Song Zhou looked at Ruan Qi in the eye and felt extremely guilty.
âIâll give you more money. Let both women go!â
âSong Zhou, stop wasting time. You can only save one of them. Your fiancee or your girlfriend.â
The man smiled and pointed at a deep pond where flowers were growing. âIâll count to three. If you still canât decide, Iâll help you.â
âThree.â
âLet my girlfriend, Ruan Qi, go!â Song Zhou roared.
âTsk, tsk, so heartless of you to abandon your fiancee.â
The man tore the tape off Mi Qingâs mouth and said to her, âYouâre such a poor thing. Your fiance is abandoning you.â
Mi Qing sobbed, âJack, let me go. No matter what, I was your girlfriend and weâve been together.â
Jack had no pity in his eyes despite seeing Mi Qingâs pitiful cry. He squeezed her face hard, leaving behind purple finger marks on her cheeks.
âYou and I were just fooling around. You canât bear to part with the glory and wealth that that man gave you. Mi Qing, you asked for everything today!â Mi Qing was in pain from his squeeze. She cried as she tried to back away, tears staining her face.
Since talking to Jack didnât work, Mi Qing begged Song Zhou for help. âSong Zhou, donât. You must save me. Save me. I saved your life once. You owe me your life. You must save me.â
Song Zhou replied hatefully, âYou did save my life. But if you didnât set everything up to trick me, this wouldnât have happened. Mi Qing, you brought this on yourself!â
âJack, you said that youâll would let my girlfriend go. Let her go!â
Jack replied with a smile, âYou want to save this woman? Sure. It depends on Mi Qingâs concurrence.â
Jack said to Mi Qing, âKill this woman and you will live.â
Ruan Qi looked at Mi Qing in shock. When the two of them were tied up, she thought of ways to save Mi Qing when she came to. The two of them had already made it to the balcony. If Jack hadnât rushed back, they would have escaped.
âMi Qing, donât be ungrateful!â
Mi Qing sneered. âWhat ungrateful? I donât know what youâre talking about.â
For the sake of her own life, Mi Qing lunged forward and grabbed Ruan Qiâs neck.
Ruan Qi pushed her away and the two of them started fighting.
âMi Qing, stop!â
Song Zhou got anxious and wanted to go upstairs, but Jack said, âIâm the one who set the rules of the game. I didnât ask you to come upstairs. If you come upstairs, Iâll push them down together. When that happens, youâll only get two corpses!â
âJack, Iâve paid you. If theyâre hurt, donât even think about leaving alive!â
But Jack was fearless. He folded his arms and said condescendingly, âIâm so scared. Why donât you give it a try? See if I can leave after the two of them died?â
For Ruan Qiâs safety, Song Zhou didnât dare to act rashly. He watched as Mi Qing pushed Ruan Qi to the windowsill to throw her out the window.
He was standing quite far from Ruan Qi and there was a pond below the window. He wouldnât be able to Ruan Qi her if she was thrown out.
Jack rushed, âMi Qing, youâd better hurry up. I donât have much patience.â Although Mi Qing had the advantage, Ruan Qi was not weak either. She bit Mi Qingâs arm and pushed her away.
âB*tch, Iâm going to kill you!â
Mi Qing looked at the bite mark on her arm and was furious. She tried to push Ruan Qi off the windowsill again but Ruan Qi kicked her away.
Jack saw that Mi Qing had not succeeded and got very annoyed.
It was time for him to leave. Otherwise, he might not be able to escape when the people following Song Zhou arrived.
Seeing that Mi Qing had been kicked away, he dragged her to the window in disgust.
The woman he had slept with actually thought that she would leave this place alive? The thought of her leaving this place alive to sleep with other men really pissed him off.
With a push of his arm, Mi Qing fell out of the window.
Mi Qingâs survival instinct made her grab Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was already in a very precarious position after she was pushed to the edge of the window. She was caught off guard when Mi Qing grabbed her and fell out the window with her.
