Chapter 397: Saving a Life-IV

Wang Li Lei shortly arrived at his destination with still eleven people following him. The destination was at an abandoned building with a ten story high. The street he walked on grew scarcer from people and by the time he arrived there was no one at the path other than the eleven people behind him.

Wang Li Lei strode to enter the building. His guns was still attached to his sides and in both hand he had a brown trunks with the same size with the only different being in the color. Once he entered two people was waiting for him, both of them wore a mask to hide their faces.

"Put your weapons down." the first man ordered, he was holding the gun as he spoke and point it down and up from Wang Li Lei to the ground. Easily, Wang Li Lei placed down the trunks and without any resistance pulled out his gun and threw it to the ground.

"Kick it here." and Wang Li Lei kicked the gun. He then bent to take the trunk as if nothing happened.

"We did it!" the man beside the other one exclaimed in joy, "We got him, the head of Dragon Group."

His friend shut him off, "Shush, bring the gun here." his friend nodded and went to pick the gun, looking at the design of the silver guns in a twinkling eyes of fascination and admiration. The first man who had spoken earlier than squint his eyes at Wang Li Lei's surrounding finding the two trunks, he smiled widely, thinking it was the money which would be them in just a few minutes.

The man inclined his head and looked at his friend in a confusion before they start to discuss amongst each other. "... be the one." spoke the first man. Clicking his tongue he yelled, "Come with us!" From behind the eleven people entered the building and walked behind Wang Li Lei with one having a gun pointed to Wang Li Lei's back.

Wang Li Lei didn't care much. He entered, following the people inside until they stop and walk down into a room where there was two people tied on a chair with their heads covered with a black bag.

"Finally arrive." Wang Li Lei heard a voice welcoming him and found another man who was wearing a face mask too. Even with his face mostly hidden, his greedy eyes was easy to tell.

From where he stood, Wang Li Lei could see how the two people's chest heaved up and down with breaths. It was clear that they were alive but whether it was Zhao Min and his daughter was not guaranteed. "I want to see their face." Wang Li Lei said.

"Okay, okay." said the man who seemed to be the head of the group. He walked to the woman and hearing the footsteps, the girl's body flinched in fear. She raised her hand to her head as if to protect herself but her hands were both tied behind the chair, restricting her movement.

When the black bag pulled, a girl appeared. Her face was wounded and there was bruises and cut wounds on her face. Her cut injuries was still fresh but they were not ones that couldn't heal or will leave a permanent scar fortunately. Rounds of black and blue bruises on her face made her looked more pitiful and each time she looked around, adjusting her sight, her body trembled in fear with the unknown people she saw. Her face snapped to the far left near the door, to see Wang Li Lei and her tears spilled out from the relief.

"Do you know how a person determined death or alive?" The man asked Wang Li Lei and his hand moved at the girl's head and at the touch the girl's body went shaking. "It is when they stopped breathing they say but that's not the truth. It is when they have no more emotions to be reflected on their eyes, don't you agree?"

Wang Li Lei quietly observed the man throughout the conversation. He had a large build, a massive amounts of muscles but what made him different from the rest were the fact that he spoke in broken Chinese language. His eyes were bright blue, signifying his identity to be a foreigner.

"Perhaps." Wang Li Lei replied, his tone was stale as he did so.

"The money?" asked the man and saw the two trunks on his hand.

Wang Li Lei placed the trunks down, the black on the ground before the brown trunk he raised to the man. "Before the money, what is this trunk for?"

"That?" The man grinned and he walked to take the trunk, "A delivery. We needed that but at the same time we need you to come out of the way, hitting two birds in one stone, ain't it?"

Wang Li Lei easily released the trunk, letting the man take it. Behind him, the man's face had grown wide with the smile he had. Placing the trunk to one of his men, he let it settled and spoke, "Now, the money. In exchange, we'll let you free."

"Simply?" Wang Li Lei questioned his words, his black eyes found how the man shrugged his shoulders.

"Is it hard to believe?" the man asked.

"Yes." He confirmed. His eyes were closed for a few second before it opened. "If money is your aim, you would have chosen an easier way than this. Instead of taking Mr. Zhao and her daughter."

The man sang a piqued humming, "That's so? I prefer doing everything for money. Whether killing, kidnapping, or stealing if it was for money I would have done it. It's a human nature to choose what you think is the best and for me it is wealth. What else? You seemed to still be thinking something."

"Nothing." Wang Li Lei said and his hand went to take the black trunk. "I was just curious of who had hired you."

The man frowned at him, his blue eyes turning large from the socket. But his surprise came to a quick end. "So you know. This make it easier for you to die then." came the man's fascinated tone and his grin was as wide as saucer.

When he was about to pull his gun and take a shot on the defenseless Wang Li Lei, a shout came to the other end of the room.

"Boss! This isn't money! It is a bomb!" The same man who had taken the brown trunk yelled aloud, alarming everyone including Zhao Min and his daughter who was still tied on their chairs.
