Sun Dahu's words surprised me somewhat.

It seems that He Hai's investigation into me was far more comprehensive than I had imagined; he even knew about the Judge's Record.

Most importantly, when He Hai learned that I had been captured, his first action was not to have Sun Dahu bring me to see him, but to begin interrogation and ask about the Judge's Record.

This shows that in He Hai's eyes, the Judge's Record is far more valuable than mine.

This thought also made me doubt for a moment. Could it be that He Hai was targeting me not only because he wanted revenge, but also because he had something to gain?

But I felt that this logic didn't make sense, so I asked Sun Dahu, "I'm very curious, now that He Hai is desperate and struggling to save his own life, what use would my family's ancestral books be to him?"

Sun Dahu said coldly, "I've made myself very clear: hand over the items, and your friend can live. It's that simple."

Seeing that Sun Dahu wasn't going to answer my question, I sighed and said, "You're right. Since I'm here to exchange people, I don't care about what happened to me. I'm all alone, so there's no point in keeping my possessions. I can hand over this book, but can you answer a few questions for me? How many of us did you arrest?"

"two."

Seeing that I was willing to cooperate, Sun Dahu said coldly, "There's another big oaf. That guy is too good at fighting and has caused us a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, I raised my voice and asked, "Is he still alive?"

"The man was left in the next tent. When we caught him, we used a bear-hunting tranquilizer dart to subdue him."

Sun Dahu said coldly, "Our conditions are simple: hand over the book, and we'll release your two friends."

"I didn't have that book on me."

I shook my head: "You know what I do, I'm underground all day, the humidity is too high, I can't bring that kind of thing down here."

Sun Dahu dismissed it: "This is a minor issue. Just tell me where you put the books, and I'll send someone to retrieve them."

"Okay, but you have to let me meet my two friends first."

I seized the opportunity to make a condition: "I came here for them, so it's not too much to ask to meet them, is it?"

“That’s reasonable. As long as you don’t cause me any trouble, I won’t make you feel too bad.”

Seeing that I was in a good mood, Sun Dahu stood up from his chair and waved to the men holding me: "Take him to the yard and let him see the man who was hung up."

Upon hearing the order, the two of them pulled me out of the tent.

The person in front of me went out first, lifted the curtain outside, and waited for my teammates to push me out.

As I walked forward, I clearly saw the figure outside sway slightly, and then another hand took over and grabbed the curtain.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing the changes outside the tent, I knew that Xue Dong and the others had come down. I coughed twice to remind the people outside that it was me who was about to come out.

Immediately afterwards, I was pushed out.

A quick glance revealed three people to the left of the tent exit: two were holding down the young man who had just come out, and the other was tightly covering his mouth.

Before I could even look to the other side, someone behind me pushed me, and then someone hiding on the other side of the tent grabbed his clothes by the shoulder, pulled him aside, and covered his mouth with their hand.

The man was attacked, and although his mouth was covered, he still managed to make a nasal sound: "Ugh! Ugh ugh!"

Get out of the way!

Upon hearing the voice, Xue Dong didn't have time to push me away. Instead, acting on instinct, he kicked me.

"Gulp!"

I was caught off guard and kicked to the ground by Xue Dong. Before I could even recover, I heard gunshots.

"Avoid the doorway!"

"Counterattack!"

As several shouts rang out, chaos erupted behind them.

I turned my head and saw that some people had already rushed into the tent. Before I could say anything, two strong men dragged me aside.

All of this happened quite quickly. From the moment I stepped out the door, only about ten seconds had passed when a male voice came from inside the tent: "Gotcha!"

Hearing the shouts from inside, Xue Dong waved to the remaining people: "Maintain the perimeter, rescue people!"

I overheard a conversation, struggled to my feet, and ran toward the tent.

When I got to the door, I realized that the commotion Xue Dong and the others had made at the door earlier was deliberately to attract Sun Dahu's attention. At this moment, a huge gash had been cut in the side of the tent with a knife, and two strong men were holding Sun Dahu down tightly, with the electrodes of a Taser still attached to his body.

Seeing me enter, Sun Dahu, sprawled on the ground, roared with eyes blazing with fury, "Fuck your grandma! You dare to play dirty tricks on me! When Tiger Lord turns the tables, I'll whip you to pieces!"

"Bang!"

Xue Dong kicked Sun Dahu in the face: "You're already being held down, so stop spouting nonsense and you'll only make yourself suffer!"

At that moment, Xue Dong's men also found a key on one of the men and unlocked my handcuffs.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just then, gunshots rang out again outside, followed by a burly man running into the tent: "Boss Xue, the sentries outside have spotted a disturbance inside and are rushing in. Their firepower is much weaker than we expected; there's only one gun outside!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Xue Dong handcuffed the handcuffs I had taken off onto Sun Dahu's wrists, then pulled him up, pressed a gun against his head, and pushed him out of the tent, shouting, "Everyone outside, look carefully! Your leader has been arrested! We are not police officers, you don't need to fight us!"

Sun Dahu struggled and roared hysterically, "Don't listen to their nonsense! Charge in and kill them!"

"Bang!"

Xue Dong lowered his wrist and fired a shot into Sun Dahu's leg, then pressed the muzzle against his temple: "We are all legal people, unlike you desperados, so we will leave room for maneuver! I don't want to be charged with murder; I'm only here to save people! If you cooperate with me, you still have a chance to live; otherwise, you'll be the first to die! Now, tell them all to stop!"

"Stop your mother!"

Sun Dahu's eyes widened like a bull's: "Since I've chosen this line of work, do you think I'm afraid of dying?"

"Even without your cooperation, I can still deal with the people outside, it's just a bit more troublesome, but you are different."

Xue Dong lowered the gun, pressing it against Sun Dahu's crotch: "I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't cooperate, I'll make you the last eunuch in China, and then sever your tendons! For someone like you who's on the run, becoming a cripple is probably more interesting than death, isn't it?"
