Chapter 537: Being Rescued 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Even though Li Qiaomeng had thrown caution to the wind, she was still aware that Ye Xiyuan, whom she held hostage, was already weakened.

Continuing this delay would not only forfeit her chance to avenge Ye Lengan but might also lead to her swift return to detention – or worse, straight to prison.

With resolve, Li Qiaomeng turned to Lin Wanqin and exclaimed, “Didn’t you want me to release Ye Xiyuan? Help me take out Ye Lengan, and I’ll let her go.”

Her words stunned everyone; nobody had foreseen this sudden demand from Li Qiaomeng.

Lin Wanqin, amidst tears, stood frozen upon hearing Li Qiaomengs words. She seemed unable to grasp what had just been said.

“Are you not devoted to your daughter?” Li Qiaomengs voice rang loud. “If you want to save her, kill Ye Lengan. Her life depends on it. Otherwise, I’ll end Ye Xiyuan’s life right now.”

The irrational request left Lin Wanqin unsure how to respond. She dared to plead for Ye Xiyuan’s exchange but never for taking a life.

“Have you lost your mind?” Ye Anyun, unable to contain herself, retorted. “Li

Qiaomeng, what’s your game here? We helped you, and you aim to destroy us? How can you be so heartless! I must’ve been blind to be with you.”

Li Qiaomeng felt the pang of her ex-lover’s words. Yet, at this juncture, she saw no way out. ‘Your sister isn’t innocent. If she didn’t intend to exploit me, why help? Don’t sugarcoat it. What do you mean by ‘help’? It’s just a trade.

Enough talk. Make your choice! Ye Xiyuan’s life or Ye Lengan’s. Act now! Ye

Xiyuan won’t last much longer.”

The Ye family stared at Li Qiaomeng, immobilized by the situation. They wanted to save Ye Xiyuan, but killing Ye Lengan here was unthinkable!

Seeing their inaction, Li Qiaomeng grew more agitated. “If you won’t act, it’s on you. I’ll count to ten. No action, and Ye Xiyuan dies.”

No room for thought remained. With time, her agitation surged. Her sole desire now was to end Ye Lengan – making them pay for ruining her life.

“Are you done?” Ye Lengan interrupted Li Qiaomengs tirade. “Did you call me just for this spectacle? I don’t have time for your theatrics. If you’ll act, do it now. Don’t waste more time.”

“Miss Ye!” A police officer disapproved. “Stop provoking her.”

“Ye Lengan, your cruelty!” Lin Wanqin wished to confront Ye Lengan. “Are you trying to kill Xiyuan? Why provoke Li Qiaomeng? Do you want Xiyuan

dead faster?”

“This isn’t my affair,” Ye Lengan retorted coldly. “l don’t possess self-sacrificial virtues. Ye Xiyuan reaps what she sows.”

“Don’t moralize!” Zheng Anyang defended Ye Lengan. “This isn’t her problem.

She’s here, doing her best.”

The tension hung thick in the air..
