Lin Qingan looked at Ashley in extreme shock.

Her face, after Ashley said the word "Huo Zhen", suddenly lost all blood.

However, Ashley's Chinese words are correct and round, and it is unlikely that Lin Qingan even wants to pretend to hear it wrong.

Those two words......

How would he know......

Lin Qing'an's eyes were pitch black, slightly drooping in the darkness, she carefully adjusted her breathing, all the ups and downs of her heart, all the heavens and the earth...... All turned into a casual wry smile.

Lin Qing'an pretended not to notice that her hands holding the little red bean trembled incomparably, she looked at Ashley with a malicious smile on her lips with a calm and pale face, and said lightly: "Mr. Ashley is really well-informed. ”

After a pause, Lin Qingan said calmly: "Since Mr. Ashley knows about Huo Zhen's existence, he should know that I don't want to have anything to do with that man anymore." ”

Since Ashley can find out that she is not "An Xia", but "Lin Qingan", then ...... When he found out the news about Huo Zhen, it shouldn't be as difficult as Lin Qingan thought at the beginning......

With a wry smile, regretting his rashness, Lin Qingan gently patted the back of the little red bean in his arms.

She's not in a hurry, and she's not afraid.

Even though her son is now being held in the arms of this man who describes him as demonic, Lin Qingan has an indescribable intuition-

Lin Qing'an looked at Ashley and asked him softly, "Then what is your intention?" ”

If someone else heard Lin Qing'an's words, they would definitely think that Lin Qing'an was crazy.

Ashley still had a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control after he threw out the words "Huo Zhen". But Lin Qingan was only stunned for a moment at first, and then regained her composure.

Even, her brain raced, throwing a question at Ashley.

No matter how good Ah Xili's hands and eyes are, it is impossible to know that the relationship between Lin Qingan and Huo Zhen is so complicated that even Lin Qingan himself wants to smile bitterly.

At most, he knew that Lin Qingan was originally Huo Zhen's wife, and later conceived Huo Zhen's child, changed her face, crossed the ocean, and lived in another country.

Ashley's eyes shone with a green glow, like a medieval legend lurking at the bottom of the sea, tempting the Sirens of passing ships with a heavenly voice: "I want that ruby ring." It's a pity that Mr. Huo refuses to part with his love. ”

Lin Qing'an suddenly realized.

That ruby ring is an heirloom left by Lin Qing'an's grandmother's family. It's not just one ring, it's a whole set. It's just that it seems that the man in front of him doesn't know this secret, and only wants this ruby ring......

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Trist would have wanted to buy this ring as well. You killed him, not only because of Li Guiqiu's commission, but also because he wanted to compete with you for this ring? ”

Lin Qing'an said coldly.

Ashley smiled, he propped up one of his long legs, and sat on the ground with the sleeping little Xinghe in his arms without care: "Not bad." This ring was a must-have for me and for him. The only thing I didn't expect was ...... You're the seller, and your husband is in the middle of it. ”

Lin Qing'an closed her eyes, and she tentatively spoke: "Huo Zhen is a businessman. As long as you pay the price that satisfies him, he will do whatever business with you. If you can't negotiate a deal with him, it only proves that you are not asking a high enough price. ”

Ashley listened to Lin Qing'an's words, and sighed lowly: "My price has increased from two times to five times, and it is even enough to buy the hotel where he stays." But Mr. Huo was still unmoved. ”

Ashley's eyes flashed, and she smiled and looked at Lin Qing'an, who was still slender in the dark: "Isn't Miss Lin curious, what makes a man so stubborn?" ”

Lin Qingan's heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly alive. She paused and said coldly, "No matter what the reason is, it must have nothing to do with me." ”

Ashley finally laughed out loud.

He laughed as if he had heard something interesting, and laughed out loud in the dark and secluded underground space.

Lin Qing got goosebumps all over her body.

She knows that the one who can be a killer may not be a normal person.

"Miss Lin, the person who is pressing step by step now should be me."

Ashley finally stopped his creepy laughter, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes because of laughter, and looked straight at Lin Qing'an: "It belongs to the morning after the morning sun rises...... This is where a round of indiscriminate purges begins. As long as they were at the scene of the assassination, Li Guiqiu would kill them at all costs. ”

"It's none of my business."

Lin Qingan said calmly.

Her eyes never left the little galaxy in Ashley's arms.

Holding Lin Qing'an's son in his hand, Ashley is equivalent to holding the most powerful bargaining chip against Lin Qingan.

