"Of course, but how can you guarantee that after I release you, you will keep your promise and release these hostages? I don't do things I'm not sure I can do!"
Xiao Che's team members stood up straight now. Look, it still takes the boss to do this. He's so smart! He'll stir things up first, disrupt their morale, and then it'll be easier to catch them in the chaos later.
Hearing him say that, the second-in-command felt a little relieved. If he had agreed immediately, he would have become suspicious.
"Then tell me, what should we do?" As long as their brothers can evacuate safely, everything else is trivial!
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Xiao Che smiled slightly. "I understand that you are afraid that I will break my promise, so you want to leave a hostage. But at the same time, I am also afraid that you will break your promise, so you have to leave something behind to put my mind at ease, right?"
"But don't worry, as long as you return the hostages safely, I will return your people to you as well."
After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at the group of brothers behind him.
As soon as he said this, anyone who wasn't a fool understood what he meant, and it successfully caused panic among the people behind the second-in-command, especially the five wounded men, who were now all doomed!
The second-in-command will definitely abandon the five of them in order to save his own life!
One of the wounded men shouted urgently to the men in front, "Second-in-command, we're brothers, we've been through thick and thin together, you can't abandon us!"
His words were quickly echoed by others: "Yes, yes, Second Brother, you can't agree to him! He definitely won't let us go! You can't trust the words of officials!"
The second-in-command also fell into deep thought. He wanted to live, but if he abandoned these brothers now, how would he survive in the underworld? Besides, if he wanted to escape, he would have to rely on the brothers behind him. If they were disheartened and the men were not united, how would they escape later?
"Hmph! Don't try to sow discord! I'm telling you, you better behave yourself! Or I'll kill them!" As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against the neck of the woman in his arms, the sharp blade leaving bloody marks.
The girl trembled with fear, screaming, "Ahhhhhh! Help me! I don't want to die! Please, say yes to him, I don't want to die!"
She didn't want to die! Her father was the Chief of the General Staff of the Northwest Military Region, and he had just been transferred to Kyoto this year. He had a bright future and a promising life ahead of him. She didn't want to die!
"Shut up!" Xiao Che's head was throbbing with pain at her screams! This woman was truly stupid! How could he not save her? This was a scheme, a complete scheme!
Didn't you see that the woman who was being held back, despite being terrified, endured the pain without crying or making a scene, thus preventing them from rescuing her?
His stern shout successfully stopped the woman from crying. She then looked at him with a wronged expression, as if he were a heartless man, which inexplicably gave him goosebumps!
The second-in-command laughed smugly, "Look at these pitiful girls, how can you be so heartless as to watch them die?"
Xiao Che didn't respond, but instead gave a cold laugh. "My mission this time is to eliminate the resisting bandits and rescue people along the way. We've already rescued most of them. Guess whether I would give up capturing you vicious criminals for the sake of these few people?"
Without waiting for his reply, he turned to the men behind the second-in-command and said, "Are you sure you want to die with him? Surrender and you might live, but if you resist, you're doomed!"
As if in agreement with his words, Xiao Che's people all raised their guns and aimed them at the people over there with serious expressions.
They were all people who had weathered many storms and hardships, so how could they not understand the meaning behind Xiao Che's words?
To deal with these inhuman people, endless compromise is useless; the only option is to suppress them with ruthless measures.
