Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox-Chapter 243: You Want My Life—So I’m Not Allowed to Fear Death?

Tang Si noticed that Song Yi was still asleep and hadn’t woken up. He bent down and brought her into his arms, heading into the house.

This time, he didn’t choose to stay in a hotel but found a homestay instead.

The hotel was too crowded and noisy.

The situation in the small village above was still unclear, and no one dared to act rashly.

Everyone who saw Tang Si carrying the woman into the house was quite surprised.

"It looks like Captain Tang really likes her. Before, Lu Yu was so attentive to him, and he almost didn’t give her a second glance. I reckon if Lu Yu weren’t his brother’s sister, he wouldn’t have paid her any mind."

"Hmm, but to be fair, the sister-in-law is really beautiful."

"But is Captain Tang really going to trade the sister-in-law with those hostages in the mountain village?"

"Who knows? Captain Tang probably has his own plan in mind."

"..."

Their conversation was lively, but Tang Si didn’t hear it, and Song Yi heard even less.

After placing Song Yi on the bed in the homestay, Tang Si got up to contact the second team.

The leader of the second team was Pan Juanfeng, in his thirties, highly capable.

And the anti-drug team members were all up there.

If negotiations didn’t go well, there might be a round of gunfire.

After gathering information, he learned that there were ten hostages above, but it was unclear exactly how many people the other side had, though it shouldn’t be fewer than twenty.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to challenge the police so arrogantly.

"When are you bringing the person up? Are you here?" Pan Juanfeng, dressed in a black trench coat, stood at the top of the mountain, his expression calm, but his eyes didn’t look good.

"Once you’re here, hurry and bring Song Yi up, or they’ll kill the hostages. Bring her to see if there’s any unclear relationship between Song Yi and their leader, then conduct a precise investigation."

Tang Si listened to his words, his grip on the phone tightening, his brows knitted, eyes emitting a sharp chill.

"Captain Pan, the police will not use innocent citizens for an exchange." Tang Si spoke coldly, "To have come to this point only shows that your abilities were insufficient, leading to this situation."

"Even if I bring Song Yi up there, can you guarantee they’ll release the people?"

"Those ten people are human, isn’t Song Yi also a human?"

Pan Juanfeng: "I didn’t mean it that way. This matter is obviously directed toward Song Yi, so let the involved party confront them face to face; that’s the best solution."

"Yes, I know, we won’t use one person to trade for another. But if the person is willing..."

"Pan Juanfeng." Tang Si coldly interrupted him, speaking word by word: "If she didn’t know about this, she wouldn’t willingly go. Once she knew, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, as long as she’s rational, she’d choose to go. Telling her this is a way to compel her, indirectly putting psychological pressure on her."

"If she doesn’t go, and those ten people end up harmed in any way, she’d feel guilty for a lifetime and it might even become a psychological burden."

"Killing doesn’t have to be with a knife; it happens in what you all think are justified circumstances."

Tang Si spoke, his tone trembling slightly, spitting out those words almost through clenched teeth.

He paused, took a breath to calm his emotions, then continued: "I’ve brought the person, but without a good plan to ensure her safety, I won’t take her up the mountain."

Tang Si’s words were irrefutable, every word cold.

"If we had a good plan, we wouldn’t have called Song Yi here. Tang Si, you may not like me usually, but we’re on a mission now. This matter is serious, don’t throw a tantrum, alright?"

Tang Si’s lips curled into a mocking smile: "What tantrum? You’re asking for my life, and I can’t be afraid of dying?"
