"Let her go!" Even though Lin Feng knew that shouting this wouldn't have any effect, he still yelled it out.
"Hehe... Do you think I'm that stupid?" Bai Wu sneered coldly. Although one of his arms was incapacitated, he knew he was temporarily safe.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have fainted from the pain long ago; such intense agony is unbearable for most, and they would likely pass out as a form of self-protection. But Bai Wu was a professional Assassin. He understood that he couldn't afford to collapse at this moment. Perhaps he knew even better that if he fell now, he would never get back up.
"Let them both go. I promise you, I won't pursue this matter," Liu Jie shouted as well. Although it was futile, at least it expressed his stance.
He had originally planned to let his subordinates find an opportunity to leave for a while, making Song Xin think there was a chance to act, and then send someone to harm He Ting and the others.
This way, he would have the chance to save He Ting and force Song Xin to give him an explanation.
As for whether he had the ability to save the two women, he simply ignored that question. He knew that none of Song Xin's subordinates were stronger than him; not even anyone with comparable strength.
From what he understood about Song Xin, he would act this way, but he hadn't anticipated that the outcome would be like this—White Tiger actually managed to successfully take He Ting hostage.
However, given Lin Feng's impulsive nature since the last incident where he acted "in anger for a beauty," Liu Jie knew that in order to save He Ting, Lin Feng would risk everything.
This was precisely what Liu Jie considered a sign of Lin Feng's immaturity. He believed that a man shouldn't be so impulsive over a woman; impulse is the devil, you know?
Thus, at this moment, Liu Jie shouted to express his position.
"Hehe... Liu Jie, Jie Shao, known for being ruthless, do you really think I would believe your words?" Bai Wu exerted more force and shouted loudly.
With this exertion, He Ting's breathing became somewhat labored, and her delicate face flushed slightly.
"Wait, stop! What do you want? Just say it, don't hurt them," Lin Feng blurted out in a panic upon seeing He Ting's situation.
Lin Feng knew that impulsiveness was the worst enemy in negotiations, but he also understood that the White Tiger was not an ordinary assassin. He still had Xiao Na in his hands, and he wouldn't hesitate to kill someone to show Lin Feng his determination.
And the first person to be killed would naturally be He Ting.
"Feeling heartbroken?" White Tiger said to Lin Feng with a mocking smile. His arrogance was palpable; even if he faced Liu Jie, one of the top experts of Qian Gang, it didn't matter. After all, Liu Jie was being threatened into inaction.
"Shout for him to save you," Bai Wu said, seemingly unsatisfied with the situation. She ripped off the tape from He Ting's mouth and spoke to her.
Earlier, to successfully ambush Lin Feng, Bai Wu had instructed her thugs to create a distraction at the door while He Ting and Xiao Na inside had their mouths taped shut. Otherwise, they wouldn't just sit there watching Lin Feng fall into danger.
Others might think Bai Wu was overly arrogant, but Lin Feng knew that her arrogance was merely a facade. By tearing off He Ting's tape to let her speak, she aimed to put pressure on him, forcing him to lose his composure and agree to her terms.
Because whether He Ting asked Lin Feng to save her or not get involved at all would only increase the mental pressure on him, putting him in a dilemma.
Once Lin Feng found himself in such a predicament, he would be prone to making impulsive and wrong choices.
He Ting seemed to understand Bai Wu's intentions as well; she remained silent, scanning every corner of the room, clearly trying hard to find some way out.
However, she quickly became disappointed. Not only was it unlikely for her to find any breakthrough, but with her hands and feet bound, any action would be incredibly difficult.
Even if she could move, what about Xiao Na? If He Ting managed to escape but Xiao Na remained in Bai Wu's grasp, Bai Wu could still use Xiao Na to threaten Lin Feng. At that point, Bai Wu might even harm Xiao Na just to warn Lin Feng.
For instance, by slashing a few cuts across Xiao Na's face. Although this would be cruel, He Ting believed that Bai Wu was capable of such actions.
"Slap... slap... I want to hear you scream, call for him to save you." Seeing that He Ting neither called for Lin Feng's help nor told him to ignore her, Bai Wu directly slapped He Ting twice, leaving two distinct handprints on her cheeks.
The reason Bai Wu slapped He Ting was partly due to his anger, but also because he wanted to put pressure on Lin Feng.
Seeing a woman suffer because of him, how could Lin Feng not feel distressed? The pressure was immense.
Tightening his fists, Lin Feng could no longer hold back and shouted, "What kind of skill is it to hit a woman? Just tell me your conditions."
"Hehe... the good show is yet to come. Here, take this. You can either shoot Liu Jie or shoot yourself; it's your choice." Bai Wu grinned smugly and tossed a handgun to Lin Feng.
