Chapter 465 A Knife to the Neck
While she was in prison, before she was beaten, they would pull her hair every time, but never with the same force as Gong Lian…
After all, he's a man, so it's normal for him to be a little stronger.
It seems she has successfully angered him.
"Did I say something wrong? Mr. Gong seems quite confident, but I didn't expect him to be so sensitive to the truth!" Sang Ruo said bluntly, "Is your mental fortitude really that weak?"
Her voice had barely faded when Gong Lian suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.
"Smack—"
The slap came so suddenly that Sang Ruo was completely stunned, turning her face to the side, her cheek burning with pain.
This slap was much harder than the one Wen Qingyi gave her.
Just then, she tasted a strong flavor of blood in her mouth.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should have made her bleed.
Sang Ruo frowned in pain, staring intently at the man in front of her.
"If you say anything like that to provoke me again, I'll make sure you don't leave this house tonight!"
Gong Lian pointed towards the door, his entire demeanor extremely somber.
Perhaps due to excessive anger, the hand that was gripping her hair was trembling slightly.
Just then, a loud kicking sound came from outside the gate.
At that moment, Sang Ruo's heart leaped into her throat.
Who has arrived?
Did someone come to rescue her?
When this idea popped into my head, my heart was pounding wildly.
Gong Lianye looked nervously at the doorway, a wary glint in his eyes as he stared intently at the entrance.
At the same time, a furious voice suddenly came from outside the gate: "Gong Lian, open the gate immediately!"
When Sang Ruo and Gong Lian heard this voice, a look of shock appeared in their eyes.
Because the person standing outside the door was actually Bo Jinyan.
How did he know you were here?
Gong Lian quickly turned around and looked in Sang Ruo's direction, his surprise deepening.
Sang Ruo curled her thin lips into a mocking smile: "There are some sayings that are very true. You can't hide the truth forever. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Gong Lian angrily pulled the person up, then pulled out a knife from somewhere and held it directly to her neck.
At that moment, Sang Ruo was stunned. She never expected him to pull such a stunt.
At the same time, the door was kicked open from the outside.
As soon as Sang Ruo raised her eyes, she saw Bo Jinyan and Fu Chenqing.
The men who had been guarding the door had already been beaten to the ground.
When Bo Jinyan entered the room and saw the scene inside, he instantly flew into a rage.
Although he was far away, he still noticed that blood was spilling from the corner of Sang Ruo's mouth and her face was very red, which meant that Gong Lian must have hit her.
Moreover, Gong Lian now has a knife to her neck, and is leading her step by step back towards the balcony.
The balcony has no railings, and it would be very dangerous to get too close.
This is the seventeenth floor. If I were to fall, I would definitely die.
Gong Lian suddenly curled his lips into a half-smile, looking at the man in front of him: "Mr. Bo, what brings you here? I don't recall sending anyone to inform you. Your men are in my hands, aren't they? How did you know?"
Sang Ruo was completely imprisoned in Gong Lian's arms, and retreated step by step.
The knife was still held to her neck.
Given the current situation, there is simply no way to completely break free from his grasp.
When Bo Jinyan saw this scene, his heart jumped into his throat, and he felt an unprecedented sense of unease.
Gong Lian is an exceptionally ruthless man, and he made his fortune in the gray market, having done all sorts of shady things behind the scenes, let alone in the current situation.
Perhaps for him, it's already commonplace...
"Release my men immediately!"
Bo Jinyan's eyes were extremely gloomy as he stared straight at him.
The hands placed at either side clenched involuntarily for a moment.
"I already had your brother pass on a message to you that day! I just wanted to see you and have a good chat with you, but you didn't give me the chance. Since that's the case, I had no choice but to use this method to see you, so don't blame me for being too ruthless."
Gong Lian wore a cold smile, his eyes filled with icy intent.
Bo Jinyan shifted his gaze from his face and fixed it on Sang Ruo's face.
He saw a faint fear in Sang Ruo's eyes.
Before they arrived, Sang Ruo must have suffered a lot of injustice. He had to rescue her from Gong Lianlian's clutches as soon as possible. They couldn't keep dragging this out; her strength might not be enough to hold on.
Bo Jinyan subconsciously puffed out his cheeks and gave a cold smile: "You resort to such despicable means against my people just because I don't want to see you. You are as despicable as ever."
His tone was light, but his words were like a thorn, deeply piercing Gong Lian's heart.
The knife he was holding was trembling uncontrollably.
Perhaps due to excessive anger, the knife in his hand involuntarily pressed deeper into Sang Ruo's neck.
A distinct pain instantly spread across Sang Ruo's neck.
She winced slightly in pain, her gaze instinctively shifting from Bo Jinyan to the floor.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the knife in Gong Lian's hand; he clearly had no intention of taking it down.
Sang Ruo's subtle changes in expression had already been noticed by the man opposite her.
His heart tightened for a moment, and he instinctively reached out and pointed in Gong Lian's direction: "I'm giving you one last chance. Let her go right now, or you'll regret it!"
His expression was extremely serious, not like he was joking.
Gong Lian subconsciously twitched his cheeks and said with a half-smile, "It's not impossible for me to release her, but you have to agree to one condition."
They are indeed in a weak position now, and he would agree to Gong Lian's terms no matter what, as long as Sang Ruo is not harmed.
"Fine! I'll give you whatever you want, but you must keep your word and release her immediately after I fulfill my promise."
"You've known me for so many years, don't you understand my character? I've always been a man of my word..." Gong Lian looked at the man's confident expression, a half-smile curving his lips: "Aren't you curious about what conditions I want you to agree to?"
Bo Jinyan bluntly said, "Before I have any patience left, I advise you to speak up!"
His words had barely faded when Gong Lian across from him bluntly stated, "I want you to kneel down before me and apologize properly. Once I'm satisfied, I'll let her go..."
