"this……"

After hesitating again and again, Director Nie was still a little undecided. He couldn't help but cast his gaze directly at Xia Wuren and me: "What do you two think?"

Director Nie was undoubtedly conflicted at this time. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was very tempted by the conditions offered by the woman in red, but at the same time he was full of concerns.

And of course I understand what he is worried about. He is not worried about whether the woman in red will fulfill the agreement, but he is worried that once he agrees to the woman in red, the matter will be reported to the "Yucheng Religious Bureau" and even the entire "relevant departments"

, what impact it has.

As people from the "relevant departments", we should not compromise with any evil forces at all, let alone bargain with them.

If we really agree to the conditions of the woman in red today and release the woman in blue, this will certainly solve a big problem for us right now, but it will also send a message to the outside world that we can actually bargain!

And this is obviously not what we want to see, because such an impact is really too bad!

At a small scale, this is a temporary compromise to the "Orchid Gate" for the sake of temporary expediency; at a larger scale, this has even seriously affected the impartiality of the judiciary, and at the same time, it will also affect the credibility of the "relevant departments"

.

"That's a good thing!"

I was weighing the pros and cons of this, but before I could say anything, Xia Wuren had already said first: "Isn't this just a solution to our current predicament? There is nothing to hesitate about, just agree to her quickly..."

"no!"

As soon as Xia Wuren said this, I was immediately startled. Before he could finish his words, I couldn't help but interrupt him quickly and said firmly: "I can't agree to her!"

Of course what Xia Wuren said has its truth, and everything he said is also true.

Agreeing to the conditions of the woman in red can indeed solve our current predicament to a certain extent. Not only will we temporarily lose one enemy, but we will also be able to figure out the true identity of "Wei Xiuwen". It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for the woman in blue, her threat to us is actually quite limited. Whether we let her go or not, it can be said that it has no impact on the overall situation at all.

I'm actually not surprised that Xia Wuren would make such a choice, because he always considers issues from the perspective of interests. As long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, of course he will not object.

Affected by him, I think about problems from the perspective of interests, but the result after my consideration is completely opposite to his!

Although they all started from the perspective of interests, what Xia Wuren considered was only the immediate interests, but he ignored the bad impact this matter would have on the Religious Affairs Bureau!

In the long run, releasing the woman in blue will definitely do more harm than good! Because it is related to the reputation of the entire Religious Affairs Bureau, such an opening must not be opened. Once such a precedent is set, then this pair of religious

The impact in the future will be too great!

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Xia Wuren, because he is not a member of the Religious Affairs Bureau at all, and naturally he will not consider the issue from the perspective of the Religious Affairs Bureau, so he will not care about the impact this matter will have on the reputation of the Religious Affairs Bureau.

"Um?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the woman in red across from me frowned and glared at me fiercely. Then she pretended to be fierce and said: "I heard what you said, you are going to die."

Don’t want to save me? Believe it or not, I can let people kill all the hostages right now!”

"I believe it! Of course I believe it!"

I nodded affirmatively. In fact, I had never doubted the woman in red's "decision to kill", so I said helplessly: "The people are in your hands. Of course you can kill them. What can I do?"

?”

"Of course you have a way!"

Gritting her teeth fiercely, the woman in red then said with determination: "As long as you let Lan Yi go, I guarantee that they will not lose a hair! If not..."

"snort!"

At this point, the woman in red paused deliberately, snorted coldly, and then said with a murderous look on her face: "Then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

While talking, she even deliberately took out her mobile phone in front of us, as if she was ready to give orders to execute the hostages at any time.

"Can't do it!"

My attitude was also extremely resolute. I didn't even wait for Director Nie to express his position. I said firmly: "You want us to let Lan Yi go. This is absolutely impossible!"

"We are all adults. If you do something wrong, you will naturally have to pay the corresponding price. The same is true for Lan Yi, and the same is true for the hostages you captured! Since they can be captured by you, this in itself is nothing.

A glorious thing!”

"you!"

As soon as these words came out, the woman in red became very angry and prepared to notify her subordinates.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that the woman in red was about to call his subordinates, Director Nie couldn't help but become a little anxious. While calling the woman in red, he quickly persuaded me: "Wang Lin, we have something to talk about. You have nothing to do with it."

Don’t act out of anger!”

"snort!"

There was another cold snort, and seeing Director Nie's attitude softening, the woman in red couldn't help but rush to strike while the iron was hot: "Thankfully, you are still from the relevant departments. Hasn't your Religious Affairs Bureau always claimed to be the embodiment of justice? Why?

?Are you really going to die without saving me?"

"I tell you, if these people were really killed by us, they were killed by you! You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. This is what you call justice!"

"joke!"

As soon as the woman in red finished speaking, I couldn't help but sneer on the spot: "It's you who caught the person, and it's the person you want to kill. It's none of our business? What qualifications do you have to accuse us from the moral high ground?"

