Chapter 853: The Storm of Team Building (4)
He was stunned for a moment before he quickly said,”No, I mean, if you have any requests, just say it. Don’t shoot…”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu finally realized that they were still surrounded.
The commotion in the bus naturally did not escape the people below. The thugs who were originally preparing to wreak havoc quickly dressed up and surrounded the entire car.
Zhao Yu stealthily lowered his body to prevent someone from taking the risk and shooting from behind.
” Can you let us go? We’re colleagues!”
“Sure, sure. I only wanted to bring you guys to visit the temple. I don’t have any other intentions…”
Old Yu was treated as a hostage. For the sake of his own life, he naturally dared to agree to anything.
“Alright, let them all go down…” Zhao Yu continued.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll tell them now…”
Old Yu began to talk to the thugs in the Canaan language again.
But this time, things didn’t go well. Both sides had a heated debate.
Old Yu’s ears turned red from the noise, and he shouted with bloodshot eyes.
The thugs seemed to hesitate, but they eventually compromised and got out of the car one by one.
However, they did not leave after they got off the bus. They surrounded the bus and kept an eye on the hostages.
Zhao Yu took the opportunity to glance outside.
On the ground, the boy behind Zheng Zi Qiu had been beaten so badly that he could not stand up. He was lying on the ground.
The other boys and a few girls were squatting together with their heads in their hands.
There were also three girls whose clothes were disheveled. At this moment, they were still in shock as they tidied up their clothes.
“Get all of them up here…” Zhao Yu said when he saw this.
“This…” Old Yu was a little hesitant. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation and he did not know how to deal with it.
Zhao Yu’s grip suddenly became a little heavier, strangling Old Yu until he could not breathe.
“Alright, alright, alright…I told them…”
Very soon, Old Yu shouted for a while again.
The thugs did not hesitate this time and let everyone get into the car.
There was only one person who was standing at the door with some hesitation.
Zheng Zi Qiu didn’t expect Zhao Yu to be able to control the situation. He had just betrayed everyone, so he didn’t know if he should go up now.
The thugs were merciless. Seeing he wasn’t moving, they gave him a swift kick to get him up.
Zheng Zi Qiu stumbled forward, his face a mask of embarrassment and fear.
The three girls, who had almost been assaulted, immediately broke into tears once they were up. One of them even started punching and kicking Old Yu.
“Stop moving!”
Seeing the chaos, Zhao Yu, afraid that Old Yu might seize the chance to escape, shouted urgently.
The others, also alarmed, quickly pulled the three girls to the back.
Zhao Yu kept a firm grip on Old Yu, marching him to the front row.
Noticing the driver still in the vehicle, Zhao Yu barked, “You get out too!”
The driver had conversed with Old Yu in their language earlier, so Zhao Yu knew he could understand.
The driver hesitated, then looked towards Old Yu.
“Listen to him, get out,” Old Yu said helplessly.
Obediently, the driver swiftly opened the door and stepped out.
Zhao Yu turned sideways and glanced back. “Can any of you drive…?”
“I… I can!”
Someone timidly raised a hand. Though still scared, they moved to the driver’s seat.
“Turn around, we’re heading back…”
“No way…”
Seeing their plan, the thugs below were having none of it. They lifted their rifles and fired a volley into the air.
“Ahhh!”
Panic erupted in the vehicle, with many ducking to the floor in fear.
Old Yu, now calmer, realized Zhao Yu intended to take him along.
Given his past, being captured would mean a life sentence or worse. If Zhao Yu shot him here in Canaan, nobody would care.
Even if his organization avenged him, it would mean nothing if he were dead.
With the commotion outside, Old Yu quickly demanded, “Zhao Yu, they want you to leave me behind. If not, nobody gets to leave…”
Old Yu understood that returning empty-handed would be disastrous.
The organization had invested heavily, posing as a company, relying on these thirty or forty people to turn a profit.
Zhao Yu hesitated, shaking his head.
“No way. If I leave you, how will we escape?!”
He wasn’t naive. Armed with only a handgun, he couldn’t stand a chance against the thugs’ rifles. Leaving Old Yu would make them easy prey.
“Then you come down with me. The others can go, but you must come down…”
Old Yu’s mind raced.
He knew Zhao Yu wouldn’t let him off the bus easily, but he couldn’t go with them either.
He needed Zhao Yu to stay, the rest were irrelevant.
Zhao Yu fell silent, contemplating the difficult situation.
“He is right!”
“Zhao Yu, why don’t you go down with him?!”
Someone couldn’t help but suggest.
“Yeah, you have a gun. You might have a chance to escape if you go down…”
As others chimed in, urging him.
Zhao Yu found himself surprised but also considering that this might be the only way to get out of this alive.
