Jiang Wei had heard countless pleas for mercy before one's death, but he had never heard anything quite like this.
Unwilling to accept it?
He had heard that the two of them had been exchanging glances and shared a mutual understanding even before Mr. Su passed away.
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and began to suspect if this was Su Ruobai's expedient measures.
Su Ruobai had no idea how the outside world was spreading rumors about him and Wen Wannian, but because of his relationship with Wen Wannian, he definitely didn't want it to happen here.
"I... I am in a respectful relationship with Wenwannian..." Su Ruobai's voice faltered as he faced the pitch-black barrel of the gun. He spoke with a tremor in his voice, hesitatingly saying, "If you think you can hurt him by harming me and make him sad, then you are definitely wasting your efforts."
"I didn't intend to make him sad." Jiang Wei sneered, "I want him to lose an arm."
Su Ruobai: "...Is it really that cruel?"
"Why did you kidnap me then? To lure him over?" Su Ruobai shook her head and replied, "He won't come so soon."
Jiang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Do you have a bad relationship?"
Su Ruobai: "As respectful as guests. Su Jiacheng's daughter likes my ex-boyfriend. She was afraid that I would be a hindrance, so she forcefully pushed me towards Wen Wannian."
He did not mention the internal power struggles within the family, instead dismissing Jiang Wei with bland and uninteresting relationship issues. However, what he said was true to some extent and had some credibility.
Jiang Wei fell silent for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly set down the pistol and reholstered it at his waist.
"Trust you once, but before Wen Ya comes, you better behave." Jiang Wei finished speaking and kicked over the bowl of porridge with the hem of his clothes. "Hand over the straw."
Su Ruobai: "..." This person's keen observation skills are truly...
Under helplessness, Su Ruobai shifted his body and flicked the straw out from behind. Jiang Wei picked up the straw and carried it out.
The warehouse door was closed once again, and Su Ruobai let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of fear.
The feeling of being held at gunpoint is truly unpleasant, as if one has just walked through the gates of hell.
After a moment of calm, a slight frown appeared on his attractive forehead.
- Jiang Wei turned out to be Wen Wannian's nemesis in his later years.
Speaking frankly, he wanted to cut off one of Wen Wannian's arms. What kind of grudge is there between the two of them... Most importantly, Wen Wannian is a refined lawyer. How could he have any connection with this kind of person?
But the next second he felt relieved. It was precisely because Wen Wannian was a lawyer that situations such as rivalry among colleagues and winning court cases could bring him deadly troubles.
No matter what the reason is, it's clear that he is implicated in this, and now he can only wait for Wen Wannian to come over. Jiang Wei doesn't seem too crazy and if he can reason with him, maybe he can get himself out of this situation.
Of course, these speculations are all based on Wen Yuan's arrival here in his later years.
As for whether Wen Nián will come in her later years, nobody knows.
No one came to the warehouse after that, and it seemed that the bowl of porridge was meant to be his sustenance for the entire night, but it was accidentally kicked over by Jiang Wei. In the latter half of the night, Su Ruobai's hungry stomach felt a sense of emptiness and sour pain.
He didn't sleep at all last night, so he should be extremely exhausted today. However, he didn't feel like sleeping now. His nerves were on edge, afraid that Jiang Wei might suddenly change his mind and come in, giving him a gunshot.
After going through so much trouble to be alive again, he absolutely did not want to just die like this.
I'm not sure how long had passed, but the surroundings gradually became clear. Rays of white light seeped in through the door frame and window frames, indicating that it must be dawn.
Bathed in this faint glow, Su Ruobai could see her surroundings clearly. She realized that she was in a small storage room filled with wood, which was not very spacious.
Wood...
(Note: Since the original paragraph provided is incredibly short and lacks context, the translation is also very brief.)
Su Ruobai raised an eyebrow.
Could it be the forester's storeroom?
