Xia Bingqing faced him with a cold expression.
She showed no courtesy to Hu Xiong.
As a matter of fact, she had no reason to be polite to him.
"Get out, or I'll call for help immediately!"
Hu Xiong narrowed his eyes, "Ms. Xia, I hope you'll be smart!"
"Not a fool!"
As he spoke, he casually pulled a gleaming dagger from behind him.
His intention was crystal clear.
Upon seeing the dagger, a cold glint appeared in Xia Bingqing's beautiful eyes, "What are you trying to do?"
Hu Xiong's lips curved into a mocking smile, "What am I trying to do? Can't Ms. Xia tell? Why ask the obvious?"
"If you cooperate with me today, I can certainly spare you from physical pain!"
"Ridiculous..." Xia Bingqing let out a cold snort, completely disregarding Hu Xiong.
Xia Bingqing's alarm button was located beneath her feet. With a slight movement, she stepped on it.
In a short while, the signal was received by the security office.
Upon hearing the commotion, Chen Fan, Ge Dashan, and others sprang into action.
"Quick, something's happened to Ms. Xia!"
"Gather at Ms. Xia's office immediately!"
All the security guards in the building were mobilized.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.
Hu Xiong's expression instantly soured with anger upon hearing the alarm, "You good-for-nothing Xia Bingqing, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Without further ado, he lunged...
His movements were as swift as a startled rabbit.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xia Bingqing.
It wasn't that she didn't try to dodge, but she couldn't escape.
With a loud clang.
He easily pinned Xia Bingqing onto the desk.
The dagger was pressed against her neck as he said coldly, "Xia Bingqing, you're so cunning!"
"Do you believe I'll stab you to death?"
Enduring the sharp pain, Xia Bingqing didn't respond.
Soon, the first person to rush into Xia Bingqing's office was Liu Wenwen.
Upon witnessing the scene, she was startled and immediately shouted, "Who are you? What do you want? Release Ms. Xia at once!"
Hu Xiong pulled Xia Bingqing up and said coldly, "Do you think that's possible?"
At this moment, the dagger was at Xia Bingqing's throat.
As long as Hu Xiong willed it, he could kill Xia Bingqing at any time.
Therefore, Xia Bingqing was terrified, and cold sweat poured down her in waves.
She had encountered danger before, but this time, she felt herself drawing closer to the gates of hell.
Her heart pounded.
Seeing that the situation was dire, Liu Wenwen dared not speak harshly. She said, "You... you don't act impulsively! Let's talk this through, we can give you money!"
"Or, how about I be the hostage?"
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity, which demonstrated the deep bond between Liu Wenwen and Xia Bingqing.
Hu Xiong immediately spat, "I don't want you! If you say one more word, I'll kill her!"
Liu Wenwen instantly fell silent, taking a deep breath. "You... you don't get agitated, alright? Let's talk this through properly, can we!"
Hu Xiong roared, "Xia Bingqing, tell her to get out immediately!"
Before Xia Bingqing could speak, Liu Wenwen quickly said, "Alright, don't be impulsive, I'm leaving now!"
Just as she was about to retreat.
Chen Fan, Ge Dashan, and their group arrived. Seeing the scene before them, they were also somewhat taken aback.
However, Chen Fan remained relatively calm.
Liu Wenwen excitedly said to Chen Fan, "Chen... Chen Fan, you must save Qingqing!"
"This..."
Chen Fan said, "Alright, you go out first!"
