Hearing the man's words, Li Wenbo trembled with fear, but with the knife pressed against his neck, he dared not scream.
His voice trembled as he pleaded, "I'll give you all my gold bars, just promise to let me go, and let my whole family go!"
The man with the hoarse voice chuckled, "I promised, so what? I went back on my word! What? This old man actually took it seriously! Hahaha!"
He said to his buddy, "This deal is huge; these gold bars could be worth hundreds of thousands!"
Once they report it to the police, it's such a big case, the police will definitely investigate. No matter which province we flee to, as long as we don't leave the country, we'll likely be caught! We can't leave any survivors!
The two men next to him, wearing black masks, nodded and made clicking sounds.
"Hundreds of thousands!"
"Hundreds of thousands?"
How much can each of us get?
The man with the hoarse voice said, "There are six of us in total. I'll give you 200,000, and the rest you can divide equally, with each of you getting at least 100,000!"
That much gold is worth about 600,000 yuan. I never imagined their family was so rich!
We've been watching them from the doorway for so long, and all we know is that they sell calendars. Are calendars really that profitable? I heard they've only been in business for a few days!
Li Wenbo said, "Selling calendars doesn't make money; this is something my ancestors left me!"
He hurriedly distanced himself from the matter of making money from calendars, fearing that even the tens of thousands of yuan under the bed had been plundered by these men!
This is money his daughter worked so hard to earn. Even if he loses the gold, he can't let his daughter's money go to waste.
However, these men aren't thinking about such things right now; the amount of gold is already enough to shock them!
As far as they knew, among the tens of thousands of households in the alley where they lived and the alley where Li Wenbo lived, not a single one had ten thousand yuan.
The man with the hoarse voice said to his brother, "You kill him, and the two of us will carry the gold up!"
Li Wenbo's heart turned cold. He said, "Please spare my wife. She doesn't know anything. I beg you!"
The masked man punched Li Wenbo in the head, cursing, "What nonsense are you spouting?! You're about to die yourself, and you're still worrying about your wife!"
He raised the knife and slashed it viciously at Li Wenbo's neck.
Li Wenbo painfully closed his eyes for a moment, but then he unexpectedly heard a scream.
He opened his eyes in astonishment and saw the man who was about to cut his trachea with a knife lying on the ground, convulsing in pain. He didn't know where he was injured; he was just shaking. The knife in his hand had long since been thrown to the ground.
He stared blankly for a few seconds, completely bewildered. This man was clearly trying to kill him…
Why is this man lying on the ground trembling? Did he kill himself?
Suddenly, he remembered something, grabbed a knife, rushed out of the basement, and went to settle accounts with the two men who had left.
The two men who had already gone upstairs heard the screams downstairs and cursed, "What was he thinking? He killed someone and then let that person scream so loudly. What if the neighbors heard?"
The man with the hoarse voice said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's wait for him to come up and then leave quickly!"
I'll go tell them to kill that woman too! And their daughter, do it all with them too!
However, to their surprise, it was not their accomplice who ran upstairs, but Li Wenbo!
Li Wenbo took the knife and swung it at the two men.
The man with the hoarse voice exclaimed in surprise, "How come you're not dead?!"
However, the next moment he felt as if something had stabbed the back of his neck, and his vision went black as he collapsed.
The man next to the man with the hoarse voice reached out to pull him up, but he also fell down!
Li Wenbo rushed over, dumbfounded, staring at the two men. What was going on with them? He hadn't killed them yet!
How did these two men collapse on their own?
At this moment, Li Wenbo's mind was in a complete whirl, unable to understand what was going on.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to his wife's room.
He pushed open the door and rushed in, only to be shocked by what he saw inside: his wife was lying on the bed, blindfolded, crying.
The three men next to him also fell to the ground...
He ran over and removed the pillowcase covering his wife's eyes, as well as the pillowcase stuffed in her mouth.
She asked, "Xiaohui, what's going on?"
When Cheng Xiaohui saw Li Wenbo, she grabbed him tightly, as if afraid he would run away.
She shook her head, crying, and said, "I don't know, I don't know. The three of them said they were going to kill me. They covered my eyes with a pillowcase and tied my hands with a rope."
Then I heard a few thumping sounds. I didn't know what was happening; I was worried about you and our daughter, so I just kept crying.
"Oh, right, our daughter! Our daughter! Go check on her quickly!"
Li Wenbo said, "I saw that my daughter's bedroom door was always closed, so no one should have gone in. My daughter should be fine!"
Despite saying that, he was still worried about his daughter. He didn't have time to untie Cheng Xiaohui's ropes before he ran to Li Xiyue's room to check on her.
He gripped the doorknob and pushed the door inward, but sure enough, it wouldn't budge; the door was securely locked!
He pounded on the door and called out, "Yue'er? Yue'er, are you alright?!"
Li Xiyue's voice came from inside the room. She yawned and said, "I'm fine. Why did you call me in the middle of the night?"
When Li Wenbo heard his daughter's voice, his heart finally settled down. Only then did he realize that his legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
He said, "I'm so glad you're alright. Come out quickly, something's happened at home. Go check on your mother, I didn't have time to untie her ropes..."
The door opened, and Li Xiyue rubbed her eyes, saying, "What are you talking about? What rope? What happened to my mother? Why are you sitting on the floor?"
She stepped over Li Wenbo and walked towards her mother's room.
As she walked in, she feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Mom, what's wrong?! Who are they? Why are they lying on the floor?!"
Cheng Xiaohui cried, "Quickly, help me untie the ropes! Yue'er, are you alright?! They're robbers, they want to steal our gold bars!"
Li Xiyue untied the rope from Cheng Xiaohui's hands.
Cheng Xiaohui buried her face in her daughter's arms, holding her tightly as if afraid her daughter would disappear from her sight at any moment!
Li Xiyue patted her mother's back reassuringly, "Mom, it's okay, it's okay! I see they're not moving, could they all be dead?!"
Mi Bao's voice came from inside the space, "Haha! Even the best actor would be impressed by your acting skills! Your acting is absolutely amazing!"
Your parents would never have imagined that you were the one who killed all these people! Hahaha!
Li Xiyue said, "Was the acting really that good? Not a single flaw? Don't flatter me!"
