Chapter 887: Choose One of Two (Updated)
Jiang Chu Nian!
Ruan Munan will never forget the voice of this beast until his death.
He turned around suddenly and looked.
Nearby, beside the artificial lake, a black commercial vehicle lurked like a beast in the darkness, its high beams ferocious and glaring. Jiang Chunian, dressed in black and wearing a peaked cap, stood by the vehicle. He stood at the very edge of the lake, his withered, pale right hand clutching a hemp rope, the other end of which—
They actually tied up the two elders of the Ruan family!
The two elders of the Ruan family were already unconscious. They lay unconscious on the edge of the artificial lake, their legs submerged in the water, only their upper bodies, bound by hemp ropes, exposed.
The other end of the hemp rope was held in Jiang Chunian's hand. If he let go, the two elders of the Ruan family would sink into the icy lake water.
When Ruan Munan saw this scene, his heart almost stopped.
"Don't touch them!" he said hurriedly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chunian's hand holding the hemp rope.
Jiang Chunian was pleased by Ruan Munan's anxious and panicked reaction.
He gently pulled the hemp rope, and the two elders of the Ruan family, whose half bodies were immersed in water, moved twice, and Ruan Munan's pupils shrank tightly.
Jiang Chunian really liked the feeling of controlling other people's life, death and emotions. He grinned morbidly and slowly raised his hand holding the hemp rope.
"Ten years ago, Ruan Qi and I played a game. I placed two children in front of her and asked her to choose who would live and who would die..."
Ruan Munan had already learned from Bai Li everything that Ruan Qi had experienced in Xiaoyao Manor. He had originally thought that after so many days of calming down, he could face these things calmly.
But now - Ruan Munan found out that he was wrong.
When Jiang Chunian recounted Ruan Qi's past suffering in a joyful and enjoyable tone, Ruan Munan felt a strong anger in his heart, and he wanted to tear this man into pieces with his own hands.
He clenched his teeth and looked at Jiang Chunian with a cold gaze.
Jiang Chunian was immersed in the memories of ten years ago.
"We had so much fun playing that game. I loved Ruan Qi's reaction then. She looked so helpless, so desperate, like a baby bird with its neck strangled, barely breathing, yet struggling to survive. It's a shame I haven't had the chance to play with her again in the past ten years... Mr. Ruan, how about you come play with me today?"
Jiang Chunian looked over with a strange smile.
Ruan Munan's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, Jiang Chunian's voice exploded in his ears like thunder.
"Right now, in front of you are your beloved sister and your most respected grandparents. I'll give you three minutes - your sister lives, or your grandparents live. Mr. Ruan, you make the choice."
As Jiang Chunian spoke, he raised his right hand, and the hemp rope in his hand tightened. The bodies of the two elders of the Ruan family who were hanging at the other end also hung above the water.
On the other side, the experimenter who was holding Ruan Qi took out a syringe from somewhere, and put the sharp tip of the needle close to Ruan Qi's neck. With just a slight force, the needle tip would pierce the skin.
The night suddenly became silent.
Ruan Munan's hand had already grabbed Ruan Qi's arm. If Jiang Chunian hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have snatched Ruan Qi back from the experimenter's arms.
But now, looking at the needle tip that could pierce Ruan Qi's skin at any time, and the light pink medicine in the syringe, Ruan Munan didn't dare to move.
He didn't dare to bet Ruan Qi's life on who was faster, himself or the other party.
Ruan Munan's hand froze in mid-air.
"Mr. Ruan," Jiang Chunian's voice sounded again, "I think you should have guessed what's in that syringe—a drug developed by Organization X that can control a person's consciousness and simultaneously develop their potential to the extreme. If something this good were to be injected into Ruan Qi's body, who knows what would happen."
Ruan Munan's expression changed, and his hand, which was frozen in mid-air, slowly dropped down.
Jiang Chunian showed a look of joy on his face.
"Mr. Ruan is indeed a man who knows the current situation. In this case, please be more sensible and make a choice between your sister and your elders."
The night was dead silent.
Because Ruan Munan let go, the experimenter was no longer a threat and he grabbed Ruan Qi and retreated towards Jiang Chunian little by little.
Seeing Ruan Qi getting further and further away from him, Nie Heng angrily cursed: "Jiang Chunian, you despicable villain!"
Jiang Chunian had no interest in Nie Heng and didn't care about his scolding.
He just looked at Ruan Munan happily, slowly counting the seconds that passed by: "Mr. Ruan, one minute has passed. You only have two minutes left to think about it."
The experimenter who was holding Ruan Qi was about to retreat to Jiang Chunian's side.
Nie Heng's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he looked at Ruan Munan helplessly: "Brother Nan..."
Ruan Munan didn't say anything. He stared at Ruan Qi and the two elders of the Ruan family, with veins bulging on his forehead.
One is his beloved sister, and the other is his most respected grandparents. They are both his closest family members, so how should he choose?
Ruan Munan had no choice.
He personally experienced Ruan Qi's pain back then, and his hatred for Jiang Chunian burned like a raging fire.
Time passes by second by second.
Another thirty seconds were about to pass.
Ruan Munan still didn't make a choice.
Jiang Chunian looked at his increasingly tense handsome face, the smile on his lips growing wider and wider: "Mr. Ruan, there is only one and a half minutes left. You have to sacrifice one of Ruan Qi and these two old men."
Ruan Munan clenched his teeth.
He stared at Jiang Chunian intently, and after a moment, he put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to Xixi who was hiding in the woods.
When Xixi saw the gesture, his expression froze and he quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Chunian did not notice Xixi's departure.
His right hand was already raised high, and the hemp rope in his palm could loosen at any time, causing the two elders of the Ruan family to fall into the lake.
The experimenter had already retreated behind Jiang Chunian with Ruan Qi.
Jiang Chunian: "Mr. Ruan, you have forty seconds."
Ruan Munan's forehead was covered with sweat.
He pursed his lips tightly, his heart beating like thunder in his chest, and his eyes occasionally glanced behind Ruan Qi and the experimental person.
"Thirty seconds left."
Jiang Chunian's voice sounded like the prelude to death, causing Ruan Munan to break out in a cold sweat.
"Twenty seconds left."
Nie Heng couldn't wait any longer and raised his foot to rush upwards, but was pulled back by Ruan Munan.
"Brother Nan!" Nie Heng was extremely anxious.
Ruan Munan held him tightly, his eyes fixed on the front.
Suddenly, on the other side of the lake island, a faint red light appeared in the inky night.
The red light flickered in the darkness, and then aimed directly at the back of the head of the experimenter who was holding Ruan Qi.
Ruan Munan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He let go of Nie Heng.
"Nie Heng, save grandpa and grandma!"
As Ruan Munan's voice fell, his figure shot out like a sharp arrow and headed straight for Jiang Chunian.
At the same time, a "bang" sound was heard on the other side of the lake island.
A bullet burst into flames in the night, cutting through the thick ink and whistling towards the back of the experimenter's head!
