Chapter 602: The Three-Minute Choice

"White Wolf!!!"

Li Xiao gritted his teeth hard, and a taste of blood spread in his mouth.

White Wolf, however, merely raised his hand to check the time.

"I'll give you three minutes. If you can't choose, then both of you will be thrown down together."

He looked somewhat smug, watching the grim-faced Li Xiao and Li Beijue, and deliberately shook his watch.

"Timing—starts now."

The air seemed to go quiet in an instant.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang looked at Li Xiao and Li Beijue at the same time.

Panic was evident in the depths of their eyes.

Both of them had heard the words just now clearly.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth, calmly tapping his watch face continuously to transmit the information he wanted to convey.

Li Beijue was likewise silent, merely staring fixedly in the direction of Jiang Baobao.

The two men seemed to have no need for words, having already understood everything the other wanted to convey.

"Mmph! Mmph-mmph!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly began to struggle frantically.

Jiang Baobao tried hard to turn her head to glance at her, only to see that her tears had already been streaming down.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes were wide open, trying hard to look at Jiang Baobao, while repeatedly tossing her chin toward the direction of Li Xiao.

She had already made her decision.

Baobao had finally managed to be with Li Beijue, and she still had three lovely children; she absolutely could not lose her life here!

If someone had to die today...

Then let it be herself!

It was just that...

She hadn't even had the chance to confess to Li Xiao yet...

She turned her head to look at Li Xiao, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Cai Xiaotang felt a dull ache in her heart; although she was so nervous that her whole body was trembling slightly, she did not change her mind in the slightest.

Jiang Baobao understood her meaning in an instant and also began to struggle frantically.

No...

Xiao Tang could not die here!

If she died, what face would she have to continue living?

She had finally found her own happiness, with Li Xiao cherishing and loving her... they would even have their own children in the future...

She had already possessed all of this happiness.

It was just Mobai, Yanbao... and the three little ones like Tiantian...

Thinking of the lovely children, Jiang Baobao could not help but let tears roll down.

But if she had to live the rest of her life in the guilt of sacrificing Xiao Tang, then she would rather die herself!

She turned her head to look in the direction of Li Beijue, blinked at him gently, her eyes filled with a sense of relief.

Perhaps her life was destined to be a bit more tortuous...

After missing Li Beijue for so long, it was fortunate that they had finally ended up together.

Although it was somewhat brief, she was already very content.

"Have you decided yet? One last minute."

White Wolf watched the show from the side, not forgetting to speak up as a reminder.

Li Beijue and Li Xiao had been silent for a full two minutes, neither of them having spoken.

Finally—Li Xiao felt his watch face vibrate gently.

He recited the message sent by his subordinates in his heart and let out a small sigh of relief.

"Beijue, save Baobao."

Li Xiao suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue was startled; he looked at Li Xiao with some confusion, his eyes filled with inner conflict.

Of course he wanted to save Jiang Baobao.

But he also did not want to sacrifice Cai Xiaotang directly like this.

If he really made that choice, Baobao would never be able to live in peace for the rest of her life!

But he could not watch his beloved woman die with his own eyes!

"Mmph! No... mmph!"

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Jiang Baobao instantly began to struggle frantically.

Cai Xiaotang's tears also instantly came more fiercely, and her fingernails dug hard into her palms, but she quieted down.

Right...

Thinking this way was right.

Baobao was implicated in this.

As for herself...

She would just accept her bad luck.

Who told her to fall for such a dangerous person as Li Xiao?

Cai Xiaotang's vision was blurred by tears, yet she tried hard to look in the direction of Li Xiao, her eyes filled with reluctance.

What a pity...

If she had known today was the last day of her life, she would have confessed to him sooner.

If she weren't being gagged right now, she would definitely shout "I love you" to Li Xiao at the top of her lungs.

"Last thirty seconds..."

White Wolf's leisurely voice sounded once again.

Li Beijue suddenly looked at Li Xiao earnestly and whispered: "Save Cai Xiaotang; Baobao might still have a chance later..."

"Beijue."

Li Xiao looked at Li Beijue disapprovingly.

Li Beijue, however, was surprisingly calm: "It takes them time to act, too. At worst, I'll go into the sea to accompany Baobao. If we really meet with an accident, then I'll leave Yanbao and the others to you..."

He already had a plan in his heart.

Li Xiao had arranged for manpower and would never watch this group of people take action.

He still had a chance to save Baobao!

"Ten..."

"Nine..."

"Eight..."

White Wolf had already begun the countdown.

Li Xiao's watch also transmitted a light vibration once again.

Li Beijue looked toward Jiang Baobao and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"Release Jiang Baobao."

Li Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"Li Xiao!!!"

Li Beijue looked at Li Xiao in disbelief.

Just as it was impossible for him to watch Jiang Baobao face danger, he knew that Li Xiao naturally wouldn't be willing to part with Cai Xiaotang either.

But...

"No need to say more. This time I owe you; Baobao must be safe."

Li Xiao gave Li Beijue a deep look and narrowed his eyes calmly.

Li Beijue instantly sensed something and had no choice but to suppress all his words back into his heart.

"Clap! Clap!"

White Wolf suddenly began to clap.

"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of being Asura. Under these circumstances, you can actually sacrifice your own kin for the sake of righteousness, and even abandon the woman you love...

Tell me, you lost the goods today, and you lost your woman, isn't this what they call... losing the lady and the soldiers? Hahahaha..."

White Wolf laughed until he was out of breath, and while speaking, he waved his hand, actually having people turn the crane holding Jiang Baobao back and slowly lowering it toward the ground.

"Mmph! Mmph!"

Jiang Baobao widened her eyes, struggling to lift her gaze to look in Cai Xiaotang's direction.

No!

If she left, what would happen to Xiao Tang?

Cai Xiaotang looked down at Jiang Baobao, who had already landed on the ground, and her heart finally settled back into place.

Thank goodness... they kept their promise and released Baobao...

This way, even if she became a ghost, she could be at peace...

"Alright, go."

Jiang Baobao still had ropes tied around her body and could only be shoved forward wretchedly by others, unable to even turn her head to look at Cai Xiaotang one more time.

Two men sent her directly to a spot a few steps away from Li Beijue.

Li Beijue immediately lunged forward two steps and pulled her into his embrace.

"Baobao..."

His face was full of the lingering fear of having lost and regained her; he hurriedly reached out to remove the cloth gagging her mouth and went to untie the ropes on her hands.

"Xiao Tang! Li Xiao! Save Xiao Tang!"

Jiang Baobao looked anxiously at Li Xiao, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a "click" sound from the crane behind her!

She turned around abruptly, her breathing freezing in an instant...

"Xiao Tang!!!"
