Chapter 143: Life-threatening
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
No one would have thought that a man with a dagger would suddenly appear on the streets of the city at night, and that he was holding Hai Tang hostage.
Because the security in the city had always been good, Hai Tang was not on guard.
The strange man was very satisfied when he saw that the begonia fruit did not make any more noise. He placed a dagger on her neck and quickly brought her into the shop.
The pedestrians and cars passing by on the street didn’t notice what was happening in front of the shop.
“Give me all the cash in your shop.”The criminal had a fierce expression as he moved the dagger from Hai Tang’s neck to her waist and threatened her.
Hai Tang immediately understood that she had met a fugitive who wanted money. She could not anger him. After all, she was not sure if he would do anything extreme.
But she did not have any cash in her shop, so Hai Tang could only try to speak slowly and clearly,””My shop has just opened, so there’s no turnover yet. There’s no cash in the shop.”
The criminal quickly flipped through the counter. Sure enough, there were only various paintings and papers inside. There was not a single banknote. The criminal could only grit his teeth and say, “What about the car? Give me your car keys!”
Hai Tang secretly sweated and replied,””My husband comes to pick me up every day. I don’t have a car.”
This sentence was meant to imply that the criminal’s husband was coming. Even if the criminal wanted to commit a crime, he had to consider whether there was time and opportunity to commit the crime.
“Damn it!” The criminal cursed.
Seeing the criminal suddenly become anxious, Hai Tang’s brain worked quickly and she immediately added,’”‘My husband will send some cash over when he comes over later.”
In fact, when Hai Tang was preparing to close the shop and rest, she did not ask Gu Yun to come and pick her up.
She was going to take a taxi back.
However, since the criminal wanted money, she could only use this reason to stall until Gu Yun came over or wait for a chance to escape.
The criminal blurted out,””Really? Are you lying to me?”
“I’m not lying to you.” Hai Tang’s expression did not change. She lowered her eyes and replied, “”Look at how new my shop is. It’s obvious that it just opened not long ago. I asked my husband to pick me up at noon today and bring some cash to the shop because I have a batch of paintings to be delivered tomorrow morning. ”
After hearing Hai Tang’s reasonable words, the criminal was suddenly a little skeptical. He asked greedily,””How much money will your husband bring?” “Probably…About 200,000.” Hai Tang probed.
She didn’t know how much money this fugitive needed, so she could only give a figure that was neither high nor low.
However, when he heard that there might be 200,000 yuan in cash, the criminal was stunned. Then, he said angrily,”How can there be so much money? You need 200,000 yuan to buy goods? Are you trying to fool me first and then call the police?”
With that, he pressed the dagger at Hai Tang’s waist threateningly forward. Hai Tang immediately felt a sharp pain.
The criminal scolded angrily again,”You bitch, if you dare to lie to me, I’ll stab you to death!””
Hai Tang did not panic. Even under the violent and dangerous threat of the criminal, she continued to calmly say, “”lt’s true. Look at the paintings in the shop. The unit prices are not cheap. It’s normal for them to cost 200,000 yuan to purchase. Besides, I don’t want to give up my life for money.”
The criminal’s eyes immediately shifted to the many paintings on the shelves in the shop. It was obvious that he knew nothing about art, but he did believe Hai Tang’s words.
Thus, he regained some of his rationality, but he still looked at Hai Tang with disdain and said, “”Anyone who can buy such an expensive painting must be very rich, right? All the rich people in this world should be shot to death!”
Seeing that Hai Tang was silent and did not reply, the criminal held the knife against her again as a warning. At the same time, he urged,””ls there anything else valuable( Hand It over!”
At this moment, Hai Tang suddenly felt a little lucky. When she went out in the morning, she had to pick up Haiyuan, so she was delayed. She did not put on any jewelry and went out. Otherwise, if this criminal saw her, he might have forcefully pulled her off. She would definitely be injured..
