Chapter 860: Chapter 570 - I Will Protect You (Second Update)

"Since you don’t want to cooperate, we have no choice but to... give you a taste of torture." Regretfully, they also had no other option.

"How about it, giving you one last chance." The other party slowly stood up, looking down from above, with a cold gaze, "Tell us, your identities, say it out loud, and as soon as we get the money, we’ll release you immediately."

"Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false," Xue Jianbing scoffed; regardless of truth or falsehood, it didn’t particularly matter to them because they wouldn’t talk, either way.

The other party, "Whether I’m lying or not, you have to believe it, don’t you? Don’t forget, right now, you guys... have no other choice."

"Who says so." Listening to him, Jing Youlan suddenly laughed, "We can still choose not to tell." To speak or not to speak, that was their choice, after all, heaven never decreed that they must speak.

"It seems you really are prepared to suffer punishment instead of a toast," the other party sneered and stood erect, "If so, we don’t need to be polite to you any longer."

Alas... taking kindness for granted, "You’ve really disappointed us." If it weren’t for the masks, they felt their faces probably would be... heartbroken... No, that’s not right, more like deeply pained.

"I am not honored," came the reply without hesitation or provocation.

Jing Youlan felt that these people really wouldn’t kill them, and for some reason, they had this confidence.

The actions of the people in front of them were indeed very strange, but they couldn’t quite put their finger on what was odd.

"Clap, clap, clap," a sudden burst of applause, and the next moment, two people carrying a large water jar walked in from outside the Main Gate. Jing Youlan and the others exchanged glances in bafflement; what exactly did these people want to do?

What use could this outline possibly have?

Then, the following actions of the other party made Jing Youlan and his group feel inexplicably irritated and nervous, their brows frowning unconsciously.

Soon, the waist-high water jar was filled to the brim with water, nearly spilling over.

"So, who shall we start with?" The other party’s voice carried a tone of contemplation and consideration, eyes scanning over them, and Jing Youlan’s group found their brows furrowing tighter, their unease deepening.

"Why don’t we start with you?" Finally, the other party made a choice. Following the direction of his pointing finger, Yue Qiao’s unchanged expression came into everyone’s view.

The first one was Yue Qiao!

"What do you want to do?" Without hesitation, everyone instinctively shielded Yue Qiao and eyed the others warily.

"What to do?" To this question, the other party just let out a cold laugh, "I’ve wasted so much patience having such a nice and lengthy chat with you, and yet you still haven’t given me the answer I want. What do you think I’ll do? Put yourself in our shoes; if you were me, how would you act?"

The voice was cold and bloodthirsty.

The group bit their lips, looking unconsciously towards the large water jar filled to the brim.

What would they do?

"You two, go and tie up this beauty for me," At the command, two masked people quickly approached, attempting to drag Yue Qiao away to tie her up.

"Although it pains me just a tiny bit, it’s a pity you’re unwilling to work with me, so I can only..." There was no need for him to elaborate on what came next.

"Tie me up if you have to." However, the next moment, a male voice suddenly arose from everyone’s ears. Jing Youlan and the others looked towards the source, seeing Zhou Yicen slowly standing up.

"Yicen, I can handle it." Yue Qiao also stood up, "There’s no need for you to suffer on my behalf." Although they couldn’t be completely sure of what the other party intended to do, they had a fairly good idea, and it was definitely not going to be anything pleasant.

"As a boyfriend, how could I let my girlfriend face danger," Zhou Yicen looked at Yue Qiao with a gentle smile, as Yue Qiao pursed her lips, moved, yet still slowly shaking her head.

Zhou Yicen, "I will protect you," he said, looking at her resolutely, without a hint of hesitation.

"As comrades, we cannot let either of you face danger alone. If someone is to be tied, tie me up!" Including Xue Jianbing, everyone ’swooshed’ to their feet, their gazes cold as they looked at all the people surrounding them.
