Chapter 896 Who is Gu Zhilan 8
He Zhilan’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she bit her lip tightly, daring not to cry out. She told herself that she believed He Teng would definitely save her.
"How is it? Still unmoved?" Lan Song was somewhat surprised seeing no change in Lan Li’s expression.
"Do you even realize how many lives you are responsible for? Drug trafficking, a vile and heinous crime. Do you think I would release a major drug lord just for a woman?" Lan Li’s tone was icy cold, "He Zhilan is a military family member, and I believe, like the soldiers, she is prepared to sacrifice herself for this country at any moment!"
"Damn it!" Lan Song cursed loudly. "Stop preaching about morality and righteousness to me, it’s all hypocrisy! You just don’t care because He Zhilan has nothing to do with you. She is merely the wife of your comrade, not your wife. Her death wouldn’t be a loss to your family, Lan Family. So, of course, you can talk so lightly!"
Lan Song’s words slightly stirred Lan Li’s expression. He glanced at He Teng, noticing a hint of anger and restraint on his face. He knew that He Zhilan’s injury could provoke He Teng, and he also worried that He Teng might truly believe Lan Song’s words, thinking his non-compromise was simply because He Zhilan had no relation to him.
"You Gu Family, Lan Family, none of you are good!" Lan Song furiously shouted, "He Teng, see? This is your comrade, he doesn’t care about your wife’s life or death at all, his only concern is earning merits. And to think you even saved his life!"
He Teng didn’t respond. Having been in the military for many years, he was fully aware of this provocation and divisive tactics. Likewise, he knew that Lan Li’s harsh words were meant to make Lan Song feel that the hostage he held was of no significant use, attempting to persuade Lan Song to release his hostage.
