C35 Choose Who Dies First (1/2)
The alleyway was very long, with many twists and turns. After going around in all directions, they finally arrived at a village within the city.
Everyone around them knew that the place was an old, dilapidated area. The houses on either side of it were of the old-fashioned quadrangle, with square walls of flat gray stone that gave the impression of being cut off from the rest of the world. The floor was covered with stone slabs. Due to the passage of time, the floor was full of potholes, making it particularly difficult to walk on.
One of them was being carried by someone, while the other was being carried by someone. Gu Nan Yin and Zhou Muwan were being carried around by someone.
Gu Nan Yin didn't have time to think about who was going to harm her. Her body wasn't feeling well today, and she was also getting annoyed. Her stomach was churning, and she cursed as she walked past several alleys.
Until the two men grew impatient and shouted at her, ”Stop shouting, we're almost there.” Only then did she stop. She didn't care about anything else.
Ten minutes later, the two groups of people met at the entrance of a courtyard. The man in the lead knocked on the iron gate, which was soon ajar. Someone stuck their head out to look at them, then opened the gate.
Inside the main hall, Gu Nanyin and Zhou Muwan were tied to two wooden chairs and their hoods were opened.
Gu Nan Yin raised her head and saw Zhou Mu Wan by her side. She immediately ignored the seven men and shouted at Zhou Mu Wan, ”Sister Wan, how come you were also brought here? Who were they? Why are you capturing us? ”
Zhou Muwan let out a sigh and gestured for her to look around. Only then did Gu Nan Yin look around and let out a cold snort.
”Isn't it just that you want money? How much? I'm going to call Grandpa right now. Let me go quickly! ” The sudden change in tone caught everyone off guard.
Just as they were stunned, a man in sunglasses, wrapped in a black suit walked in. All of the men automatically moved to the side.
At this moment, no matter who it was, anyone who wasn't blind would be able to tell that this man in front of them was temporarily the boss of this group of people.
The man walked straight in front of Gu Nan Yin and Zhou Mu Wan, took off his sunglasses, and looked at them with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
”Miss Gu, you're wrong. We kidnapped you not to extort money, but to take your life.”
”Why?” Gu Nanyin frowned as she stared at him for a long time. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that the man in front of her was very familiar. It seemed …
”Oh!” That night, it was you who got stuck under my window in my house! ” She couldn't help but shout out.
Zhou Muwan had a dumbfounded expression, ”When did this happen?” Xiao Yin, why haven't you told me this before? ”
Before Gu Nan Yin could say anything, the suited man opened his mouth and said, ”Miss Gu has a good memory. It looks like your esteemed self might not forget too many things. But unfortunately, you still can't remember what happened five years ago.”
Gu Nan Yin was stunned. This person knew what happened five years ago?
With that, the man deliberately paused, turning his back to the two of them, as if he was talking to a group of men, or perhaps he was talking to himself. His cold voice slowly sounded, ”Make your move, remember, deal with it cleanly. Don't let anyone find out anything, or else …”
The suited man made sure he didn't catch the wrong person before hurriedly leaving.
Seven men surrounded Gu Nanyin and Zhou Muwan. One of them took out a dagger from his waist and slowly approached the two, ”Hehe, two misses, sorry, but you can choose to die first.”
She shouted, ”Let me go, I'll give each of you 10 million yuan in cheques. The unregistered ones can go to any bank in the world to withdraw money, but I won't be able to catch you.”
The man holding the sabre was stunned for a moment, then said, ”Miss Gu, don't say anymore, it's useless. If we let you go today, our boss won't let us go. We don't need to put our family in danger for the sake of the ten million. ”
