"You... you!"
Zhu Jianian was so shocked that she couldn't find the words to speak.
She had thought she could come here to humiliate Ji Wei, but she never expected the police to show up. She clearly wasn't the kidnapper, yet now, the situation left her with no way to explain herself.
"Criminals inside, did you hear that? Surrendering is your only option. Put down your weapon!" The voice of the SWAT officer came again, jolting Zhu Jianian back to reality.
In a panic, she gripped the knife, pressing it closer to Ji Wei's neck.
Madness filled Zhu Jianian's eyes as she screeched, "Why did you call the police? Why are you forcing me! If you hadn't called them, I might've let you live. Now it's too late for everything!"
She shook her head, her eyes red with overwhelming fear.
Her emotions were too intense; as she spoke, her hands trembled uncontrollably, the sharp tip of the knife threatening to pierce Ji Wei's neck at any moment.
