545: A man's backbone must not bend.

"Uncle Qiao, I normally trust you, but the situation is different now. Even if you could let me go, they won't spare me. A lad's death is not a pity, but I must get my sister out," Bai Renjie's hands were trembling, he had only seen such things on TV.

It's not possible to say he wasn't afraid, but to protect his sister, he had to take the risk.

The middle-aged man saw that Bai Renjie refused to let go and murderous intent arose in his heart. No matter how much he appreciated Bai Renjie, he no longer entertained that thought now. If anything happened to Yuan Li, his own death was certain.

He was selfish and couldn't possibly sacrifice his life for Bai Renjie's sake.

So he made his move.

"Watch your step!" A loud shout came, and Bai Renjie subconsciously looked down, realizing too late that he had been tricked. His grip loosened, and he released Yuan Li.
