Chapter 748 Choice

I didn't use a walkie-talkie to contact them, since not everyone has one. I just needed to wait. In about two minutes, they would definitely be able to find the ambush location.

However, the people in the courtyard didn't seem to want to give me that time.

At this moment, Gu Yuanshan and his team members were all kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their heads. As for those standing, they were clearly from Longhu, and they were holding guns, ready to kill at any moment.

Because Gu Yuanshan kept resisting, the guy who threatened him didn't hold back and beat him until his face was covered in blood, clearly indicating that he was no longer in his right mind.

"You don't want to talk, huh?" the other party said. "Fine, if you don't want to talk, I'll just kill them. Let's see if you talk then. I'll give you three counts. If you don't talk after three counts, all of your people will die."

Faced with danger, Gu Yuanshan panicked, his face covered in blood, completely at a loss for what to do.

"One!" The guy had already started counting, and the people kneeling on the ground around him were terrified; they clearly didn't want to die.

"two!"

Hearing the other person count, I saw Gu Yuanshan's expression begin to change. He was definitely still being pricked with needles. I didn't know what that guy wanted Gu Yuanshan to say, but it must have been something very important.

Before the other person could even count to three, Gu Yuanshan said, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

The man smiled slightly, and without stopping counting, said, "Three!"

I frowned, and then I saw his eyes move. The muzzle of his gun was aimed at the head of a person next to Gu Yuanshan. Without thinking, I pointed my gun at the guy and fired before he could.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out instantly, and I blew a hole in the guy's head. Before he could even fire, he fell straight to the ground.

The remaining Longhu people in the courtyard were clearly not prepared for this to happen. By the time they realized what was happening, I had already shot and killed the second person.

The remaining men who were already lying in ambush immediately opened fire on the people in the courtyard.

Then I heard gunshots outside the gate of the community. They rushed in and opened fire on the Longhu men, killing them all.

More than a dozen people were killed in an instant.

The people in the courtyard were stunned when they saw this scene. After a moment of stunned silence, they realized that they had been saved.

I ran out of the house and went to Gu Yuanshan's side. Seeing his terrified expression, I called out twice, "Gu Yuanshan! Gu Yuanshan!"

Still in shock, Gu Yuanshan came to his senses and looked around curiously, not understanding what had happened. The corpse in front of him was obvious. He pointed at the body and asked in surprise, "He... he's dead?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, he's dead. Don't worry, you're all alright. We're back."

When Gu Yuanshan saw me, he immediately burst into tears. It was quite a surprise that a middle-aged man in his forties was crying in public. I felt a little helpless. He then hugged me tightly, as if he wanted me to comfort him.

But thinking about it, it's normal. He just faced a life-or-death decision and survived a near-death experience, so it's perfectly normal to show this kind of feeling. At least he's still alive, isn't he?

I patted his back, helped him stand up, and let him sit down on the bench against the wall. As for the rest of the people in the courtyard, they didn't look at us with much gratitude. I don't know what they were thinking. I guess they probably thought that the people from Longhu came because of us.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with us. The people from Longfor came here entirely on their own, and it has nothing to do with us.

Their emotions are still fluctuating, so I can't really explain anything to them right now. I can only tell Gu Yuanshan later. He's more reasonable, so I'm sure he'll be able to explain what happened to them.

After dealing with them, our people began to clean up the bodies. After all, life in the community still needs to go on, and it's inconvenient to leave the bodies here.

After Gu Yuanshan calmed down, he said to me, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead."

I said, "We arrived too late, but it's good that you're all alright."

Gu Yuanshan asked, "Who are they? Why are they coming to the Linshan area? And why are they asking you where you are?"

So that's what that guy was asking about?

I said, "They should be from Longhu. I think their goal is the same as ours: to unify the entire Hangzhou. They've probably already unified Longhu District, so they've extended their reach to Linshan District. Don't worry, they won't show up again. We'll find a way to completely eliminate them."

Hearing this, Gu Yuanshan felt a little relieved. He wiped the blood from his face and said, "You... you've taken care of things in the Binhai District?"

I said, "It's settled. The Binhai District is now ours. Our next target is the Longhu District. However, since the Longhu District has already agreed, it will be difficult to deal with them. So, Gu Yuanshan, there's something I think you need to do."

Gu Yuanshan looked at me, puzzled. "What is it?"

I said, “It’s not safe here anymore. Move to the mountains. At least it’s easy to defend and difficult to attack there, and it’s less likely that something will happen. If you stay here, I’m really afraid something else will happen to you. You have to learn to be flexible. The situation is different now. Since some people are starting to want to unify Hangzhou like us, you need to adapt to the changes. If you stubbornly insist on your ways, you won’t have a good outcome in the end. We might be able to come and save you this time, but what about next time? If we don’t come, are you just going to watch your people die?”

Gu Yuanshan said, "But... doesn't this contradict our original cooperation?"

I said, “Is it against the will of Heaven? No, it is not against the will of Heaven. As long as our base is still intact, we will basically not fail. Don’t you know what kind of person Pu Weichao is? Think about it carefully. This matter concerns your future life and death. Whether it is for your people or for your own survival, you must do this.”

Gu Yuanshan hesitated, completely unsure of what to do.

I've said everything I can. What he does next is his own business, and I can't interfere too much. I hope he can think it through.

Actually, I'm not worried about Gu Yuanshan; I'm more worried about the people here. I guess many of them wouldn't want to go to Linshan.
