Chapter 682: Who to Save?
"That’s easy enough, Mr. Shen, but what I’m more curious about right now is who you would choose if you had to. Would it be your old major customer, or the dancer you’re with currently? I’m actually quite curious about your love story, so why don’t you just tell me directly?
If you tell me, I can also think about whether or not to let him go. It doesn’t seem great to persist like this, does it? Look at all these people surrounding us and taking pictures. You don’t want to keep this up, do you? Your bar business will get harder and harder. I only come here occasionally, though I must say it’s quite fun and I wouldn’t want it to be demolished.
But if you’re not willing to cooperate, then there’s nothing I can do. If you’re willing to cooperate now, we still have things we can talk about. If you’re not, then we can only keep this standoff going. It might end with your bar drawing the rage of countless people until it’s destroyed. Such a good idea wasted just like that.
You must be pretty unwilling to accept this. In the future, surely many new stars will follow your lead. Then guess how many people will remember your name? Young man, I advise you to be wise and take the opportunity now. I’m giving you one more chance. I don’t want to see you ruined, so that’s why I’m offering this chance. Isn’t that right?"
The lieutenant said this line purposefully, though in his heart he just wanted to watch the drama unfold—he wasn’t really thinking that much. He also wanted to see them pushing blame onto each other, probably his only pleasure. As if making a choice now would ruin everything—that was impossible, considering the police had already surrounded them today.
This had already damaged the bar’s reputation. Who would want to come here for a drink after this? Very few, most certainly, and that meant their goal was achieved. The lieutenant was quite happy, seeing how his power could simply destroy this bar with a few tricks.
The thought of boasting about this for a lifetime was delightful, although he’d need to be alive to do so. Looking at those police officers, he felt sure they wouldn’t let them leave so easily. So what could be done?
A detailed plan was already taking shape in the lieutenant’s mind. While Zhang Xu was desperately pleading, and the lieutenant was engrossed in his own thoughts, with everyone’s attention fixed on him, nobody noticed Lin Qi quietly pulling out a very delicate small knife from her sleeve, and in a swift movement, she had taken the lieutenant hostage.
The action was so quick that no one had time to react, and chaos ensued. Lin Qi was quick and very strong.
The scene was chaotic; no one expected that the assailant would be such a delicate woman. The lieutenant was a bit flustered, but having dealt with the dark forces all his life, how could he fear a mere woman?
