Life 1984

Li Yunhai secretly cheered!

My two bodyguards are simply amazing!
Zhuang Yong took the lead and knocked the tall robber to the ground, while Ding Qiang also took action!
Ding Qiang held his stomach and walked in front of the fat robber. Suddenly, he pushed back hard and knocked the fat robber to the ground. Before the other party could react, Ding Qiang turned around and hit him on the neck.

Only a slight crisp sound was heard, and the other person's neck was twisted to one side, unable to move, and a hoarse sound came from his mouth.

Ding Qiang snatched the fat robber's gun and made a gesture with Zhuang Yong.

The tourists on the second floor of the cruise ship finally reacted and looked at them in horror.

Chen Yao is worthy of being a host. Her reaction ability and psychological quality are both top-notch. She quickly stood up, pressed her hands, and said, "Don't panic! Don't shout or move around! Everyone stay in your seats and pretend nothing happened!"

Someone said: "If you do this, you will anger them!"

Someone immediately responded, "Yes! We paid the money and could have left safely. What if the bandits killed us after you did this?"

Chen Yao sneered, "These heroes also paid money, but they were not afraid of danger and risked their lives to uphold justice and fight against the robbers. Not only did you not help, but you also mocked them? You can come up with a ransom of one million, so you must be a high-level intellectual, or a leader in your industry or field, right? Is this the only ideological awareness you have?"

This made sense, and the tourists on the second floor fell silent.

Chen Yao pointed downstairs and said, "Have you ever thought about this? There are more than 400 tourists downstairs. They may not all be able to pay a ransom of one million. Are you just going to watch them die? Also, even if you pay the ransom, you have already seen the true faces of the robbers! Can they let you go? They did not hide their faces from the beginning. Did they make up their minds to kill all of us on the ship to silence us? Do you naively think that you can leave after paying the money?"

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Miss Chen is right! We can only save ourselves to be saved! Money is something outside of our body. If it is robbed today, we can earn it back tomorrow, but we only have one life! Do you dare to trade your life with these desperate robbers? Do you dare to bet that they will not kill you?"

Everyone looked at each other, obviously convinced by what Li Yunhai and Chen Yao said.

Li Yunhai said, "Now, you don't need to do anything! You just need to stay here obediently, don't act rashly, and don't cry or shout! Leave the rest to these heroes! Can you cooperate?"

Everyone finally nodded in agreement.

Li Yunhai said: "Very good, thank you for your cooperation! As long as we work together, we can definitely return home safely!"

"Boss!" Ding Qiang shouted in a low voice, "This robber has a satellite phone!"

Li Yunhai was cheered up and said, "Great! Give the satellite phone to Miss Chen. Miss Chen, please call the Hong Kong Marine Police right away!"

Chen Yao nodded, took the satellite phone, dialed a number and called the police.

The water police force on the Hong Kong side is affiliated with the Hong Kong police force and is a standard law enforcement team.

After more than a hundred years of development and growth, the Marine Region of the Hong Kong Police Force has become one of the largest and best-equipped maritime police forces in the world.

The Hong Kong Marine Police has jurisdiction over an area of ​​nearly 300 square kilometers within the 2960-kilometer maritime boundary of the Hong Kong River, including 244 islands.

Its main responsibilities are to maintain maritime law and order in the jurisdiction, protect life and property, investigate and prevent maritime crimes, counter illegal immigration and combat smuggling crimes.

Li Yunhai knew very well that as long as he contacted the Hong Kong water police, they would be able to use technical means to lock the location of the satellite phone and find this place.

Once the water police intervene, the tourists on the cruise ship can be rescued!

Chen Yao called the water police and first stated her identity to gain their trust and recognition. Then, she used fluent language to quickly and concisely describe the disaster that the Star Ferry had encountered.

They were in the vast ocean and had no way of locating their own location. They could only roughly tell the water police how long the cruise ship had been sailing since it left the port, and then leave it to the police to locate and search.

After receiving the alarm, the Marine Police dispatched a command ship, eight divisional patrol boats, ten near-shore patrol boats and five fast pursuit boats to launch a maritime search and rescue operation.

