Qin Jiang paused his aimless shooting technique, and finally, by virtue of numbers, hit the first of the would-be escapees.
That burly man trying to run was actually different from the other six fans of Qin Shuyun. He was one of the four whom Qin Jiang, after observing, found to have more kidnapping experience than the others.
Unfortunately.
No matter how experienced or vicious these people were.
In the face of truth, everyone is equal.
“Weren’t you trying to run? Why did you stop running?”
Qin Jiang strode with his long legs through the abandoned steelworks, his expression cold, an aura of murderousness and dominance about him, as if he had been reborn.
Everyone present, except for the kidnapper lying on the ground screaming and crying, fell silent like chickens…
“Oh… the leg’s ruined, huh?”
“What should we do about this?”
“Should I say…you’re lucky? I did study medicine, though it’s my first time as a vet. Your injury is easy to fix—just take the bullet out of the bone and you’re fine.”
“Don’t worry, the procedure is simple.”
“Guys, anyone has tools for me to use…”
“Oh no, I mean medical instruments?”
Although Qin Jiang’s pacing was slow, it felt like he was stepping on the tip of everyone’s heart.
Everyone feared that with one slip they might be killed by this madman.
After all, this pretty boy’s state looked… a little overly excited!!
He was supposed to be the victim, so why did it feel like he was more rampant than the kidnappers themselves??
They just stared at him in horror.
What was he trying to do?
Was he the devil himself?
But, since Qin Jiang had spoken, adhering to the internationally friendly standard of “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”.
Someone immediately stepped forward to ingratiate themselves.
That short, monkey-faced fellow named Hou Bo—everyone called him “Brother Hou”—had now smartly defected and was rifling through the abandoned steelworks for tools.
“Master Qin, there’s a bag of discarded tools here—hammers, axes, mallets… everything!!”
Hou Bo was also a professional kidnapper. He and his bros had run small-time operations before.
At worst they’d kidnap one or two naive people for their paymaster to intimidate whoever and take some photos.
To earn a commission.
This time it was also a big job for them—conspiring with a few diehard fans to abduct someone.
They had thought it would be an incredibly simple job.
Who knew? One pretty boy… could make them risk their lives like this?
“Are there pliers?”
Hou Bo rummaged through the bag.
“…Yes.”
“Scissors, nails, mallets… bring them all.”
“Leaving this wound like this is too dangerous. You must immediately cut the leg bone open and pluck the bullet out with pliers…”
Qin Jiang spoke with passionate eloquence, and the burly men in the abandoned steelworks were terrified till their legs went numb.
This guy was the living King of Hell!
Even after entering hell, the King of Hell would have to praise his unprecedented achievements!
But on the surface, they could only put on ingratiating smiles, approach Qin Jiang, and obediently hand over the tools.
“Tsk… this knife is a bit dull.”
“How can this cut open a leg bone? The one who just smashed my ring…”
“You, come over and use your neck to sharpen the blade for me.“
Qin Jiang’s tone was teasing, seemingly casual, but murderous intent had already spread throughout the abandoned steelworks.
That pink diamond ring was a gift for Yanyan~
Yanyan hadn’t even put it on—he had specially chosen it, treasured as a surprise.
And it… was ruined!!
Qin Jiang felt as if his old world was descending into oblivion.
And a whole new world slowly opened its doors to him.
And Young Mistress Yan Liang stood behind that giant door, wearing a red-and-black elaborately elegant gothic lolita dress.
At the moment she saw Qin Jiang, her cold, indifferent eyes stirred into gentle, joyful ripples.
Then the door slowly opened.
Yan Liang opened her arms to him, looking adorably like she wanted him to hug her.
Qin Jiang could no longer stop his steps.
He threw himself forward regardless of everything.
Since his rebirth, being at Yan Liang’s side had been his destination, his home.
Now, since he was to continue staying by Yanyan’s side.
If his Yanyan baby was in the abyss, then he would walk into the abyss toward her.
In short, wherever she was, he would accompany her.
Qin Jiang’s love was action, a day-by-day, month-by-month process of sinking into Yan Liang’s world.
If Yanyan’s world had already lost its light.
Then he would abandon all reason, all light, all justice, the so-called lofty personas of society… and rush toward the rotten, nearly ash-like Yan Liang.
Those things, in his eyes, were far less worthy than even a trace of a smile from Yanyan.
Exclamation marks rang through the heads of the kidnappers.
The kidnappers protested, “Master Qin, are you crazy?! We’re all living people here.”
Qin Jiang tilted his head, then nodded. “Makes sense.”
“Then sharpen it yourselves.”
Qin Jiang spoke calmly, the rationality in his eyes slowly being devoured.
