Chapter 40

It could be said that beauty saved Mu Chenfei. Due to the inherent baseness in men, if it had been an ugly woman who would give him nightmares, Buck would not have cared about her life and death, and would have first ensured his own safety by snatching the gun and killing her.

So, in that split second when the blade was about to stab down, he just shifted his thigh slightly to avoid the artery, letting the strongest part of his quadriceps muscle take the hit. The tip of the knife did not damage the tendons and was instead held in place by the muscle density, preventing it from going too deep!

Even though the middle-aged man's hand holding the knife was clearly trembling, the stab was not just to subdue the tall and strong young man but also to intimidate the girl. However, by actively choosing the part of his body to be stabbed and adding an exaggerated scream, it was not easy for Buck.

This is like how professional athletes instinctively protect themselves from injury when they are knocked down during a competition, and professional combat personnel minimize their injuries even more!

It was a simple desire to protect or preserve something beautiful that drove him. He knew that his immediate counterattack, with two gun barrels firing, had a high probability of hitting the girl's head!

The driver first tied Buck's hands with a zip tie, and only then did the pistol outside the car window disappear. Under Uncle Cheng's instructions, Buck, trembling, tied his own ankles. The driver then cursed and turned the car around: "Damn car washer, you drive pretty well!" The sports car's reaction in that split second was already impressive, more difficult than handling a professional drift car.

The people in the Volkswagen had already opened the cargo compartment door, pulled down two long tracks, and let the Maserati slide into the compartment. After a slight scraping sound, the door was locked and the engine started, and the car drove away! The sedan followed, leaving the barriers behind and disappearing without a trace!

In just under a minute, the Maserati was neatly and swiftly made to vanish!

The girl, seeing the blood gush from Buck's thigh and flow onto the white leather seats, was stunned. Looking at the gun that kept moving between her and Buck, she realized that things were not as she had thought: "Uncle Cheng... you..."

Uncle Cheng, in his forties, turned around and sneered: "Miss, I've worked for the Mu family for ten years. When your father said he could kick me out like a dog, he had to pay the price!"

Mu Chenfei was not stupid. In the dark cargo compartment, the only light came from the Maserati's headlights, but she could sense the malevolence and resentment in Uncle Cheng's tone: "You... you made them take a day off so they wouldn't wash my car, and you guided me here..."

Uncle Cheng was somewhat proud of his meticulous plan: "I'm sorry, Miss, but you'll have to bear with it. Car washer, here's your dream opportunity, tie up Miss Mu's hands and feet... Damn, you're just a lecherous bastard, get in the car!" He pulled the knife out of Buck's leg, causing another appropriate scream from Buck!

That's right, the kidnapping plan sounded clear and straightforward. Since he was an insider, he pretended not to wash the car, forcing the young lady to get it washed outside, leading her into the trap on this road!

He even used the method of hiding the car in the cargo compartment to cover up the conspicuous sports car, making it impossible for the police cameras on the street to find any trace!

Buck was almost the only variable.

Buck, gritting his teeth, made a feeble sound, tying the girl's hands while begging for mercy: "Sir... give me a chance, let me out of the car... I'm not worth much."

Mu Chenfei despised his submissive demeanor and tried to avoid the zip tie: "Get lost! Don't touch me..." Uncle Cheng didn't hesitate to slap her, a loud slap landing on the girl's face!

Mu Chenfei was stunned, sitting there as Buck tied her wrists and ankles! Tears flowed silently... She seemed to finally realize the situation!

Uncle Cheng was not gentle: "Miss, you've never been hit before... I advise you to be obedient. Mr. Mu is willing to pay twenty to thirty million for you, so we'll leave you intact. Otherwise, next year he might have a grandson, and we won't know whose it is!" The driver, looking at the girl in the rearview mirror, couldn't help but laugh lewdly: "I hope it's mine, I'll win by the number of times!"

Since the sports car wasn't moving, he even turned around to reach out and try to enjoy himself, but Uncle Cheng stopped him, his voice sinister: "Miss... you know how to call your father, right..."

Now is the time to threaten, no need to be so eager. But seeing Buck, who seemed to have lost a lot of blood, weakly leaning against the seat, the gun was pulled back a bit: "Kid, it's your bad luck. It's not easy to kill on the street without leaving a trace... You'll have to rely on your own luck. Don't blame us for not sparing your life, who told you to get in the car out of lust? You look big, but you're just a coward with a big libido!"

The driver laughed and took out a walkie-talkie: "Speed up, I want to taste something fresh, it's rare to have such a catch..."

The other end of the walkie-talkie was also filled with lewd laughter!

The coward who had smeared the white seats with a small amount of blood, eyes half-closed as if he had lost energy, curled up in the narrow back seat of the sports car, slightly closer to Mu Chenfei's body, making her shrink back in disgust. Her eyes, full of fear, looked not only at the kidnappers but also at Buck. She didn't reflect on the fact that if she hadn't pulled out the car key, this would have already... Well, if nothing had happened, would she have thought Buck saved her?

Buck had no intention of taking advantage of the girl or getting close to her to say anything. If he told her anything now, it might ruin everything. He just pretended to be unconscious, lying on the back seat, bringing his hands close to his head.

Uncle Cheng even turned on the light in the cargo compartment to observe closely, checking the zip ties on both of their hands and feet to ensure they were secure before sitting down. His mind was now filled with thoughts of money!

The large sum of money about to be in his hands!

He didn't notice that Buck had brought his tied hands close to his mouth, and Uncle Cheng certainly didn't notice that the toothpick he had casually pulled out earlier had a tip about a centimeter long bitten off!

Buck had extracted this tip from between his teeth, using the pretense of being completely unconscious. He leaned to one side and inserted the tip into the zip tie between his ankles!

These were not the specialized zip ties used in the battlefield but standard industrial zip ties. This type of one-way locking plastic tie can be undone by pressing the locking mechanism with something like a knife tip. To save costs, Buck, who had used these zip ties many times in the battlefield, knew this well!

Even without the toothpick, he could have used his fingernails or something else to achieve the same result. For a survival expert like him, finding a tool was second nature!

The truck ran at high speed for over an hour. From the smoothness, it was clear they were on the highway with little elevation change. Finally, with a screech, the truck stopped, the rear door opened, and the two metal tracks were pulled out. The Maserati, which had been running with the air conditioning on, backed out. Buck kept his eyes closed, knowing that the hardtop sports car couldn't open its doors in the narrow compartment. Now on the ground... His face was smeared with some blood on the white leather, and his feet, with the help of the toothpick tip, had already slipped out of the zip tie. Uncle Cheng, feeling relaxed, checked their zip ties one last time before getting out.

Buck had made the right bet!

Most people would think that the first priority is to free their hands...

But in a fight, a pair of free legs is far more important than a pair of hands, especially if you can only choose one.

Buck was wise!
