Chapter 404 Threat

Sunshine Orphanage.

Ji Wan's figure was like a fallen leaf in the wind, staggering into the dilapidated gate of the orphanage.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of gasoline, so strong that it was almost suffocating.

Her heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and a huge fear completely drowned her like cold sea water.

"Wanwan." Chi Lin's sinister voice came from not far away, with a creepy sense of pride.

Ji Wan looked up suddenly and saw Chi Lin standing in front of the small building in the center of the orphanage with a twisted smile on his face and a crazy and vicious look in his eyes.

Behind him was a tightly closed door. A faint light and the suppressed crying of children could be seen through the crack of the door.

Ji Wan's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by someone, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

She rushed towards Chi Lin desperately, her voice trembling with fear and anger: "Chi Lin, you lunatic, what on earth do you want to do?"

Chi Lin looked at her, his smile becoming even more sinister, like a devil crawling out of hell: "What do I want to do? Wanwan, you'll soon find out. Don't you love these children the most? Today, I'll let you watch with your own eyes as they die because of you."

Ji Wan's face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained from him.

She stared at the tightly closed door, as if she could see the children's desperate eyes and hear their helpless cries.

"No, Chi Lin. Don't hurt them, they are innocent." Ji Wan's voice was filled with tears, and tears welled up in his eyes.

She begged desperately, trying to stop the madman's violence.

Chi Lin laughed madly, like the roar of a wild beast: "Innocent? Where in this world is there such a thing as innocence? Chi Wenyan has caused me to become what I am now. I want him to have a taste of losing everything. I want to make him suffer for the rest of his life. And you, Ji Wan, are the beginning of all this."

He suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent air. The flame instantly jumped up and leaped, like the grin of the god of death.

"No--" Ji Wan screamed in despair and tried desperately to rush over, but Chi Lin grabbed her hair and pulled her to the ground.

"Wanwan, watch carefully. Watch how I send these little angels to hell." Chi Lin's voice was like a poisoned blade, cutting into Ji Wan's heart again and again. He raised his lighter and walked towards the door.

Ji Wan struggled and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chi Lin, please let them go. If you have anything, come to me. I'll give you whatever you want. Please, let the children go."

Chi Lin paused for a moment. He turned around and looked at Ji Wan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly. A hint of morbid pleasure flashed in his eyes.

"Give me? What can you give me? Your life? Wanwan, your life is not worth mentioning to me. What I want is Chi Wenyan's pain. I want to see him kneeling on the ground begging me. I want to make him live a life worse than death."

He raised the lighter again, the flame dancing at his fingertips, reflecting his distorted face, like a messenger from hell.

At this critical moment, a deafening roar like thunder exploded: "Chi Lin, if you dare to touch them, just try it."

Like a god descending from heaven, Chi Wenyan's figure appeared at the door of the orphanage like a ghost.

He was wearing a black wedding suit, but there was no trace of joy on his face as a groom. His handsome face was filled with terrifying murderous intent, and his deep eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty beast, staring at Chi Lin.

His appearance was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, instantly tearing through the oppressive air and bringing hope of life.

Ji Wan suddenly raised her head, and with tearful eyes she looked at the man who had descended like a god, a huge power surging in her heart.

Chi Lin was startled by the sudden roar and nearly dropped his lighter. He turned around and saw Chi Wenyan rushing towards him like an enraged lion, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Chi Wenyan, you're finally here." A trace of crazy excitement flashed across Chi Lin's face. He grabbed Ji Wan and held her in front of him, and the flame on the lighter moved closer to the door.

"Don't come over here, or I'll set fire to you. I'm going to bury these children and your beloved woman with me." Chi Lin's voice was hoarse and crazy, like the last struggle of a trapped beast.

Chi Wenyan's footsteps suddenly stopped. He stared at Ji Wan who was being held hostage by Chi Lin, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

He saw the fear and despair in Ji Wan's eyes, and also saw the barely perceptible determination deep in her eyes.

"Chi Lin, release Wanwan and the children, and I promise to let you leave here alive." Chi Wenyan's voice was low and cold, like a sentence from hell. He tried hard to suppress his anger and tried to buy time through negotiation.

"Let them go? Chi Wenyan, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Chi Lin laughed crazily. The lighter in his hand was almost sticking to the crack of the door. The smell of gasoline became stronger, almost nauseating.

"I'll count to three, and you'll let him go immediately." Chi Wenyan's voice was as sharp as an ice knife, and every word was filled with chilling murderous intent. "One."

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Chi Wenyan, today, I'm going to let you taste the feeling of loss." Chi Lin shouted wildly, and was about to press the ignition button of the lighter in his hand.

"Two." Chi Wenyan's voice sounded again, with the final warning. His body was tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

Ji Wan looked at Chi Wenyan, tears blurring her vision. She knew that with Chi Wenyan here, she was no longer alone facing this madman. She took a deep breath, used all her strength, and rushed towards Chi Lin.

"Three." Chi Wenyan's roar was deafening, like the earth-shaking war drum. Just as Ji Wan crashed into Chi Lin, he rushed out like an arrow, so fast that his figure was almost invisible.

"Ah--" Chi Lin let out a scream, and the lighter in his hand flew out of his hand, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, Chi Wenyan appeared in front of Chi Lin like a ghost, grabbed his throat, and his fingers like iron clamps instantly cut off all of Chi Lin's shouting.

"Beast." Chi Wenyan's voice was like a judgment from hell. His eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent, and the aura around him was violent and dangerous. He pinched Chi Lin's neck tightly, as if he wanted to crush him completely.
