Chapter 123: You Might as Well Go Find a Dog
"I have to say, you’re quite the romantic. What does a kidnapping have to do with you? Too bad you had to play the hero, so sorry to say, but you’ll have to pick a way to die!" The bald-headed robber looked at the two who were tightly tied up, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and started smoking in the van.
Hearing the words of the bald-headed robber, Lin Tian felt a jolt in his heart.
He chuckled inwardly, "As expected, these robbers aren’t here to rob a bank at all, just like I thought, they came to kidnap Bai Shishi!"
"Perhaps, they knew Bai Shishi would go to the bank from the start, so they laid an ambush there early, using the pretense of a bank robbery to kidnap Bai Shishi!"
Since this group had planned it, and they knew Bai Shishi would definitely go to the bank,
where did they learn this information from?
It seemed like it was only me and Bai Shishi in the office at the time?
Or is there someone watching Bai Shishi?
Exposing her whereabouts?
If there really is an insider, it appears this matter isn’t as simple as it seems, and this person is hiding very deeply, not someone like Wang Ba.
For a moment, various thoughts bubbled up in Lin Tian’s mind, making him ponder while feeling an invisible net closing in on Bai Shishi...
Lin Tian silently vowed, "Once this is resolved, I’ll find a way to uncover all the masterminds targeting Miss Bai."
"Didn’t expect you guys to know Miss Bai?" Lin Tian silently vowed, and though his face was expressionless, when he uttered this line, it didn’t arouse the bald-headed robber’s suspicion.
The bald-headed robber burst into loud laughter, saying smugly, "Know her? Of course, I know, Xianglong Tea House’s Bai Shishi, how could I not know?"
"Are you sure you know her?" Lin Tian chuckled inwardly.
Is this bald-headed robber still pretending?
If he claims to know Bai Shishi, why was he hesitant at the bank?
It seems this robber leader isn’t dumb; he knows how to beat around the bush to get information out of me.
Immediately, Lin Tian felt like teasing the robber.
"Enough nonsense!"
Hearing Lin Tian’s mocking words, the bald-headed robber was infuriated, as this kid, though captive, kept rambling.
"Kid, don’t bullshit me, I admit I can’t recognize this woman clearly, but someone can!"
"So, no need to bullshit me!"
The bald-headed robber gave a wicked smile, "How about you, any preference on how to die? The brothers will try to meet your request!"
"Yes!"
Faced with the bald-headed robber’s question and the situation, most people would be scared to death, perhaps even pleading. Yet, Lin Tian was smiling.
"Oh?"
The bald-headed robber looked at Lin Tian as if he were an idiot, suddenly interested, "Tell us, how do you want to die?"
"I heard dying on a woman is the happiest way for a man!"
Lin Tian spoke earnestly, "I wonder if you can grant me this?"
"Haha, you really are a romantic!"
The bald-headed robber laughed loudly, which set off a round of laughter inside the van.
Bai Shishi, however, looked down without saying a word, her face slightly red, her slender fingers nervously intertwining from fear and tension.
"I’m serious!"
Amidst the laughter, Lin Tian still spoke earnestly.
"No problem, once we deliver the person and get the money, we’ll find some women for you, make sure you die happily!"
The bald-headed robber really didn’t want to entertain whatever stupidity Lin Tian was thinking, waving him off impatiently.
Having lost interest in Lin Tian, the bald-headed robber turned his gaze to the silent Bai Shishi, smiling wickedly, "Didn’t expect the target to be so beautiful!"
"Why... are you capturing me... I’m not Bai Shishi!" Bai Shishi, though silent all the way, understood perfectly.
From Lin Tian’s unusual words and actions at the bank, along with what the robbers said in the van, she understood the situation. The robbers wanted Bai Shishi, but Lin Tian’s act made them mistake her for Mei Ruyan.
"Is she really Bai Shishi?" The bald-headed robber felt doubtful, but showed nothing on his face, "Capturing you? Haha, what could we possibly want by capturing you?"
The bald-headed robber grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth from long-term smoking, "If you’re not Bai Shishi, what do you have that would make us capture you?"
"I... I don’t know!" Bai Shishi said softly, curling up.
With the leering eyes of several men around, as a woman, she couldn’t help but feel frightened, fearing they might do something inhumane.
Thinking of this, Bai Shishi felt a chill, knowing she was so beautiful and sexy, often a topic among men, not to mention these vicious robbers.
"You’re not thinking... you’re not thinking..." Bai Shishi asked timidly, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, looking at the bald-headed robber’s gaping mouth, yellowed teeth, and the bad breath from speaking too close, she felt a desperate urge to die.
If violated by such a person, she really wouldn’t want to live, let alone there were several others in the van besides the bald-headed robber.
Rather than being violated by them, she wished she were dead already!
"Thinking what?"
"Oh, don’t cry, beautiful lady, rest assured, you’re so gorgeous, we’ll be gentle, haha!" The bald-headed robber’s wicked laughter echoed in the van.
"Boss, don’t keep it to yourself, let us have some fun too!" A robber sitting next to Bai Shishi, unwilling to be left out, said.
Even as he spoke, his hand couldn’t help but reach towards Bai Shishi, clearly enamored by her beauty.
"You, don’t touch her, orders from above, this chick can’t be touched!"
"If you act rashly, don’t blame me for not warning you, watch your head!"
The bald-headed robber saw his companion getting playful and touched her, warning all by scaring them straight.
"Oh, got it!"
Appearing frightened by a "watch your head,"
The robber beside Bai Shishi immediately retracted his hand, and whether due to nerves or fear, the sound of someone swallowing echoed in the van.
The bald-headed robber raised his wrist to check the time again, "Stay sharp, once this goes down, there’ll be plenty of money for you to spend, do whatever you want then, even with a dog, I won’t care!"
"Pfft!"
"Haha!"
Lin Tian, who had held back his laughter for so long, couldn’t resist the power of "even with a dog, I won’t care" and burst out laughing.
