Unexpectedly, the fatter thug said, "She really wasn’t wrong. Bringing these two little ones is a burden. I think we should just take the girl; she’s pretty enough. Anyway, as long as there’s someone to take the fall for us, maybe we can have some fun before we die."
The tall thug agreed: "Alright, if we can’t make it out alive, it’s not bad to have a pretty girl die with us."
The fat thug shouted loudly, "You come here first, and I’ll let go of the boy."
Ye Silai shouted loudly, "Don’t come over."
Ye Siyan was too young to understand his brother’s words, and frightened, he kept crying, "I want sister, I want sister."
The police on the other side were also on edge, quietly cooperating, trying to find a breakthrough.
Then Yu Xinyan said, "No, you have to let one go first. After I come over, you can release the other one, and I’ll trade places with him."
The tall thug squinted at Yu Xinyan, sizing her up, "Didn’t expect you could bargain. But I’m betting you wouldn’t dare play tricks."
Perhaps also thinking that letting go of one and still having one left would make the police hesitant to act rashly, they directly pushed the crying Ye Siyan over.
Yu Xinyan quickly shouted, "Siyan, go over to the police officers."
Ye Siyan stumbled as he tried to come towards Yu Xinyan, but Yu Xinyan sternly said, "Ye Siyan, go to the police officers. If you don’t listen, I won’t pay attention to you ever again."
Ye Siyan had never seen his sister so angry, and stood there for quite a while before moving again. But he might have been really scared, as he fell several times over what was just a few dozen meters.
Yu Xinyan’s eyes turned red with compassion.
Finally, the child crossed the midpoint, and a police officer came forward to pick him up.
Then the fat thug said, "Stop dawdling and come over to exchange now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinyan’s head buzzed. She was actually very scared but knew she couldn’t back down now. Siyan was safe, but Sili was still in their hands.
She walked up from the slope, the police were also anxious but had no other way. Any plan could potentially harm the child, so they could only try to find a flaw when exchanging the hostages.
At this moment, the sniper hidden at a high point was already aiming, just waiting for the right opportunity.
Unfortunately, these two had strong counter-surveillance abilities. They seemed to have realized something and insisted Yu Xinyan enter the hiding spot behind the rocks before they released Ye Silai.
They even threatened that if she didn’t comply, they would make Ye Silai bleed first.
Yu Xinyan had no choice; eager to save lives, she followed their instructions and went in.
The fat thug saw Yu Xinyan didn’t play any tricks and indeed didn’t want to carry a burden. As he was about to release the hostage, a few new police officers tried to sneak over privately.
As a result, they were spotted by the fat thug, which infuriated him. Yu Xinyan saw his face change instantly and heard the tall thug’s angry curses, realizing something went wrong.
Seeing the fat thug hadn’t turned back his attention, Yu Xinyan seized the opportunity and charged forward, grabbing the man’s hands and pulling them apart forcefully, freeing Ye Silai.
Yu Xinyan didn’t hesitate: "Run!"
While speaking, she pulled the fat thug towards the tall thug to prevent him from lunging at and grabbing Ye Silai.
Ye Silai, tears streaming down his face, cried out, exhausted: "Sister!"
