488: Chapter 488: Tangyu’s Bargaining Chip 488: Chapter 488: Tangyu’s Bargaining Chip “I’m right here, so what are you afraid of?
Zhou Tao, you’re not even acting like a man, using a woman as a threat, what kind of man does that make you?
My friend has never offended you, why are you making things difficult for him?
Could it be that you’re afraid of ?” Tangyu said mockingly, knowing that provoking Zhou Tao’s pride should be effective.
Zhou Tao’s face changed and he said coldly with a laugh, “Afraid?
Why should I be afraid?
You’re already my prisoner, shouldn’t you be the one that’s afraid?”
“Since you’re not afraid of , and you’ve said I’m your prisoner, and all these people here are pointing guns at , then why use a woman to threaten ?
What does that an?” Tangyu continued.
“Don’t think I’ll fall for your tricks.
It’s impossible to let your friend go right now; I’m not foolish enough to let her go to the police.
Hmph, besides, having an ace up my sleeve, why would I throw it away?
Tangyu, Tangyu, don’t be too self-righteous, thinking a little smartness can fool ?
No matter what you say, I’m not letting her go easily today,” Zhou Tao said.
A sharp look flashed in Tangyu’s eyes.
This ti Zhou Tao was cautious indeed, not provoked by his tactics.
If it were just himself, Tangyu could act recklessly; after all, it was just a few guns, couldn’t he just fight or escape?
It seed the hardest to escape at sea was actually the easiest.
Zhou Tao thought he was clever, thinking that bringing him out to sea would restrain him.
Smart people can outsmart themselves.
It was only two thousand ters from the shore, not to ntion ten thousand ters that Tangyu could swim in one breath.
Besides, did Tangyu really need to swim to shore?
Tangyu had several strategies in mind, but for now, he couldn’t make any rash moves, at least not until he saw Liu Shanshan and confird that she was unhard.
Then he could start enacting his plan.
“Zhou Tao, stop beating around the bush, co out with whatever you have.
I hate people who play dirty,” Tangyu said harshly.
“No rush, no rush, what fun would it be to play you to death all at once?
It’s much more enjoyable to take it slow.
I would love to flay and debone you, do you think I would let you off that easily?” Zhou Tao said with a face full of amusent.
“Not letting go, so what do you want to do?
Kill ?” Tangyu asked.
Zhou Tao shook his head and said, “Killing is illegal, though I really want to kill you, but considering your reputation and status these days, I wouldn’t dare to just kill you, especially during this sensitive ti.
I won’t kill you, but I can make you wish you were dead, cripple you, and that would certainly satisfy my vengeance.”
“Hmph, cripple ?
Are you sure you’re speaking to ?” Tangyu’s voice grew icy too.
Upon hearing that, Zhou Tao instinctively took a step back, an inexplicable fear rising in his heart.
His feet involuntarily moved back a step.
After retreating a step, Zhou Tao imdiately puffed out his chest and stood up straight again; this was his territory, how could he show weakness?
Zhou Tao pointed at Tangyu and said, “What, you want to fight?”
“Don’t provoke my bottom line and patience.
Release my friend, and I’ll let you handle .
But if you don’t release her, don’t expect a fight to the death.
You might have guns, but I’m not defenseless,” Tangyu said coldly.
Zhou Tao’s lips twitched: “Don’t provoke my patience either, you won’t get any benefits today.”
“Whether I do or not is not for you to say,” Tangyu replied.
“Hmph,” Zhou Tao was frustrated and said to the man beside him, “Bring that girl here.”
The man nodded to Zhou Tao and took out his phone to make a call.
Soon after, a small yacht quickly sped over and soon stopped in front of the boat, where Tangyu saw Liu Shanshan being escorted by a man, her hands bound.
Seeing the state Liu Shanshan was in, Tangyu’s heart ached as if it were being cut by knives, and his anger grew, fueling a killing intent.
“Shanshan, are you okay?” Tangyu asked.
“I’m fine, Tangyu, you don’t have to worry about ,” Liu Shanshan said, her eyes clearly distressed and sparkling, as she shook her head.
“How could I not worry about you?
Don’t be afraid, I will rescue you,” Tangyu said.
Liste
Tangyu glared angrily at Zhou Tao.
Ever since that last incident Tangyu had caused, this guy had beco extrely cautious, even here he was prepared against him.
The yacht was about ten ters away from the ship, too far even for a world long jump champion to reach, right?
Besides, there were two gunn on the cruise ship and Liu Shanshan was held captive, making the situation seemingly foolproof.
Under such circumstances, for Tangyu to rescue her would be as hard as reaching the heavens, no wonder Zhou Tao was so confident, acting as if he had Tangyu completely under control.
“As long as you don’t harm my friend, just tell what you want,” Tangyu said.
