I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 682: Who to Save?

Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Who to Save?

"That’s easy enough, Mr. Shen, but what I’m more curious about right now is who you would choose if you had to. Would it be your old major customer, or the dancer you’re with currently? I’m actually quite curious about your love story, so why don’t you just tell me directly?

If you tell me, I can also think about whether or not to let him go. It doesn’t seem great to persist like this, does it? Look at all these people surrounding us and taking pictures. You don’t want to keep this up, do you? Your bar business will get harder and harder. I only come here occasionally, though I must say it’s quite fun and I wouldn’t want it to be demolished.

But if you’re not willing to cooperate, then there’s nothing I can do. If you’re willing to cooperate now, we still have things we can talk about. If you’re not, then we can only keep this standoff going. It might end with your bar drawing the rage of countless people until it’s destroyed. Such a good idea wasted just like that.

You must be pretty unwilling to accept this. In the future, surely many new stars will follow your lead. Then guess how many people will remember your name? Young man, I advise you to be wise and take the opportunity now. I’m giving you one more chance. I don’t want to see you ruined, so that’s why I’m offering this chance. Isn’t that right?"

The lieutenant said this line purposefully, though in his heart he just wanted to watch the drama unfold—he wasn’t really thinking that much. He also wanted to see them pushing blame onto each other, probably his only pleasure. As if making a choice now would ruin everything—that was impossible, considering the police had already surrounded them today.

This had already damaged the bar’s reputation. Who would want to come here for a drink after this? Very few, most certainly, and that meant their goal was achieved. The lieutenant was quite happy, seeing how his power could simply destroy this bar with a few tricks.

The thought of boasting about this for a lifetime was delightful, although he’d need to be alive to do so. Looking at those police officers, he felt sure they wouldn’t let them leave so easily. So what could be done?

A detailed plan was already taking shape in the lieutenant’s mind. While Zhang Xu was desperately pleading, and the lieutenant was engrossed in his own thoughts, with everyone’s attention fixed on him, nobody noticed Lin Qi quietly pulling out a very delicate small knife from her sleeve, and in a swift movement, she had taken the lieutenant hostage.

The action was so quick that no one had time to react, and chaos ensued. Lin Qi was quick and very strong.

The scene was chaotic; no one expected that the assailant would be such a delicate woman. The lieutenant was a bit flustered, but having dealt with the dark forces all his life, how could he fear a mere woman?

He felt sure this woman wouldn’t dare to act, so he deliberately struggled, hoping to frighten her into letting him go or just cause a minor injury to himself, after which she would probably release him. He thought to himself, ’Indeed, this is the woman Mr. Shen likes, even her way of breaking through a siege is different from others.’

Anyone else might already be in tears, begging Shen Dong to save her, but this woman insisted on finding her own way out, suddenly wielding a knife and appearing atop the lieutenant. He found it very interesting and thought that if he could take her back with him, life would certainly not be so dull.

"Everyone back off and release the people, or else you will all die here. I guarantee that if the lieutenant dies, you all will be like headless flies. Even if you want to kill me, I will have solved a huge problem for the people. In that case, I will die a worthy death. I am not afraid of death—if you don’t believe me, just try it. First, let Zhang Xu go."

Lin Qi’s gaze was so firm as she uttered these words, her tone so resolute, that no one doubted she was serious. Shen Dong, watching this thrilling scene from above, couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth. Lin Qi definitely had a way. It wasn’t for nothing that he had been stalling, allowing Lin Qi to regain her strength and figure out what to do.

After collecting her thoughts, Lin Qi’s actions were indeed faster than he had imagined. Now, all he needed to do was watch the drama from above and secretly support the police to coordinate with Lin Qi. One couldn’t simply let a girl handle this alone and take everyone down—that was out of the question.

Lin Qi could only capture the king; the rest was up to others. Shen Dong knew it, and the police officers knew it too. They were all quietly moving through the crowd, because the people there were already in turmoil, making it easy to break the situation.

"You slut, if you let go for even a second and make me crash into something, you’d better put that knife down now. If you dare to harm any one of us, I definitely won’t let you off easy. Think about it—if you dare, consider what you’ll face afterward. You might be skinned and cut up bit by bit.

Think about what my hands are capable of—you’ve already experienced it just now. I hope you won’t do something foolish. I believe you’re a smart person."

The initial aggressor was threatening, fearful that if something really happened to the lieutenant, none of them would be able to leave, so he desperately tried to reason with Lin Qi, hoping she still had some sense and wouldn’t do anything stupid that would throw them all into panic. The short man was genuinely scared now because if the lieutenant died, they’d all be trapped. He hurriedly said:

"You really need to think this through, we haven’t done anything, but if you act now, you’ll be assaulting someone, and we can take you to court for that. You might end up serving a long sentence.

Do you really want to spend the best years of your life in jail? I don’t believe you do. Put the knife down first, and we can discuss this reasonably, whatever you do, don’t hurt anyone, got it?"

When the short man spoke these words, he was very clear and frightened that the lieutenant’s neck would just snap right there, turning it into a disastrous scene.
