Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Long Xiaotian’s Life

Translator: Doggotranslation 

As for who the costume masked man should take with him to pick up the car, the costume masked man and his accomplices clearly disagreed with each other. Just at this moment, Lin Zhi’s shout rang out again, “This is the police! The next person we need you to release is a person named Chu Nan! His girlfriend will be sending the money over! Please do not hurt her! Also, the family members of Mr. Liu Xiaosheng, Mr. Li Xinghui, Ms. Zhang Lingfang, and Miss Chen Nan have also arrived!”

Liu Xiaosheng? While I was impressed by Mo Fei’s speed, I couldn’t help but glance around. It turned out that Young Master Liu was also inside this hall. But what surprised me was that I had already made so much noise in the hall, why didn’t he greet me? It was impossible that he didn’t see me. Could it be that he was scared that he would be implicated by me? Or maybe he saw that I knew the costume masked man, he was worried that I would use the costume masked man to retaliate against him.

Alas, Young Master Liu was such a narrow-minded person. I couldn’t help but sigh secretly. The police outside repeated the words they had just said again. When I heard the words “girlfriend” again, my heart suddenly skipped a beat and I immediately reacted. Girlfriend?!

‘Don’t’ tell me that Mo Fei informed Liusu about this.’

I was shocked, but the masked man stopped clenching his fists. Ignoring the cautious opinion of his accomplices, he smiled, “Mr. Chu is such a lucky man. I don’t know if it will be Miss Mo or Miss Dong who will send the money in. Haha, they must have been extremely worried about you. In that case, there is no need for them to come in. Let me personally send Mr. Chu out. Just consider this as an apology to Mr. Chu and the young ladies.”

As long as it was not Miss Cheng! I was sweating profusely. Compared to death, I seemed to be more afraid that Liusu would appear here.

The words said by the costume masked man sound very nice, but everyone knew what it actually meant. This guy wanted to use me as a meat shield to go out to pick up the car. Hearing that someone came to ransom me, although Man Zi was still dissatisfied, he no longer said anything. In terms of the other gunman called Green Snake, he was still suspicious about the costume masked man.

Although I was trying to figure out who this girlfriend was, I stood up under the threat of the gun and walked towards the door honestly. At this moment, the small, skinny gunman called Chopper suddenly called out, “Brother Heng, take this with you as well. . .”

“No need!” Green Snake subconsciously snatched the bag full of banknotes in Chopper’s hand. Seeing the costume masked man looking at him coldly, he pretended to be calm and reprimanded Chopper, “There are all policemen outside, how cumbersome it is if he carries this bag with him? Can’t you carry it by yourself? !”

The costume masked man smiled contemptuously and said, “Yes, Mr. Chu is not an obedient man. I have to keep my eyes on him all the time. Green Snake is very thoughtful. Anyway, I will leave everything to you while I am picking up the car.”

Feeling embarrassed, the gunman called Green Snake simply uttered “Mhm” and then stopped talking. This made the gunman called Man Zi despise the suspicious nature of Green Snake even more. He even spat on the ground while facing him. Regarding the costume masked man’s response, on the surface, it seemed like he was talking about that I was not an obedient man, but the hidden meaning was that he was mocking Green Snake for suspecting him. Therefore, he wanted to personally send me out even more. In this way, not only would he be able to make sure that I would leave safely, but he could also use this to show to his accomplices that he was capable of dealing with me alone. This was a sign of confidence.

But. . . Was this really the case?

As soon as I stepped out of the front door, I couldn’t open my eyes because of the bright light outside. It took me a while to finally get used to it.

“Chu Nan!”

“Chu Nan!”

Hearing the shouting, I looked in the direction where the shout came from. But what I saw next almost made me want to curse out.

The place where the explosion just happened was in the parking lot. One of the famous cars with no visible brand was blown up and fell on the roof of the Ferrari sports car next to it. Although the fire had been extinguished a long time ago, the car was still emitting black smoke. It was a complete mess. Fortunately, the guests were either indoors or on the way to enter the mansion at the time, so the parking lot was almost empty. So there should be no casualties, right? But the deterrence of the bomb still showed its effect. The police retreated very far, about thirty or forty meters away from the mansion, and the entire mansion was cordoned off. A line of police officers holding explosion-proof shields was kneeling in the front row, waiting for the moment to break into the mansion. At the same time, it also blocked the family members of the hostages who wanted to cross the cordon behind them.

It was clear at a glance that the police’s reinforcement had already arrived.

In the direction I was facing, there was a command vehicle with flashing police lights. Standing in front of the vehicle was Captain Lin Zhi holding a megaphone. Behind him was Mo Fei, who was stopped by two policewomen. What surprised me was the two people beside Mo Fei. They were Mo Yizhi and his personal secretary Long Shan! Mo Yizhi actually rushed over in person. Looking at the anxious and worried expression on his face, I was a little touched. It could be said that my life was saved by him.

