Lu Haotian picked up the syringe and aimed it at his own neck: "My life is right here, and now I can’t be bothered with it. If you want it, take it. Let’s see how you intend to take it. If you release Xia Yangyang, I will go with you, at your mercy. But if you still refuse, then I’ll inject this drug into my neck right now, and by then, you’ll have nothing—neither the drug nor the person you want. It will all be for nothing." With that, Lu Haotian forcefully jabbed the syringe into his neck. A trickle of blood dripped down his neck. "Don’t!" Gong Xue’er stopped him. Gong Xue’er also felt that Lu Haotian now seemed like a desperate fugitive. And Gong Xue’er was even more aware that if Lu Haotian was pushed too hard, there was a fear that he would indeed do such a thing. Xia Yangyang is Lu Haotian’s faith. Over these years, even though Xia Yangyang had become Mrs. Gu, Lu Haotian had never given up. But now, Lu Haotian seemed to have truly given up. This act of letting go was a complete despair for his future. If Lu Haotian was still fixated on Xia Yangyang, then he would still possess some rationale. What is the most terrifying moment for a person? It is when they lose hope. Without hope, there’s no will to live. So Gong Xue’er had every reason to believe that Lu Haotian would kill himself. Gong Xue’er could even feel it. Lu Haotian had no desire to survive; he seemed as if he didn’t want to live. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIＦire.net Gong Xue’er stopped Lu Haotian. Gong Xue’er said, "Lu Haotian, don’t do this. Whatever conditions you have, just state them. As long as I can fulfill them, you always said, all I want is you. I don’t necessarily want Xia Yangyang’s life." Lu Haotian said, "Alright, in that case, I have two conditions." "First, let Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen leave here. Second, give me the remote control in your hand." Gong Xue’er bargained: "How about this: we each take a step back. You come with me to the lab, I will send Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen out. Once they are on the ship and in a safe range, you cooperate with the drug injection. But I can’t give you the remote, however, I can throw it away so you don’t have to worry." Gong Xue’er walked directly to the door and tossed the remote from her pocket outside. The small object cast an arc in the air before finally falling into the outdoor swimming pool. Gong Xue’er returned, smiling: "Haotian, now you can rest assured. You can monitor Xia Yangyang’s departure, but don’t try any tricks on me. If you don’t cooperate, I can kill Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen right now. My patience has its limits." Lu Haotian didn’t want to drive Gong Xue’er to desperation either. After all, Gong Xue’er’s situation was also unique. She was a wanted criminal worldwide. Chinese police and the UK police along with the FBI troop had practically surrounded this island. It’s just that the hostages and the explosives underground were the deterrent. But it couldn’t hold for long. So Gong Xue’er had to act immediately. If delayed, when pushed to extremes, Xia Yangyang and the others might really not make it out. Lu Haotian followed Gong Xue’er to the lab. The lab had a projection wall. What’s being projected now was the scene in the basement. And over there, in the underground water dungeon. Xia Yangyang lay inside a cage, barely alive. She only felt like she didn’t even have the strength to breathe.
