The middle-aged man agreed to his daughter, but didn't know how to explain it to his two brothers. After all, they've already kidnapped the people, and they've made the call to Yang Tai to demand money. Now, suddenly saying they want to quit—he fears they won't agree.
Moreover, they're not like him, having attachments. If he recklessly reveals it, he's afraid he might end up being countered by both of them simultaneously.
But the middle-aged man doesn't plan to call the police. Once he reports it, even if the judge considers his merits for reporting the crime, he is still one of the accomplices. He's afraid he will still be sentenced and disappoint his daughter.
So the best solution is to secretly let the two children go and ensure they don't say anything.
But is this really feasible? Not to mention whether the two children remember his face, but would the two brothers really be careless enough to let him release the people?
