Chapter 558 The Person I Haven't Seen in a Long Time

I suspect there might be something wrong with my ears.

"What did you just say? Did I hear that right? You said you'd hand your daughter over to me as a hostage?" I asked, stunned.

Xu Sanshui said, "Now you should be able to believe in my sincerity, right? I genuinely want to cooperate with you. If we succeed, I will give you Central Town. If you don't want it, that's fine too. If we fail, we can all die together. We'll have each other on the road to the underworld, don't you think?"

I swallowed hard, feeling a bit strange.

Is this guy crazy, pushing his own daughter out as a hostage?

Xu Sanshui said, "I know you find it a bit unbelievable, but it's okay. Let's cooperate. It always needs to be equal and mutually beneficial, otherwise how can it be considered cooperation?"

I was still a little incredulous and said, "But I still don't believe you. What if you just give me any random woman, and it turns out she's not your daughter?"

Xu Sanshui thought about it seriously, "That's one way."

"..."

Xu Sanshui laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll just take you to meet my daughter right now, okay? You'll definitely believe me then."

I looked at Xu Sanshui with a puzzled expression, not understanding where his confidence came from.

Xu Sanshui said, "Since you're not saying anything, that means you agree. Alright, let's set off now."

"Huh?" I stared at Xu Sanshui, puzzled.

Are we about to set off?

After Xu Sanshui finished speaking, he stood up from the stool and called out to the outside, "Someone come here."

After he finished speaking, two men went directly into the infirmary with guns.

What are you going to do?!

"Shall I take you to a resort?"

“I don’t want to go!” I protested.

"You have to go whether you want to or not." After Xu Sanshui finished speaking, he had his men escort me out of the infirmary. I couldn't resist, since they had guns.

Left with no other choice, I could only leave the town center with them and get on the bus.

Head to the resort.

I've never encountered a situation like this before. After getting into the car, I looked at Xu Sanshui sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Why do you insist on cooperating with me? I don't have any special abilities. What if I can't help you in the end? Wouldn't you have wasted your time?"

Xu Sanshui said, "I chose you because of your relationship with Zhou Liang. I originally wanted to find Zhang Lincai, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. Zhang Lincai's vision is too narrow."

"My perspective is quite narrow too!"

Xu Sanshui turned his head and stared at me. "Don't test my patience anymore. Stay put and I'll cut your finger if you say another word."

"..." I was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What exactly is Xu Sanshui trying to do? Even if it's about cooperation, does he have to act like this? And judging from his confident demeanor, it's really strange. Why should I believe him just because I've met his daughter?

Isn't he a little too confident?

Also, he doesn't know me at all, so why would he come to me directly to collaborate? This is very strange and completely illogical.

I have a strange feeling that he's only cooperating with me for the sake of cooperating.

So what exactly is his purpose?

I sat in the car without saying anything more, looking out the window at the gray sky, feeling that it really was going to rain.

Two hours' drive isn't far, and we arrived quickly.

The two hours in the car made me a little drowsy, and it was Xu Sanshui who woke me up when we arrived at the resort.

"Have we arrived yet?" I asked.

"Nonsense, get off the bus now."

They pulled me out of the car. I looked a little lost, and sighed as I gazed at the resort surrounded by brick walls.

Xu Sanshui didn't pull me inside directly. Instead, he said, "Kid, just agree to my conditions, and our cooperation will be established. Then I'll hand my daughter over to you as a hostage."

I stared at him, completely unsure of what Xu Sanshui was up to, and then asked, "Just say what you want to say, okay? If you want to kill me, just do it. Don't go through all this trouble, okay?"

Xu Sanshui said, "I didn't intend to kill you. I sincerely wanted to cooperate with you, but you just didn't believe me."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course! How can I believe you when you're threatening me like this?"

Xu Sanshui smiled and said, "I was just testing you."

"Testing my foot!"

Xu Sanshui wasn't angry, nor did he say much to me. He turned and went into the resort.

I was taken inside by his men.

After entering the resort, I didn't see Sister Jing and the others, which was good, so as not to make them worry.

Seeing me looking around erratically, Xu Sanshui asked, "What, are you looking for someone who's looking for you?"

"What's it to you?"

Xu Sanshui said, "It doesn't matter now, but it might matter in the future."

What exactly is he trying to do? I really can't figure it out.

They led me into a villa in the resort.

This villa should belong to Xu Sanshui. Zhang Lin had told me before that these villas by the lake belong to those big shots, and as a big shot in the central town, Xu Sanshui naturally has his own villa.

After entering his villa, his men released me, and I followed him into the villa alone.

I touched my cuff, and a scalpel appeared in my hand.

Xu Sanshui has his back to me right now. If I were to ambush him now, I could kill him outright. But if I did that, I'm afraid none of us would ever leave this resort.

It seems like the only option left is to resort to threats.

I went over with the scalpel, and Xu Sanshui was completely unprepared for me.

I don't know why he was so relaxed about me. Could it be that he's really that confident?

I arrived in front of him in no time. He seemed to hear my hurried footsteps and quickly turned around.

In an instant, I placed the scalpel in my hand against his neck.

Upon seeing this, Xu Sanshui immediately raised his hands and said, "Don't be impulsive!"

I said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'm not that stupid. Tell me, what do you want from me here?"

Xu Sanshui said, "I brought you here to make you trust me. Put down the knife first, and we can talk slowly, okay?"

"Can't!"

Xu Sanshui said, "Alright then, I'll let my daughter out. Is that alright?"

As he said this, Xu Sanshui called out, "Nannan, come out and meet your old classmate."

Old classmate? What old classmate?

I looked at Xu Sanshui with a puzzled expression. At that moment, I saw a beautiful figure walking down from upstairs. When I saw this familiar figure, I was completely stunned.

It's a bit unbelievable.
