He took a deep breath. "Just as you were worried that I would die, I was also worried that after you and Huang Wencheng got engaged, you would encounter all sorts of difficulties, and that you might do something like what you just did!"

Ning Xian'er burst into tears, "If you can't think straight, then so be it. Anyway, I have nothing to do with you. If I die, no one will care!"

Ling Ziqian roared with a dark face, "I told you before, you are my friend, and I will never let my friend suffer. Just say the word, and I will go through fire and water, even if it means death!"

"Fool, don't say that. Saying that hurts my heart so much. I'm not worth you doing this for me, I'm not worth it..."

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it, but whether I want to or not. There are some people I wouldn't want to deal with even if they were torn to pieces, but my friend, I will do everything in my power to make her free and happy!"

Ling Ziqian stepped forward forcefully, grabbed Ning Xian'er's arm, and pulled her outside.

Ning Xian'er did not struggle. She was worried that Ling Ziqian would suffer retaliation, but she also did not want to get engaged to Huang Wencheng.

Faced with such a dilemma, she chose to ask Ling Ziqian for help.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps from the room when Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er were discovered!

Even though Ling Ziqian wanted to carry Ning Xian'er into the elevator, the engagement banquet venue was too big and there were too many people, making it extremely inconvenient to move around!

When many people saw Ning Xian'er being pulled around by a disheveled young man, they immediately started talking about it.

Huang Wencheng, who was talking with some important figures, also met Ling Ziqian.

His brows furrowed instantly, and he was furious beyond measure. He never expected Ling Ziqian to be so audacious as to break into the engagement ceremony and take Ning Xian'er away!

"Security! Security!" Huang Wencheng shouted loudly.

A team of security guards in uniforms and carrying batons rushed over.

"Stop that person and arrest him!" Huang Wencheng shouted angrily, pointing at Ling Ziqian.

The security guards rushed forward, but Ling Ziqian still held Ning Xian'er's hand. All the security guards who ran over were kicked to the ground by him!

Seeing that the security guards were useless, Huang Wencheng's face darkened. He took out his phone and ordered his bodyguards to intercept Ling Ziqian.

With his ambiguous charm, Ling Ziqian is invincible. Even if well-trained bodyguards attack, they are no match for him!

After knocking the bodyguard to the ground, Ling Ziqian grabbed Ning Xian'er and tried to leave by elevator.

However, when the elevator doors opened and a group of people stepped out, Ning Xian'er's face turned deathly pale. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated sentence: "Group of girls, prelude.")

The leader was a middle-aged man with a stern face, exuding an imposing and powerful aura!

He was none other than Ning Xian'er's father, Ning Gang!

After scanning the surroundings, he saw security guards and bodyguards lying on the ground groaning in pain, while the guests were quite frightened.

Ning Gang's gaze fell on Ling Ziqian. "No matter who you are, today is my daughter's engagement banquet. Please leave."

He had a powerful aura, and Ling Ziqian felt insignificant standing in front of him.

In the past, he would not have dared to face such a person, but now, he stood firm and unyielding, neither arrogant nor humble, meeting Ning Gang's gaze head-on and confronting him head-on!

“Since you know she’s your daughter, not a commodity, why did you still let her get engaged to someone like that?” Ling Ziqian asked Ning Gang.

The surrounding area erupted in uproar. No one expected that Ling Ziqian would have such courage to stand up to Ning Gang.

Some people wanted to step forward and reprimand Ling Ziqian, but Ning Gang raised his hand, signaling the others not to move and to remain calm, saying he would handle the matter.

“I know you want to tell me something about freedom and happiness.” Ning Gang glanced at Ning Xian’er. “Yes, what I did was cruel, using her like a pawn. But have you ever thought about why I did it? I’m not just a father, but also a chairman of the board. One of my decisions can affect the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people.”

"Today, I sacrificed her happiness so that tens of thousands of families could be happy. What's wrong with that?"

According to this view, Ning Gang is a saint-like figure!

But is what he said necessarily true?

Ling Ziqian retorted, "Mr. Ning, I think you're very naive!"

This single sentence stunned everyone present: a young man actually called a business tycoon naive!

It was a joke, but no one laughed, because in such a situation, no one could laugh. Everyone admired Ling Ziqian's courage immensely!

Ning Gang kept a straight face, expressionless.

Ling Ziqian continued, "Throughout history, peace achieved through marriage alliances with princesses has never lasted long. In my opinion, so-called marriage alliances are an extremely weak approach and a sign of incompetence!"

"You say you did this for the jobs of hundreds of thousands of people and the happiness of tens of thousands of families, but why are those people unemployed and their families unhappy? The answer is that you lack the ability. What will you do next time you encounter a crisis? Continue with arranged marriages?"

A prominent business tycoon was criticized as incompetent by a mere young man, which immediately enraged many people!

Someone secretly waved, signaling the bodyguards to step forward and attack Ling Ziqian!

Ling Ziqian went to deal with the attacking bodyguards, while Ning Xian'er, her face pale, bowed deeply to Ning Gang.

