Yi Jinli was livid when he saw the email. However, they stopped replying after he sent another email.
Ling Yiran said, "I'll go. Hao Yimeng and Xiao Ziqi seem determined to get me there!"
Yi Jinli pressed thin lips together tightly and said nothing. He clearly disagreed with Ling Yiran.
"Jin, I'll take good care of myself, but... Even if you're against this, I have to save Lil Ci. It's the only thing I can do for him as his mother!" Ling Yiran said firmly.
Yi Jinli sighed helplessly. He could never go against her.
"Well, let's make a bet. If something happens to you, I'll follow suit!"
The simple sentence represented his determination. Ling Yiran's heart trembled as she understood what Yi Jinli meant. His life and death would depend on her’s!
Ling Yiran forced herself to sleep that night. Only with adequate sleep could she have more strength and energy to save Lil Ci.
Yi Jinli slowly opened his eyes after Ling Yiran fell asleep. His lips gently fell on her deformed fingers.
"Yiran, who matters most to you right now?"
His question was left unanswered.
...
The place where the transaction was going to take place was on a hill. It had a dense forest and was sparsely populated. The surroundings were vast undeveloped areas.
"Lil Ci!" shouted Ling Yiran. Lil Ci's face was somewhat bruised and swollen. He had obviously been beaten up. "What did you do to Lil Ci? Why is he unconscious?"
"I just gave him two pills so he would sleep. Don't worry, he's not going to die." The woman sounded a little angry when she spoke on the other line of the phone.
The brat did not behave like a normal kid at all. He even hurt her!
Sure enough, a child whom the abnormal Secretary Wang taught was abnormal too!
"Transfer the money right now. As soon as we receive it, you can take him and leave. We're all just taking what we need," the female voice said.
"What the hell did you feed him?" Ling Yiran snapped.
