“Look at all these people, you sacrificed your life to save them but they didn’t even look at you in the eye, much less to say a word of thanks.” The fake Xuan Yue mocked at Xiang Wan as if she was chatting with her. “Do you believe this? Even if you died here, what they thought the most is not about your sacrifice or help. They will only be glad that they had got away unscathed!”

Xiang Wan agreed with her viewpoint.

But so what if that was the case? She had already made her choice.

Xiang Wan said calmly, “There’s still a little girl.”

She looked at the counter where the little girl was. “Let her go too!”

“Hur! What’s the hurry, take it slow…” The fake Xuan Yue laughed. Instead, she continued to make her request. “Xiang Gongzi, remove your long coat and throw it on the floor. And the muffler too, throw it on the floor!”

“… What do you want to do?”

“I’m worried that you have a weapon on you. I’m just trying to be careful.”

Xiang Wan deliberated for a moment and started to remove her muffler.

“Don’t you think you’re being too careful? I don’t know how to shoot and I’m not the police. The police won’t allow me to carry a gun…”

“Better safe than sorry. If I’m not careful, do you think I can survive till this day?” The fake Xuan Yue whistled at Xiang Wan who was removing her long coat and muffler. “Your figure’s great! No wonder Bai Muchuan’s so infatuated with you…”

“You can let her go now.” Xiang Wan didn’t want to waste her breath on fake Xuan Yue.

The little girl was still blocking her from seeing the fake Xuan Yue. The existence of the little girl might be a big obstacle for them to nab the fake Xuan Yue alive.

“Xiang Gongzi, why did I have a feeling that I’m suffering a disadvantage here?” The fake Xuan Yue poked the little girl’s back as she said. “Don’t cry, it’s so d*mn annoying!”

The little girl was like a water tap, she could cry and stop at will.

She immediately stopped wailing and could only sob after getting a scolding.

The fake Xuan Yue poked the little girl’s back with her gun. “This little kid is soft, light and easy to control. You’re an adult and it’s not convenient for me to bring you along if I want to escape. I just thought about it earlier. This exchange of hostages is a big disadvantage for me!”

“One should honor their words!”

Pffft! The fake Xuan Yue broke into a guffaw. “You’re actually talking to a criminal about honor?”

“Xuan Yue, I think you need to know one thing. If you kill her and me, you wouldn’t be able to walk out of here alive. Only by cooperating with the police, you can get a chance to survive… I advise you to think about it clearly! Don’t play these kinds of tricks!”

“I’m very serious about wanting to live. Give me a break, didn’t I already released the five hostages?”

Xiang Wan looked at the little girl’s tear-streaked face. “So what more do you want?”

“It’s simple!” The fake Xuan Yue laughed. “I’ll take this little girl with me. Once I got out of here safely, I’ll release both you and her…”

“Xuan Yue, you’re not being reasonable here!”

“You’re right, I’m not being reasonable!”

Xiang Wan inhaled deeply and stayed at her spot.

“Fine…”

She had no choice but to take things as they come.

She asked the fake Xuan Yue, “What do you want to do next?”

Xuan Yue looked at her lazily. “I feel that you still have quite a lot of clothing on you!”

Xiang Wan pursed her lips together. “…”

She stretched out both arms. “Just look at me, do you think I have a weapon with me?”

“It doesn’t mean that you don’t have a weapon when you don’t look like you have it. Didn’t you already know? The police are the most cunning of all. What if there’s some kind of powder or invisible explosives?”

Invisible explosives? Was there such an advanced thing?

But if it was invisible, who would be able to ignite it?

Xiang Wan was so indignant that she showed a disparaging smile. “Are you telling me that you’ll only believe me when I’m naked?”

“Mm.” The fake Xuan Yue suddenly chuckled. “That’s a good idea!”

Perhaps the fake Xuan Yue thought that it felt especially fun to treat Xiang Wan this way. Even her voice eased up when she talked to Xiang Wan. “A naked woman wouldn’t be able to harm me, much less escape when the weather is so cold. Xiang Gongzi is indeed a smart person. You helped me come up with a good idea.”

“Don’t carry things too far.” Xiang Wan let out a sneer. “You’ll lose more than you gain.”

“Tch!” The fake Xuan Yue let out a snort. “Be rest assured, I’m not interested in your naked body. You may start now, strip down to your underwear!”

“I’ll freeze to death.” Xiang Wan was so infuriated that she couldn’t flare up. “If I froze to death, what will you use to exchange your life with Bai Muchuan?”

“Don’t I still have this little girl?” The fake Xuan Yue laughed, then showed a taunting smirk.

“Hah! Do you think this little girl can be your life-saving bargaining chip? If I died, what do you have to prevent Bai Muchuan’s revenge?”

“So what? At most, I’ll just lose my life!”

This woman!

Nothing could convince her!

Xiang Wan was flustered and troubled inside.

This was the first time she did something like this. She wasn’t as calm as she had thought.

At this moment, Xuan Yue was definitely extreme and dangerous.

Maybe in the next second, she would be angry and kill the two of them once and for all.

Maybe, if she was not careful, any word she said might agitate her.

“Fine, I’ll do it!”

Xiang Wan slowly removed her woolen sweater and threw it gently on the ground.

“Will this do?”

“Continue to strip!” The fake Xuan Yue’s voice came from behind the counter with a smiling tone. Her voice was sharp and shrill. “Xiang Gongzi’s nice figure triggered my interest. I want to take a look at how you look like when you’re only left with your underwear. How will Bai Muchuan look when he saw this as well. Hahahaha… This is so fun…”

After that, she immediately stopped laughing. “Strip!”

Xiang Wan looked at her in disbelief. “This is an underwear too.”

The fake Xuan Yue commanded coldly without any indication that she would negotiate. “Strip! Otherwise, I’ll shoot!”

Xiang Wan was now down to her thin thermal underwear. Although the cafe was equipped with an adequate amount of heaters, maybe it was because she was stressed and had a heavy heart, or maybe she was originally scared of the cold, but she actually felt so cold, her body was numb and chilly all over. She hugged herself and looked towards the direction of the counter. As she was trembling in the cold, even her voice was quivering.

“Xuan Yue, you’re a woman yourself. Do you really think that your request is appropriate? I rather not want my life if I have to appear naked in public with so many pairs of eyes watching!”

The fake Xuan Yue did not have any compassion at all. “Do I think I care?” she even mocked at Xiang Wan. “Who asked you to exchange yourself for their lives? Who asked you to have love? You don’t have a say in this. Xiang Gongzi, just strip!”

This was a woman who finds cathartic pleasure from other people’s pain.

There should be a problem with her mental state of mind.

Xiang Wan did not want to argue with her. She let out a sneer and lowered her head slightly.

She had been conversing with the fake Xuan Yue for a long time, which drained a lot of her energy. She was feeling nervous and tired.

Hence, she believed that as the fake Xuan Yue had been sitting behind the counter for such a long time, she had also been focusing her energy to negotiate and was wary of her environment. She would certainly be more nervous and exhausted than Xiang Wan.

I only have one chance! Xiang Wan thought to herself. It was a do or die situation.

Xiang Wan believed that they could see her!

“You’re really incorrigible—” Xiang Wan clasped the neckline of her thermal underwear, her eyes stared wide-opened at the direction of the counter. As if she got agitated, she gritted her teeth and pointed at the counter. “Since you’re so unreasonable, there’s no way I will cooperate with you either. I’ll leave now, you can do what you want…”

Before she could finish her words, she turned her body and started to walk away.

“How dare you!”

The fake Xuan Yue held the little girl’s body and lifted her gun up—
