Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 985: There’s No Escape

However, the more she tried to intimidate, the louder the baby cried, its whole little face turning red from the wails.

Ji Wei felt her heart almost shatter as she strained every muscle to crawl forward, finally reaching out to touch Zhu Jianian’s trouser hem. Inch by inch, she painstakingly stretched her hand and tightly grabbed onto her calf.

At this moment, Ji Wei was exceedingly weak, sweat streaming down her forehead and soaking the fine hairs at her temple. She bit her pale lips hard and gasped, "Don’t involve the child in our grudges, she is innocent..."

"Innocent?" Zhu Jianian sneered as if she had heard a funny joke, arrogantly grinning: "She is your and Mr. Gu’s child, how can she be innocent? I’ll strangle her right now to quench my heart’s hatred!"

Zhu Jianian’s facial expression twisted as she menacingly stretched out her hand, slowly approaching the baby’s neck.

The newborn was frail and weak, its neck utterly fragile, barely able to withstand a grasp!

"No!"

In terror, Ji Wei shouted, using all her strength to lunge forward and bite onto Zhu Jianian’s leg.

Zhu Jianian cried out in pain and kicked her in the chest.

The severe thud resonated in her chest, Ji Wei groaned, almost biting her lips purple, as she clutched tightly onto Zhu Jianian’s leg, refusing to let go.

"Let go of me!"

Zhu Jianian kicked her with even more rampant fervor, each kick imbued with malice.

Ji Wei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the crimson thread startling against her pale lips. Her already weakened body couldn’t withstand the torment, and she instinctively felt her vision darken, realizing she couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Yet, her hands seemed rooted onto Zhu Jianian’s leg, refusing to let go no matter what.

Zhu Jianian was thoroughly enraged, "Not letting go, huh? I can still strangle your daughter!"

Coming here today, she only had one insane thought, and that was revenge.

Arson at the Gu Building coupled with impersonating medical staff to mix into the delivery room, these charges were enough to keep her forever imprisoned, so what did it matter to add a murder charge?

Anyway, she had nothing left to lose, even if she had to drag someone down to Hell with her!

Sensing that Zhu Jianian genuinely harbored murderous intent, Ji Wei’s heart painfully constricted.

But she wouldn’t allow the tragedy to repeat, having lost a child in her past life, she’d fight to her death to protect her daughter this time!

Suddenly, Ji Wei, crouched at her feet, gathered her strength, arching her body and crashing heavily into Zhu Jianian.

The two fell to the ground together, Zhu Jianian collapsing like her body was breaking into pieces, and the baby slipped from her arms, falling to the side.

The frightened baby cried more intensely, yet fortunately, the cloth wrapping her was thick, leaving her unharmed and without bleeding.

Ji Wei’s face lit up with joy as she struggled to crawl toward her daughter, but Zhu Jianian suddenly grabbed her hair, slamming her viciously onto the ground.

Before she could struggle to stand up, Ji Wei saw Zhu Jianian suddenly holding an iron medical tool in her hand.

"Die!"

Zhu Jianian viciously screamed, and swung it down hard toward Ji Wei’s head.

Ji Wei tried to dodge, but she was one step too slow. Struck, her head gushed with blood, and an intense dizziness almost caused her to faint, accompanied by roaring noises in her ears.

Blood streamed continuously down her forehead, her vision turning blurry...

Zhu Jianian stood up, slowly grinning. Watching the woman on the ground who could no longer resist, her bloodthirsty demeanor resembled a demon.

Her blood-drenched vision was a swirl of red, and through the blur, Ji Wei saw Zhu Jianian raising the heavy object in her hand once more.

No escape.

This time, surely she was going to die, right? Ji Wei thought in despair.
