Chapter 2610: Chapter 2610: Tomorrow, I’ll Let You Go
That’s why Nangong Xu trusted him and entrusted him with everything.
...
As time passed, Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling became increasingly tense.
Both of them felt somewhat uneasy inside.
Because they didn’t know what Nangong Xu would do next.
This was the least sure Ruan Tianling had ever felt in his life.
However, he would not give up. Until the very last moment, he wouldn’t admit defeat.
Jian Yufei suddenly reached out and grasped his hand tightly.
Ruan Tianling turned his head and met her smile.
"What’s wrong?" Ruan Tianling asked with a smile.
Jian Yufei smiled and said, "Nothing, just suddenly feel that this lifetime is worth it."
Ruan Tianling’s eyes paused slightly.
He was about to say something when the closed door was pushed open.
Sunlight poured in from outside, but still couldn’t bring any warmth to this eerie castle.
Instead, the wind blew in from outside, making the castle seem even colder and more sinister.
A few black-clad bodyguards walked up to them, all expressionless: "Come with us."
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling exchanged a glance and rose calmly.
Actually, when the moment truly arrived, it wasn’t as nerve-wracking.
...
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling were brought to Nangong Xu’s study.
Nangong Xu was impeccably dressed, his hair perfectly groomed.
He sat in a comfortable director’s chair, looking at them expressionlessly.
"Boss, the people are here."
"You may leave."
"Yes."
The bodyguards all left, but the door to the study was left open, with many bodyguards standing outside.
Nangong Xu looked at the two people standing before him and smirked coldly: "What kind of poison did you give me?"
Ruan Tianling’s eyes turned cold as he countered with a sneer: "You’re poisoned?"
Nangong Xu cast a sinister look at him.
"At this point, there’s no need for you to hide anything."
"I haven’t hidden anything from you. When I arrived, your men thoroughly searched me. I didn’t bring anything. Even if I wanted to poison you, there’s no poison to administer."
Nangong Xu suddenly chuckled: "We both know very well what Xiao Zexin is capable of. What did he have you poison me with?"
"I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying!" Ruan Tianling stubbornly refused to admit.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in Nangong Xu’s eyes.
"I’ll give you one more chance. What poison did you give me? If you don’t speak, Jian Yufei’s brain will soon burst open."
"I’m not afraid to die!" Jian Yufei said coldly, "Nangong Xu, at this point, we never planned to leave alive!"
"Is that so?" Nangong Xu sneered.
Suddenly, he raised a hand holding a gun—
"Bang—" He fired a shot without hesitation.
The bullet was aimed right at Jian Yufei’s forehead. Luckily, Ruan Tianling reacted quickly and pulled her away.
They managed to dodge it, and Nangong Xu wasn’t angry.
The gun barrel, still smoking, was once again aimed at them.
"How many times can you dodge? The people outside are all waiting to shoot you."
Ruan Tianling knew that Nangong Xu had lost all sense and reason.
He pressed his lips together and said deeply, "The poison in you can only be cured by my father-in-law. If you want to live, you know what to do."
"My lifespan is down to two days, are you kidding me?"
"Actually, it’s not impossible to save you; it mainly depends on whether you agree to let us leave," Ruan Tianling said coldly.
Nangong Xu decisively said, "Tomorrow, I’ll let you go."
Unlike before, neither of them danced the Tai Chi with each other.
