"Is this your brother?" The man looked at Situ Yao for a long time, and always felt that his temperament was not like that of someone who would choose to be a gangster.
"Why isn't he talking?"
"He's mute and has been disliked since he was a child," Su Mengyan pinched herself hard, forcing tears to flow. "If it weren't for this reason, we wouldn't be unable to find a decent job."
"Alright, alright, stop crying," the man said impatiently when he saw Su Mengyan, a grown man, crying. "What's wrong with being a gangster? You're free, and with the second-in-command around, you have endless money to spend. It's much better than working yourself to death outside."
"Second in command?" Su Mengyan asked subconsciously. Don't most people refer to the eldest in command? Why is it different when it comes to Luohe Mountain?
"Didn't the person who brought you here tell you about the Second In Command's power?" The man admired the legendary Second In Command very much. "The whole Luohe Mountain listens to him. Even the First In Command is sometimes afraid of him."
"Don't underestimate the Second In Command's frail appearance. He's actually quite skilled in martial arts. He went up the mountain alone and killed many of our brothers. Later, the First In Command used many tricks and finally got him to stay. Since then, Luohe Mountain has become increasingly prosperous." The man was practically praising the Second In Command to the skies. Su Mengyan was confused, thinking, "Isn't he just a bandit leader? Is he really that powerful?"
If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have to be a gangster.
"If you see the second in command in the village in the future, remember not to offend him, because when he kills someone, he will not give you a chance to explain. Often, the person is dead before you even know it." The man really treated them as newcomers and even told them the taboos of Luohe Mountain.
"By the way, this is for the boss. You go and give it to him. It will give you a chance to show up in front of the boss." The man handed a box to Su Mengyan and left.
The two men were not in a hurry to deliver the box because they didn't know where the boss lived, so they simply found an inconspicuous corner nearby and squatted there.
"Miss Cui mentioned before that there is a master in Luohe Mountain. Is he the second in command he mentioned?" Su Mengyan guessed. A weak scholar with great martial arts skills, who killed people like crazy and made everyone afraid of him. She could not imagine what kind of person he was.
Situ Yao thought for a moment, "That should be it. Luohe Mountain is under his control. It would be best if we can capture him. If not, we will capture the boss later."
"I'll go ask where the boss is. Sir, remember not to speak." Su Mengyan warned him carefully. He had just told others that he was mute to gain sympathy, so he must not let the secret slip.
Situ Yao glanced at her coldly without saying anything.
Su Mengyan smiled ingratiatingly, "The situation was urgent at the time. If I hadn't said that, he would have become suspicious. So don't be angry, sir. I also wanted to catch the bandit leader smoothly."
"Hurry up and do it." Situ Yao urged her.
Su Mengyan walked away with the box in her hand, smiling. She pretended to be a newcomer again and found out the boss's address.
Because government officials were spotted at the foot of the mountain, everyone was in a hurry and no one suspected the two of them.
Su Mengyan and the others found the boss easily. She went in holding the box and said, "Boss, this is yours."
Su Mengyan felt her hand loosen as the box was taken away. The bearded boss stared at her face for a moment and asked warily, "Who are you?"
"I'm new here and haven't met the boss yet." Su Mengyan appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually very scared in her heart.
"There are no newcomers on the mountain recently." The boss was indeed not easy to deceive. She directly picked up Su Mengyan and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who sent you?" The big boss pulled out his knife. "If you don't tell me, I will kill you right now."
When the big knife in his hand was only one foot away from Su Mengyan, it was suddenly knocked down by someone.
Situ Yao protected Su Mengyan behind him and started fighting with the boss.
He looked strong, but his martial arts skills were not very high, and he was subdued in a short while.
Situ Yao did not kill him, but just pointed the knife at his neck. At this time, the people outside also heard the noise and rushed over.
Before they arrived, Su Mengyan released a signal flare and the people guarding outside the village took action immediately.
"Let the boss go." Everyone held a weapon in their hands, but did not dare to take action.
Situ Yao stood proudly, sweeping his gaze over all the bandits. "If you give up resistance, perhaps you can still spare his life."
"Who are you?" the boss roared, his voice like thunder, and Su Mengyan couldn't help but want to cover her ears.
"Those officials, the boss must have seen it too." Situ Yao did not hide it from him. "You have been causing trouble here for many years. You don't really think the government can do anything to you, do you?"
"The governor of Heyang City is a loser. He has brought his troops here several times, but he hasn't been able to do anything to our brothers. Does he think he can do it this time? Stop dreaming!" The boss was still being stubborn at this time. The main reason was that he hadn't seen Lin Huaian yet, and he felt that there must be a chance to escape.
Situ Yao sneered disdainfully, "In the past, someone tipped you off, but what about this time?"
"If you want to live, get out of here on your own initiative, otherwise you will die!" Situ Yao was not going to be polite with them. The sharp dagger in his hand pierced into the boss's flesh, and bright red blood flowed out in an instant.
"I was wondering why those idiots dared to go up the mountain this time. Turns out they had help." A man came walking on the wind, holding something in his hand.
Lin Huaian pushed Cui Mixue to the front, "Sir, I believe you recognize this girl, right?"
"Why is she here with you?" When he appeared, Su Mengyan and the others guessed that this person must be the second in command of Luo Heshan.
But wasn't Cui Mixue with Qingfeng? How did she get caught?
Lin Huaian saw their nervousness and smiled nonchalantly, "It seems that I didn't catch the wrong person. This girl is very important to you." He did not reveal Situ Yao's identity.
Cui Mixue woke up just as the Second In Command was on edge. When she opened her eyes, she saw Situ Yao standing opposite her. With red eyes, she begged for help, "Sir, save me."
"Second in command, you said something wrong. You really caught the wrong person. She is just an insignificant woman. Do you really think that if you catch her, you will let me release everyone in Luohe Mountain?" Situ Yao didn't even blink. He didn't care about Cui Mixue's life at all.
Lin Huaian firmly grasped Cui Mixue's chin and said, "Beauty, it seems your lover is unwilling to save you."
