The moment I heard the sound, I understood what was happening behind me. I immediately raised my hands slowly and stood there motionless!
Because I know that there is someone standing behind me, pointing a gun at my head!
It was obvious that this person came out of the office behind me, and although he just spoke, I had no impression of his voice at all. This person should be a stranger.
"Yes, that's good! Throw away the dagger in your hand and turn around slowly."
When the man behind me was talking, I heard the gun that was close to my head had been loaded. I swallowed softly, loosened my grip and dropped the dagger in my hand, then slowly turned around little by little, and finally saw the scene behind me clearly.
I saw a burly black foreigner with muscular body standing behind me, staring at me with a smug smile on his face. He has dark skin and is wearing black clothes. No wonder he was able to capture Xiao Chen without me noticing.
However, in the office behind this foreigner, the door of the office had been opened, and I saw Lin Yingxue and Xiao Chen who were tied up and gagged. Xiao Chen was looking at the ground with a decadent expression on his face, as if he had lost all hope in life, while Lin Yingxue kept winking at me. I understood what she meant. She was blaming me for not running away and coming to find her.
Now that Lin Yingxue is fine, I can finally let go of the worry in my heart. Although this foreigner has a gun pointed at my head, I feel an indescribable sense of relief in my heart.
"You are Ji Wen, right? I thought you were difficult to deal with, but it turns out you are just a young boy with barely grown hair."
The man had a foreign face, but he could speak fluent Mandarin, just like the anchor of the news broadcast. This huge contrast made me unable to recover for a while, but then I said calmly, "Is he from the Joker Group?"
There are only two groups of people who want to kill me now, one is the God Organization, and the other is the culprit of the case we cracked in Dengfeng City last time, the Clown Group. Obviously, this person is not from the God Organization, otherwise, he would not want to kill me so blatantly. If Qiongqi wanted to kill me before, I would have died many times. So, this foreigner in front of me must be from the Clown Group!
The last time we caught David, the last time I saw him he said the Joker gang would not let me go. I knew this day would come, but who knew it would come so soon, and under this background.
"You still have some brains. No wonder that idiot David fell into your hands. Since you have guessed my identity, you must know what I am here for, right?"
At this moment, I didn't feel panic at all. I became very calm. Even the bombs that threatened our lives all the time seemed unimportant at this moment. I thought quickly about how to deal with the foreigner in front of me, and then said, "Kill me? Now that I have fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say, but I want to ask you, did you plant the bomb here?"
"Of course not. If we want to kill you, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Aren't you already in my hands now?"
"You guys? Are you not the only one coming in? How many of you came this time?"
The foreigner snorted coldly, "You are about to die, why do you still want to know so many things? Are you trying to delay time on purpose, waiting for the bomb here to explode and kill me together? Do you think I am that stupid?"
I sneered as well, "Since you know that we will all die if the bomb explodes here, why did you come in? Aren't you afraid of being killed?"
The foreigner did not answer me directly, but grabbed my collar and dragged me into the office behind him. After I entered the office, I didn't care about the gun in his hand, and immediately stood in front of Lin Yingxue, staring at him calmly. I knew that if I showed panic now, my death would only get faster and faster.
"Since I dare to come in, I must have my reasons. First of all, you took the blueprint from David last time, which made our boss very unhappy. He offered a high price for your head. For this money, it is worth taking a risk."
"Besides, you are afraid of the bombs here, but I am not afraid at all. My brother is already looking for the person who controlled the bomb. I believe he has caught him now. Besides, if it really doesn't work, I can also climb down from the top floor through the window. This is not difficult for me at all. Do you think I need to be afraid?"
The foreigner had a smug expression on his face from beginning to end, and I sneered, "Has your brother caught the person who controlled the bomb? I don't think that's possible. If he really had, we would have been finished long ago! Don't you have any common sense about bombs? The bombs placed here are all remote-controlled bombs. The person who controls the bombs must have placed the remote control as close to his hand as possible. Even if your brother launches a sneak attack, that person will definitely have enough time to press the button, and then we will all be destroyed together!"
When I said this, the foreigner's face looked a little unnatural, so I continued, "The person who controlled the bomb set it to explode at one o'clock. Now there are still ten minutes left before the detonation. Do you think these ten minutes are enough for you to jump out of the window here and escape?"
The smile on the foreigner's face completely disappeared at this time. He looked at me solemnly and said, "It seems that time is really tight. I was planning to play with you for a while, but now it seems that I don't have the time. Since you are so anxious to commit suicide, I will grant your wish!"
The foreigner said, pointing his gun at my head again. At the same time, I felt Lin Yingxue's body behind me become extremely stiff and tremble violently. But I didn't look nervous at all. I said calmly, "Are you satisfied with just the money from the bounty on my head?"
Hearing what I said, the foreigner was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? The reward for your head is an astronomical figure. If we take your head back, it will be enough for us two brothers to spend for more than ten years."
This foreigner was full of brawn, and he accidentally revealed the exact number of people in the Clown Group in the newspaper building at the moment. I continued, "Since you know your boss is offering a bounty on me, and you were sent by your boss to kill me, it proves that you two brothers have a good position in the Clown Group. So you should also know that your Clown Group has always coveted something from our house and has tried to take it away many times, but never got it, right?"
The foreigner's eyes widened instantly after hearing this, and he immediately put away the gun in his hand and said, "You mean, you have a way to get the things in your father's hands?"
"What do you think? You should know better than me how powerful my dad is. If you take action, my dad will definitely be on guard, but if I take action, he will definitely not be on guard, so my chance of getting that thing is much greater than yours! If I use that thing in exchange for my life, I wonder if this deal is a good deal for you?"
Although the foreigner in front of me didn't say anything, his eyes began to hesitate. I saw that this matter was possible, so I continued, "If you take the thing in my father's hand to see your boss, how do you think your boss will treat you? I believe you will definitely get much more than if you take my head to see your boss, and not only money, I am afraid that by then, your position in the Joker Group will be completely different! Power and money, I don't believe you won't be tempted."
The foreigner's eyes were struggling more and more. It was obvious that the suggestion I made just hit the most vulnerable part of his heart, which was greed! This kind of greedy person values profit the most. If I exchange the profit I bring to him for a greater profit, I believe he is 90% sure to agree to my proposal!
Sure enough, after a ten-second mental struggle, the foreigner slowly lowered the gun that was pointed at me, looked at me fiercely and said, "How do I know whether what you said is true or false? Are you deliberately stalling for time, waiting for someone to come and rescue you?"
I rolled my eyes at him helplessly and said, "Excuse me, in this situation, who will come to save me? Besides, our lives are threatened by the bomb now. If I delay, won't I be courting death? I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the bomb explodes and I die, you will regret it!"
The louder I spoke, the more I spoke, almost to the point of threatening the foreigner. Now I had a heavy weight in my hand, so I was not worried at all that he would get angry and kill me.
The foreigner sighed slightly, looked up at me and said, "If you win, I won't kill you yet. As long as you can get the things in your father's hand in exchange for me, then I can promise to let you go, and our Clown Group will never bother you again from now on! But what should you do now? I can climb over the wall by myself, but I may not be able to get out with you. You'd better find a way to leave here quickly."
"Of course I have a way to stop the bomb from exploding, and I will leave with you afterwards, but I have one condition, and you must agree to it. Otherwise, I don't mind getting burned together with you!"
The foreigner snorted coldly: "Say it, as long as it's not too much."
"The woman behind me is my lover. After the bomb crisis is resolved, I hope you can release her and other innocent people. If she is harmed in any way during this period, I will die in front of you and you will get nothing!"
