Chapter 0038: Use it or not?

Lin Yi pushed the gun against the bald man's head again and said, "Tell them not to move, or I'll kill the hostage!"

"You... you guys, don't be reckless..." The bald man really wanted to cry. Wasn't this what they had just said to the police in the bank? Retribution had come so quickly, what was this if not immediate retribution?

"Hmm, good." Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "Can you tell me now? Who is Brother Cihua?"

"It's my boss... I don't know anything else. He told me to do this, little brother, please don't shoot..." The bald man was a coward at heart. Despite his earlier bravado, he was now terrified for his life.

Originally, he had taken this job for the money, to live a more carefree life, but it wasn't worth risking his life.

Lin Yi frowned, realizing that the bald man was just a small fry and knew nothing of the inside story.

"Alright, stop the car." Lin Yi ordered the bald man.

"Stop the car? For what?" The bald man was taken aback.

"Of course, we're getting out. Do you really want to keep kidnapping her like this?" Lin Yi glared and asked.

"No... I mean, you're not taking us to the police station?" The bald man was surprised, not expecting Lin Yi to let them go.

"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "I'm not a cop, do they pay me a salary?"

The bald man was overjoyed when he heard Lin Yi's words. He had thought Lin Yi would take them to the police station, but now he could escape. Although the mission wasn't completed, they had managed to rob a large sum from the bank, enough to live off for the rest of their lives. So, the bald man excitedly ordered the driver to stop the car.

Lin Yi searched the bald man and found a gun, which he then threw to Chu Mengyao, "You take it, aim at their tires in a bit."

"Okay..." Chu Mengyao didn't understand why Lin Yi said this, but she took the gun and held it tightly.

Lin Yi had Chu Mengyao get out of the car first, then followed. As he got out, he said, "You can choose to shoot at me or Mengyao, but you have to kill us. If you don't kill me, I'll aim at your fuel tank. Got it, baldy?"

Lin Yi patted the bald man's bald head as he spoke.

"No... no..." The bald man shivered involuntarily. Lin Yi was indeed a bit eerie, and the bald man didn't want to risk any more trouble.

When Lin Yi got out of the car, he paid special attention to the jade pendant's reaction, but it showed no signs. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed the bald man had made a smart choice.

If the jade pendant had shown any reaction, Lin Yi would have restrained the bald man again and taken him with him.

After Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao got out, the modern business car sped away, just as Lin Yi had predicted, the bald man didn't make any moves.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and call Uncle Fu to pick us up," Lin Yi said, looking at Chu Mengyao, who was staring at him, both amused and exasperated.

"Okay..." Chu Mengyao was a bit incredulous. Was it really that easy to escape? But looking at the departing modern minivan, it seemed so. However, why was Lin Yi so bossy, using a commanding tone with her?

"Why didn't you confiscate all their guns and take them to the police station?" Chu Mengyao was still bothered by what Lin Yi had said. What did he mean by not being a cop and the police not paying him? Couldn't he do something good?

"That car was full of cowards. Threatening their leader kept them from acting rashly, but if I had taken their guns, they would have known they were doomed and would have fought to the death!" Lin Yi explained.

"But you had their leader as leverage, right?" Chu Mengyao asked, puzzled.

"When you're about to die, do you care about your leader? Please, don't be so naive," Lin Yi said helplessly. "We escaped by sheer luck! Hey, who did you offend? These people were clearly after you!"

"Hmph! Stop being so smug!" Chu Mengyao was annoyed by Lin Yi's attitude. "You're my bodyguard, right? How can you talk to your master like that?"

"..." Lin Yi was speechless. This woman was truly unreasonable.

Chen Yushu was wiping her tears in Uncle Fu's car. Chu Mengyao and Lin Yi had been taken away, who knew what would happen? The best outcome would be their release, but the worst... Chen Yushu didn't dare to think about it.

Uncle Fu was also worried, trying to call Chu Pengzhan, but couldn't get through, which made him even more anxious.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Uncle Fu was startled. He picked it up and saw the caller ID, his face showing a mix of worry and relief.

It was Chu Mengyao's phone, but it might not be her calling. It could be the kidnappers using her phone, but at least there was news.

"Hello? Yes, hello." Uncle Fu answered cautiously.

"Uncle Fu, come pick me up..." Chu Mengyao felt that Uncle Fu's voice was so comforting for the first time.

Along with Uncle Fu, Song Lingshan and the police arrived.

"Sister Yao!" Chen Yushu was the first to jump out of the car and hugged Chu Mengyao tightly. "I was so scared, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Brat, don't talk nonsense!" Chu Mengyao had recovered from her shock and was now torn between laughing and crying at Chen Yushu's words.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Uncle Fu asked, seeing the blood on Lin Yi.

"I got shot in the thigh, it's not a big deal!" Lin Yi stood up, limping. It really hurt, the pain came later.

Uncle Fu was truly impressed by Lin Yi. Getting shot and still saying it was nothing, he was a real man, a true man. Lin Yi wondered if he knew what Uncle Fu was thinking, would he have black lines on his forehead? He remembered a female celebrity being jokingly called a "true man."

"Mr. Lin, please come with us to the police station to give a statement," Song Lingshan walked over and formally said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi frowned, was this girl blind? Didn't she see he was injured? He said irritably, "Do you need me to take off my pants to show you?"
