"Ha ha..." A person wearing a hood with only two eye holes laughed maniacally, and it was clear he was using a voice changer. "Who we are doesn't matter. If you want to know, you can call us the Outlaws. As long as there are people, death isn't something to be afraid of, Mayor Fu. I believe you're a smart man who wouldn't risk his life for something trivial."
"Stop trying to scare me..." Fu Meng said angrily, showing no fear. However, Cao Jingfan tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Don't confront them head-on. Money can be earned back, but if you lose your life, that's it."
"Damn it, how much is a life worth?" Fu Meng shrugged off Cao Jingfan's hand and shouted angrily, "If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me! I've lived long enough; I'm not afraid of death. If you kill me, I don't believe you can walk out of Nanhua City!"
"Heh heh, Mayor Fu indeed has remarkable courage. Don't worry, we won't kill you; we still need your help to escape this place. However..." The person suddenly raised his gun and shot at Fu Meng's knee.
"Hiss!"
The bullet didn't hit Fu Meng because Tian Meng reacted in time and took the shot in his thigh instead. When the bullet struck, it splattered blood, causing Tian Meng to gasp in pain.
"Tian Meng! You bastards!" Fu Meng's eyes turned red with rage as he tried to rush over. Just then, another gunshot rang out, and Tian Meng's other thigh was shot again, causing him to lose balance and kneel on the ground.
Fu Meng quickly supported Tian Meng, his face filled with anger as he shouted at the gunman in black, "You bastard! If you have the guts, shoot me in the head!"
"If Mayor Fu hopes for anyone else to get hurt, feel free to resist," the man in black said coldly as his gaze swept over Murong Lian and Su Xiuwen. He added maliciously, "These two women are quite beautiful. If Mayor Fu doesn't behave himself, my men might not be able to hold back."
"Shameless!"
Su Xiuwen couldn't help but curse under her breath, her eyes filled with disgust. This startled Murong Lian beside her; she tightly grasped Su Xiuwen's hand and gave her a look that said to stay quiet.
"It's okay; don't be afraid." Although Su Xiuwen felt somewhat anxious inside, she patted Murong Lian's hand a few times to signal her not to be nervous. But at that moment, it was understandable for Murong Lian to feel tense.
Murong Lian's heart was in turmoil and filled with fear; she gently nodded her head.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect Miss Su to have such courage in this situation. I'm truly impressed," the man in black clapped slowly, his cold laughter echoing from beneath the hood. "However, I don't want to hear any more words like 'shameless.' Otherwise, even if you're a woman, I won't show any mercy."
"Don't mess around; aren't you here for money? Just take what you want and leave!" Fu Meng frowned and shouted. Afterward, he lowered his voice to Su Xiuwen and said, "From now on, don't say another word. They're mercenaries who don't care about their lives; if you provoke them, they'll do anything."
The coldness of his voice made Su Xiuwen shiver slightly as fear began to creep into her heart. She stopped speaking and silently thought, "Xige, where are you? Why haven't you come yet?"
Looking around anxiously, she finally spotted Shang Xige in a corner. A hint of joy flickered in her eyes as Shang Xige slightly curled his lips into a smile and gestured for her to remain silent before disappearing from her sight again.
Su Xiuwen quickly withdrew her gaze and stole a glance at the man in black, realizing he had not noticed her. She felt relieved and, though silent, was not particularly afraid, knowing that Shang Xige was nearby.
The reason for his absence was clear to Su Xiuwen; Shang Xige was waiting for the right moment to act. When the time came, he would come to her rescue. Moreover, she knew that if Shang Xige was around, the missing Mo Ming would also be nearby.
Thinking of this, Su Xiuwen wanted to quietly inform Murong Lian, but just as the words were on her lips, she swallowed them back. In her beautiful eyes reflected a bloody scene: a man was being dragged out by two men in black. His black suit was soaked in blood, leaving a trail behind him, and his face was swollen and battered, looking utterly miserable.
The two men in black disregarded the man's life and threw him down like a dog in front of everyone. Then one of them stomped heavily on the man's back, followed by a scream of pain that echoed throughout the hall.
"Uh, Lian Lian, is that Yang Yuan?"
Su Xiuwen took a closer look and noticed that aside from his swollen face, the man’s physique, hairstyle, and attire were almost identical to Yang Yuan. However, she couldn't be certain if it was really him.
"I don't know; he looks somewhat like him," Murong Lian furrowed her brows and shook her head. "But it also feels like it's not him..."
The man who had just shot at Tian Meng was clearly the Leader. He asked the two men in black, "What’s going on? Who is he?"
"Captain, this guy is the host of this charity gala, Yang Yuan. He is the current Vice Chairman of Ultimate Electronics Inc.," one of the men replied. "He tried to escape during the chaos, and we couldn't help but give him a beating."
