The pain of having your wound clawed like this was far worse than being cut with the dagger.
Ling Yiran clenched her teeth desperately to endure the pain. She did not want the enemy to feel smug because of her pain and the people who cared about her to get upset over this.
However, the more she endured, the harder Gao Manlin dug her fingernails into her wounds with her free hand.
"Ling Yiran, aren't you smug? Aren't you trying to stand up for your best friend? Do you see the price of your actions now?" Gao Manlin asked viciously.
Ling Yiran kept breaking out in a cold sweat, her face ghastly pale from the pain and all the bleeding.
Qin Lianyi was already in tears when she saw the state her best friend was in. "Gao Manlin, Yiran is innocent! As you said, she was just helping me. I'm the one you're after, so go after me. You can torture me all you want, but stop doing that to Yiran..."
Qin Lianyi's pain only made Gao Manlin laugh. "If you want me to let her go, sure. Jump off the building and we'll call it even. I'll let her go if you do that!"
Qin Lianyi's body trembled as her eyes seemed to contain some determination. "You..."
"Lianyi, don't listen to her..." Ling Yiran said with difficulty. Every word she said would bring her unimaginable pain. "Lianyi... if you do... what she says, I’ll never forgive you, and... I’ll never forgive myself. Besides... do you really think... she'll let me go... after you jump?"
Qin Lianyi's tears poured out more violently. She hated herself for being so weak.
