Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 217: 217: ’Kidnap’ Young Master

Actually, this point doesn’t really mean anything; Li Yan also doesn’t expect these bandits to keep their word.

His words were nothing more than a reminder to the trainees behind him on how to negotiate this matter with the local officials! The battlefield can only be at the foot of the mountain, it can never be on the mountain!

Even if they fear causing panic, they cannot do this! Speaking of this, we have to mention the management at the foot of the mountain. Li Yan could guess some of their motives, which were to quickly suppress this matter.

They didn’t want this issue to escalate; bandits appearing on a local mountain would be negligence on the part of the local management! They would all be dismissed, so the intelligence that Li Yan received was also mixed with false information.

Li Yan clenched his fist hard, yet he was eager to tear it apart. If it weren’t for their false information, they would never have encountered such an accident!

”Okay, no problem!” Chuan Er still agreed readily. As long as Devil King was in his hands, he wasn’t afraid to negotiate with the local management. When the time comes, wouldn’t everything go according to his words!

”Third, and also the most important! I want these villagers safe, and I want them to go down the mountain with my trainees!”

Taiping Mountain is intricately complex, and it’s difficult to find the key among them, but these local villagers are different. Among the more than 100 villagers, there’s always someone who knows the situation. He believes his trainees can definitely extract useful clues from their mouths.

”That’s not possible! Without them, I have no guarantee. By then, what if your trainees attack?” Chuan Er refused without hesitation.

”That’s simple! I can have my trainees leave first, and then have the villagers leave! Once they all leave, a signal will be sent from the foot of the mountain, and I’ll know you’ve kept your promise! Of course, as a sign of sincerity, I’ll go with you. As long as I’m in your hands, these villagers will be useless to you.”

Li Yan’s words were very tempting and indeed very attractive to Chuan Er. Exchanging more than a hundred villagers for the Devil King wasn’t a losing deal!

”Alright! I agree with you!” Chuan Er was not afraid anymore. This time, he was going all in.

He could even ’kidnap’ the Earl, so what else couldn’t he do? Anyway, there were still hundreds of villagers on the mountain; he wasn’t afraid of not having any chips in hand.

”However, you must have your people leave now! Immediately, at once!”

These special trainees were standing right in front of him, giving him an unprecedented sense of crisis, and it was very intense. Only by making them disappear now could he truly feel at ease.

Li Yan glanced at the trainees behind him, but he could see the refusal on their faces. He resolutely and without any hesitation said, ”Retreat immediately!”

”Earl...” Everyone refused. They couldn’t let the Earl be in danger. These vicious bandits would definitely not keep their promises; they would do anything...

”This is an order!”

If there was no other way, Li Yan would never have made such a decision. Maintaining national stability, protecting the people, that was his duty. He hadn’t forgotten his mission; he was a trainee!

Li Yan had already given the order, and no one had the slightest way around it. Military orders are as unmovable as a mountain; on the battlefield, this is an iron rule.

”I want my people to watch them go down the mountain! Make sure they all leave the area of Taiping Mountain!” Chuan Er added another condition. He was now extremely afraid of these trainees; if they made a surprise return, it would definitely catch them off guard!
