Chapter 834 - Taking Advantages From the Chaotic Incident (2/2)
A few minutes later, all the purchased convicts had boarded the buses. After Tang Xiu taking a seat in one of the SUVs, Mo Awu strode to the car’s window and whispered, “Unforeseen things happened, Boss.”
“What accident?” asked Tang Xiu with slightly creased brows.
“We just counted the number of people and except for Spectre, there should be 199 prisoners here since Spectre is currently with Jin Shi and Xue Sha to carry out their mission, so Spectre is not here,” said Mo Awu. “But from the number we just counted, there are a total 200 people here and Spectre is not around.”
“We got one extra?” Tang Xiu wore a strange expression.
“Yes. We got one more,” answered Mo Awu.
“Take some men and cross-check the list, Awu,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Find that extra and bring the person to me.”
“Understood!”
As the car started and left to the distance, Mo Awu, who boarded one of the cars, and other members of the escort began to cross-check the list in four buses.
Inside the third bus.
Chen Yan was feeling a bit restless as she quietly sat in the last row seat, with two female convicts at her sides. She knew who these two female convicts were as they held quite a name in the entire concentration camp 1319 for being vicious, merciless yet very strong characters. She even had witnessed one of them once tore apart the body of a black man with her bare hand, and thus added 218 years more to her sentence.
That, however, was not the chief reason she was feeling restless inside. What she was worried about was that young man she had just seen was definitely a very powerful man. Even she couldn’t tell whether she had been accidentally drawn into this huge incident was a blessing or a calamity.
‘No good.’
Chen Yan’s complexion abruptly changed when she saw two sturdy men holding the list and walked from the front while counting the number of people and calling out their numbers.
‘What should I do?’
Chen Yan’s mood turned chaotic. She wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but the other convicts around her may not allow her to escape. It was very likely that she would be captured in a flash and be killed on the spot.
Hei Xiong, who was holding the list, kept counting until the last row of seat. He watched the five female convicts and inquired with a heavy voice, “State your name and your prison number.”
“Ivy Cody, 0001184.”
“Candy, 0000634.”
Chen Yan took a deep breath and said, “Chen Yan, 0000460.”
“Wait a sec.”
Hei Xiong looked at the list and after skimming through it several times, he didn’t find the name of Chen Yan. His sharp eyes sized up Chen Yan and said in a deep voice, “Where the hell did you come from? Your name is not listed on the list of the purchased prisoners!”
Chen Yan steeled her heart and answered, “I accidentally saw a lot of prisoners coming out along the corridor, so I came out of my cell and joined everyone else. But I’m also perplexed, how stupid and confused I was to appear here.”
“You what?”
Hei Xiong was stunned silly and many convicts around him looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression.
After Hei Xiong collected himself, he responded and immediately ordered, “Come with me!”
“Where to?” asked Chen Yao quickly.
“To see the Boss!” answered Hei Xiong with a deadpan expression.
He made a phone call and the two SUVs in front then stopped. After which, Hei Xiong took Chen Yan to arrive outside the SUV’s window where Tang Xiu was riding, and then respectfully reported, “Boss, I brought the said person.”
Tang Xiu glanced at Chen Yan and lightly said, “Get on the car.”
Chen Yan walked to the other side of the car with some worries inside. After opening the door, she took a seat next to Tang Xiu but didn’t hurry to talk. She was so tense and restless inside and fully guarded against Tang Xiu in case this guy would suddenly attack her.
The convoy then began moving again.
Tang Xiu took out a cigarette from his pocket, ignited it and took and blew out two deep puffs. As he blew out the smoke, he slowly said, “Aren’t you owing me an explanation?”
Chen Yan’s lips squirmed a few times before she shook her head and said, “Umm, well… I dunno how to explain it, really. I was at a loss and baffled why I brought myself here.”
