Chapter 1615


    The shop owner instinctively reached out to block the attack, and the knife cut through his palm.


    Although it slowed down the force, it still stabbed into his stomach firmly.


    Blood gushed out instantly, as the shop owner clutched his wound and copsed.


    The driver was shocked. When he saw the man going berserk and was about to stab the shop owner


    again, he immediately reversed the car and lightly bumped into him.” Are you leaving or not? Because I


    am!”


    It was only then the man stopped and quickly got into the van.


    Ste felt a chill down her spine. It was supposed to be a mere kidnapping, and there was no need to


    harm an innocent person. The fact that the man was carrying a knife showed that he was a


    psychopath!


    “Fuck, are you out of your mind?” the driver cursed, as he sped away from the scene. “Do you want to


    get the police’s attention or what?”


    “The police are alreadying after us.” The man wiped the bloodstain with a piece of tissue from the


    knife and threw it out of the car window. Then, he said coldly, “When we were paying for the items, that


    scumbag answered a phone call and his expression immediately changed. He was trying to stall us for


    the police by saying he undercharged us!”


    The driver’s face turned gloomy. “We agreed on using the drug, yet you chose to fucking attack him on


    the street instead. You alerted the security guard, yet you just caused us another problem!”


    The man’s face remained expressionless, as he said, “Go in the opposite direction. The police are


    going to trace us here. We can’t go to the ce we scouted earlier.”


    “Fuck!” The driver felt frustrated and turned the van around.


    Keegan’s heart sank.


    The police did not take his suggestion and contacted the shop owner directly.


    The kidnappers were rmed, and they changed their original n. Now, the police would most


    probably lose them, and Keegan had to find another way to send them their location.


    Just over ten minutes after the kidnapper’s van had left, the police arrived at the scene. They saw the


    injured shop owner, and it was only then the officer realized that it was not just an ordinary dispute he


    had assumed; the kidnappers would really harm the hostages.


    Fortunately, the staff in the shop managed to stop the bleeding in time, and the ambnce had arrived.


    Consequently, the shop owner lived through the incident.


    The police did not reveal much detail when they called the shop to ask about the van.


    However, the shop owner had previously worked as an auxiliary police officer when he was younger.


    When he saw the group of people entering his store, he noticed that all of them were heavily dressed,


    and they also intentionally lowered their tone when they spoke. So, he could sense that something was


    off about them. Then, when the police called to ask about the kidnapping case, he became even more


    certain.


    So, he came up with an excuse to go outside and check things out. When he talked to the driver, he


    noticed the bloodstained shirt and a person in the backseat through the gap in the window.


    He intended to stall the kidnappers, but he did not expect that they would be so vignt.


    Before the shop owner was taken away by the ambnce, he described to the police, “I couldn’t really


    see the faces of the driver and the man who was wearing a pair of white shoes. But I did see the man


    who was wearing a cap clearly. He’s probably around his forties, and he has a long scar behind his left


    ear that seems to extend from the top of his head down. He has a very hostile looking face.


    “Oh, and I think there’s something wrong with his eyes.”


    The police officer paused and asked, “His eyes? What’s wrong with it?”


    The shop owner shook his head, frowned, and thought for a few seconds before he said, “When he


    entered the store, he asked me about the price of a pack of


    Marlboro Blue, and I told him. After they were done shopping and went to check out, my employee was


    the one who scanned the items for them. But the price of that pack of cigarettes came out different from


    what I had told him. He got very angry and said something to my employee.”

    “What did he say?”


    “He said: ‘You told me it was twelve dors when I asked you just now. Why is it showing fourteen?''”
