I don't want…

I don't want to die!

She cried out helplessly in her heart; fat drops of tears rolled down her wide-open eyes. Alas, her delicate and piteous look only intensified the boy's disgust!

He pushed the gun barrel further down her throat; red capillaries crept densely on the iris of both his eyes as his index finger held close to the trigger.

"What did you do to my mommy?! What did you do to her?!"

He was like a wounded little beast as he yelled into her ear!

She was beyond terrified and dared not move an inch as she stared at him with wide-open eyes. Sound came from her throat intermittently. "No… don't… wuu…"

Don't kill me!

I don't want to die!

I really don't want to die…

"Let her go!"

Mu Yichen looked up with his bloodshot eyes and sniggered.

"Let my mommy go!"

The scar-faced man was indifferent, however, as he looked coolly at the child.

His heart took a gasp. "What? I told you to let her go; did you hear that?!"

"I heard it, but I won't do it," answered the man coldly.

"Her life is still in my hands!" The boy grabbed Mu Wanrou by her hair and made a signal with his eyes. "Why don't we make a deal here?"

"She's not worth it!" The man snorted. "I didn't expect you to deliver yourself straight to my door! That's good. This saves us from the trouble of kidnapping you!"

"What do you mean?"

The adult gave a throaty laugh. With two light claps, the warehouse was instantly flooded with a row of floodlight.

Darkness retreated with this onslaught of bright light.

Under the floodlight inside the warehouse, about ten or so military personnel was exposed. Each of them was armed to the teeth and looked battle-ready.

He was taken aback as his gaze swept past this team!

From their uniforms, he could see that they were elite soldiers whose abilities could not be underestimated!

The man snorted once more. "He he! Do you think that you can safely retreat from here after you walk in?! A kid is just a kid, after all—so utterly naïve!"

"…" The boy gnashed his teeth angrily. His body shook uncontrollably as fury coursed through him, causing his bloodshot eyes to look even redder.

The man sized the lad up satisfactorily and then looked at Mu Wanrou before smilingly telling him unreservedly, "As for the woman in your hands, you can kill or do as you wish to her! In any case, it's impossible to let your mother go!"

The child drew in a breath sharply. His angry gaze fell on her and mixed emotions rose in him at that moment.

He might not be biological related to her, but there was still a little emotional attachment!

Alas, now, deeply disappointed, he despised and hated her to the extreme!

Oh, how he hated!

He was so angry that he wanted to finish her off with a shot!

The boy pinned the gun barrel between her brows and appeared to be about to pull the trigger when the woman bawled tearfully, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Little Yichen, can you really bear to finish me off?!"
