Chapter 347: A Close Call
Whenever Lin Yilan thought about Gao Hu blocking a bullet for her, she felt quite guilty. Lin Yilan came to Gao Hu with a concerned look on her face and asked, "Gao Hu, how are you feeling now?"
At this time, Huo Juncheng and others quickly ran towards this direction after hearing the gunshots.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. These are just superficial injuries." Gao Hu forced a smile while enduring the piercing pain in his arm.
After briefly bandaging Gao Hu's wound, Lin Yilan once again fixed her gaze on the man whose arm she had broken while holding the gun. She quickly walked over to him and stopped, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this? And where are the hostages you kidnapped? I'll give you one last chance."
The person in front of him had already experienced Lin Yilan's kung fu, and his face was pale at this moment.
But despite this, after his lips trembled slightly for a few times, Nie Nuo finally said a word.
"Miss, I really don't know... In fact, all the things I did were forced..."
"How dare you act pathetic here with me?! Tell me or not! If you don't, I'll break your other arm!"
Lin Yilan's inner anger burst out in an instant. This guy was not so pitiful when he shot at her just now.
The young man in front of him subconsciously covered his head and begged repeatedly, "Please be magnanimous and let us go. We really don't know anything. Someone kidnapped our family and forced us to do this. We had no choice..."
Lin Yilan hesitated. Although he didn't know whether the words spoken by the person in front of him were true or false, just looking at the expression of the person in front of him, he didn't think he was lying.
The anger in her heart gradually subsided. Perhaps the main reason why the young man in front of her tried every means to deal with her was that he wanted to protect the safety of his family.
Under the coercion and inducement of the mysterious man, he had to do so.
"Have you ever seen the person who ordered you to do this? Can you draw a simple portrait of him, or describe his characteristics?"
Lin Yilan still seemed unwilling to give up, and continued to stare at the person in front of her.
The man in front of him had a bitter look on his face, then slowly shook his head. "Miss, I really don't know. This person's whereabouts are very secretive. If I really knew some of his characteristics or had seen him, I would definitely have called the police long ago. How could I inexplicably let myself become a gun in someone else's hands?"
Just when the conversation between the two people came to an end, Huo Juncheng quickly reached the second floor under Gao Long's protection.
Seeing the mess on the scene, with four young men lying in a mess in the huge abandoned factory, and thinking of the sudden gunshots just now, Huo Juncheng's eyes suddenly became a little anxious.
He quickly came to Lin Yilan's side and looked her up and down carefully.
As if sensing the worry in Huo Juncheng's eyes, Lin Yilan felt warm in her heart and then smiled faintly.
"Huo Juncheng, you don't need to look. I wasn't the one injured, and I'm fine. It was Gao Hu who blocked a bullet for me at the most critical moment."
After hearing what Lin Yilan said, Huo Juncheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then winked at Gao Long beside him.
Gao Long understood and immediately walked towards Gao Hu with the medical kit he carried with him.
"Did you get anything out of them?"
Huo Juncheng frowned and looked around, but did not see any trace of his grandmother. He couldn't help feeling a little lost.
"No, it seems these guys are not the mysterious person. The people under their command are just forced to become scapegoats for the safety of their families."
"You mean they were forced?"
After hearing Lin Yilan's explanation, Huo Juncheng seemed a little unconvinced.
Lin Yilan shrugged noncommittally and pointed at the young man in front of her: "Why don't you ask? This is all I can get."
Huo Juncheng shook his head, as if he didn't care much about this kind of interrogation.
"Let's do something else first. You can't get any valuable information out of me, and the result will be the same if I ask."
Just when Huo Juncheng was about to say something again, the phone that had just been turned on rang again.
Just when Lin Yilan and the others had already started to act, Huo Juncheng was worried that the mysterious man would contact him again. In order to avoid not being able to receive any notification from the mysterious man, Huo Juncheng had no choice but to turn his phone back on.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that what I did was right.
I chose the answer button without hesitation. As soon as the call was connected, a low voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Huo Juncheng, it seems you're not stupid. You knew to take the initiative in this matter, but did you find the answer you wanted this time? Did you meet the hostage you wanted to rescue?"
Just from the tone of his voice, one could tell that the mysterious man was quite complacent. But then again, the mysterious man did have some tricks up his sleeve. He had anticipated this step in advance and had already made the necessary preparations. This was indeed quite surprising.
Huo Juncheng's brows were filled with anger: "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. Just like I told you before, I just want you to prepare a ransom of 50 million US dollars. I wonder if you have brought it this time?"
After waiting for a while, the mysterious man did not get a positive answer from Huo Juncheng, but just smiled lightly.
"My drone will be here soon. If you want your grandma to survive, I advise you not to cross my line again."
Before Huo Juncheng could continue speaking, a busy tone sounded from the other end, clearly indicating the call had been disconnected. "Damn it! This guy is so cunning!"
He stretched out his hand and punched the wall next to him hard, his eyes full of helplessness.
Lin Yilan walked over to Huo Juncheng, reached out and gently patted him on the back: "Huo Juncheng, at this moment, we can only follow the other party's requirements. We should take one step at a time and find the right opportunity to strike back."
Because everyone knows in their hearts that they have no way out.
The only thing we can do now is wait!
