Chapter 285: Chapter 174: Malicious Intent_2

Just about half an hour ago, Wu Mengting updated her Moments again. It was a street photo of her and Chen Feng shopping. Of course, Chen Feng’s face was not shown, but there was a pretty selfie of her.

Hong Yongming was deeply engrossed when suddenly he felt a powerful arm choke his neck. He felt a slight pain in his waist, as a sharp object pierced through his clothing and jabbed into his skin, then a low and cold male voice sounded next to his ear: "Behave! Come with me!"

Hong Yongming was completely shocked, this was the first time he had encountered such an event in his life.

When he was in Italy, although the public order was not good, he had never run into such a situation. Mainly because he hardly went out at night there.

But in his own country, going out at night is a normal thing for everyone. Especially for men, having a vibrant nightlife outside at night is almost a habit.

Especially in the city, around nine in the evening, the nightlife hasn’t even started yet.

As for public security, it’s incredibly good. One reason is that mobile payment is very widespread, and people basically don’t carry cash with them anymore. Even if they do, the amount is relatively small.

In this context, not to mention pickpockets almost losing their jobs, even robbers have nearly disappeared. Because mobile payments are convenient, tracing is also very easy. Even if you use someone else’s ID and account, unless you transfer it abroad, you can be tracked and frozen almost instantly.

Not to mention there are also limits on transactions. This significantly raises the cost of committing a crime.

Another reason is that there are surveillance cameras all over the streets. If you commit a crime in such a situation, you will have nowhere to hide, as if you voluntarily want to go to jail.

Therefore, everyone is very comfortable going out at night.

Not to mention that someone like Hong Yongming, even ordinary women would dare to stroll on the streets at this time of night.

But even under such circumstances, Hong Yongming was taken hostage with a dagger pressed against his waist.

This person was about the same height as Hong Yongming, wore a mask, was somewhat thin, yet very strong, as the strength he used to choke Hong Yongming’s neck indicated.

After being dragged for a dozen steps, Hong Yongming finally reacted, stammering, "Friend, did you mistake me for someone else? I don’t think I’ve met you before? Ah!"

Finally, Hong Yongming couldn’t help but cry out because the person lightly stabbed him in the waist with the dagger. Although it wasn’t very deep, it definitely bled.

"Behave yourself. Do what I tell you, or I’ll stab you in an instant."

The thug’s voice was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion.

Hong Yongming could feel it immediately, trembling as he hastily said, "Okay, okay, I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll definitely cooperate with you."

The thug said nothing more, kept an arm over his shoulder, choking his neck. On the surface, this seemed like an intimate gesture between men, others might even think they were good friends.

After walking for a few more minutes, the thug led him into an alley, then continued walking deep into the alley. After winding through for over ten minutes, they finally stopped by some demolition ruins.

Here was a block of low houses being demolished, most of the walls had been knocked down, but some remnants still stood partially intact.

There were no streetlights in the surroundings, casting a dark and eerie scene.

"B-brother, do you want money? I can give you a hundred thousand... cash."

"Where do you have a hundred thousand cash on you?"

"I can withdraw it from the ATM for you."

The thug suddenly covered his mouth with one hand, then stabbed the right side of his thigh hard with the other hand, and blood spurted out.

"Ah!"

Hong Yongming screamed in pain, almost fainting, but his mouth was firmly covered by the man, unable to make loud noises.

"If you scream again, do you believe I’ll kill you with one stab?"

Hong Yongming was in so much pain that tears streamed down, and upon hearing the man’s words, he nodded repeatedly, whimpering faintly, saying, "I believe, I believe!"

"Alright, I’ll let you go. If you want to die, just go ahead and shout."

Saying so, he released his hand covering his mouth. Although Hong Yongming was in pain and fear, shivering all over, he didn’t dare to shout out. He could only sob with snot and tears flowing, begging, "Brother, I’ll give you whatever you want, I’ll absolutely cooperate with you."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier. Don’t play tricks with me. You think I don’t know that ATMs have a limit of twenty thousand cash a day? And you were planning to withdraw a hundred thousand for me."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yongming couldn’t help crying with grievance, choking as he said, "Brother, one card can only withdraw twenty thousand a day, but I have several cards."

"...you have five cards?"

"I have over a dozen cards."

"..."

After a long silence between them, the thug suddenly slapped him, making Hong Yongming stagger and sit down on the ground.

"You damn, why didn’t you say you have that many cards earlier?"

Hong Yongming covered his face, with snot and tears flowing, didn’t dare to retort.

"Alright, get up and go into that old house over there."

The thug pointed at a few dilapidated houses left on the demolition site.

Seeing this, Hong Yongming was terrified. His mind racing, he quickly said, "B-brother, I can give you my bank card and password, there’s one or two million in it. I’ll give it all to you. I can swear by the heavens, I won’t report to the police. I haven’t seen your face at all. I’ll just pretend nothing happened tonight."

"Don’t fuckin’ talk nonsense, do you want another stab? Hurry up and go."

Hong Yongming was already scared out of his courage to resist, and now with one leg injured, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

Under the thug’s threat, he could only grit his teeth, limp, and cry as he headed toward the broken houses on the ruins, stumbling several times in the darkness.

In the end, he was dragged over there by the thug.

After entering a run-down house, the thug threw him against the wall, used the light from his phone to retrieve a bottle of mineral water from a corner, and gulped it down in one go.

It was obvious this was his temporary hideout.

After finishing the water, the thug leisurely told Hong Yongming, "To tell you the truth, I’m a wanted criminal, I’ve killed people. Today, you happen to be unlucky, I randomly ran into you on the street. Obediently give me your bank card, card password, mobile payment account password, and payment password. I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll end you right here."

Hong Yongming had already guessed that this person might be a wanted criminal, and having it confirmed made him even more desolate inside.

Damn, this is too unlucky!
