They reacted a moment later, asking tentatively, “Are you saying that… we got the wrong person?”
“This deal is off!” spat Song Enya before turning to leave.
Seeing that, the two abductors immediately shared a signal with each other and went to stop her. “You’re leaving already? How can this deal be called off just like that? It wasn’t easy for us to capture the boy, but just because of your one sentence, our efforts went to waste!”
“You guys didn’t even bring the person I want, yet you still want money from me?” The missy snorted and side-stepped them, only to be blocked by the men at the entrance. Clearly, they had no intention of letting her leave at will.
She gave them a sneer. “What? Are you trying to rob me now?”
A man rudely retorted with a smirk. “Ms. Song, there are rules for business dealings! We’ve done exactly as you ordered, so how can you blame us when it’s you who didn’t make yourself clear in the first place?”
“How would I know if you did your job properly? Who knows? You might’ve simply abducted a random kid; am I supposed to give you mission for that?”
“You can’t put things that way. How about this, Ms. Song? We might’ve failed to bring the person you want, but we ultimately did our fair share of work, so it’s only right that we get paid for our labor. A hundred thousand yuan is enough!”
She could not resist snorting. “How greedy you guys are!”
The two men, once again, exchanged eye-signals. Their friendly and flattering expressions had disappeared at that point.
Despite the growing fear inside her, she maintained a cool expression on her face and said, “Do you know who I am? How dare you block my way!”
“It doesn’t matter even if you’re God! Even if we don’t get the full sum of five hundred thousand, you must pay us for our efforts at the very least. We drove through the night just to take this boy to you. You can forget about leaving this place if you don’t pay us!”
“You!”
Fury robbed her of words as she realized that she was the one at a disadvantage for striking a deal with such people. Therefore, while breathing deeply to keep her cool, she expressionlessly withdrew a stack of money from her purse.
Upon seeing the thick wad of cash, the men exchanged looks. One of them immediately reached to snatch her purse over.
She watched in shock as he pulled out cash, which was estimated to be around sixty grand, and the two realized that the rest of the money must be in her car. Nevertheless, they were satisfied with this sum, so they did not make things difficult for her. After tossing her bag to the ground, they turned to leave.
The missy was beyond enraged as she watched them coolly drive off in their car.
She intended to leave the place, too, but upon recalling something, she turned to look at the child behind her with a frown. She did not say anything, though, and just simply made her exit.
Although she found the boy somewhat pitiful, she could not afford to care about him or she might get herself involved in unnecessary trouble. Thus, she left him to his devices; fate would decide whether he lived or died.
Baby Chu watched the woman leave and heard the roar of a car engine moments later. Only after seeing, through a window, the car speeding by did his heart finally settle down.
