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

Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Not Allowed

"No way, almost all of our hostages have been rescued. We only have Zhang Xu left as leverage. If Zhang Xu gets rescued too, what will they do? They definitely won’t be able to get out. Even if they manage to escape, it will require a lot of effort. Look, the second-in-command has already been captured."

Is the best plan now to trade Mr. Zhang’s life for our chance to escape? Blame the second-in-command; he was too arrogant, which is why this woman caught him. If he hadn’t made that unreasonable demand in the first place, he wouldn’t have been caught by her. It’s all his own bad luck.

"We should think about how we can escape. Even without the second-in-command, we can still make it out. Are you all willing to believe me and take Zhang Xu as a hostage to escape? What do you think?"

"I think what the fourth brother is saying is wrong because we don’t have any other chance and can’t afford to gamble. If we continue to hand over this hostage, we’ll have to keep outsmarting the police. It’d be better to just take the hostage and escape. As for me, I think we should just do it, and if you want to follow, then follow."

"If you want to stay and save the second-in-command, then stay. After all, that woman killed the second-in-command, and they have no way to prove her innocence. Later, we just need to use some tricks to get this woman into prison, and then find some connections inside to get her killed. That would be avenging the second-in-command."

"The second-in-command has been pretty decent to us, always hardworking and never complaining. We can’t be so heartless as to let this woman kill him and not care at all. What we’re doing is all that decency requires. What do you think?"

After saying this, they all nodded, seeming to agree with the decision. The second-in-command was there, not deaf to their conversation. Watching these people he usually protected now unanimously turning against him, deciding to abandon him without caring for his life or death, he was so angry his face turned green; he hadn’t expected this incident to reveal their true colors.

"So you’re really leaving me here," the second-in-command scoffed. "They are far too naive. Without me, what will they do after they escape? Can they evade the police hunt? They’ll be found in no time, not to mention the issue with the Zhang family. The Zhang family already feels humiliated and definitely won’t let them go."

"When they get caught between both sides, where do they think they can escape to? It’s always been me covering for them in the background that allowed them to escape so smoothly and cleanly. Now without me, let’s see how they manage on their own."

The second-in-command didn’t plan to say anything more. After all, leading this bunch of incompetents always exhausted him, and he dearly wished for a smarter teammate."

"Whether it’s this bar’s owner or this woman holding me hostage, both are sharp and highly intelligent. Working with them would certainly make things a lot easier, but heaven just didn’t arrange for such teammates for me, instead giving me teammates who are strong but useless in every other aspect."

"Sometimes they even hold me back. Such teammates are the most annoying, but heaven isn’t giving me better teammates anymore. Now, I can only leave it to fate. I’m already tired from the money we’ve made from escaping so far; this is the first time I feel like letting go."

Lin Qi sneered mockingly at the second-in-command and said, "Look, they chose another path and didn’t choose you. They think that if they leave you behind, you might delay their escape plan."

Lin Qi sneered at this, mocking him in response to his earlier words. Now it was her turn to throw the words back at him. Funny how men like him always think they’re so tough."

"He doesn’t realize that he can be easily discarded. Curious, isn’t it? When it comes to their own interests, people always choose what benefits them the most. Now he gets to experience that feeling. He thinks of it all as a game."

"I’ll say this one last time, if you don’t release him, I’ll kill Zhang Xu right now, and then the game is completely over. You cops should consider whether you have the capability to handle this. If you can, then forget I said anything. We’re not afraid anymore, our second-in-command is already hostage with you.

"If we don’t succeed, we’ll all die here anyway, and before dying, I definitely want to take a rich young man down with me, and the best candidate for that would be Zhang Xu. You always act so strong, well, I can do that too."

After saying this, the third brother pulled out a folded knife from his pocket and placed it directly against Zhang Xu’s throat. Zhang Xu, a wealthy young master accustomed to luxurious scenes, had never experienced such a scene before. Seeing this, his face turned pale, his legs weakened, and he almost collapsed.

Fortunately, the third brother held him up from behind, and keeping the knife a few centimeters away from his neck, Zhang Xu was so terrified that he urinated on himself. Such a humiliation—how could anyone accept that?

If the Zhang family saw this news, they would certainly slap him, hoping that Zhang Xu no longer goes out and embarrasses them. But if something happened to him, the Zhang family would also be distressed, as he is their only son. If something happened to him, who would inherit their assets?

As the air filled with the smell of urine, everyone could barely turn their backs; some quickly covered their noses with their hands. They all felt that Mr. Zhang wasn’t as imposing as he appeared, seeming more of a wretch; and everyone thought so, but no one dared to say anything—as long as Zhang Xu was alive, he remained Mr. Zhang.

He was someone they couldn’t afford to offend; who knows, they could be the ones he targets next. It was better not to offend him.
