Chapter 963: Chapter 966: Give It a Try
Now, Qin Longyun’s future was very bright, and with King Qin himself present today, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to make a move so rashly, even if they held grievances against Qin Longyun.
And the only ones who had such a big grudge against the Qin Family and were bold enough would be Xuan Er or Prince Liang’s confidants.
If it were the former, Xuan Er, having an agenda, would only use Rui Rui as a bargaining chip for revenge.
If it were the latter, Prince Liang might have intended only to teach Qin Longyun a lesson, and if they were too slow, Rui Rui could be in great danger!
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but quicken her pace, but with her belly already blocking her line of sight, her speed was limited.
By the time she reached the front courtyard, King Qin and Qin Longyun had already taken action, and only then did she feel a bit more at ease.
From the incident to now, at most only half a stick of incense had passed, so there should still be time.
Chen Yiling waited in the room for a while, her last sliver of hope shattered.
She hurried to the front yard and said anxiously, "Husband, elder brother, we must save Rui Rui."
If she lost her baby, she couldn’t live on either, because her baby was her life.
"Even if I have to turn the Daxing Dynasty upside down, I will find your son."
King Qin clenched his fists, recalling how that little thing had peed on him and deliberately pooped while being changed. He hadn’t settled this account with him yet, and someone dared to take Qin Mingrui away. Did they think he was dead?
Qin Longyun pulled Chen Yiling into his arms: "Don’t be afraid, the Prince’s guards and government officials are searching the estate, surely we will be able to find our son."
Chen Yiling nodded vigorously, but tears still blurred her eyes.
It was all her fault; if she had been more careful, Rui Rui wouldn’t have been abducted.
King Qin’s guards quickly took control of the entire Government Office, and it wasn’t long before they found Xuan Er.
With nowhere to hide, Xuan Er was eventually cornered on Lake Heart Pavilion.
"Don’t come any closer, or I’ll throw him into the water!" Xuan Er warned, eyeing the people around him vigilantly.
Xuan Er’s hand hovered over the water’s surface, and with just a release of his grip, the child would fall in.
The pond in the Government Office was small, but it was deep enough to drown an infant barely a month old.
He had intended to take the child out of the Government Office and negotiate with them when Qin Longyun and the others were frantic with worry. By then, no matter what demands he made, Qin Longyun would surely agree.
But he had never anticipated that the people of Qin’s Mansion would react so swiftly, surrounding him shortly after he had taken the child.
Negotiating now would be far less effective.
However, being cornered like this, he had no other choice but to gamble everything.
"Don’t, please don’t harm my child!" Chen Yiling pleaded.
King Qin yanked Chen Yiling back; her near-collapsed emotions would only embolden Xuan Er.
"What do you want to release the child?"
Xuan Er immediately said, "Release Xuan San, and in the future, don’t trouble him anymore; whatever crimes he’s accused of, I’ll take his place. You won’t lose out."
One for one, quite fair.
King Qin scoffed lightly, "You’re Xuan San’s accomplice and should rightfully be a condemned prisoner. What right do you have to trade for Xuan San’s release? Besides, you’ve delivered yourself to us, do you think I will let you go?"
"With the young master of the Qin Family accompanying me on Huangquan Road, I won’t be lonely." Xuan Er said indifferently.
If they were willing, he had no objections.
Xuan Er’s hand lowered slightly, and everyone’s hearts rose to their throats.
The Xuan Family’s Three Brothers were notorious for their cruelty and countless misdeeds, but their brotherly affection was strong. Xuan Er truly might do something crazy for the sake of Xuan San.
