Song Lili’s heart clenched.
"What are you trying to do..."
"Qing Luo, you might as well bind instead of her. Isn’t it that you want? Why go through such a big circle and make such absurd demands?"
Song Lili’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Wen Nian...
"You can threaten by holding my wife hostage, but when it cos to the military affairs of Country G and issues of war stance, I am powerless. The Cabinet has the authority, and without the agreent of the other ministers, I cannot fulfill the conditions you’ve outlined."
Wen Nian spoke very candidly,
"I value my wife, and I would trade my life for her safety without hesitation, but the ministers of country G’s Cabinet will not necessarily let you manipulate them for the sake of a woman."
Song Lili furrowed her brows tightly. Did this Wen Nian... know what he was doing!
"Qing Luo, holding hostage is much more useful than holding my wife."
"Using you in exchange for the military support of Country G does indeed sound more practical than using a woman, but... does President Wen really have that confidence... that your subjects would risk their lives for you?"
"Why wouldn’t they?"
Wen Nian countered.
Qing Luo slightly curled his lips,
"I really don’t know where President Wen gets his confidence from. People in this world are selfish. In the end, everyone lives for themselves. If you, the President, were gone, they would simply have another President. Risk their lives for you? Hehehe..."
Qing Luo was not good at laughing, nor did it suit him.
Whether a sneer or derision, both made people shudder from the core.
Qing Luo’s voice ca from behind Song Lili’s ear, crystal clear. She thought she detected a hint of desolation in Qing Luo’s words.
Was it an illusion?
"So what do you suggest we do?"
Wen Nian spread one hand and raised the gun with the other, aiming it at Qing Luo,
"You kill my wife and then you get killed by ?"
Of course that wasn’t Qing Luo’s intention.
His real target was... Wen Nian.
Since Wen Nian would not agree to his conditions, then...
To present Wen Nian’s head as a gift to the man surnad Bai would surely make him happy enough to dance, right?
"Fine, exchange her."
Qing Luo finished speaking and with a twist of his wrist, dislocated the other hand of Song Lili!
The sound of bones becoming misaligned sent chills down one’s spine!
Song Lili, already drenched in sweat from pain, now had pale lips.
Both hands dangling... The pain from dislocated bones was unbearable for most, but Song Lili just clenched her teeth without uttering a sound!
"I have to be extra cautious with you."
Qing Luo said.
He pushed Song Lili forward a step, but she stubbornly stood her ground,
"I won’t go over there."
"..." Qing Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Wen Nian’s brows also furrowed,
"Ali, be obedient."
"Wen Nian, the person behind won’t let any of us leave this place alive, including you."
Song Lili said earnestly,
"He won’t let the news of the rebel army’s stronghold in the Chuhai Mountains leak."
"Ali, be obedient, co over."
Wen Nian completely ignored what she had said, and repeated himself.
"Kill Qing Luo."
Song Lili looked at Wen Nian, "Don’t worry about , kill him."
It was her mont of hesitation that gave Qing Luo the opportunity; had she been lying on that tree, she would have shot Qing Luo dead with one shot!
"Xiao Lingzi, you co!"
Song Lili stared at Song Yangling with a commanding tone!
"Xiao Lingzi, keep your eyes on Qing Luo, and when Lili cos over, be sure to protect her."
Wen Nian put down the gun and raised his hands, walking towards Qing Luo!
Song Lili instantly beca furious,
"Wen Nian! You back off! Back off! Dare to co over and see what happens!"
