Hearing the crying of the children inside, everyone was anxious and distressed. Such a significant issue had reached a deadlock.
Tang Haiyang, in order to stabilize them, said, "Okay, I will immediately send someone to negotiate with the higher-ups. I ask you to keep your promise not to harm the children before noon the day after tomorrow."
There was no response from inside; instead, a roar was heard, "Shut the hell up!"
With that commotion, the other two children inside the cave also woke up.
Xie Jiabao, Tang Haiyang's nephew, might have been spoiled at home, but he was quite smart. Despite being scared to death, he still pulled the sleeve of the crying child, cautiously reminding, "Stop crying, or they might hit us." Upon hearing a familiar voice and also fearing a beating, the child managed to stop crying.
Tang Haiyang sent people down and stayed there himself to stall the man with the scar, wanting to remain as close as possible to his nephew in case something went wrong.
