Chapter 996 I Do Not Care Who He Is
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.
Seeing that, Rong Jilin took out his phone. “You still refuse to listen, huh? Then I'll make the call now and order them to kill your child!”
“He's your nephew! You can't harm him!” Ning Ran suddenly yelled.
She had no intention of revealing this secret and had planned to bring it to the grave, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to speak up.
Rong Jilin specifically chose that place to force Nan Chen into desperation, but she knew that Nan Chen would never push her off the building.
Even if she jumped off herself, Rong Jilin would still not relent.
It seemed like there was no better way out than to reveal this secret. NôvelDrama.Org content.
“What did you say?” Rong Jilin seemed a bit confused by her statement.
“I am your elder sister, so that makes my child your nephew! You can't hurt him!” Ning Ran repeated.
Rong Yi looked at Ning Ran, unsure if what she said was the truth or a lie. He suspected that Ning Ran might be deceiving Rong Jilin.
However, he recalled the special sense of familiarity he always felt whenever he was with her.
Besides, the way she spoke to him and looked at him seemed different later on.
Rong Jilin burst into laughter. “Are you out of your mind, woman? You have no other choice but to claim we are related now? Do you think you can deceive me with a made-up story about being my sister? Your last name is Ning, and mine is Rong. Do you actually think anyone is going to believe this nonsense?”
Ning Ran turned to Rong Yi, saying, “I did a DNA test to confirm it. I apologize for not seeking your permission beforehand when I had your hair collected from your barber for the test. What I'm saying is true. Although I don't know why I am a daughter of the Rong family, it is a fact. I have never planned to reveal this in my lifetime as it is not something that makes me happy or proud. Rong Jilin pushed me
too far, so I had no choice but to speak up. My son is your nephew. Please spare him because of his connection to your family... He's just a kid...”
Ning Ran choked with tears as she spoke.
“Haha, keep acting! You're quite the actress!” Rong Jilin continued laughing.
However, Rong Yi believed her.
He didn't need to see any reports to believe that Ning Ran was telling the truth because he could see the emotion in her eyes and the expression on her face.
No wonder her recent behavior and words have been strange. She must have already learned about her connection to the Rong family.
Rong Yi's emotions were a mix of joy and sorrow.
He was happy to have found a long-lost sister who was beautiful and intelligent.
However, he was also sad because this revelation came in such a situation that made him feel ashamed of the Rong family for what they had done to Ning Ran and her child.
“I won't listen to your stories any longer, Nan Chen!” Rong Jilin yelled. “I'll ask you one last time. Do you want your child or your woman?”
“I want them both,” Nan Chen replied firmly.
“You wish! Since you won't push her down, I'll make the call now and have them kill that little brat!” Rong Jilin took out his phone as he spoke.
Ning Ran tried to rush over to stop him, but Nan Chen held her back.
Ning Ran trembled upon seeing the cold look on Nan Chen's face. “You're not going to stand aside and let this happen, are you? We can't let anything happen to my child!” she pleaded.
“He's my child too. How can I possibly not do anything?” Nan Chen replied coldly.
On the opposite side, Rong Jilin was holding his phone up and turning in different directions when he realized that there was no signal. Without the signal, he couldn't make the call.
After pondering for a moment, he finally understood what was going on.
It was a cellphone signal jammer. If he knew how to use it, surely someone from the Nan family knew too.
“I see you've blocked the cellphone signal, Nan Chen. You really think that your child will be safe if I can't make the call?” Rong Jilin taunted.
“If anything happens to my child, I'll make everyone involved pay the price no matter who they are,” Nan Chen responded coldly.
