I ignored his sarcasm and said directly, "I can tell you, I'm not from the villa community. I'm an outsider. My purpose in coming to Ninghai is to find Zhou Qingya and that little girl you have. I'm here to take them back. I have no conflict with you, so I think we can make a deal. What do you think?"
"No way! Who knows if what you're saying is a lie?!" Sun Wenbo said bluntly.
I said, “If you really don’t want to make this deal, then I’ll have no choice but to kill you. You can try to resist, but I can tell you that if anything happens to the little girl in your hands or Zhou Qingya, I will slaughter you all. Don’t think I’m joking. Everyone who’s survived this long knows what kind of people they are. I’ll give you three seconds to think it over. If you still don’t intend to make this deal after three seconds, I will start killing until you are willing.”
Sun Wenbo roared, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill the little girl in my arms!"
I said, "I already said, if you dare touch her, I'll kill you all. The choice is yours. One!"
I saw Sun Wenbo's profile through the binoculars, and I noticed that his expression clearly showed a hint of panic.
Sun Wenbo looked around, seemingly trying to find me.
"Two!" I used the same method Sun Wenbo used against us to deal with him. There was no other way. Sun Wenbo had been in control from the beginning until now. I had to take the initiative from him in order to turn the tide.
"Three!" Just as I was about to fire the gun after counting to three, Sun Wenbo spoke.
"Wait!"
Although he shouted "Wait a minute," I still fired, but I didn't aim for his head; instead, I aimed for his calf.
"Ah!" A moment later, Sun Wenbo heard his companion scream in agony beside him.
He turned his head and saw that his companion, who was lying in ambush behind the car, had been hit in the calf by the wall and was bleeding profusely.
He angrily shouted into the walkie-talkie, "I already said wait a minute!"
I said, "You only told me after I finished counting. It's already good enough that I didn't kill him. This is just a warning. If you still want to have any illusions, I don't mind really killing him."
Sun Wenbo was furious and shouted, "What exactly do you want to do!"
I said calmly, "No, it's not about what I want to do, but what you want to do. I've already said that my purpose in coming here is to take the little girl and Zhou Qingya away. As for your purpose, I'd like to know that."
Sun Wenbo sneered, "What's my purpose? I just want to live!"
I said, "Surviving is easy; you don't need to make things difficult for a little girl."
Sun Wenbo retorted angrily, "Easy my ass! You're not from Ninghai, how would you know how difficult it is to survive here! You say you're not from here, then you certainly don't know that more than three months ago, after this Zhou Qingya appeared in Ninghai, the whole of Ninghai changed! Everyone started to flock to her because she's a celebrity, leaving us nowhere to survive."
"Do you know how hard it has been for us to survive these past few months! They outnumber us, they have weapons, there's simply no way we can fight them..."
Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him, saying, "There's no point in telling me these complaints. How you live is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me. All I want to do right now is make a deal with you."
Sun Wenbo also realized that his excitement just now was a bit strange. Looking at Zhou Qingya in front of him, he said, "What kind of deal do you want to make?"
I said, "Release the little girl, and then I will take Zhou Qingya and the little girl away from Ninghai. As for what happens in Ninghai next, it has nothing to do with us. If you feel that you have been wronged before, you can go and raid the villa community now and kill everyone inside."
"Hmph, I don't believe there's such a good thing!"
I said, “You may not believe me, but I will stick to this deal. If you keep refusing, I will keep killing your people until you agree.”
"You've gone too far!"
I said, "Is it too much? I've wanted to kill you ever since you kidnapped that little girl, but you haven't made a move yet, so I haven't either. Now you're telling me it's too much? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
I saw Sun Wenbo's face grow anxious; he clearly couldn't find a solution to the problem.
After hesitating for a long time, Sun Wenbo said, "Okay, I can agree to your deal, but there's one thing you have to promise me."
I said, "Tell me about it."
Sun Wenbo said, "Come out and talk to me face to face, otherwise I will not agree to your request."
I said, "Do you think your words will make me come out?"
Sun Wenbo said, "I know you don't believe me, but since this is a transaction, isn't it a bit much for you to hide and refuse to meet me? The little girl is still in my hands. To be honest, I really don't have the intention to kill a little girl like that. If you don't dare to come out and meet me, how can I believe that what you're saying is true?"
I said, “Meeting is fine, but I can’t just show up in front of you like this. If you have the guts, take the little girl and go to the roof of the third building from the east. I’ll be waiting for you there. Remember, don’t bring anyone with you, because I’m watching you all the time.”
Sun Wenbo hesitated for a long time before saying, "Fine, I will take the little girl with me. I hope you keep your word. If you dare to lie to me, we'll die together."
I didn't continue talking to him. I watched from the rooftop as he left the warehouse with the little girl. As for Zhou Qingya, she had also heard my conversation with Sun Wenbo, so she didn't follow.
After Sun Wenbo left, she looked around and then left as well.
I watched from the rooftop as Sun Wenbo led the little girl to the third building I had designated. Only after he went inside and reached the rooftop did I descend from my own rooftop.
Just then, Sun Wenbo's voice came: "I've arrived, where are you?"
I said, "Don't rush."
In just three or four minutes, I arrived at the rooftop where Sun Wenbo was and officially met him.

Recorder Diary 25:
"It's the 27th. After working through the night on research, we produced a semi-finished vaccine. To speed things up, we tested it directly on Lin Zijie. The effect was obvious. In less than two hours, Lin Zijie recovered, and he didn't have any problems for the next five hours. We all breathed a sigh of relief when we saw this. We finally succeeded!"
