Chapter 20: Bloodshed on the Street

Ren Jiahe was shocked! What is this desperado trying to do? He also knew that today was the first anniversary of the Hongde Restaurant's opening. He wouldn't be trying to take revenge on society and turn me into a human bomb, would he?!

Ren Jiahe's heart completely collapsed at this thought! His face turned ashen! Liu Baoshan saw that something was wrong with him and hurriedly said: "What the hell are you thinking about? I'm just going to kidnap someone at Hongde Restaurant, and I'll let you go when I'm done. The other party owes me a huge sum of money, and I need to collect it. This has nothing to do with you. Even if the police find you later, you'll be forced by me. What are you afraid of? Besides, doesn't this vest serve as proof for you? Ah, don't think nonsense. Just honestly cooperate with me and drive well. I'll let you go when it's done. Otherwise, I'll kill you right now, believe it or not?"

Liu Baoshan said this while cocking the gun and pressing it against his temple. Ren Jiahe closed his eyes tightly, trembling and saying: "Big brother! Big brother! Don't get angry! I'll cooperate! I'll cooperate! I'll listen to everything you say! Everything!"

"Stop yapping? Go drive!" Liu Baoshan barked!

Ren Jiahe had no choice but to obey!

The Ginza Building was very close. The two arrived at Hongde Restaurant in less than 5 minutes. It was already close to 6:00 PM, and the parking lot in front of Hongde Restaurant was slowly getting busy. Under Liu Baoshan's direction, Ren Jiahe parked the car on the side of the road in the same direction as Hongde Restaurant, about 100 meters away. From here, he could just see every vehicle entering and leaving the Hongde Restaurant parking lot.

The two stayed in the car. Liu Baoshan sat in the back, eyes fixed on the parking lot not far away, scrutinizing every car that entered. He asked Ren Jiahe intermittently: "Hey, I think you look familiar. Have we met before?" Ren Jiahe hurriedly shook his head: "Big brother, I haven't met you. Not before, and not today!"

"Hehe!" Liu Baoshan laughed: "It's okay! I'm not testing you. But why are you wearing this wig? Are you hiding something bad? What are you trying to do with this?" Liu Baoshan didn't look at Ren Jiahe while speaking, but Ren Jiahe felt as if he had been seen through. He didn't know what this madman meant by asking these questions. Just as he was pondering how to answer, he heard Liu Baoshan shout: "Drive! Floor it! Fast! Aim for that car, the one with the license plate ending in 888, hit it!"

He said this while pulling the bolt of the gun and aiming it at Ren Jiahe's right abdomen, at his liver, in an unquestionable tone! Ren Jiahe hurriedly started the engine and looked in the direction he pointed. My God! It was Jiang Yuanqi's black Mercedes! Jiang Yuanqi owes him money? Impossible! At this moment, he seemed to know what this madman beside him was going to do!

In the instant he hesitated, he felt the cold muzzle pressing against his abdomen push forward again. He gritted his teeth, shifted the gear directly to S, and slammed his right foot down with all his might! Instantly, this seemingly ordinary family sedan let out a roar like a wild beast, rushing forward!

1 second! 2 seconds! 3 seconds... In just 7 or 8 seconds, the car's speed had reached over 80 km/h! At this moment, Jiang Yuanqi's S600 had just come to a steady stop. A big man in a white shirt got out of the passenger seat and was bending over to open the rear right door.

Suddenly, a huge roar of a car engine came. When he looked up, he saw the front of a black Volkswagen less than 10 meters away! The big man's reaction was lightning fast. He immediately realized that this speeding car was aimed at his boss! He slammed his right palm against the car door and shouted: "Drive fast! Be careful, Boss Jiang!"

At the same time, he used his legs to jump backward to the right!

However, how could the reaction speed of a human body be faster than a steel beast traveling at 90 km/h! In less than a second, the car covered the 10-meter distance! With a "Bang!"—a huge sound—the black Volkswagen slammed into the side of Jiang Yuanqi's Mercedes! Before the big man standing by the car door could finish his shout, his lower body had been crushed and disappeared!

"Ah!" Following a heaven-shaking scream, the two airbags in the front of the Volkswagen fully deployed. Ren Jiahe felt his neck almost break, his head a chaotic mess! In a daze, he saw Liu Baoshan in the back seat shake his head, unbuckle his seatbelt, and get out of the car with a gun in his hand. Without even looking at the big man still screaming, he walked quickly to the opened passenger seat and fired two shots: "Bang, bang!"

One bullet hit the driver in the left chest, and one hit him in the throat. The driver struggled twice, then his head slumped down and he stopped moving. After killing the driver, Liu Baoshan leaned in to look at the back (things happened too fast; when the bodyguard who got out warned of danger, the driver heard the words "drive fast" and subconsciously pressed the ignition button. At this time, the passenger door hadn't had time to close, and the car had been violently hit from the side). On the rear right seat, a slightly chubby man in his 50s was lying on his back. Liu Baoshan looked carefully—it was the tycoon he had "known" for a long time: Jiang Yuanqi!

Because the impact was so unexpected, Jiang Yuanqi had been knocked unconscious. Liu Baoshan hurriedly got out from the passenger side, ran quickly to the left rear door, opened it, leaned in, and dragged the unconscious Jiang Yuanqi out with force. Although blocked by the armrest between the seats, Liu Baoshan was indeed strong and quickly dragged Jiang Yuanqi out.

He picked up Jiang Yuanqi, came to the Volkswagen, and seeing Ren Jiahe still in a daze, threw Jiang Yuanqi into the back seat. He sat in as well and immediately roared at Ren Jiahe: "Reverse! Drive to the river!"

From Ren Jiahe driving into the Mercedes to Liu Baoshan shooting the driver and hijacking Jiang Yuanqi back into the Volkswagen, it took less than three minutes! The huge sound of the collision, the gunshots, and the screams of the big man whose lower body had been crushed were all mixed together. The greeter at the door of Hongde Restaurant, the security guards maintaining order in the parking lot, the guests who had just entered the restaurant... some witnessed the Volkswagen hitting the Mercedes, some saw the big man with only his upper body left crawling on the hood and screaming, some saw Liu Baoshan holding a gun and killing, and some saw Jiang Yuanqi being stuffed into the Volkswagen. But all this happened too suddenly! Too unbelievable! Too bloody! Before people could react, they saw the Volkswagen, its front end smashed to pieces, miraculously reverse and leave the Hongde Restaurant at high speed amidst a roar!

Only then did people react. Some shouted "Murder!", some called out "Car accident!". Bao Xiaoxiao, the owner of Hongde Restaurant, who rushed over upon hearing the news, ran to the door and saw the crashed car. She stumbled and almost fell over in panic! Fortunately, the security guard behind her supported her. After the sudden terror, she immediately stabilized her emotions and shouted: "Call the police! Something happened to Boss Jiang!" ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
