Another kidnapper, however, knelt down and tore off Debbie's high heels. He threw them away.
Before he could stand up, Debbie winked at her bodyguard. He immediately got her point, and they flew into action side by side.
She raised her leg and kicked the kidnapper in the jaw.
Caught off-guard, the kidnapper was sent flying backwards, and he let his gun go. It skidded across the floor.
The bodyguard kicked another thug's gun, and it flew away and landed about five meters away from them.
Now that they were both disarmed, it was a free-for-all. Who would get a gun first? Debbie rushed towards the nearest one.
She was a fast runner, so she got there first. The young mother kicked the weapon to the corner of a wall. Then she stomped on it at just the right angle, and the gun flew upwards. Before it landed on the floor again, she raised her leg and punted the piece.
Wyatt, on the other hand, was searching for Debbie and her bodyguard. He heard the sounds of fighting on the 16th floor, so he immediately contacted Carlos.
It was after 8 p.m., and most of the employees had already gone home. The 16th floor contained meeting rooms.
From the 13th floor to the 19th floor, the middle of the building was hollow, and the roof was on the 19th floor. The gun kicked by Debbie flew to the hollow part, and dropped onto the 13th floor.
The kidnapper was furious when he saw it. He raised his hand, about to slap Debbie in the face. But something stopped him. He had enough time to turn his head, only to have something hard strike him in the skull. It was the gun kicked by the bodyguard.
"Fuck! Assholes! I'll kill you!" The kidnapper continued cursing nonstop and picked up the gun from the floor.
He pointed it at the bodyguard and squeezed the trigger. The gun had a silencer, so the bullet quietly left the gun and sped toward Debbie's bodyguard.
Luckily, the bodyguard was quick enough to dodge. "Run, Mrs. Huo!" he yelled.
Debbie, however, didn't listen to him. She raised her leg and kicked the kidnapper in the knee. "Ouch!" The kidnapper fell to the floor, but he still clutched the gun tightly. Ignoring the pain in his knee, he raised his wrist and shot at the bodyguard again.
Meanwhile, another two kidnappers dashed towards Debbie with daggers, glinting in the gloom. As one of them was about to stab her, his phone rang. "What? Abort?"
After a while, the kidnapper gestured for his buddies to leave.
At that moment, Debbie grabbed another kidnapper, deftly avoiding his dagger, and sent him flying backwards with his momentum and a kick.
The kidnapper cried in pain and didn't dare to move forward again. Now that his boss called off the mission, he struggled to his feet and ran towards the exit, trying to escape.
The moment they disappeared, Wyatt showed up and said, "Mrs. Huo, I already called the police. They won't get away." He and his men began to untie the ropes constraining Debbie and her bodyguard.
Wyatt's men scampered off, chasing after the kidnappers.
"Hmm." Debbie nodded and rubbed her aching ankles, which were starting to get cramps, thanks to the fight.
"I called Mr. Huo, too. He's on the way."
"Okay." Debbie was curious as to why the kidnappers suddenly pulled out.
After Carlos arrived, she got her answer.
