"Do you have a girlfriend?""..."
Shi Xiaohai suddenly looked up, the alertness in his expression growing even more pronounced.
"That Jiang Huan... the kindergarten teacher, she’s your girlfriend, right?"
"She has nothing to do with this! She’s just an ordinary teacher!"
Shi Xiaohai immediately appeared more panicked!
Yin Shixiu slightly raised his hand, signaling him not to get too excited,
"Whether she’s an ordinary teacher is a later story... what I want to say is, when you have a family of your own, with your own kids, by then, you will definitely regret what you’re doing today."
No need for Yin Shixiu to say it, Shi Xiaohai was already wallowing in regret.
At this moment, the two brothers with different sized eyes in the next room exchanged uneasy glances.
The big-eyed thug whispered to his little brother,
"Is this guy reliable or not? At this point, the kid’s parents are here, why are they still so tough? Aren’t they afraid of killing the kid?"
The small-eyed thug didn’t get it either; through the wall, the sounds from the next room didn’t seem like a crime scene.
"Anyway, quickly change your clothes and go downstairs to get the money."
"Bro... I-I’m a bit scared."
"Scared of what? We already cleared this over the phone; if they brought the police, we kill! Would they dare bring cops?"
"I... I feel there are police..."
The small-eyed thug swallowed and muttered.
"If there were police, we’d hear sirens miles away; it’s so quiet outside now, not even a dog’s barking!"
"That’s exactly why I’m scared; it’s too terrifyingly quiet out there."
"Damn it!"
"Shh..."
The small-eyed thug clutched his own heart, like a startled bird.
"Even if the police come, they’re watching the brothers. Just pretend to take out the trash, who would stop you?"
The room the four were in was even worse than the previous one, with only a small glass window, dirty enough you couldn’t see outside.
Plus, they were scared, and didn’t dare to open even the small window.
Shi Xiaoyang and Shuangshuang were tied together.
The little girl, originally too tired, slept leaning against Shi Xiaoyang but vaguely heard the voices of her parents next door.
She kept her eyes open, always feeling like her parents would push the door and take her out any second.
However...
The little girl felt she had waited so long...
"Wang Xiaowu, can’t you have some guts! At this point, you’re chickening out?!"
The big-eyed thug grabbed his brother’s collar, glaring at him.
Wang Xiaowu’s small eyes shifted, he nodded,
"I’ll go, I’m going now."
Only then did the elder brother release his collar.
At that moment, a knock was heard.
The two thugs locked eyes and were startled.
"Bro, who, who is it?"
"Don’t stammer, go ask!"
"... Maybe we should pretend we’re not here?"
"What if someone forces their way in! Go ask!"
"Oh, oh."
Wang Xiaowu carefully walked behind the door, asking,
"Who is it, what’s the matter?"
"Xiaowu, it’s the boss."
"Boss? Why?"
Wang Xiaowu quickly asked a question, then turned to his brother, "Bro, it’s okay, just the innkeeper."
"I’m here to give you news..."
The boss’s voice was low, Wang Xiaowu pressed his ear against the door to listen closely,
"What news?"
"My wife called saying she saw police in town, planning a bust!"
"..."
Wang Xiaowu was shocked, quickly looking at his brother, "There really are police, what do we do?"
"Xiaowu, do you want to hide in the warehouse on the roof? This room’s right next door, afraid the police might use it when they come!"
The boss’s suggestion made Wang Xiaowu slap his thigh,
"Damn, it’s possible! Bro, should we hide first?"
"..."
The big-eyed thug wasn’t a hardened criminal, his eyes were already darting...
"Xiaowu, are you still listening?"
The boss outside was still urging in a low voice.
Wang Xiaowu looked at his brother,
"Bro..."
"Ask the boss, what’s the situation next door? Is it really just the couple?"
Wang Xiaowu asked, and the boss immediately answered,
"Yes, just that couple, but the police will be here soon!"
"Bro..."
Wang Xiaowu looked anxious, the big-eyed thug finally said,
"Okay, you go down first, get the money. Meet at our agreed spot."
