Zhou Si pursed his lips, his eyes were cold, but he couldn't say anything. He really couldn't refute it.

He really couldn't ignore the safety of these people.

But if we let this lunatic go, it won't be so easy to catch him next time...

Professor Yuri was very satisfied to see that he seemed to be shaken, and he also saw hope of escape.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately raised his voice and said sternly: "Zhou Si, I don't have much time to waste with you, make a decision quickly.

Otherwise, if I get upset and accidentally press the button a few times, we'll all perish together!"

Before he finished speaking, the remote control in his hand shook slightly, and the threat was obvious in his words.

Austin saw this and quickly said, "Professor Yuri, I guess you want to leave through my channel, right?

If that’s the case, let’s make a deal. If the next action goes smoothly, the accounts between us will be written off.

I'll let you go, and you don't have to bother me."

He paused, his eyes swept over Zhou Si, and his tone was firm, "As for Zhou Si, I have no objection if you want to take him away."

Professor Yuri sneered and said coldly, "What, you don't want your prey anymore?"

Austin smiled slightly and responded frankly, "It's best to get the prey in a safe situation.

But if you can't get it, then your own life is naturally more important.

After all, I don’t want to be blown up here and die in vain.”

His words reveal a pragmatic and calm survival wisdom.

Zhou Si's face was very ugly, staring at Austin, "You really don't have the slightest sense of contract."

Austin said calmly, "That's fine. After all, I cherish my life... As long as I'm alive, everything has meaning, right?"

His posture was calm, stating a very realistic truth.

"you……"

Zhou Si was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Finally, he suppressed his anger and had to compromise: "I can go with you."

He took a deep breath and glanced at his men in the corner, "But before that, I have to get my men out of here safely."

Professor Yuri snorted coldly, his tone icy and unquestionable, "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions now."

Zhou Si was very calm and asked, "Really? But you don't want to die. I've already taken a step back. Don't push your luck."

I have agreed to be your hostage, so I must ensure the safe retreat of my people."

He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his words settle, and continued, "Otherwise, what if you take him and me on the plane, but then suddenly change your mind and press the button?

So, since we are going to trade, it must be fair.

You have to understand that this is not a one-sided concession.”

Professor Yuri gripped the remote control tightly, his knuckles turning white.

This guy is indeed difficult to deal with, cunning and calm.

However... judging from the current situation, I still have the advantage.

So, he agreed, "Okay, let them go, but you can't move. If I find you, if you take a step, I will immediately press the button."

Zhou Si nodded, his expression unchanged, and promised, "I won't move."

He then turned sideways and gave orders in a steady voice, asking all his men to retreat from the castle without delay.

When the subordinate heard this, he was shocked and said, "How can this be possible? If we leave, we leave together."

Zhou Si's attitude did not allow for discussion. He sternly said, "Do not disobey my orders. Everyone, retreat, immediately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone did not dare to delay and had to leave the rooftop.

Soon, his men retreated from the castle like a tide.

The building that was once bustling with activity was suddenly empty, leaving only Professor Yuri and his men, as well as Zhou Si and Austin on the rooftop.

Professor Yuri curled his lips into a cold smile and said slowly, "Okay, now that everyone has left, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Come here."

Zhou Si and Austin did not resist, but just exchanged an imperceptible glance.

Zhou Si asked, "What do you want to do next?"

Professor Yuri said without hesitation, "Ask the police to release the helicopter. Also, you two must be under our control. Don't try any tricks."

The two of them didn't seem surprised by his request and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

Professor Yuri saw this and waved his hand.

Two men stepped forward quickly and tied Zhou Si and Austin's hands with swift movements.

Zhou Si and Austin were very cooperative throughout the process.

The police below are basically aware of the situation here.

After receiving the order, the helicopter was immediately released.

Professor Yuri saw the hovering helicopter, and a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in his eyes, and he could hardly suppress his excitement.

His face was filled with ecstasy of surviving the disaster.

Just a few minutes ago, he thought he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected turns of events and I actually got the chance to escape from this desperate situation!

It’s great that he can still go back and do his beloved research.

He was excited and nervous.

In a blink of an eye, the helicopter roared and circled above everyone's heads. The huge rotors rolled up strong air currents, making it almost impossible for people to stand steadily.

It slowly lowered its altitude and finally came to a steady stop.

As soon as the hatch opened, Professor Yuri couldn't wait to leave.

He immediately gave his men a stern order to take the two hostages onto the plane while he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Zhou Si and Austin had no objections, so they obediently took a step and walked slowly towards the open door of the helicopter.

Just as they approached the hatch, and the light from inside the cabin outlined the outline of a figure, a thunderous shout suddenly exploded, "Get down..."

Zhou Si and Austin reacted extremely quickly. The moment they heard the order, they lowered their bodies as if by reflex.

"boom!"

At the same time, a deafening gunshot tore through the air!

A deadly bullet, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, flew towards Professor Yuri behind with astonishing accuracy.

With a dull "puff" sound, the bullet penetrated his shoulder fiercely, and blood splattered immediately.

Professor Yuri screamed, and the remote control in his hand suddenly slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

The other men at the scene were startled, but their reactions were not slow, their well-trained nerves immediately tensed.

Some people quickly drew their guns and fought back, with bullets whizzing out.

The other part quickly pounced on the remote control on the ground, trying to regain control.

But Zhou Si was much faster than them.

He sprinted like a cheetah, rushed to the remote control in the first possible moment, and knocked the other person away.

At the same time, the gunmen on the helicopter fired several shots in a row, turning the men around Professor Yuri into sieves.

In the aftermath of the gunfire, several agile figures filed out of the helicopter hatch, landed lightly on the ground, and successfully grabbed the remote control under Zhou Si's cover.

Professor Yuri didn't know until this moment.

It turned out that I was fooled again.

This helicopter was replaced by the enemy without anyone noticing at some point.
