Wu Qiuping suddenly lunged toward Lin Jia like an arrow released from a bowstring. With one hand, she fiercely grabbed Lin Jia by the back of the neck, while with the other, she swiftly drew a delicate, small fruit knife, pressing it without a moment's hesitation against Lin Jia's throat. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Nobody move!" In that cramped space, besides the two of them, Huang Zhengyong and Yao Zijin were also present. Inwardly, Huang Zhengyong blamed Lin Jia for being so careless as to end up taken hostage, which made the situation extremely tricky.
At the same time, Yao Zijin decisively pressed a button and sternly shouted, "Let her go immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll give you a chance to survive!" Faced with Yao Zijin's threat, Wu Qiuping let out a cold laugh and retorted, "If I let her go, do you really think I'll be allowed to live?" No sooner had the words left her mouth than a group of robotic guards rushed in, sealing off the area completely.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, Lin Jia appeared unusually calm. She asked indifferently, "Who are you? Can you at least let me die knowing the truth?" Wu Qiuping answered viciously, "You'll find out naturally after you die!" Upon hearing this, Lin Jia couldn't help praising, "Your vigilance is truly impressive."
