The smile on Bai Xi’s face was very strange. She kicked Li Yan away and could finally openly express her disdain for him. “What are you? You’re just a lapdog who does everything I say as long as I smile at you. Where did you get the confidence to stop me?
Li Yan was stunned. “Xiao Xi, you’re not clear-headed now. I know you’re not speaking the truth. Are you trying to stall for time until the production team comes to save us?
The man who had been leaning against the wall and watching the show sneered, “The production team? A bunch of trash. We came to the ruins a few days ago to set up, and their system is all for us to use now. The ruins are full of our people. Instead of waiting for the crew to save you, its better to wait for meteorites to fall from the sky and smash us all to death.”
Lin Sen was struggling to keep his cool. “Why are you doing this? The livestream should still be on, right? You didn’t hide your faces, so everyone can see the process of the crime. Even if you kill us and leave this place, a global hunt will be waiting for you.”
“Hahaha! So what?”
The man suddenly laughed wildly. Bai Xi stared at him nervously. Because of Lin Sen’s deduction, her mind went blank and she shouted, “The I-livestream, you really didn’t turn off the livestream?
The man ignored her and walked straight toward Lin Sen. Bai Xi, who had been arrogant just now, got the answer from the man’s reaction, and her face turned as ashen as a dead person’s.
The reason why she dared to attack and speak arrogantly just now was that no one was watching. She also felt that these people would die here and could not take revenge on her outside.
Now, however, her words and actions had been seen by others, and the perfect image that she had built for decades had been shattered. Even if she could leave and no one would pursue her legal responsibility, she would not be surrounded by flowers and applause like before anymore.
It was over, it was all over.
She stared at a certain spot with a half-crying and half-laughing expression, listening to the conversation between the man and Lin Sen, but she did not let go of the dagger.
The man squatted down and looked at Lin Sen with great interest. “Are you trying to persuade me to turn myself in? Or should we abandon the plan?”
The man exuded a strong sense of hostility, and Lin Sen’s hair stood on end. This was a person who had seen blood.
Lin Sen had wanted to use the law to sway him, but now he clearly knew that these people were outlaws. Law and morality could not restrain them.
Lin Sen’s brain worked rapidly.
They caught them but did not kill them. They did not ask for ransom either.
They were not here for the money. From their clothes and behavior, it was
very likely that they were mercenaries—and their target was not them but Bai Lin.
Why? Lin-jie was just an ordinary person who was a little more skilled. Even before she participated in the show, the impression that people had of her was that of the Bai Family’s useless daughter who was not presentable.
Lin Sen thought a lot, but only a few seconds had passed in reality. He replied honestly, “There’s no point in trying to persuade you. You guys don’t care about this at all.” He paused and tried to take back the lead of the conversation.
“You’re trying to use us to force Lin-jie to come to you, right?”
The man laughed. ‘You’re smart. Do you want to join my mercenary group? You’ll be my partner after joining, and I won’t harm my partners. If Bilina doesn’t come, I’ll blow everyone up except you.”
“Bilina?” Lin Sen frowned. “Who’s that?”
The man was surprised and immediately laughed. “You don’t know either? Bilina is Bai Lin, the god of all mercenaries.”
The chit-chat ended there. The man faced the camera and showed a polite smile. “Hello, everyone. I’m Lizard, the leader of Quicksand Mercenary. Bilina—oh no, Bai Lin, you should be watching this, right? That’s what happened. I’ll withdraw all the people who are searching for you, and you can leave freely.”
“But an hour later, in addition to the five kilograms of explosives on Bai Xi, we have also specially prepared 100 kilograms of explosives for your friends as a meeting gift. I believe that the explosion will be stunning.”
He tilted his head and said maliciously, “You want to save them? Sure, come to me and then commit suicide kneeling in front of me.”
He nudged the unconscious Jin Ran with the tip of his foot. “You’d better hurry up. I think she’s about to die..”
