301: Chapter 296 Hostage Exchange 301: Chapter 296 Hostage Exchange In the forest of Luo Xia Mountain, Ye Tian brought Wang Qingshan with him.
If Wang Qingshan were still by Ye Tian’s side, Wang Yuetao would definitely concoct a scheme.
It was precisely for this reason that Ye Tian had arrived early at the arranged location.
In the forest, the sound of cars broke the silence.
As the sun set, Wang Yuetao drove in slowly.
Three cars approached; Ye Tian lifted his head, firmly grasping Wang Qingshan’s shoulders.
To prevent any tricks, Ye Tian had tied up Wang Qingshan’s hands and feet on the spot.
“It’s my father.” Wang Qingshan took a step forward, smiling upon seeing the three cars arriving.
At that moment, Ye Tian took a deep breath and turned to look at Wang Qingshan beside him.
“Behave yourself,” Ye Tian said.
The cars stopped, and Wang Yuetao got out with several bodyguards by his side.
“Bringing so many people, Wang Yuetao, what exactly do you want?” Ye Tian narrowed his eyes.
This time, Ye Tian had come alone; in comparison, Wang Yuetao emerged from the three cars with his entourage, appearing extremely cautious.
“I feared you’d cooperate with the police.
I must have my son this time!” Wang Yuetao stated bluntly.
Ye Tian grabbed Wang Qingshan’s shoulder and said, “If you want your son’s life, hand over Yun Xinyan.”
Wang Yuetao, with a cigar clamped between his lips, narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
“Father, save me.” Wang Qingshan, his face bruised, said pathetically.
Wang Yuetao narrowed his eyes and said, “Ye Tian, you dare lay a hand on my son?”
As Wang Yuetao spoke, Ye Tian laughed and said, “Hitting your son?
It seems you’re the ones playing tricks.”
Wang Yuetao wanted to rage but was rooted to the spot.
“You!” Wang Yuetao snorted coldly.
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes and said, “Where is Yun Xinyan?”
Although Wang Yuetao and his people got out of the cars, Ye Tian had yet to see Yun Xinyan and the zombie.
“She’ll be here shortly.” To ensure that Yun Xinyan wouldn’t be rescued, Wang Yuetao had never kept her at his side but left her in the zombie’s care.
In the forest, a chill wind stirred.
As the zombie and Yun Xinyan approached, Wang Qingshan grew excited.
“Here she is, your fiancée has arrived; you should let me go now, right?” Wang Qingshan said eagerly.
Ye Tian took a deep breath, standing his ground while holding fast to Wang Qingshan.
“Keep it together.
I will let you go sooner or later; don’t cause me any trouble.” Ye Tian certainly did not want any complications to occur; should Wang Qingshan attempt any tricks at this point, he would make sure Wang Qingshan regretted it.
For this reason, Wang Qingshan’s brows knitted tightly.
Yun Xinyan was brought before Wang Yuetao, and the zombie lowered his head.
“The task you gave me is done,” the zombie said to Wang Yuetao.
Wang Yuetao exhaled a smoke ring and said, “Good job.”
The zombie, truly an epic assassin of the Wang Family, faced Ye Tian without a trace of fear.
It was Wang Qingshan, trembling constantly, who appeared afraid, eliciting a pained expression from Yun Xinyan.
“Ye Tian, why must you do this?” Yun Xinyan, having heard from the zombie, knew that Ye Tian had saved Wang Qingshan from police custody to rescue her.
Now a fugitive wanted by the police, Ye Tian couldn’t help but move Yun Xinyan’s heart under these circumstances.
And so it was that with the arrival of Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ye Tian, release my son, or your woman will die without a place to be buried,” said Wang Yuetao, utterly composed.
With the zombie by his side, Wang Yuetao was not afraid of any tricks from Ye Tian.
Ye Tian drew a dagger and held it up to Wang Qingshan’s throat.
“Release Yun Xinyan, unless you want to watch your son die before your eyes,” Ye Tian said firmly.
Wang Yuetao took a step forward and said, “We’ll exchange hostages at the same time.”
Ye Tian shook his head, surveying Wang Yuetao’s subordinates.
With even the zombie standing still, Ye Tian was not about to let go first.
“With so many of you, if we release the hostages at the same time, you’ll play tricks.
Let Yun Xinyan go first,” Ye Tian pressed the dagger tighter against Wang Qingshan’s throat, threatening Wang Yuetao.
“No, Father, save me!” Wang Qingshan leaned back, fearing the dagger in Ye Tian’s hand might hurt him.
Wang Yuetao furrowed his brows and turned to look at the zombie beside him.
“If we release Yun Xinyan first, are you confident you can control the situation?” Wang Yuetao hesitated.
The zombie, thrusting out his chest, said, “Rest assured, with me here, Ye Tian won’t dare any tricks.”
The zombie was certain that even if they released Yun Xinyan first, Ye Tian wouldn’t be able to pull any tricks.
“Release Yun Xinyan,” Wang Yuetao narrowed his eyes.
As Yun Xinyan began moving toward Ye Tian, Wang Yuetao and his people watched like hawks.
“Ye Tian!” Yun Xinyan quickened her pace toward Ye Tian.
Ye Tian took a deep breath, constantly scanning Wang Yuetao’s men surrounding him.
