"This, this... this joke has gone a bit too far," Liu said with an apologetic smile.
Ye Yunyi stood tall, looking down at Liu Da with a determined gaze, while Liu Da wore a fake smile, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
"Liu Da, you have no right to negotiate with me now. We've taken you all down. Don't you know how to get what you want? You should think about what bargaining chips you have left to save your lives." Ye Yunyi's voice was clear, but it carried an unquestionable tone.
Liu Da could hold back, but Liu Er couldn't. He sneered, "Ye Yunyi, don't think we'll give in so easily. My brothers won't follow your orders so readily."
Ye Yunyi smiled slightly: "Liu Er, perhaps you haven't grasped your current situation." She then addressed her men, Liu Da and Liu Er, who were bound together and huddled together, saying, "Gentlemen, you can see your predicament clearly now, right? I'm giving you a chance. If you choose to submit to us, I can spare your lives. Remember, you have no right to ask what organization we are, nor what I can offer you. Your lives are now in my hands. Those who submit to me prosper, those who resist perish."
Oh no, Sister Yiyi has fallen for this crazy style. Xiao Deng thought to himself.
Wang Zixiang and Liu Yanran also looked surprised, while Zhao Yong remained relatively calm.
Although these people have been brought under control, there are over 100 of them, while they only have about 20. This is a huge disparity. If the other side is motivated by Liu Da or Liu Er and rises up in resistance, they will inevitably suffer losses. Only by dividing and weakening them before that can this hidden crisis be resolved.
This is a mindset that only those who have been working hard outside for a long time and are in a leadership position possess. Having followed his sister for so long, Liu Yong has come to understand Ye Yunyi's style of doing things very well. She is cautious and always thinks ten steps ahead for every step she takes, especially after Qiangzi's death. She always has the habit of calculating all the possible outcomes of a matter and the crises and accidents that may occur.
Of course, she also became increasingly serious and unsmiling. She trusted many people, but there were few she could completely trust, so she always took matters into her own hands.
She was exhausted, but those under her protection felt relaxed and safe.
"I, I'm willing." Hu Cheng was the first to raise his hand. He hadn't had a good life here either, but with his friendship with Wang Zixiang, going there would be better than staying here.
After Hu Cheng became the first, a thin-looking boy in his early teens slowly spoke up: "I'm willing too."
A minute later, another man said, "I'm willing too, please spare my family."
“Of course, surrender and you won’t be killed,” Ye Yunyi said. Her tone was naturally gentle and sweet, and now it sounded like a spring breeze. They had almost forgotten that she was the one who had just said “those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.”
"Move those who are willing to move to the right." Ye Yunyi pointed to the empty space on the right.
Soon someone moved them there.
"Hu Cheng, you bastard! Xiao Gu Zi, Xie Ju, you two cowards, I'll kill you!" Liu Er roared viciously.
His shout startled those who were still hesitant.
Xiao Deng slapped Liu Er to the ground. A little blood trickled from the corner of Liu Er's mouth. He glared angrily at Xiao Deng, about to start lashing out again. Xiao Deng yanked off his smelly sock and stuffed it into his mouth. Only Liu Er's muffled whimpering sounds remained.
"I'll give you one more minute to choose. After one minute, you won't have a chance to back out," Ye Yunyi said calmly.
As soon as the words were spoken, people rushed to say, "I do, I do."
A minute later, more than 60 people had been moved to the right, while more than 30 remained in place. Ye Yunyi looked at these people and said, "Not bad, they have backbone." After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands and then said, "Take them out and shoot them."
Ye Yunyi's men immediately pulled others away. Some of those who remained had already begun to beg for mercy, but the dozen or so men who had been protecting Liu Da remained expressionless throughout. "They're real men," Ye Yunyi thought to herself. "It's a pity I can't use them."
"Wait, wait a minute," Liu Da suddenly shouted to stop them.
Everyone looked at Ye Yunyi, who waved her hand, signaling everyone to pause and listen to what Liu Da had to say.
"Heroine, boss, we surrender. Please spare our lives. From now on, if you tell us to go east, we will never go west. Besides, I also have information to exchange with the ambulance."
"Oh, but is Liu Er also as you think?" Ye Yunyi asked.
“Of course, of course, he’s my brother, he listens to me.” As he spoke, he kept winking at Liu Er. Although Liu Er was extremely unwilling, he wasn’t stupid. With his stinky sock stuffed in his mouth, he couldn’t speak, so he could only nod heavily.
"Alright, since that's the case, then we're family from now on." Ye Yunyi personally untied Liu Da.
Liu Da rubbed his wrists, which were red from being tied up, straightened his pajamas, and bowed to Ye Yunyi, saying, "Your younger brother Liu Da greets your elder brother."
"Well, there's no need for such formality." Ye Yunyi gently helped him up, and instead of untying the others, she invited Liu Da to sit down. Liu Da sat down at the lower end of the table.
"Liu Da, this place is no longer suitable for you. You need to find somewhere else to stay." Ye Yunyi then looked at the magnificent and exquisite decor and said, "That place can't compare to this. Would you be willing?"
Liu Da dared not disobey. "Yes, yes. Wherever you say we'll stay, that's fine."
"Alright, let's untie the brothers and get ready to set off."
"Liu Da, then tell us about the ambulance." Ye Yunyi didn't let Liu Da leave.
General Liu led Ye Yunyi into his office. The key they couldn't find before was actually hidden in a mechanism in the wall. It wasn't his doing, so outsiders couldn't see or find it.
Liu Da wasn't much of a figure, but his office was quite elegant, resembling the offices of some high-ranking government officials.
This is a spacious yet mysterious space. The office is simply and elegantly furnished, with a large desk in the center, upon which are some documents. By the window, a row of green plants grows very well, showing that they are usually carefully tended to.
Behind the desk was a tall safe, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
Against the wall, there is a row of genuine leather sofas, with a coffee table in front of them, on which are tea utensils.
Liu Da skillfully brewed tea, and then recounted his connection with the ambulance.
