Nuan, when we reach the elevator later, I'll bring you away first!" Mu Taotao lowered her voice and whispered next to Lin Nuan's ear.

There wasn't any time to pursue Mu Taotao's identity. Lin Nuan asked, "What about Fu Tianci?"

Mu Taotao was stunned. Her mission was to protect Lin Nuan. Mu Taotao neither cared nor thought about other people.

Seeing that Mu Taotao was stunned, Lin Nuan's brows furrowed.

Fu Tianci was implicated for no reason. If Lin Nuan were to leave Fu Tianci, Ah Zhan might just go crazy…
