Rong Jilin looked at Rong Yi triumphantly.
Yi, I've done what you can never do. Didn't you always admire Nan Chen because of how accomplished he is? But here he is, listening to me obediently! You told me that the Nan family can't be defeated, but that's just nonsense! As long as I take action, nothing is unbeatable!
“Rong Jilin, just tell us whatever demands you have. I'll try my best to fulfill them, but if something happens to my child, I won't spare you,” Nan Chen said coldly.
Pointing a finger at Nan Chen, Rong Jilin said, “How dare you tell me what to do? You're in my hands now, yet you still act like you're in charge! Don't you understand your current situation? You are the one who should comply according to whatever I order you to do! If you dare to disobey me, you'll never see your child again.”
As Nan Chen's face darkened, a chilling aura emanated from his body.
“I came here to give myself and you a chance,” Nan Chen said coldly.
Rong Jilin laughed again. “You're still doing it! If you don't give me a chance, what do you think will happen?”
Nan Chen remained silent.
Unlike Rong Jilin, Rong Yi believed Nan Chen's words.
The Nan family had stood strong in Flower City for many years, and that was definitely not just luck.
Rong Yi also believed that Rong Jilin would be no match for Nan Chen if the latter decided to use questionable means to deal with him.
Perhaps Rong Jilin would not be the only one from the Rong family to face Nan Chen's wrath. It was possible that the entire Rong family could suddenly disappear without a trace if Nan Chen wanted it.
If the Nan family was truly so weak that they had no means to retaliate when a child from their family was kidnapped, why did the Rong family need to retreat from Flower City in defeat all those years ago? They could have just kidnapped a Nan family member directly.
The reason why Nan Chen was still trying to find the child through legitimate means was because the Nan family believed that the situation hadn't escalated to the point where they had to resort to violence.
Hence, Nan Chen was telling the truth. He was indeed giving himself and Rong Jilin a chance.
“Nan Chen, if you push this woman off the building right now, I'll release your child,” Rong Jilin said with a cold smirk.
Even Rong Yi didn't expect Rong Jilin to make such a demand.
It was clear that Rong Jilin intended to ruin Nan Chen.
If Nan Chen pushed Ning Ran off the building, she would die, and he would be charged with murder.
Even if he wasn't sentenced to death, his life would be ruined.
Moreover, it would be a lifelong trauma for their two children if they found out that their father caused their mother's death by pushing her off the building.
Rong Jilin was just as malicious as Ouyang Li.
It was evident that Nan Chen would not do such a thing.
“I'll rather die than hurt her,” Nan Chen replied.
Rong Jilin laughed again. “Then I'll make the call now and have your child murdered. Do you think I can't do it?”
Terrified by his threat, Ning Ran pleaded, “No! As long as you're willing to release my child, I'll jump off the building on my own!”
Nan Chen glanced at Ning Ran with a meaningful look.
Amused by Nan Chen's and Ning Ran's reactions to his threat, Rong Jilin said, “No, I don't want you to jump off the building on your own. I want Nan Chen to push you so that I can record it. He'll become a murderer, and the Nan family will be doomed!”
Ning Ran knew exactly about Rong Jilin's malicious intentions. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suggested jumping off the building voluntarily.
“Release my child, and I'll jump immediately!” Ning Ran insisted, her voice choked with emotion.
“Don't you understand what I'm saying? Push her off the building immediately, Nan Chen. Once you do, I'll immediately have my men release your child. It's a life for a life. You have nothing to lose!” Rong Jilin continued to taunt.
However, Nan Chen remained motionless.
