Chapter 82: Enemies Meeting Face To Face
Huo Tian laughed and happily took off her earphone. She picked up her baton and strode towards her house.
By now, the kidnappers were already exhausted from the robotic objects running around in the courtyard. In the end, they could not be bothered to grab Ding Rong, who was well protected by the robotic arm, and they could only choose to retreat temporarily.
Hence, the kidnappers, who had slowly retreated to the tailor shop one after another, came into Huo Tian, who had kicked the door open.
The kidnapper’s leader, who was carrying a machete, was walking in front. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Huo Tian.
“Are you that woman’s daughter? You came at the right time!”
With that, the kidnapper’s boss walked towards Huo Tian with the machete in hand. He didn’t look like he wanted to kill Huo Tian directly. Instead, he wanted to capture her alive and use her as a hostage to threaten the police who might come later.
Huo Tian also realized his intentions and sneered in her heart. She put on a panic front and asked, “Are you guys the bad guys who had kidnapped my mother? I’ve already brought the money over. It’s in the vehicle outside…”
The kidnappers’ leader looked out through the open door and saw an ordinary-looking van. He was happy. The most important thing now was not whether they had money in the van or not. As long as they had this van, they had a higher chance of escaping.
The leader of the kidnappers said, “It seems like you kept your promise. As long as you bring us to check if the notes are real, the deal will be over and you will be able to see your mother.”
“Is that so? That’s great…”
Just as the kidnappers’ leader had expected, although this little girl appeared very calm when talking to him on the phone and had a mature feeling that exceeded her age, if she were to really face vicious kidnappers like themselves, this little girl would still show some naivety.
Upon hearing that her mother could be released, the girl’s face lit up in joy. She didn’t even suggest checking if the hostage in her hand was safe before handing over the ransom.
However, in the next second, the naive girl in the eyes of the kidnappers’ leader revealed a devilish smile.
The girl raised the baton in her hand and giggled. “Uncles, there’s a van outside with 500 million yuan in it. If you can successfully drive the van and escape, you’ll be able to do whatever you want in the future.”
“But there’s a prerequisite…” Huo Tian got into her stance and swept her sharp gaze across the crazy-looking kidnappers. She said slowly,” The prerequisite for all of this is that you can defeat me, or rather, for you to escape from this room.”
The moment Huo Tian finished speaking, the back door of the tailor’s shop was slammed shut. The kidnapper at the very back was given a shock. He subconsciously reached out to push the back door, but he felt that the door was extremely heavy. No matter how hard he tried to push and bang it, the door refused to budge.
In the Ding Family’s backyard, a palm-sized robot spent a great deal of effort to cut the rope binding Ding Rong’s wrist. Thereafter, the small robot seemed to have used up all its power and landed on Ding Rong’s knee with a thud.
Ding Rong’s hands trembled as she caught the small robot. It took her a long while before she dared to look at the kidnapper whose throat had been pierced.
Her entire body was limp. Even though the ropes on her body had been released, she still rested on the chair for a long while before she had the energy to move…
After taking some deep breaths and mentally preparing herself, Ding Rong used all her strength to move the kidnapper who had fallen on Liu Jun.
She did not even dare to check if the kidnapper was still breathing, and could only place more of her attention on Liu Jun.
Ding Rong’s hands trembled as she touched Liu Jun’s chest. Only after she realized that his heart was still beating did she heave a sigh of relief. She slapped Liu Jun’s cheeks and pinched his cheeks hard. In the end, Liu Jun was woken up by the pain.
Liu Jun, who had just woken up, sat up abruptly and panted heavily. When he saw Ding Rong squatting in front of him, Liu Jun immediately cried. “Auntie Ding, are we dead?”
Ding Rong shook her head and replied weakly, “We’re not dead.”
“B-But I clearly saw that kidnapper raising the machete at me earlier. How can I not be dead?”
Liu Jun touched his neck in a panic. He did not know if it was because of psychological reasons or something else, but he felt a throbbing pain in his neck. It was as if someone had really slashed it.
Ding Rong shook her head and pointed next to Liu Jun. “The kidnapper who wanted to kill you is here. You just fainted from shock. We’re really not dead.”
Liu Jun’s gaze followed Ding Rong’s finger and slowly moved to an object beside him.
The originally tall and strong kidnapper was now lying stiffly on the steps. Liu Jun’s gaze slowly moved up and eventually landed on the kidnapper’s throat and face.
There was an irregular hole in the kidnapper’s throat, and the edge of the hole was splattered with blood. The kidnapper’s face was fixed in a stunned expression, and his round pupils contracted, looking up at the sky with empty eyes…
