A fleeting hint of panic flashed in Xia Wan's beautiful eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and told herself that she must remain calm and not let this vicious person in front of her become desperate.

Actually, being caught by this person was part of Xia Wan's plan, even though it was a plan she made on a whim.

At this moment, the train police officers had stopped their hurried steps. They were all tense, as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to deal with any possible danger at any moment.

Behind these train police officers followed several tall, dashing men whose sharp, wary eyes, like those of hawks, were fixed on Chen Qiang.

Unfortunately, since Xia Wan was under Chen Qiang's control, everyone was hesitant to act rashly.

"Chen Qiang, you have nowhere to run! If you know what's good for you, put down your weapon and release the hostage. Maybe then we can consider being lenient with you."

The officer in the train police team, who looked quite authoritative and like a captain, shouted loudly. His voice was deep and steady, revealing an unwavering strength, clearly trying to calm Chen Qiang's increasingly agitated emotions.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Chen Qiang not only showed no sign of restraint, but instead burst into unrestrained laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Hahahaha...leniency? That's utterly ridiculous! Since you can even call me by name, you should know exactly who I am and how serious my crimes are! You still dream of leniency? That's just wishful thinking, only good enough to fool a three-year-old!"

"All of this is that damned bitch's fault! Humph, since I can't escape now, I might as well drag her down to hell with me!" He glared angrily at the woman in front of him, cursing viciously.

At this moment, his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, and the sharp blade he held tightly pressed against Xia Wan's fair and delicate skin, even leaving a very fine bloodstain on her slender neck.

Seeing this, Xia Wan was somewhat panicked, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.

She took a deep breath, raised her right hand, and gently pushed away the small knife pressed against her neck. She jokingly said in a seemingly casual tone, "Hey buddy, don't let your hand shake. If you accidentally cut an artery, we'll both be done for! Also, could you please move it a little to the side?"

After saying that, her bright, lively eyes darted around quickly. While using her words to distract the other person, she secretly observed her surroundings out of the corner of her eye, trying to find the perfect opportunity to escape and fight back.

Just then, Xia Wan suddenly remembered the mysterious black package she had mentioned when communicating with the system earlier, so she quickly communicated with the system in her mind: "Little system, that package seems to contain quite a lot of things. Do I have to slowly search through it one by one? That would be such a waste of time!"

[Host, you don't actually need to do that. Indirect contact is sufficient.]

"What? You mean it counts as long as I touch that black package?" Xia Wan asked in surprise.

[That's right, host!] The system gave an affirmative answer.

After receiving a definite answer, Xia Wan temporarily put the system out of her mind and focused all her attention on Chen Qiang standing behind her and the black package that was quietly placed not far away.

What secrets were hidden in that package? Xia Wan couldn't help but wonder to herself. Her intuition told her that what was inside was definitely extraordinary.

She carefully observed her surroundings, her gaze finally settling on the person behind her.

If you want to touch that mysterious package without anyone noticing, you must cleverly use this person as a cover.

Xia Wan quickly calculated the distance to her target in her mind, and a plan gradually took shape.

She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm and composed: "Brother, don't be so nervous. Nobody wants to die, right?"

However, the man standing behind her trembled even more violently, and the gleaming knife in his hand seemed about to slip out of control at any moment.

Seeing the tense scene before her, Xia Wan even began to worry. What if this person lost his mind due to excessive tension and stabbed himself in the throat?

"It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, they would never have found us!" Chen Qiang's eyes widened in anger, veins bulging on his forehead, and his already unpleasant face became even more gloomy, like the sky before a storm.

He roared angrily while looking around anxiously. When he realized that he had nowhere to escape, despair surged into his heart like a tidal wave.

Faced with Chen Qiang's accusations, Xia Wan deliberately feigned ignorance, blinking her big eyes and saying innocently, "Brother, what are you talking about? What does it have to do with me if you alarm the train police?"

Hearing Xia Wan's words, not only was Chen Qiang stunned, but even the several railway police officers who had gathered around were also surprised.

This young girl is truly amazing. Even though a sharp dagger was pressed against her slender neck, and her life hung in the balance, she still had the leisure to chat with the murderer, and she didn't show the slightest fear from beginning to end.

Xia Wan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "How would I know why you were discovered? Maybe you were just feeling guilty and gave yourself away. I just happened to be passing by and you, this heartless bastard, spotted me."

As she spoke, she subtly shifted her body, trying to turn in a different direction to make her next move easier.

Chen Qiang seemed to be enraged by her words. He tightened his grip on her arm and pressed the blade a little deeper into Xia Wan's neck, causing a trickle of blood to seep out.

Seeing this, the train police officers shouted in unison, "Chen Qiang, calm down! Don't hurt the hostages!"

Unfortunately, their shouts had no effect whatsoever; Chen Qiang was too excited to resist any stimulation.

Xia Wan narrowed her eyes, waiting for the right opportunity to act!