They ruined the dessert cake he bought for Yanyan… unforgivable!
They destroyed the surprise pink diamond ring he had specially prepared for Yanyan… He was going to destroy them all together~
Qin Jiang picked a hammer from the materials bag, weighed it, and looked at the kidnapper who had smashed his ring.
“You! Which hand swung the hammer?”
“Put it out.”
“If you stretch out the wrong one, we’ll do it again~”
Qin Jiang looked mockingly at the trembling kidnapper before him, an involuntary wild pleasure showing in his eyes.
His low, hoarse voice sent shivers down people’s spines, like a black panther hunting that might strike its prey fatally at any moment!
But he insisted on toying with the prey before the attack…
This man was simply too perverse.
The kidnappers screamed for help inwardly, declaring Qin Jiang to be more like a kidnapper than they were.
“Jiang! Jiang!! Don’t be afraid, Fifth Sister is here to save you!!”
Qin Qianyun rushed to the abandoned steelworks after hearing gunshots. She was afraid, but she was brave enough to protect her brother even if terrified.
In her life, she had never done anything praiseworthy for Jiang, her brother.
Instead, she had done countless acts of bullying and favoritism and neglect.
She didn’t deserve to be a sister.
But she truly regretted her mistakes.
She didn’t want her life to be left with regrets. She didn’t want Jiang to be alone and helpless when he fell into peril again.
She wanted Jiang to know that even in a life-or-death situation, at least Fifth Sister would risk everything for him…
With a do-or-die resolve, she charged into the abandoned steelworks.
She only held a discarded rebar she had picked up outside. Rust dirtied her hands.
She wildly brandished the rebar. “I’ll fight you! No one is allowed to bully my brother Jiang…”
Qin Jiang lifted his eyes, just as he was about to bring the hammer down on a kidnapper’s right hand. It paused in midair for a second.
Then it smashed down heavily.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!”
“Help! Save me!!”
Qin Qianyun stood stunned, seeing that the originally kidnapped Qin Jiang indeed had blood on his face—but it wasn’t his own.
At this moment a cruel smile bloomed in his eyes.
His gaze toward her was tinged with chill, as if he had fixed on a new prey like a predator.
Qin Jiang… what’s wrong with him??
Qin Qianyun was bewildered.
She stood there for a while, afraid to act rashly.
Bang!
Another sound of a hammer striking down.
That person screamed again.
“You’re lying.”
“Clearly both hands swung the hammer, yet you want to luck out and pay the price with only one hand… that’s not reasonable.”
“Heh… heh heh heh heh…”
Qin Jiang’s laughter echoed through the empty abandoned steelworks, his smile carrying an uncontrollable madness.
As if a bound demon had finally found the chance to be released…
Everyone was screaming internally.
Qin Qianyun was somewhat afraid, but she also understood that Qin Jiang must have been provoked in the hands of these kidnappers.
This wasn’t Jiang’s fault.
Jiang had never been kidnapped before… no! He had experienced it!!
In fact, he was the one abandoned during the kidnapping.
So that’s why Qin Jiang had become so abnormal now, right?
It was another kidnapping.
That provoked the beast and demon locked in his heart, causing him to gradually head toward collapse, towards ruin…
“Jiang, what’s wrong with you?”
“Don’t scare Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister is begging you… this time no one will abandon Jiang again.”
“I had Eldest Sister call the police, help will arrive soon. Let’s quickly tidy this place up and wait for rescue, okay?“
Qin Qianyun spoke innocently but sincerely. She also feared Qin Jiang would be punished for doing such things to the kidnapper.
She wanted him to continue being the “victim.”
“Tsk, Qin Moyun won’t call the police.”
“Qin Qianyun… get out! You make me sick just to look at you!”
What meaning was there in pretending to be a good person now?
Weren’t they among the Qin family who coldly watched him have his blood drawn and kidney taken back then?
Moreover, Qin Qianyun would be so frightened by his filthy appearance that she’d hide in her father’s arms, saying, “Daddy, Jiang only has one kidney left, how pitiful…”
“Be good, Number Five, although your body compatibility with your brother Yun also passed, Daddy of course can’t bear to see my little daughter suffer.”
“Jiang is your brother. Boys should be the ones to bear the responsibility for the family’s health and happiness…”
“Then Daddy must have Sister Chuchu give Jiang extra anesthesia, I’m afraid he’ll be in pain—although his nature is vile, he is after all…also one of my brothers!”
Qin Jiang lay on the hospital bed, hatred and disgust mingling together.
Qin Qianyun… wasn’t she also one of the executioners?
Just because she didn’t personally raise the knife, did that make her innocent?
