Qin Si Ye's face was stern as he strode in, his long legs carrying him forward. Upon seeing Yin Xi held captive by two men, he let out a startled cry, "Xi Xi."
He's here! He really came!
"Si Ye," Yin Xi struggled against his grip, turning her head to look at him with tear-filled eyes.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Qin Si Ye asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"No. You don't need to worry about me, but Jin Jing Chen... Jin Jing Chen is severely injured," Yin Xi replied.
Jin Zhan Hao listened to their conversation, feeling deeply displeased. Just as he was about to turn away, he heard Jin Jing Chen call out, "Mr. Qin."
Mr. Qin, Si Ye, when combined, that meant Qin Si Ye!
Could it really be such a coincidence? Yin Xi's mysterious boyfriend was actually K City's wealthiest magnate, Qin Si Ye.
No wonder he could alarm Director Liu and personally escort Yin Xi out of the police station.
Realizing this, Jin Zhan Hao's body froze, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into at that very moment.
"Jin Zhan Hao, I know it's you. Didn't you demand I arrive within twenty minutes? I'm here now, why don't you dare face me?"
Qin Si Ye's voice was calm and composed, his powerful aura causing Jin Zhan Hao to shiver.
At this moment, he felt caught in a dilemma, unsure how to present himself to Qin Si Ye.
He regretted his actions to the point of his intestines turning green. That day, after Yin Xi was released from the police station, he should have sent people to inquire about the man's identity.
If he had known it was Qin Si Ye, he would never have dared to do something so audacious as to kidnap his woman.
It's over. It seemed he was truly finished today.
This man was always decisive and ruthless. No one in the business world was not wary of him.
Even government departments gave him significant face, sometimes even acting according to his mood.
Even if he released Yin Xi now and begged for mercy on his knees, Qin Si Ye probably wouldn't spare him.
"Jin Zhan Hao, I and your Jin family have always kept to our own lanes. As long as you release Yin Xi now, I can let this day's events pass."
Qin Si Ye's voice suddenly came from behind him.
However, Jin Zhan Hao did not believe his words at all.
He abruptly turned around, pulling Yin Xi from the grasp of two black-clad men and bringing her to his front, gripping her shoulders.
With his other hand, he pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Yin Xi's neck.
"Mr. Qin, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? That I would easily believe your words."
Qin Si Ye had not expected him to resort to such desperate measures.
He frantically held up his hands, signaling for him to calm down, "Jin Zhan Hao, don't get too agitated. Tell me, whatever you want, I can satisfy you."
Jin Zhan Hao's cunning eyes darted back and forth. Knowing he would no longer have a foothold in K City, he pondered for a moment and then said:
"I want a helicopter. Within twenty minutes, no, within fifteen minutes, it must be parked on the rooftop."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye knew that Jin Zhan Hao was afraid and wanted to escape.
With Yin Xi currently in his control, Qin Si Ye had no choice but to comply with his demands for now.
He could only hope that Zhao Ze could arrive within fifteen minutes.
"Alright. I'll contact them now." Qin Si Ye immediately took out his phone and made a call.
Seeing Qin Si Ye cooperating, Jin Zhan Hao's tense nerves relaxed a bit.
This Qin Si Ye was nothing special, not as terrifying as the rumors made him out to be.
"Are you sure the helicopter can arrive in fifteen minutes?" he couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course. It's my private helicopter." Qin Si Ye exchanged a pained glance with Yin Xi, wishing he could rush forward and rescue her.
But Yin Xi shook her head, refusing.
She was completely in Jin Jing Chen's control, and two black-clad bodyguards were blocking them.
In other parts of the room, along with the main entrance, there were likely no less than 10 bodyguards.
Qin Si Ye, acting alone, would be the worst possible move at this moment.
Not only would he fail to save her, but he might also get injured.
With Qin Si Ye's intelligence, she believed he wouldn't be foolish enough to come alone to rescue her; he must have a backup plan.
From his composure upon entering to his frequent glances at his phone, Yin Xi had already guessed that he was stalling for time, waiting for more personnel to arrive.
For a moment, the building was silent, not a single sound was uttered.
Yet, the "tick-tock" of the clock seemed to pass slowly, second by second, in everyone's minds.
Each person was lost in their own thoughts, but they shared a similar feeling: why did time feel like it was passing so slowly?
