In the abandoned factory, Yu Xunteng was playing on his phone when he saw Xiao Liu twisting and struggling. He burst into laughter: "So what if you manage to break free? You think you can escape?"
Yu Xunteng pulled out a gun and pointed it at Xiao Liu: "If you dare to run away, I'll blow your head off!"
He lowered his voice, his eerie tone like that of a demon from hell, trying to scare the little guy into tears: "When the time comes, your head will be like a watermelon, and with a bang, your brains will splatter out everywhere."
He was looking forward to seeing fear, panic, and preferably crying and incontinence on the boy's face!
But no.
He met a pair of eyes so clear they terrified him.
Those eyes were as clear as a lake that could reflect people's hearts. He saw his own face in those eyes—a face covered by a mask, with only the eyes showing, a distorted and terrifying face.
He took a step back and was startled by his own reflection in his pupils.
"Mmm..." Xiao Liu made a sound.
Yu Xunteng tore off the seal on his mouth, wanting to hear what this tiny child could say.
"I know who you are."
The child spoke in a childish voice, and his first words surprised him.
He didn't believe that this little kid could actually guess who he was. Even if he took off the hood, the kid probably still wouldn't recognize him.
His absolute confidence was shattered by the child's second sentence.
“You are Yu Xunteng, the old man’s rival, Grandpa Yu’s grandson. No, you are not Grandpa Yu’s grandson. You are an imposter.”
"What did you say!"
Yu Xunteng grabbed Xiao Liu by the neck, his anger driving him mad.
Xiao had initially been watching with a detached, spectator's attitude, standing to the side with his arms crossed. But seeing the little thing already rolling its eyes, he immediately went up and pulled Yu Xunteng away, yelling, "Are you crazy? This is a hundred million US dollars! Don't kill it!"
Xiao Liu coughed awkwardly, his face turning red and purple. Just a moment ago, he could feel that he was very close to death.
He wasn't sure if the other person was Yu Xunteng. He only said the last sentence to provoke the other person. If it was Yu Xunteng, he would definitely be furious.
Sure enough, it was Yu Xunteng!
"Never mind him, I won't kill him, but at least let me vent my anger!"
"I can't handle the old man, but I refuse to believe that even a little brat can bully me!"
Yu Xunteng unbuckled his belt and lashed it hard at Xiao Liu.
"Ah—" Xiao Liu cried out.
Yu Xunteng laughed loudly: "Little thing, you're trying to trick me? Even if you do, so what? I am Yu Xunteng. What good will it do you if you know? Besides suffering more, what else will you gain?"
The belt was pulled down again.
Xiao Liu's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Xiao grabbed Yu Xunteng's hand, and the belt slipped from his grasp.
"He's dizzy, stop fooling around."
"Making a scene? Am I making a scene?"
Yu Xunteng threw the belt on the ground and roared, "He knows who I am now. Even if he gets the money, I can't let him go!"
Xiao frowned: "You want to kill the hostage?"
Yu Xunteng removed his hood, his smile twisted and eerie: "What else? Should we put him back?"
"You'd better think this through. The case you're carrying is at most attempted murder, but if you kill this kid, there'll be no turning back."
"So, it wasn't me who killed him, it was you."
"Your plan is far too shrewd."
"Xiao, you're a top assassin, you have countless lives on your hands. One more or one less won't make a difference. At worst, we'll split the 100 million 30/70, you get 70% and I get 30%, what do you say?"
"I will not kill children under the age of ten."
"Hahaha..." Yu Xunteng laughed, bending over with laughter, bursting into laughter, and finally rolling on the ground: "Xiao, you're a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye, and you're talking to me about not killing children? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year!" He suddenly straightened his face, his laughter fading: "Since you won't kill them, then I'll kill them myself!"
"Xiao, I... can't turn back now."
"From the day you took me away from the Dragon Kingdom, there was no turning back."
Just as Yu Xunteng was walking toward the unconscious Xiao Liu with his gun raised, Xiao snatched the gun from his hand and said with a grim face, "I'll make my move after I get the money."
Xiao placed the gun on the table beside him, took the metal canister from his waist, which was filled with the strongest liquor, and took a big gulp: "Let's see if that guy surnamed Han is willing to spend the money. If the money isn't in my account in three days, I'll make my move."
Xiao Liu, who was "in a coma," twitched his ears.
Is the old man really willing to spend 100 million to save himself?
It's not 100 million Chinese Yuan, it's 100 million US Dollars. Does the old man have that much money?
I'm not the kind of child who's very obedient, and he doesn't seem to like me that much... Would he really be willing to spend so much money to replace a disobedient child?
If I had that much money, I wouldn't trade it for anyone but Xiaoqi!
The old man should save all his money for Xiao Qi. It's not worth spending so much money to save himself; he's not that valuable anyway.
Anyway... it's definitely not worth saving myself...
"Ding." The phone rang.
Xiao Liu perked up his ears.
Xiao picked up his phone to check and chuckled, "He's quite rich. It's only been a short time since you texted him asking for money, and he's already scraped together a hundred million dollars. He's really generous, just to save such a little thing."
Yu Xunteng snatched the phone to verify that the money had been deposited, and then laughed cruelly and bloodthirstyly: "Xiao, the money's in your account, why aren't you making your move!"
"Bang!" An explosion rang out.
"What's going on?" Yu Xunteng was startled, and almost dropped his phone.
Xiao snatched back his phone, his face turning cold: "Something's happened outside, let's go."
"Kill the child first!"
"No, the gunshots will attract attention. We need to get out of here first."
"Take this child with you!"
"Don't bring it, it's a burden."
"Then I'll strangle him!" Yu Xunteng had no intention of letting Xiao Liu go. He walked towards Xiao Liu and reached out his hand to approach Xiao Liu's neck.
"Bang!" Another explosion rang out, and flames could be seen shooting into the sky outside.
The owl roared, "Don't waste time, hurry up! I'm leaving!"
Seeing that Xiao had already run away, Yu Xunteng became ruthless and grabbed Xiao Liu's neck tightly. Xiao Liu's face turned blue and his eyes rolled back, as if he had seen the Grim Reaper.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
Xiao Liu could breathe again, his lungs heaving violently. His vision was blurry. He looked at the boy walking out of the firelight. The boy was holding a gun and had no expression on his face, just like the Grim Reaper.
Xiao Liu looked down and saw Yu Xunteng lying in a pool of blood, seemingly dead.
The boy walked up to Yu Xunteng and raised the gun again, "Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Xiao Liu heard a deafening roar in his ears and had lost count of how many shots the boy had fired.
He remembered seeing this boy somewhere before—at a jade gambling stall. He was a child from China adopted by the owner, who seemed to call him "Jiao"!
Xiao Liu murmured, "Horn?"
The horn sound brought the boy back to his senses; the gun in his hand was already out of bullets.
"Are you really Horn? Brother Horn, can you untie me? There's a bad guy who escaped!"
The corner was surprised that the child was not afraid and even called him brother.
"Aren't you afraid of me? I just killed someone right in front of you."
"You came to save me, you killed bad guys, why should I be afraid of you?"
“I’m not saving you, I’m just seeking revenge. He hired people to kill my family.”
"You said he hired assassins to kill your family? Besides him, your other enemy is that assassin! I just overheard their conversation; the villain who escaped is the assassin's leader. You must kill him to complete your revenge!"
"You're right." After untying Xiao Liu, the gang leader, they prepared to chase after Xiao.
Xiao Liu took Yu Xunteng's gun from the table and chased after him, saying, "Brother Jiao, take me with you."
