Chapter 516: I Love You, Me Too

Xiang Wan’s reply was so straightforward that the fake Xuan Yue was surprised.

After a second of silence, her ironic giggles could be heard, like a poisonous snake that crawled to the neck. “You’re not afraid?”

“I’m afraid.” Xiang Wan had broken out in cold sweat, her back was full of perspiration. The fake Xuan Yue’s giggles unnerved her.

“If you’re afraid, then why do you still come?”

“For love.”

“What? Hahaha…”

The fake Xuan Yue bellowed in laughter, with clear sarcasm.

“I can’t tell that you actually have the spirit of great love!”

“It’s not great love, but just love.” Xiang Wan smiled calmly. “Xuan Yue, have you loved before?”

Xuan Yue was silent for a few seconds. “Cut it out! Come in and exchange for the hostages immediately! My patience is limited. If I don’t see you coming out in a minute, I might just call off this whole deal…”

“Sure.”

One minute.

There was no time to think more about this.

Several police officers walked over.

There were complicated emotions floating in their eyes.

No advice was of no use at that time.

Since the decision had been made, she would hesitate no longer. Most important of all, she told herself not to think about the possible consequences!

Xiang Wan tied a ponytail and when she was done, she looked towards Bai Muchuan. “I’m going in now!”

“Xiang Wan!” Bai Muchuan held her hand.

His palm was clammy from perspiration.

He held her hand tightly and seemed even more nervous than Xiang Wan.

“I’ll be alright.” Xiang Wan pulled her hand from his palm and looked at him seriously, nodding her head. “I believe you all!”

Bai Muchuan took a look at the direction of the cafe. His gaze was full of worry.

“Be alert!”

“Got it!”

In fact, most people were unable to say much before a critical situation.

Vows of eternal love and sweet words were not suitable in this kind of environment.

At this moment, one must be careful, stay alert and alive.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Xiang Wan looked at him deeply and revealed a pleasant smile.

“I love you,” she whispered in his ear.

Bai Muchuan clenched his fist. “Me too.”

Xiang Wan heard it and smiled at him. “I know!”

Because she knew that he loved her, she was willing to take this gamble.

For women, only love could make them become courageous…

Xiang Wan turned away and walked towards the cafe without any hesitation.

At this moment, all attention was on her. Many people who didn’t know what was going on even thought that she was a female police officer who had undergone some special training… They had no idea that she was an ordinary woman like them.

Bai Muchuan soon regained his composure.

“Laowu! I command you to make sure Xiang Wan is safe!”

“Got it!” Quan Shaoteng responded seriously and was actually calmer than any other time. “If I can’t do it, I’ll give you my life!”

“I don’t want your life!” Bai Muchuan said calmly, “I want her and all my men to be safe.”

“…”

“Concentrate! There’s only one chance.”

“Got it!”

…

Although Xiang Wan seemed like she was walking leisurely, her legs actually felt weak.

It was the first time in her life that she had done such a thing.

Every step that she took was not so easy.

But she persisted on, making her way to the cafe, to where the gun of the fake Xuan Yue could reach… Even though there were thoughts of running away just like that on and off, she still continued on walking. The innate ability within her to avoid putting herself at risk was finally won over by her feelings.

She did not feel that she was great by making this sacrifice.

Most of the time, she felt that she was rather selfish.

But six for one was actually a good deal.

What the fake Xuan Yue had said convinced her.

In addition, Quan Shaoteng always liked to talk about his “super” achievements when he was with Red Thorn. Although she didn’t have a chance to see that personally, she believed that he, being the head of the best platoon in Red Thorn, his title certainly did not come from thin air…

She believed in him.

As well as in Bai Muchuan.

She believed in all of them.

She believed that they would ensure her safety.

These were the thoughts that supported her to make the decision.

It was a decision made after weighing the options.

The fake Xuan Yue saw her.

Outside the glass door of the cafe, Xiang Wan was wearing a camel-colored long coat, with a light grey-colored muffler around her neck. Her long hair was tied up high in a ponytail where it swayed along gently with the snowy winds. Her outfit combination was classy and artistic and gave off a cinematic feeling.

The corners of her lips quirked up in interest. The hand that was holding the gun slid down the little girl’s spine. “Quick… tell the sister outside to walk faster. I hate it when people do things slowly before me.”

The tears on the little girl’s face had not dried up.

Her little ashen face and pale lips frowned in fear and shouted with a sobbing tone.

“Big sister, please walk faster, come faster to save me. I’m scared! I’m really scared!”

The little girl cried really loudly as she shouted at the top of her voice.

The fake Xuan Yue was looking at the screen of the surveillance camera and seemed to be very satisfied with the effect.

When Xiang Wan heard the little girl’s terrified shouts, her steps halted for a moment before walking faster.

“You’ve done well.” The fake Xuan Yue patted the little girl on the back. “Cry, continue to cry all your might… let out all of your fears and worries…”

Earlier on, the little girl dared not cry. Now that she was given the go ahead, her tear ducts were as though the flood gates that had opened…

The little girl was wailing loudly.

Xiang Wan’s eyebrows crumpled up together.

She didn’t like to hear little children crying.

Her maternal instincts in her made her feel suffocated at the cries of the little girl.

To the extent that she was willing to sacrifice herself to protect little children like her.

… The fake Xuan Yue did this deliberately! Xiang Wan realized that fact in a second.

The fake Xuan Yue wanted to let her lose her sense of reason and judgement so she could be easily controlled!

Xiang Wan narrowed her eyes for a moment. In the crying sounds of the little girl, she pushed the heavy glass door of the cafe.

The glass door was so thick!

Could the bullet pass through that?

Although she held that doubt in her heart, she did not show it but instead smiled towards the counter at an appropriate time.

“Xuan Yue, I’m here.”

Although she did not see Xuan Yue, she still greeted her in a friendly manner.

“Very good.” The fake Xuan Yue was very careful not to show her head. She looked at Xiang Wan through the surveillance camera located at the counter. “Take a few steps forward.”

Xiang Wan simply complied with what she demanded.

“Two steps to the left!”

“Take a step back!”

“Two steps to the right!”

Under the instructions of the fake Xuan Yue, Xiang Wan chose to keep quiet. Like a robotic doll, she adhered to the requests without doing anything extra…

“Very good! Stand there and don’t move!”

The fake Xuan Yue let out a disdainful sneer, then looked at the few hostages inside the cafe. “The few of you can scram now! Remember, hands on your head and don’t look back… I’ll shoot those who refuse to listen!”

These people had been crouching and squatting for a long time. Their legs were wobbly, numb and weak.

When they heard Xuan Yue’s words, a few of them felt so relieved that they sat on the ground.

That little deviation enraged the fake Xuan Yue.

She yelled at them, “Those who don’t want to live can stay here and I’ll gift whoever is remaining a bullet each.”

There was a pause.

The five hostages held their hands on their heads, pushed the door open and dashed out of the cafe like birds returning to their nests.

…

There was dead silence in the cafe.

Only the little girl was sobbing and sniffling her nose.

The atmosphere was heavy.
