The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 103: If I die, you must die too

"Are you overthinking things? As long as you haven’t done anything like murder or arson, why would the police deliberately want you dead?" Jiang Nuo tried to buy more time.

"But I happen to have done all of those things!"

"Maybe you could turn yourself in for leniency?" Jiang Nuo suggested.

"And then let you go?"

Jiang Nuo didn’t dare respond. Of course, he had thought of it, but the problem was, would he be let go?

Meanwhile, Jiang Nuo was also frustrated. Why hadn’t the police found him yet? Although he wasn’t someone particularly important, he was still a highly influential public figure; surely, they’d be trying their hardest to find him?

Jiang Nuo had forgotten one possibility, which was that precisely because he was a public figure with great influence, news of his disappearance was suppressed immediately to prevent public panic.

Jiang Nuo had just gone to the restroom and hadn’t come out for a long time. Mu Nan, eager to shoot his scenes, sent a staff member to check.

This check led to a big problem—Jiang Nuo was missing?!

Outside the restroom, they found his phone. Before the screen went dark, he had been interacting with fans on Weibo.

Mu Nan, without a word, called the police.

The police checked the nearby surveillance and soon discovered several suspects carrying away a burlap sack large enough to hold an adult from the filming site. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Mu Qiuniang’s face was particularly grim: despite being the renowned "Ghost Fret" fairy—Mu Qiu, a few ordinary people had kidnapped her husband right under her nose.

Damn it!

Were all those amulets she made for her husband just for show?

If it hadn’t been for this incident, she wouldn’t have realized that the amulets she gave Jiang Nuo only activated when his life was threatened.

In cases like this non-life-threatening kidnapping, the amulets were useless.

She seemed to overlook that most incidents in this world are non-life-threatening accidents, like kidnappings or disabilities.

Fortunately, when they got married, she had given Jiang Nuo a wedding ring with amulet, luck, and tracking features (she despised the ring Jiang Nuo gave her because it was only decorative), which allowed her to locate Jiang Nuo immediately; otherwise, she would have been angry to the point of spitting blood.

If she had to wait until Jiang Nuo was in life-threatening danger to find him, how much suffering would he endure by the time she got to him?

Mu Qiuniang arrived and concealed her presence, wanting to see how Jiang Nuo was doing and who had taken him.

Then, she saw Jiang Nuo earnestly trying to persuade the person to "put down the butcher’s knife and immediately become a Buddha."

Mu Qiuniang’s reaction was: "..."

Was she usually overprotecting him? Otherwise, how could he still do such a foolish thing?

"Jiang Nuo, you talk so much; at the end of the day, you’re just afraid of dying. Fine. Now I’ll give you a chance," Li Congsheng said with a cold smile.

"What kind of chance?"

"Between you and him, only one of you can leave here alive," Li Congsheng pointed to the boy lying on the ground.

Boy: "..." What did I ever do to deserve this?

Jiang Nuo looked at the boy and then at Li Congsheng, "He’s just a child!"

"So, you can choose to let him live." The words coming out of Li Congsheng’s mouth were so cold and heartless.

Jiang Nuo said, "Can’t there be a third option?"

"No."

"We can actually discuss this..." Jiang Nuo said.

Unfortunately, Li Congsheng had no patience for his nonsense: "Results will be checked in 10 minutes. If he’s still alive, then you die."

He had them both dragged away.

They were thrown into a small dark room without windows, with only a single bleak incandescent bulb.

After they closed the door and left, the boy said, "Idol, you know, I’ve always liked you. My biggest wish was to have a meal with you someday, but it’s a pity that’s not going to happen now."

"It’s not over yet; don’t say such discouraging things. Trust me, both of us will get out of here alive," Jiang Nuo stared at the boy, trying to instill his confidence in him.

The boy shook his head, "Idol, if only one person can survive, I hope it’s you. I know you won’t do it, so later I’ll die willingly. Besides, even if I get out, I won’t have much time left..."

"You can’t be so pessimistic. What do you mean you won’t live long even if you get out? I know you’re seriously injured now, but don’t worry. Once we’re out, I will make sure you see the best doctors, and you’ll definitely be completely healthy."

"No," the boy continued, "I have a disease, one I’ve had since birth, that can’t be cured. My parents have consulted many renowned doctors both domestically and abroad; they’ve all seen me, but there’s no use. I won’t live past 18..."

"What disease?" Jiang Nuo was utterly surprised.

Mu Qiuniang, hidden in the shadows, was equally astonished. When she first saw this boy, though surrounded by some dark aura, he was enveloped in a harmonious purple energy, which the darkness couldn’t harm at all.

Moreover, he had the fate of being someone else’s benefactor; his life was destined to frequently encounter benefactors, turning misfortunes into blessings.

Therefore, Mu Qiuniang never expected this boy to claim he wouldn’t live past 18.

Upon closer inspection, Mu Qiuniang realized that although the boy was a benefactor by fate, this destiny was so blessed that he was born into wealth, constantly meeting benefactors throughout his life, yet fate destined him for a catastrophe, which he had to overcome to smoothly sail through life.

The boy’s destined catastrophe, starting from his birth, was that there weren’t any major calamities, but small calamities kept happening, and there was no apparent reason. However, he wouldn’t live past 18.

Unless he met a benefactor.

This benefactor was bound to be extraordinary.

Mu Qiuniang tried to calculate, but could not determine who this benefactor could be.

Could it be that she was his benefactor?

Calculating heaven and earth, immortals do not calculate themselves, let alone the fact that Mu Qiuniang was not yet an immortal. Since she couldn’t find out who the benefactor was, it meant either the benefactor was above her or the benefactor was herself.

She could indeed help the boy through this catastrophe in his fate.

Jiang Nuo was still comforting the boy, saying that no matter what, as long as it wasn’t the last moment, one shouldn’t give up. How can fate be clearly explained? Who knows what will happen at that moment?

Mu Qiuniang activated the array she had set up upon arrival and swaggered into the "small dark room."

"Wife?!" Jiang Nuo looked up and was startled, "Wife, you got caught too?! That Li Congsheng is truly too much. Wife, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you later..."

He hurriedly shielded Mu Qiuniang behind him.

Mu Qiuniang: "..."

Boy: "..."

Mu Qiuniang patted Jiang Nuo’s shoulder, "I wasn’t captured; I’ve come to rescue you."

"Really?! Wife, I knew it, you’re the best!"
