Song Xiaodong had entered the room on the western side, where, aside from Li Sijie, there was another man holding a dagger to Li Sijie's neck.
Li Sijie was tied to a chair, her mouth sealed with duct tape, and strapped to her body was a package that appeared to contain explosives.
Upon seeing Song Xiaodong enter, Li Sijie immediately started shaking her head energetically, trying to speak, but could only produce muffled sounds; her eyes expressed immense discomfort and guilt.
Song Xiaodong addressed the man in the room, "You go out first, I want to speak with her for a moment."
The man stood there, unmoved, and then Sun Dongming's voice emerged, saying, "Just talk like that."
Song Xiaodong turned to look at Sun Dongming, "How can I talk to her with you all here?"
"Then that's too bad, just figure it out yourself," Sun Dongming shrugged nonchalantly, appearing very cocky.
