He opened the door, stepped out of the car, walked over with his legs striding, and planted his hands on his hips in a relaxed posture.
"Why did you call me to this place?" he asked indifferently.
Standing up straight, An Ji took two steps towards him. Now, his height was almost the same as Tang Yuchen’s. They looked at each other indifferently, both emanating an equally formidable aura. freew\ebno\vel..(c)om
He raised his hand, in it a hand grenade aimed straight at Tang Yuchen’s chest: "Return Kangkang to my sister, and I will let you go."
Tang Yuchen looked down at the gun pointed at his chest, his expression unchanged: "What if I don’t agree?"
"You lost to me, I can dispose of you however I want. Do you believe I would shoot you without hesitation?"
"So, do you value your life, or will you hand over the child?"
Tang Yuchen’s lips curled into a faint smile: "Go ahead and shoot."
An Ji’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Don’t think for a second that I won’t dare to."
His words were light and breezy, without a hint of being constrained by the threat.
"I know you dare, I will accept my loss. If you want to shoot, then shoot," Tang Yuchen said, his demeanor calm, seemingly indifferent about his own life or death.
An Ji sneered and lowered his hand, turning to walk back towards the car. After just two steps, he suddenly turned around, the black muzzle pointing at Tang Yuchen without a moment’s hesitation as he pulled the trigger.
"Bang—" A gunshot echoed in the night, then all was quiet again.
Early the next morning, An Ruo got up for breakfast and was preparing to head to her studio. freew\ebno\vel..(c)om
An Ji suddenly stopped her: "Sis, don’t go just yet, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" she asked with a smile.
"Come and sit down," he said, patting the spot beside him.
With a puzzled expression, An Ruo sat next to him and waited for him to continue.
After a few seconds of silence, he said indifferently: "I met with Tang Yuchen last night." f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.com
"Then I injured him."
The thing she had been worried about finally happened; one of them had gotten hurt after all.
However, she misunderstood what he meant by "injured."
"Is it serious? Giving him a beating is not really a big deal." After all, that guy had it coming.
Her reaction made An Ji crack a slight smile, "Sis, I shot him."
An Ruo froze on the spot, his words striking her like a bolt from the blue!
She stared at him with wide eyes, as if unable to grasp the meaning of what he had just said.
An Ji’s smile faded, and he spoke earnestly: "Don’t doubt it, I really did shoot him. But don’t worry, he’s not dead."
"You... how did you get a gun? Where did you get the gun, do you realize that killing is illegal!" she said tremblingly and excitedly, "I thought you were just going to teach him a lesson and let off some steam. I never imagined you would actually shoot him, An Ji... What if you accidentally killed him?"
Just contemplating the potential consequences made her whole body tremble with fear.
Seeing her go pale, An Ji knew he had frightened her.
He quickly grabbed her hand and explained hastily: "Sis, don’t be scared, I didn’t kill him, and I won’t be in trouble."
An Ruo was still in shock.
"His life is not in danger, and he voluntarily let me shoot him. I only called him out yesterday to threaten him, hoping he would return the child to you. He didn’t agree, so I shot him," An Ji clarified.
"No..." An Ruo’s lips trembled as she tried to speak, "I don’t want Kangkang back anymore, I don’t! Don’t do anything foolish over this again, I really don’t want him back!"