“Dad, thank you for raising me. From childhood to adulthood, I’ve never said no. But this time, I’m going to say no. I won’t get engaged to Huang Wencheng. I won’t marry him. I don’t like my current life. I want to…”

"Snapped!"

Before Ning Xian'er could finish speaking, Ning Gang slapped her across the face.

Ning Xian'er, who had been slapped, fell to the ground.

But she quickly stood up, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, but she didn't cry, stubbornly meeting Ning Gang's gaze!

Ning Gang was like a mountain, weighing heavily on Ning Xian'er's heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She had never spoken of it before, but this time, she did, and she rebelled!

"You've enjoyed a life of luxury since you were a child, never experiencing hardship or suffering. There are gains and losses in life. Do you understand this principle?" Ning Gang asked Ning Xian'er in a cold voice.

Ning Xian'er nodded, "I understand, but I've already lost my freedom. I don't want to lose my whole life. I'm giving up my life of luxury; I want to pursue freedom!"

Ning Gang raised his hand again, wanting to slap Ning Xian'er's cheek.

After dealing with the attacking bodyguards, Ling Ziqian grabbed Ning Xian'er's hand and quickly ran into the elevator.

Ning Gang, his face dark, looked at a man beside him.

The man was also a bodyguard. He pulled out a black pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Ling Ziqian.

"Oh!"

The loud gunshots terrified the surrounding guests, turning their faces pale.

The bullet flew towards Ling Ziqian, but just as it was about to hit him, it strangely deflected and grazed past his arm.

The man fired another shot, puzzled, and this time, the bullet pierced through Ling Ziqian's body...

Episode 37

Chapter 289 The Unparalleled Beauty Yu!

The bullet hit Ling Ziqian, and everyone saw it; blood splattered all over Ling Ziqian's body.

At the same time they were hit by bullets, Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er entered the elevator.

Ning Xian'er was quite frightened by the two gunshots.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the elevator doors close.

However, when she turned her head, she saw that Ling Ziqian's clothes were stained with a large patch of blood, and Ning Xian'er was so frightened that she forgot to breathe.

Ling Ziqian leaned against the elevator, slowly squatted down, and finally sat in the corner.

The bullet struck his back and exited through his right chest!

Ling Ziqian was in so much pain that he felt like he was about to die. Ning Xian'er was crying and saying something, but Ling Ziqian couldn't hear a word she said.

His consciousness gradually became blurred.

Huan Yue cried out anxiously, "I've used up all my Ambiguity Points! I just took a bullet for you. I've barely managed to stop the bleeding. If you don't collect some more Ambiguity Points, you're definitely going to kick the bucket!"

Without any ambiguous points, Huan Yue couldn't help; she could only urge Ling Ziqian to collect them.

The elevator doors opened in the lobby on the first floor. Those who wanted to take the elevator were terrified to see Ling Ziqian covered in blood.

A woman who looked somewhat like Ning Xian'er approached, helped Ling Ziqian up, and led Ning Xian'er quickly into the car.

"Auntie, hurry to the hospital, hurry..." Ning Xian'er shouted with tears streaming down her face.

The woman glanced at Ling Ziqian with concern; she had seen this scene before.

Eight years ago, she was also forced into marriage by her family. Her boyfriend came to steal her away, but was shot multiple times and died on the spot!

Ling Ziqian was barely breathing, but he was still somewhat conscious. "We can't go to the hospital. If we go, they'll find you..."

This guy is actually worried about the two of us at a time like this!

The woman thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to Qin Wu!"

After making the decision, she drove around calling some friends she was still in contact with, asking them to help her find a doctor.

On the other side, in the hall on the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Palace.

Ling Ziqian's appearance not only ruined an engagement banquet but also turned the wedding venue into a complete mess!

Hundreds of high-society figures gathered in the hall.

This incident has brought immense shame to both the Ning and Huang families!

Ning Gang remained expressionless. Eight years ago, he had experienced something similar, and now, facing the surrounding discussions, he remained relatively calm.

Huang Wencheng, on the other hand, was like a mad dog whose tail had been stepped on, yelling that he wanted to kill Ling Ziqian, whether he was alive or dead!

He led a group of bodyguards into the elevator, attempting to chase after Ling Ziqian.

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing two women standing inside.

One is the voluptuous Qin Wu, and the other is the stunningly beautiful Yu Meiren!

Yu Meiren was the first to step out of the elevator, her beautiful face covered in icy coldness!

She saw the bloodstains in the elevator, and she also saw Ling Ziqian and Ning Xian'er get into the car.

Ling Ziqian was shot, and Yu Meiren couldn't help him, so she chose to come here first to settle this matter!

"Who shot my son?" Yu Meiren looked around at the many high-society people present, but she was not afraid at all.

Her heart was filled with anger!

Yu Meiren glanced around and her gaze fell on the man next to Ning Gang, who was still holding a gun.

With a cold expression, Yu Meiren strode towards the man.

She ignored everyone and strode forward as if no one was there!

She had an immense aura, and wherever she went, no one dared to utter a sound!
