#278 - Chapter 278 Negotiation
"Your leader is in my hands!"
The words shouted through the loudspeaker exploded in the hearts of Green Source's executives like a bomb.
President Qin has been captured!?
How is that possible!?
"Stop shooting! Unless you want your leader to die!"
The voice continued to shout.
Chen Junchi's scalp tingled as he hid behind the wall, cautiously peeking out.
At some point, a burly man had appeared, holding a pistol in his right hand and escorting someone with a hood over their head and their hands tied behind their back with his left!
Team Leader Chen recognized him!
That burly man was suspected to be the mastermind behind this incident!
"......"
The executives on the wall fell silent, the momentum they had just regained and the confidence they had built up sinking once more.
They saw the figure held by the burly man, estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall, dressed in casual clothes, resembling Qin Jin's usual attire!
"Don't doubt it! If you dare to shoot, my brothers will tear your leader apart!"
Zhou Guang's face was grim as he forcefully shoved the person he was holding with his left hand, pressing the pistol in his right hand directly against the head of the hooded figure, and walked to the open space between them and the main base.
"Is that really A'Jin? What do we do!?"
Qin Guoqiang asked anxiously, directing his question to Qin's father, but voicing the question everyone was thinking.
What to do!?
Qin Jin was suspected of being captured by the other side!
No wonder President Qin didn't return all night last night!
The people on the wall felt a chill in their hearts, the situation that had just improved entering an extremely unfavorable state once again!
"......"
Qin's father gasped for breath, his eyes wide, with deep panic hidden in the depths of his pupils.
He stared intently at the person being held hostage below, trying to determine if that person was really Qin Jin based on their appearance.
Unfortunately, no matter how he observed, he couldn't draw a definite conclusion.
He felt his mind was in chaos!
Regarding his brother's question, he struggled to think before barely managing to say:
"Ask them what they want, and confirm if that's A'Jin, then we'll decide..."
This was the only option they had.
A loudspeaker was taken from the duty room and finally handed to Qin's father.
Qin's father glanced at the two people below with difficulty, mustered his courage, and shouted towards the other side:
"How can you prove that's our leader!?"
Hearing this.
Zhou Guang grinned.
He was afraid they wouldn't negotiate.
"I don't need to prove it! I say it is, it is! Don't believe me? Should I break his hand and send it to you to take a look?"
As he spoke, he put away the pistol in his right hand, took out a machete from his waist, and pretended to chop at the arm of the hooded person in front of him!
"Don't!!"
Qin's father anxiously stopped him.
The smile on Zhou Guang's face widened even more.
"I don't have time to waste with you! If you don't want your leader to die, open the gate immediately!"
He spat, decisively using the other leader's life to exchange for the opportunity to open the gate!
The people on the wall who heard this felt their hearts sink again.
Indeed!
"We absolutely can't open the gate! If we open the gate, President Qin is finished! We'll be in danger too!"
Chen Junchi said urgently, he was afraid that Qin's father would really agree to exchange President Qin's life for the opportunity to open the gate, in his opinion, this was a dead end!
On the contrary, opening the gate would very likely lead to the other side directly killing President Qin, and their defended main base would be completely breached!
"......"
However, how could Qin's father not know this?
He couldn't make the decision to agree either.
Everyone was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Zhao Ling, who had been staying on the wall, walked to Qin's father's side and said to Qin's father, who seemed several years older:
"President Qin, can I have the loudspeaker? I want to communicate with them."
!
Qin's father looked at Zhao Ling in astonishment, the leader of the base's logistics unit, actually stood up and took the initiative to negotiate with the other side!
Looking at the determined eyes and serious face of this female executive of the base, he was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and handed the loudspeaker to her as if possessed.
After taking the loudspeaker, Zhao Ling gave Qin Guosheng a reassuring look, and nodded to the other executives to indicate that she would grasp the situation well.
Everyone was relatively accepting of this, the gate must not be opened, but if they could exchange materials for the leader, that was still negotiable!
Taking the loudspeaker, Zhao Ling gave Qin's father and mother a reassuring look, and also nodded to the other executives to indicate that she would grasp the situation well.
Everyone was relatively accepting of this, the gate must not be opened, but if they could exchange materials for the leader, that was still negotiable!
"People on the other side, listen up! We will never open the gate! Let's negotiate, propose conditions that both sides can accept, as long as they are reasonable, we can give them!"
The crisp female voice echoed in the area, causing Zhou Guang's side to be stunned.
A woman came out to speak!?
And the other side really refused to accept the request to open the gate!
"I'll count to three, if you don't open the gate, I'll kill your leader!"
As he spoke, Zhou Guang kicked the hooded man in front of him, stepped on his back with his foot, and pretended to chop at the person underneath with the machete!
He didn't forget to start counting down:
"Three!"
"Two!"
Seeing this scene, many people on the wall felt a chill in their hearts, they didn't know if that person was Qin Jin, but no one dared to gamble!
Except for Zhao Ling, who felt a sense of relief in her heart, and a certain idea she had became more certain.
She didn't act like the other uneasy people around her, but directly interrupted Zhou Guang's countdown, and said in a more forceful tone:
"What countdown! Didn't I say! Renegotiate! Even if you kill our leader, we will never open the gate! And if you dare to shoot! We'll shoot you dead immediately!!!"
She even blurted out 'Old lady', not only stunning Zhou Guang who was counting down below and making him forget to speak, but also shocking all of their own personnel!
Oh my god!
Is the base's logistics unit leader so awesome!?
Aren't you afraid of the leader dying!?
"......."
No one knew how many gasps of cold air there were, all were shocked by this valiant woman.
This time, Zhou Guang felt a heavy weight in his heart!
Damn it!
The other side refused to open the gate!
Of course, this was the most normal situation, he was just betting that the other side had someone confused and stupid enough to do such a stupid thing.
Now it seemed that the most optimistic possibility had been lost.
But he hadn't completely lost yet!
In that case, if he couldn't take down the entire Green Source, then at least he had to dig out a large chunk of their flesh!
As long as the people were still there, he would get the benefits this time, and there would be opportunities to plan again in the future!
Thinking of this, he continued to step on the person underneath, picked up the loudspeaker and said in a deep voice:
"Since you won't open the gate, then if you want your leader back, exchange that thing with us! Our request is very simple, we did this because you are unfair in your actions, so we gathered together to take back what belongs to us!"
Sure enough, they were negotiating!
Zhao Ling became even more convinced of a guess, but for that person, it was better not to take any risks that could be avoided, materials could be found again, but if the person was gone, they would be really gone.
"Okay! As long as it's reasonable, we can agree!"
She gave Qin's father and mother a reassuring look, and also nodded to the other executives to indicate that she would grasp the situation well.
Everyone was relatively accepting of this, the gate must not be opened, but if they could exchange materials for the leader, that was still negotiable!
