1602: Life on the Line (3)

Life on the Line (3)

- Inside Zhu Lingling's home - 1

Jiang Xiaowei, Zhu Lingling, and Gao Ran all sat on the couch in the living room.

Zhixin opened the door and walked in. He was dressed in an olive windbreaker and seemed to be much taller than before.

"Sister Lingling, Sister Xiaowei, Brother Gao Ran," Zhixin quietly greeted them.

"Zhixin, come sit."

"Zhixin, did you see your brother-in-law?" Zhu Lingling anxiously asked.

"I did."

"How's Qin Chu doing?" Gao Ran asked.

"Brother-in-Law's in a horrible mood, he told me not to worry as he had a way of saving my sister."

"Mr. Qin is going crazy for real… He's not listening to any of us. What are we going to do?" Zhu Lingling was a little distraught.

"Sister Lingling, did Huo Siqian start this murder case?" Zhixin asked.

"Who else could it be? That damn bastard, I want to kill him and chop him up."

Zhu Lingling was enraged upon hearing Huo Siqian's name...

"I know what to do." After speaking, Zhixin turned to leave.

Gao Ran grabbed him immediately...

The pregnant Jiang Xiaowei was tense too and immediately said, "Zhixin, don't do anything stupid. You can't let anything happen to yourself, don't make your sister worry."

"I wanna avenge her, I am going to kill Huo Siqian." Zhixin's eyes were bloodshot.

"Zhixin, now isn't the time to be stubborn. Murder is a crime, and you won't be able to kill him anyways. He's not as weak as you think he is. Right now, we can't think about revenge. Saving your sister is the most important thing right now."

Gao Ran hugged Zhixin tightly, trying to calm him down.

"Gao Ran, I might be young, but I understand everything. My sister is the most important person to me, and I can't just sit and watch these things happen to her. I'm willing to give my life for his, as long as he leaves my sister and brother-in-law alone."

Jing Zhixin did a lot of thinking on the plane ride back to the country, and he was prepared to fight Huo Siqian to the death.

He knew that it was a very irrational decision, but there was no other option.

His brother-in-law and sister all went to jail one after another - Huo Siqian threw a perfectly good family into chaos.

If peace could be achieved with the sacrifice of a person, he would gladly be the one who sacrificed.

"Zhixin... Listen, your sister loves you so much. She doesn't want to see anything happen to you. Gao Ran is right, Huo Siqian isn't an easy target, even your brother-in-law takes several precautions against him… Don't add to the chaos, don't be impulsive and listen to us…" Jiang Xiaowei lectured him.

"Zhixin, does Auntie know what happened?" Zhu Lingling nervously asked.

Zhixin shook his head. "Not yet, but I think she's starting to feel that something's off. She had been asking to speak to my sister lately, and I've been telling her that Mian and Chu were both busy. She bought it, but I can't hide it for long."

"Let's let it be for the time being. We'll hide it for as long as possible. We don't need another person worrying over Mian."

The group comforted Zhixin and finally calmed his fury...

Jiang Xiaowei, Zhu Lingling, and Gao Ran all discussed strategies to save Huo Mian, but all of them were ultimately rejected...

At last, Jiang Xiaowei sighed and said, "It would be so much easier if Mian was pregnant. Expecting women won't be executed and their sentences would be extended for much longer. They can be taken away for medical treatment too…"

"It's not that easy, it didn't happen before, how could it happen now… Anyways, if she was pregnant, shouldn't she know already since inmates get medical exams upon detainment?" Gao Ran added.

The three had no words to say and fell into silence.

- At the headquarters of the Huo Corporation -

"Boss, she's coming."

"Oh really? Did she cross the border yet?" smiling, Huo Siqian asked.

"She did, and she brought two men with her. They flew in from Japan."
