“Hey Don’t you think those people look like kidnappers?” muttered the front desk staff while standing next to the service staff.

“It has nothing to do with us! Don’t look! If those people come to seek revenge, we’ll be in trouble!” the service staff looked down and whispered back.

They were only here to work. It was not worth it if they offended these gangsters at the workplace or if they lost their lives in this place. They all cherished their lives more than anything.

The scar-faced man’s underling parked a van at the entrance of the hotel. Qiao Mei took two steps back and said, “I’m not sitting in the back.”

“If you don’t sit in the back, then where do you want to sit? Do you want to be the driver instead?” the scar-faced man teased.

“I want to sit in the front passenger seat!” Qiao Mei said stubbornly.

They were currently in the city center of Hu City. It would take them at least two to three hours to drive to the suburbs. If Qiao Mei had to sit with this bunch of disgusting men for such a long time, she probably would not be able to resist getting rid of all of them halfway through the drive.

“Who’s the kidnapper here? Am I supposed to listen to the hostage? Then all my years of being a gangster would have been for nothing!” the scar-faced man said angrily.

“If you don’t let me sit in the front passenger seat, I’m going to call for help!” Qiao Mei threatened.

The scar-faced man quickly scanned the surroundings to see if there was anyone else around. Although there were usually very few guests in the high-class hotel, the hotel had security officers. The reason why they were able to escape was because Qiao Mei did not expose them for who they were.

One underling approached the scar-faced man and whispered, “Boss, let’s just let her sit in the front passenger seat first. After we leave the city, we can deal with her however we want. There are too many people around now, so let’s leave quickly.”

“Alright! You can sit in the front passenger seat!” the scar-faced man said unwillingly.

After being a gangster for so many years, this was the first time he had been ordered around by a little girl. He would remember this debt. Once they left the city, he would definitely teach Qiao Mei a lesson!

When no one was paying attention to Qiao Mei, she took the chance to throw a handful of vine seeds to the ground. The seeds seemed to take on a life of their own and they clung tightly to the tires of the van.

After everyone got into the van, the scar-faced man tied Qiao Mei’s hands together tightly and took the seat behind her. It was peak hour now and the roads in Hu City were not well-planned, so they remained stuck in a jam in the city.

“Why is it so congested today! What kind of lousy driver are you!” the scar-faced man shouted unhappily at the underling who was driving.

“I’m sorry, Boss! I don’t know why this is happening either! We’ll be able to leave the city soon! Give me another chance!” the underling said fearfully.

“Drive faster! If you still get stuck in a jam, I’ll chop off your head and kick it like a ball!” the scar-faced man said.

Qiao Mei smiled very faintly. She did not expect this group of kidnappers to be so entertaining. Since they were so rowdy, it would be interesting to have an “accident”!

Qiao Mei used her hand to touch the metal plate on the car seat and slowly directed her energy towards the tires. A few vine seeds sprouted quickly and pierced into the tires like they were nails. The two tires on the right side of the car burst and in the next second, the vines turned to ashes and dissipated with the wind.

Fortunately, the underling’s driving skills were quite good. The moment the tires burst, he reacted immediately and stopped the car by the roadside. However, the loud sound also attracted the attention of passersby.

The scar-faced man looked at the underling and shouted, “What’s wrong now!”

The underling immediately got out of the car to check on the situation. He trembled as he looked through the car window and said to the scar-faced man, “Boss Boss, I don’t know what’s going on either The tires have burst I really don’t know why! I was driving properly but for some reason, the tires had exploded! Boss, I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Useless thing!” the scar-faced man said angrily.

They had stolen this van and it did not come with any spare tire. Even if there were, who would carry around two spare tires?

“You! Go and think of a solution!” said the scar-faced man as he pointed at another underling.

When everyone saw who he pointed at, all of them heaved a sigh of relief. This guy was the best lock picker among them and was known as the “King of Locks”. He could find a way to open any lock in the world.

Qiao Mei looked at this group of people helplessly. She really could not imagine how such a group of misfits could manage to abduct Gao Lin.
