Chapter 2498: Chapter 2498: He’d Better Stay Alive

Nangong Xu remained unfazed, merely sneering with disdain, not saying a word.

"Drive!" he ordered the driver coldly.

The car started and quickly left—

Junqi picked up the phone from the ground and ran after the car for a while.

"Junqi!" Ansel’s voice came from behind.

Junqi turned, seeing his brother leading a girl over.

"Junqi, where’s Mom?" Ansel asked puzzledly, "Why are you alone?"

"Mom..." Junqi pointed in the direction of the car.

But the car was already gone, and there was no sign of any car ahead.

...

Nangong Xu remained calm, and Jian Yufei breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, he hadn’t heard what Ruan Tianling said.

Otherwise, he would know her mother was still alive.

The thing is, why is Mom giving birth now? Wasn’t there one more week?

Jian Yufei slightly clenched her fists; at this moment, she couldn’t let Nangong Xu know her mother was alive no matter what.

Otherwise, he’d definitely try to take her away.

Of course, if Nangong Xu wanted to kill her, she’d reveal the truth without hesitation.

Using his child to save her own life.

As the car drove out of the amusement park, Jian Yufei coldly asked, "Where exactly are you taking me?"

Nangong Xu removed the mask from his face, revealing his deep features.

He toyed with the mask, glancing at her with cold eyes: "Where is Xiao Zexin?"

Jian Yufei was filled with caution!

"Why are you asking that?!"

"Is he dead?" Nangong Xu stared at her intently.

Jian Yufei was very afraid he’d harm her father.

"My dad is mentally unstable now, he’s recuperating in a secret place, you’ll never find him in your lifetime!"

"So he’s not dead, huh?" Nangong Xu smirked as if he wasn’t angry.

Jian Yufei threatened him: "If you dare harm my dad, I’ll gladly take you down with me right now!"

Nangong Xu let out another snort—

"I won’t harm him, it’d be best if he stays alive."

"..." Was she hearing things correctly?

Nangong Xu wants her father to stay alive.

Wasn’t he eager to kill him?

"Nangong Xu, what exactly are you up to?!"

"Take a guess?" Nangong Xu chuckled playfully.

Right now, he seemed off, but Yufei couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

She only hoped Ansel realized she was missing and contacted Ruan Tianling to rescue her.

She could’ve called for help earlier, but it wasn’t the right time.

She couldn’t expose that her mom was still alive...

"Are you trying to use me to lure out Ruan Tianling and harm him?" That was the only possibility she could think of. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Use you? If I took King, wouldn’t the odds be even better?"

Indeed, if his target was to deal with Ruan Tianling.

Taking both her and Junqi would be more leverage.

Jian Yufei couldn’t read him anymore.

"So what exactly are you going to do?!"

Nangong Xu stared ahead, casually resting one leg.

He didn’t answer her question, seeming lost in thought.

Jian Yufei, seeing he wasn’t responding, asked again: "What exactly are you going to do?!"

Knowing his purpose would help devise a countermeasure.

"..."

"I’m asking you a question; what, is your goal something you’re afraid I’ll know?"

"Shut up!" Nangong Xu shot her a cold glance, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Jian Yufei dared not speak further.

She looked out the window, unsure how to save herself.
