Everyone was silent.
A young and beautiful life had disappeared before their eyes. Everyone was extremely shocked. They clearly felt what death was at a close distance. It was really close at hand. They might be the next one.
Now, no one dared to make a sound. Even if the scream was already in their throats, they gritted their teeth and held it in. Many people even bit their lips until they bled.
The leader nodded in satisfaction. He pretended to be sympathetic and gently placed the cherry blossom in his hand beside the hostess. He raised three fingers at the crowd.
"I'll give you three suggestions." He said in a clear voice.
" First, keep quiet."
" Second, listen to the command."
"Third, don't do anything out of line or make us misjudge.”He shook his finger." To be honest, we're here for money. In my eyes, everyone here is a large sum of money."”
Everyone immediately lowered their breathing, afraid that they would cause him to be dissatisfied and follow in the footsteps of the hostess.
The leader nodded again in satisfaction. He took out a walkie-talkie from his belt and ordered,"Team one is responsible for guarding the main gate. Team two, search the entire manor again to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net.”
After a pause, he continued," Teams three and four, bring everyone to the banquet venue. We'll gather and guard them. Find them quickly!"”
The expressions of many people in the crowd changed slightly. They had originally thought of resisting, but now it seemed that the other party had a large number of people. They were divided into five groups.
It seemed that they could only obediently let them do as they pleased. Hopefully, these militants were really as they said, only coming for money. However, when they heard the terrorist's last sentence, everyone was bewildered.
Looking for someone?
Who were they looking for?
The other two groups of terrorists quickly arrived at the reception hall. It was obvious that these militants were in groups of two. There were at least ten kidnappers who had entered the manor.
Other than the two groups of kidnappers who had rushed over, everyone was scattered around the manor, including Huang Qixing's family and servants, as well as the drivers of the banquet attendees. However, the number of people was much smaller. It was obvious that every gunshot before represented the death of a life.
The parlor was a little crowded. After everyone was seated, the leader took out a piece of paper from his pocket and glanced at the people in the parlor."Now, everyone whose name I have called, come to the front obediently.”
He glanced at the piece of paper, then his eyes began to wander around the crowd."Chen…"
Everyone perked up their ears to listen to his name, afraid that if they walked a little slower when his name was called, they would be rewarded with a spear.
However, the leader did not say anything after a long time. His eyes widened, and then he suddenly turned around and slapped the burly man who had rushed into the reception hall.
"Where is he?" he asked furiously.
"Who is it?" The burly man was stunned by his sudden slap and asked in confusion.
The leader knew that he had misspoken. He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. He gritted his teeth and asked,"Is everyone here?"
"They're all here. I've been guarding the door.”The burly man answered blankly as he subconsciously scanned the crowd.
When his gaze shifted to the corner where Lu Yun and the other two were, his eyes suddenly widened."Someone ran away!"
The leader couldn't hold it in anymore and slapped him again.""Hurry up and look for it!"
The burly man didn't dare to say another word. His eyes were red as he rushed out of the reception hall with his gun.
The leader thought for a moment and shook his head at Team 3 and Team 4.""You guys go together. No matter what, you have to bring them back.”
He added in a murderous tone,"Dead or alive!"
Hearing the leader's order, Wu Yan, who was sitting in the corner, was suddenly shocked.
No one else noticed Lu Yun and the others, but he had watched Lu Yun climb out of the window by the lotus pond.
He did not care about Lu Yun's life or death. In fact, he hoped that this bastard would be beaten into a sieve and be with his father, Lu Shangfeng.
However, Chen Suyan also crawled out of the window!
He struggled for a moment and finally lowered his head dejectedly.
He really couldn't muster up the courage to negotiate with these kidnappers who would kill at the slightest disagreement to save Chen Suyan's life.
When the leader of the kidnappers gave the order in the parlor, Lu Yun and the other two had already run into the cherry blossom forest.
At this moment, the three of them were drenched and covered in mud. They looked very sorry.
Lu Yun's shoulder was wrapped with a cloth. Judging from the material, it was obviously Chen Suyan's dress.
Just now, when the Flower Hall was in a mess and the kidnapper had no time to pay attention, Lu Yun dragged Lu Shangfeng and Chen Suyan out of the window. Then, they waded through the lotus pond and arrived at the cherry blossom forest.
On the way, they met the four kidnappers who were responsible for transferring the hostages. However, the other party did not see the three of them because of the dense bushes.
Although they were temporarily safe, the three of them were at their wits 'end.
Although it wasn't far from here to the manor's gate, even a fool would know that the other party would definitely send people to guard the gate to prevent anyone from escaping or breaking in.
This manor was a royal manor, so it was well defended. The surrounding walls were more than three meters high. It was obviously impossible to climb out barehanded.
"Call the police first and wait for rescue.”Lu Shangfeng said softly. He reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He glanced at it and said gloomily,"There's water."
Lu Yun also took out her phone and looked at it. She also looked depressed."Mine too."
Although the water in the lotus pond was not deep, in order to hide their whereabouts, the three of them almost hid their entire bodies under the water, only their heads sticking out. Under such circumstances, there was obviously no possibility of the phone being spared.
Chen Suyan shook her head." I'm afraid we don't need to call the police in this situation. The police should already know!"”
Lu Yun and Lu Shangfeng nodded. After thinking about it, it made sense. After all, this was the capital. It was already very strange for a group of terrorists to come here. If no one noticed, then the capital would really be full of loopholes. But how was that possible?
Lu Yun's face was full of worry." We can't stay here. We don't know when the reinforcements from the outside will arrive. Even if they do, it won't be easy to rescue them."”
Lu Yun kept thinking in his heart. He wanted to get the sniper rifle he had placed in the car. If he really couldn't, he could only force it! Life and death depended on fate, success or failure depended on the heavens!
