When she arrived, Sun Shi and Lin Qi were just checking the accounts.

Lin Qi squatted down next to him and asked cautiously, "Brother, what happened to the injury on your face? Also, my pistol wasn't here just now. Is it with you?"

Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, Sun Shi ignored the pain on his face and immediately grabbed Lin Qi's collar: "Your gun is gone too? Where did you lose it?"

Seeing Sun Shi's expression, Lin Qi panicked instantly: "After you left, I went to get the gun and it was gone. You really didn't take it."

"Oh no, oh no, if the boss finds out, I'm finished. Brother Sun, when you took yours, did you see mine was still there?"

“We don’t keep them together, how am I supposed to know if yours is there?” Sun Shi felt that the loss of both of their guns was definitely not a coincidence, but he didn’t know how to explain it.

Seeing Lin Qi's flustered state, if he wasn't calmed down, it would definitely affect the subsequent operations.

Sun Shi raised his hand and slapped him: "Alright, I've lost my gun too. As long as you get today's business done, I can help you get the gun."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately perked up, grabbed Sun Shi's arm, and assured him, "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter seriously and it will be a success."

"Alright, enough nonsense, just hide here properly," Sun Shi said, shaking off his hand with disdain, but mentally ruling out Lin Qi as a suspect.

Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance, and Sun Shi and Lin Qi instantly became alert.

Lin Qi looked into the distance but couldn't see clearly. He turned to Sun Shi beside him and asked, "Brother, were these the men you called?"

"Don't speak," Sun Shi gestured for Lin Qi to be quiet, while he quietly approached the newcomer.

Upon seeing the leader of the group, Sun Shi stood up and walked towards them.

When he saw the group of people behind the other person, he couldn't help but frown: "Old Ma, is this all the people you brought?"

Old Ma patted Sun Shi on the shoulder, his face full of confidence: "As you said, there are only a few villagers up there, and my men are all good henchmen."

Besides, have you forgotten? I have other equipment here, and besides these few, there are more than a dozen people waiting to come and move things! When are we going up?"

Looking at just these few people, Sun Shi still felt a little uneasy: "Wait for the people behind you, and let them go up too."

The higher-ups have given their orders, telling him to listen to Sun Shi, so he naturally had no choice but to say, "Okay, you're the boss, so we'll listen to you. We'll wait a bit longer; they should be here soon."

While waiting for others, the group didn't waste any time and arranged their route.

Sun Shi took out a flashlight and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was drawn the general situation and route of the mountain.

Centered on the cave on the mountain, Sun Shi drew four routes and pointed to one of the points: "This point is our current location."

Once the others arrive, we'll split into four teams and go up from all four directions simultaneously. Tell me how many people are still behind, and I'll figure out the best way to arrange things.

Old Ma thought for a moment and said, "There are 10 people here now, and 15 more behind, making a total of 26 people including me."

Sun Shi thought for a moment and then made a plan: "Then, including me and Lao Lin, there will be a total of 27 people. You can start with one person from your side, and we will split into four teams."

Old Ma glanced at it and patted the man next to him: "Let's go with Xiao Hai. He's the person I trust the most. I feel at ease having him lead the team."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hai excitedly replied, "Thank you, Brother Ma. Brother Sun and Brother Lin, please let us know if you need anything."

Sun Shi glanced at it and thought it was pretty good. Besides, the person was arranged by Lao Ma, so he must know the other party well and there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Sun Shi continued to tap the paper, pointing to the furthest road: "Okay, that's Xiao Hai. You take six people on this road. When you get there, don't move. Once you hear a noise, take everyone up there."

Old Ma, let's go. We're on this path now, with 7 people. Once we get there, don't move. Listen for any sounds before you act.

He then pointed to the road on the left and said, "Old Lin, you take this road, also with seven people. When you get there, listen for my commotion, understand?"

The three listened to Sun Shi's words and nodded to indicate that they understood.

Old Ma looked at the people approaching from not far away and said, "Okay, shall we move out now?"

Sun Shi didn't speak, but glanced at Lao Ma and pulled him aside: "How many guns do you have over there? Give me one."

Old Ma touched his waist, which was his life-saving weapon, and said somewhat uneasily, "I only have two here. If I give them to you, I'll be in trouble..."

Sun Shi glanced at him and said, "Give me a hand. After this is all over, I'll put in a good word for you up there, and you might get promoted."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma immediately became interested.

After all, he's been in his current position for many years and wants to find an opportunity to move up, but there's simply no chance.

After all, there are only so many positions, and they are layered up. If no one moves down, the people below can't move up.

Even if someone is dismissed, they have more trusted people around them, so why would they give a chance to someone they don't know?

But if someone were to speak directly to those above him, wouldn't that give him a chance?

Old Ma called Xiao Hai over, pulled the gun from his waistband, and handed it to Sun Shi: "Here you go, Brother Sun."

It was exactly what he wanted, so Sun Shi took it directly.

This time he was on guard and didn't tuck it behind his back, but kept it in his hand.

Thinking of Old Ma's gun, he must have been speaking from behind his waist to warn, "This mountain is a bit eerie. Don't keep your gun behind your back. Either hold it in your hand or put it in your pocket."

Although Old Ma didn't understand, he still did as he was told, pulling out the gun and tucking it into his chest.

Sun Shi nodded upon seeing this: "Alright, now let's each take our people and head to our designated positions, then listen to my updates."

"Okay," the four of them said, and then each of them selected a person and began to move toward their chosen location.

While the group was dividing up the tasks, Gu Rong installed a locator and a recorder on Xiao Hai and Lao Ma respectively.

Then, looking in the direction the group had left, and thinking about the guns in Lao Ma and Sun Shi's hands, Gu Rong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Sun Shi has already lost a gun, so he must be on guard now.

He immediately chose to go to Old Ma's location first, and quickly followed after him, keeping pace with Old Ma who was walking in front, and observed the surrounding environment.

He simply grabbed a rock and threw it at Old Ma's feet.

Old Ma was in a hurry to get somewhere and didn't notice that he had tripped and was crawling forward.

Seeing this, Gu Rong pushed the man back again, and took the opportunity to snatch the pistol from his arms.

Although Old Ma felt the pistol in his arms disappear and thought about Sun Shi's words, his face turned even paler.
