Chapter 121 Hijacked

121

Tang Yue looked at the things in her hands and saw that it was still early. She really wanted to stuff all of them into the space, but with her mother watching, it was not very convenient for her to do so.

Just then, a man carrying a basket came over outside the department store. Tang Yue let go of Lin Cuicui's hand and walked forward.

"Hello, uncle, are you selling this backpack?"

The old man carrying the backpack looked at the little girl in front of him and said to him, "Girl, this backpack can be made by everyone. It's not worth much. I need it to carry things."

Tang Yue nodded, "Uncle, are you selling it? One dollar."

The old man carrying the basket widened his eyes. Just one dollar for a basket? How is this different from robbery? He had just finished waving his hand when Tang Yue took out a dollar and handed it to him.

Lin Cuicui, who had followed, saw this and tried to stop him, but Tang Yue had already stuffed a dollar into the old man's pocket.

The old man wanted to refuse but couldn't say the words, after all, it was just one dollar. He immediately put down the backpack, took out the things in it, and handed the empty basket to Tang Yue.

"Girl, I've taken the money and given you this backpack. I can't go back on my word."

Tang Yue smiled and said, "Once you buy it, it's mine. No regrets."

Lin Cuicui was so regretful. She had originally thought that carrying a large backpack would not look good when shopping in Border Town today, but they didn't bring any. Now her best friend had bought one from someone else for just one dollar. How could she feel happy about this?

What Lin Cuicui regretted most now was that she had given all the money to Tang Yue. "Daughter, you should give the money to Mom."

She thought that with her daughter's extravagant spending, would she not be able to get back a single cent of the money she gave her today?

"Mom, you're pregnant now, so you can't carry anything heavy. Come on! Put everything in the backpack and I'll carry it."

How could Lin Cuicui agree? "No! You're just a little kid. What if you get crushed carrying so many things? You won't grow taller."

Tang Yue felt a little uncomfortable when she heard about the height issue, but she still insisted on taking all the bags from Lin Cuicui and putting them into the backpack. The cloth on top covered the things below tightly.

The things below had been stored in the space by Tang Yue. Only the top layer of cloth remained in the basket on her back, with the middle area supported by the hammer.

"Mom, it's still early. Let's go to the meat processing plant. I heard they sell meat there."

"Oh, why buy meat? We still have some wild boar meat left. Mom will cook it for you when we get home."

Tang Yue...

She really doesn't want to eat wild boar meat, okay?

"Mom, we haven't had fresh pork in a long time. Domestic pork tastes nothing like wild boar pork. Let's go buy some and try it."

Lin Cuicui couldn't persuade Tang Yue, so she could only hold Tang Yue's hand and prepare to ask a few passers-by to go to the meat processing plant.

The two had just walked out of the department store and not far away when a wedding procession came over from afar, beating gongs and drums, making it very lively.

"Oh my, there are still weddings that are so lively these days. This must not be an ordinary family."

Tang Yue ignored Lin Cuicui's sigh and continued walking forward. After a few steps, they heard a noisy sound coming from the crowd ahead.

"Oh my, this family is so generous. They started throwing out wedding candy right from the street. How much candy did they throw?"

"Why do you care how much people spill? Go pick it up quickly. If others pick it up soon, how will you get it?"

"Oh, my grandson hasn't had candy in a long time. I have to go quickly."

Lin Cuicui also heard the discussions of the people around her, "Yueyue, let's go and take a look. I heard they are distributing wedding candies."

Tang Yue didn't want to go. "Mom, didn't we just buy two kilograms of White Rabbit? These are enough. Let's not go."

Lin Cuicui held Tang Yue's hand tightly and walked forward.

What belongs to you is yours, how can it be the same as something you picked up for free?

Tang Yue looked at the group of people walking towards them. In front were a few men throwing wedding candies. In the middle was an ox cart with four people sitting on it: a newlywed couple and two middle-aged women. Behind them were eight people, all of whom were still strong men.

She thought this combination was a bit weird. The men were throwing wedding candies as they walked. Although they only threw one or two pieces each time, it caused a commotion among the people around them.

