"A good-for-nothing wretch who's more likely to ruin everything!"
In a fit of rage, Brother Long instinctively reached for the homemade gun at his waist, about to kill Xu Zao.
Although Skinny Monkey also hated Xu Zao, he felt that killing her like this was too easy for her, so he quickly stopped her.
"Brother Long, shooting this bitch dead is no fun! We can't let her die a peaceful death, we have to torture her slowly and make her taste the agony of wishing she were dead!"
Brother Long was upset and didn't say anything, which was considered tacit consent.
The skinny monkey's eyes gleamed as he dragged the crying and pleading Xu Zao deeper into the cave.
At this moment, the timid Gray asked in a trembling voice:
"Brother Long... what should we do now? How about... we release them and slip away through the back of the mine? This mountain is so big, and there are many forks in the road inside. They won't be able to find us in time. If we run now, we might still make it in time!"
"run?"
Brother Long let out a cold snort, full of disdain and ruthlessness.
He and his gang have been running rampant for so long, what kind of situation haven't they seen?
We've never been forced to the point of having to run away at the first sign of trouble!
He looked down on those in uniforms, thinking they were just paper tigers relying on their numbers, and that they wouldn't just slink away like that.
That would be so embarrassing!
If word gets out, how will Brother Long ever be able to stay in the underworld again?
Brother Long spat and said viciously:
"I'm not running! I'm not going anywhere! Aren't they so capable that they can find their way to my door without sending a message? Fine! Then let's not play those tricks on them!"
His cold gaze swept over Zhou Qiqi, who appeared to be unconscious on the ground.
"Write the extortion letter now! Make them hand over the money obediently! If they dare not agree, or dare to take another step forward..."
He made a chopping gesture, his tone menacing.
"I'll chop off this woman's hand and send it to them! Let's see who's tougher!"
Upon hearing this, Hui Zi quickly chimed in, "Great! Brother Long is brilliant! Let's... let's do it that way! Then... who will write the letter?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the group of brothers behind him.
This has stumped me.
The group looked at each other, most of them with troubled expressions.
These people either never went to school or dropped out early, and they can't even recognize all the characters, let alone write.
Occasionally, there might be two people who could barely recognize a few characters, but they had long forgotten most of them, so how could they possibly write a ransom note?
All eyes finally turned to Brother Long.
Brother Long himself was a roughneck; he could count the number of characters he knew on his fingers, and his face immediately fell.
He paced back and forth in the cave, feeling a bit agitated.
Suddenly, he saw the skinny monkey about to drag Xu Zao away and hurriedly shouted:
"Skinny Monkey! Wait! Bring that bitch back to me!"
"Her! Didn't she claim to be from the city? Let her write it! Let's get down to business first!"
At this point, Xu Zao's limited education became his lifeline.
Xu Zao nodded hurriedly, crying, and shouted, "I can! I can write! Brother Long, I'll write! I'll definitely write well!"
"Then take it with you and write over there. There's paper and pen over there."
Brother Long waved his hand impatiently, then pointed to his two subordinates beside him and gave the order:
"You! And you! Keep a close eye on them! If anything goes wrong, I'll skin you alive!"
The two thugs who were named quickly responded.
The cave fell silent for the time being, with only the two guards and Zhou Qiqi remaining.
One of the bandits glanced at Zhou Qiqi on the ground, curled his lip, and said to his companion:
“She’s a weak woman. We beat her badly just now, and she’s pretty unconscious. She probably won’t wake up for a while. Let’s forget about her and figure out which way to go if we need to escape.”
But the other thug ignored him; he was clearly more alert.
He felt that Zhou Qiqi's lying posture was a little off, and her arm seemed to have moved slightly.
His heart tightened, and he immediately shouted sternly, "Hey! What are you doing?! Don't move!"
