Chapter 4 – Hostage (1)

Xiao Daiyu carefully opened the car door and slid out of the car, not daring to make any big movements. She decided not to close the car door completely since it would make noise, as long as no one noticed it was open she would be fine.

“Give up! You’re surrounded! If you don’t turn yourself in within an hour we will start shooting!”

“Heh! Surrounded?? Must I remind you I have 20 hostages here? If you’re not scared of knowing 20 innocent lives were lost because of you then go ahead and do it!”

The policemen looked around fidgeting. Besides surrounding the bank, they hadn’t truly done anything else to stop the robbery and the case was time sensitive since they had no idea if the suspects had any hidden means for escaping.

Under normal circumstances. Xiao Daiyu would have definitely helped save the hostages. But she couldn’t play hero anymore, not while she was still in a weak 5 years old body. If she did she would simply drag everyone down.

She seriously couldn’t tolerate not being able to help…

“What’s a little girl doing here?” The boy frowned as he watched the dirty Xiao Daiyu sneak around like a little thief.

“Hmm… I don’t know,” the man let out an amused hum as he watched the little girl look left and right before running through the crowd and go into into the small forest behind the bank. After she left, the sound of guns being shot was heard.

The man in the driver’s seat finally went out, but the boy didn’t follow him and only watched.

When the police officers saw an extraordinarily handsome man step out of the car, some immediately approached him to report the situation. But they couldn’t help but complain in their hearts

‘Mister-background-cant-be-identified-but-supposedly-came-to-help-us why are you so late? ‘

But of course, no one dared to voice their opinion.

The man instantly gave out a string of orders, it was only after that that the policemen began to do something. As the man commanded, they threw a smoke grenade into the bank.

Once the smoke screen was up, a few officers wearing gas masks and infrared glasses went into the bank. The Blood Sucking Vendetta’s people were swiftly comprehended and those who opposed were shot. In less than an hour, everything was back under control.

The man with the mysterious background turned to look at an officer.

“How many men did you say there were?”

The officer looked a little dazed after the unexpected question.

“Um… Ahem. Sir, 4 were shot, and the other 6 were comprehended, we got all 10 under our custody.”

“Count them”

“Huh?”

“I said count them,” the man’s gaze turned a few shades darker.

Frightened, the officer stumbled forward to count the suspects. When he did, he turned pale. He noticed that one of the ambulances in the back had nurses tied up, policemen knocked out, and no shot suspect getting treated.

“Sir! One of the suspects who was shot is missing!”

Xiao Daiyu casually picked up a rock while strolling in the small forest. She was still trying to digest the whole story of the novel and thinking on who to avoid while at it.

If she was not wrong, according to the date in the calendar she saw in the police car, the villain’s mother had already died.

As long as the villain’s father was determined to get his revenge, the villain’s road towards revenge was sealed and the grudge between the villain and the male lead’s father would grow to be unsolvable unless one of the two died.

If she really wanted to avoid the plot, then she would have to get out of this town.

She realized she was in a small town in the border between their country and country W. The male lead’s father was probably here for a transaction while the villain’s father was here to catch them in the act.

Which meant that the male lead was probably in the town as well.

As for what the transaction was… They were collecting little children and selling them for money. As for what the buyer did with the children, it had nothing to do with them. She would have originally been sold along with this group of children if things went according to the original plot.

In the novel, she was probably the least unfortunate among the children. She wasn’t sold because the male lead thought that she was beautiful, so was forced to stay and work as his maid.

The sudden sound of breathing and crunching of leaves woke Xiao Daiyu from her trance. When she reacted, a rough hand had already pulled her up. The metallic scent of blood immediately flooded her head and made her want to throw up. It was too late for her to make any move to run away.

“Don’t move”
