Chapter 214

granny out of everyone! Is it because you hate me? If that’s the case, I’m willing to swap positions with her.”Winnie’s words successfully attracted Zyon’s attention.“Haha! So it’s you, Winnie! You arrived quickly, huh? How do you feel now? Are you scared? That’s why you shouldn’t have done what you did in the past. If you hadn’t opposed me, how would things have become like this?”“I know that you hate me, so I’ll be your hostage. Release Granny and Rachel.”“What do you think you’re doing, Winnie? Are you negotiating with me right now? Are you offering yourself in exchange for two hostages? Don’t you know very well who’s the kidnapper here?”“Fine! We don’t need to swap if you find it troublesome. Let my granny answer the phone. I want to hear her voice.” Although Zyon gave no response, Winnie could hear the sound of him kicking someone.Immediately, Jacinta’s voice rang out. “Winnie! Is it you, Winnie? It’s dangerous here! Leave now! Stop meddling in this!”“Granny!”When Winnie heard Jacinta’s voice, her heart skipped a beat. Even at this critical moment, her granny was still worried about her safety as an outsider.If anything happens to Granny, I don’t know what to do anymore!However, she knew that the more dangerous the situation was, the more she must not lose her cool.Maintaining a calm composure, she asked, “Are you okay, Granny? Did you get hurt?”“No, I’m good. I’m not hurt. You must go now! Stop staying there!”“It’s great that you’re not hurt. What about Rach? How is she? Did she get shot? Is it serious?”“Yeah!” Jacinta’s voice immediately became anxious. “Rach was shot in the leg and has lost a lot of blood. Winnie, tell the police outside to quickly agree to Zyon’s requests. He said that he’d release us after he reaches the high seas. Since he’s planning to flee, he can’t possibly bring us with him for the rest of the journey. And it’s so hot now! If Rach’s wound gets infected, her life will be in danger. She might even die!”“Haha! Did you hear that?” Not giving Jacinta a chance to speak further, Zyon snatched the phone away. “Let the previous policeman answer the call and follow my instructions. In the end, the hostage might die not from my beatings but from how much time the f*cking police have wasted!”“Got it!” Zayn took the phone. “We’ll follow your instructions. The crane and the boat are all ready. The cash that you’ve requested is already on the boat too.”“Very good! Don’t hang up and continue listening to my orders.”To avoid being shot in the head, Zyon did not even leave the rest stop.The back door of the rest stop opened up to the containers right next to it.The moment they opened the back door, they could just open one of the containers and hide inside. In that case, they would not expose any parts of their body and could minimize the chances of getting shot.After they regained their footing and closed the door of the container, they would instruct the police to transport them to the nearest cargo ship using the crane.The next step was the key to their escape plan.Prior to that day, Zyon had already been making preparations for his sea voyage and had contacted a ship to pick him up.Since it was not the agreed-upon time yet, the ship had not shown up.That was why he took hostages and requested the police to provide him with a boat—to distract the police and stall for time.His ship would be arriving soon. In addition to the cargo ship and the containers blocking the police’s field of vision, it would make it extremely convenient for him to escape.Till now, his plan was progressing very smoothly.By the time the police realized that Zyon did not board the ship they had specifically prepared for him, it was too late.He had already fled with
