TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

546-547

Chapter 546: Young man, you’re rather brave!

The three siblings were taken by a car. Da transported his valuable ‘cargo’ directly to a warehouse near the pier.

When they had reached their destination, Da brought the three of them out. By this point, Huo Jinkai had woken up. After all, he was the oldest by a few years, and his body was much more fit than an average youth, due to his physical training regime.

The moment Huo Jinkai woke up, he immediately sensed that something was amiss. Glancing at his younger brother and sister, who were sound asleep on the floor, he could almost immediately guess at the unfortunate predicament they were currently in.

Huo Jinkai could scarcely believe it. His great uncle was a prominent figure in their province, and his uncle was the commander of the regional military branch.

He would not have credited it under any other circumstances – that someone would ever dare to target the Huo children, let alone manage to pull off kidnapping them!

“Who are you? Do you know which family we belong to? Release us right now!”

At 14 years old, Huo Jinkai was Old Master Huo’s favorite grandson. His grandfather had kept Jinkai by his side from a young age, and mentored him well. He had learned how to project an air of superiority and maturity that was far from the norm for a 14-year-old child.

The expression he wore as well as his aura earned him much admiration on the part of his peers when he was still in school.

However, he knew he was neither speaking to students of his school now nor facing the staff at his father’s company. Instead, he was talking to a group of threatening and evil kidnappers, and he risked losing his life at any moment.

“Ah, young man, you’re rather brave!”

Da glanced at Huo Jinkai and sneered, “Release you? Sure, I can do that. It’s not out of the question. All you need to do is to get your old man to bring us the cash.”

Instantly, Huo Jinkai understood Da’s motives. It was obvious that all their kidnappers wanted out of this was money.

He glanced around and realized that, other than Da, all of the other three accomplices had covered up their faces with cloth.

This observation afforded him some slight relief, as he believed that the hiding of their identity meant that the kidnappers had no intention of killing them. They should be safe for now.

“What’s wrong? Are you finally getting scared? Are you afraid now?” Da took out his cell phone and stood in front of Huo Jinkai. “Come, give me your father’s phone number.”

Huo Jinkai glanced directly at the phone in Da’s hands without saying a word. Da seemed to be unphased by the young man’s lack of cooperation, and he followed up his demand by punching Huo Jinkai in the chest.

“Young man, what are you thinking? Hm? I’m telling you, ignoring me is not going to help. Don’t think of escaping while I’m around. If you don’t wish to die, follow my orders obediently. If not, I will make sure you suffer.”

Huo Jinkai clenched his teeth in distaste and glared at Da, who was staring before him. Although he did not wish to comply, he was pretty much helpless to resist.

After all, he had no way of knowing whether or not that the bunch of kidnappers would seriously harm him for resisting, whether now or later.

As he hesitated, another punch landed on him from behind.

“Quick, give me that phone number now.”

Given his options, Huo Jinkai decided to give Huo Mingguang’s phone number to Da. As he spoke the numbers aloud, he started to observe the surroundings he was trapped in surreptitiously, trying to find any possible escape routes they could take.
