    🌿🌿A tragic romance with a bad ending. "President, Madam is dead." Zhou Yansheng had just fallen asleep on the hospital bed when he received the call from Assistant Li. "What did you say?" His voice was hoarse. Assistant Li repeated, "Madam... She's dead." Zhou Yansheng froze for a few seconds. Last night, he went to ransom the family with a ransom of 100 million. The kidnappers demanded he choose between his wife, Xu Sisi, and his beloved Xu Xiaonuan. The two were each hanging from a large tree on the edge of a cliff. Below them, the turbulent, bottomless Minjiang River flowed. Zhou Yansheng offered to go back and get another 100 million to ensure their safety. But the kidnappers, fearing complications, only wanted the 100 million ransom and forced him to choose one to save on the spot. He hesitated for less than ten seconds before saying, "I choose Xu Xiaonuan."
