Chapter 79 - Discovering Liu Jun
Chapter 79: Discovering Liu Jun
However, the kidnappers waited for a long while, but there was no movement in front. The leader lifted the curtain at the back door of the tailor shop and asked, “What’s going on?”
The underling who was leaning against the window to observe the situation outside said, “Brother, that vehicle has been parked outside and hasn’t shown any signs of movement. No one has come down from the car either.”
The leader did not know what was going on either. He walked back and forth in frustration and his gaze accidentally landed on the green plant that had just made a sound. He suddenly met a pair of horrified eyes.
The leader of the kidnappers was shocked. He thought that he had been ambushed. However, after calming down, he moved the wide leaves away and saw a young boy who was trembling in the shadows.
The young man who was discovered was Liu Jun, who was hiding here. After Liu Jun was discovered, his mind was blank and his limbs were soft. The kidnappers grabbed him by the collar and brought him to an empty space in the courtyard.
Liu Jun was so frightened that he felt weak all over and didn’t have any strength to resist. Once the kidnapper let go, he collapsed onto the ground.
The leader ripped the tape off Ding Rong’s mouth and kicked Liu Jun, who was in front of Ding Rong. “Do you know this person? What is with him?”
Ding Rong said in surprise, “Little Liu, why are you here?”
Liu Jun’s voice was trembling. “I, I don’t know. Can you guys let me go? I’m just a passerby…”
The kidnappers had already searched Liu Jun’s body and found his phone in his pocket. In order to confirm if Liu Jun had called the police, the kidnapper’s leader said in a deep voice, “Unlock your phone.”
Liu Jun didn’t dare to let the kidnappers see his phone screen. It was his live-stream room. He had been checking the images that came from his camera through the live-stream room.
The camera was currently in the shadows by the steps of the back door of the tailor shop and hadn’t been noticed by the kidnappers. If the kidnappers knew everything that he had done, Liu Jun believed that he would definitely be killed before Ding Rong.
The kidnappers had already brought the phone in front of Liu Jun. Liu Jun’s body was trembling as he pushed himself against the ground to hide. “No, no, I don’t know anything. Please, big brothers, let me go. I’m begging you, I won’t say anything…”
The leader got impatient. He swung the machete down and it stood upright on the wooden table behind Liu Jun.
Liu Jun thought that the kidnapper was going to chop off his head. He subconsciously grabbed his head with his hands and cried loudly, “I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please let me go!”
“I said, unlock your phone. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll chop off your fingers one by one and see if I can unlock it with your fingerprint.”
Even if it didn’t take his life immediately, Liu Jun couldn’t tolerate the pain of his fingers being chopped off. He cried and hesitantly reached out his right index finger.
An underling grabbed his finger and pressed it firmly on the fingerprint unlock button.
His phone was unlocked and the underling saw the densely packed comments on the screen. He looked at it for a long while and finally understood what it was. He immediately ran to his boss with a pale face.
“Boss, this is bad. This brat has plotted against us. He had been live-streaming just now and had captured all of us in the live-stream!”
The kidnappers all went over to look at Liu Jun’s phone and saw that the environment was exactly the same as the courtyard they were in. Their faces also appeared on the screen.
The Internet had already memorized their faces. Even if they could escape, who knew how long they could hide for.
“Damn it, this damned guy!”
One of the kidnappers was so angry that his face turned red. He walked over in two or three strides, grabbed Liu Jun’s collar, and lifted him. He picked up the machete on the table with one hand and raised his arm, pressing the machete against Liu Jun’s neck.
“Tell me! When did you start the live-stream?”
How could Liu Jun remember when he had started the live-stream? He trembled as he desperately tried to find a way out.
“S-Sorry, Big Brothers. I really didn’t mean to go against you. The site traffic of my live-stream is very bad. No one likes to watch my live-stream. Those people all think that I’m just filming a joke. They all think that there’s a script involved. As long as you don’t kill me, the netizens won’t suspect anything.”
At this moment, after a careful search, a few other kidnappers had found the camera that Liu Junjun had pushed to the side of the stairs with a stick. The black camera was very small and hard to find without looking carefully.
These kidnappers did not dare to let the camera capture their faces. They immediately stepped on it the instant they found it, destroying it.
Ding Rong saw this scene and suddenly laughed. “Little Liu, Auntie wants to thank you. You broadcasted all of this. Tiantian must have seen it. Tiantian knows that these people want to kill us after getting the ransom. She’s so smart, she must have thought of a way by now.”
Liu Jun’s horrified gaze shifted to Ding Rong’s face. He realized that Ding Rong was still smiling, and there was no trace of fear on her face. He could not help but cry out loud.
