My face twitched when I heard him scold me. I almost cursed out loud, but I held it in.
Little Cherry shook her phone, and I glanced at it. It turned out Chief Qi had sent me a short video. It looked like an IP location map. The red dot in the video was blinking. Although it was faint, I could still see it.
"Brother, calm down. I can agree to your request, but you have to ensure the safety of the hostages," I said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I never go back on my word," he agreed, his voice filled with joy.
Apparently, he had achieved his goal. If I lost my arms, I would be a cripple. Even if I became an armless hero, I wouldn't be able to deal with Blood Demon. In other words, I would die sooner or later.
"All right, how can I prove to you that I've lost my arms?"
I tried my best to stall for time since Chief Qi had sent a car here. I checked the distance and found that it wasn't too far away. If I could get there in time, I could stop this tragedy from happening.
"It's very simple. After you're done, take a photo and send it to me. After I verify that there's no mistake, I'll naturally let them go. If you dare to play any tricks, then they'll only end up dead. So think carefully," he said unhurriedly.
"All right, remember what you've said." I hesitated for a while then made up my mind.
"Right, I'll give you ten minutes. If you're late, you'll have to bear the consequences!
Also, don't try to play tricks with me. It's useless! "Then, he hung up the phone.
My heart was pounding. It was going to be troublesome this time. If there were spies nearby, the moment I got into the car, my sister-in-law and the others would be in danger.
If he called me again, it meant that their lives weren't in danger. No doubt, it was good news.
I called Chief Qi and asked him not to send a police car here. I didn't want the other party to know about this. I was surprised that Chief Qi had considered this factor. He called for a private car and sent me the driver's phone number.
Soon, I got in touch with the driver. He was about to arrive at the commercial building. However, I couldn't get in the car openly, so I sneaked out from the back door and got into his car.
To prevent the other party from creating a diversion, I asked Liu Jie to call Director Du and ask him to come here as soon as possible.
That was the only way to make sure nothing would go wrong.
What surprised me was that the location of the target was clearly shown on the GPS.
"Driver, please drive faster. I'm in a hurry," I said.
"Okay, no problem." He knew the situation was serious.
Since we were in Kuncheng, there was a lot of traffic jams. The agreed time arrived quickly. Even though the driver had to step on the gas, he was still half way to the destination. During this time, Liu Jie and the others had sent me messages, asking me to come up with all kinds of solutions.
One of them said that they could photoshop a photo to fool the other party. However, they couldn't find a high-level expert. In the end, Qu Miaoting thought of a good idea. Since the other party said that he would send a photo, he didn't say how he would send it. So, we could just send him an MMS. There weren't many people who used MMS nowadays, so it was easy to receive a photo that couldn't be opened.
Liu Jie had sent me one. According to her instructions, I sent a picture to Liu Yuhan's phone. This method was a little risky. If the other party saw through it, I might hurt my sister-in-law and the others. However, as things had come to this point, I had no other choice.
Just as I was worrying, the phone rang again.
I waited for a while and picked up the call. My voice was weak. "Hello."
"Kid, why haven't I received your photo yet?" He sounded discontented.
"I sent it a long time ago. Didn't you receive it?!
F * ck! Are you trying to trick me?! "I cursed angrily. I couldn't hide my anger.
Hearing my tone, the guy was overjoyed. "Kid, how many arms did you lose?!"
"Of course I lost one. Otherwise, why would I call you?" I continued to stall for time. Seeing that I was getting closer to my target, I was extremely excited.
"Kid, are you trying to trick me?
Why didn't you open the photo?! "He asked suspiciously.
"Maybe the phone signal isn't good. If you don't believe me, let's open a WeChat video call. I'll let you see it with your own eyes. That should be fine, right?!" I said disapprovingly.
"Aha, no need, no need. Are you not going to save the other girl?" He asked me again.
"Just release one first. Then, I will believe you!" I said firmly.
"Aiya, what's the rush? These two girls are as beautiful as flowers. You want me to release one? I don't even know how to choose. Why don't you continue to break the other arm? I promise that they will go back unharmed. What do you think?" That despicable tone of his was a typical example of a vile person intoxicated by success.
I vaguely heard that besides the two girls, there seemed to be someone else.
"Motherf * cker, are you messing with me?
Didn't we discuss it before? "I scolded angrily.
"You also know that it was before. I thought that your feelings for them were stronger than gold, and that you would cut off your own arm without hesitation. Who knew that you would be so hesitant and have no manliness at all. That's why I changed my mind. Now, you don't have the right to bargain with me. Hurry up and cut off the other arm. Then, you can reunite immediately. Otherwise, you can wait to be separated forever."
As expected, it was just as I thought. This guy was just a glib talker. Don't mention cutting off my four limbs, even if I was decapitated, he still wouldn't let them go.
This feeling of being in a passive position was really annoying. I said sternly, "Then swear now!"
