A Devil in a Mask 4

The rest of the police were now very obedient to the orders demanded as they were all scared by the sight.

“If I ask a question, you answer. If none of you can answer the question or if I’m not satisfied with the answer, then I’ll shoot someone..”

Then, the man in the white mask walked towards Erdan.

“Where’s the pregnant woman we demanded?” His voice was deep and strong and his Chinese eloquent.

“I really don’t know…”

Before Erdan could finish his response, he was shot in the head and died immediately.

Zhu Darong was beside Erdan, and he was so scared that he almost peed himself.

“I told you they weren’t good people but you were greedy for that two million… You idiot… You killed us…” the human trafficker’s wife exclaimed and started crying ceaselessly.

“Since you mentioned that, you know where she is?” the man in the mask said and approached the human trafficker’s wife.

“Sir, we really don’t know. We did capture her but she escaped…”

“Escaped to where?”

“We don’t know. We’re also searching for her. We want that two million too. We are as anxious about finding her as you are…” she cried and explained.

“Not telling the truth, eh? Bring the kid over.”

The man in the white mask’s subordinates dragged her daughter to the center.

The child was so frightened that she didn’t smile, cry, or utter a word.

“Stop! This has nothing to do with our daughter. I beg you, please don’t hurt her. I’ll pray for you!” The woman charged towards the man in the white mask and started kowtowing.

Yet, her actions made no difference.

“If your wife won’t talk, will you?” the man in the mask asked Zhu Darong.

“As a man, I am telling the truth. I really don’t know. I had my men search but got no news.”

The head police officer and his subordinates knew something but none of them spoke because they knew that if any of them said anything, they would be targeted.

If they couldn’t tell these men in masks where the pregnant woman was now, they most likely would be shot dead.

The police were all selfish and wanted to protect themselves, so none of them were willing to tell them that the pregnant woman got away with someone.

“I really couldn’t find her. If I found her, why wouldn’t I hand her over to you?” Zhu Darong was so anxious that he started crying.

He deeply regretted that he didn’t listen to his wife and take the pregnant woman with them on the road. If he had done so, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

“You aren’t a man of your words. You promised us the person and we’ll pay for her. We have the money for you but you don’t have the woman… I’m really not happy about that.”

Then, the man raised a gun and pointed it at the girl’s head.

“Please don’t kill my daughter… She’s innocent. I beg of you.”

The woman kneeled to the ground and cried her soul out.

The sound of the gunshot was followed by the girl’s brains exploding out; the blood of the girl splashed onto her mother. Then the mother went berserk and bit the man in the mask’s leg.

The man in the mask was not rattled at all. He simply looked down and slowly pulled the trigger. Immediately, the bullet went through the woman’s head.

In just 20 seconds, two lives disappeared from the world…

“Honey…” Zhu Darong shouted. He couldn’t even squeeze out a tear at this moment.

He had heard other people curse him about human trafficking. That sooner or later, there would be karma. He didn’t care before because he only saw money. He wasn’t scared of losing his morals because he got the money he so desired.

Now, however, when he saw the murder of his own wife and child, he began to believe in karma.

“I’ll fight you to death…” Zhu Darong tried to fight back but as he stood up, the man in the white mask stabbed his collar bone with a knife. Since he was not shot, he felt immense pain as he did not face an immediate death.

“I’ll give you one minute. If no one tells me where the pregnant woman is in one minute, then I’ll bomb this place and you’ll all die.”

The head police officer was petrified by this and said, “Please don’t kill me. I know where the pregnant woman is.” He was so scared of death that he was willing to confess the only knowledge he had of the pregnant woman: the route she escaped from.
