"Don't go over there. Say what you have to say here." Gu Qingyan stepped forward, his gaze firmly blocking Xiao Wanqing's path.
"What? Afraid I'll hurt her?" Xiao Wanqing tilted her head and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
"Yes." Gu Qingyan admitted it directly, his eyes fixed on the switch in Xiao Wanqing's hand.
"I won't for now. It wouldn't be fun if they all died." Xiao Wanqing smiled sweetly, as if she were talking about something trivial.
"What do you want to play? I can play with you." Gu Qingyan said coldly. He glanced at everyone and said to Xiao Wanqing, "Release them all."
"Qingyan, you're not in a position to negotiate with me now," Xiao Wanqing said seriously, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"What do you want? Since you're targeting me, I'll stay, and you release them all." Shen Zhi Qiu, standing at the bottom of the stairs, understood what she wanted, and said as she walked down the stairs.
"Autumn is here!"
"no!"
"no!"
"Can't!"
Everyone present unanimously rejected Shen Zhi Qiu's suggestion. Even if Shen Zhi Qiu wasn't pregnant, with so many grown men present, how could they allow a woman to stay behind and face danger?
"Very good, it seems everyone is very loyal!" Xiao Wanqing wasn't too angry, but just smiled and threatened Shen Zhi Qiu, "Shen Zhi Qiu, if you don't come over quickly, I'll detonate another bomb."
Shen Zhi Qiu's brow furrowed, and she quickly walked towards Xiao Wan Qing's direction.
"Wanqing!" Gu Qingyan called out to her helplessly, then tried to grab her arm.
"Don't touch me!" Xiao Wanqing saw through his intention and immediately stopped him, saying with a hint of amusement, "Gu Qingyan, to be honest, I'm starting to get annoyed with you. Apart from your good looks and good family background, you're really useless as a husband. No wonder Shen Zhi Qiu doesn't want you. Tsk tsk tsk, I don't want you either."
Gu Qingyan clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, remaining silent.
Seeing Gu Qingyan remain silent in frustration, Xiao Wanqing became even more smug. "You are not a competent husband at all. Shen Zhi Qiu is really unlucky to have married you."
"Hurry up!" Xiao Wanqing shouted impatiently at Shen Zhi Qiu, who was walking slowly towards her. "Stop dawdling!"
Shen Zhi Qiu's face remained calm and composed, showing no displeasure whatsoever, and she continued walking at her usual pace.
As Shen Zhi Qiu walked up to her, Xiao Wan Qing slowly reached out and touched her stomach, narrowing her eyes: "I've had a child before, but I couldn't keep it. What makes you think you can keep yours?"
"Let go." When Shen Zhi Qiu heard her say that, her expression changed, and she slapped her hand away.
Xiao Wanqing took a step back, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Shen Zhiqiu with amusement. "You may not have realized the situation yet. Everyone here is under my control. If I want you dead, you will die without a doubt." Then she pointed to Shen Zhiqiu's stomach. "Of course, that includes them too."
Seeing Mu Ziqi glaring fiercely at her, Xiao Wanqing laughed, "Auntie, don't glare at me anymore. This is all your and Uncle's fault. If you hadn't forced Qingyan to marry Shen Zhiqi back then, things wouldn't have come to this. If you ask me, you both deserve it!"
Gu Suian reached out and shielded Mu Ziqi behind him, glancing coldly at Xiao Wanqing without saying anything more. At this critical juncture, there was no need for them to fight against a madman.
Seeing that they weren't responding to her, Xiao Wanqing turned her face away, somewhat bored.
"Forget it, you're all like wooden blocks, so boring." Xiao Wanqing curled her lips in disgust, then pointed at Chen Zhi Qiu, "Come here."
Shen Zhi Qiu raised her eyelids slightly and said coldly, "What?"
"You and Gu Qingyan sign the divorce agreement," Xiao Wanqing ordered.
"good!"
"no!"
Shen Zhiqiu, having been eager for this, immediately agreed.
Gu Qingyan, standing to the side, coldly refused without hesitation.
"You have no choice but to agree." Xiao Wanqing's face darkened, and she said irritably, "Go upstairs and print a copy. Don't say you don't have one; I know you do!"
Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, and Shen Zhi Qiu quickly gave him a wink, her eyes showing some anxiety.
He paused for a moment before realizing that there were still people on the third floor! He had completely forgotten.
"Okay." Gu Qingyan agreed in a low voice, walked around the broken phone on the ground, and strode towards the stairs.
"You must come down within ten minutes. Don't even think about running away, or they'll all die." Xiao Wanqing's vicious voice rang out from behind.
Gu Qingyan didn't pay much attention to it. When he passed by his parents, he saw Mu Ziqi's trembling hands and cursed himself a thousand times in his heart.
After stepping onto the first-floor platform, Gu Qingyan rushed towards the third floor in two quick steps.
He rushed to Lin Yunjin's room, quickly turned the doorknob, and slipped inside.
Seeing him burst in, Zhou Xiaoran was startled. Lin Yunjin was about to scream when Gu Qingyan rushed forward and covered her mouth, then whispered, "Miss Zhou, something's happened downstairs. Call the police immediately. Don't make a sound. Xiao Wanqing doesn't know you're upstairs. Otherwise, we'll all die."
"Mom, please don't make any noise, okay?" Gu Qingyan earnestly instructed Lin Yunjin.
Lin Yunjin's eyes widened, and she nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity, so she unconsciously agreed. Gu Qingyan slowly released his hand, and Lin Yunjin quietly watched him.
"There's no time to explain. I have to go. If Xiao Wanqing doesn't see me within ten minutes, she might detonate a bomb." With that, Gu Qingyan rushed out and quietly closed the door.
Five minutes later.
Gu Qingyan appeared at the stairwell with the divorce agreement in her hand.
"Miss Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon! Since I saved you, let's make a deal!"
Suddenly, a deep, steady male voice rang out from the front door.
