Chapter 515, Kidnapping
Amidst the noise of the student men and women, the sound of a dead branch being stepped on and broken was not obvious, Ren Xiaosu skillfully opened the safety on the automatic rifle in her hand and loaded a full magazine, the orange-colored bullets looked heavy and textured under the illumination of the campfire.
Ren Xiaosu looked up, and suddenly realized that Zhou Yingxue had also pulled out her pistol, “You heard it too?”
“No ah,” Zhou Yingxue was surprised: “Hear what? I was watching you take the gun, so I took it. Isn’t it going to rob this group of Green Harvest students, I see that they are also quite rich in appearance ……”
Ren Xiaosu: “???”
How did it become about robbing the students?
He said breathlessly, “Alert, someone is quietly approaching, I don’t know if they are coming after us or this group of students, the probability of them coming after us is smaller.”
In Ren Xiaosu’s opinion, after all, they had just made such a big deal in Barrier 73, Zhou Xilong was an extremely important figure in the Zhou Clan even though he wasn’t the ruling leader.
Later on, he had given the recording to Luo Lan, so in case Luo Lan slipped up, it was possible that people from the Zhou Clan would hunt them down.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that the probability of this uninvited guest coming after them was small because he felt that Luo Lan should not misspeak, which was a form of trust in Luo Lan’s ability to do his job.
That fatty was unorthodox, but he was always reliable.
Zhou Yingxue whispered, “Then in case of a fight, if this comes for the students, do we help or not?”
“Don’t help,” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “Survival of the fittest in the wilderness, why should we help those who are not related to us?”
Zhou Yingxue bristled, “Master you are really cold ah ……”
At this moment, the people lurking and arriving were getting closer and closer, the woods were illuminated by the campfire, Ren Xiaosu had already seen that between the shadows of the swaying leaves, there were dark shadows approaching continuously, and there was more than one person!
“Pay attention to the surroundings, it’s a team action,” Ren Xiaosu said in a cold voice, “Be careful of being surrounded, the number of people is expected to be between 10 and 20.”
However, what made Ren Xiaosu’s heart feel a little bit more at ease was that the other party was indeed rushing towards that group of students, himself and Zhou Yingxue were just laying down the gauntlet.
“What do we do now?” Zhou Yingxue asked.
“Go, before they focus on us,” Ren Xiaosu said.
As a result, before they could leave, Ren Xiaosu heard footsteps coming from their vicinity as well, and it seemed that the people from this squad had surrounded them.
Ren Xiaosu frowned, “It’s a well-trained team, why would this kind of troop appear here?”
The other party was clearly not some bandit-level petty thieves acting on impromptu plans, but rather a premeditated ambush operation.
Right at this moment, the squad closest to the students had slowly walked out from the woods in a fan formation, clearly not putting this group of students in their eyes, this was to be a clean sweep.
However, the other side did not shoot, Xu Qi was the first student to discover the enemy, as he stayed awake.
But before he could pick up his gun, he realized that he was already being targeted by several black holes in the muzzles, and couldn’t move.
Someone with a gun slowly walked up to him and kicked the gun away from his side, while the alcohol in the other students was instantly gone and they hadn’t reacted to what was going on.
Someone hurriedly said, “Is there some kind of misunderstanding, we are just ordinary students.”
Only to see this group of uninvited guests all wearing combat boots, IOTV bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, firearms are also relatively expensive M16A2, firearms effective range of 900 meters, helmets and night vision, walkie-talkies.
This set down the price alone is not something that bandits can afford to buy, nor is it something that bandits can buy.
Ren Xiaosu was looking at the soldier in front of him with interest at this moment, since the other party wouldn’t let him run, he looked at Zhou Yingxue next to him, “Can you tell where this is from?”
“Mercenaries,” Zhou Yingxue said, “Specializing in dirty work.”
There were organizations like the Anjing Temple that dispensed justice, and naturally, there were also organizations that specialized in doing dirty work, of course, these organizations had always carried out the elite soldier plan, and all of them were notorious outlaws within the organization.
Ren Xiaosu nodded his head, after coming to the Central Plains, he had indeed gained a lot of insight.
He secretly counted the number of people, 15 people, not even the number of a combat squad, but the other party was very closely coordinated.
At this moment, the leader of this group of mercenaries looked at Xu Qi, then handed him a satellite phone and said, “Call your father, 10 million dollars ransom, cash, we need it in 7 days.”
At this point, all the students understood that this was not a misunderstanding, the other party had come prepared, this was a professional kidnapper.
The boys who had previously said they had guns with them and were showing them off to the girls didn’t dare to speak.
In fact there were still some of them who had pistols hidden on them, but they didn’t even have the courage to draw them.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that this was normal, after all, the other party had brought more guns than them.
Some people even subconsciously looked over to Ren Xiaosu’s side, only to realize that Ren Xiaosu and the others were also being pointed at by 6 people with guns, and immediately despaired.
Xu Qi calmly said, “Want cash? Do you dare to fetch it?”
“You don’t have to worry about how to fetch it,” the mercenary said, “We’ve come over with such vigor, we can’t say goodbye without earning some money back.”
“If we give it, will you let us go back?” Xu questioned.
“Of course we will, we are very trustworthy,” the mercenary laughed.
“Aren’t you afraid that the knights will hunt us down?” Xu Qi asked again.
“It’s not like the knights are selling their lives for your Xu family,” the mercenary sneered.
These words, in turn, caused Ren Xiaosu to be a little surprised, could it be that the Knights Organization and the Green Harvest Group were still not the same thing? It seemed as if this mercenary knew more about the inner workings.
Xu Qi thought for a moment and said, ”You guys were able to follow me here and time it so accurately, can I ask who revealed the information, if you tell me, I’ll immediately call my father. You see, I am in your hands, and there is only such a small request.”
The mercenary was happy, he pointed towards the fat man beside Xu Qi, “Your good friend, we promised to give him 2 million dollars after the deed is done.”
Xu Qi looked towards the fat man beside him and shook his head, “Seeking skin with a tiger.”
All the students looked at the fat man, there was some disbelief in everyone’s expression, they didn’t expect there to be a mole amongst their own people, to know that we can all be classmates ah!
At this time they recalled that it was also this fat man who made everyone drink, so it was premeditated.
The fat man panicked: “It was my uncle who told me to do this, it wasn’t me who wanted to do this.”
The mercenary laughed, “Isn’t money what you want? That’s not what your uncle wanted.”
Ren Xiaosu shook his head, it seemed that the interior of the Green Harvest Group had changed over the years of time, and had long since ceased to be anything but ironclad.
Of course, he couldn’t tell what exactly was going on internally.
However, it looked like the other party did not intend to leave any survivors, because the other party was too unscrupulous after taking control of the situation.
