My Little Poplar - Chap 98

Waiting for dawn, the most difficult time in Bai Xinyu’s life. His arms, suspended from the ceiling with 70 kilos of his body weight on them, although they gave him the pain of pulling and dislocating them at times, were far more torturous than the mental torture. If the Snowleopard team doesn’t get to him within three hours, he will be dead and even if Zhongwei is willing to trade the information for him, the kidnappers will never let him go and he will not die a comfortable death.

Bai Xinyu bit his lip, forcing himself to wake-up a bit and starts to take stock of his surroundings, looking for a silver lining.

They are now in the open hall of the factory, the hall ceiling is three stories high, the rope holding him is tied to a railing on the first floor, facing him are 23 of Zhongwei’s men, there are ten armed guards in the hall, there are more upstairs and outside the factory, some of them are in his blind spot, getting out from under so many eyes is difficult.

He looked up, above his head, his hands were only a few dozen centimetres from the parapet on the first floor but he couldn’t see if there was anyone above him, if not, he might be able to get over to the first floor…

The masked leader is studying the satellite receiver and computer he destroyed with the others, he hears them discussing whether to move the place.

Bai Xinyu felt it would be in his interest to move or not, if he did, he could still wait for an opportunity to escape on the way but he didn’t think they would, they seemed confident in the secrecy of the place and with just over two hours to go before the final negotiations, it would be difficult to find a suitable place to land with the dozens of men.

Sure enough, in the end they didn’t move, probably because they didn’t think the rescuers would find the place in three hours, Bai Xinyu was confident in the ability of the Snowleopard team to move, the Snowleopard would find the place sooner or later, it was just a matter of time and time, that’s what made him most anxious. time and time, is what makes him most anxious.

Manager Xu meets Bai Xinyu’s eyes from time to time, although he can’t speak, Bai Xinyu can see the anxiety in his eyes, Bai Xinyu gives him a reassuring smile back but it’s a forced one, the ropes around his wrists are already chafing his skin, he feels that if he keeps hanging like this, his body will be torn. He felt that if he hung on like this, his body would be torn apart.

The minutes ticked by, the sky was turning white, the sun was rising, Bai Xinyu’s forehead was sweating, he knew he didn’t have much time left.

6 am sharp, the masked leader took out a matchbox phone and dials a number, he doesn’t say anything, he just listens to what is being said on the other end, saying “yes” or “no” over and over again.

Two minutes later, he hangs up the phone, suddenly pulled out a gun and fires a shot at one of Zhongwei’s employees, everyone is caught off guard and watches as their colleague falls into a pool of blood.

There were shouts of horror, Manager Xu said angrily: “Damn it, do you want to negotiate?”

The mercenaries leader said coldly: “We are negotiating.” He took a picture with his phone.

Bai Xinyu gave a wink to Manager Xu, they have to fight back, otherwise these people could all be finished.

After the leader sent the photo, he pointed his gun at Bai Xinyu and said with a grin: “You’re next.” He turned around and said something in his own language to his subordinate.

The subordinate turned away and in a few moments, returned with a barrel of petrol, standing in front of Bai Xinyu with a sneer, “This is going to be beautiful.”
