Chapter 1615
The shop owner instinctively reached out to block the attack, and the knife cut through his palm. Although it slowed down theforce, it still stabbed into his stomach firmly.
Blood gushed out instantly, as the shop owner clutched his wound and collapsed.
The driver was shocked. When he saw the man going berserk and was about to stab the shop owner again, he immediatelyreversed the car and lightly bumped into him." Are you leaving or not? Because | am!"
It was only then the man stopped and quickly got into the van.
Stella felt a chill down her spine. It was supposed to be a mere kidnapping, and there was no need to harm an innocent person.The fact that the man was carrying a knife showed that he was a psychopath!
"Fuck, are you out of your mind?" the driver cursed, as he sped away from the scene. "Do you want to get the police's attentionor what?"
"The police are already coming after us." The man wiped the bloodstain with a piece of tissue from the knife and threw it out ofthe car window. Then, he said coldly, "When we were paying for the items, that scumbag answered a phone call and hisexpression immediately changed. He was trying to stall us for the police by saying he undercharged us!"
The driver's face turned gloomy. "We agreed on using the drug, yet you chose to fucking attack him on the street instead. Youalerted the security guard, yet you just caused us another problem!"
The man's face remained expressionless, as he said, "Go in the opposite direction. The police are going to trace us here. Wecan't go to the place we scouted earlier.”
"Fuck!" The driver felt frustrated and turned the van around.Keegan's heart sank.
The police did not take his suggestion and contacted the shop owner directly. The kidnappers were alarmed, and they changedtheir original plan. Now, the police would most probably lose them, and Keegan had to find another way to send them theirlocation.
Just over ten minutes after the kidnapper's van had left, the police arrived at the scene. They saw the injured shop owner, and itwas only then the officer realized that it was not just an ordinary dispute he had assumed; the kidnappers would really harm thehostages.novelbin
Fortunately, the staff in the shop managed to stop the bleeding in time, and the ambulance had arrived.Consequently, the shop owner lived through the incident.
The police did not reveal much detail when they called the shop to ask about the van.
However, the shop owner had previously worked as an
auxiliary police officer when he was younger. When he saw the group of people entering his store, he noticed that all of themwere heavily dressed, and they also intentionally lowered their tone when they spoke. So, he could sense that something was offabout them. Then, when the police called to ask about the kidnapping case, he became even more certain.
So, he came up with an excuse to go outside and check things out. When he talked to the driver, he noticed the bloodstainedshirt and a person in the backseat through the gap in the window.He intended to stall the kidnappers, but he did not expect that they would be so vigilant.
Before the shop owner was taken away by the ambulance, he described to the police, "I couldn't really see the faces of the driverand the man who was wearing a pair of white shoes. But | did see the man who was wearing a cap clearly. He's probably aroundhis forties, and he has a long scar behind his left ear that seems to extend from the top of his head down. He has a very hostile-looking face.
"Oh, and | think there's something wrong with his eyes."The police officer paused and asked, "His eyes? What's wrong with it?"
The shop owner shook his head, frowned, and thought for a few seconds before he said, "When he entered the store, he askedme about the price of a pack of Marlboro Blue, and | told him. After they were done shopping and went to check out, myemployee was the one who scanned the items for them. But the price of that pack of cigarettes came out different from what |had told him. He got very angry and said something to my employee."
"What did he say?"
"He said: "You told me it was twelve dollars when | asked you just now. Why is it showing fourteen?”
