Chapter 1628: Chapter 2051: Winner Takes All
In this treacherous society, being able to survive means she naturally has her skills and her luck.
One quickly appeared in front of everyone again, somehow procuring an iron cage, its size just right for Ye Ranran’s needs.
She stuffed the tightly bound Gu Yan into the cage, and once the cage door was closed, she didn’t immediately push Gu Yan down. Instead, she inspected for a moment and asked, “Do you think it’s better to keep her tied up or to untie her?”
There was a smile lingering in her eyes, her expression gentle, but the words she uttered carried not a trace of warmth. From a distance, one wouldn’t know that such cold, ruthless words came from her lips.
“Actually, it’s better to untie her,” One quickly expressed an opinion, “When those beasts surround her, she’ll struggle inside, unable to escape.”
It’s like seeing a glimmer of hope in life, yet bound hand and foot, unable to move an inch, that hope in the heart painfully turning into despair.
If her intention was to punish Gu Yan, then her purpose would absolutely be achieved.
Everything today would become her nightmare, or rather, a nightmare she will never wake up from.
“Rourou, what do you think?” Ye Ranran asked, smiling at the person beside her.
Fan Rou was not as crafty as Ye Ranran, hearing their discussion, fear naturally appeared in her eyes, yet she didn’t resist accepting it.
She’s not a saintly hypocrite; since someone came at her with a knife, she wouldn’t keep saying to let them go.
Even if she hasn’t killed anyone before, at a time like this, she should deliver a strike back.
So she said very practically, “Be as ruthless as possible.”
Ye Ranran looked at Lan Shao, who still appeared rather calm; a man’s psychological endurance is, after all, much stronger than a woman’s.
“If she’s tied up, she’ll be more scared; if she’s untied, she’ll struggle more intensely. But you all have more experience than me, so I’ll listen to you.”
Lan Shao didn’t quite agree with using such brutal methods, yet he didn’t refute it either. The circle he moved in wasn’t exposed to these things, but he knew that world differed from his.
The law of the jungle, the winner takes it all, the loser is branded evil—that’s an unchanging truth. Even if he hasn’t seen such cruel tactics, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
“Then let’s untie her,” Ye Ranran concluded.
One took a pair of scissors from the car, reached through the cage, and untied the ropes on Gu Yan.
Gu Yan quickly jumped up, but before she could shake off the ropes, One kicked the iron cage.
The iron cage immediately tumbled down the mountain like a rolling stone, moving so fast that it left Ye Ranran astounded.
“Logically, her descending speed shouldn’t be this fast,” Lan Shao observed after watching for a moment.
There are trees and bushes on the mountain; even if they chose a relatively unobstructed path, the bushes would still impede the sliding speed.
Analyzed theoretically and practically, this speed surprised people a bit.
“I coated the outside of the cage with a layer of oil, and scattered a layer on the trees as well,” One said calmly.
Everyone: “…”
After Gu Yan rolled to the bottom, the group also started driving down.
To their surprise, as soon as the car reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered an unexpected person: Huo Yi.
“Madam, would you like to get out of the car?” One asked coldly, looking at the tall figure leaning against the military vehicle.
He didn’t like Huo Yi, perhaps because he had once hurt Ye Ranran, or perhaps because he was Jun Mochan’s rival.
