The basement was even bigger than the space above. There were many machines in one corner, which must have affected the crew’s system.

There were no chairs, and the bandits sat on the ground. One of them was a tall, bare-chested man with tattoos all over his body. He was pacing in front of them casually.

Jin Ran had been shot in the abdomen. It was not a fatal spot, but the pain and bleeding made her face pale. Her eyes were closed, and she was on the verge of death.

After Lin Sen escaped to the first floor, he still could not escape these people.

He was even captured and beaten up. At this time, he was leaning against Jin Ran, taking off his clothes and tearing them into strips to help her stop the bleeding.

It barely helped. If Jin Ran still did not get any treatment, she would probably bleed to death.

They did not have any ropes on them, but no one dared to act rashly in front of more than a dozen guns, for any carelessness would result in them being shot mercilessly.

“Not any of them.”

The man did not catch the person he wanted to catch, but he looked even more excited. He looked at the trembling Bai Xi and suddenly smiled.

“You’re her younger sister? It doesn’t look like it,” he said.

Bai Xi pursed her lips and showed a fawning smile. “Sir, every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. Are you looking for my sister? I can help you. We’re just ordinary people. Please spare our lives.”

The man did not speak, as if he agreed with her words. Zhao Yuan quickly said, “I don’t know how Bai Lin’s offended you. We’re her family, but we aren’t close to her. It’s useless even if you tie us up.”

“So you mean that you want me to let you go?” the man laughed and said with a good temper.

Zhao Yuan’s eyes lit up. “Can you?

“Sure.

As soon as he said this, not only Bai Xi and the others, his companions could not help but turn around to look at the man, then at them as well. Their expressions were a little strange, like they were mocking them but also pitying them.

When Bai Xi was running with Lin Sen, she accidentally fell and scraped her knee, so it hurt a lot.

Seeing that the man was so easy to talk to, she thought that he had really been convinced, and her smile relaxed. She got up and was supported by Zhao Yuan. She was about to limp away, but the man blocked her.

Bai Xi was puzzled. “Yes?”

The man’s smile widened. “I can let you go, as long as you complete the task I give you.”

“Do you want me to get Bai Lin?” Bai Xi pretended to be conflicted, “But…” Before she could finish her words, she gritted her teeth and said confidently,

“This is immoral, but I’m willing to do it so everyone can leave.”

[That guy hasn’t said what the task it is, right? Why did she imagine that it’s to bring Bai Lin over?]

[She can’t wait for Bai Lin to die. Now that she has such an opportunity, how can she let it go?]

[I’m puking. What’s wrong with Bai Xi?]

[Where’s the police? Why aren’t they here yet? Someone’s going to die!]

A trace of contempt flashed in the man’s eyes. He took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Bai Xi. “Take it.”

Bai Xi accepted it, confused.

“Just stab a few people to death and I’ll let you go.”

Bai Xi was stunned for a moment. She knew that the livestream was still open and there were still people watching, so she threw the dagger on the ground and said with a determined expression, “Then I’m not leaving.”

The man sneered. “You have some will.” He turned his head and shouted at a thin man who was standing in the corner fiddling with something, “Xiao Fang, tie her to that!”

Bai Xi’s intuition told her that something was wrong. At this time, someone grabbed her arm and fixed her in place. Zhao Yuan, Bai Shao, and Li Yan quickly rushed over to stop the thin man after seeing the thing in his hand, but they were all violently pushed to the ground.

A few minutes later, Bai Xi had a five-kilogram bomb on her. The complicated circuit was connected to her heartbeat, and the countdown was one hour.

Bai Xi said stiffly, “This is…”

“A bomb,” the thin man said proudly, “Other than me, no one else in this world can defuse it.”

Although it was not the right time, Bai Lin’s image appeared in everyone’s mind.

She had easily defused six bombs that day, and the production team had failed to stop her from getting any points. If she had come, this bomb would probably not have been a problem.

The man looked at Bai Xi and squatted down to pick up the dagger. He pulled her hand over and put it in her palm. He lowered his voice and coaxed her,

“You stab the three people who tried to stop me just now, and I’ll deactivate

the bomb. As long as you’re careful and avoid the vital parts, they won’t die. I’ve already hacked the production team’s cameras, so no one will know what you’ve done. Go on.”

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, watching Bai Xi’s movements with interest..
