Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 604 - 467: Why Did She Have to Marry Yin Shixiu (Second Update—Please Vote for Me!!)

Chapter 604: Chapter 467: Why Did She Have to Marry Yin Shixiu (Second Update—Please Vote for Me!!)

Natural disasters and man-made calamities are far more satisfying than their painstaking calculations.

Yin Bowen’s thoughts were malicious, but he was evidently not as sinister or cunning as his father.

At this moment, the video used to threaten the British Government continued to spread and circulate.

How many mothers’ hearts tightened! How many people unconsciously gripped the hands of their beloved ones!

How many people watched the video, gritted their teeth, secretly palpitating with relief that such a terrifying thing did not fall upon themselves.

And how many people were thinking...

If only this was a video of a three-year-old child playing the piano, how wonderful would it be?

Yet, under a scene that should be lovely and heartwarming, worthy of admiration and praise—

A man wielding a submachine gun, with a mask that exposed his rough, unruly beard, made negotiable demands to the British Government in fluent yet uncivil English!

And the harsh conditions put forward in these negotiations made many feel hopeless.

Forget about only exchanging one person, Prince Harry, the British Government could not possibly agree, let alone the man also demanded a billion-dollar ransom and other trivial conditions.

However, what made people despair the most were not just the negotiation terms that the British Government was unlikely to concede, but also... the deadline.

If there is no accurate response within 48 hours, after 48 hours, heads of ten people would be chopped off every hour.

Even ordinary civilians understand that once such a terrorist incident steps into a large-scale hostage-taking stage, what follows is a tug-of-war.

Yet these perpetrators are no fools, not foolish enough to give a country’s government too much preparation time.

Any organization, any group aiming to confront an entire nation is indeed an egg hitting a rock.

With such limited chips in hand, if the British Government is dead set on preventing these people from succeeding, then as long as they make some effort to rescue the hostages, even if they ultimately fail, what can the citizens do?

Won’t they just curse these inhuman and brutal perpetrators?

Then offer powerless condolences to those who died in the disaster?

Once the government catches these perpetrators, the citizens’ anger and pain will focus on these perpetrators...

How many would blame the government for being "cold-blooded" and ineffective?

After all... the government has indeed done its best.

When Yin Shiqing got this news, he was at the Shi Family’s home, sitting face to face with Shi Haiyan and Shi Yuancheng, glanced at the news, and then let out a cold laugh,

"What a good opportunity. It seems even the heavens favor me more!"

"Not necessarily, right?"

Shi Haiyan couldn’t help but say, watching the news,

"The old man’s grandchildren became hostages. The old man cannot remain indifferent. He will definitely find a way to save them."

Shi Yuancheng picked up a teacup and took a sip,

"Indeed, Hai Yan is not wrong."

"If Yin Shaohui opens his mouth, the person sitting in that position won’t completely ignore it. On the surface, the incident happened abroad, and it’s inappropriate for China to intervene to avoid triggering diplomatic issues."

"But given there are Chinese among the hostages, and now the sensational news spreading everywhere, it’s enough to make all countries pay attention."

"If the Military Commission really wants to intervene, it’s not entirely without room to maneuver."

Shi Yuancheng had a long-sighted vision, seeing Yin Family’s daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter as innocent hostages. Still, the Yin Family are Chinese too.

Based on this point, as long as someone remembers the various merits and achievements of Yin Shaohui, they will not be completely unconcerned.

Shi Haiyan added another sentence.

Shi Yuancheng nodded,

Yin Shiqing let out another cold snort,

"Didn’t you hear? The deadline given by the perpetrators is 48 hours. At this point, would I give them a way out?"

Yin Shixiu casually said, without a trace of emotion.

"No way out" sounded as simple and nonchalant as "won’t give them food."

Shi Yuancheng wasn’t puzzled or surprised by Yin Shiqing’s words.

He merely held his tea cup, with rough fingers rubbing the antique tea cup, an old crafty look in his brows and eyes.

A shallow curve slightly tugged at his lips.

Shi Haiyan was momentarily stunned, but it was just for a moment. Soon, she understood her husband’s meaning.

If the Yin Family and Bai Family indeed persuaded that person, and China sent troops to reinforce and rescue hostages, then Yin Shaohui’s people could be involved, and Yin Shiqing also had a way to integrate his people.

In such a large-scale hostage-taking case, with the hostage being the government of a country directly, there have never been good endings historically.

Rescuing hostages, especially so many, would surely lead to a chaotic scene, and accidental deaths in chaos are certainly not new.

So... Yin Shaohui is 100% sure that the British Government will definitely not compromise with these culprits!

Su Xiaomeng and the siblings won’t survive three days.

————

Shi Haiyan’s analysis was correct.

The news of Su Xiaomeng, Shuangshuang, and Huanghuang being kidnapped reached the ears of Yin Shaohui and Bai Fengmao, and the two elders could no longer sit still.

In fact, it wasn’t just the two elders who were restless, right?

Bai Sixian tried to be strong as usual, telling herself it wasn’t the worst situation yet and that she must stay calm.

But she couldn’t do it.

The short video did not only contain the scene of Prince Huang playing the piano, but also countless hostages huddled with their heads down, their bodies filthy with conspicuous bloodstains!

Seeing this left Bai Sixian frightened and unable to breathe.

Su Chengji was dumbfounded at the sight...

What kind of mess is this?

Why does his Xiao Meng have to endure so many hardships? Again and again... battling with death!

His poor child...

How many lives could possibly withstand such torment?

And his adorable grandchildren, not yet even three years old...

How could the heavens be so ruthless to torment them? How could the heavens allow his lovely and filial daughter to endure such suffering...

Bai Sixian’s limbs went limp, and she couldn’t even hold onto her phone steadily!

Su Chengji picked up the phone that dropped to the floor, and Bai Sixian snatched it away, dialing an overseas call to Yin Shixiu’s phone.

By this time, night had already fallen in Beijing, while it was only two in the afternoon in London.

When Yin Shixiu answered the call, his voice lost its usual calm and steadiness,

"Mom..."

"What happened?! Yin Shixiu! Tell me clearly! What the hell happened?!"

Bai Sixian shouted nearly hysterically!

The grieving woman was a sobbing mess!

Her entire body trembled with remorse in her heart!

Why, why did she comply with Xiao Meng’s wishes to marry into such a tumultuous family at that time!

If it weren’t for Yin Shixiu! If not for the Yin Family!

Why would she need to go to London? Study what nonsense? Learn what damn translation?!

She never wished for her Xiao Meng to have great achievements, nor wanted her to be highly capable.

She only wanted her to be happy, to be peaceful and secure...

"Mom, please calm down—"

"You want me to calm down!! Yin Shixiu, why is my daughter’s life uncertain now?! Why does my daughter have to suffer so much with you? What did you promise me?! This is your so-called promise to protect her, to take good care of her! This is your reassurance before taking her to London?! Now, you can’t even guarantee her safety! Time and again?! Yin Shix—"

"Sixian!"

"Mom!"

Su Chengji screamed and hurriedly supported the emotionally collapsing Bai Sixian, who couldn’t bear it and fainted!

Yin Shixiu also knew things were not looking good...

This was the first time Bai Sixian’s inner world truly crumbled.

Yin Shixiu wiped his face and struck the nearby wall with a heavy punch!

Was the torment he endured in his heart any less than Bai Sixian’s?! No...

But faced with Bai Sixian’s grief and indignant questioning, he found himself unable to answer a single word. He also wanted to know why...

Why does Xiao Meng keep suffering when she is with him...
