CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 288 DEVIL’S DEAL 2_2

Ji Su rushed forward, intending to slap him: "Gu Yucheng, how could you do this? Qingchen is your brother, Bei Ran is my sister, you’re not human, you’re a monster depriving humanity..."

However, before her hand could touch his face, it was grabbed by Gu Yucheng. He pushed her away, causing Ji Su to stagger several steps back.

Ji Su’s eyes, red with tears, stared at him: "I’m going to sue you, Gu Yucheng, just you wait..."

"Sue me for what?" Gu Yucheng lit a cigarette, "I didn’t do anything..."

Yes! He only needed others to do it for him!

Ji Su walked outside, she knew well that mere words were insubstantial, she couldn’t sue for anything, but could she call out for help? Perhaps!

"Do you think the people you call can actually rescue them?" Gu Yucheng sneered, "By the time you get help, they might already be dead!"

Ji Su turned back to look at him, "Gu Yucheng, what exactly do you want?"

Clearly, he uttered such words, and he could save them!

But, what did he want?

Ji Su walked back to him: "Will you call for help?"

"Really that worried?" Gu Yucheng stared at her intently.

"Yes!" Ji Su nodded.

Gu Yucheng’s eyes suddenly turned ice-cold: "Then beg me, if you beg me happily, I will naturally go to save them. Of course, there’s a time limit, as you know. Life and death are unpredictable, it’s merely a race against time..."

Ji Su suddenly felt her whole body turn cold; how could he speak so lightly and dismissively about human lives?

Of course, how could she understand the thoughts of a devil?

Ji Su looked at him, her mind in chaos, feeling that this man was moving further and further away from her. However, this entanglement seemed endless, as if bound by an invisible string.

Her heart grew increasingly chaotic, not knowing what could happen next.

She had promised Bei Ran, she came back to his side to resolve the enmity between him and Gu Qingchen, yet, unwittingly, the enmity intensified and conflicts grew.

How could she let Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen perish in Qiao Mountain?

She couldn’t!

But, should she really beg him?

If others heard about this, even strangers would lend a helping hand!

But him? His heart was cold and unfeeling, still bargaining with conditions!

Ji Su looked at him, tears in her eyes.

He, however, was deeply reticent.

Ji Su knew they could not afford the delay, she dropped to her knees in front of him: "Gu Yucheng, I beg you, please save them, okay..."

Who once promised her a life of peace?

Who once promised to shield her from all storms?

Who once swore to share both joy and sorrow with her?

Ji Su, at this moment, knelt down so humbly before him, from a woman once held dearly in his palm to now a pitiful creature begging at his feet.

Gu Yucheng picked up a glass of wine, gently swirled it, and gazed at her: "Is this the pitiful sight of a dead person you’re using to beg me?"

But, Ji Su really couldn’t laugh!

She had already lost her dignity in front of him, what else was there to lose?

He stripped her dignity bit by bit, eroding her bleeding heart inch by inch.

She raised her eyes to look at him as he looked down at her from above.

Suddenly, Ji Su grabbed the wine glass from his hand and chugged it down, but in her haste, some of the wine spilled on her neck and corners of her lips...

She was unaware of how crazy she looked in that moment, grabbing another wine from the side and pouring it into her mouth. The wine spilled, the red liquid streaming down on her light-color shirt, soaking the front completely...

At this moment, her face, neck, and body were all stained with red wine, and because she drank hastily, her face turned red, no longer as pale as before.

It doesn’t look like a dead person’s complexion now, does it?

She dropped the bottle and walked towards him.

"Please..."

Qiao Mountain.

Gu Qingchen, Bei Ran, and Zhuo Yufeng were trapped below the mountain, but fortunately, there was a huge rock overhead giving them a place to stand.

The spotlights shined around, revealing rocks everywhere, and occasionally land mines and other weapons buried decades ago continued to explode.

"We have to get out of here quickly!" Gu Qingchen brought Bei Ran into his arms, "Yufeng, did you notify the police?"

"No!" Zhuo Yufeng shook his head, "This is a personal action. These few brothers are also part of our team. They know I’m here, no matter what, they would follow..."

He then looked at them: "I’m sorry everyone!"

"Zhuo sir, why speak of this now?" one of them said, "We are a team, we should work together! We are brothers, we share both troubles and joys together!"

"Right, right, right, Zhuo sir..." the others also echoed.

Seeing their camaraderie, Bei Ran was moved, they were truly brothers in life and death!

"Now there’s no signal on any mobile phones!" Bei Ran took out her phone, "We have no chance to call for help from outside, it seems we can only save ourselves!"

Gu Qingchen recalled, "It’s not far from the cave entrance here, and the soil is very soft and moist. If we work together, we can dig our way through..."

"Alright, let’s start..." Zhuo Yufeng began digging with his hands first.

There were no tools in the mountain, and even though they had guns, there was no opportunity to use them. In the end, they had to rely on their hands.

Bei Ran also wanted to dig, but Gu Qingchen stopped her, "Bei Ran, hold the light, keep an eye on the surroundings, and worry about a possible collapse..."

Bei Ran held his large hand, his hands, which should be holding surgical instruments, but now had to dig through the soil...

Gu Qingchen patted her hand lightly, signaling her to be at ease.
