Chapter 673 Delay
Tong Zhuo snatched the gun from his subordinate and pressed it against Daisy’s head.
“Nanxing, don’t play games with me. I won’t fall for it! Come over here now, or I’ll kill her!”
Daisy shrieked in fright. “Miss, don’t come here!”
She shouted in a trembling voice.
Tong Zhuo raised his hand and hit Daisy’s head with the butt of the gun.
Daisy’s face was immediately covered in blood, but she didn’t make a sound.
My hand grabbed Jing Tian’s arm tightly.
Jing Tian reached out and put his arm around my shoulder.
Tong Zhuo really knew how to grasp my weakness.
No matter what, I couldn’t let an innocent person die for me.
Jing Tian whispered in my ear, “Nanxing, don’t be afraid. Walk over slowly and keep five steps away from him. Negotiate with him and stall him. I won’t let him hurt you!”
I turned my head to look at him, full of gratitude.
Jing Tian cupped my face and kissed it lightly. “I love you! We won’t be separated again!”
I nodded slightly with tears in my eyes and walked toward Tong Zhuo.
I stopped about five steps away from him. “Let them go, and I’ll go with you!”
Tong Zhuo laughed brazenly. “Nanxing, these people are the perfect pieces for me to control you. Why should I let them go? Am I that stupid?”
I glared angrily at this shameless person and was momentarily speechless.
When Tong Zhuo was done laughing, he said, “Nanxing, let’s be frank. My illness is getting worse and worse. For so many years, I’ve relied on the old man’s blood to alleviate it. But I have a solution now, your blood. As long as you come with me and offer me your blood, I will let these people live. Of course, I will not kill you. After all, you’re my best medicine. I am not one to beg, but I will threaten you.”
I wasn’t the slightest bit shocked by Tong Zhuo’s shamelessness. “I don’t understand. You look like a normal person. Why must you say that you’re sick? What are your symptoms? If you share it with me, perhaps I can help cure it? We have Ma Ji’s voodoo. I don’t think your illness will be that hard to cure.” I said casually.
Tong Zhuo’s expression changed as expected. He said coldly, “You don’t have to worry about that! You don’t need to know things that you shouldn’t know!”
I smiled at him without getting angry.
I looked at Daisy and Vincent. “I’m sorry, everyone, for letting you suffer along with
me.”
Vinson said in a trembling voice, “Miss, I’m sorry. We’ve implicated you. Don’t bother about us. Don’t be threatened by this bastard.”
The vice president on the other side said in a trembling voice, “Miss Nanxing, help! Help! We don’t want to die!”
Tong Zhuo sneered. “Do you see that? Nanxing, these are the people you want to save. They are willing to sacrifice your life to save themselves. This is human nature.”
I said proudly, “It doesn’t matter to me. I wasn’t expecting everyone in this world to die for me. Unlike you, I’m not alone. At least my butler is willing to exchange his life for mine. What about you? Will anyone do that for
you?”
Tong Zhuo pursed his lips.
I sneered. “Uncle, are you willing? He’s your son. Aren’t you going to show him your loyalty?” I pointed at Tong Hui.
The muscles on Tong Hui’s tanned and skinny face trembled slightly. “I-I’m Willing!”
He looked at Tong Zhuo longingly.
However, Tong Zhuo said, “Your life is already mine, to begin with. You’d have to die for me if I order it!”
