I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 697 Conclusion

Chapter 697: Chapter 697 Conclusion

Lao Er only then realized that he had been completely played by this woman. There was never any thorough plan from the beginning to the end; it was all lies from her. How could there have been? Even he hadn’t thought of that method, so how could a mere dancer come up with a plan more thorough than his own or plead with the police? How could any of that be possible?

It was impossible in every way. Why did his brain short-circuit just now, leading him to agree to cooperate? Looking back now, he felt like a fool, duped by others, and he had deceived his brothers as well. There wouldn’t be a good end for him. To think he had fallen to this level.

Even a little woman managed to deceive him, and Lao Er felt a surge of rage from within, a fury that he decided to unleash on her. He wanted to escape from police custody, but how could he? The police tightened their grip with each passing moment, making any escape impossible.

"You malicious woman, you won’t end well. You even deceived me and our group. Didn’t we already have an agreement at the beginning? Go on then, do as you please. I swear if I get out of here alive one day, I will make you pay. I will make sure you never get back on your feet in this lifetime."

As Lao Er cursed and was dragged away, he came back to his senses only to realize that Lin Qi had already disappeared. The current crowd wasn’t one to be trifled with, and now that he had provoked them, his only option was to get away. There would certainly be other groups seeking vengeance against her.

Turning around, Lao Er noticed that his brothers had somehow peacefully accepted the police’s directive to leave, very well-behaved, without causing a fuss, quietly being cuffed in silver and pulled away together. But their eyes held a glint of bloodlust and ill-intent as they watched him ominously.

It seemed as if they were plotting something, and it dawned on him that something was off—why were they looking at him with those eyes? He wouldn’t be devoured alive as soon as he entered prison, would he? The more he thought about it, the more it seemed likely, especially because their gazes were truly unbearable.

"What are you all doing? Why are you looking at me like that? I’ve been caught too, haven’t I? Besides, I do have a way out, I genuinely do. It just wasn’t usable back then. But don’t worry, in prison I’ll have a way out. Just you wait, because with me around, you definitely won’t die. Trust me, okay? Just trust me one more time."

Lao Er saw that there was no one in the world left to help him, and his previous brothers were also looking at him with that same look. He felt that not even in prison would anyone protect him. Lao Si wouldn’t be able to come in time to save him. Now, his only chance at saving himself was to reassure his brothers not to attack him. If they got impulsive and attacked him inside the prison, he wouldn’t live to see the third day. He knew their methods all too well; after all, he had been their strategist in the past.

He was just in charge of directing their actions, while they were the enforcers—a group that knew how to torture people, method after method. He had always felt a chill watching them, thinking just how cruel the men could be. Their interrogation techniques were indeed effective, quickly yielding clues. But now that these techniques might be used on him... the thought was too terrifying.

Especially Lao Liu; he’d always been a particularly fearsome type, always brooding, and it was unclear what he was thinking. From the beginning, the person Lao Er wanted to avoid the most was Lao Liu. But now, Lao Liu was giving him that kind of look, as if he didn’t intend to let bygones be bygones, but was planning to take action against him. This thought was particularly unpleasant.

He had already revealed his cards, so why were these people still holding onto this trivial matter? Lao Er’s heart was extraordinarily agitated. If he could tunnel out and escape, he definitely would, but sadly he lacked the ability and could only endure the situation. Hearing these words, Lao Si also understood the crux of the matter and let out a cold laugh.

"No need to wait. We can discuss anything that needs to be done inside. I’m curious to see what kind of strategy you have to escape. I’m not going to trust you anymore. If you can escape, then prove it to us."

Having said that, Lao Si walked away cleanly without looking back, as if he had never trusted Lao Er. Lao Er didn’t anticipate that not a single person present would be willing to trust him. He had just wanted to test that woman, but she had indeed deceived him. His brothers were now heartlessly detached, and he couldn’t rely on them anymore.

Even if he had miraculous powers, he would definitely not be able to leave prison now, let alone if they were to trip him up. With this thought, he felt that his future days would be extremely difficult. He turned to look at the police, but they didn’t care about all this. They had always maintained a disdainful attitude towards these criminals, because it was people like them that caused so many families to be destroyed. If these individuals weren’t severely punished, then what kind of heroes would they be?

Lao Er swallowed hard, wanting to talk to the police to see if he could get a separate cell, not wanting to stay with his brothers. If he did, he was sure he’d be beaten up as soon as he got in, maybe even subjected to some extreme punishments. He didn’t want that for himself.

Shivering, he pleaded with the police, "Officer, I don’t know if you can arrange a solitary cell for me. If not, it’s okay, just please not with them. Can you do that? It’s my only request. Otherwise, I’m going to die."
