This unexpected change was clearly not something any of the three had anticipated.

Especially Mei Jianxue, whose emotions were particularly agitated, shouted angrily, "Fang Yixiu, what are you doing? Didn't you say you would let us go?"

Fang Yixiu's gaze remained fixed on the document.

Murmuring, he said, "Xiaoxue, sometimes, I really wonder, how did you make Jianhai Group so lively and successful? What are we? We are businessmen, right? Haven't you heard of the saying that there are no honest businessmen? In a businessman's mouth, there is never a word of truth. Consider this the last lesson I give you on behalf of your father."

After saying that.

He waved his hand.

Someone brought out the prepared ropes.

They tied the three of them up tightly.

After being bound up and thrown into the center of the living room.

Mei Qicheng was also pushed by their side.

Of course.

He wasn't restrained.

Because he was paralyzed, completely immobile.

Then.

Someone brought in barrel after barrel, and it was clear at a glance that they were filled with gasoline.

By this point.

Chen Fang also understood.

From the very beginning, Fang Yixiu never planned to let them go.

He wanted to set a fire, completely burning down this house, and they, the four of them, would die in this fire. As for what comes next, he obviously had already thought of how to handle it.

As long as the means were ruthless enough.

Any matter could be brushed aside.

Including murder.

"Axiu, wasn't it said that if you got Jianhai Group, you'd give me a billion?"

Facing the imminent peril to her sister and father.

Rebecca not only didn't wake up to the reality.

But rather seemed rather excited.

Fang Yixiu handed the document to Lin Shuyue.

Reached out and caressed Rebecca's face, saying, "Such a beautiful face. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant, but your sister and father are here. If you don't accompany them, it's really unjustifiable..."

In an instant.

Rebecca's face immediately changed color.

She hadn't had the time to say anything.

The two men in black beside her moved.

Saying nothing further.

They also tied her up.

"Fang Yixiu, what are you doing? You said if I helped you, you'd give me money, you... you lied to me..."

During this process.

She kept roaring.

Also struggling continuously.

But, as a weak woman, how could she match those two strong men?

After Rebecca was securely bound.

Fang Yixiu gave a cold sneer.

And said, "I'm sorry, but I, Fang Yixiu, hate traitors the most. If you can betray your father and sister for money, one day you'll betray me for money or some other reason too. I can't leave such a ticking time bomb by my side. You can go with your father and sister, and on Huangquan Road, you'll have someone to keep you company."

These were his last words.

After speaking, he leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back.

Rebecca was also thrown beside them.

Unlike Mei Jianxue.

She kept crying and whimpering, muttering, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

As if becoming frantic.

The remaining men in black.

Poured gasoline over the sofa, the curtains, and even splashed some on them.

The last person to leave.

Was the young man who had been following Fang Yixiu all along.

After everyone had evacuated.

He took out a half-used candle from his pocket.

First, he lit the candle with a lighter.

Then said, "I calculated it, this candle takes about seven to eight minutes to burn completely, so for the next seven to eight minutes, you can say your final words to each other."

After tossing out this statement.

The young man then turned and left.

And conveniently closed the front door of the house.

Flames symbolize warmth, symbolize hope, but now, that flame not far from them was their death warrant.

Once the candle burns to the bottom.

The flame will ignite the gasoline.

Then.

A blaze will shoot up to the sky, possibly even causing an explosion.

As a result.

The five of them would meet their end in the sea of fire, without even a trace left behind.

"Ah Fang, I'm sorry, Ah Yan, I'm sorry too, clearly this is my family's issue, yet it leads you to die with me..."

Mei Jianxue sniffed and said.

Chen Fang's heart was naturally filled with sorrow.

He hadn't expected that his life would come to an end in such a way.

The ropes were tied very tightly.

He had tried for a long time, but to no avail.

Even if he wanted to move to a place and use a corner of the wall to cut the ropes, there wasn't enough time.

Since this was the case.

He could only resign to his fate.

Taking a long sigh, he said, "Alright then, it's not too wronged, as I said before, beneath a peony blossom, one dies a happy ghost, with you two beauties accompanying me, I won't be lonely..."

After saying this.

Chen Fang lowered his head.

Images of many things flashed through his mind.

Especially Qianqian and the child.

A surge of guilt overwhelmed his heart.

He thought, if he'd known it would be like this, he should have called them.

But it's too late now, no use saying anything.

"Daughter, daughter... Xiaoxue... Rebecca... can't die... can't die..."

Suddenly.

A very muddled voice reached his ears.

Chen Fang and the others lifted their heads.

And saw Mei Qicheng on the wheelchair becoming restless.

Though his facial muscles were still twisted, and his mouth crooked, those indistinct words were indeed uttered by him.

"Dad..."

Xiaoxue exclaimed mournfully.

"Can't die... my daughter... can't die..."

The wheelchair shook more and more violently.

With a thud.

Mei Qicheng fell from the wheelchair.

Taking a heavy fall.

"Dad..."

Mei Jianxue's cries grew louder.

This sound seemed to give Mei Qicheng strength.

A miracle occurred.

Severely paralyzed to the point of almost being unable to move, he was actually crawling towards the direction of the candle.

Though very slowly.

But he was indeed moving closer, bit by bit.

Everyone's hope for survival rekindled.

They concentrated intensely on the pitiable Mei Qicheng on the ground.

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Seeing the candle about to burn out.

Mei Qicheng suddenly opened his mouth and engulfed the flame.

Yes, you read that right.

He bit onto the flame with his mouth.

That scorching, flickering flame extinguished completely at the last moment.

With a loud bang.

The front door was violently burst open.

Jiang Feng charged in.

Outside, he had already smelled the gasoline.

He and the subordinates brought by Liang Manhua carefully entered, untying Chen Fang and the others.

With their help.

All five of them escaped the danger.

By then.

It was slightly dawning outside.

The sunlight cast a halo on the horizon.

Chen Fang never thought, the sunrise was so beautiful.

One couldn't help but sigh, It's great to be alive...

Indeed, it's great to be alive.

Only by being alive, can one fight back...