Many people rushed over here just to pick up the few pieces of candy on the ground.

Tang Yue pulled back, holding Lin Cuicui's hand, not wanting to go any further. There were too many people, all huddled together to pick up candy. She and Lin Cuicui were both vulnerable. If they went forward, they might get knocked over, or even hurt her mother.

"Hey, Yueyue, what are you doing? Hurry up and squeeze forward. If you don't squeeze forward, how can you pick up the candy?"

"Mom, we can't go any further."

Tang Yue's expression was serious. Lin Cuicui looked at her daughter's face and slowly calmed down. Although she was a little unwilling, Lin Cuicui still trusted her daughter. It's just a few pieces of candy. If she doesn't want to pick it up, then don't pick it up.

The two of them didn't move forward, but the crowd continued to press towards them. The reason was that the men leading the group had thrown some candies towards them.

Tang Yue fell silent as she watched the White Rabbit milk candy fall in front of her toes with a "plop".

Holding Lin Cuicui's hand, they were about to retreat, but someone bumped into them from behind, and her mother and she were immediately surrounded by the crowd.

Lin Cuicui panicked. Tang Yue was small, and even though she tried to protect Lin Cuicui, she could only protect the area below her belly. The upper part of her body was completely covered.

At this time, the men in the wedding procession who were just handing out candies with a smile each drew a gun from their waist. The leading man fired a shot into the sky, and the crowd that was crowded around picking up candies suddenly exploded.

There were constant screams, and some people were so scared that they covered their ears and squatted on the ground crying loudly.

"Don't move, I'll kill anyone who moves."

Many people stopped dead in their tracks, not daring to move an inch. Tang Yue held Lin Cuicui's hand tightly, standing in the crowd, not daring to move.

The crowd was too dense now. She wanted to protect her mother, but she also didn't want to implicate innocent people. She could only hold her ground for the time being.

The men quickly surrounded the group of people who were grabbing the candy, and someone in the distance had already run to the police station to report the case.

The police station rushed over after hearing the gunshots.

These people pointed their guns at a group of hostages and showed no intention of escaping. When the police came over, they pointed their guns at them and said, "Let these people go. I can let you go first."

"Haha, I didn't come here today to leave.

"Where's Zeng Chen? Let Zeng Chen out. And release our people as well. He knows who it is, contact him quickly."

The leading policeman knew who Zeng Chen was, but he didn't expect these people were coming for Young Master Zeng.

"The Zeng Chen you're talking about should be in the army on South Island. South Island is so far away from here, it's impossible for him to get here in a short time."

"Don't you give me that crap? Don't you have planes in the army? Have Zeng Chen bring my men here by plane. If he doesn't show up in half an hour, I'll execute one person every five minutes. I mean what I say."

The leading policeman saw that the robbers had no room for negotiation and there were too many hostages being held here and no way to rescue them all. He could only obey the robbers' demands and quickly call the army.

Lin Cuicui's hand was shaking as she held Tang Yue's. Her family had encountered spies several times. She had heard gunshots several times, but her daughter had always dealt with them. She had never faced such a direct kidnapping situation before.

She was so scared that her legs went weak. If they weren't in a crowd, she would have wanted to urinate and defecate anywhere.

Tang Yue held Lin Cuicui's hand with a little force. She looked down at her daughter's determined eyes and stood up in an instant.

She couldn't give in, nor could she continue to be afraid. She still had a daughter to protect, and seeing that there was no fear in her daughter's eyes, how could she, as a mother, not be able to catch up with her own daughter?

Lin Cuicui forced herself to calm down, and her emotions gradually calmed down. Tang Yue felt a little relieved when she saw her. Now she was in the mood to take in the surrounding situation.

There were 17 gangsters in total, including three women.

What kind of wedding party is that? It's clearly a gang of gangsters.

Tang Yue doesn't care about others, she must first ensure Lin Cuicui's safety.

Judging by her eyes, the nearest armed robber was less than 2 meters away. If she were alone, it would be easy to go over and subdue the robber. But what about her mother? Just when Tang Yue was struggling.
