Chapter 193 Liu Yuning's Negotiation

"How will you solve it? That's five million, not fifty thousand. How can your police salaries possibly cover that?"

"That's not what I meant, we can also help through other channels!"

"Don't lie to me. My situation isn't like illness or a crisis. This is all due to my own investment misjudgments. No one will help me!"

Cai Mingjie gritted his teeth, his nerves taut. The arm holding the dagger bulged with veins, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was creased with wrinkles. From his appearance, it was clear he wouldn't compromise.

"Even so, you can't handle it this way, Mr. Cai. You can seek revenge in other ways. For example, make Manager Huang owe millions like you?"

Uncle was speechless and wanted to scold Liu Yuning, but I stopped him. I knew Yuning was trying to learn from my previous method. Since Cai Mingjie was too agitated, it would be considered lucky if Manager Huang could be saved this way.

Cai Mingjie seemed to find this idea interesting. "What do you want to do?"

I analyzed from his tone that this method might have a chance.

"Make him immediately buy that stock. Whatever he has, he should spend it all!"

As soon as Liu Yuning finished speaking, Manager Huang cried out, "That won't work, Officer Liu! I'll be ruined!"

"If you want to live, do as I say!"

"Hmph, exactly, Mr. Huang. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. This is your last chance!"

"Alright, how much do you want me to buy?" Manager Huang conceded.

"Five million!"

"I don't have that much money. At most, I only have five hundred thousand!"

"You're lying! Your salary is so high, and you get so much commission. You must have millions!"

"My family needs money for everything. My wife doesn't work, and I have four children to support. This money isn't enough. I was planning to use that five hundred thousand for a new house. If I invest it now, it'll be gone."

"I don't believe you!"

Cai Mingjie said, holding the controller as if about to press a switch. Liu Yuning immediately raised her hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, Mr. Cai. I believe Manager Huang only has five hundred thousand. How about we just give you this money? Think about it, that stock is a lost cause. Investing in it will be like throwing money into a bottomless pit. It's better to give it to you as compensation!"

I secretly thought, Liu Yuning did well this time.

But Cai Mingjie was reluctant and cursed, "What's the use of that? I still have to repay four million five hundred thousand. And after I repay it, I'll have to start all over again. I can't leave my wife and daughter behind!"

"You can. Regarding your wife and daughter, I will communicate with them properly. Don't worry. You can also apply for bankruptcy and start anew! This is much better than dying now. Better to live poorly than die well!"

"Ahaha, Officer, you have quite the way with words. Although what you say is pleasant and even reasonable, I still won't agree. This is just a ruse you've set up to arrest me. Once you let the hostage go, you'll pounce on me and arrest me!"

"Is that so? You're covered in bombs now. Even if you release the hostage, we won't bother with you. Let you fend for yourself. If you detonate it, it's your problem. You'll just die alone. Don't implicate others!"

Upon hearing Liu Yuning say this, Uncle couldn't help but speak into the radio, "Yuning, don't provoke the criminal!"

"I know what I'm doing!" Liu Yuning replied in a low voice. Cai Mingjie, whether genuinely persuaded or not, fell silent for a moment. I couldn't tell what his expression was.

"Officer, what's your name?" he asked when he spoke again.

"My name is Liu Yuning. I'm a captain in the criminal investigation team, but I've now joined a police organization called the Sin Punisher Squad to help investigate some in-depth cases."

"Really? Doesn't this sound like a novel?"

"Perhaps. Mr. Cai, I suggest you release the hostage, and then I'll find someone to help you remove this dangerous outfit. How about that?"

"I don't want to live. No matter what you say, I won't change my mind. I want to take this sinner down with me. I want to die together with him!"

"Is there really no room for negotiation, Mr. Cai? Think about it. If you let go now, you still have a chance to see your wife and daughter. Otherwise, everything will truly be over!"

As Liu Yuning spoke, seeing the critical situation, I asked Gao Mingqiang to contact Cai Mingjie's wife and daughter, hoping they could come to the scene and persuade him.

A moment later, Gao Mingqiang informed me that Cai Mingjie's wife and daughter were on their way.

I spoke softly into the radio, "Yuning, Cai Mingjie's wife and daughter will be here soon. Hold on!"

Liu Yuning responded with a sound and then said, "Cai Mingjie, your wife and daughter are coming!"

"What did you say? Is that true?" Cai Mingjie was clearly very agitated and extremely anxious.

"It's true. They are on their way. As long as you release the hostage and accept our help, you can be reunited with them. You don't want them to see you like this, do you? Think about it, what would your wife think? What would your daughter think? If you die today, they will certainly think you were foolish. Especially your daughter, she will be mocked by her classmates at school for having a father like you. Even when she starts working, people at her workplace will look down on her. If you change your mind now, even if this situation cannot be completely erased, it will at least lighten the burden of your sins. Cai Mingjie, you had a good position, didn't you? Reaching where you are today proves your ability. You are a smart person. You understand the suggestion I just made!"

I praised her again in my heart. Liu Yuning had spoken well. Even Uncle nodded in satisfaction.

The next second, Cai Mingjie became even more hesitant. The manager Huang next to him struggled at this moment. I inferred this from some collision sounds. Sure enough, Cai Mingjie quickly cursed, "You bastard! You're trying to escape!"

Manager Huang reached Liu Yuning's side. She immediately raised her gun and shouted, "Don't move!"

"Hmph, since there's no hostage, I might as well go. I didn't expect the final outcome to be like this!"

"Cai Mingjie, don't be impulsive. Your daughter and wife are almost here!"

"It's too late. I don't want to see their expressions when they see me like this!"

Saying this, Cai Mingjie did not press the switch. Instead, he turned and jumped directly off the building. I had already pushed open the door to the rooftop.
