Chapter 422: Negotiation Requires Sincerity

The surrounding was extremely quiet, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Some of the guests who still had a sliver of consciousness were clutching themselves with their hands, their entire bodies trembling.

The people present today were either rich or they were nobles. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing at the birthday banquet of the Jiang family’s senior master?

Didn’t they say that security inspections were first-class?!

What were the special police doing outside?!

A few timid female guests had already started to cry softly, afraid that they would be killed by the fiend’s gun.

The black-clothed man with an ordinary appearance held a gun and threatened Jiang Zhiyuan while he swept his gaze around the surroundings like a tiger eyeing its prey.

At this moment, although Jiang Zhiyuan was being controlled by someone, his expression was still extremely calm. He swept his gaze across the people around him and realized that he couldn’t see Jiang Xuecheng’s figure. His heart became more at ease.

The most important thing now was to stall for time.

Jiang Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. A trace of elite light flashed across his aged eyes,

“This is not how business is done. I can double the amount of money that the person who bought you gave you.”

The man dressed in black sneered twice. “You don’t have to waste your effort to stall for time. Who said that I’m here for money?”

Not for money?

Jiang Zhiyuan’s eyes darkened when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and started to make thousands of guesses.

“There is no problem in this world that money can’t solve. Name your price. Why do you have to make things so difficult?”

The ordinary-looking man in black snorted arrogantly.

“Chief Jiang, I have to take you away today. Since you want to do it the hard way, don’t blame me for not holding back!”

When Jiang Zhiyuan heard the other party’s words, he felt relieved.

He could tell that this man didn’t seem to want to kill him at the moment. He just wanted to take him away.

Since the other party said so, it proved that he was still useful!

Jiang Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. In order to confuse the enemy, there was a hint of nervousness on his face.

“Alright, I’ll go with you. Lower your gun first.”

Jiang Zhiyuan slowly raised both his hands, indicating that he was taking the initiative to cooperate.

“Heh, does Chief Jiang take me for a fool?”

The black-clothed man swept a glance at Jiang Zhiyuan. Before he could finish his words, the man aimed at Jiang Zhiyuan’s shoulder and neck, slashing down with his hand!

Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t even have the time to make a sound before he directly fell to the ground.

The moment Jiang Zhiyuan reached the ground, Jiang Xuecheng’s vision instantly became clear.

He had been standing quietly at a hidden corner. After adjusting his vision, he immediately pulled the trigger.

It happened in an instant!

A bullet silently slid out and hit the black-clothed man’s glabella.

This polar Silver Fox was equipped with a silencer. The moment the bullet was fired, there was only a slight sound.

The black-clothed man’s eyes widened instantly. In less than a second, he fell to the ground.

The wound between his brows was overflowing with fresh blood. It was like a vibrant and alluring red spider lily. Under the crystal chandelier, it emitted a terrifying brilliance.

When the surrounding guests saw the black-clothed man fall, they were so happy that they cried and laughed.

Was it finally over?!

However, before they could be happy, they suddenly heard a somewhat hoarse female voice from behind them.

“Young master, put your gun down. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t accidentally take your wife’s life.”

Hearing this, everyone felt suffocated. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in a waitress’ uniform standing not far away.

Su Wan was tightly grabbed by the shoulder. A genuine gun was pressed against her throat.

This scene looked a little frightening.

This was the first time Su Wan was facing a life and death situation like this. She didn’t only feel scared, she also shocked.

Who would have thought that the waitress next to her, who had a gentle smile and a slim figure, was a disguised professional?!

The black muzzle of the gun was mercilessly pointed at her. Su Wan even felt the hair on her neck tremble.

Although it was summer, Su Wan felt that her hands and feet were icy-cold.

Su Wan pursed her lips and tried her best to remain silent. She did not want to affect Jiang Xuecheng’s performance with his gun.

Jiang Xuecheng stood two meters away. His handsome face was extremely cold at this moment. His eyes were so cold that it seemed like a blizzard was brewing.

“Let her go.”

He said it almost word by word with conspicuous anger.

The waitress immediately sneered when she heard that.

“Let go of the hostage in my hand? Will I still get to live?”

“I heard that young master dotes on his wife very much. I wonder if he likes Miss Su’s beautiful face. If I add a mark to this face, would you still like it?”

The waitress raised the gun and circled it around Su Wan’s beautiful face.

When Su Wan saw the smile on the waitress’ face, she felt a chill run down her spine. Only when she tried her best to remain calm did she manage to control her trembling hands.

“What do you want?”

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the waitress coldly. He tried his best not to look at Su Wan’s face, or else he would really be afraid that he would lose his rationality.

“Negotiation requires sincerity. Young master, put down your gun first. Only then will we have a chance to discuss.”

The female waitress raised her eyebrows. The smile on her face was innocent and repulsive.

“Alright.”

When Jiang Xuecheng agreed, Su Wan’s heart was immediately in her throat. She could only shake her head repeatedly, indicating that Jiang Xuecheng should not give up on using force.

When the female waitress saw that Su Wan was struggling on the brink of death, she immediately frowned.

The female waitress gave Su Wan a slap, the crisp sound of it following after.

The bright red slap landed on Su Wan’s face. Very quickly, a large part of her face swelled up. She looked very pitiful.

“The hostage must look like a hostage. Behave yourself.”

When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan had been slapped, his heart instantly felt a twinge of pain. He would definitely let this waitress taste the consequences of this slap.

When the waitress saw Jiang Xuecheng’s bloodshot eyes, she clicked her tongue and sighed.

“Oh, young master, are you feeling sorry for your wife? Since you’re feeling sorry, why don’t you put down the thing in your hand? It won’t be as simple as a slap later!”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

That was it, he hated people who threatened him the most.

Jiang Xuecheng didn’t say anything, but his expression became more and more calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He stared at the female waitress without blinking, and slowly placed the Polar Silver Fox in his hand under his feet.

The waitress looked down at him with a cold voice.

“What’s with you putting it under your feet? Kick the gun over.”

Jiang Xuecheng shivered. He moved his feet and controlled his strength. The Polar Silver Fox only flew 30 centimeters away.

The waitress naturally knew that Jiang Xuecheng was not cooperating. She frowned and was about to ask Jiang Xuecheng to kick it further.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly pounced on her from behind and grabbed her hand tightly!

The waitress was caught off guard, she was well-trained, after all. She did not turn around and was caught by a backhanded move!

Jiang Xuecheng also reacted quickly. He immediately picked up the gun and aimed at the waitress and pulled the trigger!
