Inside the room, Hu Yining stared at the demon before her, her face streaked with tears of terror. He had just injected her with a drug, and although it hadn't yet taken effect, Hu Yining felt death slowly approaching. Seeing George holding a glass bottle, intending to gouge out her eyes, Hu Yining closed her eyes in despair.
George wore a strange, sinister smile, the candlelight casting a shadow on him.
He slowly approached Hu Yining, and seeing the fear in her eyes, his demonic impulses surged even stronger.
Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and an instinctive sense of danger washed over him, causing him to shift his body slightly.
Accompanied by the sound of a silenced gun going off with a 'poof'.
George quickly placed the knife against Hu Yining's neck, staring at the blood gushing from his arm, and shouted in panic and anger, "Who? Who is it?" If it hadn't been for his instinct that made him move, he would be dead by now.
He grabbed Hu Yining by the neck with one hand and dragged her off the bed.
The wind howled through the window, and Hu Yining, who was completely naked, felt goosebumps all over her body. She was a little cold, but what was even colder was the icy feeling of the scalpel on her neck.
George dragged Hu Yining along as he moved closer to another girl who was tied to a chair.
"Come out! Who is it? Do you want to save these two women? If you don't come out, I'll kill them!" George shouted in fairly fluent Chinese, with the woman behind him and Hu Yining blocking his way.
Chen Xuebing frowned. This prisoner was very clever, using hostages to block his way from both the front and back, making it impossible for the sniper to fire. He risked accidentally injuring a hostage.
Most importantly, the prisoner is holding the mayor's daughter in his possession, and the higher-ups have given a strict order to ensure the safety of the hostages.
"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'm going to start killing people." He shouted into the silent night sky outside the window. The other person's silence only confirmed that he was a Chinese government policeman.
George grabbed Hu Yining by the neck with one hand, and with the other hand holding a scalpel, he cut the rope binding the girl behind him.
"one"
"two"
"three"
Chen Xuebing was the first to jump down from the tree, shouting, "Stop!" The others behind him followed suit.
“You are Chinese police officers.” George pulled the girl behind him to the front and asked her warily.
“Yes, you released the hostage. We can discuss anything. Killing someone will only make you a wanted criminal. I don’t think you want to live a life on the run all over the world.” Chen Xuebing tried to distract George so that the hidden sniper could find a firing position.
However, George wasn't stupid. He left Hu Yining aside, used the girl as a shield, and slowly backed away until he was out of sight of the window, to prevent any sneak attacks. As for Hu Yining, she had been drugged and would soon be stiff; he couldn't use her as a hostage if he wanted to escape—she would be a burden.
"Discuss? What's there to discuss?" George clearly didn't believe Chen Xuebing's words at all, and his handsome and charming face was now contorted with rage.
"Judging from your appearance, you are British. You should know that our Chinese government does not allow the arbitrary shooting of foreigners. However, if you insist on continuing this course, then we may have no choice but to take tough measures."
