Taking advantage of a gap when the thug was conversing with Chen Feng, Lin Mu’s eyes quickly flashed with a silver-grey light, shooting into the mind of the man in stockings. At a glance, it was even stranger, for there was not a trace of threatening murderous intent inside that man’s mind!
This was truly bizarre. No matter how one looked at it, as long as they agreed to release Xiong Xiaoxiao and her mother, Lin Mu had the confidence to ensure the safety of himself and Xiong Xiaoxiao’s mother and daughter. As for Chen Feng, the Eldest Young Master Chen, his family had so much money, the thugs probably wouldn’t easily kill this cash cow, right?
"Alright... I’m willing..."
Lin Mu stepped forward, raising his hand to show he wasn’t resisting, "You release the Xiong family’s mother and daughter, I’ll go with you!"
"Alright, kid, you have guts..."
Seeing that he was about to lose to Lin Mu, Chen Feng anxiously rushed forward,
"Wait, how about we change the terms, okay?"
Of course, Chen Feng didn’t want to lose an arm or a leg, but neither did he want to lose this chance to be the hero saving the damsel, so he still wanted to solve it with money!
"Boss, let’s talk about the price... a bit lower, don’t say thirty billion fifty billion, who can pull out that much money at once..."
"Damn, you punk still pretending to be rich, weren’t you just saying you’d agree to any condition as long as they release those two? Well, don’t say I’m not giving you a chance, if you can co up with thirty billion, we’ll let them go, otherwise, hehe, you know what,"
The man in black stared at Chen Feng, who could only lant his poverty, "Thirty billion is really too expensive, could you lower it a bit, just a bit more..."
"Damn, do you really have no money? Or are you just unwilling? This is a matter of life and death, how can it be asured with money? If you truly have money, just be straightforward, don’t dawdle, if you’re still pretending to be rich, get lost!"
"You..."
Chen Feng wanted to say more, but Lin Mu stepped forward and blocked him, "If you’re unwilling to spend money, just step aside, talking more is useless, otherwise you might anger the thugs and put the hostages in danger!"
Chen Feng reluctantly retreated, and Lin Mu stood among the thugs, fearlessly looking at the coldly gleaming machetes, and said undaunted,
"Alright, do as you said, I’ll take the place of those two won as a hostage, do whatever you want to , as long as you keep your promise and release the two won of the Xiong family!"
"Okay, you’ve got guts!"
The man in stockings placed the knife across Lin Mu’s neck, then gestured for the guy behind Xiong Xiaoxiao to prepare to release her. That man reached out and pulled the cloth from Xiong Xiaoxiao’s mouth, but she struggled, unwilling to be released,
"You, don’t, just kill and let Brother Lin go, he has nothing to do with my family..."
These two, one is sacrificing to save others, the other doesn’t want to be saved, made the thugs feel a bit troubled.
So the man in stockings turned to Chen Feng hiding in the corner and shouted, "Hey you, co over!"
Chen Feng trembled and could only brace himself to walk over, "Boss, what’s up?"
"Look at those two, one wants to save others, the other doesn’t appreciate it, making very embarrassed, why don’t you co, didn’t you just say you’re the son-in-law of the Xiong family..."
"Uh..."
Chen Feng was instantly chilled to the bone and broke out in cold sweat, "Boss, we... haven’t even got an engagent... it was just promised by the parents... besides, there’s no relationship... um, I’m willing to pay a ransom, ten billion, how’s that? I’m willing to pay ten billion..."
"Tsk, coward!"
The man in stockings spat at Chen Feng, then waved, and two more n in stockings walked over, pressing their knives against Lin Mu’s neck.
"Release the two of them first!"
Despite having four knives at his neck, Lin Mu remained calm and composed, showing no fear on his face. On the other side, Chen Feng stood trembling, not moving at all, probably shocked stiff, so Lin Mu could only loudly order him,
"Chen Feng, go untie Xiaoxiao and Auntie, take them away first!"
"Alright..."
Chen Feng snapped out of it as if waking from a dream, trembling hands helping the Xiong family’s mother and daughter untie the ropes.
"No... no... let go..."
Xiaoxiao still refused, because in her eyes, as long as she walked away safely, Lin Mu would inevitably face death!
In fact, she had it entirely wrong; Lin Mu intended to let their mother and daughter escape the thugs’ control first. Once they safely got away, Lin Mu could absolutely guarantee his own safety. As a Special Forces King from the North African Grassland, an absolute ruler in the rcenary world, and a fighting genius from the Hunter Training Base, how could he be threatened by a few ordinary thugs, even unard, he had full confidence to handle these fully ard opponents!
"Xiaoxiao, Auntie, leave quickly!" Lin Mu shouted at the three of them,
"No, I’m not leaving... I want to stay with you..."
Sure enough, Xiong Xiaoxiao’s mind wasn’t working; at this mont, she was just moved, just thinking of staying alive or dead with Lin Mu, without considering her own safe escape!
"Don’t kill him, he has nothing to do with my family, you should kill instead..."
Lin Mu felt a headache, damn girl, I told you to go, just go, if you don’t leave, I’m hesitant, fearing the thugs might hurt you. If it were just alone, Lin Mu was confident to take on ten and remain undefeated!
Yet hearing Xiong Xiaoxiao’s warm words, Lin Mu felt a burst of comfort in his heart, after all, his care for her wasn’t in vain.
"Silly girl, hurry and leave!" Lin Mu urged,
"Sob... I won’t leave... sob..."
As the two were deadlocked, suddenly a laugh ca from the doorway, everyone turned around in unison, surprisingly it was Xiong Jian who appeared.
"Haha, oh dear, you stubborn girl!"
Then he shouted to those n in stockings, "You guys stop pretending as well, reveal your true selves quickly!"
The n in stockings grinned and then took off the stockings on their heads, removing their black clothes to reveal the camouflage uniforms underneath, it turned out they were all Special Forces from the South China Military Region!
No wonder this kidnapping felt strange to Lin Mu, it was all a play orchestrated by Xiong Jian. Lin Mu and Xiong Xiaoxiao were just acting, and now it had turned into a play within a play! The Xiong siblings really were playful, naturally inclined to drama!
"Brother, what are you doing!" Tears glistening in her eyes, Xiong Xiaoxiao stepped forward and punched Xiong Jian.
"Haha, I’m doing this for your good, you have two suitors, making it difficult for everyone, so brother discreetly ca up with this idea to help you test who would stand up for you at your most critical mont!"
"But you should’ve told and Mom first, leaving us worried sick the whole way! Really annoying!"
