Realizing that the little person who stood at the side of the roof was a baby, Lin Xi's heart immediately stopped, and his breathing also became hurried.
She didn't wait for the flat-headed man behind her to push her again as she jogged up to the rooftop.
On the balcony, the baby's hands were tied up, and then they were carried by Chu Lan. The two of them stood at the edge of the roof with their backs facing Lin Xi.
Because this district was old, there were no fences on the rooftop. Baby was standing at the side. If he took another step forward, he would fall!
"Baby?" Lin Xi was afraid that if he was scared, it would cause something to happen to him, so she carefully called for his baby.
She wanted to rush forward and pull the baby back, but was held back by the flat-headed man who followed.
When the little baby at the side of the roof heard Lin Xi's voice, she suddenly turned her head. When she saw Lin Xi, her tears fell.
Before Lin Xi came, no matter what Chu Lan did to the baby, he had held back from crying. But he was still a child, and wasn't really unafraid.
When he saw the person he was relying on, he felt wronged and scared at the same time. Tears began to flow uncontrollably from his eyes.
But he did not cry, only silently wept.
But the more he was like this, the more Lin Xi felt pain in her heart, as if her internal organs were being minced.
Lin Xi glared at Chu Lan with red eyes, and asked angrily: "Didn't you say that as long as I come, you will release this baby? Now that I'm here, you can let him go! "
Chu Lan turned around and laughed coldly, but she did not move an inch.
She sarcastically replied Lin Xi with a question, "What? It's so heartbreaking? "
Of course, Lin Xi's heart ached, she was about to speak again, but then she was interrupted by the man holding her head: "I say, if you have any grievances, there will be plenty of time to settle it later, let's just settle my 'labor fee' right now."
His words were naturally directed at Chu Lan.
Chu Lan interrupted her tempo and frowned in dissatisfaction. However, she still took out a bank card from her pocket and threw it to him.
Chu Lan said: "The money is inside. The withdrawal password is on the back of the card."
The man with the crew cut reached out and caught the card. He looked at the password on the back and stuffed it into his pants pocket.
He wasn't afraid that Chu Lan would lie to him, as the money given wasn't enough. Firstly, it was because they had cooperated before, and the cooperation was quite happy. Secondly, if Chu Lan really didn't give him enough money, he would be able to make him spit it out twice over.
The man kept the bank card and pushed Lin Xi towards Chu Lan. "My job is done, then I'll be going."
However, just as he turned around and took two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at the baby again, and then asked Chu Lan: "What are you going to do about this child? If you haven't decided how to deal with it yet, you might as well leave it to me. "
The man had a ferocious look, even his words sounded evil, causing the baby to shiver when she heard him talk about her, she subconsciously went over to Chu Lan.
Although he couldn't say it, but he felt that his fierce uncle would be even worse than Chu Lan.
Chu Lan and the baby were very close, so she naturally noticed the baby move closer to him.
She hadn't intended to hurt the baby, but now that she saw him subconsciously getting closer to her, she felt even more unwilling.
On the other hand, the man before her who she had hired was a cruel and evil person.
The man with the crew cut had been taken to the police station after the baby was attacked in the parking lot, but in less than two months, he had somehow gotten out of jail.
However, it was precisely because of this person's ability that she would hire him a second time.
Now he wanted to take the baby away, but it wouldn't be easy.
Chu Lan paused for a moment, then rejected him: "The child still cannot be given to you, I still have a use for him."
When the man with the crew cut heard this, he shrugged his shoulders in pity but did not continue the conversation. This time, he turned around and left quickly and neatly.
Although Lin Xi had her hands tied behind her back, her legs were still free.
When the man with a flat head walked down the roof, she tried to get close to Chu Lan, but was stopped by Chu Lan: "If you don't want anything to happen to your baby, then stand still and answer a few questions for me."
Lin Xi did not dare to step forward again, and she suppressed her anger with great difficulty: "Okay, ask away."
Chu Lan asked: "You are actually called Bai Nianxi, and was Qin Yu's fiancee four years ago … "No, you were married four years ago, weren't you?"
Lin Xi nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes."
Chu Lan asked again: "Is that baby your and Qin Yu's child?"
"No," Lin Xi didn't know why Chu Lan had insisted that the baby was her child, but she immediately denied it, "Although Qin Yu and I were married four years ago, we divorced very quickly, and the baby wasn't my child either. We have nothing to do with each other."
