Chapter 68 Uncles, please take me with you!
Hu Dahu covered his face, staring wide-eyed at the little girl in front of him, unable to utter a word for a long time.
How could it be a little girl?
How could it be... Commander Lou's daughter!
He actually kidnapped Commander Lou's daughter?!
After a brief silence, the courtyard erupted in violent panic.
"What?! You actually kidnapped Commander Lou's daughter?!"
"How dare you lay a hand on Lou Wenshan's daughter, Hu Dahu! Are you out of your mind?!"
"Hu Dahu, you've got some nerve!"
"So the martial law in Haicheng was to arrest us?!"
Hu Dahu was on the verge of tears: "She was walking with Miss Zhang. How was I supposed to know she was Marshal Lou's daughter? If I had known, even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't have dared to arrest her!"
"What should we do now? Should we send this little girl back?"
"Foolish!" someone shouted angrily. "The person has already been arrested. If we send them back now, wouldn't that be admitting that we did it? Do you want to die?
"What can we do? The person has already been arrested. Even if we explain to Commander Lou that we arrested the wrong person, they won't believe us."
"The entire city of Haicheng is under martial law now, and the search is so commotion. You can imagine how angry Commander Lou is! Half a day has already passed, and the later we send Miss Lou back, the worse off we'll be!"
"Or..." someone said menacingly, "we might as well go all the way and kill this little kid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Scarface had already kicked him.
"Are you tired of living?" he roared. "When a person is alive, at least we have hope of negotiating. But when a person is dead, I don't think you can expect to live either!"
"Boss, what should we do?"
Scarface's face was grim, and the flickering oil lamp light revealed the deep fear etched on his hideous scar.
He remained silent for a long time.
Or perhaps it was just a few deep breaths.
“Leave the men here,” Scarface said. “Let’s run.”
"run?"
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Scarface glared fiercely at them: "What else can we do? Before Lou Wenshan finds us, we need to hurry and get as far away as possible!"
Scarface put the pistol in his pocket and said in a heavy voice, "Escape Haicheng, escape the three provinces of East China, escape Lou Wenshan's sphere of influence, and never come back in this lifetime."
The bandits exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant.
"Have you forgotten the corpse that was hung outside Haicheng last year?"
Upon hearing this, all the bandits fell silent.
Of course they hadn't forgotten. As villains who lived on the edge, they had the guts to break the law, but they also cared about the fate of their colleagues.
The corpses were mangled beyond recognition, not a single piece of flesh intact; every bone in their bodies was shattered. They had endured inhuman torture before their deaths, yet it took them a long time to breathe their last. After that, Commander Lou's brutal methods were heavily criticized.
But it also served as a warning to others, deterring anyone from harboring malicious intentions.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Perhaps, if they don't run fast enough, that will be their fate.
Now, all the bandits stopped hesitating and immediately packed their things to escape.
They quickly swept the yard, erasing any trace they had left behind.
The two small hostages in the corner went unnoticed for a while.
"Boss, what about the young master of the Zhang family?" someone finally asked. "We kidnapped the young master of the Zhang family, we've already arrested him, but we haven't gotten the money yet. That's a million silver dollars!"
Scarface said coldly, "Kill him."
"Boss?"
"It's too late. If it weren't for this young master, we wouldn't have mistakenly arrested Lou Wenshan's daughter." With that, the scarred man glared fiercely at Hu Dahu. "We can't work alone anymore; he's just a burden. Let's kill him!"
The bandit nodded silently.
These conversations made no attempt to avoid mentioning the two children.
Someone pulled a sharp knife from their back and walked toward the two small hostages in the corner.
The blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light. As the bad guys drew ever closer, Zhang Jingsen's cries were choked in fear, and he couldn't even utter a sound.
He wanted to escape, but his hands and feet were still tied, so he couldn't escape and could only tremble and shrink into the corner.
"No...don't kill me." He sobbed, "My sister has money, my sister will give you money, please don't kill me...sob sob."
The bandit sneered.
money?
You have to be lucky enough to have it.
The bandit raised the sharp knife in his hand.
Just before he was about to stab, he suddenly felt a gaze fall on him.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little girl next to me staring intently at the scene of the crime with her bright, dark eyes.
She seemed unaware of the tragedy that was about to unfold, her round little face full of curiosity.
The bandits suddenly couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Even his hands began to tremble.
"Boss, boss." The bandit swallowed hard. "What if... we kill her and scare Miss Lou?"
Scarface: "..."
"This little baby is so small, we can't let it traumatize him." He said with lingering fear, "If something serious happens to him, wouldn't Commander Lou cause us even more trouble?"
Scarface couldn't help but glance at the little hostage in the corner.
The little girl was left in the corner, her hands and feet tied, curled up in a ball. She looked so cute and soft, she didn't seem frightening at all.
Even adults have nightmares when they see a murder scene, let alone such a small baby?
After careful consideration, Scarface said, "Never mind."
“Once Lou Wenshan finds his way here, Young Master Zhang will eventually betray us.” A cruel glint of hatred flashed in the scarred man’s eyes. “He’s also implicated in this whole affair. Why should we help him clear the way? Let the Zhang family fight like dogs.”
"Time is running out, hurry up, let's go right now."
The bandits quickly put away their knives, fearing that the glint of the blade might blind the little girl.
They skillfully erased all traces of human presence in the courtyard, delaying their discovery. After dividing the remaining property, they fled in all directions as soon as they left the courtyard.
Of course, before leaving, they didn't forget to untie the two children.
Mao Mao looked at them in confusion: "Uncle, where are you going?"
"Stay here and behave yourself," Hu Dahu said fiercely. "Wait, your father will come looking for you."
"Uncle, what about you?"
"Of course we ran for our lives!"
Mao Mao looked at them expectantly: "I'm scared to be here all alone."
Everyone: "..."
Scarface: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Mao Mao followed along with her short legs, saying, "Take me with you, Uncle, I'll be very good."
Everyone: "..."
Don't come any closer!
