Chapter 402 Not worth it
“Oh, I just thought, maybe you…” Wu Jin saw that Song Yan’s expression was wrong, paused, cleared his throat, then turned his head slightly, looked away from her, and put his fist to his mouth. When he coughed. “Anyway, I’m surprised to see you here, sister-in-law.”
"You're definitely not as surprised as I am." Song Yan looked at him, her arms folded, her eyes carefully scanning his face, and she found that Wu Jin avoided her gaze, and the corners of her mouth raised in disdain. "Imagine how surprised I was when I saw a frail girl murdering a group of people. I gave you time to come over and tell me what kind of demon your sister is hiding, not to let you give your sister extra time to have a decent meal."
After Wu Jin heard what Song Yan said, his pupils trembled. He turned to look at Song Yan who was leaning against the wall at the back of the building, and asked with a hint of shock and surprise in his voice: "Genji? She is the mastermind behind this? That... that's impossible. Nearly twenty people were killed and three or four were injured. Ji Dong couldn't have done such a thing... She couldn't have killed so many people. "
"Oh, here it comes." Song Yan said angrily, kicking himself off the wall and walking to Wu Jin, who was standing in front of him with a mocking smile on his face. "Let me tell you one thing. When I asked you to bring me the information about that demon, it didn't mean that you could save your sister's life as long as you drag your feet. Oh no." She raised her hand. Her index finger poked Wu Jin's chest and roared, "That is to say, I will give your family a chance to resolve this matter privately. Otherwise, I have a thousand ways to make your sister and your family suffer together, okay?"
Her index finger began to push harder, digging deeper into Wu Jin's chest. "If you keep dragging your feet like you are now, then I can promise you that if you want to risk everything for a girl who kills innocent people like this, I will make your family's life a living hell, and you can continue like this."
“I’m not holding you back.” Wu Jin didn’t want to show his weakness to Song Yan, he knew what she said was right, if something was really wrong with Wu Genji then she should be punished, but the thing was, he couldn’t muster up the courage and will to see his sister die. Of course, he understood that what she did was wrong… no, it was inhumane, but…. He bit his lip and then looked up at Song Yan. “You said that if I didn’t tell you what kind of demon Genji was hiding, you wouldn’t be able to do anything.”
"Do you really think so?" Song Yan sneered, raised his hand and grabbed Wu Jin's collar, lifted him up into the air, and suffocated him. "I can do a lot of things, dear. If you think you can stop me from contacting your sister, you are wrong. I will contact her." She must catch Wu Genji because only in this way can she save her father.
Seeing Wu Jin choking up, she loosened her grip and watched him fall to the ground. Song Yan waited until he had enough air before leaning down and looking into his eyes. "Three days, that's all you can get. If you don't bring the information I want, I'll come looking for your sister whether you like it or not. Believe me, I'll go looking for your sister as soon as I hear about the spoiled little princess of the Wu family. "If the mastermind behind all these killings is released, your family will have a hell of a field trip and return. "
She then stood up and turned to leave. However, before she took three steps, she heard Wu Jin's voice again: "Are you threatening me?"
She paused, turned her head, and looked at Wu Jin with a sinister smile. "No, I warn you, be a good child and make a wise choice, otherwise..." She turned around and left before she finished her words, leaving Wu Jin alone.
Wu Jin watched Song Yan leave, his nails digging into his skin as he watched her disappear. He knew she was angry about this. He was also angry, but even though he was willing to end it all in his heart, his heart couldn't let it go. He didn't want to see his sister die.
“That’s easy for you to say!” He yelled at Song Yan’s back, furious. He had lost his nephew and was about to lose his sister. It was easier for Song Yan to let him go, after all, she had never lost anyone before!
"Damn it!" he cursed, pounding the concrete floor so hard that blood flowed, then he squatted down and let out a cry of frustration and pain. "Why Genji? Why did you do this?"
Soo-yeon certainly heard Woo-jin's cries, but she didn't stop to comfort him, was she wrong to do that? Maybe so, she'd lost enough people closer to her than Woo-jin to know how he felt, but she also knew how much it meant to him to let go of those restraints that were nothing more than barbed wire, after all, was it worth it to save Woo-jin more than all the innocent lives she'd ruined?
