Suizi thought that Yu Shuilian was about to reveal the whereabouts of the person she had kidnapped, so she quickly stopped Yu Jingting, signaling for Yu Shuilian to speak.
"If I tell you this secret, will you let me go?" Yu Shuilian proposed a condition.
"Yu Jingting and I can let you go," Suizi added internally, but the police will definitely not let you off.
"Swear it!" Yu Shuilian, desperate to survive, cried out with a twisted, fierce expression.
"You're giving me lip?" Yu Jingting roughly grabbed her collar. "You can't expect a dog to spit out ivory. I'll just beat her first."
"Wait, Jingting, let her speak," warned Suizi, halting Yu Jingting. Turning to Yu Shuilian, Suizi offered a 'kind' smile. "My man has a temper. You have no right to negotiate with us."
Yu Jingting played along, brandishing the iron rod towards the alley wall. The faded red bricks cracked under the force of his blow, a sight which made Yu Shuilian feel like her own bones were being broken.
