She originally planned to cover them with some dust or flour and then take the opportunity to steal the guns.

But looking at those torches, if we were to throw ash over them now, it could cause a major problem for the entire cave.

These torches are getting in the way; we need to find a way to put them out, otherwise they'll hinder our movement.

Gu Rong searched on the panel and finally found something that satisfied her.

An invisibility talisman was affixed and placed behind Sun Shi and the others. A gust of wind swept in, and the torches in everyone's hands were instantly extinguished.

The torches in the cave were made using kerosene lamps.

The kerosene in kerosene lamps was far inferior to that of gasoline later on.

The seller described the super-powerful fan she bought as capable of extinguishing even a gasoline torch, let alone a kerosene one.

As all the torches went out, Gu Rong quickly ran towards Sun Shi's direction.

As soon as Sun Shi felt the firelight disappear, he immediately fired a shot in front of him.

Gu Rong was initially unsure of Sun Shi's location, but upon seeing the flash of light, she stepped forward, took him into her spatial storage, disarmed him, and then instantly released him.

For Sun Shi, the pistol in his hand disappeared inexplicably in just a short moment.

This made him panic instantly, and he shouted to Old Ma behind him, "Old Ma, give me the gun."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma panicked instantly: "I...I lost my gun on the way here."

"Lost?" Sun Shi was surprised that even after he gave such detailed instructions, the other party's gun could still be lost.

In particular, his two guns were mysteriously lost.

There was no one else around him, and everything that had just happened felt like it was haunted.

Hearing the commotion inside the cave, Chu Jianshu, standing at the cave entrance, called out to the person behind him, "Brother, bring a torch over here."

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Xing and the people behind him lit torches and brought them over.

Chu Jianshu took the torch, returned to the cave entrance, and looked at the people inside before speaking again: "Hey, Comrade Sun, it's only been a little dark, how come the gun is still missing somewhere?"

After saying that, he looked at the crowd behind Sun Shi and said, "Your eldest brother has lost his gun. There's nothing left to protect you. If you come out now, your families won't be implicated."

Old Ma knew he was completely finished when he saw the guns in the hands of the men behind Chu Jianshu.

He glanced at Sun Shi and Lin Qi, then silently gave a wink to the person behind him.

Then, with a fawning smile, he looked at Chu Jianshu and said, "Comrade Chu, I'm just a supporting character. I don't know anything else. I admit my mistake."

Seeing that Old Ma had admitted it, the other henchmen also put down their wooden sticks and followed Old Ma forward, trembling.

Sun Shi glared angrily at Lao Ma, "You traitor! Don't forget what you did. Do you really think that if you admit it now, you'll get lenient treatment?"

Looking at the infighting among the crowd, Chu Jianshu smiled and said to Lao Ma and the others, "Of course, you know the Han family in Beijing, right? I can protect you."

Old Ma looked at Chu Jianshu, somewhat puzzled: "The Han family? Aren't you...?"

Chu Jianshu glanced at the other party and said with a smile, "These are just some means to protect ourselves. Come out quickly, everyone. Stop struggling. There's no point in struggling. I said I would protect you, and I will."

When Lao Ma heard this, he was somewhat unwilling to believe it, but in the current situation, they were like turtles caught in a jar, with no chance of resisting.

He glanced at Sun Shi and Lin Qi one last time, then stepped out with his henchmen: "Remember what you said."

"Naturally," Chu Jianshu waved his hand, and the men behind him stepped forward and tied up Lao Ma and the others.

Although their family has some influence in Beijing, they are all legitimate military personnel and don't have the power to extend their reach here.

Everything is subject to legal punishment. At most, their family can only stay above the law and prevent others from reaching too far.

What he just said was nothing more than a way to fool these people. As for the final judgment, it will depend on how much evil they have done.

Chu Jianshu looked at the two people standing there all alone and said to Lin Qi, "Sun Shi, Lin Qi, your superiors have already abandoned you. If you want to save your lives, you'd better surrender quickly."

As long as you explain everything you've done over the years, I can guarantee you won't die, and your families won't be implicated.

Hearing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but feel a little moved.

When he first entered this industry, he thought he would be involved someday, but he never expected it to happen so soon.

Moreover, he does have an elderly mother and father at home, and two children. If he could truly avoid implicating his family and keep his belongings, they could live a better life.

As for Bai Rou, he never expected things to turn out this way.

But Lin Qi didn't dare to go directly over. He glanced at Sun Shi in front of him and walked behind him: "Brother Sun, given the current situation, what should we do?"

Sun Shi had come to understand Lin Qi better over this period of time; he was simply not a good person.

Sun Shi glanced at Lin Qi and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Sun, there are so many people outside now, and Lao Ma and the others have all been arrested."

There are only two of us now, and we are no match for them at all. If we resist, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Moreover, given our family situation, if we are allowed to leave, we can get out one day and life won't be difficult. Even if we can't get out, our family can still manage.

"Why don't we listen to Comrade Chu and explain things clearly? Maybe we can really save our families."

Sun Shi grabbed Lin Qi by the neck and whispered angrily, "You good-for-nothing! If you die, our lives are over."

He glanced at Chu Jianshu's position and the gap beside him: "As long as we can break through, someone will come to rescue us."

But if you betray those above, not only will you be spared, but you also think your family will be let off the hook. Anyway, if you want to go in, then go ahead and do it yourself.

Lin Qi hesitated after Sun Shiyi's words, but he was still somewhat shaken.

Seeing this, Sun Shi grabbed his shoulder and said, "Believe me, we will definitely be able to get out of here. Even if we can't, we will have done our best. That way, even if something happens, the higher-ups won't blame our families."

The choice is yours. If you come with me and charge out, our lives will remain the same as they are now. I'll give you half a minute to think about it.

Lin Qi glanced at the people outside, then at Sun Shi, thinking about the people upstairs and the elderly and children at home.

Finally, I made up my mind: "My children are still young, and I have a long road ahead of me. I'm just a worthless life, so what if I lose it? Brother Sun, I'll go with you."

"Alright, let's charge in together!" Sun Shi drew his knife from behind him and shouted at Chu Jianshu, "I'm giving you one last chance to let us leave."
