Chapter 920: Isn't He Trying to Take Revenge on Him?

Almost at the same time, the people behind Li Xiao all tightened their grips on the guns in their hands in unison!

Cai Xiaotang also stared blankly at the person before her, not understanding why he had suddenly walked over.

Immediately following—"Let her go, and that batch of goods tomorrow night, you can take it away; no one will stop you."

Li Xiao offered another condition.

On the way here just now, he had already considered all the bargaining chips he could use to trade with the other party.

But as soon as the words fell, he heard Linke give a disdainful cold snort, seemingly not taking it to heart.

"So in your heart, she is only worth a batch of goods?"

He asked back, the gun pressed against the back of Cai Xiaotang's head showing no intention of leaving.

Then, he swept a glance at his trusted aide beside him without changing his expression, a dark glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The other party immediately understood, raising a hand to tap the watch face on his wrist a few times.

Only then did Linke withdraw his gaze, the corner of his lips revealing that same look of confidence.

On the way here just now, they had already sent the signal; even if most of the people they brought were blocked, it did not mean he had no one to use now.

Once his people arrived...

Neither Li Xiao nor this woman would be able to leave!

Linke thought to himself while indifferently waiting for Li Xiao to continue adding to his conditions.

Li Xiao pursed his lips tightly, his gaze also not missing a single spot as he scanned the area.

Linke had just asked him if he knew why he had driven the cars here...

Therefore, he must have set something up here in advance!

If it were people, they should have appeared by this time; they wouldn't have waited until now.

So, there was only one possibility.

That was explosives!

They had confiscated quite a few things from the Viper back then, but no one could be completely certain that those were all of them.

Now it seemed there were indeed places they hadn't checked.

And now, all these things had fallen into Linke's hands...

He didn't know how many he had placed here, but if they were the type of miniature bombs he had seen before, just a little would be enough to cause a large-scale explosion.

Even a chain reaction of explosions!

Plus, this was a factory...

Li Xiao scanned his surroundings quickly without changing his expression, wanting to see if he could discover anything suspicious.

The next second—"I said I don't need you to save me!"

Cai Xiaotang's voice suddenly rang out, abruptly pulling Li Xiao back to his thoughts.

He caught her gaze off guard, and his heart gave another sharp tug.

Cai Xiaotang was truly getting a bit anxious.

This fox-man was clearly just stalling for time!

Couldn't her brother and Li Xiao see that?

Even if her words just now lacked credibility, they should have understood what she meant by now, right?

She didn't want anyone to use themselves to trade for her!

Cai Xiaotang thought, unable to help but struggle forward!

"Behave!"

Seeing this, Linke's trusted aide immediately stepped forward and yanked her hard!

Li Xiao's eyes, however, suddenly lit up fiercely.

It was in this split second.

He suddenly saw an oil drum placed in the distance, diagonally behind the other party.

The oil drum looked ordinary enough, but because of a blind spot in his vision earlier, it had been completely blocked by the other party.

And because they had yanked Cai Xiaotang just now, it had been exposed.

In less than a second.

Li Xiao keenly caught a glimpse of a tiny dark red flash at the edge of the oil drum from the corner of his eye.

A bomb had been placed in that position!

He paused slightly, then glanced at the lapel of his own chest without changing his expression.

Then he said directly: "I'll go with you."

"Li Xiao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang screamed out, glaring at him with red-rimmed eyes.

But she could do nothing, only able to watch helplessly as he moved a few steps closer again, until he was standing right before her.

"Tsk, finally made up your mind."

Linke was finally satisfied, secretly calculating in his heart when his people would arrive.

Without backup, it would be a bit troublesome to take both of them away from that group of people on the other side...

This matter had to be handled with absolute safety.

He had to wait a little longer...

"I've already agreed to you, let her go."

Seeing Linke not speaking, Li Xiao couldn't help but urge him.

Immediately following, he suddenly heard—a "click" sound.

Cai Xiaotang was also stunned; feeling her right hand suddenly gain freedom, she was unable to react for a moment.

The next second—she suddenly felt something being shoved into her palm.

Then, the person behind her gripped her wrist and slowly raised it.

Only then did she see clearly that what she was holding in her hand was actually a dagger!

The man's demonic voice also sounded from behind—"It's still early, why don't we do something interesting first?"

As Linke spoke, he pointed the tip of the knife in Cai Xiaotang's hand toward Li Xiao, then let go.

"Didn't you say he was a scumbag and a heartless man? And that he drugged you, causing you to miscarry? Now... the chance for revenge has come."

Cai Xiaotang looked at the tip of the knife in her hand, feeling her whole body turn cold.

What was this madman saying...

How could she possibly use a knife to hurt Li Xiao!

Cai Xiaotang's hands were trembling with nervousness; she looked helplessly at the person in front of her, her eyes full of refusal.

No...

She absolutely could not...

The tip of the knife slowly drooped.

The next second, however, it was lifted again by someone gripping her wrist.

"What? Can't bring yourself to do it?"

He deliberately put on a tone of surprise, as if he were truly shocked that Cai Xiaotang was actually reluctant.

Immediately after, he suddenly lowered his voice and threatened in a whisper: "Since you can't bring yourself to do it, how about I do it instead? But if it's me... there's no telling where I might stab..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately gripped the knife in her hand tightly, fearing that he would truly snatch it away the next second.

In the distance—the veins on the foreheads of Lao Wu and the others were already bulging, and they couldn't help but want to rush forward.

"Damn it!"

Lao San was the first who couldn't hold back and immediately wanted to step forward!

But just as he moved—"Don't you want her life anymore!"

The gun in Linke's hand pressed directly against Cai Xiaotang's temple, and he then smiled with an expression of indifference.

"If you're bold enough, just try it. I guarantee that the moment you fire, her head will bloom!"

Lao San stood frozen in place, his face full of resentment.

Seeing this, Linke couldn't help but chuckle.

He simply loved the thrill of playing everyone in the palm of his hand.

He then whispered to Cai Xiaotang again: "Still haven't decided?"

"I... I've decided!"

Cai Xiaotang answered stutteringly, her throat even hoarse, with only one thought in her mind.

This knife must never fall into the hands of that pervert!

But...

But if she did that...

She would have to hurt Li Xiao...

Where?

Where would cause him the least amount of harm?

Cai Xiaotang's tears kept rolling out of her eyes, almost blurring her vision; no matter where she looked, she still couldn't bring herself to move the knife in front of her even an inch closer.

No...

She couldn't do it.

No matter where it was, she couldn't bear to.

Rather than this, it would be better to...

A flash of determination suddenly crossed Cai Xiaotang's eyes, and she suddenly turned the knife tip toward herself!

The next second—her wrist was violently grabbed, and she was pulled forward uncontrollably!
