Chapter 1213 - 1282: Three Minutes to Decide

"Xiao Ning." Xu Qigang’s eyes were deep and unfathomable, even Sheng Ning, who knew him well, couldn’t understand the meaning behind his words.

He stepped aside.

Sheng Ning desperately shook her head, her eyes repeatedly conveying: ’No, don’t, they have guns, too much ammunition, it’s not possible.’

Shen Yu had already gone mad, and the Southern Border People would show no mercy. If they were allowed to go out, many would die, they would take her as a hostage and kill their way back to the Southern Border.

She mustn’t be such a sinner; her life was already a bonus. After her rebirth, being able to marry Xu Qigang, to be his woman, she was satisfied.

As for the child... just consider it a debt she owed!

"Let us go, hurry." Shen Yu’s gut was increasingly uncertain; he had previously overlooked how bloodthirsty the Living Yama was. Damn it, this person was a complete madman on the battlefield.

He might actually give up on his wife.

"I’ll give you three minutes to consider; for every minute you exceed, I’ll stab her once." Shen Yu grinned, leaned close to Sheng Ning’s ear, and then unexpectedly bit her ear.

The bite immediately drew blood, Sheng Ning’s white neck was instantly stained with a striking bright red. She bit her teeth hard, trying to withstand the urge not to cry out. She could cry in the Living Yama’s embrace, but she absolutely could not cry in front of the enemy.

"Ahhh..." The comrades from the War Wolf Rescue Team were red-eyed and on the verge of madness.

Shen Ming could barely stand; he looked at Shen Yu with unfamiliar eyes. Never had he thought his once leader could become this; is this still him? Clearly a devil instead.

No wonder grandpa wanted to kill him, grandpa’s foresight proves accurate. However, uncle personally released a devil.

Xu Qigang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly aimed his gun at Shen Yu.

"Dare to shoot? If you shoot, we will all die."

Xu Qigang’s hand was steady as a mountain, but his heart was trembling. He couldn’t make the decision; he’d rather die himself but definitely couldn’t let Xiao Ning die.

"Let’s make a deal." He slowly said, "I’ll trade myself as a hostage; I am weighty enough to ensure you leave the Northern District peacefully, even to return to the Southern Border."

Li Xia was extremely excited, ready to agree immediately. Her objective originally was Xu Qigang; if they took him away and killed him afterward, it would be fantastic.

Shen Yu coldly glanced at Li Xia, "Do you think anyone can be his match? Can you detain him or can I?"

Li Xia instantly calmed down. No... Neither of them could!

Even the strong Scarface had been decapitated by him; they had no confidence in detaining him.

"Wishful thinking, we aren’t that stupid." Li Xia impatiently urged, "Quickly let us pass, the three minutes have already passed." As she spoke, the shining curved blade was already against Sheng Ning’s stomach.

"Xu Qigang." Su Jiang walked out from the crowd, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xu Qigang, the two exchanged a glance as if back to their bloody combat days.

"President." Xu Qigang painfully rolled his hands into fists, "I can’t live without Xiao Ning; I can’t do it." He simply couldn’t issue an order, neither to let Shen Yu go nor to order to shoot.

The balance of a husband and rescue comrade, he didn’t know where to lean, both were equally important.

His heart seemed to be placed on the fire to roast.

"I can’t do it, she’s my niece, I promised father." Su Jiang closed his eyes, "But we are rescue comrades, and rescuers must put others above themselves first. Ningning is also a comrade, she has the right to choose."

Sheng Ning’s choice, had long been evident.

"Since you cannot make the decision, I’ll do it." A sharpness flickered in Su Jiang’s eyes, "Rest assured, I’ll avenge Ningning. When things conclude, I’ll lead the Southern Union, and unless the Southern Border hired soldiers are bloodied I am not called Su Jiang."

Li Xia trembled all over; she didn’t know Su Jiang personally. During the war, due to Su Jiang’s status, he was always stationed at the command post, there never was a chance to meet him.

But Su Jiang’s name was absolutely renowned in the Southern Border.

At this moment she finally realized she poked through the heavens, this move was dangerously perilous. No matter winning or losing today, it thoroughly enraged the rescue world; how could she be so careless?

All because of Shen Yu; he was a madman not wanting to live, while she still didn’t wish to die. Besides, she still needed to lead many hired soldiers.

Li Xia signaled Yoda with her eyes, indicating that by all means necessary Sheng Ning’s life must be spared. She absolutely couldn’t die now, or even the meticulously cautious rescue comrades this time couldn’t prevent Su Jiang and the Living Yama from rampaging in a killing spree.
