Chapter 2308 — The Kidnapping Strikes Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Well done!" An Liwen looked at Big Mule and Li Biaohan and praised them. "Li Biaohan, you chose this target very well—consider it making up for your blunder in choosing Wang Xinyan last time! Have you found the third target?"
"Brother Wen, I've found the third target too. But she's not from our school. I was afraid that picking another rich young master from our school would draw police attention, so this time I chose a rich girl from the nearby University of Economics!" said Li Biaohan.
"Oh? A girl?" An Liwen's heart gave a lurch. He asked, "You're certain there's no problem with this rich girl? She's not Wei Zhao's mistress or some such, is she? Don't tell me we've run up against that thing again!"
"Absolutely not. She looks like a dinosaur out of Jurassic Park—Wei Zhao would never give her a second glance!" said Li Biaohan. "And the woman's private life is a mess. She keeps several pretty-boy toys, and she's always out at bars and nightclubs!"
"That's good!" An Liwen nodded in relief. "A tramp like that would never catch Wei Zhao's eye! Is her family very rich?"
"Quite. She's an only daughter, but her father is a gang boss who runs an underground casino in the South District—a man of some influence..." Li Biaohan explained.
"Oh, a small-time thug, nothing to worry about." An Liwen did not take him seriously in the least. How could a little hoodlum running a casino compare with the Fire Wolf Gang?
"However, the rich girl has a close guard at her side. From what our investigation shows, the guard should be a cultivator, though we don't know his exact strength," said Li Biaohan.
"No matter. He can't be all that strong, I'd wager. Make your move!" An Liwen said to Big Mule. "But this time remember: twenty million. A casino owner is bound to keep plenty of cash on hand—we might as well take it!"
"Yes!" Big Mule nodded in acknowledgment.
And so, the next day, the daughter of the famous Gambler of the underworld was kidnapped. Word had it that a Yellow-Rank guard stood at her side, but before the kidnappers the guard was nothing but a one-move kill—kicked flying with a single foot, left sprawled on the ground unable to move, gravely wounded!
Gambler moved in the underworld. His daughter had been seized and his Yellow-Rank guard beaten, and after his shock and fury, once he calmed down, he grasped one thing: the kidnappers were formidable. Even a Yellow-Rank guard had been felled in a single move—he might have many underlings, and his casino might have another Yellow-Rank expert watching the floor, but none of them were a match for such men. They would not even fill the gaps between their teeth!
So arm-wrestling with them was out of the question! But call the police? Gambler naturally would not do that either. After all, he was a big brother of the underworld—having his daughter kidnapped was shameful enough, and now he should go to the police too? What would the rest of the underworld think?
Besides, he judged the kidnappers' mindset by the thinking of an underworld man, and feared that if he called the police, the kidnappers might in their rage tear up the ticket and kill her. So after hesitating again and again, Gambler decided to pay. What was twenty million, after all?
Gambler gritted his teeth and paid. That twenty million was precisely the sum of cash he could lay his hands on at present.
And so Gambler's daughter came home safe as well, and Gambler finally set his heart at ease. (To be continued) RQ
