Chapter 1815: Declaring One's Heart in a Time of Crisis

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yong immediately gathered all his brothers and subordinates, raised his arms in a call to action, and charged into Siling Fu.

The secret chamber.

The secret chamber had already been searched thoroughly; they had found it, but could not get out. The inside was controlled by a palm-print lock, and without the code, it was impossible to open.

The two sat back-to-back, motionless; doing anything now was futile.

It was better to save some energy and keep the oxygen from being consumed too quickly, so they could hold on a little longer.

At first, neither of them spoke, but later, as the air grew thinner and thinner and it seemed they would never get out, Qi Shishi finally spoke: "Zirui, do you not care at all about my engagement?"

"I care."

"But you didn't ask a single word, not even one, that would have been nice. The way you act makes me feel like you don't care about me, heh."

"Asking wouldn't change the result, so it's better not to ask. You should know my feelings; there is no need for explanations between us."

"That's right, no need for explanations."

"Tell me, can we still get out of here alive?"

"I don't know, probably not."

"It's quite nice to be able to die with you. I am content."

"I am content, too."

Qi Shishi said: "Zirui, I only have you in my heart. In this life, only you."

Zirui looked into her eyes, his tone also very firm: "Me too, in this life, only you, it can only be you!"

The two interlaced their fingers and lay on the ground, satisfied.

The oxygen in the air was becoming thinner and thinner, and the two felt their brains growing dizzy and heavy, as if they weighed ten thousand pounds.

They were almost unable to think, yet they felt very satisfied.

Even if they died now, it would be nothing; being able to die with the person they loved was also a form of happiness.

——————————————————————————————

At this moment, Wang Yong had already led his men into the courtyard.

Both sides had their guns pointed at each other's heads.

Neither side feared death; a bloody battle seemed unavoidable.

Wang Yong shouted angrily: "Liu Hao, release the people immediately."

Liu Hao feigned ignorance: "I don't understand what you're saying. If you've had too much to drink, go somewhere else to act like a drunkard; you've come to the wrong place."

Wang Yong didn't waste words with him and waved his hand to those behind him.

Soon, Liu Min personally brought over several children.

Others say that brothers fight together and fathers and sons go into battle together, but they, as a husband-and-wife team, were the most perfect combination; they had almost never failed once.

Liu Min had personally led men to capture Liu Hao's women and children from outside.

The children were crying and calling for their father.

"Daddy, save me!"

"Daddy, I'm scared..."

"Daddy, I want to go home..."

Several beautiful women were also crying and begging to be let go.

Liu Hao's eyes turned red. He glared at Liu Min, but cursed at Wang Yong: "Wang Yong, you bastard! If you have the ability, come at me. What kind of skill is it to lay a hand on women and children?"

"Cut the crap, release my nephew."

"Who is your nephew? I don't know him, I haven't seen him."

Liu Hao was clearly playing dumb while knowing the truth.

Trying to muddle through at a time like this was simply a pipe dream!

Wang Yong wouldn't waste words with him and went straight for the kill; he opened a video and handed it to Liu Hao: "Look at this."

On the screen was a video of his parents tied up, with dark gun barrels pointed at them.

"How about it? Are you still planning to play dumb now?"

Liu Hao had a notorious reputation, but he was very filial to his parents. He glared at Wang Yong with scarlet eyes and roared at him: "Bastard, release my parents immediately. I will agree to any condition."

"If my nephew doesn't appear in front of me in ten minutes, today will be their death anniversary. You understand."

"Wait."

Liu Hao returned to the room, so angry that he kicked and broke two chairs in a row.

"Release them."

His subordinate was shocked: "We can't, Commander! If we let them go, will we have any good days left? We'll all be on a dead-end road."

"I told you to release them, why so much nonsense?"

Liu Hao knew Wang Yong's temper; he meant what he said, and he could not let his parents suffer any mishap.

He wouldn't be able to kill Sheng Zirui today; he would deal with that later.

The air grew thinner and thinner; the two in the secret chamber had flushed faces and felt they were about to die soon!

Just then, fresh air poured in, and the two, like thirsty fish returning to the water, breathed in large gulps.

Liu Hao appeared at the doorway with a grim expression, but his words were much more polite: "Come out. I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?"

He tried to reach out to help Qi Shishi, but she dodged him.

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands, get lost!"

"Don't be like this, I am your fiancé."

"I don't have a fiancé like you. Our engagement is cancelled."

Engagement cancelled?

Liu Hao suddenly pulled Qi Shishi into his arms forcefully and told Zirui, "You go; your people are waiting for you outside."

Zirui did not leave, but instead warned him, "Let Shishi go."

"Heh, you're really funny. What qualifications do you have to make me let her go? Sheng Zirui, I warn you, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. If you want to die, I can grant you that wish."

Qi Shishi roared at Zirui, "Hurry and leave, don't worry about me."

"No, if we go, we go together; if we stay, we stay together."

The two of them had just experienced life and death together; he would not leave Qi Shishi behind alone!

Liu Hao was furious; were these two putting on a show of affection right in front of him?

Each of them was disregarding their own life to think of the other, so he was the only villain, right?

If it weren't for his parents being in the hands of Wang Yong, he would really want to kill them both right now.

But now he was wary of the consequences and didn't dare to lay a hand on Sheng Zirui at all.

The few of them were at a stalemate; Liu Hao was determined not to release Qi Shishi, and Zirui insisted on not leaving.

Time was passing second by second, and there were only four minutes left out of the ten.

With his own parents still in the hands of Wang Yong, Liu Hao didn't want to waste words with him.

"Get lost quickly, don't be an eyesore in front of me. I don't want to see you. Don't wait for me to change my mind; by then, even if you want to leave, you won't be able to."

"You let her go, otherwise I won't leave either."

Liu Hao was mad as hell: "Is there something wrong with you? There are plenty of women, and besides, she is no longer your woman, so why must you risk your own life?"

"That is my business. You must let her go. If we go, we go together; if we stay, we stay together."

Zirui was very calm now; he knew that if Liu Hao could make one concession, there could be a second.

Although he didn't know what had happened outside, for Liu Hao to make a concession, he must have been under great pressure.

Zirui's judgment was correct.

Liu Hao was in a very difficult position now.

He was riding a tiger and found it hard to get off.

Outside, however, the countdown shouts had already begun: "Liu Hao, what the hell are you dawdling for? There are only a dozen seconds left until the ten minutes are up. Three, two, one..."

He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "The person is here, I'll send her out to you."
