Cha Meiling's heart sank suddenly: "..."
"Trying to run away?" The ruthless bandit leader sneered, then suddenly went over, grabbed her arm, and dragged her off the chair!
"Ah! Let go of me! You're hurting me!" Cha Meiling cried out in pain. "I'm Cha Shenlou's daughter! You can't treat me like this!"
"Cha Shenlou's daughter?" The bandit leader seemed to have heard a joke.
The man's tone was full of sarcasm: "You think he can afford to hire us?"
He abruptly threw Cha Meiling to the ground, looking down at her with eyes as cold as if he were looking at a dead person—
"Let me tell you, he's nothing but a dog kept by our superior! Even if we kill you, that old bastard Cha Shenlou won't dare utter a sound!"
Cha Meiling stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her mind blank.
What does "going online" mean?
To whom was Cha Shenlou employed?
Upon closer inspection, she realized that these ruthless thugs didn't look like street thugs at all.
That kind of demeanor is more like the mercenaries Ning Bingyu used to hire!
Even their weapons...so professional!
They also had accents, a strong ABC (American-born Chinese) flavor, and there were quite a few foreigners among them!
She used to go hunting in the United States and Africa, where the weapons were almost all the latest military equipment!
"Who exactly are you people? Why are you helping my father do this kind of thing?" Cha Meiling endured the pain, trying to get more information out of him.
Who exactly is Cha Shenlou working for?
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! Behave yourself!" The ruthless bandit leader impatiently grabbed Cha Meiling's hair.
Ignoring her screams, the ruthless gang leader dragged her up from the ground and carried her like a chick to the water pipe in the basement, where he tied her up with a rope.
"You'd better listen to your dad and give him the money soon, or he might not be able to protect you."
The man smiled maliciously and pinched her buttock hard.
Fear, like a cold snake, slowly coiled around Cha Meiling's heart, almost suffocating her.
The ruthless bandit leader spat, turned and walked out the door, saying to Cha Shenlou who was standing at the door—
"Boss Cha, your daughter is a bit disobedient."
The ruthless bandit leader stretched out his thick finger and forcefully poked Cha Shenlou's chest—
"Let me tell you, we brothers have been holding back our anger lately to protect you! We've only refrained from sleeping with her because of you and the money. You'd better keep an eye on her and don't make things difficult for us!"
Cha Shenlou's face turned pale with anger. When had he, the dignified head of the Cha family, ever suffered such humiliation?!
Looking at his daughter's disheveled state in the basement, he felt both angry and annoyed, but he also knew that now was not the time to discipline her.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Ah Hu, don't worry, I will discipline my daughter well, and I will arrange the money as soon as possible. I will definitely not treat my brothers unfairly!"
He's barely able to protect himself and has to rely on these desperate thugs to help him escape, so he has no choice but to swallow his anger for now.
The ruthless bandit leader, nicknamed Ah Hu, snorted coldly, patted Cha Shenlou on the shoulder, and spoke in a meaningful tone—
"Boss Cha, a wise man submits to circumstances. Alright, it's getting late, and we brothers are going to have some late-night snacks. You decide what to do."
After saying that, Ah Hu swaggered out of the basement with a few of his men.
Cha Shenlou watched their departing figures, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
A bunch of muscle-bound but brainless bastards, he'll take care of them eventually!
In the living room, a sumptuous late-night snack was laid out on the table, its aroma filling the air and making one's mouth water.
"Boss, come on, let's have a drink!"
A wiry, skinny bandit picked up a glass of wine, grinned, and walked up to Ah Hu, wanting to offer him a toast.
"Get out of here! Who gave you permission to drink while on a mission?"
Ah Hu kicked the skinny, burly bandit in the buttocks and cursed angrily.
"Hey boss, don't be angry, just one drink, just one..."
The skinny, burly bandit dodged with a grin, still trying to persuade Ah Hu to drink more.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet night.
The smile on the skinny, burly bandit's face froze instantly, and he looked down at his chest in disbelief.
A gaping hole suddenly appeared there, and blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.
The thin, burly bandit's smile was still frozen on his face as he fell straight backward, knocking over the food and drinks on the table with a loud crash.
The sudden change of events instantly silenced the once noisy living room, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Ah Hu reacted extremely quickly. He rolled behind the sofa, grabbed the submachine gun on the table, and unleashed a barrage of fire at the incoming bullets, roaring:
"Enemies!"
His response was met with even more intense gunfire; bullets rained down like raindrops, striking the walls and furniture and leaving countless bullet holes.
Gunshots echoed deafeningly in the empty living room.
"Damn! There's an ambush!"
Ah Hu cursed as he crouched down to dodge bullets.
The thugs behind him also drew their weapons and fired in the direction from which the gunfire came, organizing a well-trained counterattack.
The living room descended into chaos, with gunshots, shouts, and the deafening sounds of overturned tables and chairs mingling together.
Cha Shenlou turned pale with fright. He hid behind the sofa, trembling, his heart filled with anger and rage.
He never expected that someone would come to his door at this time!
Could they be from the Ning family?
No, impossible!
Even if the Ning family is powerful, they couldn't possibly have found this place so quickly! Besides, he kidnapped his own daughter, not a member of the Ning family!
Who could it be?
In the basement, Cha Meiling turned pale with fright at the sudden gunshot.
She struggled desperately to break free of the rope, but it was tied so tightly that she couldn't escape.
"What's going on? Why are there gunshots outside?"
Damn it!
Who is it?!
Cha Meiling felt a mixture of fear and hope.
Is that the police? Have the police come to rescue her?
She still had so many things to do; she couldn't just die like that, without knowing why!
...
In the living room.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Gunshots rang out, followed by screams as the thugs fell to the ground, their blood staining the floor.
Ah Hu stared at his men lying in pools of blood, his eyes bloodshot, his face filled with terror and despair.
"Take Cha Shenlou with you! I'll cover your retreat!" Ah Hu roared.
Damn it, they were careless; they shouldn't have taken off their bulletproof vests!
Only if Cha Shenlou lives can they receive the huge bounty from their superiors!
He knew in his heart that the other side had come prepared and with fierce firepower. If this continued, they would be surrounded and wiped out sooner or later.
He hid behind the sofa, peering through the gap to observe the outside situation, trying to find traces of the other party.
