I was very curious about who they really were.
They were clearly after the heart core. They wanted to kidnap Grandpa Bai and use him to demand the heart core from me.
But their operation had failed. What they had not expected was that Grandpa Bai was actually a skilled fighter. In the end, he had taken down all those people by himself.
He had actually called me directly, offering me two million to hand over the heart core. He had even given me an address and told me to bring the heart core there myself.
I was a little stunned. They did not have any leverage at all, yet they dared to say and do something like this. What exactly were they relying on?
"You're not really going to meet them, are you?" Ye Jinghong asked.
Before I could answer, Jiang Xiaohui said, "Why not? I'd really like to see what kind of idiot crawled out of the woodwork." Jiang Xiaohui also found them rather ridiculous. Just by moving their lips, they were so confident they could trade two million for the heart core.
Ye Jinghong frowned. She said she felt they were being used as someone else's pawn. Perhaps they did not know anything at all. As for why they had gotten involved, it was probably just for money or some other reason. She suspected they were merely ordinary people, perhaps people completely unrelated to our circle.
But I felt we should still make the trip. Even if they really were ordinary people and had been used as pawns, as Ye Jinghong said, I still wanted to see who was holding the gun behind them. Only by going could we find the answer.
"Fine, I'll go with you. Xiaohui, you and Mr. Wu stay here and protect Grandpa,"
