CHAPTER 446: CHAPTER 273: ARROW ON THE BOWSTRING 1_2

Qian Zhi Ling’s complexion changed, Bei Ran was telling the truth—Qin Shan had given her the antidote before, but she always needed to return to Qin Shan after a certain period to get more.

Bei Ran knew her guess was right and quickly continued: "He doesn’t have any left either, but I can definitely get some for you!"

Qian Zhi Ling looked at Bei Ran in disbelief, "Why should I believe you?"

"Because I am the woman Gu Qingchen cares about the most!" Bei Ran naturally had her ways.

Qian Zhi Ling still believed this point, "You are lucky to have such a man who cares about you! But why should I trust you?"

"You don’t have to trust me! However, your fate is in your own hands." Bei Ran brainwashed her, "I presume you wouldn’t want your fate to be controlled by an unseen person! What Fang Zimo gave you was just to make you obedient, he didn’t make you do bad things, but him? This person is asking you to kidnap, to commit misdeeds, these are completely different concepts!"

Noticing that Qian Zhi Ling was shaken, Bei Ran pressed on: "You have no idea! He even pushed his own flesh and blood into the fire pit, indifferent to his son’s life or death. They say even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, look at him! Besides, who are you to him? You’re just an expendable pawn in his hands!"

"How do you know all this?" Qian Zhi Ling was uncertain about Qin Shan.

Before Bei Ran could answer, Qin Shan was already standing at the doorway, "Miss Bei, as rumored, you truly have a way with words! Hearing this bit from Miss Bei, I am even more convinced. It’s just too bad..."

Qian Zhi Ling and Bei Ran both looked over, Qin Shan was still wearing a veil, and his voice was processed.

Qin Shan paused slightly and commanded Qian Zhi Ling, "Crawl over here!"

Qian Zhi Ling was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, crawling towards Qin Shan without any dignity, yet having no choice but to do so.

Bei Ran couldn’t see Qin Shan’s expression, but she could feel Qian Zhi Ling’s fear, and a certain resentment deep in Qin Shan’s bones.

Qin Shan then turned to Bei Ran, "Miss Bei, we’ve crossed swords several times! But this time, do you think you’ll still have such good luck?"

"Who do you think you are?" Bei Ran glared sharply at him, "Nothing but an androgynous thing. You blame your failures on others, compare your birth with the happiness of someone else’s family. Qin Shan, even if you kidnap me today, you’re still a defeated subordinate under Qingchen, both in the past and now, you are the most pitiable and androgynous loser!"

"Bantering is Miss Bei’s forte!" Qin Shan wasn’t angry but instead laughed heartily.

Suddenly, at that moment, Tang Baijin let out an angry roar!

"Roar..."

Bei Ran saw that although he was tied up, his body began to turn red, with an uncontrollable power spreading rapidly.

Qin Shan clapped his hands, "The show is about to start! Enjoy it at your leisure!"

He turned around, looking at Qian Zhi Ling kneeling beside him, kicking her away with a foot.

The door was shut, leaving only Bei Ran, Tang Baijin, and Tian Xin in the room.

"Baijin, how are you?" Bei Ran was also immobilized.

Tang Baijin’s face was also flushed red, his eyes bloodshot, "I feel a force inside me, as if it’s about to burst forth. I can’t control this power. Tian Xin, take Bei Ran and go! I don’t want to hurt Bei Ran..."

Tian Xin looked outside, "We’re on a small island, with no boat, how can we leave? Besides, there are bad people out there..."

Tang Baijin still had a trace of sanity and quickly said, "There’s a small emblem where Bei Ran is lying, it looks like a seashell. Press it, and you take Bei Ran and go..."

Bei Ran looked towards the window, "This is Baijin’s house on the island, Baijin, did you design an escape route?"

"Yes!" Tang Baijin nodded, "Hurry and go!"

Originally, when Tang Baijin designed the wooden house on the island, he whimsically incorporated some mechanisms.

However, those mechanisms could also serve as escape routes.

"And you?" Bei Ran looked at him.

He was struggling to bear the pain, his whole body constantly trembling. Bei Ran wasn’t trained in medicine, but she also knew that Qin Shan was inhumane. Whatever he had given Tang Baijin, it had to be potent.

Tang Baijin looked at her intently, "I’ll be fine, Bei Ran. Make sure to take care of yourself..."

That’s when Tian Xin shouted, "Leave together!"

He ran to Tang Baomian’s side. Without time to untie the ropes, he simply dragged him towards the escape route beside Bei Ran.

"Tian Xin, don’t worry about me!" Tang Baijin immediately said, "Take good care of Bei Ran..."

"I said if we’re going, we go together!" Tian Xin cut him off, "We aren’t the kind of people who leave our friends behind! Even if we die, if we’re to die today, then so be it together. Tang Baijin, you’re my best brother, and Bei Ran my best sister. I really have no regrets, but I can’t abandon my brother to save myself!"

"But if I’m with you, I might hurt Bei Ran..." Tang Baijin pushed Tian Xin away with one hand, "Tian Xin, if you really see me as a brother, then take Bei Ran away, get her to Gu Qingchen..."

Some loves do not need thousands of words.

Because it was missed, it was lost.

Even if he is still here, she is no longer.

The beauty of youth fades, and feelings change.

One never needs to question Tang Baijin’s love. His love is real and deep.

But in this world, there is a type of love that is missed.

There’s a classic saying: when you love the right person, it’s romance; when you love the wrong person, it’s youth.

The youth of Bei Ran and Tang Baijin are both recorded in the purest pages of each other’s lives.

Bei Ran finally encounters Gu Qingchen, reigniting the flame of love that illuminates her life with Gu Qingchen’s presence.

While Tang Baijin remains standing still, waiting.

Even if he cannot wait for love, he is unwilling to harm her.

If she is well, then his world is bright!

This kind of love, Bei Ran understands, so does Tian Xin.

Tearfully, Tian Xin looked at him, "Tang Baijin..."

But Tang Baijin used his bound feet to trigger the seashell mechanism, and the plank on which Bei Ran was lying slid down instantly – Bei Ran was the first to fall through...

"Tian Xin, Baijin..." Bei Ran called out.

"She can’t move yet, take good care of her!" Tang Baijin said, "Hurry up!"
