My Charming Wife - C351
“Chen Xi, long time no see.” Lin Feng pointed at my phone and said, “Give me …”
I gave him my cell phone. Immediately, he took it off and put it in his hot coffee cup, along with his own cell phone, but the battery went into his pocket. During this period, he didn’t say anything, and I didn’t say anything either. Ling Wei and I looked at each other, and from her gaze, I saw a hint, she told me not to act rashly …
Lin Feng pushed the coffee with the battery towards me and said: “Chen Xi, you’ve chased me so hard, do you want to drink a cup of coffee?”
“No need, what do you want? Just say it, because you don’t have time.”
“Feel free and straightforward. I need you to bring me out.” Lin Feng glanced at Ling Wei, took out another phone and pushed it in front of me, “Call your people, tell them that I entered the subway station to the east, prepare to cross the sea, and have the police and your people transferred away. You better behave, because …” He revealed an evil smile, “Ling Wei has a bomb on him. Although the bomb isn’t big, it’s powerful enough to destroy this coffee shop. Do you want to try?”
A bomb?
Glancing at Ling Wei, she actually nodded, my heart went cold! Of course, I was also very angry. Looking at the Lin Feng who was smiling evilly, I wish that Lardan could f * cking throw a missile at this place and blow this bastard away. It had to be said that at times like this, a person’s psychokinesis had indeed reached an astonishing level. As I thought of this, the coffee shop that was originally quiet suddenly started to clatter.
God, it was a gunshot. I saw three masked men rush into the coffee shop, each of them carrying a bulging bag and acting very roughly. The gun was fired by one of them, aimed at the ceiling, and said, “Quiet, don’t move, or kill.”
This scene happened within a minute. The customers and staff in the coffee shop were all shocked by this sudden scene. On the contrary, the three masked men weren’t idle. They split into three different groups and rushed to the back door as fast as they could to block the door. The other was focused on the front door as he observed the surroundings. The last one, the one who had just fired at the ceiling, moved quickly to pull down all the curtains and examine the interior of the café with practiced care.
The three masked men took their positions. After firing a few more shots at the ceiling, he said, “Everyone, I have no choice but to announce something. You guys are honored to be captured by us …” He should be some sort of boss. He was taller and stronger than the other two masked men. His skin was slightly jet-black and he spoke Mandarin fluently.
The coffee shop was in an uproar. There were cries of fear mixed with moans. The most panicked one was the angry young lady next door. She immediately went under the table and covered her ears with her hands. Ling Wei’s performance was extremely calm, and instead looked as if he was relieved. Although Lin Feng tried his best to maintain his calm, the beads of sweat that kept flowing out from his forehead still sold him out.
“Be quiet.” mascara roared, he wiped the barrel of the gun with his sleeves and opened his mouth: “That guy has cigarettes?”
The restaurant was silent as no one dared to respond.
“Everyone, please answer questions politely.” mascara raised his tone of voice, which gradually turned angry.
“I… “Yes…” A man who was closer to mascara raised his hand and passed a box of cigarettes with a trembling hand.
mascara was very satisfied: “Haha, not bad, thanks …”
mascara lit up a cigarette and took a drag, then said indifferently: “Everyone, I am a person that hates a lively environment, so I have to trouble you to be quiet, if not I will not ensure your safety.”
Before he finished his sentence, all the noise in the restaurant immediately stopped.
“Very good, I am very satisfied with your cooperation.” mascara nodded his head and suddenly changed his tone. “However, I don’t like the scene of too many people either. Your numbers have already far exceeded the scope of my liking, so …” At this point, the mascara took a long breath, took a long drag of his cigarette, and continued, “Some of you still need to leave immediately …”
Before the mascara even finished speaking, several women had already cried out in fear …
“Don’t misunderstand, my meaning is to let a portion of you leave first, not …” mascara made a throat erasing gesture: “Do you understand?”
He was almost scared to death and hated to say half of what he said.
“You, you, and all of you, get out.” Before mascara had finished speaking, there were already people starting to move according to his orders. mascara was very dissatisfied with this situation, he waved the gun in his hand and said: “Walk slowly, one by one, and maintain formation.” The mascara pointed his gun at a very gentle man wearing glasses and laughed: “Go first, move slowly, it’s best if you don’t make my gun angry …”
The gentle man nodded and walked slowly to the front door. He waited until the other gangster opened it before he charged out.
“Haha, as cowardly as a mouse. Trash, useless trash.” The mascara laughed and pointed the gun in his hand to his left, then to my right, there were two tables, indicating for the young men and women to leave.
mascara did not allow us to leave, and Lin Feng’s expression was ugly, but the criminals are not allowed to speak, so he did not dare to protest. I don’t have much of a feeling. Even though I still don’t have any means to protect my personal safety, what can I do about it? The one who benefits the most is Lin Feng, I cannot let him be complacent. Ling Wei probably had the same thought as I did. She was very calm, very calm, and her gaze seemed to be saying to me: Chen Xi, let’s face this together.
