Emma Richard turned around and quickly took out her bank card.
Seeing this, the leader was angry: “Damn, you take us for fools? In case you go back and freeze the bank card, our money will be gone!”
Emma Richard was so shocked that her whole body shook, she was like being choked, and it took her a long time to say a complete sentence.
“The bank card has been specially processed to ensure that you can withdraw your money anytime and anywhere, you can try it if you don’t believe me!” Seeing that he still looked bad, she explained again, “10 million in cash is too heavy for me to bring here, aren’t you the ones who asked me to deal alone?”
Thinking that she didn’t dare to gamble with her daughter’s life, the sharp-tongued gangster helped to persuade, “Yes big brother, with the Wright Family’s ability, handling a bank card is not a problem at all.”
The boss considered for a moment and finally relented: “Bring me the card, I’ll send one of my boys to get the money, make sure it’s okay, and you’ll leave.”
Emma Richard agreed to hand over the bank card, but never thought that, just after receiving the card, the gangsters immediately changed their faces.
“Do it!”
With the boss’s order, the rest of the gangsters surrounded Emma Richard instantly, a few of them were holding machetes.
“What are you doing?” She questioned in a stern voice.
“What for? I’m not keeping my word, of course.”
The sharp-tongued punk was about to reach out and grab her when he was kicked in the stomach!
He fell to the ground with a scream, but did not forget to shout: “Boss, there is an ambush!”
In a flash, the light from the flashlight converged on Emma Richard’s side, only to see Joe Wright standing there aggressively.
The room was filled with cries of pain and curses.
Emma Richard tried several times to get closer but could not find the opportunity, the whole heart seems to be on fire, the feeling of fear even more than the moment to face the kidnappers alone.
Joe Wright’s two fists were no match for the four hands, not to mention that the gangsters were armed, and he was soon outgunned and pushed into a corner with his arms locked behind his back.
Next, Emma Richard was also tied up and thrown to his side.
Looking at the injured men, the gangster boss couldn’t help but curse angrily: “Good for you, you little bitch, how dare you backstab us? It’s a good thing I didn’t bring that bitch with me!”
Knowing that Keira was not here, Emma Richard’s last shred of support was shattered and she struggled almost frantically.
“Where are you keeping my daughter? I’ve paid the money, you let her go, let her go!!!”
Now that the kidnappers had changed from one hostage to three, how could they possibly keep their promise?
Joe Wright urged her to calm down and calmly negotiated with the kidnappers, “We want to get out of here alive and take Keira. If you think $10 million is not enough, you can raise the price, or I will transfer part of the Wright Group and guarantee you and your family the rest of your lives.”
The gangsters looked at each other blankly, obviously not sure what the equity would do, and finally the gangster boss raised his hand and decided, “What bullshit equity, I want money!”
Joe Wright responded quickly, “Money is no problem, just …”
Seeing his hesitation, the gangster boss immediately clenched his fist: “You dare to back out?!”
“Of course not.” Joe Wright’s mind moved, deliberately revealing a worried look: “Just Emma and I were caught here, the old man is already too old, I’m afraid he can not withstand the blow. If something happens to him, instead of getting the money, you will be carrying a human life.”
The gangsters were originally hired to act as kidnappers for a high ransom.
At these words, the boss was shaken: “So what do you want?”
“Let her go and I’ll stay as a hostage.”
“No!”
Emma Richard immediately vetoed: “I’m the one who ran the deal regardless of the consequences, even if someone stays, it should be me!”
“Emma, listen to your brother.” He said softly.
It was early morning, the darkest hour before the dawn.
Emma Richard sat in the car, clad in a police jacket, but still could not stop shivering.
The moment she came out of the rotten building, she regretted it.
If she hadn’t hidden the kidnapper’s text messages, if she hadn’t acted smartly and impulsively, Joe Wright wouldn’t have been in danger at all. How could she escape alone when it was clear that she had made a mistake and dragged Joe Wright into it?
But she walked out of the rotten building and was immediately taken into the car by the police, without even a chance to look back.
“Why don’t you go save him, don’t you have a lot of people? Why don’t you rush in?!”
She was already squared away, the police could understand her emotions and did not blame, but patiently gave an explanation.
According to the information she provided, the location of Keira’s captivity is still unclear, and if they provoke the kidnappers, they are afraid that Keira’s life will be in danger.
What they could do now was to seize the opportunity provided by Joe Wright and try to take down the kidnappers in the next transaction to save the two.
“Don’t blame yourself too much. We’ve worked on many similar cases, and it’s hard for parents to keep their cool when their children are in trouble.
Emma Richard leaned over and buried her face in the crook of her arm, stifling a sob: “I should have told you guys, I was wrong … it was me who caused Brother Joe …”
For a time, the carriage fell silent, only the sound of suppressed sobs remained.
After such a big commotion in the night, Master Wright woke up early in the morning and went downstairs to the living room to ask about the situation.
Joe Wright suddenly disappeared, there is no way to hide it, Emma Richard only had to tell the truth.
“Grandpa you scold me, I have caused my brother … I really deserve to die!”
Recalling last night’s experience, Emma Richard curled up in the corner of the sofa with her hands on her head, not even daring to glance at Master Wright.
“Joe that child, also captured by them?”
All the blood in his body converged on the top of his head, a burst of rushing brain, Master Wright hurriedly closed his eyes, trying to regulate that dizzy feeling.
Keira had been kidnapped and Joe had fallen into the hands of the kidnappers, the situation was imminent, if even he fell, who would protect Emma?
Master Wright took the medicine and gradually regained his strength, and the scene in front of him was clear again.
Emma Richard was looking at him nervously, tears in her eyes, shaking.
“Grandpa’s okay.” He patted Emma Richard’s hand, warmly reassuring: “Didn’t you just say that they only want money and wouldn’t dare to harm people’s lives? Grandpa has money, I’ll give them whatever they want, and Joe and Keira will come back safely.”
“Grandpa!”
Emma Richard threw herself into his arms and finally let out a cry.
So much had happened in two days since Keira disappeared the day before yesterday, and even though she had learned to be strong during her time in prison, she could not support herself at this moment.
All the panic, worries and cowardice are discharged with tears, and after crying, Emma Richard regains her strength and takes the initiative to participate in the police’s case analysis meeting.
When the kidnappers let her go, they told her to wait for a phone call at home. Before the call came, the police could only predict the kidnappers’ next action based on the previous situation.
