Chapter 76 Sang Lao Er Takes Zhi Zhi Hostage
One-Eyed didn't recognize the beautiful woman, but his intuition told him that, judging from her recent act of smashing the car...
She absolutely can do it.
"I...I'm not the main culprit. It was Sang Lao Er who suggested that I kidnap people. The grievances should be attributed to the perpetrators, and the debts should be settled with the perpetrators. Go find him, and I'm willing to return the child to you. Please let me go!"
One-Eyed's words were filled with fear.
But Ji Yining tilted her head and pressed down on him with undiminished force.
She had always dealt with men in Northeast China. Although dealing in scrap metal required quick thinking, she also needed to be physically capable, given the wind and rain.
Hearing this cowardly brat beg for mercy so quickly, Ji Yining felt utterly contemptuous of him.
She raised her hand and brought the hammer down, the iron hammer striking the one-eyed man precisely on the knee.
"ah--!!!"
Blood instantly gushed from the one-eyed man's intact eye, and his agonizing screams echoed almost the entire street.
Even Gan Su, who was hiding to the side, felt uncomfortable seeing this and turned his head away. He covered Zhi Zhi's eyes and whispered, "Don't look..."
'Beep-beep!'
Red and blue police lights flashed as one car after another roared in.
Gan Su held Zhi Zhi's hand and said, "Dad is here, let's go."
"good!"
Zhizhi breathed a slight sigh of relief and was about to stand up straight when she suddenly felt a rustling sound behind her.
The little cub's nerves tensed instantly. She didn't dare turn her head and shoved her older brother hard.
"Run!"
The moment Gan Su turned around, he met Sang Lao Er's bloodshot eyes.
He stretched out his long arm and held Zhizhi tightly in his arms.
"You wretched girl, you've turned my people against you, where do you think you're going now?"
Jiang Zhizhi struggled desperately, but Sang Lao Er already knew he wouldn't have a good ending, so he used all his strength to hold her neck tightly.
"Let her go! Let go!"
Jiang Gansu picked it up and turned to throw it at him, but Sang Lao Er reacted quickly and shielded the cub in front of him.
He grinned maliciously and asked, "Go ahead and smash it! If you've got the guts, smash it. Let's see if you hit me on the head first, or on her!"
Jiang Gansu's eyes widened, and he dared not throw the brick in his hand again.
Old Man Sang has a hostage in his hands, so he doesn't dare to gamble.
The leader frowned. "Let her go, and I'll be your hostage."
"Hmph! Do you think I'd believe the same lie a second time?"
Sang Lao Er dragged Zhi Zhi all the way to the street. Faced with dozens of cars surrounding and blocking their way, he simply decided to give up.
"If any of you dare to step forward, I'll kill her!"
He was holding a fruit knife, which he had taken from the one-eyed man's car.
I never expected it would come in so handy now.
Jiang Zhizhi was choked and couldn't breathe, so she spat at him fiercely.
"Sang Lao Er, having a father like you makes me feel disgusted..."
He abducted his own mother and forced his stepmother to marry him. He may seem like an honest and simple countryman, but in reality, bachelors like him are the most disgusting!
"Whose fault is this?" Sang Lao Er's face was contorted with rage, his tone strangely hateful. "Your mother was unlucky enough not to give me a son, and your stepmother is a gold digger. She wasn't content living with me, so she married a military officer. Sang Zhizhi, I'm your biological father! You have such a wealthy stepfather, yet you don't even think of me? You always side with outsiders..."
His smile held an insatiable glint. "Why don't we see if your loving stepfather is willing to sacrifice everything to save you if things really get serious?"
"Don't touch her!"
"Zhizhi!!!"
Sang Lao Er raised his voice warily, "Don't come any closer! Anyone who dares to come near will be in danger!"
Deng Qiu and Jiang Anchao abruptly stopped in their tracks.
Deng Qiu's eyes were swollen beyond recognition, and seeing her daughter being held hostage, she was in danger at any moment.
Her legs went weak. "I'll give you anything you want, just give me back Zhizhi!"
Jiang Anchao supported her, staring coldly at Sang Lao Er and threateningly said, "There are our people everywhere outside now. You can't escape. Why don't you talk to us about the bargaining chips!"
"Hmph! Why should I?"
Old Man Sang was filled with resentment, and the word "jealousy" was practically written all over his face.
"Why is it that my wife and daughter are getting better and better every day after marrying you, while my life is getting worse and worse? Jiang Anchao... So what if you're a soldier? You're just relying on your city residency to have a few more opportunities than me. If I were to join the army, I could also live such a good life. Besides, what are you pretending for? Zhizhi is my child! Who are you to play the benevolent father here?"
Jiang Anchao's forehead was already covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
He dared not provoke Sang Lao Er now. "Since you know you are her father, you shouldn't collude with outsiders to kidnap your daughter. You want money, right? I'll give it to you! Just name your price!"
"Dad! Don't listen to him!"
Zhizhi tried her best to speak; she didn't want to see her proud father bow down to such a wicked person.
My father's current life is the result of his own hard work.
Everyone has come from poverty.
If the bad father had worked hard in farming and earned work points, he could be living a comfortable life in Sangjiapo now.
He envies everyone who is better off than him, but he never tries to improve himself.
It would be truly unfair if people who lack ambition and only want to get rich through crooked means could live well.
"Shut up! Do you believe I'll kill you?!"
Sang Lao Er tightened his grip on her neck with a vicious sneer, a contemptuous snort escaping his nose.
"Commander Jiang, give me ten thousand yuan, and I'll release her, okay?"
He quoted an exorbitant price, and even the police officers present couldn't help but frown upon hearing it.
Is this person crazy?
Ten thousand yuan—even a state-owned factory in Suzhou might not be able to pay that much in a whole year.
He really dares to ask for such an exorbitant amount!
"So much money, you can't even withdraw it from the bank, Sang Lao Er... you!"
Jiang Anchao found it unbelievable, but when he saw his daughter's pale face from being pinched, he immediately reached out his hand in alarm, "No! No! Don't be impulsive!"
He was like an ant on a hot pan, racking his brains to figure out how to raise such a huge ransom.
Ji Yining rushed over at this moment, pointing at Sang Lao Er, "Do you know how much 10,000 is? You simply can't come up with that much money. How about this... I have 5,000 here. I'll give you the cash and have them let you go. Sang Lao Er, right? You're just after money. There's no need to make a mess of things and end up spending the rest of your life in jail. Just 5,000. Give me a straight answer if you think it's okay!"
With her joining, everyone felt like they finally had a pillar of support.
Ji Yining, having seen many big scenes, instantly grasped Sang Lao Er's weakness.
Without hesitation, she took her bag out of her car and took out all the cash from her wallet.
A wad of cash gleamed in her hand, and Sang Lao Er's eyes lit up when she took it out.
He also knew that ten thousand was impossible.
These days, five thousand yuan is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
'Gulp'... ...Sang Lao Er silently swallowed his saliva.
"You really want me to take this money and then let me go?"
Ji Yining raised his voice: "Of course!"
She winked at the police officers around her, signaling them to leave.
Just when everyone thought that Sang Lao Er would compromise, he suddenly grinned with a ruthless smile.
"Why should she be so important to you, worth so much money to protect her? Then I can't let her go even more. My dear daughter, you might as well die with your father!"
