I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 265
Chapter 265: Give Me the Knife
These past few days could be said to be like a nightmare for Jiang Chuan.
He was about to run away, but as he was getting his passport, he was knocked out. When he woke up, he realized that it was Lao Dao’s people who had caught him. He asked why, but no one answered him. He put on a blindfold, tied up, and stuffed into the car. It was bumpy, and they moved to many places. After two days of tossing, he finally got here.
He judged that he had been brought to Donghai based on the name of the office building outside the window and the advertisements on the buses on the road.
Extreme fear and despair followed!
Donghai was Li Ruotai’s territory!
He didn’t know what was going on with Li Ruotai, Wu Chen, and Lao Dao, but he could imagine that no matter whether he fell into Wu Cheni or Li Ruota’s handsi, he would not be able to survive. Not only would he not be able to survive, but he might even be worse off than dead, dragging down his family.
At noon today, he had even thought about death.
He was going to die anyway, die early… Then the Ding family would not think he was a traitor and would not hurt his family!
He had made up his mind, but he was suddenly tied up.
He didn’t know why, but he was just locked in the room before, not tied up.
He fell into despair again.
Until Wu Chen appeared.
Here’s a glimmer of hope!
“Let me go! Or I’ll kill him!!” Jiang Chuan shouted again to Wu Chen, who looked calm. The dagger in his hand hooked back, and the man also took a step back.
The thin man was kidnapped by him, and there were blood marks on his neck.
He was very skilled, but now that the knife was in Jiang Chuan’s hand, he didn’t dare to move at all.
Jiang Chuan’s skills were better than his! Although Jiang Chuan was over forty years old and his skills were not as good as when he was young, he was still very strong! Even Lao Dao called him “Master Chuan”. Such a call was not only because he was from the Ding family, but also because he respected him as a man! He was particularly good at fighting!
In terms of skill, only Lao Dao could have a 50-50 chance against him in hand-to-hand combat!
In terms of marksmanship, Jiang Chuan was even better!
But if they used a knife, a cold weapon… Jiang Chuan couldn’t beat Lao Dao.
“What are you doing?”
Cao!
The door was open. The other two people in the living room noticed the situation in the bedroom and heard Jiang Chuan’s shouting. When they came over and cursed, one pulled out a short knife and the other… The fair-skinned man with glasses took out a gun directly from his arms and pointed it at Jiang Chuan!
“Let me go!!” Jiang Chuan ignored them at all and still shouted to Wu Chen, very excited, with veins popping on his forehead.
Jiang Chuan knew very well that these three confidants of Lao Dao had guns.
He also knew that these three people were desperadoes, with human lives on their hands! If fighting alone, no one was his opponent, but with three people together, it would be very easy for them to defeat or even kill him!
This was the reason why Jiang Chuan had not dared to act recklessly in the past few days. He knew that he had no chance. It was useless to hold one of them hostage. The other two dared to take risks and shoot him!
They were people who dared to risk their lives.
But when Wu Chen came, it was different.
Wu Chen was the one who could make the decision.
The trick of holding hostage was useless for the desperado’s handler, but it was useful for the person in charge. The difference was that in the former, if someone escaped and they could ot explain to the person in charge, he could not make the decision to release the person. But in the latter… he was the boss. He could make the decision!
So, Jiang Chuan held the thin man hostage and only yelled at Wu Chen, threatening Wu Chen to let him go! He ignored the other two people.
It was the only chance.
There was no other way!
He wanted to see if Wu Chen would watch him kill his people… That would chill the hearts of the others under his command.
“Why bother?” Wu Chen calmly smiled at Jiang Chuan.
While speaking, he raised his hand and motioned for the gun to be put down.
“Let me go, and I won’t hurt him! From now on, your affairs with the Ding family have nothing to do with me! Let me go!!” Jiang Chuan became more and more excited. He couldn’t restrain his emotions and had been holding them in for several days.
If Jiang Chuan had just met Wu Chen when he was arrested, he would never be in this emotional state.
