Goblin Goblin: Don't flirt, the villain is blackening

Chapter 398: The violent warlords of the Republic of China vs. the wise scholar, the gifted daughter who stayed abroad 57

He sat in the study for three hours while his wife went out alone and kidnapped the enemy's two children.

Si Jinnian was silent for a while and looked at Xuecheng: "What do you think?"

Xue Cheng winced and had a strong desire to survive: "...Third Master, can I tell the truth?"

"explain."

"I don't believe it."

Xue Cheng shook his head.

"You told me that there are no absolute coincidences in the world, and Fan Lingyu and Du Haining are not fools. They are just wandering around in Jincheng openly... In addition, Miss Liu always gives me a very strange feeling."

Si Jinnian: "What does it feel like?"

Xuecheng strives to organize language:

"I always feel like she is wearing the skin of a lady, but after being in contact with her for a long time, I feel like she doesn't have such a temperament."

Things that Si Jinnian had never been able to figure out suddenly became clear after Xuecheng said these words.

She has actually been giving him hints.

Even Xuecheng can see through her disguise, which can only prove one thing——

She didn't want to hide it.

If you think about it carefully, there are traces of many things. How can a real lady of the world be so arrogant that she can feel at ease and let a high-ranking commander peel shrimps for her in front of outsiders?

He originally thought that her coquettishness and anger were sentimental, but now that he thought about it, sentimentality was false, and she could only be true without being virtuous and kind.

As for convincing Yan Zheng and his father, she made the decision on her own without even consulting him. Yan Zheng had already been convinced by her before he arrived in Tangcheng.

Such courage and skill are not what a young lady should have. Most women would probably cry back to the Commander's Mansion as soon as they knew Si Minnan's identity, and let him confront Si Minnan and his son.

After Si Jinnian figured out the whole story, his mood was inevitably a little complicated.

It seems like he really married an ancestor.

The kind who has a deep scheming mind, a sharp wrist, can't cook, and has a bad temper.

………

Now that there were hostages in hand, Quan Jiu was no longer passive. That afternoon, the news that Fan Lingyu and Du Haining had been kidnapped reached Fan Sheng's ears.

Si Jinnian’s request was also very clear——

Two for two.

Surprisingly, Fan Sheng did not agree immediately.

When Quan Jiu heard the news, he laughed angrily:

"Is he crazy? In order to win against Si Jinnian, he even gave up his own daughter?"

Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds, so he would rather die than eat a piece of Si Jinnian's flesh?!

Si Jinnian was not too surprised:

"Fan Sheng has always been like this. In his eyes, power is above all else."

Quan Jiu was a little unsure: "How likely do you think he is to give up on Fan Lingyu?"

Si Jinnian was not optimistic: "80% probability."

Quan Jiu cursed softly.

………

The final result of the negotiations was surprising.

Fan Sheng gave up on Fan Lingyu, but Commander Du actually kept Du Haining.

Commander Du sent someone to look for Si Jinnian, obviously without telling Fan Sheng.

"I have formed an alliance with the Fan family. It is impossible to break up with Fan Sheng. I can only save one person. You make your own choice. When the matter is completed, let my son go. In this way, no one will lose."

When Quan Jiu heard the news, his heart skipped a beat.

It’s not whether they can choose, but whether Kong Manqing and Xu Danbin are willing to leave.

Both of them are very stubborn. When they heard that there was only one chance of survival, they would probably fight to get it first and then give it to the other party.

Quan Jiu had a headache: "Let's save one first and count them all."

She chose Kong Manqing.

Kong Manqing had just recovered from a serious illness and had just recovered. If he had been imprisoned, he would probably fall ill again later.

………

Kong Manqing was sent back to the Si family by Commander Du.

At the same time, Du Haining was also taken back by Du Tong.

Seeing Quan Jiu, Kong Manqing acted very calmly, not as anxious or hysterical as he had imagined.

Quan Jiu sincerely admires Kong Manqing.

Some people may seem weak, but in fact they are stubborn and unyielding. Kong Manqing seems to be extremely weak, but at every critical moment like this, her mental endurance gradually increases.

Quan Jiu couldn't help but sigh: "Being the heroine of a novel really means you have something more than ordinary people."

It's this fate, it's a bit too miserable.

………

Fan Sheng learned that Commander Du secretly put the man back, and the two cursed each other, but the alliance between the two families did not collapse. This was a situation that Commander Du had expected.

If one hostage is released, Fan Sheng will only be angry, but will not fall out with him. If both are released, the situation will probably be different.

Fan Sheng was determined to threaten Si Jinnian.

Because he understands Si Jinnian's horror better than Commander Du.

This man had almost no weaknesses. In the past few months, a fiancée suddenly appeared beside him. It was not that he had never thought of kidnapping Quan Jiu, but this man was stuck in the house and refused to go out, so he had no chance at all.

When he kidnapped Kong Manqing and Xu Danbin, he actually had no hope at all. These two civilians probably wouldn't catch Si Jinnian's attention until the other party kidnapped his daughter...

Fan Sheng's eyes flashed with madness and determination.

He is gambling.

Gambling Quan will care about Kong Manqing and Xu Danbin, while Si Jinnian loves the house and he will also care about the newlyweds.

Everyone thought his idea was crazy and impossible to win, even he himself had no hope.

But he had no choice but to find something to restrain Si Jinnian. This was his only trump card.

………

At eight o'clock that evening.

Fan Sheng's subordinates came to the door with a gift box.

Seeing the gift box, Quan Jiu felt a chill in her heart. Her first reaction was to look around. When she found that Kong Manqing was not around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Jinnian opened the gift box, and what everyone saw was a severed hand.

It's the left hand.

The blood stains haven't dried yet.

The person delivering the message was respectful.

"The leader of my family has said that every hour in the future, some other fresh gifts will be sent to the house. I hope that the third master and Miss Liu will think about it carefully after receiving the gifts and say goodbye."

Quan Jiu raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

According to this dismantling method, Xu Danbin will be completely dead after tonight.

Si Jinnian raised his hand to cover her eyes: "Don't look."

He didn't have any feelings for Xu Danbin, but he knew she cared.

Quan Jiu pulled off his hand without showing any signs of panic or anxiety. She looked at Si Jinnian with dark eyes:

"What do you think?"

Fan Sheng must die.

Si Jinnian lowered his eyes: "The exchange condition offered by Fan Shengkai is that he wants half of the soldiers and power in my hand."

He was actually afraid that she would ask him to agree to Fan Sheng's conditions.

If it really comes to this, he doesn't know if he will agree.

He didn't want to disappoint her, but half the military power would undoubtedly cost him half his life.
