Chapter 1528: Chapter 1432: If only you had realized this sooner, but unfortunately, it’s all too late now.
On the rooftop—
Lu Haotian witnessed everything.
Lu Haotian was still being held down by four bodyguards.
From where he was, he could clearly see Xia Yangyang’s room.
The curtains were not drawn, and he could see everything perfectly.
Gong Xue’er shoved Xia Yangyang out directly.
Xia Yangyang plunged straight into the swimming pool.
He wanted to scream loudly.
But his mouth was gagged.
No matter how much he tried to scream, not a single sound escaped.
He desperately tried to break free.
Even to the point of dislocating his wrist.
But it was no use.
After Xia Yangyang fell, she didn’t come up again.
He knew something was wrong.
At this moment, Gong Xue’er began to walk calmly toward him.
Lu Haotian’s eyes reddened as he looked at Gong Xue’er.
If his glare could kill, Gong Xue’er would have died a million times over under it.
Despite his dislocated wrist, Lu Haotian continued to struggle.
Each movement felt like his entire skeleton was about to be crushed.
Gong Xue’er casually walked up to Lu Haotian.
The night wind lifted her long hair.
She seemed elegant and at ease.
Her smile appeared particularly carefree.
Gong Xue’er said, "Lu Haotian, did you see that? Xia Yangyang is finished, completely finished."
Lu Haotian trembled all over, his crimson eyes looking monstrous, like a demon ready to devour someone.
Gong Xue’er ordered the men to rip the tape off Lu Haotian’s lips.
Finally, Lu Haotian could speak: "Gong Xue’er, I’m going to kill you!"
Gong Xue’er simply laughed: "Kill me? You don’t have what it takes!"
Lu Haotian seemed to have set everything else aside now.
He said, "Please, save Yangyang. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. If you want marriage, I’ll marry you. If you want me to kneel and beg you, I’ll kneel and beg you."
Lu Haotian knelt directly in front of Gong Xue’er.
He had no time left.
There was no time anymore.
All of Lu Haotian’s attention was locked on Xia Yangyang, who had fallen into the water.
Every second that passed, Xia Yangyang moved closer to death.
Lu Haotian didn’t know how much time had passed since the incident began.
But he knew that Xia Yangyang’s life hung in the balance.
As long as there was even the slightest chance of saving her.
He was willing to do anything.
Even if it meant dying in her place.
But Gong Xue’er remained as nonchalant as ever.
She looked at Lu Haotian kneeling in front of her.
Her heart surged with immense satisfaction.
"Lu Haotian, you’re begging me now, but it’s a pity that everything is already too late."
Lu Haotian hadn’t expected Gong Xue’er to really dare to kill someone before his eyes.
It was truly heartless and insane.
But he had only one thought now.
He had to ensure Yangyang’s safety.
"Gong Xue’er, isn’t this all because you want to marry me? I’ll agree. I’ll go register with you right now. I’ll transfer all my assets into your name. In the future, you can have complete control over me. I just need Yangyang to live. I promise I’ll never have any ties to her again. I promise."
Lu Haotian had abandoned all pretense.
Gong Xue’er lightly slapped Lu Haotian’s face.
Lu Haotian even begged in a pleading tone: "Xue’er, I’m begging you—please, I’ll try to love you. From now on, it’ll just be the two of us, okay?"
Gong Xue’er knew full well that Lu Haotian was only stalling for time.
That he’d even swallow his pride to say these things.
But the hatred in his eyes was something he couldn’t disguise.
It made Gong Xue’er suddenly sober up.
Gong Xue’er slapped his face again and said, "If only you’d gotten this through your head earlier—unfortunately, now it’s all far too late."
