Chapter 2352: Chapter 156: I’m Not Stupid, Why Would I Want to Die?
The response to Ye Zhan was Shi Dongliang’s laughter.
After laughing, he pointed his phone at Momo and Qin Qingqing, “Momo, aren’t you going to quickly have Ye Zhan rescue you?”
Momo pressed her lips tightly together, her eyes cold as water.
Qin Qingqing was the same, not saying a word.
Shi Dongliang looked at the two of them, their faces pale and clearly scared, yet pretending to be unafraid.
He laughed again, “Ye Zhan, do you want to hear your woman begging you for rescue? If you want to hear it, I have a way to make her speak.”
“Shi Dongliang, you might have misunderstood.”
On the other end of the phone, Ye Zhan’s fingers tightened around the phone.
The moment he guessed Shi Dongliang had captured Momo, his heart clenched instantly.
Now, hearing him say he has a way to make Momo speak.
He didn’t need to ask to know it wouldn’t be a good method.
He suppressed the worry in his heart, maintaining his usual calm and coolness.
“Misunderstood what?” Shi Dongliang sneered, “Ye Zhan, you wouldn’t deny your relationship with Momo, right? Ah Zhen said she saw you two check into a room before, that couldn’t possibly be fake. Yesterday, you sent her to the TV station and were photographed by reporters, that was irrefutable. Today at noon, your grandfather personally met her…”
Even though Shi Dongliang was hiding in the shadows, he knew everything.
Ye Zhan’s handsome face grew colder with his words, like frost.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted sending her to the TV station yesterday.
It made Shi Dongliang mistakenly believe that Momo and he were truly in a relationship, thus threatening her safety.
Ye Zhan glanced at his subordinate beside him, listening to Shi Dongliang say, “Besides Momo, there’s also Qin Qingqing in the car. Ye Zhan, didn’t you want to marry her before? Now’s your chance, would you let them live or die?”
“Don’t harm the innocent, whatever demands you have, just say it.”
Ye Zhan took a deep breath and said coldly.
“Tell your people at the airport to let us pass.”
“Where are you now?”
“I’m almost at the airport, if you don’t let us pass…”
Shi Dongliang’s words suddenly stopped.
Because the person in the car approaching from afar was Ye Zhan.
His complexion changed suddenly, his eyes turning fierce.
Ye Zhan was driving his own car.
Two cars were following behind him.
Unlike the siren-blaring police cars, they were silent.
But how did he intercept him?
And in such a short time.
Could it be, he saw through his earlier plan to lure away the tiger from the mountain?
After the sharp sound of brakes.
Shi Dongliang and his men’s cars were surrounded.
One by one, armed individuals jumped out of the cars and surrounded them, and for a moment, the entire air was filled with a murderous and deadly aura.
Shi Dongliang wasn’t afraid.
Because he had hostages.
And he thought they were very important to Ye Zhan.
He dragged out Momo, while his men held Qin Qingqing, and the two got out of the car together.
Shi Dongliang coldly laughed, looking a few meters away at Ye Zhan, dressed in military uniform, his expression cold and murderous.
He pushed the gun against Momo’s temple forward another inch, the cold muzzle causing Momo’s brow to furrow in a cold expression.
“Ye Zhan, I didn’t expect you to find us so quickly.”
A few meters apart, Ye Zhan’s eyes fell on the woman held at gunpoint by Shi Dongliang.
His heart quietly hung in the air because of her.
Yet, on the surface, he showed no more tension than an ordinary hostage situation.
At the moment Momo met Ye Zhan’s gaze, she tugged at the corner of her mouth, intending to smile at him, but she couldn’t.
In all her life, this was her first encounter with such danger.
She was scared.
But she knew, no matter how scared she was, it wouldn’t change Shi Dongliang’s perversion and hatred.
In fact, the more scared she appeared, the more excited he would become.
Her eyes quietly met Ye Zhan’s, staring at him, she ultimately said nothing.
She was afraid if she said the wrong thing, it would anger Shi Dongliang. Remembering what he did to that innocent little girl earlier, and not wanting to die, she chose silence.
She and Ye Zhan’s eyes locked for three seconds, and in those three seconds, it seemed she understood the message in his eyes.
Don’t be afraid!
She suddenly recalled his words to her at noon at Yinhu, “There’s no need to be afraid.”
She lightly pressed her lips together.
The pallor on her small face regained a hint of color.
Seeing him get out of the car, seeing him stand a few meters away, tall and resolute, the fear in her heart, as if a black hole swallowing her reason, miraculously subsided a little.
Perhaps because he had helped her twice before, she had an unconscious trust in him.
“Shi Dongliang, let them go.”
A breeze brushed past, carrying a familiar scent.
As Ye Zhan’s deep, firm voice echoed, he took a step forward with his long legs, walking toward them.
Shi Dongliang’s face changed, his eyes fiercely staring at Ye Zhan, “Ye Zhan, you’d better not come any closer, a slight movement of my finger and your woman will be dead.”
“I’m not his woman.”
From the moment she got in the car until now, Momo had been silent, but she suddenly denied it.
Her small face lifted, cold and resolute, her eyes like water mocking Shi Dongliang, “You’ve been deceived by Shi Zhen. In her eyes, any woman who has exchanged two words with Ye Zhan is her rival. I’ve merely had a couple of chance encounters with him. You can hold us hostage to threaten him because of his duty.”
Shi Dongliang squinted his eyes, looking half-believingly at Momo.
Her voice wasn’t completely calm.
In fact, you could clearly hear her fear.
He suddenly let out a cold laugh, “I thought you weren’t afraid to die, turns out you are.”
“What’s wrong with being afraid of death? Aren’t you afraid of dying? If you’re not, why are you running? You, who are half buried already, don’t wish to die, so why should I, who am young and not stupid, want to die.”
Momo rolled her eyes, with Ye Zhan present, her fear diminished greatly. Once she started talking, she found it hard to stop.
“Where was I just now?”
Shi Dongliang’s expression darkened, yet he still helped her recall, “You said because of Ye Zhan’s duty.”
“Right, because of his duty, you can use us as hostages to threaten him, but you can’t tarnish my reputation, that wouldn’t be fair to my future husband.”
This time, Shi Dongliang genuinely laughed.
If he wasn’t currently a wanted man, being chased, he would have loved to debate with Momo.
“You have to be alive to get married.”
“Didn’t you capture me to escape? Taking my life doesn’t make sense.”
“Then ask Ye Zhan if he’s willing to facilitate your escape. You said it yourself, you’re not his woman. He might not care about your little life.” Shi Dongliang mocked Momo, while looking at Ye Zhan, who dared not approach.
He suddenly couldn’t quite believe whether Momo was really Ye Zhan’s woman!
