After his change in expression, Ruan Anxi abruptly burst into laughter.

The murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

“If so, let's all die together! The agreement was to have tea together, but you had two bogus people come over and dupe me. If I die, my mother won't be able to live either, so it's best that we all perish together!”

Having said that, he ordered, “Tie the woman up first! I'm going to carve her heart out!”

Upon hearing that, Cheng Xiangyun shrieked in terror, “No! There isn't any grudge between us both! Don't kill me!”

At the same time, utter regret swamped her. If I'd known this would've happened, I wouldn't have tried playing hero! I'm going to have my heart carved out now. Can it still be stuffed back into my body afterward?

Similarly, Chai Hua was a touch dumbfounded. Never had he expected Ruan Anxi to be so unpredictable to the point of being determined to drag everyone down with him, unwilling to negotiate in the least.

I gave my word to Cheng Xiangyun that I would bring her back safely, but it now looks like I'll be forced to break my promise.

Beside Nan Chen, Ning Ran snatched the phone away and demanded, “Wait! Don't hurt her! She's my friend!”

“Initially, I didn't want to hurt anyone. I merely wanted to have tea with them both, but they actually dared to play me for a fool. They've gone overboard! Tell Nan Chen to notify those in the helicopters to open fire so that we can all die together!”

Seizing hold of Cheng Xiangyun's neck, Ruan Anxi lifted the scalpel, seemingly about to make his move for real.

“No! Stop it, Ruan Anxi! I'll come back and take her place!” Ning Ran cried out.

At the side, Nan Chen scowled at her.

What on earth is she saying? The purpose of all this preparation is to save her. If she were to return, wouldn't everything have been in vain?

“I object!” he countered frostily.

“I can't have Cheng die in my stead! This is my affair, and I can't drag her into the mess!” Ning Ran argued.

Surprisingly, Ruan Anxi stilled. “That's sensible. Indeed, you didn't disappoint me. You've got to handle your own affairs instead of colluding with them to deceive me. If you come back, I'll release the two of them!”
