Chapter 42
Ji Ming’s Perspective (Part 5)
When the call finally connected, my heartbeat slightly calmed down.
But I still failed to protect her.
I was willing to pay whatever ransom the kidnappers demanded, but they insisted I go alone.

Only after everything was arranged according to the police’s plan did I dare to walk towards him alone.
He threatened me with her, demanding I kneel, and I did.
He spouted those insane ramblings, condemning my parents’ misdeeds.
It’s unfair that she has to bear the consequences of my parents’ mistakes.
I’m an unfilial son; when the explosion happened, all I could think about was her.

I don’t know why she suddenly ran back.
I couldn’t catch her; she was knocked unconscious by the blast, and her exposed skin was burned.