"Since you know that we are from the relevant departments, you should know that we will never compromise with any evil forces!"

As I said that, I couldn't help but glance at Director Nie, and said firmly: "Director Nie, such a hole must not be opened. Once it is opened, all kinds of ghosts and snakes can bargain with us. When the time comes, you

How can our Religious Affairs Bureau gain a foothold in the world?"

"this……"

How could Director Nie not understand such a simple truth? But as the director of the Chongqing Religious Affairs Bureau, he obviously couldn't abandon more than a dozen lives and ignore it, right? So he said: "But..."

"Nothing to worry about!"

Before Director Nie could finish speaking, I interrupted him with a strong look on my face: "This is a matter of principle. You are the director of the Chongqing Religious Affairs Bureau and Mr. Deng's favorite disciple. You should know this matter better than me.

How bad the impact will be! Not only our Chongqing Religious Affairs Bureau, but also the entire Religious Affairs Bureau will be affected by this!"

"I even suspect that this is a trap they dug deliberately, just waiting for us to jump into it!"

"Huh! That means there's no discussion at all!"

Seeing my resolute attitude, the murderous intent in the red-clothed woman's eyes suddenly became more intense, and she said with a ferocious look on her face: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she made a phone call directly, as if she was about to take action.

"Brat!"

Seeing this scene, not only Director Nie was anxious, but even Xia Wuren couldn't help but look at me in surprise, lowered his voice and said, "You really don't care about the life or death of those hostages? Isn't this like your style?"

"rest assured!"

But I shook my head and said with confidence: "She doesn't have the guts!"

"Say it again!"

As soon as these words came out, the woman in red suddenly became furious, and her eyes at me became even more sinister. She subconsciously dialed a number on her mobile phone, and said with a ferocious smile on her face: "See if I dare!"

"Okay! Stop pretending!"

Without waiting for her to give any instructions on the phone, I waved my hand directly to her and said with a sarcastic smile: "I don't believe it. In your eyes, those dozen hostages are more valuable than your own life." Jingui!"

"you!"

Facts have proved that my guess was right. From the beginning, the existence of those dozen hostages was just to ensure her own safety. Otherwise, how could she put forward more conditions in exchange for the blue clothes? woman?

With my current strength, if she really doesn't have those dozen hostages as threats, it will only take a matter of minutes to capture her.

Once exposed by me, the woman in red suddenly became a little angry and gritted her teeth. In the end, she did not dare to directly issue the order to kill all the hostages. She jumped and was ready to leave here.

"Wait a moment!"

It was only then that I suddenly stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't leave, let's talk?"

"Um?"

Looking at me suspiciously, the woman in red was obviously a little confused by me, so she snorted: "Huh! I have nothing to talk to you about!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Although we can't release Lan Yi directly, we can guarantee her life safety! Moreover, if she is willing to atone for her crime, confess honestly and cooperate with us, it is not impossible to release her..."

Having said this, I couldn't help but look at her meaningfully, and said with a mysterious smile on my face: "I think you should understand what I mean!"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the eyes of the woman in red lit up, but also Director Nie and Xia Wuren next to me couldn't help but look happy. Among them, Xia Wuren couldn't help but secretly gave me a thumbs up, as if he understood now. My intention!

Frankly speaking, I really don't care at all whether the woman in blue needs to be detained again, but even if I have to release her, it won't be now, because I have to take into account the face and reputation of the Religious Affairs Bureau.

The reason why I firmly refused to agree to the conditions of the woman in red was not because I refused to let the woman in blue go, but because I wanted to resolve the matter in another way.

Because if we don’t take into account the reputation of the Religious Affairs Bureau, exchanging the woman in blue with the woman in red can actually be said to have a hundred benefits without any harm!

So I thought of a compromise. We can transfer all the conditions offered by the woman in red to the woman in blue! In this way, whether the "Orchid Gate" withdraws from Yucheng or they tell us "Wei Xiuwen" "'s true identity has become a bargaining chip for the woman in blue to atone for her sins!

In the eyes of others, they may say that this is just taking off their pants and farting, which is no different from direct exchange!

But in my opinion, this is very necessary! Because in this way, we have a reason to be "lenient" to the woman in blue, after all, she is "atoneing for her sins"!

In this way, even if this matter spreads, it will not have any negative impact on the reputation of the Religious Affairs Bureau. Because the Religious Affairs Bureau is originally happy to hear such things.

"Okay! Then I will believe you again!"

The woman in red was such a smart person. She quickly understood my intention, sneered, jumped over the wall, and headed straight for a small forest not far from here.

"I'll be back as soon as I go!"

I turned around and said to Director Nie and Xia Wuren, and I quickly followed them. About half an hour later, I returned to the Religious Affairs Bureau and said with a hearty smile: "Okay! You can release them now.
Chapter completed!
