Flipping Out!

Half an hour later.

It was a little after one in the afternoon.

Shen Xiaoyan drove the Mercedes into a desolate wilderness. There were only a few warehouses around, very desolate. Not to mention people, there weren't even any cars nearby.

Shen Xiaoyan said, "Director Zhang, we're here."

"This is it?" Zhang Longjuan looked around.

"Yes, this is the address. Do you want to contact the police?"

Zhang Longjuan shook her head, "That would only make the situation worse. Didn't you notice that they didn't even mention not letting us call the police when they threatened us? Ordinary kidnappers would say something like that, at least to scare us, but they didn't. Obviously, they have nothing to fear. Even if we call the police, I'm afraid it won't do any good. I called the police the day the Threatening Letter arrived, but it's been two days, and the Police haven't even made a move. They just dismissed me with a line about the letter being a prank. Doesn't that explain the problem? It couldn't be clearer."

"So we're just going in like this?" Shen Xiaoyan asked.

"Just like this. Let's go." Zhang Longjuan opened the door and got out of the car.

"But what if we give them the money, and your safety..." Shen Xiaoyan was still worried.

"I can't worry about that. Let's save Xiao Mei first."

"Otherwise, why don't you stay in the car with Little Dong? You can leave at any time. I'll go alone. Even if something happens, it won't implicate you."

"Are you looking down on your big sister?"

"I'm not. Your safety is something they specifically instructed us about..."

"You're here to protect me, so I have to take responsibility. Besides, if I don't go, they definitely won't agree. How will we save Xiao Mei?" Although Zhang Longjuan usually acted very 'promiscuous'. She never said anything serious, but when it really came down to it, she was very much like an older sister. The Twin Sisters weren't young, but Zhang Longjuan was at least a dozen years older than them.

After discussing it, they all got out of the car.

Dong Xuebin clutched his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Little Dong, are you alright?" Zhang Longjuan immediately asked.

Dong Xuebin nodded. "I can handle it. Don't worry about me."

He had donated 2000cc of blood before, so what was this? Dong Xuebin was just a little sore, but he didn't care at all.

The surroundings were empty.

There wasn't a single person, only a few warehouses.

Zhang Longjuan and Shen Xiaoyan walked in front, looking around.

Dong Xuebin followed behind them, limping on his leg, only able to follow slowly, unable to walk fast.

Ring Ring Ring, Ring Ring Ring, the phone rang. Zhang Longjuan 'touched' her pocket and pressed the answer button.

"Director Zhang, have you arrived?"

"You saw us? We didn't see you."

"Hehe, you'll see us soon. I'm glad you kept your word."

"Where's my bodyguard? Let her go. I've brought the money."

"It would have been better if you had done this earlier. It would have saved us the effort. But before that, have your two bodyguards throw out their guns and weapons."

Shen Xiaoyan heard this, touched her skirt, and threw the gun on the ground.

The man on the phone's Loudspeaker said, "There are knives too."

Shen Xiaoyan pondered for a moment, then took out two extremely small knives hidden in her shoes and threw them aside.

"What about the other bodyguard's? Do we have to keep urging you?" The man could obviously see them.

Shen Xiaoyan and Zhang Longjuan both looked at Dong Xuebin, but Dong Xuebin spread his hands, indicating that he didn't bring anything. Finally, he simply turned out both pockets and opened his coat towards the warehouse, where a telescope seemed to be reflecting light. Dong Xuebin's wounds immediately entered the other party's view.

The man on the phone seemed stunned for a moment.

They were probably shocked by Dong Xuebin. What kind of bodyguard is this, Mom? He came with serious injuries! Stitches, blood, fractured plaster, and abrasions! With this battered appearance, who can you protect? It's hard to even walk, right?

Zhang Longjuan slowly said, "Is that enough now?"

The man hummed, "Okay, wait."

The phone hung up, and a warehouse door not far away suddenly opened. More than a dozen men walked out, all between twenty and forty years old. Some held sticks, some held knives, but the most noteworthy were the last few, who were all holding Guns!

The group walked towards them.

Finally, they parted slightly, and another person came out from behind, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks.

"Director Zhang, we finally meet?" The man said with a smile. He seemed to be the leader of the group, and his voice was the same as the one on the phone!

Zhang Longjuan looked at him for a long time, "Do I know you?"

The man smiled and said, "You are a big shot, you definitely don't know me, otherwise I would be too honored."

Zhang Longjuan calmly glanced at them, "Spare me the nonsense, where is the person? One hand delivers the money, the other delivers the person!"

The man turned his head and clapped his hands gently.

Immediately, Shen Xiaomei, who was tied up with ropes, was dragged out by two people and pushed to the ground.

Shen Xiaomei felt a little pain, but didn't cry out. She looked up at Shen Xiaoyan and the others, her face a little ugly, "Sister! I told you not to come!"

