stand-in offense and defense

The car drove for a long time before stopping.

Sheng Bin felt like he had gone around a few times, but because he was so unfamiliar with this place, it was almost impossible to remember the way.

Feeling that the car stopped, the two people in the car drove them out of the car. Su Shi looked around and found that there were hardly any buildings. The people around were basically holding guns, and the eyes staring at them revealed a coldness close to cruelty.

After they were driven into one of the entire tents, Di Ruizhong said in a low voice: "It seems that this is just a temporary guard for them, that's okay..."

Su Shi glanced at him: "What do you mean?"

"They didn't mask us when they kidnapped us, and they didn't put a hood on us. If this is their base camp, then we are dead."

This explanation was given by Sheng Bin. The three of them were driven to the edge of the tent and ordered to squat down.Apart from the few people in the car and them, there were already more than a dozen hostages in the tent itself. Obviously, these people were used to this kind of thing.

But Di Ruizhong was right, depending on the situation, they were only asking for money, and had no intention of killing anyone.

While Sheng Bin and the others were thinking about what to do next, the panic-looking child who was in their car just now started crying in a low voice.

In the car, I probably didn’t dare because I was too scared. Now my emotions have been suppressed to a certain extent, and I don’t even care about the comfort and dissuasion of the adults next to me. The tent was filled with such heart-piercing cries, and the pressure began to intensify imperceptibly.

After a while, a man in charge of guarding outside came in, waved a gun and roared loudly.

Let the child stop crying.

The child's mother hugged her child tremblingly, desperately trying to silence the child's crying, lest it would anger the group of people in exchange for harm, but the child's face was flushed and he couldn't stop crying. They all began to avoid subconsciously, not wanting to be affected.

Sure enough, the man with the gun came over angrily, kicked the woman holding the child over, and put the gun to her forehead: "If you cry again, I will kill you!"

The woman was so frightened that she couldn't even make a sound.

The tent was filled with a suffocating smell. Judging from their clothes, it seemed that some people had been arrested for a while, and their mental condition was very poor. They curled up in a corner and did not dare to say a word. Asians keep their heads down and can't see their faces clearly, so they can't tell which country they are from.

Sheng Bin kept staring there, and Su Shi naturally noticed it too. After a while, when the guard walked out, he picked up a small stone on the ground, avoided the others and threw it there.

It was very accurate.

It happened to hit one of the men on the shoulder, and when he looked up hastily, he happened to meet the eyes of Su Shi and Sheng Bin.

Sheng Bin asked slowly with his lips: "Are you Chinese?"

The other party kept nodding in surprise.

While nodding, he also bumped into the person next to him, so Sheng Bin and the others saw clearly that the person next to him turned out to be two women.It's just because they all have short hair and they kept their heads down just now, so I didn't notice it.After roughly assessing the situation, Sheng Bin pursed his lips not very optimistically.

Just at this time, the guard came in again and threw a phone call to the person who was in the car with Sheng Bin just now: "You only have 2 minutes, find someone to save you with 50 US dollars, when will the money be paid? Let them go." But it is obvious that the timing is very delicate, if you still can't get the money together, there is only one dead end.

The man who picked up the phone was at a loss and tried to explain: "...it's impossible for me to have... so much money..."

The answer to this sentence was the swarthy muzzle.

"If you don't have money, you die."

There was no room for bargaining with the other party's words. The man dialed out the phone tremblingly, and there was a faint cry of helplessness when he spoke.

Judging from the language, he should also be an Arab, and this amount is obviously an astronomical figure for him.

The call time was said to be 2 minutes, but in fact, some of them were forcibly cut off after less than 1 minute. After two or three people finished calling, they were in Sheng Bin's hands.

When Sheng Bin dialed the number, he glanced at Su Shi, and then hung up the call after saying a few words.

And after he finished calling, the phone was picked up.

To be precise, it was smashed in front of them.

"The rest will wait for tomorrow."

The Arab smashed the phone and went out. Sheng Bin frowned and didn't say anything.

All their belongings have been searched, except for their clothes, there is basically nothing left, and their hands are still tied. After a long time, they always feel cold in their fingers, almost numb.

As hostages, their treatment would not be very good. After a few people finished making phone calls, dozens of them were thrown in the tent. From the gaps in the tent, the sky was gradually getting darker. Many people Unable to hold on for a long time, they sat on the ground instead. Sheng Bin and Su Shi leaned on the wooden stake behind them, both looking tired.

When encountering such a thing, it cannot be summed up in two simple words: unlucky.

What happened in the past few days flashed in my mind uncontrollably, and in the end, it was only fixed on the faces of two people standing under the sun, their faces stiffened from arguing.

