Chapter 152 - The Kidnapping (2/2)

Obviously, these guys didn't want to accidentally shoot someone.

Halia glanced at Mother Wu and saw the terrified expression on her face. If worse came to worst, she had to, at least, help this woman escape.

So, when the kidnappers had their guard down, she quickly flipped the man that was holding onto her and hooked her arm around the neck of the man that had Mother Wu. The man subconsciously reached for his neck and let go of the middle-aged woman.

”Run!” Halia screamed.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens suddenly echoed from the distance. Halia listened in surprise, were the police there to save them? How did they know so quickly?

Halia watched as the middle-aged woman hobbled away, but, just as she saw the flashing lights of a police car approach, someone hit her from behind and she fainted.

By the time she woke up again, she was bound and gagged inside the back of a van. Somehow the kidnappers had managed to escape with her. Halia's heart sank. But, she quickly realized it was just her and the 3 kidnappers in the van, plus a driver. If it was any consolation, at least, Mother Wu escaped.

...

Inside a restaurant at the casino, Father Feng was having lunch with Father Wu and Emerson when he received a phone call from an unknown number. He looked at it and frowned. ”It must be another marketing call,” he grumbled as he shook his head.

But, a few seconds after he placed the phone to his ear, his face began to turn pale.

Father Wu glanced at his friend worriedly. ”What's wrong?” he asked.

”It's Haili,” he said as he trembled and dropped his phone.

After a short pause, he said, ”She's been kidnapped...”

At that moment, Father Wu also received a phone call. It was from his wife. ”Oh dear, I'm at the hospital,” she cried.

”At the hospital? Why are you there? Are you OK?” Father Wu asked worriedly.

”I was with Haili today and some men tried to kidnap us! The police managed to save me, but Haili's been taken. They had guns! I'm afraid something bad will happen to her,” the middle-aged woman sobbed.

”Don't worry, I'm here with Henry. We'll make sure she gets back safely,” Father Wu comforted. His kind-hearted wife was always worrying about others.
