Chapter 497: Pretending to Argue

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zou Bai didn’t have the patience to negotiate with Si Cheng. Moreover, the other party didn’t have any lethal weapons. The children were just tied up. Unless there was a bomb under their butts, it was an easy situation to rescue them.

Zou Bai didn’t think there would be bombs. Si Cheng’s methods of kidnapping people were very crude. It was obvious that he didn’t prepare anything in advance.

Therefore, he directly asked the secret guards to sneak over. As long as they could reach the children, there was no need to talk nonsense with Si Cheng. They could just kill him.

Although Zou Bai didn’t want to kill anyone in front of Jiang An, what Si Cheng had done had crossed his bottom line, so he had to die.

In such a short period of time, he had already thought of several ways to kill him. He even considered how to dispose of the corpse, whether he should throw it into the sea to feed the fish or treat it as fertilizer.

The secret guards quickly arrived beside the two children. Jiang Yi could see them when he looked up. The person in black had changed into green and was hiding very well among the leaves. He looked like a bat hanging upside down.

Jiang Yi took out the blade hidden in his watch, cut the rope on his hand, and turned to cut his sister’s rope.

The secret guards did not expect their young master to do such a thing. As expected of the Zou family’s child.

Jiang An naturally noticed the two children’s actions and quickly opened her mouth to attract Si Cheng’s attention. “You want money, right? Name a price.”

Even if Si Cheng wanted money, he was angered by Jiang An’s tone. He was clearly the heir of the company not long ago, but now, he had fallen to the point of kidnapping and asking for money.

However, his ex-wife was so rich that she asked him to name a price. This difference was really unacceptable.

Si Cheng took a deep breath and said, “I want 100 million. Exchange it all into gold bars for me.”

He knew that he could not take away 100 million yuan in cash. If the money in his bank card could be frozen at any time, taking the gold bars was the safest way.

Jiang Yan frowned. “Do you know how much 100 million is? Even the Jiang family can’t fork out 100 million immediately. They need time to exchange it with real estate.”

Of course, these words were a lie. The Jiang family could use more money than 100 million yuan at any time. Jiang An had the highest authority in the corporation and could take money from the accounts whenever she wanted.

However, these words could not be said to Si Cheng. What they had to do now was to stall for time.

“I’ll give you half an hour. You have to send the gold bars over. Otherwise, I’ll kill these two children. At most, we’ll all die together,” Si Cheng said excitedly.

Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yan. “Brother, if we take this 100 million, something will definitely happen to the company. The shares in my hands will definitely shrink. I don’t agree with doing this.”

“I don’t agree either. The Jiang family’s assets don’t belong to one person. We have to discuss it carefully,” Jiang Huai said at this moment.

Jiang An was anxious. “What about Little Feather and Little Wingsy?”

“It’s not that we don’t want to save them, but 100 million isn’t a small sum. We have to think about it carefully,” Jiang Xun pushed his glasses and said.

Of course, the siblings were acting. In the eyes of the three brothers, the Jiang family belonged to An’an. She could spend as much as she wanted. It was fine even if she wanted to throw a hundred million yuan to play. As long as their sister was happy.

However, when facing Si Cheng, they had to act like their relationship was not good to disrupt his plan and buy some time for the children.

Si Cheng didn’t know that they were acting. He thought that the Jiang family was really going to have an internal strife and mocked Jiang An in his heart. Even if she had the identity of the heir, she still had her three brothers suppressing her. She couldn’t even call the shots when it came to taking money.

However, seeing that they couldn’t come up with an answer, Si Cheng urged, “If you can’t do it within the specified time, don’t blame me for what I’ll do.”

As he said this, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi had already broken free of the ropes. The secret guard slid down from the tree and picked up the little masters. Then, he quietly left without making a sound.

Seeing all of this, Zou Bai took out his gun, slowly loaded it, and aimed it at Si Cheng. He really didn’t understand why this fool would do such a thing as kidnapping.

He didn’t have complete control over the hostages, nor did he have a weapon that could threaten the other party. He thought that he had succeeded after tying them up.

If it weren’t for the fact that the people who were kidnapped were Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi, Zou Bai wouldn’t have let Jiang An negotiate. When he arrived just now, he would have fired and killed Si Cheng cleanly.

The secret guard left with the children. Zou Bai said, “An’an, close your eyes!”

Jiang An subconsciously closed her eyes obediently. Then, she heard a gunshot. Si Cheng swayed twice and collapsed..
