Chapter 129 Escape
He laughed and said smugly, "Idiot! What ransom are you asking for? These unlucky souls tonight are all online game developers! The technology, data, and unreleased game versions they possess are truly priceless treasures!"
"As for that fellow named Andrew and Alice... hehe, I have already planned to sell them to faraway Africa, and let them dig coal day and night in the scorching hot mines. Don't even think about coming back in their lifetime! Hahahaha!" After saying that, Gary laughed wildly again, as if he was extremely satisfied with his vicious idea.
Gary's men all looked terrified, and with slightly trembling voices, they said to Gary, "Boss... Boss, Andrew has a huge and powerful family behind him! He's also the only heir to the family. If we really touch him, what if... what if his family tracks us down, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
However, Gary was not moved at all. His eyes flashed with a fierce light and he responded viciously: "Hmph! What could happen? The worst that can happen is that we can burn this damn place to ashes! After we get the money, the world is so big, we can choose any country we want to go to!" Gary seemed to have fallen into a state of madness at this time, with only endless greed and murderous intent in his eyes.
Xu Chen, standing by, secretly groaned inwardly. Old Master Qin had repeatedly urged him to protect Qin Nuo's safety, but who could have imagined that he would be implicated by this unfortunate Andrew and fall into the hands of this group of vicious, heartless outlaws?
Gary turned around and ordered his men, "Leave two of you here to watch, and the rest of you follow me. First, go and pack all the gold, silver, and jewelry on the farm into bags and take them away!" With his order, a group of bandits rushed into the farm like hungry wolves.
After Gary left with most of his men, the two gangsters who stayed behind to guard the place looked at each other, then unscrupulously took the wine and meat on the table and started eating and drinking, completely ignoring the tied hostages.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the alcohol began to wreak havoc in their bodies, and their consciousness gradually became blurred.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Nuo staggered to Xu Chen's side, then stood back to back with Xu Chen, struggling to figure out the knot of the rope that tied their hands.
After finally untying the knot between them, Qin Nuo panted heavily and asked Xu Chen in a low voice, "What should we do now? Is there any way to wake Andrew up?"
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "How about this? First, cover his mouth tightly with your hand and don't let him make any sound. I'll be responsible for waking him up!"
Hearing this, Qin Nuo took a deep breath and used all his strength to cover Andrew's mouth tightly. At this moment, Xu Chen suddenly raised his arm, bent his fingers, and used the hard joints to hit Andrew's back acupuncture points fiercely.
The blow was so powerful that Andrew was instantly awakened by the pain and instinctively wanted to scream. However, because Qin Nuo covered his mouth tightly, the screams could only turn into sobs in his throat.
Andrew had just woken up from fainting, his mind still in chaos, and he had no idea what had happened. He stared at Qin Nuo with wide eyes, trying to break free.
Seeing this, Xu Chen quickly leaned close to his ear and explained in a low voice, "We're in trouble. It's a group of poor bandits. They're numerous and armed with guns. You must be very quiet to avoid attracting their attention. We need to come up with a foolproof plan and get out of here first!"
Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Andrew's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and nodded vigorously at Xu Chen.
Seeing this scene, Qin Nuo felt a little relieved, and his hand that was tightly covering Andrew's mouth began to slowly relax.
At this moment, Xu Chen, who was standing aside, rushed forward with lightning speed and quickly helped Andrew untie the rope tied on his hands.
It happened in a flash. Qin Nuo and Xu Chen looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then rushed towards the two drunk and staggering bandits not far away like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, they had silently arrived behind the two gangsters. Then, they attacked at the same time, each swinging their palms and slashing at the back of the gangsters' necks like a torrential rain.
Only two dull sounds were heard, and the two bandits who were originally staggering didn't even have time to react. They fell straight forward onto the table in front of them like puppets with their strings cut, and then completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
Seeing this, Andrew, who had just broken free, ran towards them and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and save Alice! Let's all work together to find a way to escape from this damn place!"
Xu Chen frowned slightly and retorted seriously, "No! Taking her with us will only increase the risk and uncertainty! We should ensure our own safety first, get out of here as soon as possible, and then call the police for help!"
Hearing this, Qin Nuo's face turned cold and he shouted in a deep voice: "Stop dawdling here! If we delay any longer, I'm afraid none of us will have a chance to escape!"
Andrew gritted his teeth, a trace of unwillingness on his face, but finally nodded in agreement: "Okay! Then follow me, I happen to know a shortcut that can cleverly avoid the sight of those guys!"
It was a dark and windy night. The three of them, relying on the faint moonlight, moved forward cautiously. Their figures moved through the darkness like ghosts.
Meanwhile, Gary and a group of people hurried back to the scene. When he saw the two guards who were supposed to be holding their posts lying sprawled across the table, he immediately became furious and roared, "Damn it! That bastard Andrew got away! Hurry up and capture him!"
After hearing the order, the bandits did not dare to delay at all and immediately scattered like a tide and launched a carpet search.
By this time, Andrew had already successfully circled around the back of the farm with Qin Nuo and Xu Chen. They tiptoed towards a car parked in the corner, quietly opened the door and got in.
