Chapter 494: The Taste of Death
Chapter 494: The Taste of Death
Ah Mei, seeing that no one was willing to save her, had no choice but to beg Wang Huilan for help: "Sister, save me. Talk to the boss and ask him to take someone else hostage."
Wang Huilan rolled her eyes at her. Didn’t she see she was also being held hostage?
Did she have the ability to ask Jiang Haidong to take another hostage?
Besides, even if she hadn’t been taken hostage, she wouldn’t have saved her.
During last night’s dinner, she had spoken up for Ah Mei only to be pestered by Ah Sheng herself, but when Ah Sheng grabbed her, did Ah Mei even care?
How bold must she be to think that she would still save her?
Seeing Wang Huilan remain silent and even rolling her eyes at her, Ah Mei, desperate, whispered: "If you don’t make Jiang Haidong let me go, I’ll tell everyone outside that you’ve joined the gang, that you’re one of them—that—"
"Swish!"
Ah Mei lowered her head, unable to believe the knife penetrating her chest, she didn’t want to die; that’s why she threatened Huilan—Mom said she was her servant and could take the front line in any matter.
But why didn’t Wang Huilan take the front line for her, and yet she had to die?
She was supposed to live a while longer, yet she had experienced the taste of death prematurely.
Ah Mei’s eyes widened as she fell.
The person who threw the knife was naturally Lao San.
They must be colluding. Otherwise, why would Wang Huilan so obediently let Lao San take her hostage? They must be planning to escape together once they get the chance.
Because she had assumed Wang Huilan was colluding with Lao San, she attempted to threaten Wang Huilan to save her and have Jiang Haidong switch hostage targets, forgetting that by threatening Wang Huilan, she was also threatening the human trafficker leader, Lao San.
Was Lao San someone who tolerated threats?
Naturally, threatening Lao San resulted in her being silenced.
Wang Huilan cursed in her heart, calling Ah Mei a foolish pig—taken hostage and still daring to make such reckless moves, was she not seeking death?
Almost concurrently as he threw the knife, Lao San’s hand swiftly moved a handgun to press against Wang Huilan’s temple.
Feeling the cold barrel against her temple, Wang Huilan suppressed her panic inside.
She didn’t want to escape with Lao San. She would rather stay behind and be rescued with the other girls.
She knew that Ah Mei had accidentally spoken true about Lao San’s intentions because she could see Lao San truly wanted her to go with him. Still, she was also certain when danger arose, Lao San would surely push her forward as a shield.
Observing Wang Huilan’s gaze, Lao San kindly explained, "She was too noisy!"
Just like that, no one dared to shout out again that Wang Huilan was a human trafficker.
Upon seeing his hostage killed by Lao San, Jiang Haidong quickly let go of the limp Ah Mei, trembling as he tried to grab another girl as a hostage.
But as he reached out, the girl smashed her bag onto his hand.
There was a cracking sound—Jiang Haidong’s hand broke.
Jiang Haidong cradled his hand and screamed, only to be silenced by Lao San shouting, "Shut up!" He clenched his teeth and mouth firmly, but sweat as large as beans kept rolling down from his forehead.
However, with this, his attempts to grab another hostage became impossible.
The girl who used her bag to hit was astonished at her own action; she had merely grabbed and swung her bag instinctively to avoid being caught by Jiang Haidong. But did she really have that much strength?
And besides, her bag was soft. Even with great strength, you couldn’t really injure someone with a soft bag, let alone break a man’s hand!