Zhou Tao’s lips curled into a cold, smug smile, “I like this about you.
First, slap yourself five tis.
This is my payback to you.
You should rember, you slapped twice.
I thought of returning it double but let’s settle for a discount, five is good enough.
I’m quite generous, aren’t I?”
A glint of extre cold flashed through Tangyu’s eyes.
How could he possibly slap himself?
“Do you really need to humiliate like this?” Tangyu stared intensely at Zhou Tao.
“Humph, humiliation?
You know this is humiliation?
Yes, I really want to humiliate you.
I don’t have much patience, I’m giving you ten seconds to decide.
If you don’t agree, your little girl will suffer.
I believe those two brothers are quite interested in your girlfriend,” Zhou Tao said with a chilling laugh.
Tangyu turned to look at Liu Shanshan who, with tears, shook her head and signaled not to agree to Zhou Tao’s demands.
Tangyu slightly squinted his eyes and gave Liu Shanshan a knowing glance.
Having spent so much ti with Tangyu, there was certainly an understanding between them.
Seeing Tangyu’s look, Liu Shanshan got the ssage and her heart jolted—could they really escape this calamity?
However, she didn’t think too much about it and trusted Tangyu no matter what.
Liu Shanshan quickly returned the glance as a sign.
Tangyu turned his head back and Zhou Tao said, “Ti’s up, why haven’t you done it yet?”
“Alright, I’ll do it,” Tangyu said.
Hearing Tangyu concede, a deeper smile appeared on Zhou Tao’s face.
It quickly froze, however, as his expression drastically changed and he began to step back, shouting loudly, “Stop him, he’s a maniac.”
At Zhou Tao’s shout, the gunn quickly aid their guns at Tangyu, and several figures quickly rushed out from the cockpit.
Tangyu did not attack Zhou Tao but suddenly turned and dashed towards the sea.
The two gunn behind him hadn’t reacted before Tangyu grabbed them.
He hoisted them into the sea as if they were chickens.
The n behind retaliated, firing shots, but Tangyu had already used one gunman as a human shield.
Simultaneously, Liu Shanshan also jumped into the sea.
The gunn, realizing this, wanted to shoot, but hesitated without orders, knowing hostages were their biggest leverage.
Shooting the hostage would an losing their advantage.
Tangyu soared through the air like a winged eagle, covering nearly ten ters in one leap.
The gunn on the yacht aid at Tangyu, but after missing two shots, they lost their chance.
Tangyu landed on the yacht, grabbed the two gunn, and threw them into the water.
Zhou Tao and his n were dumbfounded.
Was this even human?
How did he manage that?
Without even a running start, he had jumped ten ters—how was this possible?
Even though the ship was two to three ters taller than the yacht, a ten-ter distance was still unbelievable.
If one hadn’t seen it with their eyes, they wouldn’t believe it, right?
It was astounding.
Zhou Tao’s facial muscles twitched.
Where did this monster co from to possess such terrifying abilities?
“Shoot quickly!
Don’t let them escape, chase them!” Zhou Tao regained his senses and yelled pointing toward the yacht.
“Shanshan, co on up!” Tangyu pulled Liu Shanshan onto the yacht and had her climb inside.
Tangyu then lowered his head, started the yacht, and sped off.
Zhou Tao and his n chased after them, with gunshots thundering like rain behind them.
But their large ship couldn’t compare to Tangyu’s yacht in speed; naturally, they couldn’t catch up.
Soon, Tangyu and Liu Shanshan reached a safe area.
“Ma De, damn it, he escaped.
This is infuriating,” Zhou Tao said, his face pale with anger.
He kicked the railing hard, not even feeling the pain.
He was greatly displeased.
He had spent a huge sum to set up this trap.
He thought it was foolproof, everything in his control, but he hadn’t expected that under such circumstances, Tangyu would still manage to escape with the hostage.
Such capability was truly admirable.
The man who had earlier been on the phone with Tangyu also showed a trace of surprise and admiration.
Even in such a situation, Tangyu had managed to escape safely with the hostage, which was a significant blow to him.
“Mr.
Zhou, we failed this mission.
Let’s retreat quickly; we can’t catch up anymore,” the man said.
Zhou Tao, furious, punched the railing and roared angrily, “I’m not satisfied, I’m not satisfied.
Tangyu, I’m not satisfied.”
“Outsmarted by our own cleverness, choosing the waterway at the beginning was a huge mistake.
We all fell into that misconception.
While the waterway seed the hardest escape route, it turns out it was actually the best for escaping.
I really didn’t expect you to be so freakishly capable.
We really miscalculated this ti.
Mr.
Zhou, let’s not waste any more ti watching; let’s leave,” the man said.
“Leave?
How?
This failure ans he will definitely not let off.
It’s either him or now, I have no retreat left,” Zhou Tao said.