Chu Lan scoffed at her in disbelief, "What? You're still trying to lie to me. Do you think I'll let you go just because you said that it has nothing to do with the baby? "
"I wish you would let him go, but I have nothing to do with him!" Lin Xi couldn't help but repeat herself.
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "I don't know where you got this news, saying that this baby is a child of Qin Yu and I, but it was really fake.
"I admit, Qin Yu and I had a child before, but he died four years ago. If you really were to know something, then you should know that four years ago, the reason why Qin Yu was heavily injured and was hospitalized was to save a child from an explosion.
But Chu Lan would never listen to Lin Xi's explanation. She coldly planned for Lin Xi to say: "Heh! It's all a story, but I don't believe it! "
She knew about Qin Yu being heavily injured and going to the hospital four years ago, but to save her child? She had never heard of such a thing.
Lin Xi quickly thought about it as she hurriedly explained, "Then you should know about your baby's birthday. I've already left Z City for more than four years, but the baby has only turned four years old. There's a full half a year difference between the two, so it's impossible that he's my child!"
What's the difference between a four-year-old and a four-and-a-half-year-old? He could even forge a birth certificate now, let alone a mere birthday? In these past few years, there hasn't been any other woman by Qin Yu's side. If you aren't the baby's biological mother, then tell me who you are? " Chu Lan still didn't believe him, he insisted that Lin Xi was lying.
Lin Xi was suddenly stumped by Chu Lan's words.
A strange feeling welled up in her heart.
She actually agreed with what Chu Lan said just now a little.
A four and a half year old child couldn't really see much of a difference, but when Qin Yu was with him, other than having Hu Yuefei by his side, he had never had any intimate relationships with other women …
Furthermore, at the time of the explosion, although Qin Yu was unable to rescue the baby, the police did not find the baby's body in the ruins.
What if what Chu Lan said was true?
When Lin Xi first met this baby, she was already curious about her background.
However, at that time, she didn't want to get to know Qin Yu again, so she endured her curiosity and did not ask him more …
Lin Xi was a little absent-minded at this inopportune moment.
Chu Lan had seen every single one of Lin Xi's actions, and she treated her silence as tacit agreement.
She first laughed at herself, then suddenly became angry, "So that's how it is. You saying that you stole my boyfriend is fine, but why do you treat me like a monkey for the past month? The two of you, Chen Cang, are secretly whispering to each other, so what do I count as? "Ahhh!"
She thought about how she had spent more than a month's time trying to curry favor with Qin Yu, the various grievances and neglect she had received from him, and the situation she wasn't in right now where she was going to serve drinks for him … All of this was thanks to Lin Xi!
Chu Lan's face gradually twisted, revealing a crazed look.
She pushed the baby half a step toward the edge of the roof.
"No!" Lin Xi immediately exclaimed.
"No?" Chu Lan laughed sinisterly, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to save him right now. If you really care about your son, then jump down from here!"
Lin Xi was not surprised that Chu Lan would bring up this request, and did not bother with the matter of whether the baby was her son.
When she chose to come alone to see Chu Lan, she knew that she wouldn't be able to be merciful on this trip, and was already prepared to throw her life away.
In her previous life, she had fallen from the window of the fifth floor. This time, it was from the roof of the fifth floor, and similarly, she fell from the tower. Perhaps, this was destined to happen a long time ago …
However, she couldn't just die in vain. If she died in the right place, she had to save the baby before she died.
Therefore, Lin Xi tried to slowly walk forward and said: "I promise you everything, but you have to let go of this baby first. He's still a child who doesn't know anything, release him on behalf of the aunt he called you for so long."
"You have no right to negotiate with me!" Chu Lan used a sinister gaze to look at Lin Xi who was one step away from her. "However, if you die and I'm satisfied, perhaps I might really let him go."
Lin Xi then quietly stepped forward and said: "Alright, I agree."
But just as she said that, she suddenly reached out her hands to hug Chu Lan, and together with Chu Lan, they fell onto the balcony.
Thank you for learning the skill of removing the ropes from Qin Yu back then.
After the man with a flat head took the money and left, Lin Xi had been untied her hands from behind. Even when she was talking to Chu Lan, she purposely delayed for a bit.
Only until the rope was completely untied, did she probe and walk in front of Chu Lan, doing her best to pull him back from the Heaven Stage.
Chu Lan had always been holding onto the little baby, but when she was suddenly pulled down by Lin Xi, she subconsciously let go of her hand, but the little baby still staggered a little, but luckily, the two of them were falling towards the roof. The little baby took a few steps back, and just happened to leave the edge of the roof.
