At this moment, the door of the convenience shop was kicked open.
A group of black-clothed men barged in with masks covering half of their faces.
With neat and professional moves, they immediately opened fire at Kevin and his men.
Pushing the shop owner away forcefully, Kevin turned and ran.
His men shot back, and a fierce shootout began. Instantly, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The shop owner hid under a desk with trembling legs.
In less than three minutes, the gunshots stopped.
A man walked toward the shop owner with a submachine gun in his hands.
“Please don’t kill me. I really know nothing; I don’t know where the girl went…”
She almost wet her pants in fear, regretting getting involved in the trouble.
“Don’t be afraid. You can come out now,” the man said.
The shop owner stood up slowly on her shaky legs.
“They are gone now.”
The shop owner didn’t dare to speak.
“Our boss sent us here to thank you for taking in our young madam.”
“Your young madam?” The shop owner was confused.
“Yes. Our young madam has a special identity. Our boss loves her very much and she was kidnapped by malicious people to blackmail our boss, which was why she was in such a state. Thank you for taking in our young madam last night and cooking noodles for her.”
“Oh… It’s nothing.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll deal with these guys and won’t let them harass you.”
“Okay.” The shop owner finally snapped back to her senses and nodded.
“Our boss wants you to take this.” The man handed her a piece of paper.
With shaky hands, she took it and saw it was a check of one million US dollars.
“You can exchange it into cash in any international bank.”
“My goodness… No, I can’t take it. It’s too much…”
The middle-aged woman was frightened; after all, her small shop wasn’t worth much.
One million US dollars was equivalent to more than seven million yuan, which was a big fortune.
“Take it. Our boss is very rich, and this is nothing to him. The most important thing for him is that our young madam is fine.”
“That girl… is your young madam.”
She recalled that that young woman indeed carried the young elegance of a wealthy family young madam.
She wasn’t a great beauty but oozed an extraordinary presence. The shop owner had thought she was a daughter of a great family with a business in Chinese medicine, but it turned out she was a young madam from a rich and powerful family. It seemed she had had quite an exciting adventure.
“Um… How can I take it?”
“Take it. I’m sorry for the mess in the shop and am afraid you have to clean it up yourself. Good-bye.”
Then, Qin Chu’s men left.
With the one million US dollar check in her hand, the shop owner felt as if she was in a dream.
She recalled her conversation with the young girl last night.
Well, it seemed even the rich people couldn’t live peacefully; it was a pity that she was still hunted down by people when she was pregnant.
Finally, the shop owner put away the check with a sigh and then began to clean up the mess in her shop.
Kevin was cornered in a remote alley in the town and all his men had been killed.
“Who are you guys?” Kevin asked.
Two in the front and two behind him, four masked men pointed guns at him and didn’t answer his question.
“Do you know who our boss is? Mess with us and you’ll die pathetically,” Kevin threatened, trying to scare off the men with Ian’s name.
