Watching the girl facing death with resignation, Zhan Moxiao felt heartbroken. He forcefully pulled her close, saying nothing for fear of provoking Chen Kai.
But silently in his heart, he said, "You are not afraid to die, but I am. I fear that after you die, I will live the rest of my decades in agony."
To distract Chen Kai, Xie Shichen began trying to influence his thoughts, earnestly persuading him by talking about life, ideals, and family, hoping to awaken his conscience.
During this process, Zhan Moxiao quietly moved his hand little by little towards Chen Kai's wrist.
Xie Shichen, with years of experience in police work, was very adept at understanding a criminal's psyche. His negotiation was effective, causing Chen Kai to be momentarily dazed.
However, Xie Shichen chose the wrong topic. When he talked with Chen Kai about imagining a future where he meets a nice girl, falls in love, gets married, and has children, it triggered Chen Kai.
