Chapter 856: Chapter 568: Leave Together! (Third Update)

It’s a gift horse they won’t accept; they don’t want to play the fool.

Jing Youlan and the rest exchanged glances. "What should we do," they communicated by reading each other’s lips.

With furrowed brows, having their own people in the enemy’s hands was extremely disadvantageous for them.

Jing Youlan gritted her teeth; had they not been in continuous assessment, lacking rest and food over these few days, they wouldn’t have lost to a bunch of robbers.

And now they were being threatened.

This was probably their most unsuccessful outing yet; soldiers outdone by robbers marked a huge blemish on their lives.

Lips pursed, eyes alert, they considered how to deal with the enemy as they watched Xia Luoyu in their grasp.

Xia Luoyu cautiously felt the gun by her head, thinking about how she could escape. She didn’t want her own predicament to affect everyone’s assessment.

Otherwise, it would become her life’s greatest regret.

However, the enemies were too vigilant, and Xia Luoyu found no opportunity to break free.

Standing there, they watched the robbers approach and pull their hands behind their backs, intending to bind them.

Lips tightly sealed.

Jing Youlan and Ji Shubai exchanged glances, and in the next moment, before anyone could react, they jointly captured one of the men who hadn’t been alert, their gazes icy as they looked at the Leader.

Now, perhaps they had a chance to negotiate properly.

The dagger quietly pressed against the captive’s throat, touching the exposed skin, bringing with it a sinister chill; Jing Youlan coldly addressed the ringleader, "Now you have someone in my hands too. Let them go, or else..." The dagger pressed closer. They would not be merciful.

"Or else what?" Yet the adversary seemed completely unfazed, looking back at Jing Youlan with a smile in his eyes, "Go ahead and kill if you want. I don’t mind; after all, I wouldn’t abandon such a big prize for one person—only a fool would make such a dumb mistake." Was there even a need to choose between the two?

As for the ’fool’ he mentioned, it was likely Jing Youlan and his group.

"You actually don’t care about your own partners?" This was beyond Jing Youlan and his teams’ comprehension; they thought at the very least they were allies.

Were these people truly so cold-blooded?

"Partners! What a joke," the adversary burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Kid, let me tell you, if you really kill him, I might even thank you. Do you know why?"

He paused deliberately, "Because with one less person, each of us gets a larger share of the money—who wouldn’t like more money?" As he spoke, there wasn’t the slightest change in his comrades’ expressions, as if they agreed, as if it was routine for them.

Hearing this, they clenched their teeth; the predicament was harsh and real, unlike anything they had faced before, leaving them unsure of how to react.

"What should we do?" Zhou Yujun asked Ji Shubai.

Ji Shubai pursed his lips. The adversary was so calm, not caring at all about the hostage’s fate, leaving them no options. However, they could never ignore their comrade’s danger.

So the situation still placed them at a disadvantage.

"It seems you have no options left," the adversary sneered, seeing their hesitation. "In that case, I suggest you stop struggling; otherwise... if I accidentally hurt this little girl in my arms, it would be a pity, and certainly, you would be the ones with regrets."

"Also, she’s a pretty one; a real shame if she were to just die like this." His words were naked with faux pity; after speaking, he even clicked his tongue incessantly.

The other robbers at his side laughed along mockingly, their laughter filled with triumph.

The people in the vehicle were completely desperate by now; it seemed that their only hope had vanished.

These robbers were utterly ruthless.

"I warn you one last time," the Leader’s cold voice rang out again by their ears. "If you resist further, I would not mind blowing a hole in this little girl’s head."
