Iben and his cousin just inexplicably perished like that.

Wang Qingxi, who was in the car, was completely stunned by the scene. Initially afraid of getting caught in the crossfire, he buried his head in the seat and didn't dare to look up. When the gunfire seemed to have moved farther away, he slightly raised his head to look outside the car.

He then witnessed the gun battle between Iben and the Toyota, until they were shot dead.

Faced with such an incident, his immediate thought was to leave the scene quickly, as the police could arrive at any moment.

Driving away would have been the best option, but a chain car accident had occurred at both ends of the bridge, completely blocking the road. Therefore, he had to escape on foot.

However, when he turned back and looked at the two people in the back seat, a fierce internal struggle began within his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that the translator had seen his face, he could have "switched sides," assumed the role of savior, and rescued them all.

But since the translator had seen his face and knew he was with the kidnappers, he couldn't pose as a savior.

Moreover, he worried that Jin Yongnian would suspect him if rescued.

In short, if Jin Yongnian and the translator were safely rescued, it would cause him trouble.

On top of that, considering the unclaimed payment of over nine million US dollars, he realized that he might be able to get his hands on it, as long as he was ruthless enough.

First, kill the translator, then continue the kidnapping of Jin Yongnian, and ideally get his daughter's boyfriend to pay the ransom. If that doesn't work, get the remaining payment from Jin Yongnian, then he would have over nine million US dollars. The world is a big place, where couldn't he go? There's no problem even if he doesn't return to his country.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingxi's breathing became rapid.

Noticing that the vehicles ahead were starting to move, he knew the police could show up at any moment; time was running out.

He steeled himself, got down from the passenger seat, opened the rear door, squeezed in, and began to strangle the translator with all his might.

He didn't have any proper weapons at hand. In fact, he didn't have the courage to stab anyone with a knife at the moment, and shooting was even more out of the question. There were quite a few cars and people outside, and if gunshots were fired, they would definitely hear it.

So, the best way was to quietly strangle the translator, who had seen his face, to not cause too much commotion.

However, he overestimated his own strength and underestimated the seemingly frail translator's will to survive.

As he strangled the translator, the translator began to struggle violently. Although something was stuffed in his mouth, he could still make some sounds. Coupled with the physical movement, the blindfolded Jin Yongnian sensed something was wrong and guessed that someone was strangling the translator, trying to kill him.

Even Jin Yongnian, who was not particularly clever, knew that after killing the translator, he would be next. So, he too started to resist.

Though his hands and feet were bound, he could still move his body. Jin Yongnian sat up and forcefully headbutted forward purely by instinct, hitting Wang Qingxi squarely on the face, causing him to scream in pain.

The translator, nearly choked to death, got a chance to breathe desperately and luckily spit out the cloth in his mouth.

The rags in their mouths weren't very tight to begin with; the violent struggle had loosened them, and now with a forceful spit, they came out.

Then, the translator shouted "Help," "Help," very loudly, scaring Wang Qingxi, who was about to make a move, into freezing.

It would be disastrous for him if people nearby came over to see what had happened.

So he couldn't bother with killing anymore and quickly grabbed the cloth again, attempting to forcibly stuff it back into the translator's mouth. Meanwhile, Jin Yongnian was continuously interfering beside him, but after receiving two unceremonious punches to the face, he finally quieted down.

He used all his strength and finally succeeded in stuffing the rag back into the translator's mouth, and naturally he dared not kill again, quickly climbing to the front seat to try to start the car and get out of here.

However, he couldn't get the car started, getting more frustrated with each failed attempt, and instinctively cursed in Mandarin.

By the time he realized it, it was too late; Jin Yongnian had definitely heard it.

It was indeed the case; he heard Wang Qingxi curse, and stood in a daze. Wang Qingxi had been working for his company for several years; as his employer, he was naturally familiar with his voice.

Before, he had suspected the two old employees he had previously sent, but only ever thought they were coerced into deceiving him to come to the Red Demon Country. He never imagined his own employees could be involved in the kidnapping.

But now, hearing Wang Qingxi curse out loud and recalling his previous attempt to kill the translator, Jin Yongnian realized that Wang Qingxi was indeed complicit with the kidnappers.

Jin Yongnian was extremely shocked but could do nothing and pretended not to know.

Wang Qingxi, on the other hand, calmed down after regretting for only two seconds. After all, he had already decided to proceed with the kidnapping and even planned to kill Jin Yongnian afterward to silence him. Now, even if he knew, it was no big deal.

He just needed to get the car running first and leave this cursed place.

He kept trying to start the car, but it just wouldn't start, making him sweat profusely in his anxiety.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Wang Qingxi cursed repeatedly in Mandarin, not caring if Jin Yongnian or the translator heard him.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng had already reached the bridge by running and was confused by the chaos he saw.

He saw at least a dozen cars involved in collisions, scattered around the bridge, completely blocking the road.

But that didn't stop Chen Feng, who was on foot.

Chen Feng ran to the center of the bridge within the time stipulated by the other party and waited for further instructions. He was prepared to be directed to another place by them.

But after the five-minute waiting period passed, he still hadn't received any message from them.

Chen Feng looked around and saw the chaos on the bridge; from a distance, he even saw two bodies lying on the ground and a vehicle riddled with bullet holes.

Realizing there had been a shooting here, Chen Feng internally cursed, thinking he was indeed in the land of terrorists.

Chen Feng waited another two minutes and, seeing that they still hadn't sent a message, immediately sent a text message to them himself.

After about another minute without a response, Chen Feng decided to call Jin Yongnian's phone directly.

Just then, Chen Feng abruptly heard a familiar song from Rabbit Country: "Such a beautiful jasmine flower, such a beautiful jasmine flower, fragrant and beautiful, full of praise..."

Following the sound, Chen Feng looked over and saw that the song was coming from a nearby Lexus.
