Even a random roadside hotel would be better than staying here, right?
Why don't they sleep in this perfectly good bed? It's not like they don't have money. Besides, there's no news about children being searched for. So why are they suffering in this godforsaken place?
I really can't understand it; that skinny monkey is just too paranoid.
You idiot, if you had thought of that, they would have made a fortune long ago.
Skinny Monkey had already replaced the stolen car with another one before they even went up the mountain, and he even drove the car they had used directly into the river.
By the time the car was salvaged by the fortune teller, they had already taken the money and left.
No one can find them anymore.
If you're not this careful, it's all for nothing if you earn money but don't have the life to enjoy it.
The man has no idea how thorough Skinny Monkey's preparations were.
All the gray areas in Ancheng were under the close surveillance and inspection of the Songwu Hall. Although the Gu family was still fighting against the surface storm, they secretly allocated a large part of their manpower and resources to conduct a full-scale search, which even extended beyond Ancheng.
Needless to say, Zhong Jiarui's side is even worse.
As the first person to discover the child, besides arranging emergency rescue for Doubao, all he did was to do his best to track down Xiao Anman's whereabouts.
The atmosphere in Ancheng suddenly became somewhat tense.
Those with a keen sense of smell will quickly detect the strangeness of Ancheng's outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense nature.
People in some neighborhoods who are used to taking walks in the evenings have gradually noticed that there seem to be fewer people walking outside at night.
Skinny Monkey and his companions stayed on the mountain for two days before they received another call from the client.
"...The goods are ready, but now we need to pay more."
Skinny Monkey's intuition told him that one million was far too little for them.
The item's identity was already factored into the price, but based on his observations over the past two days, the little baby seemed to be worth more than a hundred.
Taking such a big risk, if they get scammed, they'll suffer a huge loss. So now they have to pay more.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised that Skinny Monkey would make such a request; after saying just one sentence, he agreed to the price.
"Tell me, how much?"
Seeing that they agreed so readily, a look of greed immediately appeared in the eyes of Skinny Monkey and his accomplices.
They exchanged hand gestures.
They'd had enough of living in constant fear. If they could pull off a big heist, even if it didn't guarantee them a life of luxury, they could at least enjoy themselves for a while.
"Five or six million, six million!"
When Skinny Monkey said this, his hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Then he heard the other end readily agree.
!!
Six hundred! Six million! Skinny Monkey and his accomplices were ecstatic in an instant.
We're going to be rich! We're going to be rich! We're really going to get rich this time!
To be honest, they were just third-rate hustlers in the underworld before, and the biggest deal they ever made was only one million. But now, it's a full six million.
At this moment, when the two men saw the tightly bound little Anman inside the sack, they no longer looked at it as just a piece of cargo.
That's a real gem!
As the two men cheered for the six million they were about to receive, they had no idea who they had kidnapped, nor what a huge box of jewelry awaited them in Xiao Anman's room...
