Chapter 43 - Mercenaries
Chapter 43: Mercenaries
At night, Qiu Tong turned and sat up. Qiu Xingyu was holding her and she gently pried open her arms, before moving away and walking to the living room.
She frowned when she thought of the official document with the red seal.
They mobilized a lieutenant from the military just to capture a few children?
All that had happened in the past few days had confirmed that there was a major power trying to snatch her children. Their motive was unknown!
But the children needed to study in kindergarten, and she couldn’t watch after them 24/7.
Danger was inching closer like a grim reaper, forcing her to think of a way to get rid of the “flies” that surrounded them!
Qiu Tong turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard. She quickly entered a series of web addresses and entered the dark web anonymously.
“Protecting children for one month. A team of three and above to rotate over a 24-hour shift. $500,000 upfront payment.”
When this news was released, a group of mercenaries immediately accepted the contract and agreed to the specific details and location with her.
Qiu Tong looked back at the children who were sleeping soundly under the moonlight. She could sense their gradual transformations and her lips curled into a smile.
…
The next day, five mercenaries with bearded faces and sharp eyes, as well as wearing camouflage uniforms with their muscular biceps exposed, came to the door.
Qiu Xingqiao saw them and instinctively raised his baseball bat to protect Little Yu.
“Who are you?!”
The mercenaries looked at each other and glanced down at his smartwatch to check the address. “Is Qiu Tong your mother?”
Qiu Xingyuan stood up warily, frowning.
Qiu Xingyu nodded. “She’s our mommy! Why are you looking for her?”
“Don’t reveal your identity! They might be bad people!”
Qiu Xingqiao was very street-smart, but Qiu Tong couldn’t help chuckling at his words. She wiped her wet hands on her apron and spoke up.
“Come in. From today onwards, they are uncles who will protect you! Don’t be afraid!”
Protect?
Qiu Xingyuan could see the disdain and contempt in the mercenaries’ eyes. He continued to shield Qiu Xingyu and maintained a distance from them.
Wasn’t this woman afraid that these men would have bad motives?
Since when did she trust strangers so easily? Her personality had changed so much!
Mercenaries only respected strength and they would work for whoever paid them. Their attitude towards the children was perfunctory and although they would protect them, they did not respect them.
Seeing that Qiu Xingyu wanted to go out and play, the mercenary leader Ke Le immediately reprimanded her.
“Play?! Stay in the house and don’t go out! If you die, who will pay the rest of my fee?!”
Qiu Xingyu was so frightened that she shrank back. Her large eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Qiu Tong for help.
“Mommy…”
Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes, anger flashing across her eyes. “You guys are willing to work for money, but you don’t treat your employer very well!”
The leading mercenary was too lazy to even lift his eyes. “Cut the crap. If you guys weren’t as weak as trash, would you have spent money to hire us? In our world, whoever is strongest has the final say!”
“Since you don’t have the capability, stop nagging. If you want to stay alive, listen to us…”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Tong kicked in his direction!
Ke Le dodged nimbly and grabbed her ankle, wanting to throw her to the ground!
Qiu Tong swung twice through the air, hanging onto his throat, causing his body, which was twice her size, to fall to the ground. Ke Le’s face turned purple as he begged for mercy.
A few mercenaries initially wanted to step forward to avenge him, but they were shocked by Qiu Tong’s well-trained actions and murderous intent.
Qiu Tong released Ke Le and dusted off her hands. She looked at him as he desperately gulped down fresh air while still sprawled on the ground.
“Since whoever’s strongest has the final say, then do as I say and protect my children to the best of your abilities!”
“But pay heed to your attitude!”
The mercenaries did not expect her to be so skilled and were impressed.
Ke Le no longer dared to casually sit on the chair. Instead, he leaned against the wall and nodded with a compliant attitude. “Yes, Boss.”
The other mercenaries also wiped away their shocked expressions and saluted Qiu Tong. They shouted in unison, “Yes, Boss!”
Qiu Xingyuan, “!!”
Qiu Xingyu exclaimed, “Wow! Mommy is so awesome! She’s like the violent hot chick in the movies!”
Was that… a compliment?
Qiu Tong was dubious, but she accepted it. She sent the brats to kindergarten and headed to Mr. Cui’s villa.
She needed to settle some scores with him!
The villa’s security system was like useless decorations to Qiu Tong. She easily barged into the house and rummaged through Mr. Cui’s bedroom for the bank card she had gotten from selling her children.
After that, she deliberately left behind Lin Shan’s hair tie and a few strands of her hair, placing them in a conspicuous place. She then transferred $150,000 from that card.
Qiu Tong then tossed aside the bank card in disdain, calculating how much money she could use to pay off the mercenaries.
Before she left, she smashed a few of Mr. Cui’s favorite antique collectibles.
Even so, she believed she was going too easy on him!
