That scene reminded Zhong Nuannuan of the instance when she committed a serious mistake and KE Organization decided to execute her. It was Feng Shengxuan who went up against King in the same manner.
Zhong Nuannuan lost her focus for a brief moment there.
After seeing Zhong Nuannuan, Matchmaker walked over to Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling. She held a gun in each hand and pointed them at the two children’s foreheads. “Whoever you are, get out of KYC Island within five minutes. Otherwise, I’ll shoot them!”
Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling pursed their lips as they looked at the strange masked woman on the screen. They did not speak, nor did they cry for help.
Upon hearing the threat, Zhong Nuannuan laughed.
Even though the upturned corners of her lips were not visible under the mask, Zhong Nuannuan’s charming eyes curved into a pleasant smile, but the words that came out of her mouth were extremely cruel.
“No one can threaten me. The people who threatened me are already dead.”
Matchmaker, “…”
“You said five minutes, right? Alright, I’ll grant you five minutes too. If you send Nangong Xu and Nangong Ling out safely within five minutes, I’ll spare your life. If you dare touch a single hair on them, or refuse to present them obediently after five minutes, you’ll experience how dying can be a luxury too.”
Before Matchmaker could threaten her again, Zhong Nuannuan ended the video call.
She ended… She ended the call…
Matchmaker, “…!!!”
Matchmaker was the one with hostages—she was the one who had the power to give threats!
What the hell was wrong with that woman?!
How could she defy common sense?!
Was she not afraid that they would simply end the children’s lives?
The Organization informed them that they must get their hands on the Nangong family’s fraternal twins, especially Nangong Ling, the girl.
However, the Organization also mentioned that if all else failed, or if there was an irreversible mistake, they could end the children’s lives on the spot.
Why did the woman hang up after getting her message through?
How dare she?!
Matchmaker was about to die from anger. She immediately called back, trying to reconnect with the masked lady through video calls.
However, from the moment Zhong Nuannuan sent the helicopter into KYC Island, all phone reception and internet were no longer associated with members of KE Organization.
Therefore, after many attempts, Matchmaker finally realized that there was something wrong with their reception.
This was simply…
The people inside the room had no idea what was going on outside. They only knew that they made a very powerful enemy—so powerful that even though they had 500 people, their enemy managed to suppress them.
Now that the video call ended and the internet was down, Matchmaker stomped around angrily. She reached out to slap Nangong Ling’s face, but Nangong Xu blocked her and threatened, “That pretty lady just said that if you dare touch a single hair on us, or refuse to send us out in five minutes, you’ll experience how dying can be a luxury too!”
“Shut up!” Matchmaker shouted angrily.
In all of her human-trafficking career, no children had ever threatened her before.
Even so, Matchmaker’s heart was pounding against her ribcage. She lowered her hand and decided to not hit Nangong Ling.
“Go out and take a look at the situation. Don’t get too close. Come back and report to me when you find out what’s going on.”
Although Matchmaker was an aged woman in her fifties, it was obvious that she held a reputable position in this organization.
