ââ¦â
Ning Yananâs eyes moved a little, but the rest of her remained still.
Staring fixedly at the gun Dan Hanjie pressed against her forehead, his hoarse voice carried the bone-chilling cold as he articulated each word with deadly precision. âThree, two⦠â
Jiang Jinchen couldnât bear to look. He closed his eyes tightly.
When the final number was called, there was no sound of a gunshot.
Several seconds passed before a tension-filled Jiang Jinchen opened his eyes.
Before him, Dan Hanjie maintained his stoic, towering pose in front of Ning Yanan, his somber face devoid of expression, eyes deep and darkâ¦
The gun had been thrown aside.
âMost of Extreme Love Island is undeveloped and canât be left unless by helicopter. Even if she wants to leave, she needs someone to escort her out. If she goes to the wrong place, the consequences are unthinkable.â
Dan Hanjieâs voice paused, his gaze turned gloomy and deep as it fell onto Ning Yanan. Each word that followed seemed to be squeezed through gritted teeth. âConsider it my begging you, tell me where is she?â
ââ¦â
Ning Yananâs eyes widened in fear, her face paler than the moment Dan Hanjie pointed a gun at her.
She moved her finger, pointing in a certain direction.
It took a while before she found her voice again, âXuan didnât tell me where she was going, she just said she was leaving for a while, and she went that wayâ¦â
At her words, Dan Hanjie quickly turned and rushed in the direction Ning Yanan had pointed out.
âImmediately notify everyone on the island to begin a search centered here and spread out. Not a single area should be missed! â Jiang Jinchen crawled up from the ground and ordered solemnly.
Watching the bodyguards scatter to search, he dusted off the sand on his body and walked to Ning Yanan.
âHey, never thought youâd be so loyal, ready to die to keep secrets for a sister. If you had lost your bet just now, that bullet would have been drilled into your forehead â bang!â
Jiang Jinchen imitated the action of firing a gun, watching Ning Yananâs wide eyes.
ââ¦â
If she admitted to being terrified into stupidity and unable to react, Xuan would surely laugh at her.
âGet up already. If something were to happen to Qin Youxuan, I donât think your life will be guaranteed.â Jiang Jinchen glanced at her before he turned and walked away.
Ning Yanan, after being stunned for a few seconds, quickly got up from the ground.
Her legs gave way, and she reached out to grasp Jiang Jinchenâs arm, âIâm feeling weak. Can you support me?â
ââ¦â
Jiang Jinchen glanced at the hand gripping his arm, then looked up at Ning Yananâs white face, and paused.
He grabbed her hand and hoisted her onto his shoulder, then set off.

Nightfall was approaching.
The last ray of sunlight disappeared at the horizon. The sky turned gloomy.
The sea breeze wailed, stirring a dreadful chill.
âMr. Jie, the weather forecast predicts a heavy rainstorm tonight. If we donât leave now, it might be dangerous.â Yao, who was walking by Dan Hanjieâs side, reminded him with a solemn expression.
âOrder everyone to find her. If they canât find her, see if they dare to return!â Dan Hanjie grabbed the front of Yaoâs shirt and growled menacingly.
His resolute face bore only coldness.
âYesâ¦â
Yao managed to respond with difficulty.
He instructed his men to quickly search in the direction indicated by Ning Yanan.
Not long after, it began to rain.
A violent downpour started pouring suddenly.
Most of the island comprised mountainous terrain, which the rain left slippery and obliterated any traces of passage. The undeveloped areas were extremely difficult to traverse.
âMr. Jie, this area is uninhabited. Itâs too dangerous to go in.â
âOut of my way!â