There was such a big commotion up there, but because of everyone's cooperation, it didn't alarm those below.

After all, there are not many people who can afford one million to redeem themselves.

Most of the tourists either really couldn't come up with one million yuan, or were hoping for a lucky break, thinking that the robbers might not really kill them, so no one came up from below.

Li Yunhai thought that the purpose of the men in white suits was mainly to blackmail the tycoon Liu Jianhua, and robbing these tourists was just a side effect. After all, it would be good to be able to rob tens of millions more!

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong, each holding a gun, guarded the stairs.

At this time, they heard footsteps coming from below, so they turned around and looked at Li Yunhai, gesturing to indicate that someone was coming up from below and asked for their instructions on what to do.
Li Yunhai thought, there must be someone being brought up from below, is it one robber or two robbers?

No matter what, the robbers who come up must be killed as soon as possible!
As soon as he starts to move, the man in the white suit below will definitely be alarmed.

Even if no sound was made, the robber who was escorting the hostages did not come downstairs for a long time, which would arouse the vigilance of the man in the white suit.

All Li Yunhai and the others can do now is to delay time as much as possible.

He made a killing gesture towards Ding Qiang and the others.

After a while, a robber came upstairs with several people. The first to come up were the hostages who had paid the ransom.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong were lying in ambush in the dark.

Unexpectedly, the robber downstairs did not go upstairs, but stood at the stairs and shouted upstairs: "Recruit people!"

Zhuang Yong immediately responded vaguely.

The people below didn't care too much and turned away.

They would never have dreamed that these hostages, who had paid money and were waiting to return home safely, would dare to resist and be able to resist!
Chen Yao was responsible for explaining the situation to the new hostages.

"Oh my, the people down there are killing each other!" A new woman said with lingering fear, "They chopped off the fingers of several people! Two people fainted on the spot, and we don't know if they are dead!"

Another middle-aged man said, "We have to save ourselves! These people are inhumane! As soon as Liu Jianhua's money arrives, they will definitely leave! Before they leave, they will not let us live! So many of us have seen their true colors! We are definitely not going to survive!"

Their analysis coincides with Li Yunhai's ideas.

After hearing this, the hostages on the second deck cabin became even more determined to save themselves.

It’s a good thing that the robbers didn’t come upstairs, as it could delay more time and wait for the water police to come to rescue.

Although Li Yunhai knew that the hostages downstairs were experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he did not dare to let Ding Qiang and the others go downstairs and take the risk.

Now they just have to hold the second floor, and the people on this floor will have hope of being rescued.

It will take some time for the marine police to find us. If the positioning is accurate and the action is quick, it will be fine. If the positioning is wrong, it will be very difficult to find the cruise ship in this sea!
In any case, it will take at least half an hour before the water police can come to rescue us.

Li Yunhai also didn’t know whether Liu Jianhua’s family would obediently hand over the ransom after receiving the severed finger?

What if Liu Jianhua's family is stingy and ruthless, and would rather use Liu Jianhua's life in exchange for the ransom of hundreds of millions?

I wonder what kind of cruel actions these robbers will do next?
Time passes minute by minute.

Every minute was an incredible torture for Li Yunhai and his friends.

Suddenly, gunshots were heard downstairs! Everyone on the second floor was startled.

Chen Yao thought it was the water police coming, so she leaned over the window and looked down.

But she was disappointed.

No other ships appeared on the water.

It seems that the gunshots just now were fired by the robbers!
Someone said quietly, "Who is the ghost under the gun again?"

The sudden sound of gunfire made everyone feel extremely nervous.

There were footsteps coming from the stairs, and more than a dozen people were brought up.

It seems that the man in white suit was making an example of someone to warn the rest!

Those rich people were originally waiting and watching, but when they saw that the men in white suits really dared to kill people, they did not dare to delay any longer and obediently called and asked their families to pay the ransom.

As usual, the robbers only sent the people to the stairs, watched them come up, and then did not go upstairs again.

Chen Yao comforted the hostages who came up, asking them to cooperate and not to be frightened or shout.

Li Yunhai counted the number of people on the second floor, there were more than 70 people in total!

