Chapter 1632: Chapter 1632: Her Life and Death Has Nothing to Do With Him
Ji Lingkong said he could help him demand a huge check from the Jun Family in exchange for Jun Yiyi’s life.
Russell was not unshaken, because he couldn’t see through this cold man. Just now, he was so affectionate, but now he was watching Jun Yiyi die with indifference. He wasn’t sure he could really subdue this man.
Moreover, he was not unaware of the backgrounds of the Jun Family and the Hua Family, and the consequences of offending them.
But thinking about his identity being exposed, even if he got a huge fortune, he would still be hunted down by that country. He shuddered all over, his spine chilled, whether horizontally or vertically, death awaited.
Might as well take a risky chance and try it out.
Besides, he really wanted to see if this man could truly be so indifferent. Fighting with someone like this means you have to push the limits.
With a sudden gunshot, Jun Yiyi’s shoulder was hit. She fell to the ground, clutching her wound tightly, as bright red blood gushed uncontrollably through her fingers.
The pain in her shoulder was tremendous, it made the nerves tremble. From childhood to now, she had been pampered and doted upon, with a crowd of people worriedly surrounding her even for a slight abrasion.
This was the first time she was seriously injured, the first time no one was there to comfort her.
Yet she didn’t know where the willpower came from—she gritted her teeth, held the wound, and stubbornly refused to scream in pain.
Because the words he said kept echoing in her mind: whatever the outcome, you have to bear and face it yourself.
She had just boasted in front of him; how could she show weakness? She also had no face to ask him to save her.
This was the path she chose.
After the gunshot, the communicator fell into a deathly silence.
"Stupid girl, scream out!" Russell kicked her hard, trying to force her to scream in pain so Ling Kong could hear.
But Jun Yiyi glared at him with hatred, clenching her teeth so hard that they bled, yet she stubbornly refused to make a sound of pain.
"Stop!" After the dead silence on the communicator, there was an uncontrollable shout of extreme anger.
Russell’s lips curled into a cold smile; it seemed he had indeed bet right.
No matter how cold he acted, he would still feel pain.
He knew he had thoroughly offended this man, and right now, Ji Lingkong probably wished he could kill him with his own hands.
He opened his mouth, forcing Ji Lingkong to hand over the secret design document in exchange for Jun Yiyi’s life.
But Ji Lingkong said he couldn’t, because the design document was confidential, and he didn’t have the sole authority to release it; it had to be approved by his father, Ji Mo. But he offered to exchange himself as a hostage for Jun Yiyi.
Russell thought carefully and agreed; the collaboration was facilitated by Ji Mo and the government, and even if Ji Lingkong really wanted to exchange the design book for Jun Yiyi, Ji Mo might not agree. After all, Jun Yiyi was important to Ji Lingkong, but perhaps not so significant in Ji Mo’s eyes.
But with Ji Lingkong as a hostage, he would surely be a hundred times more important to Ji Mo than Jun Yiyi.
He agreed and demanded that Ji Lingkong take a helicopter to a designated area over the sea to exchange hostages. He had to arrive within half an hour, or he couldn’t guarantee Jun Yiyi’s life or death.
This is what Russell thought: with such a short time frame, Ji Lingkong wouldn’t have time to plan anything.
On his side, there were already people ready to respond, piloting a big ship. As soon as Ji Lingkong landed on the deck, they would immediately subdue him.
"Why are you coming to exchange for me? Didn’t you say not to care about me?" Jun Yiyi shouted into the communicator, her emotions surging.
She really thought he wouldn’t care about her anymore.
A cold and emotionless voice came from the communicator: "Do you think I want to exchange for you? You are Uncle Jun’s child. I took you out without permission. If something happens to you in my hands, it would be my responsibility. The exchange only means I have to take final responsibility for you."
She was stunned, not knowing what she felt inside.