"I really can't do anything with you guys. Anyway, after this job is done, we're out. Who cares about his identity? Killing him won't matter!" The captain seemed somewhat helpless as he shook his head and raised his gun at the lying Yang Yuan.
"No... please..." The man lay on the ground, struggling to reach out to the captain, managing to squeeze out two words after much effort.
"Sorry, due to your foolish attempt to escape earlier, I can only make an example out of you. Young Master Yang, safe travels; I won't see you off. If I'm in a good mood during festivals, I might burn some paper money for you."
After finishing his words, the captain unhesitatingly pulled the trigger several times until he turned the man's head into a mess before finally stopping.
"Ah!"
Seeing this scene made Murong Lian scream and quickly cover her mouth. She shut her eyes tightly and moved aside.
Clearly, the ruthless methods of the men in black frightened her even more. However, Su Xiuwen felt no fear; instead, she held Murong Lian's hand and said, "Lian Lian, don't be afraid; everything will be alright."
"Alright, this is the consequence of running away. I hope everyone doesn't risk their lives for some trivial matters; it's really not worth it," the captain sneered. "Now, enough with the nonsense..."
The man in black who had just spoken hurriedly leaned closer to the captain's ear and whispered a few words.
Standing nearby, Fu Meng observed the captain's eyes very carefully. He caught a fleeting look of surprise, and from this small detail, he suddenly remembered that Mo Ming was not here, which clearly indicated that they had discovered Mo Ming's absence.
"Fourth Brother, Old Six, come over here!"
The captain shouted loudly, and immediately two armed men in black jogged over.
"Captain, what's going on?"
"We've caught two people. You two need to search the area quickly; they can't have escaped far and should be nearby. Eliminate them swiftly to avoid ruining our plans!" The captain instructed immediately. "Take two squads with you, maintain communication, and be cautious; the enemy's strength should not be underestimated."
"Rest assured, Captain, we will take care of those two guys quickly!" Fourth Brother and Old Six replied in unison before turning to lead their squads in different directions, moving swiftly and searching thoroughly.
"Mo Ming is nearby!" Murong Lian thought to herself with a secret joy; her tense nerves finally relaxed a bit. She no longer felt the previous fear because she believed that as long as Mo Ming was around, she was safe.
At this moment, Murong Lian didn't realize that unconsciously, this idea had been imprinted in her mind.
"Haha..." Fu Meng suddenly laughed wildly. "It truly is the case that no plan is without flaws. You meticulously planned everything but overlooked the most important person; this will likely be the key factor in your failure."
Due to wearing a black hood, no one could see the captain's face, but his tone became somewhat furious as he said, "Hmph, don't get too pleased with yourself. Just because of those two people can they really deal with so many of us? Finding them is only a matter of time; there's no need to rush!"
Fu Meng didn't say much more; he simply wore a mocking smile and kept his eyes fixed on the captain in silence. Speaking too much now would be pointless; it was better to think about how to support Mo Ming.
"Our demands are not excessive. As long as everyone transfers the money raised earlier into our account, his life will be spared. Otherwise, you can take your money downstairs to spend it!"
With a wave of his hand, the captain signaled for one of the men in black to bring out a notebook and place it on the table.
"You go first!"
The captain was the first to step forward, urging the He General to donate. The He General, whose body had become plump from overeating, walked over with a sorrowful expression, gritting his teeth. Without saying a word, he logged into his bank account and transferred the money.
"Alright, you can go now!" The captain pushed the He General aside and said, "Next person, it's you!"
...
One wealthy individual after another was called to step up to the notebook and transfer funds into the account of the man in black. No one dared to utter a word of dissent; when faced with life-threatening danger, they chose to preserve their lives.
Cao Jingfan and Ye Buluo exchanged glances, both letting out heavy sighs and shaking their heads in resignation. They watched as the wealthy individuals handed over their money, realizing it would soon be their turn—there were only about ten people left.
"Next person, Cao Jingfan CEO Cao!" The captain looked at Cao Jingfan with a cold smile and said, "CEO Cao, your financial power in Nanhua City ranks quite high. This little amount of money is probably just a drop in the bucket for you."
Cao Jingfan frowned, feeling a sense of alertness rising within him. "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything specific; I just hope CEO Cao can add another five hundred million. Heh heh, I think this amount is far less valuable than your life, right?" The captain laughed maniacally a few times and said, "CEO Cao, stop stalling and hurry up!"
"You're asking for too much!" Cao Jingfan's face turned red with anger.
"That's right; I'm asking for a lot. So what?" The captain aimed his gun at Cao Jingfan, sneering as he said, "CEO Cao, do you want to eat bullets or give money? You have two choices!"
