Chapter 2585: Chapter 2585: Voluntarily Hand Over the Killer
"Wife, don’t forget, by tomorrow at the latest, he will..."
Jian Yufei’s eyes gleamed slightly: "Will he die immediately?"
Ruan Tianling shook his head: "No, it will take a few more days."
If he dies right away, it will be even harder for them to escape.
Naturally, it’s best to wait until he is incapacitated, to find an opportunity to slip through the cracks.
Jian Yufei was a bit excited, "Great, I hope tomorrow comes quickly..."
...
Jian Yufei and the others were discussing upstairs.
Meanwhile, the ten people downstairs were also in conversation.
They speculated why Nangong Xu had captured them; within moments, they had guessed many possibilities.
They were clamoring to see Nangong Xu, wanting to ask him in person what exactly he intended to do!
"I am Nangong Xu — "
Suddenly, the sound of Nangong Xu’s voice echoed through the castle.
Each floor of the castle was equipped with speakers.
Nangong Xu’s voice transmitted clearly through the speakers to everyone’s ears.
Everyone perked up their ears, listening intently.
"You must be very curious as to why I’ve captured you all?" Nangong Xu began, his tone somewhat indifferent.
"You all know how Ruyue died, right?"
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling exchanged a glance.
Indeed, he captured those people to avenge her mother.
The ten people downstairs were sharp and naturally saw through his intentions.
Nangong Yi slightly lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within them.
Nangong Xu’s voice continued: "Ruyue and my child died with injustice, so I must avenge them..."
"You, the most suspected of killing Ruyue. You have two days to hand over the killer, otherwise..."
Nangong Xu’s voice paused, and everyone’s heart leapt with tension.
"You will die just as Ruyue and my child did!"
Jian Yufei’s eyes widened —
Does he intend to burn them to death?
No wonder he gathered them in a single castle; it’s easier to set it on fire...
"The day after tomorrow, I will come to demand results personally. If there are no results, all will die!"
Nangong Xu finished speaking coldly, then cut off the speakers.
...
Jian Yufei frowned: "What should we do? They can’t possibly find the killer!"
Because there simply isn’t a killer, her mother faked her death.
Ruan Tianling reassured her: "Don’t worry yet, let’s see what tomorrow brings."
Tomorrow, the virus lurking in Nangong Xu will erupt.
But if they can’t figure out a way to save themselves by the day after tomorrow, they will be burned to death.
Jian Yufei, fearing Ruan Tianling might have hesitations, spoke directly to him.
"If there’s really no other way, we should reveal the truth. Our lives are the priority."
Ruan Tianling said deeply: "We probably won’t reach that point. Tomorrow he will be unable to protect himself..."
While the two were discussing quietly, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Ruan Tianling quickly shut his mouth, unsure if the people outside had overheard their conversation.
They probably didn’t hear anything.
If they had, they wouldn’t have interrupted them midway.
"Knock knock knock — "
"It’s Nangong Yi."
The person outside spoke.
Ruan Tianling got up and opened the door.
Nangong Yi stood at the door, speaking calmly: "We’re discussing a plan. Are you interested in joining us?"
Ruan Tianling sneered: "Discussing a plan to escape? Nangong Xu wants the real killer. You guys should be persuading the killer to turn themselves in."
"But everyone claims they’re not the killer."
"Would the killer openly admit they are the killer?!"
Nangong Yi said: "I know that. I’m saying, if no one confesses, we all die."
