Chapter 2619: Can We Be Selfish Just This Once
He immediately dialed Awei’s number.
"Hello, who is this?" Awei’s puzzled voice came from the other side.
"Awei, listen carefully. Evacuate the Old Master and the others to a secret, safe location right away. Remember, do not disclose this to anyone, act immediately! Otherwise, you’ll all be dead!"
"Boss, what about you and the Missus? How are you both doing?" Awei asked worriedly.
"We’re fine! Remember, I’m entrusting them all to you."
"Yes, even if it costs me my life, I will ensure the safety of the Old Master and the others!"
"Thank you..." It was the first time Ruan Tianling had said thank you to his subordinate.
Awei was stunned—
Before he could react, Ruan Tianling hung up the phone.
Awei inexplicably felt like crying, but he quickly collected himself and took action immediately.
...
Ruan Tianling closed his phone and dialed Cu Haoyan’s number, giving him the same instructions.
However, this time he asked Cu Haoyan to protect Nangong Ruyue and Xiao Zexin.
D City was Cu Haoyan’s territory, with him there, Ruan Tianling wasn’t too worried.
Lastly, he made a call to Sang Li.
In London, Ruan Tianling had several secret bases.
He asked Sang Li to evacuate the people and assets as quickly as possible. Sang Li didn’t ask many questions, hung up, and gave orders to his subordinates.
...
Similarly, Nangong Xu was also on the phone arranging matters.
"Go to A City immediately, capture all the Ruan Family members. If they don’t hand over Xiao Zexin, just blow up the Ruan Family—"
...
Ruan Tianling finished giving all the necessary instructions and only then realized that Jian Yufei and Nangong Yi were staring at him intently.
Jian Yufei stepped forward, raising her little face, "Tell us what to do next, we’ll definitely cooperate."
Ruan Tianling opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Nangong Yi asked calmly, "Can the bomb be defused?"
Ruan Tianling shook his head, "This type of bomb, once activated, can’t be stopped. Trying to defuse it recklessly will only make it explode sooner."
Jian Yufei grabbed his hand, "Don’t we still have the helicopter? Let’s leave by helicopter right now!"
"The helicopter can only fly half the distance... and there’s only one helicopter here."
Jian Yufei’s eyes reddened, "The three of us leaving is enough! Even if it’s only half the distance, let it be half, didn’t Sang Li say he’s coming to pick us up, we can just meet midway!"
Ruan Tianling’s throat moved, his deep eyes fixed on her.
Jian Yufei knew what he was hesitating about, and she spoke harshly, "I don’t care about those maids’ lives, I only care about ours. Ruan Tianling, do you want them to live or me, tell me!"
"..."
"If you’re going to sacrifice yourself for them, then I don’t want to live either! Let’s be selfish this time, okay, we have no choice, we are all acting in self-preservation!"
Nangong Yi gave Jian Yufei a surprised look.
He didn’t expect her to see right through Ruan Tianling’s intentions.
She actually knew what was in Ruan Tianling’s heart.
"Ruan Tianling, I want to go home, I want to go home with you..." Jian Yufei couldn’t hold back her tears.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes flickered, and he spoke hoarsely, "Alright."
"We’ll leave right now, go back right now!"
He took Jian Yufei’s hand and strode toward the shore.
Nangong Yi followed calmly, caring even less about the lives of others.
*******
They arrived at the shore to see twenty or thirty maids standing beside the helicopter.
