Chapter 561 - 561: After Committing Such a Heinous Crime, Where Do You Think You're Going?

"What, you think I'm running a bank?"

Wu Da strode forward, grabbed the man's collar, and said, enunciating each word, "Are you... trying to back out of our deal?"

"Let him go."

The woman holding the child cried out, her face filled with terror as she looked at Wu Da. She wanted to step forward but feared the child would be snatched away.

"Wu Da, don't you go too far!"

The man shouted. Although he appeared frightened on the surface, he already had a plan in mind.

They had to go with Wu Da to get the money while holding the child. That way, they could follow the trail and wipe out these criminals in one fell swoop.

"Me, going too far? Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Wu Da sneered. The two men beside him carrying briefcases also burst out laughing.

"You... believe I won't just kill you both? And snatch the child away?" Wu Da suddenly released the man, his face turning sinister.

"Wu Da, don't get reckless. I wasn't born yesterday. Not a single cent less than three million!" The man's expression didn't change as he stared defiantly into Wu Da's eyes.

Just then, one of the men with the briefcases leaned in and whispered something in Wu Da's ear.

Wu Da's expression shifted slightly, and his tone softened. "Fine. Three million it is. Give me the child first."

He gritted his teeth as if the price had exceeded his budget.

In reality, his client had given him a high price of ten million, and he had already lined his own pockets with eight million of it!

Making him cough up another million was like cutting a piece of his own flesh.

"We exchange at the same time. The money for the child."

The man took a step back, once again shielding the woman and child.

"Where am I supposed to get the money in the middle of the night?"

As he spoke, Wu Da ordered his two subordinates to throw the two black briefcases on the ground. "Take the two million and wait here. Someone will naturally come and bring you the other million after daybreak."

"Do you take us for fools?" The man shook his head decisively.

"Can you really bear to watch the child get cold out here?"

Wu Da wrapped his windbreaker tighter. "If the child catches a cold, can you bear the responsibility?!"

"We..."

The couple exchanged a look. Then, the man said, "We'll go with you. Once we have the money, we'll give you the child."

"Fine, get in the car!"

Wu Da raised an eyebrow, a plan forming in his mind, and turned to walk away.

The couple, holding the child, followed closely behind. The two men in suits picked up the briefcases and brought up the rear.

The group crossed the Pujiang Shore and arrived at a business van.

"Get in. I'll take you back first, and we'll get your money at dawn."

Wu Da glanced back at the couple holding the child before getting into the front passenger seat.

As soon as the couple with the child got into the van, the situation suddenly changed!

Inside the van were two more men dressed in black. Two chillingly cold daggers were pressed against the necks of the couple.

"If you don't want to die, hand over the child!"

From the passenger seat, Wu Da turned and roared, his eyes filled with ferocity.

'This is bad!'

The couple's faces turned grim.

They were police officers disguised for a mission. They had thought the other party would at least take them back to their base before making a move, but they hadn't expected them to lose their patience so quickly.

"WAAAH! WAAAH! WAAAH..."

At that moment, the baby was startled awake by Wu Da's roar and began to wail again.

Left with no choice, the couple handed the child to Wu Da.

'Even if we don't want to, we can't just die here.'

'Besides, we tossed a tracker into the van right when we got in. Even if they kick us out now, we can still trace them!'

However, they had still underestimated Wu Da's ruthlessness.

The moment the child was handed to Wu Da, the world went black for the couple as they were struck with a heavy club.

THUD! THUD!

Immediately after, the man and woman were thrown out of the van. The two men outside carrying the briefcases then stepped inside.

"Let's go!"

Wu Da finally revealed a triumphant smile and waved his hand.

"You've committed such a monstrous crime. Where do you think you're going?"

Along with a cold, indifferent voice, the driver's side door was suddenly pulled open.

Before Wu Da's driver could even react, he was knocked out with a single punch.

The person was an old man with white hair and a white beard.

Who else could it be but Sun Zhen?

Earlier, Jiang Xinghai had instructed Sun Zhen to scout the surrounding area.

Sun Zhen had naturally made his way to the vicinity of Wu Da's business van.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Wu Da was holding the child and couldn't easily make a move, so the four lackeys in the back seat immediately got out of the van.

However, faced with Sun Zhen, who was at the Great Perfection of the late-stage Celestial Destiny Realm, even a hundred more of these men, whose highest cultivation was only at the Grandmaster level, wouldn't be enough to matter.

This scene stunned Wu Da.

He moved to open the passenger door and make a run for it, but his path was blocked by a tall man.

It was none other than Jiang Xinghai!

"Wh-wh-who are you?!"

Wu Da stared at the strange man before him, his gaze full of vigilance.

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you give me the child first." Jiang Xinghai held out his hands.

Wu Da didn't dare refuse. The martial prowess of Sun Zhen alone had already scared him half to death.

After taking the child, Jiang Xinghai once again released a gentle aura, and the baby quickly calmed down.

"Sir, can I go now?" An infinite chill crept into Wu Da's heart.
