BXBX NOVEL Chapter 479 - Selfishness
Chapter 479: Selfishness
In those eyes, he didn’t see the slightest hints of fear or terror.
As a little girl, she could be so brave and fearless. But he, a grown man, was hiding in the car and waiting for others to protect him. For a moment, he felt extremely ashamed in comparison to the resilient little girl outside the car window.
Not wanting to hide anymore, he raised his hand to open the door, but Li Sinuo yanked him back when he touched the handle.
“Chairman Han, don’t open that door. You’ll be dead meat if you get out. Their target is you, not Yun Xi. They won’t hurt her anyway. Just let her be the bait to prolong the delay. As soon as Young Marshal Mu arrives, we’ll be saved.”
Han Yaotian glanced at Yun Xi outside the car, then shook off Li Sinuo’s hand. Her selfishness and Yun Xi’s bravery instantly formed a sharp contrast in his mind.
“No! I can’t abandon Miss Yun.”
If he really hid in the car at this time, Yun Xi would probably despise him for life.
There would be no chance of anything between him and her ever again in the future, and he shouldn’t expect to have any excuse to approach her.
If he still wanted to use her to get close to Young Marshal Mu and form close relationships with the Jiang family and the Chen family in the future, that would be a daydream.
As long as he stalled for time until Young Marshal Mu arrived, there was still a chance.
Before Li Sinuo could say anything more, he opened the door and got out of the car.
In response to Han Yaotian’s pretentiously feigned heroism at this moment, Yun Xi felt that she really had to reexamine Han Yaotian’s forbearance threshold.
Had it not been for his self-interest in keeping her as a friend, Han Yaotian would never have cared about her life or death.
When Han Yaotian got out of the car, Lin Sen stretched out his hand quickly as he continued to clasp Yun Xi’s neck tightly, still aiming his knife at her neck.
“Chairman Han, you are very well aware of our intentions. Hand over the list and the batch of goods.”
“The list and the goods aren’t in my hands anymore. What are you asking me to hand in?”
“Who else’s hands could they be in besides yours? It won’t be that easy for your Han family to burn bridges after crossing the river.”
“The list is now in Young Marshal Mu’s hands. If you want the list, you have to find Young Marshal Mu. There’s no use in asking me.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Call Young Marshal Mu and ask him to send the list, otherwise you will all die.”
“Yun Xi...” Han Yaotian hesitated and looked at Yun Xi.
He didn’t have Young Marshal Mu’s contact information, and, even if he did, Young Marshal Mu might not answer him.
“I have sent a message to Young Marshal Mu. He...he will be here soon...”
Yun Xi shrugged, moving Lin Sen’s arm that was holding the knife a bit, and then she seized the opportunity to make a few gestures in the dim night.
Lin Sen thought she had summoned her rescuers over. His eyes grew cold, and the knife against her neck pushed in closer. He opened his mouth to threaten her, “Call again, and tell him that he can only come here alone. If I see him with anyone else, you both will die.”
“Okay, I’ll call.” Yun Xi pretended to tremble as she took out her phone from her pocket and called Mu Feichi.
In the forest not that far away, Li Zilan was looking at the figure being held by Lin Sen on the highway through binoculars. She commanded Feng Rui, “There are six targets. The three on the left will be for you to deal with, and three on the right will be for me to deal with.”
As far as close combat was concerned, taking care of these people would be no problem.
Feng Rui turned his head and glanced at her. “What about Lin Sen? Didn’t you see that he has our Young Marshal Mu’s darling as a hostage?”
If that girl got injured, even the slightest bit, there was no way Young Marshal Mu wouldn’t be enraged.
