She saw Lin Yue's swollen cheeks, Song Yunxi's trembling body filled with anger, and the increasing number of police officers around them.
"Wanwan, I don't know how many things you've hidden over these long years. I can no longer distinguish between what's true and what's false. I'm utterly disappointed in you."
Meng Wanning closed her eyes in pain, tears streaming down her face. She had said long ago that she was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't get out.
She fought back her tears, turned around, and said to Chen Kun, "Brother Kun, please release Lin Yue. I'll be your hostage."
Chen Kun seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, laughing wildly. He then spat on the ground and cursed, "Have you no shame? What right do you have to be a hostage? Song Yunzheng would love to tear you to pieces. Your being a hostage is a desecration of the word 'hostage'!"
Although Chen Kun's words were harsh, they were all true, each word like a sharp dagger piercing Meng Wanning's heart.
As more and more armed police surrounded the hospital, Chen Kun disregarded his own life and death, tightening his grip on Lin Yue's neck.
"Song Yunzheng! Let Song Yunzheng come out! If he doesn't come, I'll kill his wife right now!"
He was like a madman who had lost his mind, shouting and yelling at the top of his lungs, and the force in his hands kept increasing.
Lin Yue opened her mouth, desperately trying to breathe, but couldn't utter a single word. Her throat was being tightly choked, and she was almost suffocating. Her survival instinct kicked in, and she frantically pounded on Chen Kun's arm with both hands.
However, his arm was as hard as steel, and no matter how she patted it, she could not move him in the slightest.
Time passed second by second, and darkness gradually swallowed the sky. The dark clouds resembled a giant beast with its gaping maw, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone present felt their hearts leap into their throats. Just when all hope seemed lost, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Song Yunzheng rushed in, panting heavily.
Upon seeing Song Yunzheng, Chen Kun's eyes erupted with hatred like molten lava. "You've finally come! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
"Chen Kun, don't hurt her, don't touch her! How much money do you want? I'll give it to you. You want my life? Here you go!" Seeing Lin Yue's face contorted in a rage, Song Yunzheng panicked.
Chen Kun knew he had no way to escape today, so what use was money? He had had enough of the years he had spent on the run, hiding like a stray dog.
He glared at Song Yunzheng with hatred, "Do you want your wife to live? Kneel down! Kneel before my dead brother!"
"No...you can't..." Lin Yue managed to utter, her voice weak as a mosquito's buzz, yet incredibly firm.
She raised her foot and tried to kick Chen Kun's groin, but she couldn't reach it at all and could only kick his calf.
Chen Kun's eyes were cold and piercing, like frost. "You dare to kick me? You're asking for death!"
He grabbed Lin Yue like a chick and pulled her back two steps. With a "thud," Lin Yue's body slammed against the wall. He then lifted her up with force, sending her flying off the ground.
At this moment, Lin Yue could barely speak, and even breathing became extremely difficult. She desperately tried to pry Chen Kun's hand open, kicked wildly with her feet, her cheeks and neck were flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Kneel down! Kneel down and kowtow!"
Chen Kun shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the same time raised his fist, which was as hard as an iron hammer, and slammed it heavily into Lin Yue's stomach.
Lin Yue's originally bloodshot eyes widened instantly, becoming as sharp as copper bells. The excruciating pain in her lower abdomen felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart...
With a thud, Song Yunzheng knelt down on the ground, bent over, and kowtowed heavily.
He didn't care about kneeling and kowtowing. Lin Yue's life was in Chen Kun's hands at this moment, so what could he do?
