Kerry, changed the topic and asked, “Mr. Zhang, I’m curious that aren’t you afraid that this trip to A City is going to be a trip
without a return?”
Heng Zhang finally turned his head to look at him seriously, “No matter what happens, I will go, not to mention that you’re the
trump card in my hand. I don’t believe that even if your subordinates ambush me, they will still care about you.”
Kerry sighed, “I really don’t know. Maybe they might find another leader. I’m just going to die if I go back.”
Heng Zhang didn’t want to listen to his nonsense and brought the medical kit from behind. Kerry stared at him vigilantly and
asked, “What is this?”
He smiled wickedly, “Kerry, you are too powerful in A City, so in order to ensure that we can get the map, of course we need you
to be a bit more obedient.”
“Just tell me, what is this?” Kerry was a little nervous. His shoulder hadn’t healed yet. If he was injected was poison, he wouldn’t
make it.
Heng Zhang laughed, “You’ll be weak. Don’t worry, no side effects. Take a good sleep after we get the treasure map, the you feel
nothing has happened.”
Kerry didn’t believe his bullshit, but right now with his feet and hands tied, he had no way to resist even if he wanted to.
“Heng Zhang, since I promised to give you the map, I will never break my promise. Why do you have to use such a dirty trick?”
Kerry snapped in a furious voice.
Heng Zhang took out the syringe, which contained transparent potion, “Kerry, as long as we can get what we want, what does it
matter what kind of means we use? The process doesn’t matter. It’s the result.”
“You fucking bastard, Heng Zhang, I never expect you to be so asshole.”
Heng Zhang just ignored his curses and said at the person on Kerry’ s side, the one who held a gun to Cao’ s head yesterday,
“Hold him down.”
Kerry struggled and lifted his feet to kick the syringe in his hand, but was held down by the brawny man behind him.
“Heng Zhang, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll make you go to hell.”
Heng Zhang pushed the syringe, and some drops came out of the needle. He said nonchalantly, “What a pity. I don’t think there
will be such a day.”
Seeing that the sharp needle was about to stick into his skin, Kerry said evenly, “Wait, I have something to say.”
Heng Zhang frowned, “What?”
Kerry took a deep breath and said, “We’ve only just stepped into A City, and it will take at least two more hours to get to the vault,
so why are you in a hurry to knock me out now? How about this, you can do it when you’re almost at the A City vault?”
He just needed another ten minutes, just ten minutes.
But how could he give him the opportunity to do so, sneering, “Mr. Ye, be quiet, lest I prick your arteries. I’ve told you, this
medicine is just to make it easier for us to control you, it’s not harmful to your body, so don’t be so nervous.”
“Heng Zhang!” Kerry drank furiously.
Kerry wanted to move instantly now, but it was too dangerous. If he ran now, his secrets would be exposed.
Heng Zhang stuck the needle into Kerry’s muscles and quickly pressed it down.
“Bastard, I won’t let you go.” Kerry yelled at him.
“You’ve said that before.” He was indifferent, who only focused on the injection.
The liquid entered his body, and as the blood flowed to every cell, Kerry felt the energy inside his body disappearing rapidly, and
after two minutes, he didn’t even have the strength to lift his hand.
However, the good news was that he still had his sanity.
As the convoy drove to the intersection, the first car in the front slowly came to a stop.
Heng Zhang was dissatisfied and asked on the intercom, “Why did you stop? What’s going on?”
“Boss, a big truck with peaches ahead overturned and blocked the road.”
Heng Zhang thought it was not a coincidence.
“Go down there and find out when can we go.”
“Yes, boss.”
The reality was worse than what this man said. A truckload of peaches and the baskets rolled down and scattered and there
were twenty or thirty villagers from nearby who were helping to pick up the peaches, with four or five traffic police were directing
the traffic.
Traffic police saw there came a few more cars, not waiting for the man come out, he came up, who first saluted and said, “the
truck just overturned. I’m sorry that you cannot pass right now.”
“Comrade police officer, how much longer does it need? We’re in a hurry.”
