Although there was no light in the dark room, Pei Ge easily caught sight of her son.
“Let go of my child!”
She struggled to break free from Ji Ziming’s hold as she moved to rush toward Qiao Jingyun.
The man only ripped her hand tighter, though.
“Don’t act rashly!”
He was deathly afraid that her life would be put in jeopardy.
“Let me go!”
Seeing her son getting strangled by that woman, she was infuriated and anxious.
“Don’t be rash.”
Instead of letting her go, he grabbed her more tightly.
Although he was speaking to her, his eyes were on the woman before them.
Those dark eyes of his were so frighteningly cold that they seemed to have a layer of ice.
“Qiao Jingyun, you can’t escape, so let go of him.”
This simple statement worked more effectively than Pei Ge’s words.
At the very least, the woman’s emotions were easily stirred by him.
“Are you begging me right now?”
She scoffed at him with her eyes full of complacency and excitement.
“I can let go of your son, but only if you beg me on your knees!”
Her words caused everyone to be stunned.
Nobody had expected her to make such a request.
Thus, they were dumbfounded.
“What? Are you unwilling? This is your son!”
Her laughter was oozing with ruthlessness.
“It seems that you don’t love your son as much as I think you do!”
“What on earth do you want?! Don’t you know that you’re looking for your death?! This is illegal!”
Pei Ge could no longer hold it in, and she shouted that at Qiao Jingyun.
If the other had not planted the bombs, she would really want to go forward and teach this woman a lesson!
“Illegal? He he! I’m someone who’s about to die, so why will I care about all those?! Anyway, the moment you all became aware that this ungrateful boy is your son, I knew that I have no way out.”
She knew that the man would never let her off.
The Ji family would not let her off, either.
“So are you going to kneel down or what? Can’t you even do this for the son of the woman you love?”
Pei Ge was infuriated when the woman forced them into a corner.
While she wanted to save her son, she did not want to see the man being tortured.
This man had never been treated like this before!
He had probably never bowed down to anyone, and now this woman…
“Tsk, tsk, tsk!” Qiao Jingyun curled the corners of her lips as she strangled the boy more tightly.
“Hey, little guy, these are your parents! They actually can’t be bothered with your life! Ha ha! Why do you think you have such parents?!”
Pei Ge’s face did not look too well as she listened to the woman’s words.
However, before she could say anything, the man spoke softly, “…I’ll kneel.”
“Ziming!”
