Chapter 600: Chapter 597: For Her, He Can Kneel Down

Gu Siting’s men and Si Ye’s men immediately clashed.

For a moment, smoke from gunfire filled the air.

Si Ye was quite confident that Gu Siting’s men would definitely not return this time.

A confidant of Second Master Gong came over, "Young Master, the old man has already ordered the use of the new weapons, and soon the Presidential Residence will be destroyed!"

Si Ye felt some regret in his heart, if it were not absolutely necessary, he did not want the Presidential Residence to be destroyed.

But now that Gu Siting’s men had found their lair, he had to teach Gu Siting and the Presidential Residence a lesson.

"If it’s destroyed, so be it. When the time comes, I will build a new Presidential Residence myself."

If both the Presidential Residence and Gu Siting were gone, from then on, only their branch of the family would take over the Gong Family Clan.

Si Ye thought he had the situation well in hand, but in a few minutes, the confidant of Second Master Gong hurried back to report, "Young Master, it’s bad news, the chip you brought has a problem, the final program of the weapon cannot be initiated!"

Si Ye’s face changed dramatically, "How could this happen?"

"Si Ye, haven’t you realized yet? Your plan has been known to Gu Siting all along, how could he possibly let you get hold of the real chip?" Ming Yao, who was held hostage by Si Ye, reminded him with a clear and cold voice.

Si Ye’s face turned visibly darker at an observable speed.

"Gu, Si, Ting!"

Watching Si Ye with a sinister expression, Ming Yao frowned and said, "Surrender now!"

"Impossible!" Holding onto Ming Yao, Si Ye walked towards a cliff.

Gu Siting followed, and upon seeing Si Ye holding Ming Yao hostage, he called out sternly, "Si Ye, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. What kind of skill is it to hold a woman hostage?"

Si Ye ignored Gu Siting, until he brought Ming Yao to the edge of the cliff.

Below the cliff was an abyss thousands of feet deep. One more step back while holding Ming Yao, and both would fall down, shattering to pieces.

Looking back over her shoulder, Ming Yao, even though she kept reminding herself to be calm, found the cliff, open like the maw of a ferocious beast, terrifying and unnerving to behold.

It didn’t take long for Gu Siting to catch up.

Si Ye coldly tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Gu Siting, put down the weapon in your hand!"

Gu Siting looked behind Si Ye and saw that Si Ye, holding Ming Yao, was in the most dangerous position. If he took another step back, both of them could possibly fall off, a very dangerous situation.

Si Ye’s psyche had twisted; he had become a complete madman!

Gu Siting knew that this was not the time to further provoke him.

Gu Siting threw the gun on the ground and raised his hands, "I will be your hostage, let go of Ming Yao first."

Gu Siting was cunning and full of schemes; Si Ye wouldn’t trust him again.

"If you want Ming Yao to live, hand over the real chip!" Fury and madness showed in Si Ye’s eyes, "Preserve the Presidential Residence or Ming Yao, you choose one!"

Gu Siting’s dark eyes were as deep and dangerous as the sea under midnight, "Si Ye, the chip is not with me, you can’t get it now even if you want to. It’s better for you to let go of Ming Yao and take me hostage, maybe then you can still save your own life."

Lifting his head, Si Ye let out a cold laugh towards the sky, "Gu Siting, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. You want to save Ming Yao, fine, but first kneel down and kowtow to me three times!"

Hearing Si Ye’s words, Ming Yao’s pupils contracted slightly.

"Siting, don’t listen to Si Ye. Even if you kneel and kowtow a hundred times to him, he won’t let me go easily!"

Si Ye looked at Ming Yao, who could still keep a clear head even when death was imminent. With his large hand, he grabbed her hair fiercely. He was so strong that Ming Yao’s scalp felt almost torn off, and her face paled from the pain.

"Ming Yao, at a time like this, you still protect his male pride?" Si Ye’s voice was chilling.

Seeing Ming Yao’s hair cruelly yanked by Si Ye, Gu Siting’s heart clenched tight.

His well-defined features tense, sharp and fierce, "Si Ye, don’t hurt Ming Yao. I’ll kneel!"

"Gu Siting, a man’s knees are as precious as gold. Don’t kneel to such a person. He’s not worthy!" Ming Yao shook her head incessantly.

Seeing how Ming Yao protected Gu Siting, a hurt look flashed across Si Ye’s eyes.

He had truly given his heart to Ming Yao.

During the more than four years she and Gu Siting were apart, he had devoted himself to her, always rushing to her side whenever she needed him, no matter how far.

But the moment she was reunited with Gu Siting, her heart went right back to him.

It was Gu Siting who wanted to break up with her originally. He even married another woman, causing her four years of heartache.

Why was she so cheap? With just a beckon of his finger, she’d wag her tail and go right back to his side!

"Ming Yao, you love Gu Siting so much, but do you know who he really is?"

Realizing what Si Ye was about to divulge, Gu Siting’s face suddenly changed, "Si Ye, don’t drag Ming Yao into our grudges!"

A mocking smile appeared on Si Ye’s face, "What, are you afraid now?"

Ming Yao discerned the underlying meaning in Si Ye’s words, her brows furrowing tightly, "Si Ye, no matter what you say, you can’t drive a wedge between me and Gu Siting!"

"Hah," Si Ye glanced at Ming Yao as if looking at an idiot, "Ming Yao, haven’t you been investigating your parents’ death? Let me tell you now: your real surname is Shangguan, your father is Shangguan Xiao. The Shangguan family once helped the Presidential Residence conquer the land, but the Presidential Residence thought your family too powerful and threatened their rule, so they wiped out the entire Shangguan family."

"At that time, your father was still young. Old Lady Gong spared his life and had him fostered in the Nangong Family, but when he grew up, he still couldn’t escape death! That car accident, it was orchestrated by the grandfather of the man you love deeply!"

Hearing Si Ye’s words, Ming Yao’s pupils constricted violently.

She trembled uncontrollably, "You’re spouting nonsense. Do you think by saying this you can shake my relationship with Gu Siting?"

"Whether I’m talking nonsense, you can ask Gu Siting himself!" Si Ye glanced at Gu Siting, "If I’m not mistaken, he’s known about it all along, hasn’t he?"

Ming Yao knew Si Ye’s purpose in saying these things was to create conflict between her and Gu Siting. She wouldn’t fall for his trick.

"Siting, I won’t let myself become your weakness. On the yacht, you already helped me once. This time, I won’t become a threat to you."

In Ming Yao’s hands, unbeknownst to when, there appeared a sharp dagger. She lifted her hand and thrust it forcefully toward her own chest.

This scene unfolded too quickly. Si Ye’s pupils dilated, and as he realized what was happening, just as the tip of Ming Yao’s blade was about to pierce her chest, he managed to grab it in time.

At the same time, Ming Yao’s other hand swiftly flipped over, pulling out a long, thin Silver Needle, and she stabbed directly at the wrist of the hand Si Ye used to hold the gun.

Si Ye, realizing he had been outwitted by Ming Yao, was already too late to pick up the gun again.

Gu Siting fired a shot directly into his chest.
