Chapter 554: Chapter 583 Negotiation Failed (Part 2)
"You guys earn a salary, it’s not easy. Hurry and make way!"
Watching the two unmoved security guards, someone said very calmly.
The tone felt as if they were doing something completely normal.
But before the security guards could respond, someone started crying out of fear.
Standing three to four meters away, outside the group of seven, was Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn’t look but glanced curiously at the parent who just said they bought a five-million-dollar sports car.
The child being held by the speaker and the parent who bought the car looked about seventy percent similar, likely a father-son duo.
From this, Lin Xi could roughly guess these people were probably in it for money.
If it’s for money, then the parent who bought the car will definitely be released later, as they’ll mostly rely on him for funding.
Of course, Lin Xi also took note of these people’s capability.
Among the three, the one holding the child was the strongest, roughly with special forces capability, similar to the security guards.
The other two and the person in the car didn’t have special forces level capability.
For example, if they didn’t have hostages, even with the person in the car joining, the four might not be able to handle two security guards.
However, the situation couldn’t be unfolded now.
So, at this moment, the two security guards looked very troubled.
If they made way, they’d be letting the bandits take people away openly; if not, they sensed the previous words were no joke.
While they were hesitating, an elderly man walked out from the kindergarten; he seemed to be the principal or something.
He stepped to the front of the crowd and pointed angrily at the three, "What are you trying to do? Release them! The police will be here shortly. Even if you take them, you can’t escape."
Two of the bandits didn’t speak; the third one whispered softly to the bandit controlling the parent,
"Draw blood!"
The two security guards heard this; their expressions changed drastically, as the three gave them no room to maneuver.
In the next moment, a long cut was drawn across the neck of the parent who bought the car.
Immediately, his neck was stained red in the blink of an eye.
Everyone instantly heard a wretched scream echoing down the street; some even saw the parent wet his pants.
The elderly man’s face turned frighteningly grim.
Yet, he calmly asked, "What do you really want?"
"As long as you release the parents and kids, we’ll meet any of your demands."
Those words instantly improved the parents’ impression of the kindergarten quite a bit.
At this moment, the person turned to the elderly man, "If you can immediately give me fifty million, I’ll release two people!"
After all, the kidnapping was for money.
As for revenge or being hired, there was no such thing.
Then why kidnap this person in particular?
It was because, when they happened to pass by, this person was bragging about buying the car.
Moreover, he boasted, "Five million is just small change."
However, if that parent knew this, he’d be heartbroken.
Back then, he bought the car for the female salesperson, who looked extremely attractive.
As for saying five million is tiny, that was him boasting. Five million was already a whopping sum to him.
But, to woo her, he had to boast!
And the female salesperson didn’t care whether he bragged or not; as long as the car was sold, she’d earn at least hundreds of thousands.
"Fifty million?" The elderly man repeated, shaking his head immediately, "We don’t have that much money; running a kindergarten is too costly."
"We can currently offer around a hundred thousand."
Hearing this, the three’s expressions changed, and one shouted, "You decrepit old man, are you trying to send beggars away?"
At the same time, he said to the man holding the child, "Boss, let’s hurry and leave, or it’ll be tough when the special forces arrive!"
The bandit holding the child nodded and turned to the two security guards, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t make way, this child’s parent will suffer!"
"3!"
"2!"
At this moment, the two security guards looked at the elderly man.
The elderly man shook his head helplessly, signaling them to make way, saying he tried his best.
So, before the three could speak, the security guards reluctantly moved aside.
At this time, Lin Xi, who had been odd to everyone, suddenly received a text message.
Upon seeing it, he opened it; it was Xixi who sent it.
They exchanged numbers last time at Xixi’s house.
So Xixi had his number all along, but why send a message at this moment?
Given the situation now, as long as the bandits don’t leave, the problem will be settled.
"Hmm?"
The message’s gist was that the little boy was Xixi’s good friend in kindergarten, and she was very worried for him now.
She was sharing her feelings with Lin Xi, without any other meaning.
However, seeing this, Lin Xi, who initially didn’t want to interfere, realized he had no choice but to get involved, especially since his Xixi was worried!
Thus, bandits, you can only blame your bad luck.
Slipping his phone into his pocket, he looked at the bandits walking toward the van, one of whom kicked away the parent he just held hostage.
Their initial goal was just to take the child.
Carrying away one person was simpler and easier to control compared to two.
But they’d captured the boy from quite a distance away from the vehicle; even after they’ve moved a few steps, there’s still a five to six meter gap.
At this moment, as the bandits approached the van, they suddenly found a young man blocking their path, smiling at them amusedly.
"What’s going on?"
Everyone at the scene was stunned!
