C20 Mantis and Cicada
"Money?" Lei Yu Ting's face darkened, "You really want money?"
The woman who kidnapped Qiao Qiqi suddenly brought the knife close to her neck and threatened, "Lei Yu Ting, we're only doing things for others. We'll obediently keep the money, we won't hurt you in the slightest. "Otherwise..."
The tip of the blade stabbed into Qiao Qiqi's neck, licking the tender skin and flesh. He only felt a sharp pain.
Lei Yu Ting continued to raise his eyebrows as if this matter had nothing to do with him. "It seems like you only have a beautiful face and didn't inherit the God Thief's brain at all."
Beautiful? Lei Yu Ting was still in the mood to tease that woman even at a time like this.
It really was … Qiao Qiqi gritted his teeth. Lei Yu Ting was dead. Even if he didn't come to save them now, he would still be standing there saying whatever he had to say.
"Then are you going to hand over that fifty million dollar!?" The woman had no intention of talking to Lei Yu Ting.
As he spoke, he flicked the blade inward, and a small cut appeared on his delicate neck. Qiao Qi closed his eyes. It looked like a great disaster was about to befall them today. They were sure to lose their lives here.
He had warned Lei Yu Ting that he was falling into a trap, but he refused to listen.
Sigh!
"This woman is just one of my secretaries. Do you think she's worth fifty million dollars?"
Lei Yu Ting's cold voice penetrated Qiao Qiqi's heart, sending chills down her spine.
This guy … He didn't care about her life at all! It was extremely cold.
At this point, Qiao Qi couldn't care less about the general situation. Since Lei Yu Ting was the first to be heartless, then don't blame her for being unjust …
"Let me go! I have the check. " Qiao Qiqi struggled with his life on the line, snatching back a sliver of his life through the blade's edge.
"You …" Lei Yu Ting originally wanted to go up and stop them, but the muzzle of the middle-aged man was placed on his head.
Qiao Qiqi looked at Lei Yu Ting snappily and took out the cheque he had prepared beforehand without a care. "I'll give you the money, release us now!"
The woman grabbed the cheque and presented it to the middle-aged man in the lead.
The middle-aged man held the cheque and looked at it for a long time, as if he was looking at the wealth he would have for the rest of his life.
It looked like Lei Yu Ting was unavoidably out of the ordinary. The richer a person was, the more stingy they would be. Although 50 million dollars was an astronomical amount, they should still protect themselves in the face of a great catastrophe.
When Lei Yu Ting saw that she had handed over the cheque, he even put on a furious expression.
Humans really die for money while birds die for food …
"Put them in another room!" The middle-aged man put away the cheque and gave the order.
This... Are they going to tear the tickets...
Lei Yu Ting glared unhappily at Qiao Qiqi. He did not struggle at all. Even if he was caught, he still acted like a king and was taken away.
But she, Qiao Qiqi, wasn't so kind-hearted. She had originally planned to take the cheque back when she left without anyone noticing. But now that they had paid the cheques and were still being held hostage, they were truly a group of untrustworthy people!
"Why aren't you letting them go after receiving the money!?" "Shameless, shameless!" Qiao Qiqi struggled with all his might.
The middle-aged man walked in and grabbed her by the neck, "We didn't say we would let you go just because we got the money. Miss, you misunderstood! "Hahaha."
The group of bandits also started laughing as well. The woman who pretended to be Qiao Qi Qi also held the middle-aged man's arm and smiled. "Since big brother only wants Lei Yu Ting, what do we do with this girl first?"
The knife in the woman's hand had Qiao Qiqi's face imprinted on it.
"Don't go too far!" Lei Yu Ting, who had been silently walking forwards, suddenly turned around. He was emitting a king's aura from between his eyebrows. Although he was kidnapped, he was still neither humble nor arrogant.
Qiao Qiqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It seemed like Lei Yu Ting wasn't so greedy as to ignore her life.
The middle-aged man let go of Qiao Qiqi's neck, "Let your big brother handle this." This time, we got the money and helped big brother catch Lei Yu Ting. Besides, Big Bro also said that he would send Lei Yu Ting's secretary back with him, so it was definitely this woman. Let's not get into trouble. "
Looking at the middle-aged man proudly walking away with the woman in his arms, Qiao Qi couldn't help but feel infuriated.
This group of people clearly came for Lei Yu Ting, but why would she be captured together with Lei Yu Ting? She was just a thief. She had lost the ruby ring before she got it.
Why!
"You bunch of grandsons! Aunt will fight it out with you today. " Qiao Qiqi resisted with all his might, but it was not enough to drag her back to the broken house.
"Lei Yu Ting!" Say something. Where are your usual high spirits? Why did you wash your neck clean today and wait for someone to slaughter you? "
When Qiao Qiqi handed over the cheque, Lei Yu Ting was already fuming with anger. Now that Qiao Qi had no brains left to desperately resist, Lei Yu Ting turned to her with a dark expression and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the thief!" "Don't try to resist now."
Huh? The winner becomes the king and the loser becomes the thief? What Lei Yu Ting meant was that he wanted her to be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered together with him?
This... These immortals had been angering everywhere recently, so why were they in the same sewer as Lei Yu Ting?
Qiao Qiqi's current state could only be described with one word.
He wanted to cry, but there were no tears!
"Speak to Luo, and don't try to resist me for nothing!"
"Pah!" The door was slammed shut by the people who had come with them. She and Lei Yu Ting were tightly tied together with their backs facing each other.
Looking around, he saw that it was a house made of wooden shelves. The better the life of the people these days, the worse houses are to be found in the countryside, with cracks in the wooden and thatched roofs.
Just in time to kill the boredom and watch the sky...
