“Ruan Guosheng! Shut up!”
Ruan Guosheng’s words made Madame Ruan finally explode in fury. Ruan Zeyan was her precious grandson and she had watched him grow up. She was an old woman now, and she couldn’t bear to listen to such things.
Wang Yazhi immediately fainted from the shock. Only Ruan Qishan and Ling Tianya were able to control their emotions and remain calm.
Ruan Guosheng looked at Ruan Qishna and then his eyes landed on Ling Tianya, and he nodded his head to compliment her. “Not bad. You are indeed a woman who can hold it together. Ruan Zeyan definitely has an eye for a strong woman.”
Ling Tianya glared at Ruan Guosheng. If he dared to do anything to Tiny Rice Ball, she would fight him with her life.
“He’s only a baby.” Ling Tianya’s voice was icy cold.
Ruan Guosheng nodded. He understood that Ling Tianya was talking about the Tiny Rice Ball. “All children grow up one day. I believe that the child of you and Ruan Zeyan could never be an idiot. If I leave him alive, then wouldn’t it be like leaving a ticking bomb?”
Ling Tianya glared at Ruan Guosheng, her eyes as cold as a blizzard. “Second Uncle, just now, something you said was correct: hold the feudal overlord and you control his vassals. Right now, my son is the feudal lord and your best hostage.”
Ruan Guosheng raised his eyebrows, obviously taking in Ling Tianya’s words.
After observing Ruan Guosheng’s reaction, Ling Tianya continued, “As long Ruan Zeyan’s body cannot be found, you cannot determine whether or not he is still alive. If Ruan Zeyan is still alive, then he will definitely come back to rescue us. If that happens, we would be your best hostages. My son is your most important hostage!”
Ruan Guosheng’s expression began to waver. Ling Tianya continued, “Of course, you can kill him. However, if you kill my son, then I will die too. My son and I the people that are most important to Ruan Zeyan. If we all die and Ruan Zeyan is still alive, then do you think things will be would be smooth sailing just because you took over the Ruan Family?”
Ling Tianya’s voice made Ruan Guosheng think twice. He couldn’t deny that this woman’s words were extremely persuasive. Although Ruan Guosheng believed that Ruan Zeyan couldn’t possibly still be alive after such a powerful explosion; however, his body hadn’t yet been found. Even Du Gang’s body was yet to be found. That was the undeniable truth.
Originally, Ruan Guosheng had been confident. However, after hearing Ling Tianya’s words, he was somewhat swayed. Now, it was a gamble. It was a gamble he could not afford to lose.
Ruan Guosheng wouldn’t give Ruan Qishan and his family the chance to change their luck. However, Ruan Zeyan was still an unstable element.
Although he knew that Ling Tianya’s words were for the sake of saving her family and saving Ruan Mingxiao’s life, her words also struck a chord with him.
Ruan Guosheng suddenly smiled and stared at Ling Tianya. “You sure are a clever and eloquent woman.” Ruan Guosheng looked at Ruan Qishan. “Big brother, you have a good daughter-in-law.”
Ruan Guoshneg waved his hand at the soldier restraining Aunty Wang. “Mike, release them.”
Mike was the head of this KSI group and had been sent over to assist Ruan Guosheng.
Hearing Ruan Guosheng giving him orders, Mike was not happy and glared at Ruan Guosheng. “Remember that I am here to assist you. Don’t order me around in that tone!”
Mike let go of Aunty Wang.
Aunty Wang immediately ran towards Ling Tianya. Ling Tianya took Tiny Rice Ball from Aunty Wang’s arms and it was only when she hugged the child that Ling Tianya was finally able to breathe again.
