189 Cheating
“How dare you! How dare you offend us!” The man with the taser glared fiercely and smacked the scar-faced man’s cheek. “How much were you going to extort from him?”
The scar-faced man endured the humiliation and turned his face away. He said angrily, “What does it have to do with you?”
“Hey, you guys borrowed my place and still dare to be so arrogant?” A few hooligans tied the four kidnappers together with ropes and glanced smugly at Shen Yin, who was tied to the chair beside them. “Little girl, tell me, how much money did they extort from your family?”
Shen Yin was not naive enough to think that these people were here to avenge her. They were probably here to take advantage of her and kill anyone who had seen the white powder!
She gritted her teeth and said calmly, “My family is not rich and can’t pay the ransom. However, that person over there is the family’s favorite. You can ask her.”
Shen Luo glared at her resentfully. She had not expected Shen Yin to do this to her. These criminals were obviously more vicious than those stupid kidnappers, but Shen Yin actually told them that Shen Luo could afford the ransom!
The hooligan grew interested. He walked closer to Shen Luo and stared at her face lecherously. His big hand stroked her face repeatedly. “Little girl, is what she said true?”
“No!” Shen Luo quickly denied it and shook her head in panic. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. She has President Lian to back her up. President Lian will pay a hundred million yuan to save her. Don’t let her deceive you!”
The hooligans widened their eyes in disbelief. “A hundred million? Little girl, are you kidding?”
At this moment, Shen Luo could not care less about her plan. She only knew that she had to betray Shen Yin to ensure her own safety.
She quickly shook her head. “No, if you don’t believe me, ask those kidnappers. They found your things and want to sell them to President Lian together with her!”
The hooligan turned around angrily and kicked the scar-faced man. He said fiercely, “Oh, you were thinking of selling my goods? Let’s see if you have the luck to enjoy them?”
“Fourth Brother, who is this President Lian that this young lady is talking about? Can he afford so much money? And I think that young lady looks a little familiar. I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.” One of the men who had not spoken until now rubbed his chin and stared at Shen Yin’s face as he thought carefully.
He suddenly remembered and slammed the table as he pointed at Shen Yin excitedly. “She’s a police officer! The last time I snuck back to the old building and saw her, she was with that man called Wu Zheng!”
When the scar-faced man heard the name Wu Zheng, his eyes immediately widened. His eyes turned red with anger. Only then did he realize that he had actually foolishly discussed the ransom with the police. He could not help but sneer.
The police had probably already surrounded the area!
This time, no one would escape!
The hooligan recognized Shen Yin as one of the police officers who had worked on the case last time. He was grinding his teeth in hatred when he suddenly heard the scar-faced man’s laugh. He threw the taser at him in frustration.
The scar-faced man immediately fell to the ground and twitched uncontrollably, but he glared at Shen Yin resentfully.
He endured the pain that shot through his body and clambered up to grab the hooligan’s pants. He begged, “Let us go. It’s not too late for us to join forces. The police must have surrounded the area by now!”
“What did you say?” The hooligan kicked his hand away, grabbed his collar, and said angrily, “What police? Don’t tell me that you were tricked by this woman just now and negotiated a ransom with her police colleague!”
The scar-faced man smiled bitterly as blood flowed from his lips. “Yes, she fooled us. We didn’t know her identity. Let us go quickly. If we join forces now, we might be able to escape.”
The hooligan suddenly let go of his collar and looked at his watch. Only then did he realize that the appointed time to meet his boss had long passed. He was afraid that things were not looking good over there.
In a moment of desperation, the hooligan suddenly pulled out a dagger and placed it at Shen Yin’s neck. “You can only blame yourself for being too good at causing trouble. You police have captured so many of our brothers. If we can’t escape, we’ll perish together today!”
Shen Yin smirked coldly. “Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to escape. I advise you to surrender quickly, lest you have another life on your conscience.”
“Wretched girl, what did you say?!” The hooligan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his bad breath blew on Shen Yin’s face. “Then I’ll make you pay for my brothers’ lives!”
“Fourth Brother! Bad news! Someone’s here. You can’t kill her yet!” The man standing by the door suddenly closed the door and trembled nervously.
“Who’s there?” The hooligan held the knife in his hand and stuffed a rag into Shen Yin’s mouth. Then, he hid behind the door and closed his eyes to steady his breathing.
The noise outside the door was not obvious, but it was exceptionally clear in this office which was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Shen Yin suddenly blinked as if she had sensed something. Her intuition told her that the person who would suddenly appear to save her was Lian Jing.