But when I was moved, the next person I saw made me change my mood instantly. I almost want to curse out loud. Standing in front of Lin Zhi was a long-haired woman, who was dressed in a nimble dress, holding a black suitcase in her hand. She was wearing a red jacket on top, and a pair of wide, straight casual trousers at the bottom. And this person was Dong Xiaoye who was still wearing her wig!

Damn this Lin Zhi. He said that my girlfriend would be sending money over. Was he talking about Dong Xiaoye? Was he stupid or did he think that all the gunmen were idiots? Even if they ignored that Sister Tiger had suddenly changed her evening gown into casual clothes, it would be obvious to them that her upper body was tightly covered and slightly bloated. They would immediately know that she was wearing a bulletproof vest inside! Did they send her in to ransom me, or they wanted to send her in for some other purposes? Moreover, why were the faces of the people accompanying her to go into the mansion so calm? Were they really family members of the hostages? !

Seeing that I was being held captive and walking out of the door, Dong Xiaoye hurriedly took a few steps forward and shouted, “The money is here, let him go!”

“Step back! ” The costume masked man shouted. Even though dozens of guns were pointed at him, he was still very calm, “Young ladies, I understand your eagerness of wanting to hug Mr. Chu, but you still need to endure a little longer.”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed, and Mo Fei said anxiously, “Do you want to break your words? Is one million not enough? You can make another condition! ”

Was there something wrong with Mo Fei’s head? She even took the initiative to remind the bad guy that he could change the condition. . . But it was undeniable that I was touched by this woman’s reaction. Clearly, it was because she was very worried about my safety, that was why she would say this.

“No, I’m always a man of my word, but I still need Mr. Chu to go to get a car with me. I’m sorry, as a bad guy, I have no reason to ask the police to do it for me. After all, we don’t trust each other, do we?” The costume masked man was really cautious. He didn’t leave the slightest chance to the police. Then he carried on with a smile, “If two ladies don’t believe me, you can go with me to the back garden too. I will release Mr. Chu after I get money from you later. But before that, I hope that officers can cooperate with me and don’t try to approach me. Otherwise, not only will it make Mr. Chu lose his life, but I will also detonate another bomb.”

After saying that, he lowered his voice again and said to me, “Mr. Chu, it’s the same with you. I hope you can believe me this time. . . For the sake of Ku’er, please cherish your own life.”

Ku’er? I was taken aback. Thinking about it for a while, I said loudly to Dong Xiaoye who was very worried and Mo Fei who had already teared up, “I’m okay, don’t worry, and officers, for the sake of my safety, please don’t act rashly!”

God knew why I chose to believe him. Of course, in order to reassure the two women, I secretly shook the small handbag that I had been holding tightly in my hand. Although my hands were tied together, this would not prevent me from taking the pistol out of the handbag.

Dong Xiaoye was relieved and whispered something to Lin Zhi. With a wave of his hand, Lin Zhi asked all the officers to lower their guns.

“Thank you.” The costumed masked man whispered to me,

“Don’t thank me, we are not friends or accomplices…”

The costume masked man smiled slightly, “I know, I just want to thank you for finally believing me this time.”

“Curiosity kills the cat, the sad thing is, I am also a very curious person,” I said and then curiously asked, “I want to know why you wanted to risk being suspected by your accomplices to pick me to come out with you?”

The costume masked man walked with me slowly and chuckled quietly, “Mr. Chu, let’s assume one thing. If several of my accomplices find out that they would not be able to escape, do you think they will surrender?”

I frowned, “What do you mean?”

Seeing that I didn’t answer his question, the costume mask man answered his own question, “No, they will not. Because they are scumbags and animals. Kidnapping, murder, robbery, and rape, every one of them is carrying a heinous crime. If they are caught, they will definitely get a death sentence. Therefore, desperation will only stimulate their fear of death, exposing the most violent and cruel aspect of human nature. They will definitely start a killing spree. Then you can take a guess, if you stayed there, who do you think Man Zi would kill first? ”

The cold sweat spread all over my forehead immediately, “M… Me. . . ?”

Hearing my vague answer, the costume masked man merely responded with a smile.

While we were talking, we had already moved to the back garden. In terms of the people that were following us, except for Mo Fei and Dong Xiaoye, as well as Mo Yizhi and Long Shan, there were only six or seven fully armed policemen who kept a distance of more than 20 meters away from us.

From the words of the costume masked man, I could sense something, but I was not sure about the bold assumption in my mind, “Why are you sure that I will be killed if I stay? Or, I should ask, why are you sure that your accomplices would start killing hostages?”

“What do you think?” The costume masked man had obviously known that I had the answer in my heart, so he put the pistol against my back with caution.

I didn’t scream nor tell him what my guess was. I looked at the armed police who followed us, and I whispered in disbelief, “Are you not going to run away with them? !”

The costume masked man snorted disdainfully, “The so-called accomplices are just a group of different individuals united for common interests. I have already obtained what I want, but they are still getting what they want. So we no longer have the same goal. Then it is time to break up the partnership.”

I don’t understand, “You have what you want? What is it?”

Was there something wrong with this guy’s head? Wasn’t he empty-handed now?

The costume masked man sneered coldly, “Long Xiaotian’s life. . .”
