Chapter 188 - 187: Teammates as Useless as Pigs (Fourth Update)
Gu Xiaoqing’s gaze slowly scanned the interior of the car, looking for any tools they could use.
Then she despairingly realized, there was nothing at all.
No!
There were their two backpacks, messily opened, with the books and such scattered all over the place.
No wonder they didn’t bother tying the two of them up, it would have been too much trouble.
In this place, just the two of them alone couldn’t fly away even with wings.
Gu Xiaoqing felt a bit dejected.
Her body, tense from anxiety, softened, and her heartbeat accelerated.
At this moment, she began to feel very hungry, very thirsty, and very cold.
This was the depth of winter.
They didn’t have many clothes on.
The two of them had no choice but to continue holding each other for warmth.
Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes couldn’t relax; even if there was not a single chance, she had to find one.
She wanted to survive.
Gu Xiaoqing didn’t believe she was reborn just to be bullied to death by a thug; thus, she must not give up any opportunity for self-rescue.
Actually, there were still many opportunities.
These two people and this vehicle were all opportunities for her and Wei Ziyun.
But they would only have a chance when there was only one person left.
Gu Xiaoqing believed the boss was still staring coldly at the two of them.
So far, both she and Wei Ziyun had behaved no differently than ordinary high school girls.
Timid, weak, crying, and obedient.
This deceptive appearance was enough to make the two ruthless men lower their guard.
Who would think that inside a sixteen-year-old girl’s body lives a woman over forty?
Gu Xiaoqing lowered her gaze, looking down at the floor in front of her; right next to Wei Ziyun were their backpacks.
Hers had already been rummaged through, books torn to pieces and left there, the pencils and pens from the pencil case broken into several sections.
Gu Xiaoqing thought in despair, she had hoped to find a pen, at least the nib could be used as a weapon.
But obviously, these kidnappers were a step ahead, leaving nothing that could threaten them.
Look at how thorough they were.
Denying you every chance.
Then she looked at Wei Ziyun’s backpack.
This young lady’s backpack was even messier than Gu Xiaoqing’s.
There were barely any books, more of the things many girls liked for dressing up.
Gu Xiaoqing sneered.
Such vanity.
Wei Ziyun spent much of her day on her appearance, thanks to her grandfather being a commander, with a strong family background, she had acquired quite a few novel trinkets that girls like.
Take a look at this small makeup mirror, the trendiest comb, imported lipstick, and powder, what’s that?
Gu Xiaoqing blanked for a moment.
A small bottle, not large, but not small either.
It seemed familiar to her, yet she couldn’t recall the name.
That’s it.
Hair spray.
Hair spray!
Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes lit up.
Hair spray is a great thing.
Not to mention the chemicals in it that are harmful to the eyes, its principle might be similar to that of pepper spray in later years.
Its best function is that its contents can burn, and once ignited, this small bottle becomes a bomb.
It could explode.
Gu Xiaoqing shivered slightly.
She had a bit of an evil nature.
If it accidently blew up the kidnapper, but also killed Wei Ziyun and herself, that would be a huge loss.
However, it might be the only weapon.
What to do?
Lighter, none.
The bomb idea seemed vague again.
The car drove onto a bumpy dirt road, shaking violently up and down.
Gu Xiaoqing and Wei Ziyun couldn’t sit still, bumping around in the back of the car with the jolting.
Gu Xiaoqing struggled to grasp an armrest, tightly holding onto Wei Ziyun with one hand.
"Damn, what kind of road is this."
"Stop complaining, that’s just how it is here. Once we get past it, it’ll be fine. Stop whining, it’ll be three more hours before we arrive."
The boss was clearly very steady and patient.
Driving steadily, showing no irritation despite the bumping.
Mr. Wu was no longer sleepy. If he could still sleep in this condition, his mindset must be extraordinary.
Gu Xiaoqing had already seized the opportunity to grab the small bottle, hidden under her coat, heart pounding nearly out of her chest due to tension.
Suddenly, the car came to a stop.
Gu Xiaoqing and Wei Ziyun shrank back in fear.
Gu Xiaoqing silently thought in her heart, it’s not good, didn’t they say there were still three hours left?
How come they’ve arrived now.
None of her tactics were ready in time.
What to do?
"Boss, what’s up?"
"Nature’s call, damn it! I’m about to burst."
The boss opened the car door from the driver’s seat, and a cold blast of air rushed in, making Gu Xiaoqing and Wei Ziyun huddle closer.
"Keep an eye on these two. I’m going to relieve myself, have a smoke, and stretch my legs. My limbs are freezing."
The boss pointed at Gu Xiaoqing and Wei Ziyun.
Mr. Wu nodded.
"Boss, don’t worry. Hurry up, I need to go, too."
Mr. Wu remarked longingly, but Gu Xiaoqing could tell he wanted to get out and move around.
The boss nodded, shut the car door with a thud.
Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes focused on the wobbling key chain in the ignition slot, wondering if the keys were still in there.
She looked at the man’s silhouette under a tree about twenty steps away; he began unfastening his trousers, a cigarette between his fingers already lit, flickering like ghostly lights in the far darkness.
Gu Xiaoqing gauged the distance; this should be the best opportunity.
Only one man in the car, and that’s Mr. Wu.
If it were the boss alone in the car, Gu Xiaoqing wouldn’t dare act. That man’s coldness and ruthlessness were evidently more threatening than Mr. Wu’s.
Compared to him, Gu Xiaoqing would rather face Mr. Wu.
As an opponent, Mr. Wu was more aggressive.
Gu Xiaoqing tightened her grip on the bottle under her coat.
Mr. Wu was still humming a tune.
He cast a sidelong glance at the two.
Gu Xiaoqing whispered in Wei Ziyun’s ear, "No matter what happens, don’t scream, keep your mouth shut."
Wei Ziyun raised her head in surprise, staring into Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes filled with fearless courage.
"You..."
Damn it!
Gu Xiaoqing really wanted to curse; can’t this woman cooperate a bit?
This was life and death, how could she ask questions so loudly?
Was her brain waterlogged?
Commander’s granddaughter or not, Gu Xiaoqing really wanted to cry.
It’s not the god-like adversaries one fears, but pig-like teammates.
This seems to be a famous saying in later times.
Sure enough, Mr. Wu was drawn to the sound of Wei Ziyun, turning his head to stare at them, "What are you talking about?"
Wei Ziyun was so frightened she hid behind Gu Xiaoqing in a panic. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
