"Stop arguing. No matter what you say, it won't change the fact that I hate you. Don't waste your energy. Before I lose my temper, get out of here!"
Du Zhiming was annoyed to see the two people in front of him suddenly arguing for no apparent reason. This was clearly a disrespect for his existence!
"Both of you shut up!"
He pointed at Su Xuan, "You go there, you're the only one in here, I'm not afraid you'll run away. Go make the call!"
Su Yan stepped aside to block Su Xuan, as if she was about to say something, when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
"I'll be a hostage."
Su Yan turned around in surprise and was stunned to see Yi An standing at the door.
What are you doing here?!
Yi An smiled slightly, "With you here, where can I go?"
He turned to Du Zhiming and said confidently, "Keeping me as a hostage is the safest option."
Du Zhiming thought he looked familiar, squinted for a moment to recognize him, and then suddenly realized who he was.
"You are Yi An of the Yi Group! Su Yan's husband!"
Yi An nodded generously, "I believe you know very well that although Su Yan is the daughter of this family, she has disappeared from this family for more than ten years. She has no feelings for these so-called family members at all, and she even hates them."
"She's only saying this now because she's frightened by the current situation. Once she leaves and thinks things through, she'll realize that their lives or deaths don't matter to her, and you've actually helped her."
He waved his hand, a confident smile on his face.
"But it's different for me. We've only been married a short time and are deeply in love. She loves me to death and wouldn't bear to see me suffer even a hair on my head. If you don't believe me, you can ask her if she loves me or not."
Yi'an acted as if she were vying for first place in some major competition, eagerly promoting herself.
Su Yan immediately shouted, "I don't love him! Don't be fooled by his sweet talk! I'm thinking of divorcing him!"
As Du Zhiming listened to her excited words, his eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, and a cryptic smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Alright, you stay." He pointed at Su Yan. "I'll give you half an hour to prepare 100,000 in cash and a check for 4.9 million. If I don't get the money by the time limit, you know what will happen."
He brandished the lighter in his hand threateningly.
Su Yan gritted her teeth and looked at Yi An, "Why do you always have to make decisions on your own?! I don't like it! I really don't like it!"
Seeing her stomping her feet in anger, Yi An grinned and gave a bitter smile.
"Even if you don't like it, this is the last time. Just bear with it."
Su Yan's pupils constricted sharply. "I'll go get the money right now. Wait for me to redeem you! I have to divorce you!"
No matter what, it couldn't change the loving look in Yi'an's eyes when she looked at her.
He watched her rush away, his lips trembled, and he couldn't help but call out to her.
"Wife."
Su Yan stopped, forced back her tears, and then turned to look at him.
"What are you doing now!" she asked irritably.
Yi An hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there any possibility that you can forgive me in this lifetime?"
His eyes were full of expectation.
Upon hearing these words, Su Yan burst into tears.
"I will tell you this answer in the future, not now."
She gritted her teeth and threatened sharply, "Yi An, you dare to die, just you wait!"
Yi An immediately grinned and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you."
Su Yan rushed out the door, and the first thing she instructed was to have Ye Mei and the others divide the tasks and disperse everyone in the building.
She went downstairs herself and called her secretary, asking them to prepare the money and deliver it within twenty minutes.
Outside, people were rushing about with their own affairs, while inside, Yi An reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Du Zhiming glanced at him and sneered, "Oh, look at this life-or-death farewell, anyone who didn't know better would think it's Titanic! Sure enough, choosing you as a hostage was the right decision."
With all her worries gone, Yi An finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at him intently.
"Du Zhiming, all you want is money. If someone dies, it will be a huge loss."
Du Zhiming: "You don't need to make any threats here. As soon as the money arrives, I'll release you immediately."
Yi An smiled and suddenly strode towards him.
Du Zhiming was stunned for a moment when he saw his actions, then threatenedly pressed down on the lighter.
"Don't come any closer, I really will press it!"
"Since there's money to be made, you wouldn't do something that's not worth the risk."
Yi An stepped forward and easily snatched the lighter from Du Zhiming's hand, playing with it in her palm.
Someone like Du Zhiming, who is cowardly and loves money more than anything, would never actually press the lighter. He was just using it as a threat.
Yi An felt that Su Yan must be quite sensible to understand this matter, but because she had concerns and was afraid that something might happen to the people around her, she dared not take the risk.
But he was different. The people he cherished, his heart, and his life had long since passed away peacefully, and he was not afraid of taking risks.
Now it was Du Zhiming's turn to panic.
"Be careful, it really might explode!"
Yi An tossed the lighter onto the sofa. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. You value your life, and so do I. But can the two of us really stay in this environment for half an hour?"
Du Zhiming frowned as he looked at him.
Yi An walked straight outside. "Let's get some fresh air first. Don't worry, anything that can be solved with money is a small matter."
He turned his head and smiled, "After all, I'm not short of money."
Du Zhiming was deeply insulted by these words.
Why is God so unfair? Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and never have to worry about money in their lives.
No matter how much he puts in, if someone just lifts a finger, all his efforts will vanish like bubbles.
Du Zhiming was unwilling to accept his fate, but he also longed for his future life.
With five million, he could have the same life as them!
Out of the corner of his eye, Yi An saw Du Zhiming move and start walking towards him at the door. He immediately breathed a silent sigh of relief.
But before he could even catch his breath, his phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Yi An quickly turned her head, ignoring Du Zhiming's terrified face, and looked at the phone with its screen lit up.
The moment the phone rang, flames surged forth with destructive force.
Su Yan was anxiously waiting for a call downstairs, surrounded by residents who were unaware of what had happened. They were complaining irritably about why they had been asked to come downstairs.
Su Yan's phone rang at that moment. She answered it immediately, but before she could even say "hello," a deafening explosion suddenly came from behind her.
She froze, her gaze trembling as she turned to look, her eyes filled with nothing but raging flames.
