Chapter 21: Confrontation

After Jian Bai saw this message, he hurriedly called Su Mei's mobile phone, but it was turned off again.

At this moment, she felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and it took a long time to ease up.

On the one hand, it is the life of her best friend, and on the other hand, it is the relics she worked so hard to get back, and her grandfather's most cherished relics, which she values more than her own life.

How to choose?

I don't have a choice.

No matter how precious the jade dragon is, it is just an object, and it cannot be compared with a living life.

I didn't choose it for nothing.

She looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock, and it was at least a two-hour drive from her house to the North Bay Reservoir, and it seemed that the other party had calculated the time to send her a message, that is, she had no time to prepare.

Time waits for no one, Jian Bai hurriedly took out a backpack and took out the jade dragon from the safe, her fingers reluctantly stroked the lines on it, and her grandfather held her little hand back then and touched them one by one.

She felt the lines as if she was still sitting on her grandfather's lap, whose large, rough and warm hands still wrapped around her little hands.

Jian Bai wiped the tears from his face, found a person's name in the address book, hesitated for a moment, and finally sent him a message.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, so she neatly tied her hair into a ponytail with a hair tie, put on a black coat and went downstairs.

As soon as she left the house, a taxi passed by in front of her shop, so she quickly stopped it and reported her destination - North Bay Reservoir.

Holding his backpack tightly in his arms, he glanced at the time on his phone from time to time, and spent his days like years.

"Little girl, what are you doing alone at the North Bay Reservoir so late?" The driver looked at Jane's pale little face from the rearview mirror and asked kindly.

"A friend of mine asked me to go there for a little bit of a problem!" She replied vaguely.

"Is it a boyfriend? Little girl, be careful, there were girls who were killed and thrown there in that place before, you still have to pay attention to safety! ”

The driver is a middle-aged man, and it seems that there are quite a lot of words.

Jian Bai didn't have the heart to say more to him, and reluctantly pulled out a smile, "It's okay, he won't hurt me." He said no more, and looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the driver saw her like that, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, obviously thinking that Jian Bai was the kind of girl who was carried away by love without persuasion.

Eleven fifty a.m.

Jian Bai finally arrived at the reservoir before the allotted time.

When I got out of the car, it was dark all around, especially the reservoir with a radius of nearly 100 hectares was like the huge mouth of a giant beast's black hole in the night, trying to devour everything.

There were no street lights, and not far away there was a small house for the people who managed the reservoir, and a light bulb glowing with a dim light under the eaves in front of it.

Jian Bai took advantage of the moonlight, which was not bright, and walked towards the small house with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Although the kidnappers did not say that she should go to the small house, there was no one around, and the only possible person was the small house.

As soon as she came to the door of the small house, her mobile phone rang, and a message came, only two words: Come in!

She guessed right.

Jian Bai clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, raised his right hand and opened the door.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt a wind in her ears, and before she could turn around, someone put a dagger on her neck from behind.

"Don't make a sound, go inside." The man's voice was low, and the cold air of the blade of the dagger around his neck seeped into his skin.

Jian Bai bit her lip, a fishy sweet breath appeared in her mouth, and the backpack was pulled by the person behind her, pushing her inside.

The knife was on his neck, and Jian Bai had no choice but to be at the mercy of others.

When he walked inside, the lights were still dim, and there were two people in the room, one sitting on a wooden chair, and the other standing next to him.

Both men, without exception, wore the mask of a demon on their faces.

However, Jian Bai's heart was a little calmer when he saw them wearing masks, which at least showed that they didn't want to kill her and Su Mei right away, as long as they didn't see their faces, there was still room for relaxation.

The man behind her with the knife tossed the bag to the man standing, "Stuff in there." ”

The man spoke in a muffled voice, apparently wearing a mask as well.

The man standing took the simple white backpack, took out the box from it, and threw the backpack on the ground.

He glanced at Jian Bai, placed the box on a broken table beside him, and opened it very carefully.

"Dead girl, you dare to lie to us!" The man took out an ordinary stone from the box and threw it at Jian Bai's feet.

"You don't want your friend's life, not even your own?" The man said angrily, and the anger in his eyes could be felt even though he was wearing a mask.

"I want to, of course I want to, I just want to save our lives so I didn't bring the real thing." Jian Bai was scared in her heart, and her palms were full of cold sweat, but she looked quite calm.

"If I bring the Jade Dragon Warrior here, I'm afraid you'll kill me and my friends right now. Am I right? The last half of her sentence was addressed to the person sitting in the chair.

The man who was standing was about to say something, but the man sitting in the chair raised his hand to stop him.

"Miss Jian has the guts, I can give you a chance, I am not a person who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as you hand over the Jade Dragon Tree to me, I will definitely let you and your friends go."

He waved his hand, and the man standing next to him opened the other corner door of the room and dragged a man out of it.

Jian Bai fixed his eyes and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Su Mei.

Su Mei was tied very tightly by Wuhuada, and there was something stuffed in her mouth, and after seeing Jian Bai, she began to struggle desperately, wanting to speak but couldn't speak.

"Su Mei, how are you?" Jian Bai also wanted to go over, but the knife on her neck pressed her and didn't let her move.

Su Mei shook his head vigorously, and his mouth made a "whine" sound.

"If you want the jade dragon, let my friend go first, and I'll take you to get it." Jane Bai looked at the man who was seated.

The man sitting chuckled, "Little girl, play with me, you're still too tender." I can tolerate you messing around once, but not a second time.

I'll have someone take you to pick up your things, and I'll make sure you'll be released when you bring them back. Otherwise......"

He gestured to the man holding Su Mei, and the other party understood, threw Su Mei to the ground and kicked him hard.

Su Mei was kicked right in the stomach, and the whole person was so painful that he couldn't make a sound, and bent over to become a shrimp.

"Don't hurt her, or you won't get anything even if you kill us." Jian Bai's eyes were on fire, and he rushed in the direction of Su Mei regardless of whether the knife on his neck was cut into the flesh or not.

But after all, she had little strength, and was easily pulled back by the man behind her, and there was a bloody cut on her neck, and bright red blood beads slid down her collarbone into her clothes.

"Is the little girl fighting with us? You are all in my hands now, and I can ask once and break one of your fingers, do you believe it?

I'd like to see how long you can last? The seated man sneered.
