Hearing this, Song Kai Cheng suddenly took a deep breath, slowly released Shen Xi's arm, turned, and looked at Qin Si Ye with cold eyes. "My arm is still injured, do you think I'd be that foolish? To fight you one-on-one?
This is country B, my territory. I get to set the rules of the game."
Just then, a man in black reported, "Mr. Song, two cars have suddenly appeared outside, and a group of people are surrounding this place."
"Oh? It seems Mr. Qin came prepared. No wonder you were so bold earlier."
A rare, sinister smile flickered across Song Kai Cheng's lips. He looked at the man in black and said, "Keep them outside. Do not let a single person in.
A great show is about to begin."
Then, he ordered two men in black behind him, "Take Miss Shen down first."
"Song Kai Cheng, what are you trying to do?" Qin Si Ye took two quick steps towards the stairs.
"The following scene might be very bloody, and it's not suitable for her to be here," Song Kai Cheng snorted lightly, his sharp gaze sweeping around.
As soon as he finished speaking, men in black from all directions converged on Qin Si Ye.
Shen Xi struggled with her arm, "No. Brother Kai Cheng, you can't do this. Qin Si Ye... Qin Si Ye saved your life."
"Wait. What did you say?" Song Kai Cheng raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
Shen Xi stepped forward, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him, "That day in the ancient city of Kayas, the masked man was him. If he hadn't brought people in time, both of us might have..."
"Stop. Don't say another word." Song Kai Cheng suddenly stopped her, his eyes dimming. "So, he is the business magnate Mayor Abel mentioned?
And when you were taken away then, you met with him?"
"Yes." Shen Xi did not deny it.
There was nothing to hide at this point. She just hoped Song Kai Cheng would let Qin Si Ye go, remembering that Qin Si Ye had saved him.
Upon hearing this, Song Kai Cheng looked downstairs. After a three-second gaze with Qin Si Ye, he quickly turned his back to everyone, silent.
After about half a minute, he slowly turned back and looked down into the hall from above.
"Qin Si Ye, if you want to take Xi Xi away from here today, you must do one thing."
Qin Si Ye stood tall, his eyes fixed on Song Kai Cheng, "Fine. Tell me. As long as you let her go, I will agree to any condition."
"Give him a knife," Song Kai Cheng said to one of the men in black below, then looked at Qin Si Ye. "As long as you hold this knife and stab yourself in the thigh, I will let you both leave."
"No. Wait. Brother Kai Cheng, you can't..." However, before Shen Xi could finish speaking, she heard Qin Si Ye "thump" as he knelt to the ground.
Looking down in a panic, she saw a sharp knife plunged directly into Qin Si Ye's right leg.
Qin Si Ye raised his head, his eyebrows slightly raised, looking at Song Kai Cheng as if he felt no pain at all. "Mr. Song, is this acceptable?"
Song Kai Cheng's body trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Qin Si Ye to stab himself without any hesitation.
But seeing his nonchalant expression, he couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "I said both legs, not one."
"Alright." A smile still lingered on Qin Si Ye's face. He forcefully pulled out the knife, and blood immediately gushed out, quickly soaking his trousers.
Yet, he endured the pain without a sound.
Shen Xi was truly stunned by what she saw. Large tears rolled down her cheeks, her lips trembled, unable to cry or speak a single word.
It wasn't until Qin Si Ye raised the knife again, preparing to stab his left leg, that Shen Xi suddenly cried out hysterically, "No! Qin Si Ye, wait."
Seeing Qin Si Ye slowly lower the knife and look at her with gentle eyes, Shen Xi turned to look at Song Kai Cheng.
"Brother Kai Cheng, there is something I want to say to you alone."
Song Kai Cheng met her stubborn, pained gaze, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. His lips moved, and he uttered one word: "Okay."
The two men in black holding Shen Xi immediately released her.
Gently wiping away the tears on her face, Shen Xi walked slowly to Song Kai Cheng's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Song Kai Cheng's eyes widened, and he looked at her in disbelief. He slowly straightened his body, and after a pause of more than ten seconds, he said with a slightly trembling voice to those below, "Qin Si Ye, you win."
