The temple of the handsome man sitting upright on the black class chair jumped.
However, with his exceptional mental fortitude and ability to deal with difficult problems at the very top, his black eyes did not reveal any fear or panic even at such a crucial moment.
"Say it, what do you want?"
The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone laughed complacently, "Your wife and children are with me. These three lives should be worth at least 100 million, right? You are extremely rich, so you shouldn't be so stingy, right? "
"It's that simple?" Xiao Yan asked calmly.
"You brought a hundred million here, so of course you know how to play this game! I'll give you an hour. If you dare call the police or don't show up, then just wait for your wife, children, and lovers to be collected! "
[BEEP ~ ~] The phone rang and hung up.
… ….
Qiao Mo and Song Xiazhi were moved to an old abandoned factory.
On Qiao Mo's lower body, fresh blood flowed recklessly, as if numerous Mandara Flowers were blooming.
Collisions, bumps, fatigue … It made her sleepy and sore.
In his heart, that feeling of despair was more intense than anything else.
— Xiao Yan, I will never … I won't love you.
Song Xiazhi was so terrified that she was about to go crazy.
The middle-aged man had fixed the two explosive devices onto Qiao Mo and Song Xiazhi's bodies.
"Do you all want to know who Xiao Yan really loves?"
Song Xiazhi was so frightened that she could not say a word.
"You're crazy … Crazy... It will explode! "
The middle-aged man felt that Song Xiazhi's voice was noisy, and with a "pa" sound, he fiercely slapped Song Xiazhi's face.
"Be quiet!"
Being beaten up, Song Xiazhi did not dare to make another sound.
As for Qiao Mo, she was extremely quiet, like a person who was about to die. She did not move, speak, or cry.
Her gaze was eerily quiet as she looked at the river of blood below her.
The explosive settings were respectively tied to Song Xiazhi and Qiao Mo's bodies, and the red electronic time was running out minute by second.
An hour passed quickly.
Thirty minutes passed and the entire abandoned factory became extremely quiet. Only the sound of the footsteps could be heard, moving quickly in the extremely tense air.
Qiao Mo seemed to have dried her tears, as she would never shed tears again.
The middle-aged man lit up a cigarette and even chatted with them about the smoke and ashes. He was not afraid of the fireworks at all.
Song Xiazhi was so scared that her teeth chattered.
"In my opinion, that cowardly Xiao Yan will not care about your lives! Since that's the case, let's go to hell together! He caused my family to be ruined, how could I have pulled three bastards with him! There was one, and he was even the future heir to the Xiao's Group! "Hahahaha..."
The wild laughter made the scar on the man's face look even more sinister.
At that moment, the middle-aged man's phone suddenly rang.
When Song Xiazhi heard the bell sound, she quivered.
"Big … Big brother Xiao …"
The middle-aged man waved the phone in his hand, "Look, your savior is here!"
"Hey!"
The middle-aged man answered the phone.
Xiao Yan asked to talk to Song Xiazhi.
"Your Big Brother Xiao wants to talk to you." The middle-aged man sneered as he looked at the half-dead Qiao Mo. "Heh, looks like my wife isn't as important as my lover. What a pity. "
The middle-aged man placed the phone close to Song Xiazhi's ear.
Song Xiazhi cried in fright, "Xiao … Elder Brother Xiao … Hurry up and save me … This person was so scary … Hurry up and save me … "
"Qiao Mo is by your side? How is she? "
Song Xiazhi shook her head, "I don't know … She didn't know … She bled a lot, a lot of blood... "
Xiao Yan who was at the other side, flicked his long fingers, and stepped on the throttle to its limit, driving the car at its fastest speed.
Like a cheetah, the black Viscount sped through the suburbs at high speeds.
"Got it, I'll be right there."
"Elder Brother Xiao …" Hurry up and save me … "
The middle-aged man looked at Qiao Mo pitifully, "I think this Xiao Yan is really something, to think that his wife and children were kidnapped, and he was still thinking about Little San."
Song Xiazhi retorted while crying, "I'm not the mistress …! If it wasn't for Qiao Mo, Big Brother Xiao and I would be so happy together! "
"Which mistress admits that she is a mistress?" The man sneered, then said to Qiao Mo: "I see that your husband is trash, there's no meaning in living anymore, why don't I send you to heaven later?!"
The flames of death burned within Qiao Mo's eyes, and not a single ripple could be seen.
The man grew impatient and kicked her.
"Hey!"
"But now is not the time for you to die. Later, I will let that bastard Xiao Yan choose! I've prepared a special gift for him! This explosive device can reduce a line before time runs out, but … " The man sneered, "If one of you survives, the other will be blown to death."
Song Xiazhi trembled as she watched the calm Qiao Mo at the side.
"Big brother Xiao will definitely save me! He will definitely!" Big Brother Xiao loves me! "
The man looked at his watch. It was almost time.
He pressed the lift button beside him.
Qiao Mo on the left and Song Xiazhi on the right were both suspended in midair at the same time.
Song Xiazhi screamed, "What the hell are you doing!? "Madman!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that this explosive device has been activated and can no longer be terminated. Xiao Yan has no other choice but to choose one of the two! "
… ….
