“Broad daylight, I can’t believe they’d dare to do anything!”
Ye Shuyuan furrowed her brow, saying this while taking out her cellphone to dial the emergency number, but she was surprised to discover that her phone had no signal.
“Wang, do you have a signal on your phone?”
Wang Bin was also making a call, trying to get support from the Ye Family’s security, but his call wouldn’t go through either.
“No!”
Wang Bin put down his phone and shook his head, his expression growing even more solemn, “They must have a signal-jamming device in their car, capable of blocking cellphone signals in a small area.”
After hearing Wang Bin’s words, Yang Hao also took out his phone to check and, sure enough, there was no signal.
It seemed the other party had come prepared, even using a signal jamming device.
“Wang, turn around!”
“Back to the park!”
Since there was no getting past the front, Ye Shuyuan hurriedly instructed Wang Bin to head back the way they came. If they could make it back to Suhe Bay, they would naturally be safe.
However, by this time, the Buick GL8 that had been behind them had already closed in.
And not just the Buick GL8, but a Wuling Hongguang had also pulled up alongside, trapping the Rolls-Royce Phantom in between the two vehicles, leaving no room to turn around or back up.
“So many people!”
“What exactly do they want to do?”
“Could it be a kidnapping??”
Ye Shuyuan clenched her fists nervously, her face chalk-white. She had never experienced anything like this before, after all, Hua Country was known for its exceptionally good public safety.
Now the other party had dispatched three vehicles and even had signal jamming equipment, evidently making very thorough preparations.
Such preparation signaled a significant plot!
So, Ye Shuyuan’s first thought was that they intended to kidnap her and Yang Hao.
Only she couldn’t figure out if they were after her specifically or Yang Hao.
Or perhaps they were targeting both of them!
Nevertheless, Ye Shuyuan was more inclined to think they were only after her, or after her father, for this car belonged to the Ye Family and was usually used by Ye Jianye!
“Director Yang, these people must be after our family. You stay in the car and don’t move.”
“They’re probably just after money. We’ll give them whatever they want!”
Ye Shuyuan whispered, thinking that it’s always better to lose the saddle than the horse. After all, neither the Ye Family nor Yang Hao was short of money.
As Ye Shuyuan was talking, more than ten men got out of the Buick GL8 and the Wuling Hongguang. They all wore black peaked caps and black face masks, revealing only their eyes.
In their hands, they carried a variety of weapons; some had iron bars, some carried machetes, and others held shotguns.
Ye Shuyuan had only seen this kind of scene in movies, and the composure she had managed to maintain until now suddenly gave way to trembling in complete terror, and in her extreme panic, she involuntarily moved closer to Yang Hao.
After all, he was a tall and burly man, and in times like these, he could provide her with a sense of safety.
“Miss, don’t be afraid. It’s rush hour now.”
“If the road is suddenly blocked, the traffic police will come!”
“As long as we don’t open the doors, we can hold out for a while. The police might already be on their way!”
Wang Bin said confortingly, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, as he had never encountered such a situation before.
However, as he spoke, the rear car door was suddenly pushed open.
What???
What’s going on!
How did the door open??
Wang Bin instinctively turned his head, and then saw Yang Hao push the car door open and get out.
“Director Yang, you…”
Wang Bin’s eyes were wide open, and he was completely stupefied.
This Rolls-Royce Phantom was a custom-built model with bulletproof features, the kind some heads of state use.
The windows were also made of explosion-proof glass, so if they didn’t open the doors and get out, they could have held out for quite a long time.
The police might even arrive any minute!
But Yang Hao had voluntarily opened the car door and stepped out, which was like throwing himself into the lion’s den!
Ye Shuyuan, who had been leaning towards Yang Hao, was also stunned. She reached out to call him back, but he slammed the car door shut.

As the car door closed, she faintly heard Yang Hao tell her “not to get out of the car”!
Was he planning to face it all by himself?
But there were so many of them!!
Ye Shuyuan stared blankly at Yang Hao’s retreating figure, her mind blank.
“Miss, Director Yang wants to protect you!”
At that moment, Wang Bin at the driver’s seat suddenly spoke up.
Ye Shuyuan, looking at the figure outside the window, grew increasingly worried as she began to understand Yang Hao’s thinking.
Being a woman, and a very beautiful, well-known TV hostess at that, if she fell into their hands, she might be violated, or worse, face things she dared not even imagine.
Yang Hao, being a man, likely didn’t have such concerns, which is why he took it upon himself to negotiate with them. If the issue could be resolved with money, that would be ideal.
If the situation couldn’t be resolved, then they would be at the mercy of fate!
Still, Yang Hao’s act of stepping forward shocked and moved Ye Shuyuan.
After all, there were so many of them.
Going out there was very dangerous, especially when you didn’t know what the other party’s intent was!
“The road is blocked; we can only pray the traffic police come quickly!”
“Or that someone on the road behind us calls the police!”
Wang Bin said, turning his head to look back.
This road was a small road leading directly from Suhe Bay to the main thoroughfare, with mostly Suhe Bay residents or property staff coming from behind.
But as the owners of a luxury estate like Suhe Bay were few, not many would be leaving at this time. Wang Bin glanced back and saw only one car, still quite a distance away.
