Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (72)
"Why did you choose to capture me and make me play the game?" Qiann Yan asked Zhang Yunhui, feeling that there must be a reason why these people would capture even ordinary individuals to play their game, especially after the incident with Bai Huai.
Zhang Yunhui, knowing he couldn’t avoid answering, replied honestly, "Actually, it was incidental. My original target was Jing XiYuaan."
This time it was Qiann Yan’s turn to be surprised, "Why?"
"Why else? Boss Jing lost everything the Jing Family had here; his final gamble was his only son, and he lost. So, he was brought in." Someone else chimed in to answer.
Zhang Yunhui did not refute, clearly agreeing with the statement.
"The reason for bringing you all in was also because everyone heard that the four of you grew up together with strong bonds, and they wanted to see how you would perform here. Boss Jing still wanted to win, but he lost again. Even if you all grew up together, there’s no way to avoid betrayal on the Death Game Island."
Witnessing all this, the original host sneered, "So it all started with the Jing Family. What right does Jing XiYuaan have to blame me?"
"System, tell Miss Qiann Yan that I hope Jing XiYuaan will know all this. I’ve changed my mind; I don’t want him dead. Dying would be too easy for him; letting him learn the truth and suffer would be better."
"If Uncle Jing is here, it would be even better for him and Jing XiYuaan to be together," the pale-faced girl laughed. "By Miss Qiann Yan’s plans, none of them are getting out in the end; might as well let Jing XiYuaan and Uncle Jing stay here as a father-and-son duo."
System 666, hearing the girl’s chilly laughter, felt uneasy throughout and quickly relayed the message to Qiann Yan.
Qiann Yan: "Okay."
She also thought that killing Jing XiYuaan was letting him off too easily.
Her gaze landed on Zhang Yunhui’s face, "Is Jing Kun here?"
"He is." Zhang Yunhui glanced toward a corner, where indeed a gray-haired, desolate-looking middle-aged man was crouched. He quickly pulled himself inward, avoiding eye contact.
Bai Huai walked over and roughly dragged the man out.
The man, having changed considerably, was indeed Jing XiYuaan’s father, Jing Kun.
Jing Kun found it hard to face Qiann Yan, mumbling apologies, saying he never meant for this: "Qiann Yan, I just wanted to reclaim the Jing Family, didn’t expect to lose time after time. I kind of regret it now and shouldn’t have used XiYuaan as a bet; I didn’t mean to drag you into this..."
Qiann Yan’s expression remained cold as Jing Kun continued to apologize, tears streaming down his face pitifully.
But Jing Kun realized that no matter how pitiful he seemed, Qiann Yan remained unmoved, causing him to falter in his words.
"Qiann Yan, can you forgive Uncle this once?" Jing Kun asked, feeling deeply anxious inside, "You and XiYuaan were a perfect match made in heaven; it’s all because of..."
"Old man, who are you saying is a match made in heaven?" Bai Huai couldn’t hold back from interjecting, "Are you blind? I’ll give you a chance, quickly reorganize your words."
Jing Kun looked at Qiann Yan, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
They could only watch the happenings on the game field, not focusing on what went on privately between Jing XiYuaan and Qiann Yan elsewhere.
Jing Kun thought they still had a chance.
Now, he wasn’t sure.
Especially seeing this impressive young man acting so jealous, and she seemed in no hurry to stop it.
Jing Kun’s face turned ashen, realizing it was over.
"Old man, have you organized your words?" Bai Huai was extremely angry.
A match made in heaven, does Jing XiYuaan deserve that?
Trash!