The coffee shop originally had more than thirty customers. Including the people in the restaurant, there were at least forty to fifty people, and more than half of them left in one go. Aside from us, there were also three other tables full of customers. The only difference was that they were a couple, while we were two men and a woman.
“Everyone, you’re left now. I hope you guys can cooperate well. It’s best not to think too viciously. Otherwise, if a bullet has no eyes, it won’t be easy to injure anyone … Do you understand?” Seeing that we all nodded our heads, mascara then continued to wave his gun: “Now, hand over your phones and give me the batteries.”
Although everyone was extremely unwilling, but it was a matter of life and death, so they had no choice but to do as he said.
Soon, the sound of sirens came from outside. Waves of chaos followed after waves of them. Through the gaps between the curtains, I could see a large number of police officers busily working outside. Of course, there were also quite a few bystanders, as well as quite a few media outlets. The live broadcast was in the upper left corner, and there was a LCD TV on the wall about 3 meters away from me.
On the television, there was a piece of news repeatedly being broadcasted: News from this city, around 6: 10 PM, a bank on Xinhua Avenue was robbed by bandits, three bank employees were killed on the spot, the robbers took away a total of more than 1.8 million yuan in cash, the police have successfully blocked the bandits into a Western Restaurant, both sides are nervously facing each other …
Strange, why didn’t he mention the situation of the hostages in the coffee shop?
In my heart, I felt that something was wrong. Since the news had spread to such a terrible extent, the police outside should have already set up an iron bucket formation. The criminals should be able to think of this, but they didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.
Why is that?
Could it be that the bandits had already thought of a way to escape?
Killing three bank employees, to a certain extent, showed that they were not soft-hearted people. In other words, we are in a very dangerous situation, and it seems to me that our group may have some value in terms of being useful, but I do not think that this value is enough to guarantee the safety of our lives. By the time the value goes to the negative, the probability of the bandits killing us would be close to 100%. For example, when the police chose to force their way in, the bandits would have to drag them down even if they were to die, right? The news didn’t say anything about the hostages in the restaurant. I guess it was to prepare for the attack.
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to consider my own fate, always relying on myself as the most practical, but what made me feel uncomfortable was that not only did I have to think about how to escape, I also had to take care of Ling Wei, and I also had to be wary of Lin Feng.
I looked around the room, thinking of a strategy.
The environment was very complicated. There was a masked bandit holding a gun guarding both the back and front doors. There was no way out.
F * ck!
While I was thinking, Lin Feng said: “Chen Xi, looks like we need to cooperate.”
I said, “How? Why should I cooperate? ”
“If you don’t cooperate, we’ll die together!”
“I don’t care.”
Lin Feng smiled, “Alright, I don’t care too much. If I die, all of you will accompany me in death. But, I can still give the criminals money and let Ling Wei and I go. You won’t make it, just wait for your death … ”
I sneered, “Do you think that you’re a criminal idiot?”
Lin Feng replied with a sneer, then shouted towards mascara: “Brother, I want to discuss something with you, I’ll give you guys money, can’t you let my girlfriend and I go?”
I thought this guy was trying to scare me. Did he really dare to do that?
Frankly, I was scared, very nervous, very nervous, but the only thing I could do seemed to be to pray for the mascara not to come over. However, my prayers were not answered, mascara walked over, his gaze swept across Lin Feng a few times, and said: “How much can you give me? Is it to transfer the funds immediately? ”
Lin Feng nodded his head, “Sure, I can give you a call and transfer the funds. How about one million? Since there are so many hostages, it’s not bad if we lose both of us. ”
mascara laughed: “A million? Do you send beggars? At least five million. ”
I must not let them complete the trade. I must destroy it as I said to the mascara, “Brother, don’t agree. He is a police officer, he has a gun …”
mascara immediately pointed his gun at Lin Feng: “Police? Hand over the gun and take your time. ”
Lin Feng looked very wronged. “Bro, I’m not a police officer, I’m an entrepreneur.” Lin Feng pointed at me and said, “He’s the police, his entire family is made up of police …”
“I definitely am not. If I were a police officer, I would have been struck by lightning and would have died a horrible death.” I also pointed at Lin Feng and said to mascara, “Brother, I’ll give you 10 million, help me kill him … …”
Lin Feng said, “I’ll give him 20 million and kill him …”
“Fifty million, kill him …”
“100 million to kill him …”
“Do you think laozi is fooling around?” mascara cursed, and used the handle of his spear to knock Lin Feng’s head, causing him to faint. I felt that I would be able to escape, but I would not be able to.
