The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Lu Yao fought against the effects of the drug, trying to stay awake, but it was in vain.

He was groggy but, through the sound of the engine, recognized that they were in a Fengcheng-brand van. Halfway through, the three criminals transferred them to another van.

It wasn't until the van finally stopped that Lu Yao's consciousness began to clear.

The three thugs brought Lu Yao and Jiang Bai into a spacious warehouse.

Their hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes, and their mouths were sealed with tape.

Jiang Bai had also regained consciousness by now.

Seeing Lu Yao and Jiang Bai tightly bound like fish on a market slab, the three thugs finally relaxed their tense nerves.

One of the fat thugs removed the stocking mask from his head with a grunt and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Wearing this damned thing all the way has almost suffocated me."

Seeing the thug suddenly remove his mask, Lu Yao exchanged a glance with Jiang Bai, both feeling a shiver.

If the thugs were only after money, they would have carefully concealed their true appearances to avoid future trouble. But the fact that the fat thug didn't care about hiding his face meant that they likely had more sinister intentions, and the thugs might be planning to kill them.

The other two thugs also removed their masks.

One of them, shorter and stocky, had a sharp look in his eyes. From their behavior, Lu Yao quickly assessed that this short thug was the one in charge among the three.

The third thug, with a pockmarked face, caught Lu Yao's attention. His right pinky was missing, and there was an inexplicable familiarity about him.

Lu Yao frowned slightly, trying to recall where he had seen this person before but couldn't place him.

He focused on listening to the thugs' conversation, hoping to gather some useful information.

The fat thug clapped the pockmarked thug on the shoulder. "Ma Zi, we managed to catch these two fat sheep thanks to your tip."

Ma Zi smiled flatteringly. "I only knew a bit of inside information. It's mainly because of your bravery that we were able to catch them."

The fat thug leered. "Don't flatter yourself. If you hadn't angered Brother Dao by messing with his woman, you'd still be wasting away in the casino. How was Brother Dao's woman?"

Ma Zi's face fell into a look of regret. He wished he hadn't been so driven by lust. If not for his mistakes, he might still be enjoying life with the money from the Li family, instead of being chased by a gangster and fleeing abroad.

Two months ago, Ma Zilian had lost everything in gambling and was at his wit's end. While in the casino, he overheard that the long-lost child of the Lu family had been found. He suddenly remembered that his deceased mother used to work as a nanny for the Lu family and had kidnapped their child before committing suicide out of guilt.

The more Ma Zilian thought about it, the stranger it seemed. His mother had no grievances with the Lu family, so why did she suddenly kidnap their child? Fortunately, Ma Zilian, being sloppy and never cleaning his house, still had all his mother's belongings despite her being dead for over a decade.

Rummaging through everything, Ma Zilian found a secret bank card. When he checked it, he found it had five million yuan. This made Ma Zilian ecstatic. However, he took the five million to the casino and lost it all in less than half a month.