“It will take at least two more hours. You can see there are a lot of peaches, so if you are in a hurry, you can turn around to the
mountain road, but that will take more time, and also dangerous.” The traffic police kindly warned.
The driver was sad, “What should we do then?”
The traffic police laughed, “It’s quite a hot day and we don’t want this to happen. Let’s say, you and your friend may offer some
help to pick up the peaches, so that it can be faster.”
“Well, I need to ask my friend.”
“Thank you.” The policeman said and saluted again, his uniform drenching in sweat.
The driver cautiously got out of the car and came to Heng Zhang, whispering, “Boss, the cop wants us to help.”
Heng Zhang was unhappy, “Is there another way?”
“He told me that there’s another mountain road, but it’s even more time-consuming, and we don’t know how to get there. The
GPS shows nothing.”
He hesitated, looking at the watch, and said to him, “Let our men go down to help them. If the policeman asks anything, tell him
that we are travelers. Don’t say too much.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Wait.” Heng Zhang poked his head out and looked at the scene not far away and there was nothing wrong, so he lowered his
voice, “Don’t take the gun with you, lest you be noticed by the police.” In this situation, he didn’t want to mess with cops.
“Got it, boss.”
Then they got out of the car to help, except for Heng Zhang and another one, who were watching Kerry didn’t move. Even
though Kerry had fallen limb from limb onto the seat, with no mobility, but Heng Zhang still wanted to be careful.
Kerry was limb on the seat, who face expressionless, but his eyes were shining.
“Water, please. I’m thirsty.” Kerry said weakly.
Heng Zhang looked at him, “You won’t die of thirst if you don’t drink water for a day, so bear with it.” Heng Zhang didn’t want him
to use another excuse to go to the toilet.
“Oh, I’m really getting more curious about your boss. How can he train such an inhumane subordinate.” Kerry throat was dry and
on fire, and his lips were a little dry.
Heng Zhang seemed to have gotten used to him complaining his boss, so he just ignored it.
At this time, two cars came from behind. Through the window, he found the the people of those two cars were also discussing
what to do, and also shouted at the traffic police with S City accent, “Comrade police, how much longer do we need?”
“An hour, or you guys can help too. Then it will be faster.” The traffic police shouted at them as well.
“Is there any pay for that?” The man teased.
The cop also laughed, “There’s no pay, but I can give you some peaches.”
“Hahaha, okay, we’ll help.”
Heng Zhang turned his head and breathed in relief. It seemed to be just an accident.
After hearing Kerry was thirsty, he also felt so, so he took a bottle of water to drink.
“Boom!” A loud bang made both sides of the car window glass shatter. Before he could realize what’s going on, a gun was at his
temple.
At the same time, the one beside Kerry also received the same treatment.
“Hands up and get out of the car.” The person outside the car roared.
Heng Zhang threw down the water bottle, “Okay, buddy, don’t be impulsive. Be careful of the gun.”
“Cut the crap and get down.”
He carefully opened the car door, but in the next second, he slammed the door to the person outside the car, then he was nimble
enough to get into the driver’s seat, but he didn’t expect the man holding the gun to be faster than him, who pulled out the car
keys.
“Get down. It’s your final chance.” The man stared at him viciously.
Heng Zhang had to get out of the car first, turning his head to take a look at the car accident, all of his own people were pressed
down to the ground by the villagers and policemen.
“What do you guys want? Money?” He asked coldly.
The gun man’s lips curled up, “I heard you have a treasure map, so where is it?”
His eyelids jumped, for he thought these people were here to save Kerry, but he didn’t think they were here for the map.
“You guys are a little late, I already sent it out last night, and now” He looked up at the sky, “it should have been abroad by now.”
The man with the gun apparently did not believe him, and looked up and down at his shirt.
“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can search on me.” Heng Zhang raised his hands and said with a sneer, “Think about
it, that map is actually a time bomb. If you get it and you keep it with you, aren’t you afraid of being robbed?”
As soon as he finished his words, he heard Kerry say in a weak voice, “He’s telling the truth. It’s not here.”
