"Easy, which bastard are you? State your na, I don't have ti to ss around with you, I'm busy recording a statent right now." Luo Zheng sneered, speaking in an arrogant tone. In these kinds of phone negotiations, one must never show their true self or let anything slip, otherwise the opponent will grasp your psychology, analyze lots of things, and put the conversation into a passive state.
"Don't rush, we've tangled with each other for a whole day, and you still don't know who I am?" the other party sneered.
Luo Zheng directly hung up the phone, leaving Shi Feng and Niu Gang dumbfounded. Is this even allowed? Luo Zheng looked at Eck and sneered, "I reckon it was your boss calling, wanting to exchange you for a hostage."
"Really? That's great, hurry up and make the exchange." Eck perked up and said excitedly.
"As you can see, your boss really pissed off, so I declined. I'll give you the last three seconds to consider, will you talk or not?" Luo Zheng mocked. At that mont, the phone rang again. Luo Zheng didn't answer it but showed it to Eck, giving Eck hope, making him think he could be rescued and thus refuse to confess, only to utterly crush that hope later, plunging Eck into complete despair, at that point asking anything would be easy.
"Quick, answer the phone," Eck shouted excitedly upon hearing the ringtone.
Seeing it was about ti, Luo Zheng spotted a hook on the ceiling and said to Niu Gang, "Sorry to trouble you, hang him upside down, head down and feet up, I need to let out so of his blood, otherwise this bastard won't confess."
"Alright then," Niu Gang agreed readily. Although it was sowhat against the rules, with Luo Zheng around, he didn't have to bear responsibility, so Niu Gang couldn't care less, he called for help. Shi Feng wanted to intervene but hesitated and gave up. Eck struggled in panic as he was hung on the ceiling hook by Niu Gang.
Luo Zheng connected the call, opened the video, pointed it at Eck, and turned on the speaker, then said, "You recognize this person, right? You have three seconds to consider what's coming next."
"He will die a martyr, sacrificing for his country, dying a worthy death. If the hostage dies, your mission is a failure," the other party said coldly, with icy anger in their voice.
Luo Zheng did not respond, nor did he feel like responding. After a while, his hand flicked the Tiger Teeth knife swiftly, cutting open Eck's wrist vein, and brought the phone cara closer to let the other side see clearly before saying, "Ti's up. You can watch him bleed out slowly. I hope he lasts half an hour, don't let us both down. I heard your people can endure well, let's wait and see."
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill the person you need?" the other party exclaid in shock and rage.
"Afraid? So I killed your person, at least there's so account for the dead." Luo Zheng sneered disdainfully, his heart tensing up. If it really was Charlie, and he killed Mrs. Liu, then the bla on him would be huge. But confronting an expert like Charlie, Luo Zheng had no certainty, could only use unconventional thods.
"Release him imdiately, bandage him, exchange the hostage," the other party roared.
"Are you ordering ?" Luo Zheng mocked.
"Fine, then let them all die, kill the hostage, let's see what you do. As a soldier, where is your honor? Ignoring the hostage's safety, disregarding the mission's success or failure, soone like you isn't worthy of being my opponent. Killing people, huh? Anyone can do that, so go ahead and kill," the other party coldly rebuked, with an indignant fury.
"Facing an opponent like you, defeat is inevitable anyway. Killing a few of your people before losing isn't bad for venting. Honor? To hell with honor, when I get discharged, I'll co for you. You can kill the innocent, so I can kill your family, the innocent of your country. Co on, from the mont you kidnapped soone, you're no longer a Special Agent, but a terrorist. Against terrorists, my answer is only one: eye for an eye," Luo Zheng coldly stated, leaving no room for negotiation.
Luo Zheng's words didn't shock the person on the other end but it did shocked Eck. Eck knew he was sure to die today, the hope he had managed to muster vanished into thin air, plunging him into complete panic, he shouted, "Charlie, save , I don't want to die yet."
"Damn it, I'm ashad to have a teammate like you," the voice on the phone roared in anger.
"Did you hear that? He has already abandoned you," Luo Zheng looked at Eck and sneered, continuing to strike at Eck's psychological defenses. Everything said just now was for this mont. Seeing Eck's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, Luo Zheng couldn't help but sneer and decided to increase the pressure. He spoke into the phone, "Charlie? So it really is you, good, this recording is enough to classify you as a terrorist for kidnapping ordinary citizens of my country, your country won't protect you publicly, you've lost, lost thoroughly and completely, releasing the hostage is your only chance of survival."
The other end of the phone was silent, but one could hear heavy breathing, evidently trying hard to control their emotions. Luo Zheng calmly waited, then looked at Eck and sneered, "See? Your people have completely abandoned you, still want to hold on? Quite a bit of blood has flowed already."
"You've won this round, exchange the hostage, we'll duel again," the person on the phone coldly stated, no longer as angry as before, but with a hint of iciness.
Luo Zheng could tell, the other party had indeed conceded, but Luo Zheng didn't want to give up at this point, instead, he continued, "Eck's blood has flowed a lot and can continue for a while. First answer a question, how did the hostage co into your hands? I must say, your thods of kidnapping hostages are very clever. Moreover, I'm afraid, I have a bad habit of wanting to understand the truth more the more I'm afraid."
"Don't threaten with that loser, after exchanging the hostage, feel free to ask yourself," the other party coldly said, "In ten minutes, the train station, co alone with him, rest assured, I won't bring anyone else either." Saying this, the other party decisively hung up the phone.
"Huh?" Luo Zheng was surprised that the other party decisively cut off the call, quite resolute; such a person is hard to deal with. The line was drawn; going alone to exchange the hostage would an he'd made a mistake, taking people to exchange the hostage would an all effort was in vain, how can this be done? Luo Zheng's face turned cold, he looked at Eck coldly and said, "Your boss actually dared to hang up on . This makes unhappy. I refuse to cooperate. You only have one choice to survive, while your blood hasn't run out, answer my question."
"How can you be like this?" Eck said in a panic.
"Shi Feng, could you trouble the house owner for so midnight snack, we'll eat before going back. Rember to pay, we'll return after watching him bleed out and die." Luo Zheng stepped back a few steps, sat on the sofa and said with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about the hostage's life at all, but inside he was burning with anxiety.
