The person standing on the roof of the warehouse looked around, and what he had just said sent chills down our spines.
"How did he know we were coming?" Li Jiaming asked, puzzled.
I was also puzzled, staring at the other person, wondering how they knew we were here. We had parked the car in a very secluded spot, and we had been on high alert all the way here, but we hadn't noticed anyone around us.
At this moment, the other party said again, "I know you're nearby. Even if you don't come out, I know you're watching me right now, wondering whether to shoot me. But before you shoot, I want to give you a piece of advice: once you shoot, whether I live or die, that little girl we caught will die!"
Upon hearing this, I widened my eyes.
Jingjie and the others were also very surprised.
"So you'd better think it over carefully, and whatever you do, don't fire." The person speaking kept looking around.
We stared at him.
Sister Jing said, "He just said the little girl is in their hands?"
“That should be right. Since he said that, the little girl should be in their hands,” I said.
To be honest, I was relieved. Although the little girl was in their hands, she was still alive!
Li Jiaming then asked, "I don't understand, how did he know we were here?"
Hearing his words, I was also puzzled. We hadn't revealed any of our whereabouts, so how did the other side know we were here?
“He doesn’t know!” Zhou Qingya said at this moment.
I asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Qingya explained, "I think he probably doesn't know if we've really come here. When he was talking just now, his eyes kept looking around, clearly looking for us. And if they were sure we were around, they would have sent people out to surround us long ago, and wouldn't have said these things to threaten us."
Hearing this, I frowned and said, "But he actually knows we're here, he just isn't sure where we are!"
Zhou Qingya nodded, "Yes, that's what I meant."
I sneered and said, "If he knew, then things would be quite obvious."
Li Jiaming didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
I said, "It's very likely that someone in the villa community tipped us off and told them we came out. Otherwise, how would they know we were here without any reason?"
Li Jiaming's expression changed.
Zhou Qingya's expression was also not good. She hadn't believed there was a mole in the villa community before, but the current situation proved it.
At this moment, the person on the roof of the warehouse spoke again.
"You all heard what I just said, so I hope you can give me some feedback so I know where you are. You don't have to come out if you don't want to, but your little girl is going to be in trouble."
As she said this, the little girl appeared beside the man, bound and gagged. Her clothes were covered in blood, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was taped shut.
"Little girl!" I exclaimed.
Zhong Linyun looks more mature now; she must have gone through a lot in the past six months.
Seeing how haggard she looked, my heart ached.
He wished he could rush out right now, kill all those people, and rescue her.
At this moment, the other party spoke again: "I know you are nearby. You don't need to hide. I'm not acting. I really know you are nearby. So, I'll give you five seconds. If you don't come out, I'll push this girl off the building."
Hearing this, I panicked.
what to do?
"one!"
At this point, the other party started counting.
If we go out now, they will definitely open fire on us, and we will only face certain death.
But if we don't go out, the little girl might die.
We looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Two!" the other party said again.
What should we do? How can we save the little girl without causing any injuries?
"three!"
"Four!" The other person had already counted to four, and was about to reach five!
We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, something bad will happen to the little girl. There's no other way but to go out!
Just as I was about to leave, Zhou Qingya suddenly ran past me. Her actions caught none of us off guard. I tried to grab her, but it was too late. She had already dashed out and run straight to the road ahead, appearing in our line of sight.
"Hey, I'm out!" Zhou Qingya called out to the top.
At this moment, all the people who were lying in ambush around her popped their heads out and pointed their guns at Zhou Qingya, but they did not rush to fire.
"Qingya, she..." Sister Jing's face was anxious, but she had no way to help.
Upon seeing Zhou Qingya appear, the other party stopped counting, sneered, and pulled the little girl away.
Seeing them leave, I said, "Let's go, let's find another place to keep watch. They saw Qingya walk out from here, they'll definitely send someone to ambush us here."
Jingjie and Li Jiaming had no objections. We left the place and went directly into a residential building. Then we hid in the garage and kept an eye on the warehouse.
The other party did not rush to fire.
Not long after, the person who had been shouting from the rooftop brought the little girl downstairs and appeared at the warehouse entrance, about twenty meters away from Zhou Qingya.
I used binoculars to observe the situation on the other side, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Zhou Qingya then said, "Release this little girl."
The other person looked at Zhou Qingya and said in surprise, "I didn't expect it, Zhou Qingya, that a big star like you would come in person. It really scared me."
Zhou Qingya said, "You don't need to talk nonsense. Just tell me, what do you want in order to release the little girl?"
The other party chuckled and said, "It's simple. Just sleep with me for one night, and I'll let her go."
Zhou Qingya angrily said, "Don't go too far!"
The other party said, "What do you mean by 'excessive'? When your summer resort community drove us to the brink of despair, why didn't you think about going too far? Now I've just arrested a little girl, and you think I've gone too far? That doesn't make sense."
Suppressing her anger, Zhou Qingya said, "Fine, then tell me, what do you want in return for letting this little girl go?"
