Chapter 110 - Living or Dying (2/2)

Song Zemin smiled. ”I think you would have been my favourite if Rui had let me around you and the others.”

”You're a creep,” Song Ren retorted.

Soon after, he unlatched the knife, aiming it for Qian Meigui's neck. He looked towards Song Ren, then he spoke quietly. ”Give it to me, or I will slash her throat like a smile, and she will bleed out at your feet. Would you like that?” he asked her.

Song Ren's throat bobbed, but her eyes did not waver. She will have to demand her father to explain things to her later.

Song Ren began to unzip her suit as the USB drive wrapped around her neck. She began to remove it when Qian Meigui said, ”Don't. Please. That's my mother's work, and if they take it, then they will win.” She began to cry.

Song Ren felt disheartened, but she unstrapped it from her neck; she gave it to her uncle, nonetheless. ”Can you let us go?” she then asked him.

Song Zemin took the drive from her in smug satisfaction. He then approached a wide computer screen, flicking it on. ”I have to check it's authenticity first. Then I will consider it.”

Both Song Zemin and Lin Anni hovered over the screen, waiting for the data to load in anticipation. As they waited, Song Ren moved closer towards Qian Meigui who appeared to be defeated. ”Do you have a weapon?” she asked in a whisper.

”What?” Qian Meigui asked her to repeat.

”Do you have a weapon?” Song Ren asked again.

Qian Meigui shook her head, but then she said, ”I have a round-bottom flask.”

Song Ren felt like chuckling, but she contained herself. ”Perfect.”

”I need you to break it on my mark. You take that bitch, and I will take my uncle.”

Qian Meigui nodded.

After the data loaded, both Song Zemin and Lin Anni gasped in satisfaction. The work was authentic.

They turned to face them. Song Zemin clapped. ”Song Ren, your reputation remains; you do not disappoint.”

Song Ren gritted her teeth. ”Now can you let us go?” She asked him.

Song Zemin thought momentarily. ”You see I can't let that happen,” he began. ”If you tell the police everything, then we'll be arrested and all this,” he pointed at the empty space as if it was his dominion, ”will be for nothing.”

Song Ren seethed out, ”If you kill Song Rui's daughters, then you're in for a load of shit.”

”Ah, but all I have to do is take down Rui. That, too, was long overdue.”

”You're disgusting,” Song Ren responded.

Song Zemin then turned to Lin Anni, ”You may go. I will take care of these two,” he said.

Lin Anni gave him a look of disgust before nodding and turning away. Qian Meigui thought they might have divorced when Lin Anni discovered that her husband was a psychopath, but even she wasn't entirely a saint. But despite their marital downfall, they were partners in crime.
