"...Did you hear me?"
The man's face was grim.
"Let go of me!"
"What you're doing is illegal!"
"I'm calling the police!"
"I've already called the police."
Zhao Luzheng shook his phone.
The man froze.
He had thought...
He only wanted to make the other party question their own judgment and thus loosen their hold on him.
He could take the opportunity to escape.
He hadn't expected...
"Fine."
The man stubbornly refused to back down.
At a time like this, he absolutely couldn't show any fear.
"Call them."
"When the time comes, you won't get down on your knees for me—"
"Ow!"
The man let out another howl of pain.
Xiao Xiao curved the corners of his lips.
There wasn't the slightest trace of a smile in his eyes.
"I don't like hearing unpleasant words."
The man's face was livid.
But the sharp pain pulsing from his restrained wrist made him press his lips tightly together.
Damn it.
From the moment he'd been caught, he hadn't abandoned the idea of escaping.
Yet he'd never found an opportunity.
"Tsk."
Zhuge Yun looked at the man with mockery.
"Stop showing off with your mouth."
"All you'll do is make yourself suffer."
"First, think about how you're going to explain your own illegal actions to the police."
And they were the ones who were illegal?
"Hand over the bracelet."
Zhuge Yun's gaze swept over the man.
"Then apologize to the girl."
"If your attitude is good enough and the girl is magnanimous enough, it's not as if we can't put in a few good words for you with the police."
"Bah."
The man sneered.
"If I don't have it, I don't have it."
"When the police arrive, you'll be the ones in trouble."
"You—"
"Make way."
