Chapter 369 Rescue (Part 1)
èèèèèEven though Pent had something to rely on in his heart, how could he dare to drink the wine handed to him by Gus at this time?
Not to mention whether there might be something wrong with the wine, Pent himself really wasn't in the mood to drink.
Gus was not angry. He poured himself a glass and then poured another glass for the mature man sitting in the room. He seemed to have anticipated Pent's reaction.
In fact, he had just decided to intercept Peng Te's goods on a whim. After hearing the news that Peng Te was selling the goods at a low price, he didn't take it seriously at first.
The main reason was that the funds for this operation were not sufficient, so he had no money at all.
Later, when one of his men suffered a drug addiction attack and he didn't have much drug left, Gus set his sights on Pent.
I originally thought that after the goods were intercepted by me, the other party would not dare to make a sound, but I didn't expect that the other party would come to my door directly.
Based on the results of his discussion with the mature man, they finally decided to temporarily return the goods to Pengte to stabilize the other party, but they must not let Pengte leave.
This place was a stronghold that the organization had purchased at a great price. If it was exposed, it might be possible to explain it, but they had other things to do and could not move at all, and they could not find a suitable place in a short time.
Who knows if Pent will leak their whereabouts after getting the goods?
The police have completely different attitudes when facing gangs and terrorists.
If someone reports a mafia stronghold, the police might investigate for a while before deciding whether to take action. However, in this situation, the level of attention and intensity of the crackdown on terrorists like these is far greater than in the previous case, so they cannot afford to take this matter lightly.
Gus poured the wine and shook the goblet. A strong aroma of wine immediately filled the room. It was intoxicating.
"I can return the goods to you," Gus said, "but you have to agree to one condition."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Pent's face lit up with joy, but when Gus finished speaking, Pent's brows furrowed. "What conditions?"
"You have to stay here for two days." Gus took a sip of his wine and continued, "That way I can ensure that the news doesn't leak out."
As soon as Gus finished speaking, Pent replied without hesitation: "That's impossible!"
Although Peng Te is far from being an extremely intelligent person, he is definitely not a stupid person.
Gus's request seemed to be more in line with cleaning, but how could he dare to stay in such a place for two days?
It can be imagined that the purpose of Gus and his party was naturally not to see the scenery in this place, and the two-day deadline mentioned by the other party must be related to their purpose this time.
When Gus achieves his goal and leaves here, what use will the other party's address be to him?
At that time, it would have been a piece of cake for the other party to deal with them.
"Don't rush to refuse. I suggest you think it over carefully." Gus smiled and said, "You know who I am. I won't give in on this condition. But I can guarantee your safety."
The word "bullshit" was on the tip of Pengte's tongue, but he swallowed it back.
If he might have believed the other party before because of their little friendship, he would definitely not believe what the other party said now.
But when it comes to having a conflict with Gus at this time, Pengte is really hesitant, so he turned his attention to Tang Shuo who followed him, wanting to hear his opinion. After all, the two of them are now in the same boat.
Tang Shuo thought about it for a moment, then slowly nodded to Peng Te.
His previous plan was to rush forward and kidnap Guts. Although he was confident that he could do this, the opponent he faced this time was somewhat different from the previous ones, so he could not follow the usual approach.
These guys are all extremely vicious terrorists who are capable of almost anything.
Although Guts seems to be the leader of this gang, who knows whether the other party's second-in-command will disregard Guts's life and directly order to deal with him?
He had finally managed to get in with Peng Te's help, so he had to be cautious with every step. This wasn't just his own life at stake; if this operation failed, Yu Haoran and the Monkeys might also be implicated.
"Are you Chinese?" Gus looked at Tang Shuo and asked.
Just after Pent brought his men in, Gus did not focus his attention on the two people behind Pent. Now, after following Pent's gaze, he noticed the abnormality of Tang Shuo's identity.
Gus himself has no good feelings towards the Chinese.
Three years ago, he planned a terrorist attack here, but it was foiled by two Chinese soldiers. If it weren't for his men desperately holding them back, he would have been reduced to a pile of bones by now.
And more importantly, his son died in the chaos at that time.
So this time the organization appointed him to plan a new attack. The first thing he did after arriving at the British Empire was to kidnap two Chinese people. Then he threatened the Chinese officials, hoping to attract the original team.
This matter has been progressing quite smoothly so far.
"Yeah." Tang Shuo nodded without comment.
Boom…Boom…Boom…
Gus narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Shuo. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Then a man in camouflage uniform opened the door and said directly, "That Chinese female reporter in room four is banging her head against the wall again!"
The mature man who had been silent all this time suddenly stood up from the sofa and immediately asked, "Is anyone okay?"
"I'm not sure," the camouflage man replied, "but it looks like the wound is very deep."
Gus gave up questioning Tang Shuo and turned to the mature man with a smile, saying, "Nick, it seems you still haven't convinced her. Just listen to my advice and use force. She's just a woman!"
Mature man Nick glared at Gus and immediately walked out.
The people around him made Tang Shuo feel relieved. The female reporter they were talking about was the hostage they had kidnapped in the beginning, and now it seemed that she had not been violated for the time being.
After Nick left, Gus said to Pent again, "Have you thought it through? If you agree to me, I can give you your goods right now, and you only need to stay here for two days."
"Okay." Peng Te nodded according to Tang Shuo's suggestion.
Gus smiled with satisfaction and said, "I believe we will get along very well."
"What about my men?" Pente asked aloud, "They are still up there."
"Send someone to tell them to leave!" Gus said, "But you must ensure that the news does not leak out."
There is no mobile phone signal here, so messages can usually only be delivered through people.
Tang Shuo had been thinking about how to go out and check, but he didn't expect the opportunity to fall directly on his head. After looking at Peng Te, he said, "I'll go and notify them."
"Okay." Pent agreed.
Gus's prejudice against Tang Shuo's identity still lingered, but he didn't show it. He frowned in dissatisfaction and said to the short-haired man standing at the door, "Take him upstairs."
The short-haired man agreed, glanced at Tang Shuo and said, "Follow me."
Tang Shuo nodded to Peng Te, then followed the short-haired man out.
"Is there anyone locked up here?" Tang Shuo asked as he passed by a locked room.
The short-haired man turned his head and glanced at Tang Shuo, saying coldly, "Don't ask if you shouldn't know."
Tang Shuo shrugged, indicating that he would not say anything.
As they turned the corner, Tang Shuo suddenly pulled out a dagger from his body, rushed forward, pressed it against the short-haired man's neck and said, "Don't make a sound."
When coming down, Tang Shuo carefully checked the terrain here and found that there was no one guarding this location.
The short-haired man had never expected Tang Shuo to suddenly attack him. He immediately stood still and asked, "What do you mean?"
