Chapter 178: The Arrogant Kidnappers
As soon as the man in the passenger seat spoke, Ye Jian realized that he was the man who was pushing the dining cart out of the elevator the other day. He was one of the criminal suspects being hunted by the International Police.
“Yes, things are a bit messy, but lucky for us, they are just two students. Yes, right, we should stick to our original plan. I don’t want to wait any longer. Just leave the rest to Red Scorpion to worry about. Ha-ha!” The man bluntly spoke out in English, not even slightly concerned that the two students might understand what he had said.
Ye Jian’s eyes darkened. The man was so unconcerned, indicating that he was certain the two students would not leak his words to another soul.
Because the dead won’t talk!
Indeed, she was undaunted. In her past life, due to the hardships Ye Ying inflicted upon her, her heart had grew as strong and tough as a rock. She only knew survival, not fear.
At this very moment in her current life, Ye Jian appreciated what Ye Ying had done to her in her past life, shaping her into who she is today.
She had nothing to fear.
A pair of slender and cold hands soundlessly grabbed Ye Jian’s hands. Subconsciously, Ye Jian wanted to shake them off. Instead, the cold hands held on even tighter that she could feel the sweaty palms on the back of her hands.
“It’s not money that they want,” said Gao Yiyang. Even in a muffled voice, Ye Jian could sense the trembling in his voice.
The 15-year-old boy became scared despite how calm he tried to be, because he too, now understood why the man talking on the phone was so unscrupulous.
Ye Jian sighed in her heart and stopped pulling her hands away.
She did have problems with him in school, only because he accused her of upsetting Ye Ying so much that Ye Ying had to be hospitalized. Later on, though they had some more misunderstandings, he had still apologized when he realized it was Ye Ying who played the tricks.
Considering these aspects, Gao Yiyang was at least a boy who could tell right from wrong.
“Congratulations, your speculation is correct. All we can do is wait for the right timing,” said Ye Jian very lightly. Sighing, she slowly pulled away her hands, as she found it uncomfortable being held by others. “Let’s see where they are taking us. At least we are not in danger right now.”
The man said they would stick to their plan, which meant that the deal was going on as usual. Prior to closing the deal, no clever men would want any complications, such as killing two candidates participating in the Science Olympiad in Australia.
With everyone in Australia focused on the Science Olympiad, no matter how arrogant the criminals were, they would not murder the students while conducting their filthy business in private.
Money was their priority while the two lives in their hands were easily disposable at any time.
Gao Yiyang tightened his lips into a straight line. He sensed that this kidnap had something to do with the Vietnamese boy earlier. If this was the case, then he had implicated Ye Jian in this.
He glanced at Ye Jian, whose countenance was covered by her long hair, and could not make out her current thoughts.
The only thing he knew was that Ye Jian was not frightened at all. The moment she pulled away her hands without hesitation, he knew that she didn’t need his consolation.
Ye Jian’s behaviors were new to Gao Yiyang, who had just realized how calm she was.
The night was dark as usual. It didn’t change because of anyone or anything. While Director Li was waiting anxiously back at the hotel, Gao Yiyang was pushed off the car.
