Chapter 262 Scammed?
Ma Junjie was taken aback and looked at Jiang Hao's hand.
Jiang Hao then mysteriously pulled something out of his waist.
It glittered silver in the sunlight.
"A gun?" Ma Junjie whispered.
"Yes!" Jiang Hao's face lit up with joy and pride as he handed it to Ma Junjie.
"Here you go, there are 15 bullets inside, that should be enough for you!"
Ma Junjie subconsciously shook his head.
"Thanks, Brother Hao, but I don't know how to use it, and I probably won't need it anyway."
"Brother Hao, keep this for yourself. Use it in case of emergencies!"
Seeing Ma Junjie's resolute tone, Jiang Hao was momentarily at a loss for words.
At this moment, Liu Xiong suddenly spoke up.
"Jiang Hao, don't worry about it. Just mind your own business."
"Look, you have a silver one, and I have a black one!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao looked towards Liu Xiong.
Liu Xiong then pulled a black pistol from his pocket.
Jiang Hao instantly smiled.
Put your gun away.
"Oh dear, look at me! I was just worrying unnecessarily, and I was showing off my limited skills before an expert!"
"Brother Xiong, your thing is way better than mine!"
"Hurry, you guys go quickly, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Liu Xiong smiled faintly, stuffed the items into his pocket, and patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder.
"Ah Jie, let's go!"
Ma Junjie nodded, crouched down, and walked out of the bushes.
The two moved forward cautiously, looking like thieves from behind, acting furtively.
The two walked for four or five minutes, dodging and weaving, covering a short distance.
Finally, we reached a stairwell at the back of the building.
The two stood on either side of the stairwell entrance. Ma Junjie mustered his courage, pulled open the dilapidated wooden door, and rushed inside.
Liu Xiong drew his pistol and followed closely behind.
Upon entering the building, a cool, rotten smell wafted over.
The place was silent, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
Ma Junjie and Liu Xiong were on tenterhooks, and could even hear their hearts pounding.
The two moved slowly, and after a while, they finally reached the third floor.
Ma Junjie and Liu Xiong exchanged a glance and rested briefly at the entrance of the third-floor corridor.
Liu Xiong remembered the man saying that the kidnappers were in the innermost room on the right side of the corridor.
He turned to the side, peeked out, and looked down the corridor to the right.
After watching for a while and finding no movement in the corridor, Liu Xiong gave Ma Junjie a wink.
Count them softly.
"Three, two, one!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two rushed out into the corridor.
The two tiptoed quickly to the far right of the corridor.
Sure enough, the door to the innermost room was tightly closed.
Ma Junjie pressed his ear against the doorway and listened for a while; it was very quiet inside.
Looking through the window, I saw that the inside was completely covered with newspaper.
Liu Xiong gestured to Ma Junjie, signaling him to kick the door open.
Because this is an old house, the door is made of worn-out wooden planks, and you can even push it open a crack.
Ma Junjie nodded, signaling Liu Xiong to get his gun ready.
Then Ma Junjie took a few steps back and braced himself firmly against the corridor railing.
Take a deep breath and muster all your strength.
He raised his foot, ready to deliver a powerful kick to the door.
He looked at Liu Xiong, nodded to him, and then continued counting down, "Three, two, one."
Suddenly a sprint,
With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut and cracked open with a large gap.
Upon seeing this, Ma Junjie quickly used his body to brace against the cracked door, saying,
"Brother Xiong, hurry inside!"
Liu Xiong grunted in response, raised his gun, and crouched down to crawl inside.
Ma Junjie freed himself up again and kicked the door hard, causing it to collapse with a loud bang.
A cloud of dust rose up.
Ma Junjie got some sand in his eyes and rubbed them vigorously.
After a short while, quickly open your eyes.
Looking ahead in a daze, he mumbled...
"Bingbing, don't be afraid, we're here!"
"Don't move! All of you, don't move!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiong's hoarse voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ah Jie, nobody's here, not a single hair!"
"What?" Ma Junjie shouted.
I quickly rubbed my eyes again.
He forced his eyes wide open to look into the room.
Next second,
"Holy crap!" Ma Junjie was struck dumb, his whole body stiffening.
The room was indeed empty.
Apart from a few broken stools and chairs, there wasn't a soul in sight.
Liu Xiong was completely stunned.
Suddenly remembering something, he said,
"Damn it, could we have been tricked by that guy?"
"He took the money so quickly, something felt off!"
"Ah Jie, we've definitely been scammed! There's nobody here, damn it!"
Ma Junjie's mind was still in a daze.
It feels like water got into my ears, and there's a constant echo.
He vaguely heard Liu Xiong cursing, and he felt agitated.
However, I forced myself to calm down and think quickly.
Could it be that I was really tricked by that guy?
But in his observation
The man spoke sincerely and didn't seem to be lying.
Ma Junjie calmed down
Upon closer inspection of the room, it was covered in a thick layer of dust, suggesting that no one had been there.
He turned around and looked out into the corridor.
Recalling what the man had said earlier—that the kidnappers were on the far right of the third floor—
Liu Xiong and I came up from the stairwell and went directly to the right side of the corridor.
Is it possible?
The man was referring to the right side facing the building...
Thinking of this, Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils dilated.
Shout it out.
"Brother Xiong, let's go, let's hurry!"
Before Liu Xiong could react with a cry of "Ah!", Ma Junjie had already rushed out the door.
As soon as he rushed into the corridor, Ma Junjie's eyes were fixed on the opposite corridor.
Suddenly, a head popped out of a room at the far end of the corridor.
"Brother Xiong, they're over there!"
"Quick, run to the other side!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opposite him realized he had been discovered and quickly ran out of the room, taking off towards the stairwell.
"Stop right there, damn it!" Ma Junjie shouted, taking a step forward to run up.
Before I even took a step...
With a loud "bang!",
Ma Junjie felt a wave of heat pass by his ears.
He subconsciously lowered his head.
Looking at it from the other side,
He saw Liu Xiong fire a shot behind him.
Ma Junjie frowned, not having time to think further, and quickly turned back to look ahead.
The man who had run away crouched down, but the next second he suddenly stood up and ran into the stairwell.
"Damn it!" Liu Xiong cursed angrily.
"Haven't used it in ages, couldn't even hit it at such close range!"
Ma Junjie gave Liu Xiong a resentful look, thinking to himself,
Not only did you miss the kidnapper, you almost shot me in the head.
Without time to complain, Ma Junjie rushed towards the end of the corridor.
He ran wildly until he reached the room at the end, and with a "bang," kicked the door open.
Upon looking,
A woman was found lying motionless on the ground with disheveled hair.
In an instant, tears streamed down Ma Junjie's face uncontrollably.
"Ice...ice?"
Ma Junjie clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.
He subconsciously called out Bingbing's name.
But it's unclear whether the woman lying down is actually Bingbing.
He had no idea what the woman's current situation was...
At this moment, he felt incredibly conflicted.
On the one hand, I hope this woman is Bingbing.
On the other hand, I so desperately wish she wasn't.
He rubbed his eyes and walked up unsteadily.
He knelt down and gently hugged the woman on the ground.
Slowly, I lifted her hair up.
Upon looking,
With a cry of "Ah!", Ma Junjie fell to the ground...
