Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Spent a Fortune

Since the rope couldn’t be worn down, they could only untie it manually.

Operating alone was indeed challenging, but with two people together, it was much easier.

They had to self-rescue!

Waiting for a rescue, who knew how long it would take?

And what unforeseen events might occur during that time?

All these were unpredictable risks, with no certainty.

Kuang Yu slowly moved closer, and when he was close enough, Lu Jing lay down and bit at the knot tied on Kuang Yu’s wrist with his teeth.

Hiss~

It wasn’t easy to bite through the knot for someone who wasn’t professionally trained.

After several bites, his cheeks started to ache.

But he didn’t have time to care about the pain, and he continued to bite.

After about fifteen minutes, the knot on Kuang Yu’s wrist finally came loose.

Lu Jing was overjoyed,

"Senior, we did it!"

Of course, Kuang Yu was also happy,

"Yes, junior sister, you are amazing."

With the rope untied, Kuang Yu quickly stood up, ready to untie Lu Jing’s bonds.

But, before he could even start, he was sternly rejected.

"Senior, you need to go now, climb out from the back."

Kuang Yu didn’t move,

"What about you?"

Lu Jing smiled,

"I can’t, I can’t make it, you might succeed if you go alone; if both of us try, neither of us will escape."

Indeed, Lu Jing, being a woman, was physically much weaker.

Not to mention, she was still affected by the ethanol in her body, not fully dissipated yet.

Furthermore, and this was even more important, the foreign man could enter to check at any time. If Lu Jing disappeared, with his capabilities, finding her would take no time at all.

So, it was safer not to take this risk. The best plan was to ensure one person remained safe!

Kuang Yu truly cared for Lu Jing and couldn’t bear to leave her.

"If you’re not leaving, then I’m not either. I’ll stay with you, let them do whatever they want," he said.

"Senior!" Lu Jing was extremely anxious.

"Senior, you need to go out and send a message!" she continued.

This snapped Kuang Yu back to reality,

"Then, I..."

"There’s no ’I’, just go quickly."

Kuang Yu hesitated for a long while before finally stretching his limbs,

"Junior sister, once I’m out, I’ll inform the police."

"Good."

Lu Jing finally had a response.

Kuang Yu’s technique for climbing through windows was fairly good, and since this was a second-story floor, jumping down without making much noise to alert the foreign man was crucial.

"Junior sister, I’m going now, take care. I will definitely bring the police to find you!"

"Good!"

Once Kuang Yu left, Lu Jing was the only one remaining in the half-finished building, the dim sky indicating that it was late.

She hadn’t realized it was so late!

...

Elsewhere, Jiang Ye had actually arrived a few minutes ago, and was observing the situation here through binoculars.

Various rescue plans flashed through his mind, but it seemed none were feasible.

No, he couldn’t be too reckless!

He hadn’t located the person hidden in the shadows, no doubt a sniper.

The enemy had put so much at stake, signifying something very important.

In the short term, they weren’t likely to harm the hostage severely.

After all, negotiations hadn’t even started!

Jiang Ye lay in tall grass roughly a person’s height, his breath nearly undetectable.

This was the result of special training, and even using instruments, one would hardly detect any sound.

As time ticked by, it was already eight in the evening.

The weather forecast had predicted rain tonight, so it was darker earlier than usual.
