Minutes later, the sound of a helicopter indeed echoed from the rooftop.
Jin Zhanhao’s heart leaped with joy, a wicked smile gracing his lips. "Mr. Qin, you certainly kept your word. Thank you.
However, Dr. Yin must accompany me on the plane before I release her."
Inwardly, he thought, even on the plane, he wouldn't let her go.
That was Qin Si Ye's private jet, and his people didn't know how to fly it.
Who knew where the pilot would take him?
Only with Yin Xi in his grasp would Qin Si Ye ensure the pilot obeyed him.
After speaking, he grabbed Yin Xi and prepared to move upwards.
Seeing this, the bodyguards also showed signs of relief, turning to leave.
Suddenly, a scuffle erupted outside the door, followed by Zhao Ze’s voice.
"Jin Zhanhao, your mother and sister are now in my hands. I advise you to release Miss Yin immediately, or else, wait to collect their corpses."
Upon hearing this, Jin Zhanhao’s steps faltered in shock.
Then, the cries of two women came from outside.
"Brother, save me quickly, I don't want to die!"
"Zhanhao, stop now. Mother begs you, don't continue down this wrong path."
He slowly turned, his face contorted in rage as he glared at Qin Si Ye. "Mr. Qin, waiting for the plane was a pretense; waiting for them is the real reason, isn't it?
I always thought you, a titan of industry, were a man of integrity. It seems I was wrong. You are so despicable."
"Different people require different treatment. I am merely returning the favor in kind," Qin Si Ye stated, standing straight, his voice chilling.
The mockery and dominance in his words sent a bone-chilling coldness through Jin Zhanhao.
"Qin Si Ye, don't push me. If you force my hand, I will now..."
Before Jin Zhanhao could finish his sentence, Qin Si Ye’s sharp interruption cut him off, "If you dare touch her, I’ll have someone stab your mother and your sister each."
His gaze was sinister, his words fierce and resolute. At this moment, no one could doubt his sincerity.
They all believed he would absolutely follow through on his threat.
Currently, both men were locked in a battle of intimidation and presence, and in this regard, Jin Zhanhao was far too inexperienced compared to Qin Si Ye.
He instantly broke, the knife at Yin Xi’s neck trembling slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, Yin Xi caught Qin Si Ye’s eye and thrust the small iron nail she held tightly towards the man's arm.
Jin Zhanhao cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand immediately dropped to the floor.
Meanwhile, Qin Si Ye had already dealt with the two black-clad bodyguards blocking their path.
In the next instant, he pulled Yin Xi into his arms, then kicked out. With a thud, Jin Zhanhao tumbled headlong down the stairs, landing on the concrete floor below.
The sounds of fighting continued elsewhere in the building.
At some point, Zhao Ze had led his men in.
Qin Si Ye steadied Yin Xi and looked at her with a complex expression before turning to Zhao Ze.
"Send someone upstairs to search for a woman named Wu Mei."
"Yes." Zhao Ze, receiving the order, immediately dispatched two men upstairs.
"Si Ye, you knew all along?"
It was only at this moment that Yin Xi realized Qin Si Ye had been fully aware of the entire situation before he arrived.
"What do you think?" Qin Si Ye retorted, picking up the dagger from the ground and slowly walking towards Jin Zhanhao.
Seeing this, Yin Xi quickly grabbed his arm. "Si Ye, what are you doing?"
"He touched my woman. What do you think I'm doing?" Qin Si Ye's gaze was icy.
Yin Xi paused for a moment, then said quickly, "Si Ye, I wasn't hurt. Don't deal with him yourself. Leave it to the police; it'll be enough to get him over a decade in prison."
Qin Si Ye met her gaze with a complex expression for a few seconds, then finally stopped advancing, handing the dagger to Zhao Ze behind him.
"Take everyone here to the police station."
With that, he glanced at Jin Jingchen, who lay on the ground with his eyes closed, and walked out of the hall without looking back.
"Assistant Zhao, quickly call for an ambulance. Jin Jingchen must have fainted."
Yin Xi took the bag and phone from Zhao Ze, about to chase after Qin Si Ye, when a faint female voice came from the staircase.
"Miss Yin."
Turning back, Yin Xi saw Wu Mei, covered in blood with a pale face, being slowly escorted upwards by two bodyguards.
