One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 4454
4454 The Other Side 423
“That’s not possible.” Gong Jie rejected the idea outrightly. He had no intention of handing these goods to Jim in the first place. This was just a stalling tactic. In order to give Vermillion Bird better chances to rescue the hostages, he was stalling for time.
Jim narrowed his eyes and secretly sized up Gong Jie. He bluntly voiced his worries. “I don’t know if you’ve deployed your troops at the port. What if I were to be ambushed by your men when I get to the port? I won’t take such risks!”
Gong Jie smiled. “If I have any designs on you, I can deal with you here.”
“Oh? And how are you going to guarantee that?!”
!!
Gong Jie gave an icy smirk and snapped his fingers lightly. In the next second, the mercenary closest to Jim was shot in the head by a sniper who was hidden at a distance. The whistling bullet instantly pierced through the mercenary’s head. The warm blood splattered on Jim’s body. Warm blood immediately trickled down the corner of the dead man’s mouth.
Jim froze!
Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. “Is that enough to prove it?”
The other mercenaries beside Jim reacted at the same time. Almost in unison, they aimed their guns at Gong Jie.
With his hands in his pockets, Gong Jie remained unmoved by the man’s hostile aura. He did not think that Jim would dare to let these mercenaries attack. And the calmer he was, the more agitated Jim became!
Jim waved his hand and shouted, “Damn it! Put down your guns! Do you want me killed?!”
If they had fired at Gong Jie, he knew he’d be shot by the sniper even before Gong Jie’s body hit the ground!
Jim was scared of being killed.
Gong Jie shot him a disdainful look. “Do you think I’m really here for those three hostages? Jim, if you don’t even have the attitude to go to the port to inspect the goods yourself, ha, even the mercenaries around you won’t live long, let alone you.”
His tone was unyielding. However, one had to have the capital to be tough.
Jim knew very well that Gong Jie did have what it took to be tough. However, he was also certain that the man would not kill him so easily.
He had this realization before he came over. What awaited him this time was not a deal, but a game between the two sides!
Jim also vaguely realized that Gong Jie might be stalling for time. At this moment, he might have already sent troops to search for the three hostages. However, he was also very sure that the lives of the three hostages were in his hands. This was also the last bargaining chip he had!
“I can go to the port with you, but I’m warning you, you’d better not play any tricks. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, those three hostages will definitely die!”
Even if he managed to find the hostages, he had to break through the encirclement of the evil cultists. And if he managed to kill his way out, he would become a wanted criminal for manslaughter alone.
Although he was an evil cult disciple, that would not give Gong Jie the right to kill at will.
Gong Jie’s expression darkened. He only prayed in his heart that Vermillion Bird would be able to find the three hostages as soon as possible.
“Lead the way to the port!”
Jim took a step back.
Gong Jie’s hidden mercenaries appeared immediately and led Jim and his men towards the harbor.
