“Jiäng Zhe?”
Her voice was not loud, but it rang out in this quiet room.
The people standing on both sides heard her voice, and turned to look at the man sitting behind the table.
The man was wearing a black suit and clean leather shoes. At this moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, looking at Lu Ning, who was kneeling there, She only called his name, and then she did not speak or move. It was as if she did not dare do anything.
Jiäng Zhe looked down at her from above.
Time passed bit by bit, but Lu Ning still did not hear anything else. There was still only the sound of the wind.
She trembled subconsciously. The cold wind coming from outside was really cold.
Lu Ning knelt there and could not hear any answer, nor could she hear anything else. She did not dare to act rashly.
She tilted her head, as if she heard something different.
The sensitivity of his ears seemed to have slowly increased when she could not see anything.
That sound… Flowing water?
There’s a river here?
Lu Ning frowned. She really could not think of a residential area near a river in A City.
Lu Ning clenched her fists. The strap on her wrists was hurting her.
If they won’t say anything, then I can only take the initiative here.
I’ve already been here for a while, but that man still hasn’t said anything. He should be in this room.
Lu Ning did not know if he was in front, behind, or just beside her.
Lu Ning pursed her lips and said directly, “Jiäng Zhe, I know what you want to do. They’re all innocent, let them go. If it’s somebody’s life you want, you can take mine.’
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell silent again.
About ten seconds later, laughter suddenly came from the room.
The man’s laughter was a little muffled, almost half-snorting, as if Lu Ning had said something funny.
Lu Ning frowned. His voice came from right in front of her.
He was laughing, his deep voice knocking against her eardrums.
He still did not seem ready to speak.
Lu Ning could not take it anymore and suddenly stood up. Her movements were too fast, and the people around her only reacted when she had already rushed over.
She stood up and bumped straight ahead. Her stomach hit the edge of the table and her entire body keeled over. If her hands had not been tied, she would have reached out and grabbed Jiäng Zhe’s neck.
“I’ll do whatever it is you want, no matter what you want! I’ll even give you my life! But what right do you have to involve so many people?! They’re all innocent! Jiäng Zhe! You can’t treat these people like this!”
Someone grabbed her shoulder and threw her backward. She stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
Lu Ning knew that she could not be more anxious than the others at a time like this, but she could not help but feel that way. She was afraid that Jiäng Zhe would have everyone die with him.
I’ll do anything! Just, don’t implicate so many people!
They’ve done nothing wrong!
Lu Ning bit her lip to stop herself from crying.
She was about to blurt those out when she heard Jiäng Zhe’s voice.
“Innocent?”
Startled, she turned to follow the voice.
“The moment my grandfather died, no one is innocent! Everyone should be buried with him!”
His voice was ruthless and emotionless.
Lu Nings scalp went numb. She should have known. She should have known that this person was irredeemably twisted!
He had no humanity to speak of!
There was no way he would let go of the people he had kidnapped.
After all, his goal was to make everyone die with Old Master Jiäng..
