(The third update is here. I almost messed up the order when I uploaded it today. It scared me to death, but luckily I managed to fix it in time.)

The moment Ludin was threatened, his men panicked.

"Put the gun down," Pu Weichao said.

Lu Ding was unwilling, but to save his life, he had no choice but to put down his gun and order his men to do the same. Lu Jing and Zhang Zhihao collected all the guns, and now Lu Ding and his men had no leverage to threaten us.

To be honest, I was a little confused from beginning to end.

When Pu Weichao told me about the mission, I felt nervous and scared, but from the time I started my mission until now, I've only driven one car, and then nothing else has happened.

Neither side fired a single shot, nor did they engage in any physical altercation.

Ludin lost outright.

Is this Pu Weichao's ability and plan?

I find it incredible.

It all felt very simple; it started simply and it ended simply.

However, this was only my own perspective. Only after Pu Weichao began to explain did I realize how many intricacies were involved, and I couldn't help but admire Pu Weichao's abilities once again.

Ludin knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

He looked up at Pu Weichao, his face full of resentment, and said, "Your Zhou Liang said before that I couldn't beat you at all. At first I didn't believe it, but now I have to believe it. You are indeed powerful."

Pu Weichao smiled and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."

Luding said, "I reckon you won't let me off the hook. In that case, let me die knowing why you knew my plan."

I'd also like to know that.

Why would Pu Weichao know about Lu Ding's arrangements and plans?

Pu Weichao didn't rush to explain; instead, he looked at Lu Ding's accomplices and observed their situation.

I saw a serious look in Pu Weichao's eyes, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Pu Weichao turned his head and whispered in my ear, "I have a bad feeling about this. Be careful later."

I don't understand. Ludin has already been arrested. Could it be that Ludin has a backup plan?

Pu Weichao didn't tell me the specifics, but after scanning Lu Ding's men with his gaze, I suddenly felt a pang of unease and understood Pu Weichao's concerns.

The people of Ludin are all too calm!

This is very unusual. They are facing a life-or-death situation, how could they be so calm? I saw panic on their faces when they were threatened before, but now, only two minutes later, their expressions have returned to normal. Why?

Are they not afraid of dying?

Obviously not!

So there's a problem!

"If you're not willing to talk, just kill me. There's no need to humiliate me like this!"

Pu Weichao looked down at him and said, "Making you kneel is an insult? Lu Ding, didn't you want to know why I could see through your plan? Fine, I'll tell you now."

“Because your own weaknesses are too great!” Pu Weichao said, “You learned about our location through Zhou Liang, but you were unsure how many people we had, so you didn’t dare to attack us. That’s why you kept sending people around to keep watch for us. Am I right about that?”

Ludin did not speak.

It's obvious that they've agreed.

"At first, I thought it was because we live too far apart, and the cost of your coming here would be too high, so I assumed you wouldn't come to attack us. But when I discovered that your residence was only ten kilometers away from mine, something suddenly occurred to me. Since you are so close to us and have been observing us for so many days, you should have known about our situation long ago. Why don't you just attack us directly? Why do you keep waiting? At that time, I kept thinking, what exactly are you waiting for?"

“At first, I had many ideas. Maybe you were waiting for weapons, after all, you don’t have many weapons. The ones I gave you are nothing compared to what we have. Then I even wondered if you were training? Or if there was a problem in your own team? I had all sorts of ideas.”

I listened to Pu Weichao's remarks in silence. Almost everyone around me was silent, and only Pu Weichao was speaking.

"But then I figured it out, and I understood what you really wanted to do."

Ultimately, you're just scared.

When Pu Weichao said this, Lu Ding sneered, seemingly unwilling to admit it.

Pu Weichao said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't want to admit it. Nobody wants to admit they're scared. But you are indeed scared. If you weren't, given your personality, you would probably have attacked right away instead of waiting until now. When you kidnapped Xiaonan and Zhou Liang before, Xiaonan told me everything about how you interrogated them when she came back."

"Afterwards, when I learned that you lived in Zijin Community, I remembered what Zhou Liang had told you..." Pu Weichao paused here, a hint of doubt and fear flashing in his eyes.

Ludin squinted and asked, "And then?"

Pu Weichao's expression returned to normal, and he said, "Then, I understood what you were trying to do. You didn't dare to attack directly, probably because of Zhou Liang's words, right? Zhou Liang said I'm very powerful, and Fei Lichao and Yan Zhengfeng are both soldiers, even more powerful. So you're afraid and don't dare to attack us directly."

I looked at Pu Weichao and realized that something was wrong with him.

Although his hands were behind his back, they were clenched tightly, as if he were afraid of something.

I became puzzled. What was wrong with him? Hadn't he already resolved the Ludin matter? Why was he still afraid?
