Chapter 49 Substitution
The blue-eyed boy sneered, without reducing the strength in his hands at all.
The kidnapped girl's pupils revealed hatred and calmness, and her face was still covered with tears.
In order to force Chen Mansheng to hand over the treasure map, Yan Hong killed the servants she brought with her one by one in front of her, killing one person every half a minute.
But the girl still didn't tell him the location of the thing. She only said that she had never heard of what he said and didn't know where it was.
"Let her go. We can talk about what you want. Otherwise, you can't get out." Ling Qingyan spoke coldly, using both kindness and force.
Yan Hong glanced at Chen Chuo, then looked at the girl in front of him.
He chuckled softly, then looked at the beautiful princess in front of him:
"Your Highness Tang Ning, how can you guarantee that if I release her, you will release me?" Yan Hong continued, "Besides, Your Highness has brought so many people to surround my dilapidated temple. I can't escape even if I have wings."
"How do you know my identity?" Ling Qingyan asked.
"It's not hard to guess."
"So what do you want to do?"
"This woman has something I really want, but she refuses to tell me where it is. I am not a patient person. If Your Highness comes a little later, I really want to kill her." Yan Hong did not hide the murderous intent in his words. The blade gleamed fiercely, forming a sharp contrast with the bright red on Chen Mansheng's neck.
Ling Qingyan's heart was lifted.
The person in front of me really wanted to kill.
Isn't he afraid of death?
Yan Hong didn't lie. He really wanted to kill Chen Mansheng. He had been asking her for so long, but she just wouldn't say anything.
If Shen Chuo hadn't asked him to save her life, he would have cut her neck long ago.
"Don't touch my sister!"
Yan Hong looked over.
That guy Shen Chuo is still acting, and his acting skills are as superb as ever.
He had known him for more than ten years and knew that his long-cherished wish was to destroy the Chen Guogong family.
Now that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, Yan Hong thought that after entering the Duke's Mansion, he would take the opportunity to take action against his only remaining sister, and then completely control the Duke's Mansion. Unexpectedly, he let her go. Not only did he not take action, he also played the role of a good brother.
Yan Hong asked Chen Chuo the reason, but he kept silent and used the excuse that it was good to have a relative to deceive her.
We've known each other for so many years, how could he not tell if he was lying and still play these tricks on him?
So he checked.
The result shows that Chen Chuo did not take action against his half-sister in order to get close to Princess Tangning.
It was really strange. Yan Hong couldn't help but be curious about what kind of woman could arouse this person's interest.
He is guarding against me like a thief. He doesn't treat me as a brother at all.
In front of this princess, his acting skills were simply amazing. If he had this ability, he should have been allowed to perform on stage when he was starving and cold. Maybe he could have become a famous actor and lived a life without worries about food and clothing!
The woman under his blade seemed to be very touched by her brother, but she didn't know that it was her good brother who revealed her whereabouts to him.
"Your Highness seems to care about Miss Chen's life?" Yan Hong asked with a smile.
"Of course, if you release Mansheng, I'll promise you gold, silver, and treasures, enough for a lifetime of prosperity." Ling Qingyan said slowly, "You didn't get any useful information from Mansheng anyway, did you?"
The rampant kidnappings are nothing more than a desire for money.
Yan Hong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Your Highness cared so much about this woman. How about this, Your Highness, you become a hostage in exchange for her. I think Your Highness's life should be more valuable."
"Otherwise, it's not impossible to destroy both the good and the bad."
Shen Chuo's eyes were stern, and he looked at Yan Hong with a warning.
Look, you didn’t react so strongly even when your own sister was kidnapped. You are obviously on guard against him.
It's still the same as before. Whenever she comes across something good, she keeps it to herself and hides it from him.
But fortunately he was smart and discovered it himself.
"Your Highness, don't worry about me. He is a madman. He has already killed ten of my servants. If I die here today, it will be Man's own fault. It has nothing to do with Your Highness. There is no need for Your Highness to be a hostage for me." Chen Mansheng said in an intense tone, his chest heaving.
I was afraid that Ling Qingyan would really lose her mind and think too much.
She already owed His Highness enough. For some reason, His Highness was particularly good to her. She was really afraid that Ling Qingyan would do such a thing for her.
"Your Highness is as precious as gold and jade, as bright as the moon. It is a blessing for Mansheng to know His Highness. Even if Mansheng dies, he will be reunited with his family. As long as Your Highness has Mansheng in his heart, that is enough."
Chen Mansheng was stimulated by Yan Hong's words. She was really scared. She was too afraid that the girl would do something stupid for her. She made up her mind and leaned straight towards the blade on her neck!
Yan Hong reacted extremely quickly, and immediately deflected the blade by a few inches, preventing her from committing suicide. Then he knocked Chen Mansheng unconscious with a knife.
He was just trying to scare them, why did he commit suicide?
Before he could finish being shocked, he heard the girl opposite him speak coldly.
"Okay, I'll replace her, and you release the spreading one."
Yan Hong: ...
No, these two people have such a good relationship?
Good enough to die for each other?
He really didn't understand this kind of friendship. After all, he had never been so close to someone before.
He had a pretty good relationship with Shen Chuo. When he was seven years old, he met Shen Chuo, who was also seven years old. They met in a human trafficker's car. Later, they cooperated and both escaped from the clutches of the human traffickers.
It was a coincidence that he and Shen Chuo met. He was the illegitimate son abandoned by the Princess of Liguo, and Shen Chuo was the illegitimate son of the Duke of Chen. The two illegitimate sons became friends when they were seven years old.
He was not living a good life. His mother abandoned him, and he didn't know who his father was. He had no food to eat.
Chen Chuo was not much better off. His mother was dead and his father was in the distant capital. Although he had a grandparents' home, it was worse than having no family. His family regarded him as an unknown person. His elders either beat or scolded him and often did not give him food.
The two of them have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. During these ten years, they have cooperated well. A year ago, they burned Shen Chuo's maternal grandfather's family to death, and no one noticed anything unusual.
However, despite their relationship, they can betray each other at any time. As long as the benefits are big enough, he can take the life of his good brother. The same can be said for Chen Chuo.
So he didn't understand the friendship between the two women in front of him.
Strange, so strange.
Mansheng’s actions just now really scared Ling Qingyan. At that moment, her heart seemed to stop beating and her hands and feet were cold.
Almost, the heroine almost died.
The heroine almost ended up in another form of self-destruction.
Mansheng was too aggressive. Ling Qingyan didn't care about anything else at the moment. She only thought that she had to replace Mansheng quickly.
Yan Hong raised his lips and smiled, "Your Highness is indeed loyal and righteous."
