Threats

Qin Ruo moved her fingers. "I-I have a mobile phone."

Seeing that Gu An had no intention of objecting, Qin Ruo nervously took out her mobile phone from her bag.

The moment the phone was taken out, the device rang. 

Qin Ruo glanced at the caller ID as if grasping at straws.

Qin Ruo tried to pacify Gu An with her smile.

"Look, Qin Qing is calling."

Gu An's eyes couldn't help but change a little.

"Hurry up."

"Okay!"

The phone call quickly connected. Qin Qing's casual and chilling voice came from the other end. 

"Qin Ruo, isn't it good to be alive? Who told you to touch my people?"

Gu An's hands shook a bit. He blinked and lowered his eyes.

With a knife on her neck, Qin Ruo was extra cautious when speaking.

"I-I just invited the child to my house as a guest. There is no other meaning. Si-sister, you have been taking care of him alone…"

Qin Qing listened to Qin Ruo's stuttering speech on the opposite side. She couldn't help but recall something, so she chuckled. 

At this time, Qin Ruo was using the speakerphone, so Qin Qing just interrupted Qin Ruo's words.

"Kid, you're not pointing a knife at someone's neck, are you?"

For some reason, Gu An subconsciously turned his head and denied it. "I didn't."

How could Qin Qing believe it? "Oh, you have learned to lie. It looks like nothing—"

However, before Qin Qing could finish speaking, there was a muffled groan.

Gu An was dragged by Uncle Wang, and his body rolled onto the floor. Uncle Wang held Gu An's hands in place.

Qin Ruo finally regained her freedom.

As for Uncle Wang, he originally wanted to hand the things he bought to Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo's door was half open again, and he saw such a scene as soon as he arrived.

A while ago, Gu An was talking to Qin Qing, so he didn't notice the gradually approaching figure behind him.

Qin Qing, who was on the opposite side, slightly frowned as she listened to the sound.

"Gu An?"

However, it was Qin Ruo's strange voice that answered Qin Qing.

Qin Ruo was just on the verge of death. She was suffocated, so her gentle mask began to crack. 

"Sister, it's me. Gu An has already been captured by Uncle Wang. This disobedient child really needs to be taught a lesson."

Qin Ruo then continued, "Sister, don't you think so?"

Qin Qing's long and narrow eyebrows furrowed, and a cold light flashed.

"You're trying to threaten me."

Qin Ruo faintly smirked, but it was a little different from her usual fake gentleness.

"Sister, how can this be called a threat? I just want my sister to play a piece for me.

Qin Ruo reminded, "Sister, don't forget. This kid is in my hands now. If you still want him to be returned, just follow my arrangement."

Qin Ruo pointed out, "I think there must be something special about this kid that made you take him in. You won't easily accept it if I snatch him. Of course, I can give you some time to think. Sister, decide before ten o'clock tonight."

On the other side, Qin Qing was sitting on the sofa, and the seconds on the wall were turning bit by bit.

Silence spread in the air, and the girl's eyes were slightly lowered. No one could see through her emotions. 

It had been a long time since she, Qin Qing, was threatened like this.

To be honest, it felt really unpleasant. 

Sensing Qin Qing's hesitation, Qin Ruo became more and more daring.

"My sister seems flustered. It's your choice..."

Before Qin Ruo could finish speaking, Qin Qing interrupted her.

Qin Qing slightly raised her eyes and looked straight ahead. Her tone was determined and void of any hesitation. She was decisive and ruthless.
