Chapter 326
"Mr. Xiong is right," Xue Luochuan chuckled.
"His daughter is in our hands, so he indeed can't make the decisions."
Xiong Zhong slumped, defeated. From that moment on, he knew he was doomed.
Whether they succeeded or not, the Wang Group would never let him off the hook. But there was nothing he could do. His own life was insignificant, but he had to find a way for his daughter to live.
She was his only daughter, his own flesh and blood. How could he stand by and watch her be defiled and humiliated?
He couldn't.
Even at great risk, even if it cost him his life.
He had to think of his daughter.
Wang Yuyan understood.
No wonder she hadn't seen Xiong Ziyi all evening. She had been controlled by someone else beforehand.
Wang Yuyan's heart sank.
The opponent's methods were extremely skilled, and every step of the plan was meticulously executed.
First, they used Xiong Ziyi as a hostage to force Xiong Zhong to comply. Xiong Zhong, under duress, had no choice but to invite them to the banquet.
During this entire time, neither the Wang family nor the Ningyue Group had detected any abnormalities.
Xiong Zhong hadn't even had time to send a warning when Xiong Ziyi was taken.
This showed that Xue Ying and his group were no ordinary adversaries.
Such a flawless operation, if done by only two people, would be a fantasy.
Xue Ying and his group were definitely more than just these two individuals present.
The scariest thing was that the more professional Xue Ying and his group were, the more terrifying they became. With such strong capabilities, who knew how many lives they had taken?
Wang Yuyan felt a sense of despair.
If there was any sliver of hope, it would undoubtedly be Qin Xuan.
But now, she couldn't contact him either.
Wang Yuyan regretted not coming to Luochuan with Qin Xuan.
What she regretted was that, in the end, she hadn't given herself to Qin Xuan.
Even though it might have been their final moments, she hadn't given herself to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan, if you can hear me, please come and save me. If not, please forget me. I hope you and Tantai will be well. If it truly comes to the last step, I will end it. Your woman will not be disgraced.
"Xiong Zhong," Wang Yuyan sighed.
"Do you think you have any way out?"
Xiong Zhong glanced at Wang Yuyan, then lowered his head, remaining silent.
He was ashamed.
He knew that no matter how this situation turned out, only death awaited him.
But as he said before, he couldn't bear to watch his daughter die because of him.
Even a frostbitten eggplant would seem more spirited than Xiong Zhong at this moment.
In an instant, Xiong Zhong seemed to have aged thirty years.
Or rather, he had long been aged, but he had held on until now for the sake of his daughter's survival.
Ultimately, he was just a pathetic father.
Feng Chenxiong wanted to curse Xiong Zhong, but in the end, he didn't.
The pain in his arm made him grimace, and considering the current predicament, what good would scolding do?
It would only make Xiong Zhong feel worse and wouldn't change the current reality.
Frankly, if he were in Xiong Zhong's shoes, he didn't know what he would choose. But that was unimportant compared to the immediate crisis.
For now, they were still alive.
As long as they were alive, there was hope.
"Xue Ying, report the situation."
A deep, magnetic male voice came through Xue Ying's earpiece.
"Boss," Xue Ying said, smiling as he scanned the room.
"Everyone is under control. This job is almost done. Damn, this job is going to make us a fortune! We'll get a good share!"
"Wait a moment," the voice in the earpiece interrupted Xue Ying's further actions.
"We've received news from the leader. The client has increased the stakes and made a new demand."
"Ah! Boss, is the leader sure about this? Stirring up more trouble at a time like this?"
