Chapter 2 Ambush
The burning cowshed illuminated a small area of sky behind us, but made the front even darker.
Su Tong stumbled forward, at a loss, unable to tell the direction at all.
Little did they know that the unexpected fire disturbed a tense confrontation just a few hundred meters away.
——————
Jiang Pinglu, director of the Qingfeng Town Police Station, had been lying in the bushes for several hours.
Lying next to him was Ma Daming, the militia captain of Yunshan Village, and further away were comrades from the county and province.
Ma Daming twisted his stiff body, leaned slightly towards Jiang Pinglu, and asked in a voice that couldn't be any lower:
"How long will you remain in ambush? Can't hold it any longer?"
Jiang Pinglu glared at him, and Ma Daming mouthed:
“Pee!”
Jiang Pinglu looked towards the distance and saw a young man in special training clothes lying in the bushes.
It was motionless, almost blending into the night.
His specific position was not disclosed, everyone just called him "Captain Qin", and all actions during this period were commanded by him.
The main mission of this ambush is to rescue the hostages, and of course it would be best to capture the fugitive who is holding the hostages as well.
For this purpose, the police station and the militia forces of several villages under its jurisdiction were fully mobilized.
Captain Qin only stated one thing before setting off, which was to follow orders in all actions.
The negligence of one person may lead to the failure of the entire capture operation, and everyone's efforts over the days will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Pinglu glared at Ma Daming fiercely again and signaled him with his mouth:
"Hold it!"
Ma Daming had a bitter face and was about to say something when he suddenly stared into the distance and a small light was reflected in his eyes.
Jiang Pinglu looked back quickly and saw a flame suddenly ignited a hundred meters away, which was getting stronger and stronger.
It looked like a house was on fire, and it was particularly dazzling in the dark night.
Everyone's heart tightened. A fire suddenly broke out at this critical moment. Was this someone warning the fugitive or was the fugitive sensing something was wrong and testing the waters?
This area is located on the boundary between Jiangping County and Jiangbei County. Ten miles to the west, you will enter the mountains. The mountains overlook the Yangtze River and are covered with countless cliffs, caves and deep pools.
If a person escapes into the mountains, it will be like a fish into the sea or a bird into the forest, and it will be extremely difficult to catch him.
The people lurking in the bushes now turned their eyes to "Captain Qin".
Qin Yi raised his head, he was also a little doubtful about the unexpected fire.
But before they could react, they saw several figures running towards them in the light of the fire.
One of them was running in front, stumbling, as if his feet were unstable and he could fall down at any time.
The other two were chasing after him, cursing as they went along; in the quiet of the night, they could be heard especially clearly.
"You bitch! Stop right there! I'll catch you, strip you naked and tie you to a tree! I'll call the whole village to come and see... If you dare to run away from me, I'll kill you..."
When the crowd heard the obscene curses, they all frowned, but no one dared to move without orders.
Ma Daming, who was lying in the bushes, suddenly raised his head. Jiang Pinglu pushed his head down and shouted in a low voice:
"What do you want to do!"
"That's Li Youshuan from our village!"
Ma Daming glared, "He is ruining our business! I'm going to tie him up!"
"Shut up! Follow my instructions!"
Jiang Pinglu growled. He had already seen Qin Yi turn his head to glance at them, and he couldn't help but groan inwardly.
These militiamen have not received formal training, so it's already good enough that they can hold out here for so long. I just hope the operation can be ended soon without any problems arising from his lack of strength.
Su Tong's feet felt weak and his legs were powerless. He felt exhausted after running not far.
The two people behind were getting closer and closer, and it was impossible to win in a contest of physical strength.
The fire behind him grew brighter and brighter, casting a half-bright and half-dark cast on the surrounding scenery. In front of him lay a large patch of shadowy grass that looked taller than a person.
She shifted her body and tried to hide in the bushes, taking advantage of the darkness so that she could always find a chance to get rid of them.
Unexpectedly, before she had taken a few steps into the bush, an arm stretched out from the side and pulled her over.
Then he strangled her neck, facing her outwards, and a man's voice sounded coldly:
"Don't make a sound! If you make a sound, I'll kill you!"
Su Tong didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the bushes in the middle of the night. She stopped and didn't move, but the two people who were chasing her from behind rushed in regardless.
Shuanzi was running in front and vaguely saw Su Tong hugging a man. He immediately became furious.
"Fuck it! Where did this woman get the courage from! Turns out she has a lover hiding here!"
With that said he rushed forward regardless of anything.
When Wang Laoer, who was following behind, saw Shuanzi rushing forward, he quickly followed suit.
Not willing to be outdone, he grabbed the man's hair and started beating him up.
Poor man, he was a figure that made the underworld tremble with fear. He traveled thousands of miles and escaped the pursuit of countless police officers, and was ranked at the top of the Ministry of Public Security’s wanted list!
Just when he was about to go into the mountains to pursue freedom, he was inexplicably entangled by these ruffians.
He had just heard some cursing outside, and it looked like these people were local villagers who were arguing over some trivial matters that were not worth discussing. Unexpectedly, the woman ran into his hiding place.
Although it would only take a few minutes to deal with them, he was angry because he had been lurking for half the night because he was afraid of being caught by the police, but these people exposed him in this way.
Seeing that he had been hit several times on the head and face, he pushed the woman in front of him away, took out a dagger and was ready to end the matter with both of them.
As soon as he raised his hand, he heard a gunshot and a bullet pierced his arm.
Qin Yi took back the gun and ordered coldly:
"Zhang Kui appears. Team one will arrest him. Team two will search for Ma Liu. We must leave him alive. Pay attention to finding the child. The child's safety comes first."
Ma Daming couldn't hold it in any longer. He rushed out at the command and shouted:
"Li Youshuan! You don't want to live anymore!"
When Shuanzi and Wang Laoer heard the gunshots, they were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.
They usually acted like bullies in the village, and had never seen such a scene.
Hearing Ma Daming's shout, Wang Lao Er felt like the sky was falling, and said in horror:
"Shuan, Shuanzi! It seems our affair has been discovered. Ma Dadan has brought the police to arrest us!"