When the explosive device was still 15 minutes away, the abandoned factory's door suddenly opened, and a tall and slender male figure came out from within.
Qiao Mo closed her eyes and slightly raised her head.
That blinding light, and in addition to that, a thorn, stabbed into her blood-red eyes.
Xiao Yan walked with big steps, every step was filled with determination, sharpness, coldness … Murderous!
The middle-aged man clapped his hands, "Wake up! Your savior is here! "
Xiao Yan threw the silver safe box in his hands to the middle-aged man's feet.
"100 million!"
The middle-aged man did not even look as he kicked the safe away, "Xiao Yan, do you really think that I care about your smelly money?! A man like you reeking of copper will never understand what's the most important thing! However, today you will have a taste of losing your loved ones! "
"What do you want?"
"In front of you, there is an explosive device. I have activated this device, so you don't have to use all your effort to stop it, because it is just the beginning, the end of it … Explosions! However, you have two choices. If you can use the scissors at your hand to cut off the red thread, then the Blue Line will explode. Of course, you can also choose to cut off the Blue Line. The red line represents the left, the blue line represents the right. You decide. "
The red line was Qiao Mo, and the blue line was Song Xiazhi.
Xiao Yan reached out his hands, gripped the scissors and approached the explosive device.
Ten minutes.
"You better hurry up! Otherwise, if you continue to hesitate, this device will quickly explode! "
Song Xiazhi suddenly shouted, "Big Brother Xiao! You promised my big brother you would take good care of me! "
Xiao Yan's movements froze.
"Big Brother Xiao, don't be silly, the child in Qiao Mo's stomach is Rong Chengmo's! It's not yours! "
The middle-aged man leaned on the side with a cold smile as if he was watching a play.
"Xiao Yan, I never thought that you would be such a bastard. Even your wife is giving you a green hat! It looks like the heavens have sent someone to punish you! "His wife is carrying another man's child in her womb!"
The corner of Qiao Mo's mouth slipped past her pale white, she had nothing more to say.
Without Xiao Yan, with no children, she had nothing.
Is there anything worse than this?
Five minutes passed and Xiao Yan still did not cut a line.
"Hey!" Don't you want to save any of them? If this continues, neither your wife nor your lover will be able to escape! "
Xiao Yan's lips curled up in a cold smile, "It's still too late to turn back now."
The middle-aged man laughed arrogantly, "The one who should turn back is not me, it's you who should decide! Xiao Yan, I hate you being so haughty all the time! Open your eyes wide and look, the one in dire straits is you! Not me! Don't be so f * cking self-righteous! "
"You think I will lose?"
Xiao Yan smiled and used a pair of scissors to cut off the blue line.
The breathing of everyone present became heavy.
The blue line was cut, but Qiao Mo, who was tied to the left side by the red line, was safe and sound.
The explosive device was instantly extinguished.
Xiao Yan threw the scissors aside and stood there coldly with both hands in his pockets, looking at him disdainfully: "If you want to learn to install some kind of explosive device, the first thing you have to do is to study well. "Also, don't test me with your stupid brain."
… ….
It was a false alarm.
However, when Xiao Yan decided to cut the blue line, her heart, too, died.
To take the risk, it would still be to protect the one he loved, not her and the child.
… ….
In the hospital, the operating light went on.
Xiao Yan's good friend, Mu Jingyu, quickly rushed over after hearing the news.
"Ah Yan, how is Qiao Mo?"
Xiao Yan's hands moved to his pockets, and he stood behind the wall with his forehead against the wall, not saying a word.
Mu Jingyu looked at his gloomy face and asked, "To be honest, if the explosive device hadn't been installed the wrong way, it really would have detonated. Just who would you have saved?"
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and sighed: "I don't know."
If he saved Qiao Mo, then he would never be able to face the dead Song Xia Ming. But if he saved Song Xiazhi, then he would know that the moment he chose to cut the blue line, he would forever … Losing Qiao Mo, losing … The only happiness.
"In the end, whose child is Qiao Mo?"
"I don't know."
Mu Jingyu asked two questions in a row, and Xiao Yan replied with "I don't know."
Xiao Yan, who had always been resolute and omniscient, the invincible, actually had such a moment of embarrassment and confusion in his life.
Mu Jingyu had an eye-opener.
"Then, when Qiao Mo wakes up, what do you plan to do?"
How to explain?
"I don't know."
Mu Jingyu: "…"
Xiao Yan's third "I don't know" completely frightened him.
Mu Jingyu asked again, "Alright, since you don't know anything else, then you should know that if Qiao Mo wants to divorce you and leave you, then you should … …"
Before Mu Jingyu could finish her question, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head and stared intently at him with his deep black eyes. A hint of patience flashed across his eyes, "I will absolutely not let Qiao Mo leave me."
"Alright," Mu Jingyu nodded, "But Ah Yan, you have to know, from now on, Song Xiazhi's existence will become a thorn in Qiao Mo's heart forever."
Xiao Yan said calmly: "I am 99% sure that the explosive device will not detonate."
Mu Jingyu went straight to the point, "But you need to know, in this 1% life or death crisis, the one you chose was Song Xiazhi, not Qiao Mo."
