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.
Her heart sank when she heard what Gao Manlin said. It verified her premonition.
"I want you to take off all your clothes and show your men their boss' body. Hahaha, they all say that Shen City's Young Master Yi is known for his good looks. It seems that not just many of Shen City's socialites are in love with you but some men too."
Gao Manlin changed her tone and said, "I wonder if you're going to keep or kill these subordinates after they see you naked when this is over, Young Master Yi? After all, their existence will remind you of the humiliation you suffered today!"
Her words were biting, driving Yi Jinli and his subordinates into the corner.
