The Wen family before 3:03 am!

Because the thugs issued the final notice to pay the ransom, even though the military said they had deployed troops in the thugs' hiding place, the Wen family did not dare to relax at all.

Secretary Cao sat in front of the computer provided by the military. His back was unnaturally straight, as if stretched into a thread. His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. His breathing was unnaturally held. His fingers kept tapping on the keyboard. Because of the tension, his fingers were stiff and even a little inflexible. They were now at the checkpoint to pay the ransom.

We must delay until the last second to buy the last time for the military.

Mr. Wen and Mr. Mo stood behind him, their tense bodies not much better than his.

The atmosphere in the entire Wen family became solemn and tense.

Mr. Wen said, "There are still two minutes and thirty-eight seconds left to pay the ransom."

These two minutes and thirty-eight seconds represent Xinya's chance of survival. Now there is no news from the military, and Xinya's life is threatened every minute and every second.

Mr. Mo held his breath unnaturally, his cloudy eyes staring at the watch on his wrist: "Two minutes and twenty-two seconds left."

For the first time, he deeply felt that time flies like an arrow and flows like water. Every tick of the stopwatch seemed to beat on his heart in a thrilling and thrilling manner.

Xiao Huang said, "Mr. Mo, Mr. Wen, don't be nervous. Captain Xu's rescue team has been deployed. They are trying to rescue Miss Wen. When Captain Xu was in the northwest, he participated in several hostage rescue missions and has a lot of experience in this."

Although Xiao Huang said this, Grandpa Mo and Grandpa Wen were still not relieved.

It was 3:03 in the morning, and there were exactly two minutes left before the ransom was due.

"Ah... My stomach hurts..." At this moment, a hoarse howl suddenly broke the silence in the room, like a torn silk, making a piercing sound.

Secretary Cao was already tense, and because of the sudden shrill sound, his brain and body felt like a broken string. His fingers trembled, and then the green words "Transaction in Progress" appeared on the screen!

His mind went blank and he immediately started typing frantically on the keyboard, trying to cancel the transaction!

He knew the consequences of his operational error!

Perhaps, because of his operational mistake, the thugs killed him directly because they received the ransom in advance.

"Ahh... It hurts so much..." Wen Haowen held his stomach and rolled on the ground. His screams became louder and louder, completely driving away the tense and solemn atmosphere in the room.

Everyone's attention was inevitably shifted to him.

Wen Xinya was kidnapped and now there is no hope for her to survive. How could he let go of such a good opportunity? The most urgent task is to cut off Wen Xinya's last chance of survival.

Disrupting the morale of the army is naturally the best way.

Secretary Cao's fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, beads of sweat kept rolling down. He didn't care if they didn't fall on the keyboard. His five fingers were moving flexibly and with high intensity, he almost felt that his fingers were not his own.

“Transaction has been successful”

Secretary Cao tapped his hands on the keyboard dejectedly, and heard a dull and chaotic sound. He leaned back against the chair weakly and said, "Old man, I am ashamed of your trust."

The hoarse and dry voice pulled Mr. Wen back to his original position. He turned around and saw the huge blood-red fonts on the computer. The words "transaction successful" instantly blinded his eyes.

Mr. Mo's eyes almost burst out as he stared at the time line displayed below the words "The transaction was successful": 03:01:55 on XX month of XX year!

Two minutes early!

It was two minutes ahead of schedule to pay the ransom.

Xiao Huang couldn't help but get furious and quickly gave an order: "Immediately report the situation here to your superiors and Captain Xu."

The group of military personnel were so angry that they wanted to curse, but they still fought against time to stick to their mission responsibilities.

Xiao Huang took a breath and bombarded Secretary Cao with a sullen face: "What are you doing? If you want to kill the hostage, you don't use this method. You are not so naive to think that the other party will release the hostage after receiving the ransom!"

Secretary Cao was speechless. He had not expected things to turn out like this.

Both Grandpa Mo and Grandpa Wen were trembling dejectedly, their minds were blank and they dared not think of anything.

Xiao Huang said angrily, "Do you know that the people who kidnapped Wen Xinya are thugs, extremists who kill without blinking an eye? Once they get the ransom, they will kill and murder you. Two minutes, two full minutes... Time is life. Our military is fighting against time on the front line, fighting wits and courage with the thugs, but you... just move your fingers and kill us all. Now the safety of the hostages cannot be guaranteed!"

Mr. Wen suddenly rushed forward and kicked Wen Haowen in the stomach: "You evil son, you heartless thing, how could I have a son like you who is so heartless and ungrateful? You are simply a dog thing worse than an animal..."

Old Master Wen vented all his anger on Wen Haowen, kicking him hard and hard, causing him to roll on the ground. "Dad, it was Secretary Cao who made the mistake, it has nothing to do with me!"

How could Mr. Wen not listen any longer? His old face was filled with ferocious anger. "I kicked you so hard now, why don't you scream? Why don't you feel any pain? You bastard who betrayed my parents."

Wen Haowen's face was twisted and distorted in pain. He didn't expect the old man to do such a brutal thing to him just for Wen Ya: "Dad, I'm sorry... I was wrong. I just couldn't help it because it hurt so much. Please forgive me!"

The old man didn't even have any fatherly affection for him.

Old Master Wen kicked Wen Haowen in the stomach: "Do you think that if Xinya dies, everything in the Wen family will be yours? Let me tell you... Even if the Wen family is extinct, I will not hand over the Wen Group to a bastard like you who has lost all conscience and is worse than an animal."

Wen Haowen was completely panicked now. He didn't expect that his behavior would completely anger the old man. He quickly said, "Dad... I'm sorry, it's my fault. Don't get excited. The military is still actively rescuing Xinya. There is no news yet. Maybe Xinya will be rescued soon?"

3:05 am!

At this time, Xiao Huang said: "It has been confirmed that the hostages are safe. The thugs are currently holding the hostages and confronting us!"

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they became worried. The thugs now regarded the hostages in their hands as a life-saving talisman and would not easily compromise and let go of them.

Xinya's situation is more dangerous than before.
