I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 679 Recognition

Chapter 679: Chapter 679 Recognition

Those who engage in illegal activities naturally wouldn’t fear the threats of the police, and the police currently didn’t have any solution either, only able to anxiously wait in place. Among them, a leader instructed the people below, if they really had to take action, to clear a path, we couldn’t gamble on who the hostage might be.

Even if it were an ordinary person, I wouldn’t let such a thing happen, a slight carelessness could lead to a family’s tears, let alone the fact that the person being held hostage was the most privileged -- that’s Mr. Zhang Xu we’re talking about. If anything happened, it’s highly likely that we would all lose our jobs, and it might even become difficult to simply survive. So, no matter what, we have to ensure Mr. Zhang Xu’s safety first,

and everything else should be put aside, got it? Even if we can’t catch those few people, it doesn’t matter, and the same goes for any criminal evidence, the most important thing is still this. Have you all remembered that?" The officer quietly reminded them on the side.

Hoping that those below would take his words to heart, so they would avoid complete ruination. With that thought, he felt more at ease. The second brother, particularly proud, raised an eyebrow, knowing that the police were still somewhat apprehensive, not daring to move directly against them, which delighted him. However, this delight was soon spoiled by someone else.

Because something appeared above him, he looked up and seemed to see the bar owner, whom they had wanted to visit for a long time, but there had never been a chance; he hadn’t expected that such a visit would happen under these circumstances.

They had a special admiration for the bar owner, who had come up with such a great business idea and had actually made it happen, allowing them to enjoy such pleasure. However, it was never quite the right time to meet, because the owner was always out.

So they could only wait there all the time, and now that the opportunity had finally come, but it was in such a situation where they ruined the other party’s place, they really felt a bit embarrassed.

The second brother held the person above in high regard, so his mood improved a lot, and he spoke, "We didn’t intend to deliberately cause trouble for you today. It’s just that we passed by here and this incident happened, and we are very sorry about it. We will compensate you generously later on, and we hope you can make it easy for us."

After saying this, he gestured to the person above, hoping they would understand. Shen Dong raised an eyebrow. Regardless of what happened next, his bar definitely wouldn’t be able to return to its former state, and there would surely be retribution from Mr. Zhang Xu. By that time, Mr. Zhang Xu probably wouldn’t be able to come out for a while.

It really hinders business, Shen Do thought bitterly, and his only wish for those people was to capture them alive because they needed to be delivered to the Zhang Family for some venting, so that resentment wouldn’t be directed entirely at his bar. His bar was a small temple and couldn’t withstand that.

"Brother, since you’ve chosen to patronize our bar, you must like everything about it. I don’t know why you had to cause this disruption today. Don’t you know what kind of impact this will have on our bar? I believe you know, but you still chose to do it anyway, which in the end shows you don’t value our bar enough.

Here’s what we’ll do: release Mr. Zhang, and from now on, whatever you eat or drink at our bar, I’ll cover it all for you, just to make your acquaintance. How about that? I don’t know if you are willing to do so, and I hope everyone can avoid an outright confrontation, so let all these police and such go back home and not block our way anymore.

If you think that’s a good deal, I will have the police leave right away," Shen Dong said from above, trying his best to soothe the kidnappers’ emotions. Mr. Zhang Xu looked disdainful, feeling that it seemed the bar owner was the guy above after all, just standing there without any real capability.

He thought this was just a stroke of good luck that helped create the bar, and although he felt this way, he didn’t show it because he had to bow his head under the eaves. Now, the only person who might save him was the bar owner upstairs, and the kidnapper seemed willing to be cooperative, which must have pleased them.

The police hadn’t expected there to be a chance to turn this situation around. If the bar owner was willing to simplify this matter, that would be for the best. But letting them go wasn’t out of the question, once they allowed the criminals to leave, they could directly apprehend them.

That would work too, and it wouldn’t implicate anyone inside the bar, nor would anyone suffer from the expert’s revenge. In that case, it couldn’t be better.

"Heh, we meant no offense, but we’ve already come this far and we certainly can’t just stop here. If you need to blame someone, blame your sharpness for arranging for someone to watch us right away, preventing us from causing this big of a scene. In the end, it’s you, the boss, who lacks loyalty. If we had known, why bother in the first place?

We hope that you, the boss, will remember what happened today as a lesson: that in the future, you shouldn’t act carelessly or keep such a close eye on others, as this can breed great suspicion." After saying this, they looked at the police smilingly, hoping that the police would step back on their own, so they wouldn’t have to do anything extra.

"I just want you to let the people go," Shen Dong said from above, his eyes fixed on the people below, but what he saw most directly was Lin Qi.

Lin Qi should be pretty calm herself, facing this situation hoping the other side wouldn’t panic, wouldn’t fall into disarray, and still needed to use her clever brain to figure out an escape.

Lin Qi wasn’t being watched by the others and felt quite free to do as she pleased, except that she couldn’t break out of the encirclement. So she thought about how she could help Shen Dong.

The people below seemed to notice her gesture, looked at Lin Qi, and said with a smile, "Bar owner, you’re not just doing this for that little lady, are you? If you like her, just say it straight. We aren’t the type to refuse you; after all, she works at your bar, and how could we have the heart to hold her back? We’ll do you the favor.

But while we can let someone go, you can only choose one: who will it be? Will it be Mr. Zhang Xu, the more valuable hostage, or this little lady? I’m very curious about your choice."
