Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3198 I'm Just Passing Through

When Gale smoothly stepped on the ground, two gun barrels were immediately aimed at his head.

With two gun muzzles pointed at him, he had no choice but to stand straight. He raised his hands in surrender.

The mercenaries noticed he was still wearing earphones. One of them rudely snatched them, putting them into his own ears to eavesdrop on any ongoing conversations.

However, there was nothing to hear.

Gale said with a helpless tone, "Guys, these are just my headphones for listening to music."

"Listening to music while you're driving?! Tell US, are you a cop or are you one of them?" One of the mercenaries subdued Gale while another aimed his gun at him.

The police officers saw the scene and dared not to make any sudden moves.

"I'm not, I'm not. I'm just passing through, man. Seriously, I'm just passing through." Gale felt helpless as his earphones had been taken off. Now, he had no idea about what plans Gordan and Rain might have.

Still, whatever their plans were, he needed to find a way to resolve this crisis or they would not be able to proceed smoothly. "Just passing by?" The mercenary narrowed his eyes. "Would someone who's just passing by carry a steel rod? Do you think we're fools?"

He shoved Gale forward and said to the police officers, "Your guy's in my hands now. If you don't want anything bad to happen to him, you'd better

listen up and let US leave!"

Matysh, who was in the prisoner transport van, listened to the conversation outside. They were speaking in English. He could no understand a word, but he secretly felt pleased with himself, thinking that they were negotiating with the police to get him out.

What he did not expect was that the mercenaries were only concerned with saving their own lives and had no intention of getting Matysh out.

Ethan's car was in a place with signal reception. He got the interpreter to interpret what the people outside were saying. After he received the message, he widened his eyes in shock. Were they really planning to abandon Matysh?

Even though Matysh got convicted this time, there was still a chance to pull off a heist during the transfer.

This was the best chance. If Matysh was not sentenced, he would be innocent, and there was nothing the Russians could do to him even if he went back.

Nevertheless, if he was sentenced and escaped back to Russia, he would be a fugitive!

Most importantly, if this mission failed, the police would become more cautious. Rescuing Matysh later would be nearly impossible once the police force strengthened.

Ethan said to the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie, "No, you must rescue the boss. Use the hostage to exchange for him!"

The mercenaries received Ethan's command but paid no attention and ignored him.

Even if they managed to exchange for Matysh, they would be risking their lives. Without a hostage, they would not be able to leave even if they got the person out.

The boss Ethan mentioned might even die in the crossfire between them and the police.

Not getting a response from the mercenaries, Ethan grew impatient and continued, "Did you hear what I said? I'm your boss. I hired you to kidnap people. If you can't pull off the job, all of you can go and kick the bucket!"

The leader of the mercenaries, the one holding Gale, impatiently retorted," Your boss' life matters, but ours doesn't? The way things are going, this mission's a flop. Not only are we broke, but you want US to risk our necks too? Are you kidding me?" The mercenary spoke in Russian.

Gale understood Russian too. He could not help but find the situation amusing.

Matysh had spent so much money hiring these mercenaries, yet they were so concerned about their own lives. When they realized they would not be able to get their money, they started to plan their escape to save themselves.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

If all mercenaries were as cowardly and self-preserving as these, no one would probably hire mercenaries anymore.

They were so afraid of dying, and they could not even complete the tasks assigned to them. What was the point of having them around?

As Gale thought about this, the mercenary heard Ethan's voice coming from the other end again. "You've taken my deposit. Isn't that worth something?"

"Fuck you. I've lost a few people here. The deposit you gave isn't even enough to cover their funeral expenses!" The mercenary leader took off his earpiece, no longer listening to Ethan's nonsense.

Gale knew they were only concerned with saving their own skins now, not Matysh.

He spoke up, "Hey guys, how about you cut me loose? Seriously, I'm not with them. I was just passing by, got spooked by your gunfire, and accidentally crashed into you guys. As for the steel rod, I carry it because I often drive long distances at night. It's fo safety."

"Stop talking!" The mercenary leader lost all his patience. He shoved Gale forward and had a gun pressed against his head. He was making it clear to the police they now had a hostage.

"Don't do anything reckless," warned the police officers as they watched the scene unfold. The tension in the air grew tense. They were afraid that Gale could be shot in the head at any moment.

The mercenary snorted coldly and glanced back at their vehicles.

"You, go check which of the two cars can still be driven," instructed the mercenary leader.

One of the mercenaries ran to test the car, not worried about being fired upon since Gale was in their custody.

The police in A City were known for their rationality and commitment to ensuring public safety.

Hence, with a hostage in play, they were not concerned in the slightest.

After a while, the mercenary jogged over to report, "Boss, only one car can still drive, but it won't fit all of US."

"My car! My car should be drivable!" Gale finally saw his chance to speak." Please, take my car and go. Just promise to spare me once you escape."

The mercenary leader listened. After secretly cursing Gale for being a coward, he slightly lifted his chin.

He immediately sent someone to confirm.

Once it was confirmed Gale's car could move, he nodded, "Boss, this one works too."

"You, get in the car," ordered the mercenary. He instructed Gale to get into his own vehicle.

Their car was bulletproof, but Gale's was not, so they placed him in his own car.

Under the escort of two mercenaries, Gale sat in the back seat of his car.

He glanced behind him.

He saw police officers aiming their

guns at them, but none dared to m

shoot. He turned around to look! forward again. He noticed Gordan

was using a parking spot as cover, hiding behind it with unclear

intentions.

!

Gale wondered when he had ever been in such a humiliating situation, reduced to being a hostage.

He was truly speechless!

He lowered his gaze. A glint of

fierceness flashed across his eyes. Since these mercenaries dared to use him as a hostage, they should be

ready to get captured themselves!

Another mercenary got into the car, taking over as the driver.

When they were about to leave, there were a few loud bangs. The tires were shot at by Rain!

"Damn it!" one of them cursed, glaring

at Gale with a sinister look. "Looks

like those cops don't give two shits about your life. Since we're all gonna bite the dust anyway, we're taking you down with us! I can't wait to see how those cops spin this for the media!"

He vented his frustration and stomped on the gas pedal!

However, the car could not move with no tires!

The mercenary in the driver's seat slammed the door open and pointed inside the car, "Believe it or not, I'll take him out right

now!"
