Chapter 717 The Only Remaining Humanity
Zheng Jun's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ji Qinglin in surprise. "You're very smart. You can even see that."
"So, this is your rule?"
Zheng Jun shook his head, his expression calm, not at all angered by Ji Qinglin. "You don't have to deliberately provoke me. It's not your turn to tell me what to do. Besides, the person who wants me to kill you just wants a result."
"When I send you to another seller, you'll still die. So, the outcome is the same. I can get two paychecks, so why not?"
Ji Qinglin really wanted to give Zheng Jun a thumbs up and say that you know how to do business.
"Drink some water. If you die of thirst on the road, I won't be able to complete my mission." Zheng Jun brought the cup of water to Ji Qinglin's lips again.
This time, Ji Qinglin didn't refuse. He took a small sip to moisten his throat. "You, have a son?"
Zheng Jun's hand holding the water cup trembled, then clenched it tightly and said harshly, "You talk too much! I advise you to say less, otherwise... I don't mind making you speechless forever."
Ji Qinglin's heart trembled, he was indeed frightened.
The Zheng Jun in front of us is a desperate criminal. What can't he do?
She was just thinking of playing the emotional card and using Zheng Jun's son to persuade the other party to let her go.
But now she thought about it, if she really did that, she would probably completely enrage the beast. Judging from the concentration with which Zheng Jun carved the wood, he was quite fond of this son.
Even though she was doing such a cruel thing, she still preserved the last bit of tenderness for her son.
Zheng Jun went back outside and continued carving the wooden doll.
This time, he did not seal Ji Qinglin's mouth, or there was no need to do so.
Ji Qinglin sighed and looked at the surrounding environment. There was really no need for this. This was probably an abandoned village with no one living here. Even if he shouted at the top of his lungs, no one would hear him.
What's more, if she really screamed, Zheng Jun would poison her and make her mute without hesitation.
She didn't dare take this risk.
Ji Qinglin lay down and looked at the bright moon in the sky through the window.
Her heart gradually felt sour, and the figures of Gu Beisheng, Bai Qiong, Luo Luo, Lan Xi, Fang Shiyu... and many relatives and friends kept flashing through her mind.
Tomorrow, Zheng Jun will take her away from Jiangbei. Once they leave Jiangbei, she is afraid that there will be no possibility of returning.
"Bei Sheng, I miss you so much." Tears flashed in the corners of Ji Qinglin's eyes. Perhaps he was too tired, so he fell asleep while looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"Xiao Ji!"
Gu Beisheng woke up in shock, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
He just dreamed that Ji Qinglin was locked in a small, dim room, helplessly calling for help.
He rushed forward desperately, wanting to go in and save people, but no matter how hard he tried, he only got further and further away from Ji Qinglin. There seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them.
Immediately afterwards, a man with his back to him appeared, holding a dagger with a cold glow in his hand, and stabbed it into Ji Qinglin's chest.
At that moment, he felt like the sky was falling and his whole world was collapsing.
"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Secretary Wen heard the noise and rushed over to check, only to find that Gu Beisheng was having a nightmare. "Why don't you go back?"
Gu Beisheng took a deep breath to calm his inner uneasiness and restlessness. "Don't worry about me first, why are you still here?"