Each person paid a ransom of one million, which means the robbers extorted more than 70 million!

If these people don't have a big appetite, they can take the money and get away with it.

Unfortunately, the robbers continue to threaten the hostages!
According to a middle-aged man who came up later, Liu Jianhua's family had received the severed finger, but no ransom was paid!
Li Yunhai asked: "The gunshot just now, could it be that Liu Jianhua was killed?"

The middle-aged man said: "They shot Liu Jianhua, but they didn't kill him. This time they chopped off one of Liu Jianhua's arms!"

Everyone was silent.

At this moment, they were unable to protect themselves, so how could they have the energy to save the hostages below?
Ding Qiang asked in a low voice: "Boss, should we try it?"

Li Yunhai pondered and said, "There are still seven people on the other side! We only have two guns. Are you sure?"

Ding Qiang said: "The consequences are unpredictable."

Chen Yao said: "Don't act rashly. Once a fight breaks out, the hostages will definitely be injured by mistake. As long as they don't find us, we will wait for the rescue of the water police!"

Li Yunhai nodded slowly. He was not trying to protect himself, but he had no better way.

More than a dozen people were brought up from below.

It seems that the men in white suits are escalating their threats layer by layer!

As long as they can get the money, they will do anything!

Those who came up would describe the tragic scene below in horror.

White suits have gone crazy!
Because Liu Jianhua's family was too stingy to pay the ransom!

The men in white suits only robbed the tourists of their money this time!

The total number of these tourists is just over 100 million!
Obviously, this amount of money is hardly enough to satisfy the demands of the men in white suits.

So, the man in white suit is torturing that Mr. Sun now!

Mr. Sun is one of the richer tourists.

The man in white suit asked Mr. Sun to pay three hundred million!
Otherwise, Mr. Sun will be killed!

Mr. Sun is trying every possible way to raise money.

Li Yunhai thought that if the man in white suit couldn't get a satisfactory result from Mr. Sun, he would definitely come upstairs and ask for money again from those who had already paid a ransom of one million!

The other party will definitely squeeze every penny out of these people!

Fortunately, the other party didn’t know Li Yunhai’s true identity!
Otherwise, Li Yunhai would become the target of torture by the other party.

Li Yunhai observed the terrain and prepared to confront the robbers below!

As long as the men in white suits try to come upstairs, they must be stopped.

Next, there will definitely be a fierce battle.

The man in the white suit probably knew that he had squeezed out almost all of the one million he could.

It is very difficult to get those who are left to come up with money.

So the man in white suit lowered his demands and said that as long as the hostages paid 50, he would let them go to the second floor.

This trick was very effective, and dozens of people paid the money obediently.

Some people were afraid of death, so they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, had a few fingers cut off, and were thrown aside with blood all over their bodies.

Time is running out!
Mr. Sun has been unable to raise more money!

Liu Jianhua's family refused to pay a penny of ransom no matter how much they saw his severed fingers or arms!
The Liu family's ruthlessness made everyone feel disheartened.

The most desperate person, of course, is Liu Jianhua himself.

He had a broken arm and was dying!
Even if the man in white suit didn't kill him, he wouldn't be alive for long!

After losing all hope of blackmail, the man in white suit set his sights on the people on the second floor.

"The people on the second floor are all rich! They can easily pay one million to redeem themselves. As long as we put more pressure on them, they will definitely give more money! Once we get another 100 million, we will quickly withdraw! If we wait too long, the marine police will come looking for us!" The man in the white suit calmly ordered his men, "You guys, go upstairs and threaten the people upstairs to ask each of them to hand over another million, otherwise we will kill them!"

The more money people pay, the more they fear death!

Since paying the ransom in the first round was so easy, then asking for another million will definitely not be a problem!
There are more than a hundred people on the second floor now. If each person pays another million, the man in white suits can get more than 100 million!
Adding the ransom they had looted before and the 50 million given by Mr. Sun, they can take away almost 300 million!

The three robbers agreed and prepared to go upstairs with guns in hand.

Li Yunhai and the others were standing at the stairs, listening to the noise below.

Hearing that the robbers were coming up, everyone became nervous! (End of this chapter)