âRuan Qi!â Song Zhouâs pupils constricted as he shouted at the top of his lungs. Splat, splat.
Water splashed and both women fell into the pond.
Song Zhou didnât care about anything else and jumped into the water.
Mi Qing felt dizzy after she fell into the water, but when she noticed Song Zhou jumping into the water, she quickly held on to him.
âSong, Song Zhou, save me, save me!â
âGet lost!â Song Zhou roared angrily and wanted to shake her off. He wanted to save Ruan Qi because Ruan Qi didnât know how to swim.
However, Song Zhou was currently Mi Qingâs driftwood. She was so scared that not only did she not let go of him, but she also hugged him tightly and even stepped on Ruan Qi who was sinking.
âSong Zhou, bring me ashore first before you save Ruan Qi. I wonât let go otherwise.â
Unable to shake off Mi Qing, Song Zhou had no choice but to push her ashore before he saved Ruan Qi.
Song Zhou worked quickly because he wanted to get rid of Mi Qing as soon as possible, but Mi Qing clung on to him. She even turned to look at Ruan Qi, who was still in the water, and kicked her again.
She thought to herself, If this b*tch dies, Song Zhou will be hers!
Song Zhou threw her onto the shore, but she hugged him tightly when he turned around. âBrother Song Zhou, Iâm scared, Iâm scared. Donât go. Hold me for a while.â
As long as she clung on to Song Zhou, the woman in the water would drown.
If she turned into a corpse, she couldnât be blamed.
If someone had to be blamed, it could only be Jack who kidnapped them and threw them into the pond!
Song Zhouâs heart burned with anxiety as he looked at Ruan Qi, who was still sinking into the water. When Mi Qing hugged him again, the last bit of pity he had for her was gone.
He slapped her and pushed her away.
âYou saved my life back then, and Iâve repaid you. Mi Qing, enough is enough!â Song Zhou had used all his strength in his slap. Mi Qing felt as if her brain was about to be separated from her neck. Half of her face was numb, and her ears were buzzing.
She lay on the ground for a long time.
In the waterâ¦
Ruan Qi, who had sunk into the pond, was extremely afraid of water. She did not know what to do and was flustered. Just as she wanted to get out of the water, someone kicked her in the heart, and she sank back into the water.
Her mouth, nose, and ears were all filled with water. She wanted to breathe, but water rushed into her lungs.
Her body was out of control, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She reached out to Song Zhou for help, but she couldnât grab him no matter how hard she tried. Then, she saw him push the other woman onto the shore.
Song Zhou, Song Zhou.
Why did he always put the other woman before her?
The despair in her heart was like a demon, devouring her rationality bit by bit.
Was she going to die just like that?
No, she didnât want to die.
She was still so young. She still had a lot of things she wanted to do.
She still had to teach Song Zhou a lesson. This b*stard told her that he would give his life for her, but saved someone else when she was most afraid and dying.
Ruan Qiâs consciousness dissipated bit by bit, like a big rock sinking into the water.
Splash.
The surface of the water was torn apart and a strong force pulled her up.
âRuan Qi, Ruan Qi, wake up!â
Ruan Qi looked at the man in a daze and spat out water. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
âAlright, alright. Itâs my fault letting you get hurt again, Miss Ruan.â Song Zhou hugged her, his hands trembling in fear.
âWhy did you only come now? I thought I was going to die.â
âPtui, ptui, you wonât die.â
Song Zhou carried her ashore and patted her back to make her spit out water. Looking at her bloodshot eyes and pale face, he felt like he had been stabbed in the heart. He held her face and kissed her lips.
Ruan Qi was angry at first and wanted to push him away, but the man was too strong, and she could not escape. She hugged him tightly.
Song Zhou held her tightly in his arms. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse as he said, âMiss Ruan, if anything happens to you, I wonât survive.â
Ruan Qi could not help but burst into tears.
âYou scared me to death.â
âIâm fine. Youâre fine too. Babe, letâs get married today..â
