Chapter 728: Chapter 728 He Really Can’t Leave Her

"Qiao Yiyang!" she exclaimed with heartache, worry filling her eyes.

"Rong Shaoze, I will definitely kill you, I must kill you!"

Lu Xiaofan suddenly went berserk. She forcefully broke free from two men, also snapping the ropes on her hands and feet, and lunged fiercely at Rong Shaoze.

Rong Shaoze’s eyes narrowed sharply, he raised his hand, and without blinking, he pulled the trigger—

Qiao Yiyang’s eyes widened instantly, a hint of panic flashing through them.

"Bang—" The gunshot sounded, and Lu Xiaofan’s body abruptly halted, as did the world around her.

She looked down at her bloodied chest in disbelief, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"Xiaofan!" Qiao Yiyang screamed, snapping his own ropes and crawled on all fours to her side.

He turned her body over, saw her tightly closed eyes, her pale complexion, and felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, accompanied by a sharp pain.

"Lu Xiaofan, wake up, open your eyes and wake up!"

Qiao Yiyang vigorously shook her body, but she did not respond at all.

He put his hand over her bleeding chest, but the blood kept gushing out, staining his hands red, and reddening his eyes.

’Qiao Yiyang, I said I would never leave you, and I will never leave you. Even if you killed me, I would not leave you.’

Who had said they would never leave him?

Then why was she now keeping her eyes tightly shut, not opening them no matter how much he shouted?

Lu Xiaofan, you said you would never leave me, you promised!

Qiao Yiyang looked up at Rong Shaoze with a cold gaze, "You killed her!"

Rong Shaoze sneered, "I’m going to kill you too!"

"Haha, Rong Shaoze, you killed Mingyan and now Xiaofan too; you’ve killed everyone close to me, leaving me completely with nothing!"

Rong Shaoze’s gaze was profound as he said indifferently, "Just hand over the antidote, and I will give you their lives back!"

Qiao Yiyang laughed with mockery, "Can you bring them back from the dead?"

"I can!" Rong Shaoze said firmly.

Qiao Yiyang was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react.

Rong Shaoze continued, "Your life, Lin Xinlan’s life in exchange for Rong Mingyan and Lu Xiaofan’s lives—make your decision, and hurry. Otherwise, Lu Xiaofan won’t be saved."

Qiao Yiyang tensed up, torn inside.

Lu Xiaofan’s blood was still pouring out; a second’s delay and she might be gone forever, beyond salvation.

’Qiao Yiyang, admit it, you’ve become unable to live without me.’

Lu Xiaofan’s words suddenly echoed in his ears.

A pain struck his heart, forcing him to admit he truly could not live without her.

She was always by his side, never betraying him, never abandoning him. If she suddenly disappeared, he would undoubtedly find it hard to adjust...

"Fine, I agree!" Qiao Yiyang gritted his teeth and nodded, saying firmly, "But, I have a condition!"

Rong Shaoze watched him, silent.

"If you accept the challenge I issue and bring Mingyan and Xiaofan back to life, I will hand over the antidote!"

"I agree!" Rong Shaoze responded immediately.

In his heart, he let out a sigh of relief.

Qiao Yiyang was finally willing to hand over the antidote; Xinlan could be saved...

Rong Shaoze immediately called Tao Hua in to rescue Lu Xiaofan.

He brought Tao Hua along for Lin Xinlan’s sake, never expecting that he’d prove useful at just the right moment.
