Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Terrifying Experience at Reed Lake (3) Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Terrifying Experience at Reed Lake (3) Soon after, a group of people emerged from the rear of that vehicle.
The boy who had gone to send a message was bound and pushed out.
There were five of them in the group, all wearing masks and duckbill hats, dressed in black overalls.
There was no need to ask anything.
These were the robbers.
One of them held a weapon to Chen Hao’s temple.
Chen Hao was already pale with fear.
Trembling, he was pushed toward the obviously dazed crowd.
There were five men, with a total of two weapons.
They were some kind of strange-looking things.
“Chu Chengfeng, I’ll take care of three, and each of your family will handle one. Don’t worry, I won’t let them kill Chen Hao,” Gu Qiaoqiao said through clenched teeth, quickly shaking off the tremors in her heart.
This scene, only witnessed in movies and television, was now unfolding in reality before everyone.
Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian had a moment where their minds went blank.
But it was only for an instant.
They quickly regained their composure; they had been set up.
There was no time to wonder why this was happening, why anyone would dare to mess with them.
Chu Chengfeng and Du Tian gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement, “Fine, let’s take out these bastards.”
Without hesitating any further, Qiaoqiao raised her hand, revealing a small slingshot in her palm, but just then, a frightened scream from Mu Xinxin came from behind, along with a strange man’s stern voice, “Nobody move.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked back.
Gripping the slingshot in her palm tightly, she stared intently at the two men behind her.
They were dressed the same.
But instead of weapons, they held daggers gleaming coldly in their hands.
One grabbed each of the girls.
It was Mu Xinxin and An Xiaotong.
By the lake, there was a boat, clearly prepared in advance.
These people were well-trained and quick to act, definitely not ordinary robbers.
Moreover, they had the audacity to rob these children of the Imperial Capital.
The only explanation was, perhaps, these people were all going to die here.
But if that were the case, the Imperial Capital would surely be turned upside down.
Could these people, and whoever was behind them, really get away with it?
Gu Qiaoqiao’s palms were sweaty.
A man with a hoarse voice spoke up, “Put down your weapons, or we’ll kill all three women right now.”
“Who are you?” Chu Chengfeng frowned deeply, a flash of malevolent energy in his eyes. Damn it, was he really going to meet his end here?
“You’re not in a position to know. Just cooperate, put down your weapons, or I will stab her to death,” said the man in black, his dagger at the throat of An Xiaotong, who was white as a sheet, shivering all over.
Mu Xinxin cried out loud, “Chu Chengfeng, save me, Chu Chengfeng, save me…”
Du Tian’s face was just as pale. He looked at the knife at An Xiaotong’s throat and slowly put down the hunting rifle in his hands, speaking with a hoarse voice, “If you have something against us, let the women go… ”
The man in black was unmoved, instructing his accomplices, “Tie up all the men. I’ll take two women; you take three. Move quickly, we won’t be able to keep the roadblock up for much longer.”
Qiaoqiao felt a chill in her heart.
Their target was clear: the five girls.
And they were splitting up to take them away.
Once separated, it would not be easy to find people again.
There were only four boys here, and one was already too unsteady to stand.
The remaining were only three who could fight.
But the opposition had seven men, a truck, and apparently, a motorboat as well.
