His words completely panicked the henchmen behind the second-in-command. There were so many people on the other side; they had absolutely no chance of winning! Once the hostages were no longer useful, their deaths would be imminent!
Xiao Che and his team watched as the chaos ensued, while simultaneously glancing at the men he had just arranged. Taking advantage of Xiao Che's distraction, two of them had slipped in amidst the confusion.
Xiao Che watched this scene calmly, continuing to count "two..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side couldn't take the pressure anymore and shouted, "I surrender! Let me through! I can't take it anymore!"
As he spoke, he dragged the woman he was holding towards him.
The second-in-command wanted to raise his gun and shoot him. He could just abandon those five men, but these guys were skilled fighters. He needed them to escape. How could he let him make that mistake?
But after what happened before, everyone present was already prepared.
Those who wanted to leave, in particular, were already on guard against him shooting at their own people again.
He quickly raised his gun, aimed it at the second-in-command, his eyes fierce, and shouted, "Second Brother! If you dare to shoot, I'll take you down with me even if I die!"
The second-in-command missed the best opportunity and could only glare at him, yelling, "You old swindler, you bastard!"
The conman's face was pale, and his smile was incredibly ugly. "I don't want to die! He really won't compromise, he's not joking!"
He too had blood on his hands, and the look in the eyes of the leader opposite him made him realize that if he didn't do as he was told, he would surely die! They didn't care about the hostages at all!
Once one person takes the lead, there will be a second, and a third!
The two men Xiao Che had sent in to protect them and prevent the second-in-command from killing them again were the ones who had infiltrated the group. The two men held guns to the second-in-command's head, rendering him immobile.
The second-in-command watched this scene, his heart filled with unbearable sorrow. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to lose his freedom...
After the people behind him brought the hostages to Xiao Che's side, they were all tied up and dragged out in the same way. The hostages were also taken away.
Once they emerged from the cave, the women finally broke down and wept uncontrollably.
I thought I was going to die today, but I never expected to be alive!
Hearing the commotion outside, everyone in the team had mixed feelings, except for the second-in-command and his hostage.
The woman was both frightened and unwilling; her whole body was stiff and her teeth were chattering.
Why were they all saved, while her fate remained uncertain? Although she had witnessed everything and understood Xiao Che's intentions—that only by appearing indifferent to the hostages could they ensure their safety and maintain control—she had figured out the logic. Therefore, she remained silent afterward.
But she didn't want to die! She mustered her courage and was about to risk revealing her identity and ordering them to save her.
Just then, she heard a "bang" in her ear, and then felt the force pulling her loosen. She stiffly turned her head and saw that the second-in-command, who had been holding her tightly, had a bloody hole on his forehead, from which blood was gushing out, and he fell down with a ferocious expression.
She sluggishly turned her head to look at the other side and saw that Xiao Che had just put down his gun, and smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.
She suddenly understood; it was this person she both respected, feared, and admired who had saved her...
She opened her mouth, wanting to say thank you, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.
Xiao Che ignored her, ordered his men to dispose of the body and the stolen money, and took the hostages back. He then left the cave to make other arrangements.
The woman watched his retreating figure, her eyes filled with infatuation. A sudden impulse surged within her; she wanted this man! Such an outstanding man should be hers!
After figuring out her own thoughts, she declined the help of others and quickly caught up with Xiao Che's retreating figure.
