716 A Million Times for You 78 (2/2)

The news report was titled: ”The president stands firm on his decision and decides not to succumb to terrorism. The negotiation has failed.”

It was clearly a carefully-curated article written by a professional.

The article was a detailed writeup that described the challenges and difficulties faced during the negotiation with the terrorists, the vast number of soldiers sacrificed in the process, as well as the possible consequences the country will have to bear if they were to give in to the conditions laid by the terrorists.

After the article was released, all the easily-influenced netizens immediately went with the crowd and showed their strong support for the nation's decision.

At the same time, they did not forget to take pity on An Xiaoning.

Everyone was certain that An Xiaoning would not be able to make it back alive.

Many netizens took to Weibo to show their pity and concern toward An Xiaoning, seemingly having placed much less emphasis on the controversial issue of her three marriages.

However, there were still some malicious netizens who repulsively gloated over An Xiaoning's mishap, saying that she had deserved it for making all other women jealous of her while she was alive. They thought that it was only right for her to lose as much as she had gained.

They made every comment and statement in shameless self-righteousness.

While a major uproar was breaking out all over the internet, Xu Baizhi and her husband were brought to the secret basement obscured within Wei Ni Estate.

They were kneeling on the ground with their limbs tied together, appearing extremely pale and disheveled.

Jin Qingyan and Fan Shixin were standing right in front of them.

”Are you still not going to speak up? Xu Baizhi, you'd better speak up while I'm still patient. Don't wait until I decide to give you a hard time,” Jin Qingyan scorned sternly with a menacing look in his eyes.

”Will you let me go after I speak up? You won't, right?” Xu Baizhi asked.

”I will,” said Jin Qingyan, desperately wanting to know An Xiaoning's whereabouts.

”You will? Why do I feel like you're lying to me?” Xu Baizhi asked apprehensively.

”Of course, you may choose not to believe me, but do you really have a choice right now? Where is An Xiaoning?” Jin Qingyan questioned again.

”Let my husband go and I'll tell you. He's innocent,” said Xu Baizhi, taking a look at the man beside her.

”Okay.” Jin Qingyan then instructed Fan Shixin, ”Release her husband.”

”Baizhi…”

Just as Xu Baizhi's husband was about to say something, she interrupted him, ”Hush, don't say anything. I did this alone. It has nothing to do with you. I probably won't be able to make it out of here. Get out and carry on with life. You shouldn't even have been implicated in this. This is the end of our fate as a couple.”

The man wanted to say something but ended up remaining quiet and exiting together with Fan Shixin.

After they left, Jin Qingyan asked again, ”Can you speak up now?”

”I was the only person behind this. I did it because I wanted to leave the organization together with my husband, that's why…”

Before she could even finish, he interjected, ”Don't waste my time, get straight to the point! Where is she now!?!”

Xu Baizhi shivered in shock and fear and answered without hesitation, ”She's on Mount Qingping in R Nation. That mountain is much steeper than average mountains and has many obstacles. Average people usually won't be able to get near it at all.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Young Sir!” Fan Shixin scurried in and whispered into his ear.

Jin Qingyan flew into an uncontrollable rage after hearing Fan Shixin's words and immediately grabbed a thick steel rod, which he swung toward Xu Baizhi's head.

”Ah!” Xu Baizhi shrieked in pain and passed out soon after.

Fan Shixin watched as Xu Baizhi fell onto the ground and stopped moving after a few shivers. Blood began to flow from her head and seeped into the cement floor. Her brain had also fallen out of her skull.

Although she was already dead, Jin Qingyan was still not appeased and continued to hit her lifeless body with the rod several times more.
