Xie's lips were almost touching Jiang Yuan's ears, and there seemed to be a chill in his voice, which made Jiang Yuan shudder.

"I want your life..."

Not all the lights in the suite were turned on, and only the wall lamp at the door was on. The light was dim, which added a lot of horror to the atmosphere.

Jiang Yuan drank quite a bit of wine again, and was not able to stay sober and calm as usual. He was a little panicked at this moment.

She also never expected that Mr. Xie was so powerful that he could find this place despite her brother's extensive search and pursuit.

This man is a desperate criminal and he is probably capable of doing anything.

The first thing she had to do was to save her own life.

Jiang Yuan took deep breaths and tried hard to calm himself down. When he spoke again, his voice was still trembling, but it was much more organized.

"Mr. Xie, if you kill me, it will at most be a way to vent your anger, but people outside are hunting you down, and you can't escape. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?"

"But...if you let me go, I can promise you that I will give you a large sum of money and a new identity, so that you can live a carefree life abroad, just like before."

"Ah."

Xie suddenly sneered and interrupted Jiang Yuan, "Do you think I will still believe you? You said the same thing before, but what happened? After so many years, you still sent people to silence me? If I wasn't lucky, I would have been killed by you long ago."

The dagger in Xie's hand got closer to Jiang Yuan's neck, "Before I die, I will take you away!"

"no, I can not."

Jiang Yuan stopped him in a panic, "It's different now than before. I have no reason to kill you. Believe me, really, believe me!"

"Oh?"

Xie stopped moving, "Why is it different? I heard that Shang Manyue is dead. It must be you who did it. Then I must be the next one."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to take such a big risk and sneak in here. I'm going to strike first before you do anything!"

Jiang Yuan swallowed hard, "It's because Shang Manyue is already dead. As long as you don't come out to accuse me, why should I bother you, right?"

She persuaded him earnestly: "If you die, there will definitely be a new round of investigation. If they accidentally find out that it's me, I'll be in trouble, right? I'm not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. If I can solve the problem with money, I'd rather spend it. You know I won't treat you badly in terms of money."

Xie: “That’s true.”

Jiang Yuan heard the relaxation in Xie's tone, and her anxious heart eased a little. She tried, "Then... can you let me go first, and we can talk about the terms?"

"You hold the knife like this, I... I'm scared."

She bit her lower lip lightly and her voice softened, clearly showing weakness.

Men are generally very confident and think they are strong. They will not take a young woman seriously. As long as you act soft and submissive, they will let down their guard.

Of course, she would not really give money to Mr. Xie. It was just a delaying tactic at the moment. She had an alarm button in her bag, which was a gift from her brother.

If Mr. Xie is not removed, she will not be able to sleep comfortably. This time bomb must be removed.

For now, we just need to keep him calm. Once his brother's men arrive, he will be dead.

Jiang Yuan thought happily, and waited for Xie to let her go, but unexpectedly, the next moment, Xie sneered again, and the dagger slid directly across her neck, leaving a bloody mark.

Jiang Yuan cried out in pain, "What...what are you doing? Don't be impulsive!"

Xie grabbed Jiang Yuan's hair without any mercy. Jiang Yuan's scalp was numb with pain and he screamed in pain.

Xie said coldly: "Don't play any tricks on me. You are cruel and ruthless. You can even poison Shang Manyue, my sister of many years. How can I trust you?"

Jiang Yuan was in so much pain that tears came out. She didn't expect that Xie was so vigilant. She underestimated him...

She endured the pain and said, "What do you want me to do in exchange for your trust?"

"It's very simple."

Mr. Xie grabbed Jiang Yuan's hair and dragged her directly to the chair. He took out the thick rope he had prepared and tied her up neatly into a knot.

Then Xie placed his cell phone in front of Jiang Yuan and pointed the camera at her.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "What do you want to do?"

Mr. Xie said succinctly, "I must have evidence against you to ensure that you will not go back on your word. Tell me clearly how you killed Shang Manyue, and I will let you go."

"Don't worry, once I get the money and leave here safely, I will destroy this video, and we won't owe each other anything from now on."

Jiang Yuan pursed his lips tightly, obviously unwilling.

As for the Shang Manyue incident, she handled it perfectly and she could have stayed out of it. How could she be willing to give away such a big handle?

If people knew that Shang Manyue was the one who did this, she would be really finished.

Brother Jingbo will not let her go, and neither will Brian.

Her brother couldn't protect her either.

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the money right now. I will transfer the money to you immediately no matter how much you want. Can you see my sincerity?"

Mr. Xie laughed and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy the money even if I take it."

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not... then go to hell with me!"

"It is worth my life to have a beauty like you accompany me on my journey to the underworld."

As he spoke, Xie picked up the dagger and walked straight towards Jiang Yuan. The dagger in front of her eyes was emitting a creepy cold light.

No one can remain indifferent in the face of death.

Jiang Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat. She closed her eyes and shouted, "Speak, speak, speak!"

Jiang Yuan moved her lips and spoke tremblingly, explaining the whole story word by word clearly, but her speech was very slow.

As she spoke, she kept looking around and caught a glimpse of an open window near the bar.

This is the top floor. If... this phone falls from here, it will be shattered into pieces.

The same goes for people.

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Xie with tears in his eyes, "I have done what you asked, can you let me go? Anyway... you have evidence of my crime, you can rest assured."

Xie was very happy and said, "Okay."

Xie put away his cell phone and walked over to untie Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan seemed to be weak all over. He collapsed on the sofa, gasping for breath, as if he was scared after surviving a disaster.

"Mr. Xie, can you get me a cup of hot water? I have no strength left."

"it is good."

Xie did not suspect anything and walked towards the bar while checking the video on his mobile phone.

As he passed the windowsill, Jiang Yuan suddenly jumped up, rushed over, and pushed him out with force.
