Upon hearing Shen Manbing yell like that, the lunatic became even more agitated, pointing his gun directly at Gu Qichen, a strange smile playing upon the corners of his mouth.

He turned his head, looking tenderly at Shen Manbing. “Bingbing, do you see? The man you devoted your youth to loving has ultimately betrayed you, marrying another woman. Shall I avenge you, put him to death, wouldn’t that make you happy?”

Shen Manbing, her eyes brimming with rage and bright red, retorted, “If you dare to harm him, I’ll never let you off, not even if I were a ghost.”

The man, brows furrowed in confusion, responded, “You’re still protecting him even now? Bingbing, he has already abandoned you. Why do you still love him? Why can’t you spare a glance for me, while I love you so much?”

Shen Manbing seemed to dismiss his words entirely, yelling instead towards Gu Qichen. “You must leave! Go now. Do it!”

The man’s emotions can hardly be contained; one moment he is laughing uproariously, the next, his expression twisted into an unhinged frenzy.

He stepped back a few steps, dragging Shen Manbing with him.

Gu Qichen, still trying to approach, proposed, “Don’t you love her? Look at how she is suffering now. Can you bear to see her in pain if you love her? Instead, how about this? I’ll be your hostage, and you can use me as leverage. Manbing will absolutely comply with your demands. You understand too, I’m the person she loves the most. At that point, propose to her, she will definitely accept.”

Shen Manbing continued to yell at Gu Qichen, insisting that he leave.

Even Xia Yangyang did not try to stop Gu Qichen from taking risks.

Because Xia Yangyang knew, if he were to ignore this and do nothing, regardless of whether Shen Manbing were in trouble or not, Gu Qichen would live in guilt his whole life.

Xia Yangyang stood quietly in her place.

Merely watching the scene unfold in silence.

The thug appeared to be swayed by Gu Qichen’s words.

Right, Shen Manbing was so worried about him; she would rather face death than allow this man to risk his life for her.

This man was her Achilles heel.

If he used him as a threat, she would definitely agree to marry him, right?

As long as she agreed, and as long as they could get married, he would treat her really well, and she would surely love him in the future. All she had to do was to agree.

A glimmer of brilliance appeared in the thug’s eyes as he responded, “Alright, come over here, hurry.”

Gu Qichen took one step at a time, walking towards the edge of the rooftop.

Shen Manbing, frantic, was already cursing at him, “Gu Qichen, you get the hell out of here! I don’t need your help!”

Everyone present found the unfolding scene deeply moving.

The thug was clearly a madman. He was love-crazed, desiring nothing more than for Shen Manbing to accept his proposal.

But everyone knew, Gu Qichen’s intent was merely to have him release Shen Manbing first, a strategy to buy time.

Yet Gu Qichen had thrown himself into danger.

He was on the edge of the rooftop, where one false step would result in a deadly fall.

Moreover, the man still had a gun, he had just lost his mind momentarily.

Once he realized, would he go mad? No one knew what would happen next.

Gu Qichen, calm and composed, spoke to the thug, “I have come here as promised. Now you release Manbing. Then, you can negotiate peacefully. Trust me, she will definitely say ‘yes’ willingly.”

The man was now completely disoriented. His face displayed a bewildered yet blissful expression, a happy blueprint seemingly playing out in his head.

He said in delight, “Yes, I want her to willingly accept me. Don’t wish to force her. I truly don’t.”

Slowly, the thug’s hand, which was clutching Shen Manbing’s neck, began to loosen…
