Chapter 656: Chapter 654: Release her... Name your terms!_1
Brook was very astute, setting the time for eight o’clock in the evening.
Evenings were disadvantageous for Mu Zisu—firstly, due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, and secondly, he had to go to the island alone.
Mu Yingchen had flown here from C City as soon as Mu Zisu confirmed Na Xiaoxiao’s and the others’ location.
Su Yanqin also brought people to meet with Mu Zisu. Despite the substantial numbers, they couldn’t accompany Mu Zisu to the island.
Huo En was a great help too—he found someone familiar with those waters to lead the way for Mu Zisu. Afterwards, they all hid on the nearest small island, with all systems set up and ready to facilitate the rescue operation.
In fact, sending Mu Zisu alone was tantamount to sending him to his death, but with Xiaoxiao there, Mu Zisu would surely go, regardless of the risk to his life. He’d do it even if it was just to catch a glimpse of her.
Mu Yingchen felt deeply apologetic towards Mu Zisu; because of his earlier arrogance, he hadn’t taken these people seriously, resulting in their resurgence and directing their hatred towards his child.
"Yaoyao... try to delay as much as you can, until we arrive..."
Mu Zisu looked at everyone, nodded, then boarded the helicopter without looking back, with such resolve and not a hint of hesitation.
Na Xiaoxiao had been tied to a chair all along. When the men burst through the door, they said nothing and just lifted her down the stairs.
Her heart pounded chaotically—could it be that Zisu had come?
Why would he come? Clearly, these people aimed to kill him!
The big fool!
When the sound of a helicopter’s rotors filled the sky, the people waiting on the island immediately raised their guns and aimed at the helicopter.
Xiaoxiao heard the noise too, and tears started streaming uncontrollably; she’d rather he didn’t come...
As the cabin door opened, Mu Zisu descended the stair, like an eagle spreading its wings. As the helicopter slowly approached the ground, he jumped down...
"Mu Zisu... tell the people above to withdraw immediately..." Brook aimed the black handgun he held at Na Xiaoxiao beside him.
As soon as Mu Zisu steadied his stance, he heard a voice not far away.
He turned and instantly saw the person among the crowd who was tied to the chair.
At this moment, Na Xiaoxiao was a sorry sight, bound tightly to the chair, unable to budge. Strands of hair fluttered in the sea breeze, partially concealing her face and eyes. But even so, Mu Zisu still saw the clear, teary eyes sparkling with moisture.
His hands slowly clenched, and his unfathomable eyes narrowed into slits. If looks could kill, Brook and Ding Nianzi, along with the others, would have been slain countless times!
The helicopter above, along with the whir of its rotors, began to move away slowly.
Brook then watched Mu Zisu with a playful gaze, "Seems like Young Master Mu is not in the best of spirits. Brothers, please invite Young Master Mu inside to sit for a while..."
"Why did you come! Are you stupid?" Na Xiaoxiao suddenly cried out in despair!
If he didn’t come, just one of them would have died!
Why did he come!
Even if he did, these people would not let her go!
Mu Zisu’s eyes turned red. Looking at Na Xiaoxiao, so disheveled and haggard, he felt as if a huge hand was gripping his heart, leaving him breathless!
His Xiaoxiao, to be treated by them like this!
If he made it out alive tonight, he wouldn’t let any of these people off! He would personally send them to hell!
"Young Master Mu is indeed deeply infatuated... We’re truly moved... However, it seems your darling doesn’t appreciate it, does she?" Brook mocked.
Mu Zisu snorted coldly, "My arrival must perfectly suit your wishes..."
Brook suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Of course, without this young lady, how could we have invited the Young Master of the Mu Family to this place? Right, brothers!"
At Brook’s call, the hundreds of people behind him suddenly burst into laughter.
Two men holding guns stepped forward to search him, and Mu Zisu stood unmoved like Mount Tai, allowing them to search.
"Boss... there’s nothing..." one of them yelled to Brook.
"Let’s go... inside..." Brook gestured with his hand.
Mu Zisu stood still, his voice clear and cold, "First, release her..."
It seemed that only then did Brook remember something, he slapped his forehead, "Old age doesn’t do the brain any good... It’s not as sharp as you young people’s... Still, Young Master Mu knows how to pity and cherish beauty... Hurry up, untie the ropes from that young lady..."
As soon as Brook finished speaking, a person beside him immediately went forward and untied the ropes that bound Xiaoxiao in a tight bundle.
In fact, Xiaoxiao could not see, so it didn’t matter whether she was tied up or not. They had tied her up for fear she might seek death. Now that Mu Zisu had arrived, there was no point in keeping her bound.
"Is that good enough for you, Young Master Mu?" After Brook said this, he turned and took the lead in moving forward.
The two people behind Mu Zisu pressed their guns into his back and followed Brook and the others inside.
Xiaoxiao was also led inside under control.
An empty gambling table lay bare, with nothing on it.
Brook and Ding Nianzi sat at the head of the table with Xiaoxiao standing behind them, pulled by someone.
Meanwhile, Mu Zisu sat opposite them with two people behind him, holding guns and concentrating on him, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Mu Zisu’s gaze fell on Xiaoxiao behind them, a flash of pain crossing his eyes.
"Young Master Mu... how about we have a few drinks tonight? But drinking is no fun without a game. Why don’t we play something?" Brook’s face was full of mischief.
Mu Zisu curled his lips coldly, emotionlessly spitting out one word, "Fine!" His noble posture and cold face seemed out of place among the crowd.
"So, what should we play?" Brook turned his face to ask Ding Nianzi.
Ding Nianzi sneered, "Since we’re playing, let’s play something thrilling..."
"Hmm?" Brook continued looking at Ding Nianzi.
Ding Nianzi, looking at Mu Zisu across from her, had a vicious look in her eyes, "Why don’t we play the simplest game, rolling dice for high and low..."
Brook looked toward Mu Zisu, "Young Master Mu... what do you think?"
Mu Zisu lifted his eyes to look at the two people opposite him, the simpler the game, the more likely the stakes would be...
"Release her... and name your conditions!" Mu Zisu responded indirectly.
His words silenced the scene immediately.
Tears once again slid down Xiaoxiao’s eyes; he shouldn’t be threatened by these people... His fate shouldn’t be in someone else’s hands...
"Isn’t this a bit of a mood-killer to discuss right now?" Brook raised an eyebrow.
"Yes... besides, shouldn’t Young Master Mu show some sincerity first..." Ding Nianzi also spoke up.
Mu Zisu looked down at the palm of his hand. Coming here from the nearest island takes a minimum of half an hour. From disembarking the plane to now, it hasn’t even been ten minutes. Starting so soon, could he really stall long enough for them to arrive...
