Life or Death (10)

"Huo Mian, you're… so good to Su Yu."

Jack didn't sound ironic or contemptuous; he seemed to be stating a fact.

Maybe Huo Mian's act astonished him, too. The woman could always surprise him.

"Huo Mian, stand up… What are you doing? You want me to kill myself before you?"

Su Yu was burning with rage. He swore if Huo Mian wasn't pregnant, he'd slap her hard. What was she doing? 

Ignoring Su Yu, Huo Mian continued to beg Jack.

"I don't want to drag my friend into the feud between us. Please let him go… Or I'll poison myself and die here. I'm afraid you'll fail your mission if I die because your master doesn't want me dead yet; I'm still useful to her…"

As Jack remained silent, Huo Mian issued the ultimatum with a white pill in her hand.

"Okay."

Jack said almost without thinking.

"Then get Su Yu out of here. I want to see him leave…" Huo Mian asked.
