Chapter 677 Very Poor
"Big brother, why do all these cops look so pale, as if we’ve captured someone incredibly important? Which one of us could it be? Seeing them like this is just so funny to me. We were the ones panicking and running around just moments ago, and now it’s their turn. Doesn’t this feel like a huge reversal?
All thanks to you, big brother, for being so clever. You told us to stop running since it was pointless and to catch someone on the spot instead. Who knew, we might actually capture some high-ranking official. Now we just need to identify who it is, so we can all finally get out of here."
But even if we can’t find them, it’s no big deal. We can just use these hostages as shields. If the cops don’t dare to move forward and refuse to let them go, we’ll just randomly pick one to torture. If we happen to torture someone important, they’ll be the ones having a hard time, not us."
This was the common thought among them.
One of the underlings spat out these words, and everyone at the scene heard it clearly, especially Zhang Xu. He realized that they must be referring to him as the "important person" because after looking around, he was the only one of wealth and influence; everyone else had already been pulled back and was under protection.
He somewhat regretted coming to see the commotion. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been caught and brought over here, ridiculed and humiliated by this pint-sized man. Once he got out alive, he swore to make this kid kneel, apologize, and lick his shoes as penance for today’s actions.
He thought maliciously, but he couldn’t show it on his face. The consequences would be unimaginable if he did. Shen Dong, hiding above, watched everything unfold. Seeing the chaos below and knowing no one was coming for him yet, he worried, what if something went wrong?
At that moment, a message from his girlfriend popped up. It was Kang Yue, complaining of a stomachache and asking him to come back. With such chaos at the bar, how could he possibly return?
And what about Lin Qi? Leaving her alone here would be dangerous. He couldn’t just abandon her and walk away. Doing so would show disregard for others and the bar itself, so he had no choice but to stay. As for what to do next, that was a decision for later.
