Chapter 1135 Greed
"No, no. I just get a little nervous when I see you. When I was a child, my parents often told me to listen
to the police and go to the police in case of difficulties, so I..." Vivi started to exin.
But the leader interrupted her. "Shut your nonsense!
Now listen. Warren, you get out of the car. Find a taxi and then track Duncan with Vivi," the leader
ordered.
"Yes, Sir!" Warren immediately opened the door and got out of the car to find a taxi.
"Baron, Stanley. You are with me. We''ll follow their taxi from a distance."
"Yes, Sir!" the two men nodded.
"Sir, what about our brothers who went to look for them? Should we call them back?" one of the
policemen asked.
"Ask them to go to Beauty Mountain Vi. Let''s make sure that the suspect is caught alive without

bringing any harm to the children."
"Yes, Sir."
Soon after, Warren came back with a borrowed taxi. "Vivi, get in this car."
Vivi nodded in agreement. As she was getting out of the police car, she asked, "Sir, do I need to take
the suitcase with me?"
"Bring the suitcase, but not like that," said Warren.
"Not like that? What do you mean?" Vivi was clueless.
Warren turned around and fixed his eyes on a pile of bricks not too far away. He smiled. "Take the
money out of the suitcase and put those bricks inside it."
Vivi looked at the bricks and then nodded at him. She was ready to do whatever the police asked her
to. She wanted to live a good life; that was all she ever wanted. Even if Duncan was arrested, she
could still be with her current boyfriend.
Although that man was too stingy to get her anything fancy, he was still better than a kidnapper like
Duncan.
Vivi had always been a realistic woman.
She never denied her purpose, and naturally never gave up on her path to a good life.
As long as she could achieve her goal, she would do whatever was needed.
"Charles, what should we do now?" Sheryl asked anxiously. Sheryl wanted to go with the police, but
she was afraid that Duncan might hurt Shirley and rk if he saw her and Charles.
"You will being with us and you will stay in the car." The leader had heard Sheryl''s question and
responded decisively before Charles could answer.
Sheryl did not immediately understand the police''s arrangement. However, as Charles maintained a
calm and clear mind, he knew the reason why the police asked them to stay clear.
He figured that the police were probably afraid that the children might get into some danger, or Duncan
might go back on his word. If that happened, they could adjust their strategy ording to the situation
and deal with the kidnapper. In such a scenario, they would be a liability to them.
"All right," Charles agreed.
"Sher, don''t be afraid. The police will rescue rk and Shirley. The children will be all right. Let''s follow
their n and stay with them. We will be informed of what is happening if we stick to them. Don''t you
think so?" he consoled Sheryl.
"Yeah, I guess," Sheryl said.
"Hasn''t the kidnapper called you yet?" the leader asked Sheryl as they got into the car.
"Not yet." Sheryl stared at her cell phone screen, but it remained silent.
"Sir, should I make the call?" Sheryl knew that Duncan had given Vivi permission to go see him, but he
would never let her see Shirley and rk.
If he had to keep the children away from Vivi''s sight, where would he hide them?
Sheryl thought that he might call her and ask her to go to a designated ce to pick up the children.
If he wasn''t nning on doing that, then what was he thinking? Sheryl had a very bad feeling.
"No, don''t do that. Vivi just hung up. If you call him now, he''ll probably get suspicious. Vivi''s words have
already aroused some suspicion in him. At a time like this, we can''t take any more risks," the leader
replied. "Wait for a while. He''ll call you."
"Are you sure? What if he doesn''t?" Sheryl asked nervously.
"I''m sure that he''ll call you in another five minutes. Despite what his ns are, that is, whether to
transfer the children or to hand them over, he will call you with instructions." The leader calmly judged
on the basis of his past experiences with criminals.
"But..." Sheryl was unconvinced. She was worried sick about her kids.
"Sher, we should act as required by the police," Charles said, his voice soft and firm. Sheryl nodded
silently and they waited for the kidnapper''s call.
Time passed at a snail''s pace.
"Warren, slow down and allow enough time for our brothers to get in there and find the location of the
children before you and Vivi go in," the leader ordered through the headset.
"Yes, Sir." Warren breaked and drove the car very slowly.
"Mark, what''s the situation there?"
"We have reached Beauty Mountain Vi. The children are inside. I just heard their voice. They are not
in any danger at the moment. But it is not clear how many kidnappers are in there or whether they have
weapons."
"You have five minutes to get the information. Move!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Duncan was in a good mood. He stared at the two children in front of him. It was undeniable that they
had brought him good luck.
But humans are greedy by nature. Duncan realized that he could squeeze out so much more if he kept
the children. His heart became darker.
He craved for more. If he had more money, he and Vivi could have a better life. He immediately
regretted that he had asked for so little.
''Why didn''t I ask for more?'' he thought, forgetting his initial reasoning for sticking to small numbers. ''I
could have asked a hundred million.''
Moreover, he knew that Sheryl was very obedient, and if he asked again, she would give him anything
unconditionally.
He didn''t even care that Vivi was already on her way there. He decided to take the risk.
Once again, he tied up rk and Shirley, and put on their blindfolds and masks.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Didn''t you just say that you were going to let us go?" rk had seen the
look in Duncan''s eyes, and he knew that his ns had changed for the worse.
