160 Her Life Lies in Your Hands 3 (2/2)

”Out to handle some matters.”

Chi Rui'er lifted her clothes to peek at her growing baby bump. What she had to focus on doing now was to make Gu Dongcheng devote to her completely and get married after.

She had already begun hatching a plan to get him to marry her.

Having already bribed the doctors and nurses at the hospital, she was confident that she could execute her plan seamlessly.

The position of the Eldest Young Madam of the Gu Family was hers to keep!

He received a new text message the day after.

It read: ”Getting impatient, huh? Your wife and sister are right here in front of me. Jin Qingyan, pick one, their lives are in your hands. I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time deciding. How about this, I'll give you a day to decide. If I still don't get an answer from you by tomorrow, then I'm sorry, but I'll be taking both their lives.”

Jin Qingyan almost passed out upon reading the message.

Choosing between the two of them…

How was he supposed to decide?

One was his wife, and the other, his sister. There was no way he could come to a decision.

Noticing how pale he looked, Mrs. Jin asked worriedly, ”Qingyan, what did they say?”

Jin Qingyan did not answer and instead handed her his mobile phone.

Mrs. Jin was dumbfounded upon reading the message.

The mobile phone was passed to Gu Beicheng, who then said while staring at Jin Qingyan, ”We have to save Xiaoning first, no matter what.”

Mrs. Jin could not help but protest, ”No! Didn't you see that we're only allowed to choose one? What's going to happen to Qingyue if we choose to save Xiaoning?”

”Who was the one who landed Xiaoning in such a plight?” Gu Beicheng scoffed.

Jin Qingyan stood up immediately and snatched his phone back, after which he hurriedly replied with a text message, pleading for them to release An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyue in exchange for his life.

Little did he expect that the hitmen would reply almost instantly with just one word: ”No.”

Jin Qingyan knew immediately what they had up their sleeves — they had wanted him to suffer the torment of being torn between saving his wife and his sister.

”Young Sir, I've found the location of the place they're hiding them,” said Fan Shixin as he entered through the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Qingyan received yet another message.

”You'd better watch out the next time your men comes near us. Don't forget, we have your wife and sister.”

”Keep your distance from them, don't go too near,” Jin Qingyan instructed.

”Yes.”

After a brief moment of silence that filled the air, Mrs. Gu began to speak, ”They demand an answer from us within 24 hours from now. How about we send some men to save them in secret tonight?”

Furrowing his brows, Gu Beicheng said, ”Mother, that's impossible. They'll definitely be taking shifts to guard the place.”

”What are we supposed to do then? No matter what it is, Xiaoning has to make it out alive,” said Mrs. Gu, her head aching in frustration.

”I'd also like for Xiaoning to be able to escape unscathed, but we can't allow Qingyue to die too,” said Mrs. Jin.

”That's enough, stop arguing. We'll discuss this slowly. But of course, it'd be best if both of them are safe and sound,” Mr. Jin interjected.
