Inside the small house, Gao Shaoxiong crouched behind the door, peering through the crack to observe everything.
Xiao Weiguo carried his suitcase and approached the small house step by step.
Thirty meters, ten meters, five meters...
"Stop, open the suitcase you're holding, and empty its contents."
Lu Jin was very cautious. He was afraid that there was something fishy in Xiao Weiguo's suitcase, so he pointed a gun at Xiao Weiguo from a distance and made him pour the money on the ground.
Xiao Weiguo, wearing only a pair of brightly colored floral shorts, placed the suitcase on the ground and zipped it up with a ripping sound.
In the sunlight, stacks of brand-new banknotes were revealed.
Xiao Weiguo grabbed the bottom of the suitcase and gave it a hard shake. With a whoosh, the suitcase full of banknotes scattered on the ground like snowflakes, piling up into a small mountain in front of him.
Xiao Weiguo tossed the suitcase aside and stood up straight.
"The money is all here, but where's Liu Ye?"
His face was expressionless as he stared at He Shuang and asked.
The attention of the two people opposite them was completely drawn to the huge pile of money.
Two hundred thousand, a full two hundred stacks of ten-yuan notes—they had never seen so much money in their lives.
In this day and age, that's enough for anyone to live comfortably for most of their life.
"Hahaha."
He Shuang chuckled maliciously a few times.
"Xiao Weiguo, you're really willing to do this. Liu Ye is inside, but..."
As he spoke, he made a move to pounce on the unarmed Xiao Weiguo. Lu Jin, whose face was covered, slowly raised his homemade gun, the dark muzzle pointed at Xiao Weiguo's chest, ready to fire at any moment.
"Wait."
Xiao Weiguo raised his hand and called out.
To say they weren't afraid would be a lie. He Shuang and his gang had already committed kidnapping, so they might not be afraid to commit murder. Nobody dared to gamble on that.
He suppressed his unease and spoke up to stop the two men who were about to commit violence.
"You've come to me just for the money, haven't you?"
"To be honest, I have plenty of money. I'll tell you the truth, I've made over 20 million in the last few months."
Xiao Weiguo kicked the pile of money on the ground and continued speaking.
"What's a little money? As long as you let Liu Ye and me go today, you can name your price."
Hearing him say that, not only He Shuang and Lü Jin, but even Gao Shaoxiong, who was eavesdropping behind the door, was tempted.
Twenty million! Even if they could just lie around and spend it however they wanted, they couldn't spend it all in several lifetimes.
Gao Shaoxiong wished he could run out himself and personally interrogate Xiao Weiguo about where the money was.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the door.
But he didn't notice that the small window on the wall behind him had been silently pushed open.
Liu Ye, who was tied to the chair, had her eyes wide open and a look of terror on her face.
She saw someone crawl in through the small, round window, which was more than two meters above the ground.
The man moved with the agility of a monkey, squeezing his entire body through the small window without making a sound.
Then, he leaped lightly, landing silently. So close to Liu Ye, she couldn't even hear his breathing.
The man raised his hand, held up one index finger, and made a shushing gesture to his lips.
Then he tiptoed toward Gao Shaoxiong.
Outside the door, faced with the temptation of a huge sum of money, the usually frantic He Shuang became the calmest one.
Because of what happened last time, Xiao Weiguo sent him to prison. This left him unable to go home, forced to live a life of hiding and barely surviving.
He had long harbored deep hatred for Xiao Weiguo. This operation was partly to make some money and escape, but more importantly, it was to take revenge on Xiao Weiguo.
"Stop trying to fool us. Even if you have a lot of money, we can't take it with us. What good is it?"
He Shuang's dirty face was twitching with muscles, making him look like a demon from hell.
"I'm going to kill you right here today, so that no matter how much money you have, you won't live to enjoy it."
Lu Jin, who was standing next to him, also realized that He Shuang was right. What use was a lot of money if they couldn't take it with them?
Xiao Weiguo, a grown man, had a hard time carrying 200,000 yuan. If he put 20 million yuan in front of them and let them take it, how much could they possibly take?
"Damn it, kill him."
As he spoke, Lü Jin raised his homemade gun, aimed at Xiao Weiguo, and prepared to fire.
Startled, Xiao Weiguo rolled over and scurried into the nearby bushes.
The bushes obscured the line of sight for shooting, and just as Lü Jin and his companion were about to pounce and find Xiao Weiguo.
Just then, the door behind them was kicked open with a loud bang.
A figure appeared behind them in an instant with incredible speed.
The figure reached out, and a hand like an iron clamp gripped the back of Lü Jin's neck, the immense force instantly stopping him.
At the same time, using Lü Jin as a support, the man flew up, one leg leaving a trail of afterimages, and with a "smack," kicked He Shuang in the back of the head.
Immediately, He Shuang collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, without uttering a sound.
Lu Jin was shocked and wanted to resist, but the man didn't give him a chance at all.
Taking advantage of the moment he landed, she grabbed his neck with both hands and executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw. Lu Jin's body slammed to the ground like a tattered sack, causing his blood to rush to his head and his eyes to roll back.
The newcomer was Jiao Bai, and in the blink of an eye, he had taken care of the two men.
Jiao Bai calmly kicked the homemade gun out of Lü Jin's hand, then kicked him in the temple, knocking Lü Jin unconscious.
A true martial artist will never give the enemy a chance to retaliate.
