506 Hostage Negotiation (2/2)
Xiao San's people had not worked with Han Chu before, and they did not know what to do but to follow the other two out the car for now.
Jennifer looked as arrogant as before, but there was a barely discernible madness in her eyes. For Ye Shuang, she could see how dangerous the situation was from micro-expression, but Han Chu could not. The professional issue aside, the man did not have the ability to see someone's expression clearly from more than ten meters away.
Seeing the 'hostage' whom Han Chu was holding, Jennifer's eyes lit up. She licked her lips and took a step forward with the gun pointing at Han Chu. She hoarsely said, ”Give him to me.”
Han Chu was not worried and raised his gun at Ye Shuang. ”Why should I?”
Ye Shuang, who was acting alongside Han Chu, was not worried, but Jennifer was unsettled. She desperately wanted to say something but stopped herself at the last moment. ”…Give him to me, and I can let you all go safely.”
Han Chu smiled easily. ”I don't quite believe you…”
He wished to drag this out, so it was normal for him to play with Jennifer. Since the person valued the 'hostage' so much, he would naturally use this to his advantage. Furthermore, no one had contacted Jennifer yet, so at least this proved that Xiao San's group was still safe, and the car that had left ahead had not been stopped.
Negotiations went both ways. Han Chu was worried that he might be exposed, and he had to make it so that it looked like this was his last, desperate stand. Only by having the other party understand would Ye Shuang's chance of being exposed be lowered, and the chance of them succeeding would be increased. With this plan in mind, Han Chu wanted to say something else when he was squeezed by Ye Shuang silently.
”Something is wrong with her voice.” Ye Shuang lowered her voice and then changed her voice to plead for help. She then purposely struggled twice so that Han Chu would pull her closer. ”Be careful. She might just start firing; the woman is highly unstable.”
Han Chu shuddered.
Jennifer indeed almost fired. She was under a great amount of internal pressure. The only thing that could save her was the hostage whom Ye Shuang was pretending to be. What Han Chu had said was within the normal range for a negotiation, but it already annoyed her to the point that she wanted to fire a warning shot. If Ye Shuang did not stop Han Chu, one of Xiao San's people would have died.
Having her rationality pulled back by the 'hostage', Jennifer pressed her lips and warned for the last time, ”Give me the man, and I promise I'll let you go.”