"If I call Tian Lan and say that I have been kidnapped here, I don't know if he will believe it or not." Su Shi's self-deprecating words are a bit helpless, the main reason is that everything happened too fast, just like making a movie , Ren who has taken a turn for the worse can accept incompetence.

Sheng Bin kept his eyes half closed: "Don't worry, it's fine..."

He has been repeating this sentence ever since they were kidnapped.

Su Shi glanced at him: "Who did you call that call just now?"

Without any address, I just explained the situation in that tone of facial paralysis, and then hung up.I thought he would take advantage of the phone call to send some messages to help himself, but it really didn't look like it.

Sheng Bin didn't answer, but moved his arms a little uncomfortable: "Our identities must not be revealed." After saying this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Su Shi: "When you call Tian Lan, except Ask for money and don't try to reveal anything."

These people are obviously terrorists.

The extortion money is nothing more than their expenses. For them, they are asking for money but killing people does not have any impact on this kind of people. What's more, when it really comes time to kill people, they just will be more excited.

When Di Ruizhong heard this, he couldn't help snorting: "Sheng Bin, I really didn't expect you to be so afraid of death."

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

Sheng Bin didn't even look at Di Ruizhong. At this time, he was in no mood to deal with the culprit who was currently in such a state of distress.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't that he engaged in so many methods, and Su Shi didn't have to go back to China.

However, at this time, it is useless to pursue responsibility. During this time, Sheng Bin searched many international kidnapping incidents that he had known about in his mind. He wanted to find a surefire solution, but he had no clue.

After all, he has been in the secretariat all along, and he doesn't have the experience to deal with this kind of situation.

Sighing a little irritably, what he needs most at this time is a cigarette.

And Su Shi just looked at him from the side, with complicated eyes but didn't interrupt.

After it was completely dark, people from outside came in to deliver food once.

The shriveled bread and water did not intend to untie them at all, so they threw the things on the ground casually, then turned and left.

Anyway, the outside of this tent is full of guards, even if it grows wings, it cannot fly out.

Some people who have been locked up for a few days are obviously more experienced. They rushed to the front to fight for the food as soon as it was thrown in. Sheng Bin and Su Shi were even knocked to the side because of this momentum. Because they were close, they moved faster, grabbed two breads and two bottles of water, kept one for themselves, and threw the rest to Su Shi.

Because his hands were tied, he couldn't hold any more.

The few Chinese who were originally locked in the corner also took the opportunity to join Sheng Bin and the others. They didn't even look at the food, but just grabbed Sheng Bin's arm: "Please... help my daughter pay the ransom, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life, please, please..." After finishing speaking, regardless of Sheng Bin's reaction, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Only then did Su Shi and the others see clearly that the two girls were actually not very old.

They looked at them anxiously with their eyes open, and they couldn't hold back the man who kept kowtowing.

The two girls are worth 100 million US dollars. Sheng Bin glanced at Su Shi, who didn't speak.

Sheng Bin grabbed the man when he was almost exhausted, and asked a few words: "Are you tourists?" It didn't look like they were working here.

"Um……"

The man nodded: "I was originally with the tour group. Before leaving, I broke up with the group because of something. We didn't know the place well, so we hired a car to wait at the airport. Who knows..."

That being said, the situation is actually similar to them.The only thing that can be reached by this road is the airport, which is probably why it became the target of this group of militants, because most of them are tourists.

Sheng Bin looked at the two girls next to him: "You have been arrested for a few days."

"Eight days..."

"eight days?"

Su Shi was a little surprised: "I never thought of a way?"

"We... can't afford so much money..." When the man said this, his face was as pale as paper.

Even if his family wasted money, it was impossible to come up with such a terrible ransom of 150 million US dollars. When he was allowed to make a second phone call, his brother cried and told him that he had tried all possible methods and called the police. It was useless, and there was no reply to the embassy for help. To put it bluntly, no one would take out such a sum for nothing.

Thinking of his possible ending, the man trembled all over his body: "...it doesn't matter if I die...I just beg you, save my daughter...please..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed again.

Sheng Bin stopped him: "We are also in danger now, and it is useless for you to kneel... We have been locked up for eight days. Do you understand the general situation here?"

"learn……"

Trembling, the man described the approximate number of people in the group, including when the food would be served, and how long it would take for them to call. Finally, he grabbed Sheng Bin's arm and wailed mournfully: "We were arrested and brought in." At that time, there were still a few people... who couldn't get the money... and then... and then... you were arrested today, I knew there was not much time..."

The tent can only hold a limited number of people, and when they capture new hostages, they will deal with those who have no hope of paying the ransom.

Su Shi couldn't help cursing when he heard it now: "Fuck!"
