“The police should be here soon. If you do something before then, we'll testify for you and prevent you from getting locked away in prison. On top of that, you'll get to keep the one hundred thousand,” stated Nan Chen after exchanging looks with Ning Ran.

Filled with hope, Guo Si quickly inquired, “What should I do then?”

“Get us out of here after you finish your drink,” replied Nan Chen.

“Huh?” With his eyes widened in surprise, Guo Si immediately disagreed with Nan Chen. “Absolutely not!”

“Suit yourself,” voiced Nan Chen coldly.

Guo Si then explained with a hardened face, “I've already told you my situation. They're threatening me with my wife and children. If I let you all go, they'll harm my family for sure.”

“We've been here for days, but did they come to the island?” questioned Nan Chen.

Even if you take us elsewhere, none would be the wiser since they refuse to come to this island. Didn't you say it yourself that they'd enter the city tonight? Not only is that more than one hundred kilometers away, but the road is also under maintenance. There's no way they can get here any time soon. Those people are going to have themselves a good time eating and drinking in the comfort of the city. Heck, they'll probably even get drunk. It'll be afternoon when they get to the village tomorrow, and the police will have already found us when they realize we've left the island long ago. Then, we'll tell the police you didn't kidnap but saved us, and you'll get off scot-free with one hundred thousand in your pocket. I'd say this one is a no-brainer, wouldn't you?” With that,