But even if he knew it, he might have to agree to the conditions of the demonic man in front of him...... Lin Qingan still didn't want to give in cowardly.

"Of course it's about you."

Ashley smiled: "Miss Lin, I want the ruby ring on Huo Zhen's hand." As you can see, this ruby ring is extremely precious to me. Just as the sleeping baby in my arms is to you......"

It's still coming.

Lin Qingan silently swallowed this evil breath in her heart, and said with a calm face: "Could it be that as long as you have this ruby ring, you can escape Li Guiqiu's pursuit?" No matter how angry she is, is it the leader of the mafia? Is there really that much energy to kill so many people for revenge? ”

Li Guiqiu is nothing more than a doctor in an underground casino exclusive to the mafia. Even if she was the mistress of a lord and had a lot to do with the mafia...... But Li Guiqiu's ability is really that great?

Lin Qingan didn't believe it.

Ashley's beautiful face seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

He flexed his slender fingers and said lightly, "It's roughly the same as you guessed." You don't need to know that much, either. I'll give you three days to get the ruby ring I want from Huo Zhen. Of course, I'm not as cruel as you think, and I still have a child left for you. As for the fate of the other child......"

He smiled maliciously: "It's still in your hands." ”

Lin Qing'an looked coldly at Ashley, who was only three steps away from her.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about snatching her son back from Ashley's hands.

But she had just given birth a few days ago, and to put it mildly, she had almost exhausted all her physical strength when she walked here with Ashley. At this moment, the laceration wound on her lower body was still faintly painful, but she was holding on.

Not to mention, Lin Qingan has not learned any combat skills at all. No matter how great her mother's love is, Lin Qing'an at this moment is just a powerless mother.

After Ashley finished speaking, slender fingers gently slid over Xinghe's sleeping little face, if only looking at the warmth in Ashley's eyes, no one would believe that he would use the fate of this child as a bargaining chip to threaten a woman.

"You're such a scumbag."

Lin Qing'an's tone was calm, but there were bursts of throbbing pain from the corners of her forehead.

Do you really want to see Huo Zhen?

She will never forget the cold operating table, Huo Zhen's cold and disgusted eyes.

He looked down at her condescendingly, and said in a tone of contempt and disgust, "Kill the fetus, remove her womb." ”

A man who can say such a thing...... Lin Qingan lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

She had already tried her best to escape from Huo Zhen's men......

Now, do you want to go back to him for the sake of the child's life?

"Ashley, even if I really go to see Huo Zhen and tell him that the child's life is related to the ruby ring, he may not compromise as you guessed."

Lin Qing'an closed her eyes and tried to persuade Ashley: "If I hadn't been with Huo Zhen to the point of never dying, I wouldn't have fled here with a different identity to start over." Since you can find out who I was, can't you guess that our relationship is extremely bad? ”

Ashley raised her eyebrows absently, "I don't care what means you use. I only care about the result. If he cares about you and your children, then I can get this ruby ring; If he doesn't care about your child...... I was only delayed for three days. For me, it doesn't matter. ”

His tone was cold and playful, and he didn't take the life of the baby he was holding tenderly in his arms seriously.

And Lin Qingan finally realized in despair that reasoning with the killer would not work.

"Why do you have to have that ruby ring?"

Lin Qingan accepted her fate, but there was one thing she had to figure out.

She pondered her words: "This ruby ring is an heirloom from my grandmother's family, there are no obvious secrets, and the color is not perfect. If it weren't for my exhaustion, I wouldn't have put this ruby ring up for auction. Why do you and Lord Trist value this ruby ring so much? ”

Ashley yawned, "When I get the ruby ring, if I'm in a good mood, I'll probably tell you, Miss Lin." ”

He stood up, his hand movements light and gentle: "Rest well, keep walking." ”

Lin Qing'an blushed and helplessly followed behind Ashley, continuing to walk forward in the dark underground corridor.

I don't know how much sin I committed in my previous life, and I have to meet so many evil gods in this life.

What bad luck, phew, bad luck!

Lin Qingan didn't know how long he had been walking in the dark, and finally a spiraling staircase appeared in front of him.

She stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the upward light from the flashlight on her phone, and felt dizzy for a while.

This staircase is really too high.

"Is it high?"

Ashley had already climbed up with Xinghe in his arms, looked back at Lin Qing'an holding the little red bean standing in place, hesitated, and said lightly: "You have to climb by yourself." I don't think you're willing to give me both children. ”

He was telling the truth.

Lin Qingan gritted her teeth, dragged her heavy steps and sore arms, and took a step forward.
