I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 692 It’s Alright

Chapter 692: Chapter 692 It’s Alright

But the good thing right now is that Zhang Xu is also unharmed, and a heroic woman has appeared, who can help them out of their current predicament. That’s enough for the time being; as for whose name the credit falls under, it’s no longer important. They, as police officers, have seen enough of right and wrong throughout the years to understand this much.

They feel if they can succeed, it’s fine for others to take the glory. If they can avoid being scolded and fined, that’s already quite good. Practically praying for peace, they are all mentally prepared and cooperating in the background, unsure of the next steps, but without objection to Lin Qi’s suggestions, knowing cooperation is key.

When it’s time for Lao Er to be of no use, they’ll discreetly help in apprehending him; this way, the police won’t lose face or be accused of sheltering anyone, and they can calmly move on to the next case. They just hope there won’t be any more situations involving nobility.

Situations like this are truly tricky to handle, where they can’t afford to offend anyone or harm their sons; if hurt, they might even face some punishment.

"Alright, I’ll press down on Zhang Xu and take him over. I’m stronger, so if he tries to run, I can subdue him more quickly. What do you guys think? If that’s okay, let’s just push him over,"

Lao Si made this suggestion, and naturally, no one objected—except Lao Liu, who was a bit unhappy. After all, it was he who had chosen the captive, so why couldn’t he be the one to press him down?

As he was about to voice his grievance, he thought better of it, knowing it wasn’t the time for petty squabbles that could divide them. So, he stifled his words and acknowledged his own capabilities.

Forget it, let Lao Si do the grunt work. After all, everyone knew who deserved the credit. It was he who had the keen eye to grab the most privileged captive, unlike Lao Si who brought in an undercover agent—clearly, his judgment was flawed.

With that thought, he let out a disdainful snort and turned away. Lao Si currently had no intention of arguing with Lao Liu, finding him as petty as a little brat—a waste of time.

Day in and day out, they belittled those above them. What good would come from that? These fights were a constant and sometimes even physical, making things difficult for everyone. Given the chance, he would pin Lao Liu down and give him a thorough beating.

Zhang Xu, realizing escape was impossible, felt humiliated as he was pressed down and taken away. It was the most disgraceful treatment he had ever received in all his years as a wealthy gentleman—to be escorted under duress...

"What’s with that sulking look on your face? You deserve this, you know. I’m being lenient by not beating you to a pulp. Today, you should be grateful that damned woman has the skill to trade for you. Otherwise, you’d be sitting here enduring our humiliation. Yet, you still wear that expression—it’s laughable,"

Perhaps Lao Si was also provoked, as he openly expressed his disdain for Zhang Xu, feeling that since he was about to be handed over, he might as well say a few more biting words. This tirade only made Zhang Xu even less cooperative.

Feeling that he couldn’t die here now that someone was about to trade for him, they would have to indulge his mood. So he retorted, "That’s all you can do. Look, you still have to obediently deliver me, don’t you? That proves you’re nothing special."

Lin Qi, who was ready to proceed with the exchange, couldn’t believe Zhang Xu would be so foolish. It was a critical moment, yet he was wasting time with pointless bickering. She had thought such stupidity was unique to their kidnapper’s group, unaware Zhang Xu could be just as foolish, engaging in an argument with hostage-takers.

It was like he didn’t care for his own life. She had put in so much effort to come up with the exchange plan. If they got angry out of embarrassment and abandoned the trade, she wondered how she could escape on her own. If he ended up maimed, it was his fault for being so stupid. And it was vexing that the Zhang family wouldn’t care, focusing only on the bar’s security failures and seeking revenge—that was the real trouble here. Lin Qi wished she had superpowers.

She wished she had a way to silence people because if she could, she would have made Zhang Xu shut up and prevent such a situation. Regrettably, there was no such method, so she could only silently pray that Lao Si wouldn’t get angry and call off the deal.

All she could do was pray silently while Lao Er stood by, used to the petty provocations of the likes of Lao Si—that’s how these kids had been from childhood. They never grasped the gravity of certain situations, wasting time on words when they could’ve worked to get themselves out sooner.

Lao Si was calm now, not caring what Zhang Xu was saying. Perhaps he knew what was more important. No matter how much noise was made, it couldn’t change the situation. Luckily, Lao Liu had already given someone a beating, so Lao Si didn’t feel at a loss anymore.

Once Lao Si had brought Zhang Xu to the middle, he said to Lin Qi, "There, I’ve brought the guy over. Now, shouldn’t you show some sincerity and stop pointing the knife at our Lao Er’s throat?

What if you accidentally finish him off? Then what? You should keep your word. Here’s what we’ll do, start by putting down the knife."
