Chapter 20 These Beasts!_1

Xiang Dongfeng's voice came out cool and reminded Director Cheng, "Director Cheng, don't forget where we are. This is the infamous Old Place. Even I wouldn't dare to make trouble here, do you dare to mess around?"

Director Cheng sneered lightly, his eyes showing mockery, "Xiang Dongfeng, stop trying to scare me and cut the nonsense. Hurry up and let my daughter and me out, and once we're in the car, I will naturally give you the remaining item in my hand, no going back on my word!"

Xiang Dongfeng narrowed his eyes in thought, and then, upon seeing one of his men make an "OK" gesture at the door, he slowly stood up with a smile, glanced at Director Cheng, and said indifferently, "Alright, today I will escort Director Cheng and Miss Cheng on their way. Please, you two!"

Xiang Dongfeng signaled with his eyes to the two men holding Cheng Xuetong.

The two men immediately pushed Cheng Xuetong forcefully towards Director Cheng.

With such a strong push, Cheng Xuetong stumbled forward.

Just as she was about to fall, Director Cheng rushed forward with quick reflexes and caught her, holding her steadily in his arms.

He gently tore off the tape from Cheng Xuetong's mouth and untied the ropes binding her hands. Looking at his daughter's injuries, he choked up and asked, "Tongtong, are you alright?"

Cheng Xuetong hugged him tightly, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, you shouldn't have come! You really shouldn't have! Sobs..."

Director Cheng gently patted his daughter's back, soothing her, "Don't be afraid! Tongtong, Dad is here, Dad won't let them hurt you! Don't be scared!"

Cheng Xuetong felt as though she was back in her childhood when she felt scared, and her father would always hold her like this, comfort her, and tell her not to be afraid.

And every time, with her father's comfort, she really wouldn't be afraid anymore!

Now was no different; after Director Cheng's reassurance, Cheng Xuetong's emotions also gradually calmed down.

Xiang Dongfeng watched Director Cheng and his daughter Cheng Xuetong being affectionate, his eyes filled with a cold sneer as he thought to himself, "Since you two have such a great relationship, in a bit, I will kindly send you both on your way together, so you can keep each other company on the road to hell, heh heh heh..."

One of Xiang Dongfeng's bodyguards also shouted loudly, "Enough, stop wasting time, leave the goods behind, if you want to leave, then hurry up and scram!"

Yet, Xiang Dongfeng pretended to be the good guy and stopped the bodyguard, "Hey, Aqiang, since Director Cheng wishes to spend more quality time with his daughter, let's be generous. We're not in a rush for this little bit of time, right?"

The bodyguard Aqiang, catching Xiang Dongfeng's wink, immediately grinned, "Yes, yes, yes, the young master is right. I shouldn't have disturbed Director Cheng and his daughter's heart-to-heart talk, my bad, my bad, Director Cheng, my apologies!"

With all their interference, Director Cheng was seething with rage and had no mind left to talk with his daughter, "Tongtong, let's go!"

He supported his daughter Xuetong with both hands and slowly walked towards the gate of the Old Place.

Xiang Dongfeng watched the backs of the father and daughter with a cold, malicious smile on his lips.

After a while, he followed suit.

Xiang Dongfeng's bodyguards also surrounded him and followed.

When Director Cheng reached the doorway of the Old Place with his daughter, he asked her in a low voice, "Tongtong, can you drive home first, okay?"

Cheng Xuetong immediately looked at him with a tense face, "Dad, I want to go with you!"

Director Cheng gently caressed her face, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered, "Be good, listen to Daddy. I'll stay here to see if they really let you go. Daddy is the chief of the Public Security Bureau, they wouldn't dare do anything to me!"

In those last two sentences, Director Cheng had no confidence at all. These beasts were completely heartless, accustomed to murder like it was nothing. Whether he and his daughter could safely return home today was a big question.

As for his own life, he didn't really care.

But Tongtong and the child in her belly were so innocent, swept up in this disaster.

He truly hoped that he could ensure the safety of his daughter and the unborn grandchild.

Seeing that his daughter still hadn't moved, Director Cheng coaxed her again, "Be good, get in the car quickly! Drive off after you start it, and don't stop. Drive straight to the Public Security Bureau, then go find your Brother Shen, he will help you!"

Cheng Xuetong seemed to have a premonition, she hugged Director Cheng again and started crying, "Dad, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with you. If we're going to die, let's die together, and if we're going to live, let's live together. Dad, let's go together, if you won't leave, then I won't either!"

Seeing his daughter still not listening to him, Director Cheng couldn't help but curse anxiously, "You silly girl, Dad is already old, it doesn't matter what happens to me, but you are still young. You have a child, and Mingkai is waiting for you at home..."

Upon hearing the name "Mingkai", Cheng Xuetong's expression changed instantly, "Dad, stop talking about that bastard. I was blind, I chose the wrong person, and the reason I got caught this time is because of him. He gave me a glass of milk. When I woke up again, I was captured by Xiang Dongfeng. To say it has nothing to do with him, I'd never believe it even if I died!"

Director Cheng was also shocked upon hearing his daughter's words, "What are you saying? You were kidnapped, and Qin Mingkai was involved? I knew this pretty boy wasn't trustworthy, and now it turns out to be true!"

Cheng Xuetong, tears streaming down her face, said, "Dad, I'm sorry! It's all my own blindness, and now I've even dragged you and the child in my womb into this situation. I was so foolish. Why didn't I listen to you in the first place and insisted on marrying him!"

Seeing the father and daughter hugging and murmuring endlessly, Xiang Dongfeng's already limited patience had completely run out, "Director Cheng, if you want to have a chat, go back inside. I've escorted you out, so isn't it time you handed over the item to me?"

Director Cheng released Cheng Xuetong, gently patted her on the back, opened the car door, and pushed her into the driver's seat, "Tongtong, you go back first. Remember what I just said, okay?"

Cheng Xuetong knew that if she delayed any longer, her entire family might really lose their lives. It would be better to hurry back to the Public Security Bureau to seek help from Brother Shen and then come back to rescue her father.

With tears in her eyes, Cheng Xuetong nodded vigorously, "Dad, I remember. Take care of yourself!"

Director Cheng gently patted her on the shoulder, then bent down and kissed her forehead.

Using the action of kissing his daughter to cover it up, Director Cheng quickly took out the two grenades hidden in the driver's cab and concealed them inside his jacket.

He looked deeply at his daughter one more time, waved to her, and said, "Go! Go quickly!"

Cheng Xuetong wiped her tears forcefully with her hand and started the car.

In Director Cheng's tear-blurred eyes, Cheng Xuetong's car drove further and further away.

Just when Director Cheng thought Cheng Xuetong was safe, the sedan she was driving suddenly exploded with a "boom".

The entire sedan was blown to pieces, releasing a mushroom cloud in an instant, before being engulfed by the raging flames.

Director Cheng let out a heart-wrenching cry, tears of blood streaming down his eyes...