What a tragedy! This was a huge tragedy. Qiao Qiqi silently cursed in his heart, just what sin had she committed?
The ruby ring was right beside her, but now that she was tied up by so many people, even if she got the ring, what use would it be …
"Idiot!"
Even though he could not see the real face, Qiao Qi knew that Lei Yu Ting's eyes were filled with an ominous glint.
"Yes!" Director Lei, after we get out, we have to properly clean up those bastards. " Qiao Qiqi was fanning the flames. The cold sensation of the woman's knife against her neck just now was still fresh in her mind. If she was allowed to leave, she would definitely give it to that woman … Oh, no, let Lei Yu Ting show that woman some color.
Steal. There was nothing in this world that she couldn't steal. As for fighting, it was best to let others do such small things.
"I'm calling you a fool! Didn't you graduate from MIT? "How could he be so stupid?"
Stupid? Lei Yu Ting had been scolding her from beginning to end?
What was wrong with her taking the check out to save her life in the nick of time? Could it be that he really wanted money more than his life …
"Ah, Director Lei, money is just worldly possessions, you should restrain your grief." Qiao Qiqi also did not know that the gangsters would not let them go once they took the money. How could he possibly anticipate all the happenings in the world?
"It's not that I don't want to part with the fifty million."
"Huh?" Then why was he so anxious just now? When he handed 50 million over to someone else, his heart was already in his throat.
"Do you really think I would come alone? At that time, I was only trying to stall for time until Yuwen Tao arrived. "Who knew that you, a fool, would so easily hand over your final bargaining chip to the enemy …" Lei Yu Ting was getting more and more irritated.
"I thought …"
"So why? Do you think that I am someone who cherishes money as if it were my life? "
Forget it, she had miscalculated this time. It was best to change the topic as soon as possible, lest it angered Lei Yu Ting again.
"Then, why isn't Yuwen Tao here yet?"
"He should be here by now." However, Yuwen Tao had previously been injured by that woman, so it was reasonable for him to be late.
"What are you doing!" Lei Yu Ting suddenly shouted.
Qiao Qi moved his head forward and bit onto Lei Yu Ting's arm.
"Sorry, the bite was a bit off." Actually, she had done it on purpose. Who told her to lie at Lei Yu Ting's place? Since she had gotten the chance, she might as well take the opportunity to bully him …
"You! "Be gentle!"
"Shh, don't scream! "My hands were tied, so I had no choice but to use my teeth to bite off the rope. Don't move …" If he had to wait for Yuwen Tao, he might as well do it himself.
It was not a good idea to stay here any longer. He did not know who this group of people's meeting was.
Bite it. She had already cleared so many hidden weapons and traps, so she wasn't willing to die here.
A red dot suddenly shot towards Qiao Qi Qi's face, then flew up to Lei Yu Ting's neck.
Qiao Qi stopped biting the rope and stared blankly at the red dot on Lei Yu Ting's neck.
Red dot. She recognized it. Wasn't this the aim of a sniper?
Could it be that these bandits were really going to tear the tickets?
"Be careful!" Qiao Qiqi abruptly flipped over and brought along Lei Yu Ting, who was tied up along with the rope.
Following the red dot on the ground, he saw a fully armed man standing on top of the roof.
The sniper took the gun away and signaled them not to make a sound. He then took out his walkie-talkie and said, "Brother Yuwen, we've found Director Lei's whereabouts. We'll be waiting for further instructions."
Qiao Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like Yuwen Tao had brought some people over.
After the sniper and Yuwen Tao finished talking, the sniper kicked through the roof and jumped down. Pieces of wood fell onto the ground like flower petals. Qiao Qi's reflexes allowed him to dodge behind Lei Yu Ting.
But the two of them had their backs to each other, how could she avoid them? As soon as she turned around, she coincidentally blocked Lei Yu Ting behind her. A large piece of wood fell from the sky, smashing her eyes into a daze.
The sniper landed in the broken house, took out his Swiss Army knife, and cut the rope that was wrapped around them.
Only then did Qiao Qiqi's hand regain its freedom. He used his hand to support his forehead …
"Annie, are you alright?" When Lei Yu Ting saw that her neck was also injured and that her head was injured, he instantly forgot about the matter of her handing over the cheque and wanted to take care of her for no reason.
When Qiao Qiqi saw that he had reached out a hand to her forehead, he dodged to the side. If he touched the human skin mask on his face, he would be in deep trouble …
"It's fine, it's fine." He should grit his teeth and endure the pain.
"Actually, you're just my secretary. Is there a need to do such a thing?"
Qiao Qiqi felt a buzzing in his head. Had she been smashed silly by a piece of wood? Why can't I understand what Lei Yu Ting is saying?
"If you help me block Wood, I will remember." She seemed to have seen Lei Yu Ting's gaze before.
The first time he saw Lei Yu Ting? In the car? The time he was robbed at the convenience store?
Care?
Tch... Such a small favor could move him.
However, she clearly didn't want to help him block the wooden log. She just wanted to hide behind him. Who knew that something like this would happen …
It was better if he misunderstood. After all, she couldn't just tell Lei Yu Ting that she originally wanted him to take the blow.
"Director Lei, as long as you're fine, that's good." As he supported his forehead, he gave Lei Yu Ting a concerned look. If she was asked to shoot a TV show, she would definitely win all the awards.
"Let's not talk about this yet. Yuwen Tao has already been set up? " Lei Yu Ting instantly changed back to the Lei Yu Ting who was emitting the aura of a king.
The sniper answered, "It's all ready. We'll wait for Director Lei to go out and finish off this bandit's nest. "
"Very good!"
Lei Yu Ting's lips curled up into a smile. It seemed like they were going to get serious this time.
