"Alright!" Xia Weiguo agreed with surprising swiftness. Not just Su Yijia, even the two men holding her seemed momentarily stunned.
"Then write down what we want on a piece of paper and pass it through," one of the captors demanded.
"You come out first, let us keep an eye on Jiajia to ensure her safety," Xia Weiguo countered, struggling to maintain his calm. These men were ruthless; without supervision, they would definitely harm Jiajia, risking Qin Kaize's life.

"Alright!" Xia Weiguo couldn't afford to delay. He ordered his men, "Retreat, move out immediately."
Obeying the command, the men swiftly withdrew from the courtyard. Listening to the sounds outside, the man beside Su Yijia tapped her face with his gun.
