Chapter 572 A Trade-off?

As she got out of the car, a person rushed out from inside, "Kill!"

It seemed they had already scouted the surroundings and confirmed no police intervention, which is why they dared to attack directly.

Huo Rou's eyes flickered, these people were indeed extremely impulsive.

They hadn't even closed the door properly, and they were already so rash.

Qin Ningyi's hand reached out from inside the car. In an instant, Huo Rou was back in the car. A bullet hit the car door, leaving a noticeable mark.

Under Qin Ningyi's control, the car rammed towards the people around. Between flesh and steel, the car would always win.

A voice from inside the room shouted, "Your son, you don't even care about him?"

Huo Rou's pale face was reflected in the car window.

They dared not bring An'an out. Once exposed, many things would be difficult to control.

The other party also understood Huo Rou's concerns. They had indeed been too impulsive earlier, thinking Huo Rou was just a weak woman they could kill however they pleased. Who knew she could retreat back into the car?

"Get out of the car!" Someone came out of the room and kicked the leg of the person at the door. "I promise, we won't hurt you here."

What happened after going inside was another matter entirely. That person already had a plan in mind.

"What do I have to do to get my son back?" Huo Rou was also stubborn, and seemed to be genuinely frightened, refusing to show herself again.

The goal of these people was to eliminate Huo Rou, this stumbling block. Naturally, they wouldn't kill An'an, their bargaining chip, before they got her. Now that Huo Rou was in front of them, just a small step away from their goal, they gritted their teeth and tried to coax her.

"As long as you come in, we'll release him immediately."

"We just need you to help us make medicine."

...

All eyes were focused on this scene. He Zhongwu should have made his move by now.

Huo Rou tugged at the corner of her lips, continuing to stall them.

These people's patience was extremely limited. In just a short while, their ugly true faces began to show.

"Is this bitch playing us?!"

"Go drag that kid out to the back of the door! Give him a couple of needles so she can hear him!"

Huo Rou's expression changed. Qin Ningyi had already pointed the black muzzle of the gun at that person.

"How about a trade?" a voice came from the right rear of Huo Rou and Qin Ningyi.

The person who had gone in to snatch An'an stopped and looked over.

"This woman, for that child." Pei Feng placed Chen Li in front of himself, revealing her face.

"Chen Li!" Someone recognized her. "That's Sister Chen!"

"Wasn't Chen Li in the hospital?"

"Quick, call the boss!"

Chen Li's appearance had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the boss, Ma Xiu, asked, "Are you sure? Is it really Chen Li?"

"Yes!"

Pei Feng looked at their flustered state, and his approval for Huo Rou increased. Could Huo Rou's foresight truly be from the person he knew?

As they spoke, Pei Feng had already reached the car with Chen Li as his shield.

"Chen Li, say something." Pei Feng patted Chen Li's face. Chen Li had woken up some time ago but was weakened by a secret medicine he had given her.

Chen Li very laboriously opened her eyes and looked towards the office building. Just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of Huo Rou through the car window.

Her pupils trembled. She looked at the person at the entrance of the office building. "Be careful, Huo..."

Pei Feng, with quick hands, knocked her unconscious.

"Stop!" The people around shouted urgently.

Pei Feng, holding Chen Li, asked, "Trade?"

Everyone looked at each other, and silence fell in front of the office building.

Inside the office building, the boss irritably extinguished a cigarette butt. "Little Li trained as an expert in Country Y for three years, how could she have been captured?"

He couldn't understand it. Chen Li was his most favored companion and his most elite operative. He had arranged for her to stay in the hospital precisely to guard against unforeseen circumstances, so how could she have been captured?

"Boss, Sister Chen is someone you value most. Should we..." the subordinate asked respectfully.

Everyone knew how special Chen Li was. Between Chen Li's life and avenging Huo Rou's interference, no one could be sure which one the boss would choose.

The boss's expression was terrifyingly grim.

"Where is the old gentleman?" he suddenly asked after a long silence.

"The factory has been under close scrutiny lately. The old gentleman should be staying at the Yige Villa today."

This villa was quite close to their location.

"Take that child and retreat. Head to the old gentleman's place!"

The old gentleman's place was filled with poisonous creatures. As long as the other party came into contact with them, all their problems would be solved.

Chen Li would survive, Huo Rou would surely die, and if they were lucky, they could even take a group of pursuing soldiers with them.

Upon hearing they were going to the old gentleman's place, the subordinate instinctively shivered, touching his still aching arm, not entirely willing.

But thinking about it, he dared not disobey the order and resigned himself to going downstairs to take An'an away. They would leave directly through a secret passage on the second floor.

The boss was already waiting by a cabinet. When he grew impatient, a subordinate rushed in, without An'an.

"Boss! Someone, someone has abducted that... child!" He gasped, his heart in a panic.

As soon as he came downstairs, he saw all eyes and attention drawn to the entrance. It seemed no one noticed that there was no one on the bench anymore!