Shen Xiaoyan quickly said, "How are you?"

Shen Xiaomei shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

The man said lightly, "Alright, bring the money."

Zhang Longjuan looked at them, "We've put down our weapons, shouldn't you show some sincerity too?"

"Okay." The man pressed his hand down, and the few people with Guns put them away.

Then, one of the Yellow Hair youths pulled Shen Xiaomei up from the ground, grabbed the rope on her back, and walked up, "Where's the money?"

Zhang Longjuan looked at Shen Xiaoyan.

Shen Xiaoyan raised the box in her hand and walked up as well.

The two met, and Shen Xiaoyan handed him the box. The Yellow Hair didn't leave, took it, and looked down to check. Confirming that it was indeed Two million US dollars, he turned his head and nodded to the other side.

The man hummed.

The youth loosened the rope and pushed Shen Xiaomei over.

Shen Xiaoyan quickly hugged her sister, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go," Zhang Longjuan said, about to turn and leave.

But in the next moment, the men behind the leader actually raised their guns again. Immediately, the roar of a car engine erupted behind the warehouse. A truck rushed out from behind. The truck was new, but Dong Xuebin and Zhang Longjuan recognized the driver as somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the same truck driver who had the accident at noon. He had a sinister look on his face and directly blocked Zhang Longjuan's retreat with the truck!

Shen Xiaoyan's face darkened. "What do you mean by this?"

The leading man smiled and said, "It doesn't mean anything. Let me ask our boss first. Sorry, you'll have to wait a moment."

Several guns were pointed at them.

Twenty or so people surrounded them.

And a truck was menacingly blocking them, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

The leading man started making a call, "Hello, Sixth Master!"

Sixth Master? Zhang Longjuan raised her eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said calmly, "Yes, what is it?"

"The money is in hand, two million US dollars, not a penny less," the man said.

"Good job. Is Zhang Longjuan there? Is she with you?" Sixth Master asked softly.

"Yes, she's here. I wanted to ask you what to do. Should we let them go or..."

"Since they're already here, let them stay."

"All of them stay?"

"All of them. I heard there are two pretty twin sisters? You can do whatever you want with them. But don't kill anyone, or it'll be difficult to clean up. As for that Zhang Longjuan, none of you touch her. I want to have a good taste of that woman."

The man laughed and said, "Okay, I understand!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, the leading man snapped his fingers!

All the thugs understood and immediately surrounded them, with several of them tightening their grip on their guns.

Seeing their appearance, Zhang Longjuan and the Twin Sisters realized that they had taken the money but didn't intend to let them go!

Shen Xiaomei said anxiously, "I told you not to come!"

Shen Xiaoyan quickly untied the ropes on her sister, "Quick, get Director Zhang out of here!"

"It's too late! There are too many of them!" Shen Xiaomei also wanted to, but the two of them couldn't protect Zhang Longjuan at all. There was nowhere to escape!

"You guys go! I'll hold them off!" Shen Xiaoyan shouted!

Shen Xiaomei said, "You can't hold them off alone! I'll stay with you!"

Zhang Longjuan didn't move, looking at the gun muzzles in front and the truck behind. Her eyes narrowed into a charming slit as she said to the group, "Let my three bodyguards go back, and I'll stay."

"Director Zhang!"

"Director Zhang, what are you doing!"

Zhang Longjuan smiled. "They won't kill me, don't worry."

Shen Xiaoyan said, "You're a woman; if you fall into their hands..."

Zhang Longjuan chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm already this old, what am I afraid of? You guys leave first, listen to your big sister."

However, the leading man smiled and said, "Sorry, Director Zhang, now that we're here today, no one can leave."

Zhang Longjuan stared at him for a moment, "Isn't this going too far?"

The leading man said, "We've all been around casinos and know about your beginnings in Macau many years ago, Director Zhang. We all admire you very much, but... who told you to offend Sixth Master? We have no choice but to wrong you a little."

Shen Xiaoyan still didn't give up, pulling Zhang Longjuan towards the Mercedes.

But the truck behind them immediately moved, seemingly about to crash into them.

Helpless, they had to stop, looking around with gloomy faces, without any way out. But at that moment, Dong Xuebin suddenly moved. While everyone's attention was on Zhang Longjuan and the others, Dong Xuebin limped towards the gun that Shen Xiaoyan had just thrown on the ground, wanting to pick it up!

Everyone laughed when they saw this.

Still trying to resist in this state?

They had witnessed Shen Xiaomei's fighting ability and believed that the other Twin Sister wouldn't be much worse, so their attention was all on the women, and they didn't take Dong Xuebin seriously at all. Mainly because of his injuries, the cast, and his limping leg... he looked too harmless.

No one considered Dong Xuebin a threat.

With those injuries, he'd probably fall over without even being touched!