He thought too much in the past few days. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more desperate he became. His thoughts had gone through those twists and turns, and he reached the current state of mind where he thought that he should run away if he could. Run, or he would die if he couldn’t run. There was no turning back!
“There are many things that won’t be okay just because you say it’s okay.” Wu Chen looked at Jiang Chuan with a smile and said in a calm tone, “For example, the things you have done for the Ding family over the years. As long as the dirty things get out, your wife and children in the United States… may die in a fire or robbery… What do you think?”
Jiang Chuan’s expression changed.
“I heard that the scenery in Santa Clara is very good. You haven’t been there for two years, right?” Wu Chen said again, smiling after finishing his words.
Jiang Chuan’s expression changed drastically.
Wu Chen’s two simple sentences revealed a lot of information.
Santa Clara was a place, a county under the jurisdiction of California, USA. It was a very famous city and was part of Silicon Valley. Many international giant companies had their headquarters there. In terms of population structure, there were more than 35% of people were Asians.
Jiang Chuan’s wife and children live in Santa Clara.
This was something that no one even within the Ding family knew. They should be able to find out, but they definitely didn’t know before they checked!
But Wu Chen knew.
Wu Chen also knew that the last time Jiang Chuan went abroad to see his wife and children was two years ago!
“Don’t you want to talk to me?” Wu Chen asked Jiang Chuan again in a playful tone.
Wu Chen mentioned again where his wife and children lived, and also talked about fires and car accidents… That’s right! Jiang Chuan understood correctly. Wu Chen was threatening him! When talking to Lao Dao, Wu Chen didn’t want to give anything.
He didn’t want to threaten Lao Dao, so he let Lao Dao made his own decision and even gave Lao Dao the gun.
For Jiang Chuan, there was no need for this.
People were different. There was a big difference between Jiang Chuan’s character and Lao Dao’s. Lao Dao was the kind of person who could be tortured and not say anything, but Jiang Chuan was not. Jiang Chuan’s thoughts tend to be more flexible than Lao Dao.
Moreover… Jiang Chuan’s situation was more complicated than Lao Dao. After all, he had been working for the Ding family for twenty years, and Wu Chen and Ding Ruilong were fighting to the death!
Wu Chen knew that Jiang Chuan had thought about everything, and he also knew that if he hadn’t told Lao Dao to tie Jiang Chuan up when he called at noon today, Jiang Chuan would have jumped off the building…
The only person who could restrain him was his wife and children.
Jiang Chuan stared at Wu Chen, his forehead still arched with veins, and his breathing became heavier.
Finally, he suddenly raised the hand holding the knife to the side, and pushed the thin man with the other hand, pushing him towards the door. He staggered for two steps before he stood still.
Jiang Chuan still clutched the knife and stepped back to the window.
He let him go.
The attitude was shown.
But he still refused to put down the knife. He wanted to talk to Wu Chen, but he didn’t want to “let others slaughter him.” The knife was his only support.
In fact, this was just a kind of self-consolation behavior, because Wu Chen had a gun here, and there was no point in him holding a knife.
The thin man touched his neck, turned around and glared at Jiang Chuan.
“Everyone get out!” Wu Chen said at this time.
The thin man turned around and glanced at Wu Chen, then glared at Jiang Chuan before going out. The other two at the door also backed out. The three of them returned to the living room, and Wu Chen closed the bedroom door.
Wu Chen was at the door.
Jiang Chuan was at the window.
There were only two people left in the room.
Wu Chen wandered around the bedroom for a while, looking at the messy environment. When he was more than one meter away from Jiang Chuan, his eyes fell on Jiang Chuan again. He stretched out his hand and said, “Give me the knife.”
Jiang Chuan glared at Wu Chen. His breathing was still heavy, and he raised his hand…
He handed the knife to Wu Chen very slowly.
Suddenly!
He let go, and the knife fell directly to the ground. Normally, this would distract others, and others would subconsciously look at the knife falling to the ground.
The moment Jiang Chuan let go and dropped the knife, he kicked Wu Chen!
