Chapter 743: Chapter 740
Lu Xiao’s hand clutching the steering wheel was squeezed tight, and he gritted his teeth saying,
“Taking a woman hostage, what kind of man are you! If you have the guts, release them, and do as you please with me.”
The violent man sitting in the passenger seat curled his lips slightly, “Captain Lu, what’s the rush, the best is yet to come.”
The hostage situation had all happened too quickly and was unexpected by everyone. Despite all the thorough precautions, it still went awry…!
And while that car was on its way to the location of the hostages, at an abandoned car warehouse in a Beijing suburb.
The driver who had been driving was now kneeling on the ground with both legs, with a foreign mercenary man standing behind him, holding a gun to his head, and the injured bodyguard was also taken hostage.
However, the most crucial person was still inside the black sedan.
At that moment, she was surrounded by seven or eight tall and hefty men, guns aimed at the car.
It seemed as if a single move from them would result in the car and its occupants being riddled with bullets like a hornet’s nest.
Inside the car sat two slender figures.
One of them, a woman with long hair, had a slightly pale complexion but still a calm and composed demeanor, while the girl with short hair beside her had icy-cold hands and feet, and her big eyes sparkled with moist glimmers.
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law…”
Li Zaijun clenched her hand. Seeing the people outside with guns, her eyes began to redden slightly, her voice somewhat choked up.
She was scared. After realizing that the car’s route had deviated, it was already too late.
The cars following them had been flipped by bombs planted at the roadside, with raging flames; she didn’t know how many would die or be injured.
Witnessing such a scene for the first time had profoundly shocked her, both physically and mentally.
Yet even more frightening was the realization that they had been kidnapped.
But what Li Zaijun feared most was her sister-in-law getting hurt, worried that something might happen to Wen Xian.
You see, she was carrying twins in her abdomen. She bore three lives on her.
If something untoward happened, her brother would surely go mad.
Wen Xian, sensing her nervousness, took her hand to comfort her, “Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, it’s all right, your brother and the others will come.”
Though she said that, Wen Xian’s heart was even more tangled, complicated, and filled with… dense worry.
No matter whether she wanted Lu Xiao to come or not, Lu Xiao would come. And what would he face after his arrival?
Their motives were clear: kidnapping them was to gain control over Lu Xiao.
Wen Xian didn’t dare to think further, her heart involuntarily contracting, twisting tightly, her eyes growing hot and feverish.
She was scared, scared that Lu Xiao would stumble, would fall under someone’s control.
Her emotions were on the brink of uncontrollable collapse, yet she could only suppress them fiercely because Little Zaijun was already so helpless, and she too was on the verge of breaking down. At this moment, she had become somewhat of a pillar of support for her.
She absolutely could not let her see her own weakness.
To instill hope in her and believe that they would all be okay.
Wen Xian knew that the likelihood of this was very small…
Time ticked away bit by agonizing bit, with every minute and every second feeling torturously long.
Yet, no matter how excruciating, the final judgement would still inevitably arrive.
Even if that judgement was unspeakably cruel.
Unwilling to face it, yet invariably having to face it…!
