4440: The Other Side 409

The Other Side 409

When Gong Jie saw this, the muscles on his face tightened.2

Could it be…

Damn it! Was this man going to behead Hua Jin?!

"Stop…" Just as Gong Jie was about to stop him, the man grabbed the sabre and swung it at the actor's head.

"Oooh…" With a dull thud, the actor shuddered slightly and finally reacted.

"Don't worry, he's still alive!" The heretic snorted disdainfully, obviously mocking Gong Jie for making a fuss.

Gong Jie squeezed his fist and said, "Take off the hood on his head."

"Why? I think your goal is to determine if the hostages are still alive. The rest is redundant."

Gong Jie retorted, "How am I supposed to confirm that the hostage is still alive if you don't remove the hood. I wouldn't know if this is someone else you've randomly found to make things up."

"Oh… voices can't be imitated."

"As a matter of fact, voices are really easy to imitate. I repeat, I want to make sure the hostages are safe."

The cult disciple suddenly became furious! He raised the sabre in his hand and waved it in front of the screen, showing off. "Don't play any tricks, and stop coming up with all sorts of unreasonable conditions! It's already confirmed for you through the video. He's not dead. What else do you want?! Our Sect Master negotiated this business with you with 100% sincerity. What right do you have to doubt him?!"

Gong Jie said calmly, "You say you're 100% sincere, but you still beheaded a hostage, is this considered sincerity? I'm sorry, but I can't see any sincerity coming from your end!"

"You…"

"Take off the hood!" The man's eyes turned cold. "This is my last concession. Otherwise, the deal is off."

The evil cultist was so angry that he paced back and forth a few steps. However, they did not dare to be too arrogant in front of the Hurricane Group. It was obvious that Gong Jie's attitude made them uneasy.

They were indeed worried that the Hurricane Group was indifferent towards these three hostages.

No matter what kind of kidnappers, the worst that could happen is ending up with hostages who hold no value in a negotiation.

Therefore, they did not dare to be too impudent.

"Alright, that's our last concession as well." The evil cultist walked to the actor's side and immediately tore off the black sack.

Instantly, Gong Jie saw the actor's weak and pale face through the screen. For some reason, his heart palpitated in fear as he looked at the actor. It was obvious that those evil cult disciples had not been polite to him. It was inevitable that they would beat him up.

There were some light bruises on his face and some bloodstains on his neck. No one knew how he got them.

Now, he was very weak.

The actor had just woken up from being hit by the knife handle, and had no idea that he was on a video call at this moment. As soon as he opened his eyes, he asked weakly, "Hungry… I'm so hungry… I want to drink water… water…"

One could vaguely see that his lips were extremely dry. Other than that, his voice was low, as if he hadn't eaten in days.

Gong Jie was a little angry. "It seems like they haven't eaten for a long time."

However, the evil cult disciple did not think much of it. "One won't die from being starved for a few days."

"But he says he's hungry and wants water. How many days have you not given him water?"

"That's none of your business." The evil cult disciple snorted. "Anyway, we just have to ensure that he's still alive. We can't care less about the rest!"

Even the cult members were short of clean food and water.
