Chapter 104: A Thought of Life and Death
"Fortunately, it's not my dad, it's just a few bodyguards, it should be easy to fool." Sara smiled, her tone relaxed slightly.
"Let's be careful, although Mr. Bader will not be on the scene, the subordinates who can be trained by him are not necessarily simple people, and besides, we can't afford any surprises." I couldn't help but be cautious.
"Well, I've arranged everything, and it shouldn't be a problem to act according to the plan." Sara sighed and hugged me gently, "God willing." ”

The next day the sky was clear and clear, and such fine weather seemed to be a good omen for all the best, of course, if people really had the so-called foresight.
As planned, Si Tianzhe and I arrived at the scene a little later than Sara, and when we arrived on the roof of an abandoned high-rise building on the outskirts of the city, we saw the same scene that Sara had planned.
The setting sun faded to the last of its light, and darkness hit it, like a foreshadowing of the tense atmosphere of the moment.
There were no less than 10 gangsters, all covered their faces with black cloths, two of them held Ivy with daggers and stood on the edge of the top floor, while Sara led people to stand 10 meters away, looking like they had just arrived.
"I brought the money you asked for, and let her go." Sara muttered, motioning for her next man to hand over a box.
"Let her go? Joke. The knife-wielding gangster's gaze flickered, "You brought so many people over and let her go, can we still escape?" I said that you would only be alone, and since it is so insincere, I think we don't have to continue our deal. ”
"Heh, do you think you'll be able to escape if you don't let her go? While I still want to negotiate a deal with you calmly, it's best to think it through for me. Sara's tone was fierce, and she took two steps forward.
"If you dare to take another step forward, I'll immediately stab her in the face." Another assailant pressed a dagger to Ivy's face and threatened him.
Sara had to pause and soften her tone slightly, "What the hell do you want?" ”
The gangster raised his chin triumphantly, "It's very simple, give us the money, prepare two more cars for us, and when we get downstairs and get in the car safely, she will naturally be released." ”
Sara smiled coldly, "Do you think I'm stupid, I let you get into the car safely, and then you regret not letting her go, won't I regret it?" ”
"This young lady, don't worry, we have no grudges against her, just for money, and when we get the money, we will naturally let her go. Otherwise......" The knife-wielding gangster's eyes showed a ruffian smile, "It's a big deal, you shouldn't be willing to let such a beautiful young lady innocently accompany us to die, right?" Even if you don't die, it's really distressing to think about it when you think about it being scratched on such a flower-like face......"
"You dare to threaten me?" Sara narrowed her eyes and said fiercely.
"It's not a threat, it's a discussion." His flirtatious tone did not diminish at all, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest, "We don't have much time for you to think about it, how about it?" As he spoke, the dagger around Ivy's neck moved a little closer, almost touching his white skin.
The situation reached a stalemate, and Sara lowered her gaze, pretending to be deep in thought, speechless for a moment.
"Sara," I said, pulling her sleeve and admonishing, "it's important to save people, I think, forgive them for not daring to play any tricks." ”
Sara frowned, not retorting.
"Or this young lady understands things." The gangster's tone became more and more proud.
Sara pondered for a moment, her face finally sank, and her tone was ruthless, "I warn you, if you dare to play any tricks, I will make you regret it." She leaned over and motioned to her subordinates, "Do as he said, go and prepare." ”
Five minutes later, everything was ready.
"Give me all back away, into a corner." The knife-wielding assailant ordered, and seeing us cautiously retreating to the corner of the top floor, several people tightened their grip on Ivy, exchanged glances with each other, and began to slowly walk towards the small door in the other corner of the top floor.
"Back off, back back!"
A few people walked slowly, while observing our reaction, after a few steps, Si Tianzhe suddenly imperceptibly handed a look to the subordinates beside him, the two quickly stepped forward, and before the gangsters had time to react, they clamped the arms of the two gangsters holding knives respectively, and folded their backhands.
One of them was thrown to the ground by Si Tianzhe, and the other's knife was knocked down, but instead of letting go of the hand that was holding Ivy tightly, he quickly restrained Ivy.
Seeing this, Si Tianzhe and Sara's people on the side hurriedly rushed up and fought with the gangsters, and the situation was immediately chaotic.
The darkness swallowed the light of the sky little by little, and the chaos at the moment was undoubtedly in our favor, and several gangsters took advantage of the chaos to pull Ivy to the side, and the direction was straight to the edge of the top floor.
It's time.
Sara and I hurried over, and Si Tianzhe's people also quickly came to the "rescue", while Sara's men were entangled by the rest of the gangsters and it was difficult to get out for a while.
Downstairs, a high fire inflatable mat has been erected at some point, accompanied by sporadic lights, and a large number of onlookers are looking at the top floor, which has become the focus for a while.
Under the cover of the darkness and the chaotic fight around him, Ivy was quickly tied to a rope, and the next moment, several people nearby were inevitably out of control due to the fierce fighting, and inadvertently, someone crashed straight into Ivy......
Everyone held their breath and waited for this pre-designed "accident" to happen.
However, accidents are accidents after all, they are not manipulated by human will, and they are very easy to get out of control, and almost everyone in the chaos did not see what was happening, but I suddenly felt a very strong impact, and with the whirlwind of time, I was unstable under my feet and was pushed straight downstairs.
The plot took a sharp turn and caught everyone off guard.
"Qing Yu!"
"Ruori!"
In an instant, two frightened cries rang out, piercing the blue sky and immediately drowning in the wind whistling in my ears.
The heart stops beating for a moment. In the huge impact of gravitational acceleration, I couldn't even care about fear, only the thought of life and death exploded wildly in my mind.
What is the strongest feeling that wells up in the heart of man at the moment when he is closest to death?
It turned out that it was not fear, but a deep sense of emptiness.
The sense of emptiness that life is about to die but there is nothing to be done, the sense of emptiness that comes here in a hurry but can't take away a single wisp, and the sense of emptiness that I don't know if I will be missed.
And, with no one to accompany you, there is only a sense of emptiness that you can face the line of life and death alone.

I remember when Sara described her big plan to me, she once confidently said, "Our parents know that we both fell from the building, maybe they will relent, and then things will have infinite room to expand." ”
Sure enough, what she expected was good, things really have infinite room for development.
Infinitely broadened, exhausting the weird ending that I couldn't even predict in my imagination.
