He opened his lips slightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "You and your man ruined my good thing. I haven't dealt with you yet, don't worry."
Su Mianmian looked at his increasingly vicious eyes and didn't dare to move.
She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calmer, and she discussed in a gentle tone:
"What do you want in exchange for letting Lu Liang go? If you do, I'll be your hostage. That way, you might still have a chance of survival."
The thin man suddenly became angry after hearing this. "Shut up! What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
Her eyes inadvertently passed in the direction of Song Qingshan and others. She calmed down and suppressed her worries and said:
"You should know that the Lu family is surrounded by public security comrades. The reason you have been staying at the Lu family is because you are afraid of being caught in one fell swoop. If you catch me, you may be able to use me as a bargaining chip to escape. After all, my value is far greater than that of a child."
The thin man's eyes did waver briefly after hearing Su Mianmian's words.
His furrowed brows relaxed slightly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
However, that hesitation was soon replaced by a strong sense of confidence.
He sneered, "Hmph, do you really think I'll believe your nonsense? I have this little brat in my hand, and that's enough. If anyone of you dares to act rashly, I'll make him die with me!"
As he spoke, he increased the strength of his hands again and pinched Lu Liang hard.
Lu Liang turned pale with pain, but he forced himself not to make a sound and just shed tears silently.
Seeing this, Lu Liang's father's pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice trembled a little: "Stop! Calm down! We can talk it over!"
However, the thin man seemed determined to use Lu Liang as a bargaining chip.
He smiled triumphantly, a smile full of control and confidence over the situation.
He glanced at Su Mianmian, with a hint of provocation in his tone:
"Well? Do you still think your proposal makes sense? In my eyes, there's not much difference between an adult hostage and a child hostage."
Although Su Mianmian was extremely anxious, she remained calm and composed on her face.
She took a deep breath, glanced at Song Qingshan's position, and said seriously:
"You're wrong, I'm much more prestigious than this little guy. I'm Su Mianmian, the cousin of Captain Song Qingshan, and Captain Song's mother is my aunt.
Moreover, if you really hurt Lu Liang, then there will be no chance for the three of you to escape. My cousin will not let go of any murderer who hurts innocent people. "
When these words were spoken, Song Qingshan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.
He secretly complained in his heart, why had he never heard his mother mention this so-called "niece"?
Suddenly he thought of something and began to suppress his laughter, continuing to remain serious.
The thin man was obviously shocked by Su Mianmian's words, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. If it was true, then maybe he could really get away with it.
However, he did not believe it immediately, but questioned calmly:
"Oh? Captain Song's cousin? Why have I never heard of her? And why would Captain Song easily let his cousin put himself in danger?"
Su Mianmian was well prepared, and she replied calmly:
"Bullshit! How can you guess what my cousin is thinking? My grandfather taught us Su children since we were young that we should take the defense of our country as our own responsibility. Saving someone is just a trivial matter, so I, Su Mianmian, will naturally do my duty!"
The thin man was stunned by Su Mianmian. He didn't expect such a cute little girl to speak so... so roughly...
Su Mianmian ignored him and continued:
"I'll be your hostage, you won't lose anything! This little boy is my new apprentice. It's only natural for a master to protect his apprentice from disaster.
Besides, Song Qingshan, that rough guy, has to listen to my aunt at home, so isn't that equivalent to listening to me? I promise to let you three leave safely. "
Su Mianmian said this without forgetting to wink at Song Qingshan.
Song Qingshan immediately understood, stood up cooperatively, and glared at Su Mianmian in pretended anger.
"Su Mianmian, get out of here! I told you not to cause any more trouble! They're thieves who stole cultural relics, and you're going to let them go just like that? Is that what Grandpa taught you?"
Su Mianmian couldn't help but give Song Qingshan a thumbs up in her heart, good boy, really awesome.
Su Mianmian looked at Song Qingshan innocently on the surface, with a cunning glint in her eyes.
"Cousin, you don't understand! In my eyes, my little apprentice's life is more important than anything else! I don't care if they are thieves who stole cultural relics. Now I only care about my little apprentice's safety."
Song Qingshan's face turned pale. "You! You are totally unreasonable!"
The fake brother and sister acted in unison, making the scene extremely realistic.
Seeing this, the thin man's doubts gradually dissipated.
He looked at Song Qingshan with a gloating look, "Captain Song, I didn't expect you to have such a lovely little cousin. Hahahahaha! Little girl, listen to you. Be my hostage, and I will release your little apprentice."
Su Mianmian no longer paid attention to Song Qingshan and looked at the thin man, "Comrade, I will walk towards you, and you should let my little apprentice go now."
The thin man nodded. This little brat couldn't cause any trouble. As long as they caught Su Mianmian, they would have no worries about escaping.
Su Mianmian looked at the thin man and then looked at Lu Liang's father worriedly and gave him instructions.
"Brother Lu, please keep an eye on my little disciple."
When Lu Liang heard that the beautiful sister wanted to be a hostage for him, he immediately refused. He shook his head and said, "Beautiful sister, don't come over here. This guy's pinching is really painful. Liangliang is a little man, protect your sister."
Seeing this, the thin man smiled disdainfully, "Humph, children are just children. They don't know what it means to protect and be protected."
As he spoke, he gently placed Lu Liang on the ground, his gaze piercing Lu Liang's father like a sharp sword, his words threatening. "Watch your son carefully, or else he won't be able to escape so easily if he falls into my hands next time."
Su Mianmian walked towards the thin man.
When Lu Liang's mother saw the man put her son down, she could no longer control her emotions. She rushed forward and hugged her son tightly.
Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, and she choked out, "Liangliang, does it hurt? It's all because of my useless mother. I couldn't protect you."
The thin man watched Lu Liangniang's actions and didn't take the mother and son seriously at all.
Su Mianmian had already walked up to him. Just as he was about to reach out to grab her, he felt someone kicking him in the butt. He then staggered forward a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Looking back, he saw Shen Yuandao had appeared behind him at some point, his eyes as cold as ice, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.