"Do you really think Liu Jie will let me hit him?" Despite his anger, Lin Feng still asked.
"That's true. Then just go ahead and commit suicide. Who knows, if you do that, I might have a change of heart and let these two women go." Considering that Liu Jie would likely dodge the bullet, Bai Wu proposed another option to Lin Feng.
"What if after I commit suicide, you still don't let them go?" Lin Feng tightened his grip on the handgun.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me right now?" Bai Wu tightened his grip around He Ting's neck with both hands. With those powerful arms of his, Lin Feng believed that if Bai Wu exerted any force, He Ting would immediately lose her life.
"Fine, I'll commit suicide. I hope you'll let them go; otherwise, even as a ghost, I won't spare you." Lin Feng said as he disengaged the safety on the handgun.
Next, Lin Feng pointed the gun at his forehead, preparing to pull the trigger.
Seeing Lin Feng comply with his arrangement made Bai Wu very pleased; he laughed maniacally. He knew he wouldn't be leaving today alive and had no intention of surviving. As long as he completed his mission, his family would possess wealth they could never spend in a lifetime. So what did it matter if he died?
Bai Wu had already planned that once Lin Feng was dead, he would immediately kill the two women and then confront Liu Jie. He knew that even at his peak strength, he wouldn't have been able to match Liu Jie; let alone now that one of his arms was useless.
The so-called desperation might just be a rather unheroic way of committing suicide.
"Lin Feng, no! You have to go, you idiot! If you die, you can't save us!" He Ting couldn't hold back any longer as she saw Lin Feng point the gun at his own head and disengage the safety. Her voice was filled with heart-wrenching anguish.
Images of everything she experienced with Lin Feng flashed through her mind like a movie reel: the first time he saw her in her arrogant demeanor, the way he ran recklessly to save his sister, the moment he held her in his car, and so much more… these memories kept replaying.
Tears soaked her face as He Ting finally understood that Lin Feng would risk everything not just for Dong Jie, but also for her and Xiao Na.
Her mind was blank; all she knew was that Lin Feng was about to disappear. Once the gun fired, there would no longer be a Lin Feng to bicker with or share drinks with.
Xiao Na felt the same way. She recalled the first time Lin Feng saved her, how he stood up for her in Zhu Bajie's office, and how he spent lavishly for her mother in the hospital… Although she had known Lin Feng for a short time, she realized that if he died trying to save her, she would be devastated.
At that moment, the tape over Xiao Na's mouth restricted her ability to speak, but her tear-streaked face conveyed the same feelings as He Ting's.
"Lin Feng, calm down! If you die, those two girls won't survive either," Liu Jie urged anxiously. Among everyone present, he cared most about Lin Feng. If Lin Feng died, where would he find someone as talented as him?
"Brother Liu, I have no choice. I have to take this chance," Lin Feng said with a faint smile directed at He Ting and Xiao Na. His smile was bleak—like someone bidding farewell before death.
With that, Lin Feng decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang… The gun fired.
At that moment, the magic ring activated; as soon as the bullet left the chamber, it was absorbed into the ring.
"Ah…" Everyone, including Liu Jie, froze in shock. Lin Feng had clearly shot himself in the head; flames had erupted from the gun's muzzle, yet there wasn't a single wound on his head.
What is going on? Is this magic?
Taking advantage of everyone's shock, Lin Feng fired another shot.
Of course, Lin Feng did not aim the gun at himself; no matter how powerful the magic ring was, he wouldn't shoot himself twice, right? That would be foolish.
With a "bang," as the muzzle flash appeared, almost simultaneously, Bai Wu's hand that was gripping He Ting's neck was rendered useless. Following Tesla's instructions, Lin Feng targeted one of the pressure points in Bai Wu's arm, and instantly, his entire arm fell limp as if it had detached from his body.
"You..." The intense pain in his arm snapped Bai Wu out of his daze. Immediately, he lifted his uninjured foot and kicked towards He Ting.
At this moment, he no longer wanted to escape or kill Lin Feng; he only wanted to take someone down with him before he died.
He Ting was the best candidate for that, as he still wanted revenge against Lin Feng. Bai Wu believed that if he and He Ting died together, Lin Feng would live a lifetime filled with guilt and regret.
In truth, Bai Wu was only partially correct; if He Ting died because of him, Lin Feng would indeed be heartbroken and blame himself. But the real question was whether Bai Wu could successfully kill He Ting.
With a "bang," a bullet struck one of the pressure points in Bai Wu's raised leg just as he prepared to kick He Ting to death. This was also a shot that Tesla had instructed Lin Feng to take; once hit, Bai Wu's leg would be rendered useless as well.
As for the answer, it was already clear: Bai Wu could not kill He Ting.
