Before Jiang Jingchuan could speak, Ye Nuan gasped, "He...wants to take her away..."

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it.

At this point, Jiang Jingchuan no longer cared that Duan Ye knew.

“Yeah…” Jiang Jingchuan sat down and lit a cigarette. The abandoned building had no windows or anything, so he could see what was happening below. But Jiang Jingchuan was also afraid that someone might snipe him from behind, so he chose to sit in the corner.

"What's the use of you knowing now? My men should have arrived by now."

"To be honest, Duan Ye, you might not like what I'm saying."

"If Luo Qingyuan hadn't been by your side, you would have died on the ship, you know that?"

"You've ruined my home and my wife. The fact that you're still standing here talking to me is a blessing from heaven."

Duan Ye ignored him and just checked the time on his watch.

The doctor ignored him, busy trying to stop the bleeding from Ye Nuan's wound. However, the current medical conditions were too poor, and she needed to receive treatment as soon as possible.

The doctor's gaze fell on Duan Ye.

Duan Ye received the signal, glanced at Ye Nuan, then looked at Jiang Jingchuan. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rumbling sound overhead.

Jiang Jingchuan stood up instantly, his eyes showing surprise.

Duan Ye frowned: "I'm already standing here, and you'll be leaving soon. Ye Nuan has nothing to do with these things, so you can let her go, right?"

Jiang Jingchuan turned around, his face contorted with rage: "I didn't mean to kill her, she just had to court death, so don't blame me."

These words were a blatant declaration to Duan Ye that he intended to drag Ye Nuan down with him.

The doctors were helpless and could only pray that the attackers would break through quickly.

"Hang in there, Miss Ye."

Soon, the helicopter landed on the rooftop.

Jiang Jingchuan had been waiting for this moment. Asking for an off-road vehicle or Duan Ye was all just pretense; what he wanted was a helicopter to bring Luo Qingyuan to his side.

He wanted Duan Ye to be his shield, and he also wanted Luo Qingyuan to never be able to leave his side for the rest of her life.

He has sacrificed so much; someone has to make amends.

What he didn't know was that Duan Ye was also waiting for this moment.

Jiang Jingchuan completely ignored Ye Nuan, who was covered in blood, and walked straight over to her. He grabbed her collar and dragged her upstairs.

Doctor: "Be gentle, I just finished bandaging her wound!"

But soon, the bandage on Ye Nuan's shoulder was stained red with blood again, and this time blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Duan Ye's brows furrowed even deeper, but there was nothing he could do; he had to wait.

The plane's engine kept running, and Duan Ye was forced to follow them to the top floor with a gun pointed at the back of his head.

Doctor: "Mr. Duan, if Miss Ye continues to be tortured like this, she really won't make it."

Duan Ye knew this all too well.

And so, the group went up to the top floor.

On the first floor, Duan Ruijun personally led the team, with Duan Ze directing them via real-time video feed of Duan Ye.

"Now's the time! Charge!"

Soon, a voice came from the intercom.

"Report, the first floor has been taken down; the explosives are indeed fake."

In other words, only the initial bomb was real; the ones buried inside the building were fake...

The information Ye Nuan provided was correct.

Yes, it was Ye Nuan who provided the information, which is why everyone was willing to let Duan Ye go up.

A few hours earlier, before dawn, Ye Nuan and Yang Fan sat facing each other in the interrogation room.

“Let me out, and I’ll figure out their plan. He’ll definitely want to save me and use me to distract Duan Ye, and Duan Ye will definitely come.”

Yang Fan: "Are you that sure?"

Ye Nuan lowered her head and said, "Without me, you will have a very difficult time, and there may even be casualties. But with me, you can avoid losing a single soldier."

"Why should I believe you? Ye Nuan, you've lied to me time and time again."

Ye Nuan smiled, but the smile looked utterly desolate: "I had no choice. I don't want to be controlled by others for the rest of my life."

"Captain Yang, you have no choice either."

Yang Fan thought about it for a long time, until dawn was breaking.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Explosives, the more the better."

——

At that moment, Yang Fan smiled: "Quick! Save them!"

Duan Ze: "Attention! The hostage is on the fourth floor! Repeat! The hostage is on the fourth floor!"

Duan Ruijun moved incredibly fast; even in the darkness, he moved like a cheetah, stealthily leading his men inside.

Rooftop.

The plane's engines were very loud, which provided excellent cover for the police forces on the operation.

No one got off the plane. Jiang Jingchuan dragged Ye Nuan closer and closer. The doctor raised his hands and, at Duan Ye's signal, slowly backed away.

Only Ye Nuan was being dragged along; the pain forced her to regain her senses, and she also clearly saw the confident look on Duan Ye's face.

Ye Nuan forced a smile; it was truly laughable.

Jiang Jingchuan thought everything was under his control, that he could soon live the life he had always dreamed of with the woman he loved, and that everything would be over once he boarded this plane.

Little did she know, Jiang Jingchuan, you had already suffered a crushing defeat, just like Ye Nuan.

What kind of person is Luo Qingyuan? Duan Ye dared to put her below him, which must mean he was ensuring her safety. In Duan Ye's eyes, it seems that everyone can be used as a pawn, including himself, but not his wife.

Ye Nuan still remembers what Yang Fan told her when she suggested using Luo Qingyuan as bait.
