Chapter 1060: Either You Die Or She Dies

“Ha. Why?”
“I don’t like girls.”
Lin Che said, “I’m anxious about your future now that you’ve said this. You don’t hate your younger sister just because the girl you liked became your younger sister, right?”
Gu Shinian’s ears turned slightly red. “Childish.”
However, Lin Che took note of this and instinctively laughed even more.
Gu Shinian was really similar to his father. His ears would turn red first when he was embarrassed.
Lin Che said to Gu Shinian, “Niannian, I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet. It’s not something I can control either. Be a bit more open-minded too. If it really is a girl, I can only say that you have bad luck. You really can’t say you don’t want her around because no matter what, she’s your younger sister.”
Gu Shinian sighed, looking as if he had nothing else to live for in life.
Lin Che said, “I haven’t asked you yet. After returning to C Nation, what do you think of it? Do you think this place is better, or do you prefer Seattle?”
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Gu Shinian said.
Lin Che looked at him. “You can’t put it like that either. Do you feel happier living here or living there?”
Gu Shinian mulled over it and said, “It’s different. In Seattle, I can go out anytime to play, but here, I have quite a lot of people following me around, so it’s not very convenient. But over here, there are many people to play with me. In Seattle, it’s just Yunyun. I think that if you add everything up, they’re about the same, so there’s nothing for me to compare too.”
Lin Che smiled and patted him. “Well then, is your relationship with the other children in the kindergarten good?”
“Very good. But sometimes, they’re afraid of me.” Gu Shinian continued, “Yunyun is the only one not afraid of me, but Yunyun doesn’t play computer games, so it’s better for you to give birth to a younger brother. All younger sisters don’t know how to play with computers.”
Lin Che felt a little sad as well.
Those children in his kindergarten were probably afraid of him because of who he was. Although they would envy him and would play with him, they may not trust him genuinely. Seeing that he had so many people trailing after him, it was likely that they felt that he was different from them.
But this child was definitely going to be different from the majority of people in the future. Lin Che could only hope that he could live an ordinary life while he was young because it may really be impossible for him to return to an ordinary life in the future even if he wanted to.
In comparison, Niannian was smarter than she was. He knew that there were advantages and disadvantages to everything. Seattle had its good points and C Nation had its good qualities too. They could not be compared on equal terms. But Lin Che was a little idealistic and wanted the best of both worlds.
Lin Che felt that in some aspects, she had to learn from Niannian.

Meanwhile…
Yun Kuoshan asked, “The news of Madam President’s disappearance hasn’t even gotten out?”
“Yes. The Gu family suppressed the news.”
“Fine, fine. But it won’t be easy to let others find out about this for the time being. What about Lin Che? Is she still at home and resting?”
“Yes. It seems that Lin Che still doesn’t know about Yu Minmin’s disappearance.”
“Ha…” Yun Kuoshan smiled and said, “Very good, very good. Get someone to show Lin Che photos of Yu Minmin and tell her that Yu Minmin is still alive, but she may not be alive for much longer.”
Lin Che, Lin Che…
At the root of it, she was the reason that the Yun family had fallen to its present state.
How could the Yun family let her off, let her live so blissfully, and become the matriarch of the Gu family so easily?

Lin Che was still lying down at home and resting. But her phone suddenly vibrated.
She froze. She tapped on her phone and saw that someone had sent her some photos for no reason.
She felt a deep sense of uneasiness. With a bad feeling, she swiped open her phone hesitatingly.
The photos inside were of…
Yu Minmin!
Yu Minmin lay there in a drowsy state.
Yu Minmin’s stomach.
There was a knife placed in front of Yu Minmin’s stomach.
What did this mean?
Lin Che looked at the knife blade before looking at her stomach. A chill ran through her heart for a moment.
Wasn’t this a blatant threat? What were they going to do with Yu Minmin? What were they going to do to her stomach?
When had these photos been taken? Were they contemporaneous photos?
What exactly had happened to Yu Minmin?
Just then, her phone rang.
As Lin Che looked at her phone, the sense of uneasiness in her heart intensified even more.
She subconsciously felt that this call would not be a simple one.
But when she thought of those ghastly photos… she had no choice but to answer the call immediately.
“I guess you saw the photos.” The voice on the phone was low and terrifying.
“Who are you? What are you trying to do? Just tell me what your objective is.”
“Great. Straightforward people speak frankly. Come out now and I’ll take you to her. Come alone. Otherwise, you know that even if she can take the pain, the child in her stomach may not be able to do the same. Think about it on your own.”
Lin Che’s heart wrenched.
Because she was also pregnant now, of course, she knew the feeling.
The child was the most fragile, especially at a time like this.
Lin Che responded, “If I go with you, wouldn’t I be handing my own life over to you? I’m not that stupid. If you really wanted to kill Minmin, you wouldn’t be keeping her alive right now.”
“Yes. You’re right. We won’t kill Madam President right now. Of course, her name is very useful. But as I said, she may be able to take the torture, but the child in her womb may not be able to. I can definitely keep her alive but get rid of the child in her womb, holding only her hostage. Or, I could kill her but take the child out beforehand. Aren’t both options viable?”
“You…”
Lin Che could not believe how these people could be so cruel.
But she was also aware that these people were definitely not ordinary kidnappers. They were absolutely not afraid of death either. They used brutal methods and could forsake everything for profit.
Because there was a possibility that this was not related to a personal grudge but to national affairs.
Thus, they could definitely be unscrupulous and brutal too.
Good lord. Minmin was in such danger. What should she do…
Closing her eyes, Lin Che could only respond, “Fine. What do you want me to do?”
“Just walk out of the Gu residence.”
Lin Che did not have any other choice. She could not think of anything else except Yu Minmin’s safety at the moment.
She could not watch them slice Yu Minmin’s womb open.
She found it cruel, just thinking about it. If it really happened…
She could not take that risk.
As for herself…
If something actually happened to her, Gu Jingze would probably be sad for a long time.
But fortunately, she had already left Niannian to Gu Jingze.
Even if she died, Niannian would be on his mind. For Niannian’s sake, he would probably live on.
She did not leave anything behind. After thinking for some time, she left a few photos of Yu Minmin here. After that, she drew in a deep breath and walked out alone.
“Madam, is something wrong?”
“No. No need to follow me. I’ll get Dongzi and the rest to come with me,” she said to the maids at the doorway.
