Wealthy Chapter 400

“Don’t let them go!”

We were about to leave when someone shouted, and the crowd that had dispersed immediately gathered again as a middle-aged, red-faced man pushed his way into the crowd.

The middle-aged man had a young boy in his hands, who was struggling desperately and was excited to see Han Kun, but he didn’t look like Han Kun for help.

The middle-aged man pointed at Han Kun and said, “We’ve got your people, if you don’t pay up, I’ll have them shot!”

I asked, “What kind of people are these?”

The veins on Han Kun’s forehead burst up, clenching his fists, his eyes red.

“The people who are with me.” Han Kun said incoherently.

By the way, he had left the villa with a few people, and then those few people had escaped and he was the only one caught.

A light flashed in my mind and I asked, “Someone from the Ji family?”

Han Kun didn’t say anything and shouted to the other side, “What do you really want? Let the man go and we can talk.”

“Well, it’s not up to you now. We don’t want anything else, we just want money! Five hundred million, you give it out honestly and we’ll let you go!”

I cursed, “Five hundred million, why don’t you go rob? Oh, you’re really robbing. Do you know how much 500 million is? I’m giving it to you, do you dare to take it? The money is in the bank, as soon as you withdraw it, you will be arrested by the police in a minute!”

I really admired their courage to ask for five million and fifty million, but five hundred million, even if I wanted to give it, I couldn’t get that much cash together in such a short time.

The man sneered, “Oh, you just give it, never mind how I take it. You have one day to raise the money, or else you can wait to collect the bodies of your friends.”

I said, “What are you rampant about? I have your brother Tiezhu too.”

“Hahahahahahaha!” The man laughed loudly and wildly, “Do you really think that’s someone from our fortress? These people are hostages we have captured and raised for half a year to finally come in handy. We don’t have any Brother Tie Zhu at all, only Da Qiang is our big brother!”

“But Brother Da Qiang let this man get him killed, we must avenge Brother Da Qiang!”

“Yes, avenge Brother Da Qiang, beat him to death!!!”

The corners of the middle-aged man’s mouth twitched as he shouted for silence, then said, “We must avenge Brother Da Qiang, but now we must get the money first! You, drop the gun or I’ll drop the boy to death now!”

With that, he lifted the little boy high in his hand and was about to drop him to the ground, “Throw the gun away!”

I glanced at Han Kun, who said with difficulty, with his eyes closed, “Listen to him.”

“But ……”

“Xiaochao, put the gun down and I’ll tell you everything you want to know when we get back.”

Even if Han Kun hadn’t requested this, I would have dropped the gun, but Han Kun’s request made me feel very delicate, was this kid his son?

I threw the gun on the ground and immediately someone rushed up and picked it up and pointed it at me.

“You be careful, don’t f*cking go off.” I spat helplessly.

The man came up and kicked me in the stomach, making me and Han Kun kneel down and raise our hands above our heads, after which someone else rushed up and tied us up in knots with water-soaked cowhide rope.

The middle-aged man came up and stomped on my head and sneered, “You two behave yourselves, we’ll settle the score with you later.”

I struggled reluctantly, but the ropes were too tightly tied, and they were too loose, so I couldn’t break free.

The middle-aged man didn’t forget to take my mother’s birth certificate from Han Kun’s body, and Han Kun’s teeth were gnashing with hatred.

They put us in the woodshed of Qiu Daqiang’s house. I didn’t expect to go round and round, but just now I got Han Kun out of here and now we were back in this place.

They had put the rest of the hostages elsewhere, and Han Kun and I were held in solitary confinement. By this time it was dawn, and all the communication devices I had on me had been taken away.

These people were far more sophisticated than I had imagined, and it looked like they had left Han Kun’s phone off in the first place to trick me into coming here.

Both Han Kun and I had been tricked.

They tied us to the pillar so that we could not untie each other. This was quite a poisonous trick, these bandits were not stupid at all, but rather quite clever.

“You two don’t think about those useless things. Stay here and you will be given a chance to live later.”

I laughed, “You’re fooling the kids, I’ve killed your boss, what chance do I have to live?”

“Heh, we’ll at least make sure you’re left alive. Don’t make a scene, especially you, Han Kun, we’ve got your man!”

After tying me and Han Kun up, the two men closed the door and went out, the wind leaking from all sides of the woodshed and blowing so hard my ears were numb with cold.

As soon as the mountain bandits left, Han Kun leaned against a pillar, his eyes closed and not saying a word, not meaning to say a word to me at all.

Suddenly, Han Kun coughed dryly, then blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. I was all too familiar with all kinds of battle wounds, and if it wasn’t bleeding from the digestive tract, this blood was coming from his lungs, and either way it wasn’t good news.

He stared at the ceiling in dismay, like a struggling warrior who could barely hold on, and sort of wanted to cry, but then he saw me out of the corner of his eye and remembered with a jolt that I was there, and the momentary weakness he had just felt vanished.

I always felt that Han Kun had a story he hadn’t told me, a story about the jianghu back then, and about my parents, which he had kept inside himself and never told anyone.

“It’s nothing, the mucous membrane of the throat is bleeding.”

“The voice changes when the laryngeal mucosa bleeds, you can’t hear it at all.” I pointed out straight away that he was lying.

Han Kun laughed dryly, “Can’t fool you, you’re not the same kid you were back then. A little bit of stomach trouble, too much wine.”

In fact, I knew very well that if he could cough up blood, it would never be a stomach problem, but if Han Kun didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t say anything even if I tried to pry his mouth shut.

I said helplessly, “I won’t ask if you won’t tell the truth, you’re hiding something from me anyway.”

“I can’t figure out why you want to know the truth even if it’s a big deal.”

We both stared at the ceiling for a moment, then burst out laughing at the same time.

I said, “That’s my problem, the more you don’t let me know, the more I have to find out what’s going on.”

“You don’t even think about it, what you’re not allowed to know is because you can’t know and you’ve been told to find out. I told Yanran a long time ago that it was fine to marry Zhang Jun, don’t have children, children are a nuisance, she didn’t listen to me, and now it’s fine.”

I said irritably, “I’m not bad, at least I almost got you out.”

“No use getting me out if you can’t get the stuff, I’m still coming back. sh*t! It was that close!”

The Han Kun I remembered had always been calm and collected and had never been this grumpy.

“What the hell was that thing?”

I really didn’t believe it was my mother’s birth certificate… what did I need a birth certificate for when the person was gone? Was it hard to believe that hell needed a family register?

“It’s your mother’s birth certificate. This is very important, but don’t ask why, I can’t tell you, and I can’t make up a reason to fool you for a while. Little Chao, you let me calm down now.”

Han Kun was very agitated, going from grumpy to ending up in a way that was almost begging me.
