As the door opened, He Wenfang came into view.
At the same time, the two black-clad thugs beside Tang Mingxi instantly pulled the safety on their pistols, pressing the dark muzzles against his temples.
This is what Ye Heng saw when he got out of the Maybach.
Tang Mingxi's hands were tied behind her back, and her head was down, so her expression could not be seen.
Compared to his clean and tidy clothes, Tang Nuo looked much more disheveled.
His face was not only covered in wounds, but his clothes were also stained with a lot of dirt and mud.
Ye Heng's gaze passed over Tang Nuo and landed on Tang Mingxi's face.
Dark clouds loomed over Azure Luo Bay, Tang Mingxi turned her face away, seemingly wanting to escape Ye Heng's gaze.
" Ye Heng!"
Tang Nuo finally awoke from his coma. The first thing he saw was Ye Heng. He was startled, and his eyes regained some light from their lifelessness. He looked into the distance with hopeful eyes and cried out, " Ye Heng... save me!"
Tears fell to the ground in large drops, like a broken string.
He Wenfang spoke up, "Mrs. Li, the 1 billion in cash has been counted and placed in the trunk. May we let the person out now?"
"Release them?" A slender woman suddenly stepped out of the helicopter. "When did I say that one billion in cash could ransom two people?"
Ye Heng stared at her coldly.
When Li Yuan saw his face, her expression twisted for a moment, almost gritting her teeth. "You and your bitch mother are disgusting cut from the same cloth. Ye Heng, doesn't this scene seem familiar? Twenty years ago, Ye Xingze and I were Chi Yun and hung on the Drum Tower. It was because she was pregnant with this little beast that Ye Xingze abandoned me!"
As she finished speaking, Li Yuan's voice suddenly rose and became shrill.
Why can you live a healthy and long life while my son has to live in the shadows forever?!
Why is it that that bitch Chi Yun can live unscathed while I have to be the one abandoned?!
She laughed, her expression twisted, "So I'll make a deal with you. Ten billion in cash can only buy one life, Young Master Ye."
Li Yuan scoffed with amusement, "Wife or lover, choose one."
"You're crazy," Ye Heng said calmly.
"I'll let you choose!!" The next second, Li Yuan really went crazy, just as he had said.
From the moment Ye Heng appeared, and from the recurrence of the nightmare from twenty years ago, Li Yuan suddenly snatched the gun from the black-clad Bodyguard and fired a vicious shot at Tang Mingxi.
"Bang!"
Tang Mingxi was struck by a sudden misfortune; a bullet grazed his arm, drawing blood.
He slammed heavily onto the ground.
Holy crap?!
This scene wasn't in the script!
Tang Mingxi was shocked.
The next second, Ye Heng couldn't stand still, and a crack finally appeared on his face. "Stop!"
"Who to choose?"
Li Yuan snapped out of her hysterical state for a moment.
The dark muzzle of the gun was first pointed at Tang Nuo, and then slowly pointed at Tang Mingxi.
Li Yuan's smile twisted in a grimace, "Young Master Ye, who do you choose?"
Tang Mingxi began to regret collaborating with Li Yuan.
Help! Have we gotten a real lunatic?
Tang Mingxi's arm wound still throbbed with pain, and her heart pounded in her chest.
Could it be that Li Yuan is taking this too far and actually planning to kill him?
On closer inspection, it's not entirely impossible:)
Little Xi, the harder you try, the more unlucky you get:)
He gritted his teeth and silently broke free of the ropes binding his hands.
As if she could no longer wait for Ye Heng's hesitation, Li Yuan fired a second shot at Tang Nuo.
Without hesitation, the shot pierced through Tang Nuo's shoulder.
Tang Mingxi's eyes widened suddenly as she heard Ye Heng's roar, " Tang Mingxi, that's enough! There's a limit to being willful! Make Li Yuan put down the gun!"
It turned out he knew he had conspired with Li Yuan.
Tang Mingxi was momentarily stunned.
He had probably never seen such an expression on Ye Heng's face before; when he looked at him, his gaze held disappointment, anger, and perhaps even hatred.
Tang Mingxi did not intend to hurt Tang Nuo
of.
He murmured, "I don't know..."
Li Yuan had completely lost her mind. The dark muzzle of her gun was once again pointed at Tang Mingxi, and she screamed hoarsely, "I told you to choose, didn't you hear me?! You little beast, I told you to choose?! Otherwise, I'll kill them all!!"
Ye Heng gave Tang Mingxi a mocking smile, as if to say, "Is there any point in continuing this act?"
There's really no need to hesitate any longer.
Tang Nuo, pale-faced, clutched his shoulder, a pool of blood at his feet, just like Tang Yun that day.
However, it was no longer Tang Mingxi who chose him, but Ye Heng.
The next second, Tang Mingxi heard Ye Heng's voice.
It was as if it were being spoken right in his ear; he heard it clearly, yet wished he hadn't heard it so clearly.
" Tang Nuo, come here."
She didn't even glance at him.
Tang Mingxi didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.
It was somewhat expected, yet also a little painful.
He saw Tang Nuo being held in Ye Heng's arms, leaving him only with a resolute back view.
Tang Mingxi's heart pounded, and a dense, throbbing pain spread throughout her body, before quickly subsiding.
He gazed intently at Ye Heng's retreating figure, then forcefully freed himself from the last loop of rope and slowly took a few steps back.
Ye Heng turned around and saw Tang Mingxi retreating step by step towards the cliff.
He had a bad feeling. " Tang Mingxi, what are you going to do?"
Tang Mingxi's lips moved slightly, and she murmured to herself, " Ye Heng, I can't swim."
The seawater was deep and cold, completely different from the temperature-controlled water in swimming pools.
Actually, he's not that good at swimming.
Ye Heng couldn't describe the emotions he felt when he looked up after settling Tang Nuo and saw Tang Mingxi running towards the edge of the cliff.
Even now, he still believes it was just a capricious joke Tang Mingxi played on him.
Just like how he deliberately sought out Li Yuan to collaborate with, staging a kidnapping himself.
Perhaps it's a way of disgusting oneself, or perhaps it's a different way of leaving oneself.
He said, "Stop playing around, Tang Mingxi. Stop fooling around, Tang Mingxi. It's really boring."
But he never imagined that Tang Mingxi wasn't just joking around; he would die.
The storm brewing in Azure Luo Bay was torn open by lightning, a thunderstorm he feared most.
Tang Mingxi's figure was always slender and graceful. He turned and ran very fast. After falling several times, he resolutely got up again, looking disheveled yet stubborn, and ran towards the deep sea.
Ye Heng finally realized what he was about to do, his body and voice trembling simultaneously. " Tang Mingxi, stop being so willful, stop... Tang Mingxi!!"
Tang Mingxi felt she had never run so fast before.
He shook off Li Yuan, then his Bodyguard, and even Ye Heng couldn't catch up with him.
He stopped at the edge of the cliff and turned to look at Ye Heng, who was running towards him like a madman.
The torrential rain finally fell on Azure Luo Bay. Tang Mingxi felt the rain and tears mingling together. He spoke softly, his voice drifting away in the wind.
"It's really nice to meet you."
Whether it's outside the book or inside the book.
The next second, Tang Mingxi closed her eyes, mustered her courage, and leaped into the air, disappearing like a Butterfly torn apart in a hurricane at the edge of the cliff in Azure Luo Bay.
Before he died, he saw Ye Heng slightly stunned, and then his eyes widened in horror.
Chapter 54 Death Escape (Revised)
The Shanshan storm in Azure Luo Bay suddenly struck.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and large raindrops pelted Ye Heng's face.