Now Ye Tian was alone, surrounded by Wang Yuetao’s subordinates, a moment’s inattention would give Wang Yuetao and the others the chance they needed.
“Ye Tian, your woman has already been released,” Wang Qingshan said, looking down at the dagger in front of his neck.
Because Ye Tian had taken Wang Qingshan hostage, Wang Yuetao dared to make his move.
When Yun Xinyan ran to Ye Tian’s side, he didn’t hesitate to cut the rope on her hands with a dagger.
Yun Xinyan, with tears in her eyes, threw her arms around Ye Tian’s neck recklessly.
“Ye Tian,” Yun Xinyan had always firmly believed Ye Tian would come to rescue her.
She just hadn’t expected him to storm into the police station.
And because of this, Ye Tian frowned slightly, gently placing his hand on her back.
“It’s all right now,” Ye Tian said in a soothing voice.
During the embrace between Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan, Wang Qingshan by their side saw an opportunity and attempted to sneak away, but before he could take more than a few steps,
Ye Tian grabbed hold of Wang Qingshan and said, “You think you’re leaving?”
Facing Wang Qingshan’s attempt to leave, Ye Tian did not relax his guard.
Wang Qingshan’s face changed color, as he turned to look at Ye Tian in front of him.
“You want to go back on your word?” Wang Qingshan said impatiently.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Tian’s mouth as he said bluntly, “If we let you go now, could we still leave this place safely?”
Judging by the bodyguards who had come out from Wang Yuetao’s side, they all appeared to be skilful, and with the zombies present, Ye Tian had never thought that Wang Yuetao would let him and Yun Xinyan go at this point.
“Ye Tian, are you thinking of reneging?” bellowed Wang Yuetao angrily.
Ye Tian wrapped one arm around Yun Xinyan’s waist and held Wang Qingshan hostage with the other hand.
“I just want to leave this place safely.
Without your son in my hands, how could Yun Xinyan and I leave safely?” Ye Tian said with disdain.
In Ye Tian’s view, the Wang Qingshan in his hands was the best talisman; otherwise, upon seeing Wang Qingshan released, Wang Yuetao would surely start hunting down Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, intent on taking Yun Xinyan with him, was faced with zombies and had no chance of winning.
“Despicable,” roared Wang Yuetao.
“Surround them for me.”
Following Wang Yuetao’s cry, his men quickly encircled Ye Tian and his group.
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, scanning the surroundings.
“Ye Tian, let me go, or you both will have no place to be buried,” Wang Qingshan struggled as he spoke.
With a dagger at Wang Qingshan’s neck, Ye Tian said, “Shut up or I won’t be polite anymore if you keep talking.”
With these words from Ye Tian, Wang Qingshan looked helplessly resigned.
“Stay close to me,” Ye Tian turned to look at Yun Xinyan beside him.
By this time, Wang Yuetao and the others had completely surrounded Ye Tian, and he and Yun Xinyan were trapped with no way out.
“Ye Tian, if you release my son, I’ll let you go.
But if you harm a single hair on his head, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead,” Wang Yuetao threatened with squinted eyes.
Ye Tian snorted coldly, looking at Wang Yuetao beside him.
The zombies’ gaze stayed locked on Ye Tian.
As he kept retreating, Wang Yuetao and the others didn’t dare move because of Wang Qingshan’s presence.
“Let me go,” Wang Qingshan shouted repeatedly.
Ye Tian glanced at a car not far behind him and said to Wang Yuetao, “As long as Yun Xinyan and I can leave here safely, your son’s life will be spared.
Otherwise, make no mistake, I will not hesitate to strike, and you will witness your son dying before you.”
As Ye Tian spoke, Wang Yuetao’s eyebrows twitched, looking toward the zombies beside him.
“Zombie, save my son,” Wang Yuetao ordered without hesitation.
The zombie slowly advanced toward Ye Tian; though Ye Tian held Wang Qingshan as a hostage, the zombie appeared unafraid.
“Ye Tian,” Yun Xinyan stayed by his side, constantly watching their surroundings.
Eventually, Ye Tian reached the car and looked at Yun Xinyan beside him.
“Get in the car,” Ye Tian said, watching the crowd around them.
Yun Xinyan immediately moved toward the car, while the zombie was blocked by Ye Tian.
Wang Qingshan leaned against Ye Tian, furious.
“Ye Tian, how despicable of you, using this tactic to try and escape,” the zombie narrowed his eyes, as even the zombie himself found it difficult to find an opportunity to save Wang Qingshan from Ye Tian’s grip.
Ye Tian snorted coldly.
Faced with the zombie’s words, he replied unabashedly, “Enough talk.
As long as we can leave safely, Wang Qingshan will live.”
Ye Tian spoke with certainty, and the zombie stood frozen.
The car engine roared to life, with Yun Xinyan turning her head to Ye Tian, “Ye Tian, hurry up, get in.”
The car door opened wide, and with Wang Yuetao and his men right in front of Ye Tian, unable to move, they watched as Ye Tian was about to get into the car.
It was for this reason that, with a swift move, Ye Tian kicked Wang Qingshan, who had been in front of him, to the ground.
The zombie’s eyes lit up, seizing the moment as Ye Tian turned to leave, darting forward.
“Trying to run?” the zombie bellowed.
