Chapter 928: Final Chapter 5 Chapter 928: Final Chapter 5 After Shi Yuhuan mentioned Shi Annuo’s name, his gaze fixed on Song Qinghuan, his handsome face pale and taut, meeting her eyes. His thin lips parted slightly, and he silently mouthed three wordless syllables.

These three syllables were conveyed to Song Qinghuan, and she understood.

She knew he was saying, “I’m sorry!!”

Song Qinghuan shook her head at him, the response clear. She didn’t blame him; he didn’t need to apologize to her. If he had chosen her and put Shi Annuo in danger, she would have felt uncomfortable instead.

Moreover, she also believed that Shi Yuhuan wouldn’t let her be in danger. He would definitely rescue her safely from the old man’s clutches.

As for this choice, the most shocked was undoubtedly Si Jianan, whose eyes widened in disbelief!

He became completely dumbfounded and then shook violently, so agitated and furious!

“Shi Yuhuan!!” Si Jianan roared through clenched teeth, seething with rage, “How can you do this? Can’t you see that Qinghuan is in danger? How can you choose to save your brother without caring whether she lives or dies? She loves you so much, has suffered so much hardship and endured such torment for you. How can you abandon her?”

Shi Annuo was also stunned, “Bro, let sister-in-law go first, I’m fine!”

Shi Yuhuan appeared calm on the surface, his thin lips tightly pressed as he coldly fixed his gaze on Song Qinghuan, the unfathomable darkness in his eyes, a chill spreading from the top of his head throughout his body, seemingly composed and steady.

But those familiar with him knew that the bloodthirsty crimson rising in the depths of his eyes betrayed all the deeply hidden emotions he harbored.

And of course, only he knew the heart-wrenching pain he was enduring at that moment!

“Shi Yuhuan, do you need to choose again?” The old man sneered, the silver blade in his hand looking frightening, gleaming coldly and bloodthirsty against Song Qinghuan’s neck.

Song Qinghuan tilted her head, surprised at her own calmness, then looked at Shi Annuo, “Annuo, didn’t you hear what your brother said? Hurry over, go now!”

“Sister-in-law! You…” Shi Annuo’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Si Jianan’s face also turned extremely dark, “Qinghuan?”

The heavy darkness in Shi Yuhuan’s deep eyes began to dissipate somewhat.

Like licking blood from a knife edge, he spoke again, feeling as if he had died once, his cold eyes looking at Shi Annuo as he said hoarsely, “Come here now.”

Under Shi Yuhuan’s icy stare, Shi Annuo, pulling Han Qianqian, stepped forward, and at the same time, Si Jianan also left Shi Yuhuan’s side.

The two passed by each other and then stood in the spots where the other had just been.

Shi Yuhuan stepped forward two paces to stand in the front, his pale lips softly saying, “Let’s make another trade now. I will give you all of the Shi Family’s funds, but on the condition that I replace Song Qinghuan as your hostage.”

Next to him, Shi Annuo, Han Qianqian, Xia Yang, and Chen Tian all opened their eyes wide in astonishment, as if no one had expected Shi Yuhuan to make such a decision.

Song Qinghuan nearly lost her footing, her beautiful eyes wide.

“No…” With a threadlike, hoarse voice, Song Qinghuan stared hard at Shi Yuhuan, hot tears the size of beans welling up in her eyes, she shouted loudly, “No!! I don’t want you to exchange, Shi Yuhuan, don’t come over, don’t come over!”

The so-called exchange of funds for a person; everyone knew the likely outcome would be that the old man would take the money and still kill the hostage. This was a reality that no one wanted to believe, but had to acknowledge.
