"Commander, we have captured all the enemies and are now escorting them to your location," Lei Tao's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Everyone present fell silent upon hearing this.
"What...what did you...do?" Han Wantong's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
Han Ruiming stared intently at Chen Yu, his eyes filled with anger.
Chen Yu chuckled awkwardly and said, "Gentlemen, I think my men have had some misunderstandings with your people. It's alright, I'll explain it to them later."
As he spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted to Lei Tao, "Old Lei, bring the people over first. Remember, make sure they are safe and don't do anything rough with them."
"You really are wolves in sheep's clothing! You actually hid your strength and launched a sneak attack on our people!" Han Wantong shouted angrily. "I hate it! If I had known, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted. I should have listened to our captain and taken control of this unstable element of yours first!"
"Shut up! How dare you talk to my superior like that? Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead!" Lin Lele shouted, poking Han Wantong's head with the muzzle of her gun at the same time.
Han Ruiming was enraged when he saw his sister being humiliated, and he struggled incessantly.
Unfortunately, Yang Haotian pressed his neck down with his leg, locking him tightly, so even though he had a lot of strength, he couldn't use it at all.
"Lele, Xiao Yang, how can you treat our guests like this? They just have some misunderstandings about us, yet you keep saying you want to kill them, making us look like bandits," Chen Yu scolded.
After saying that, he gently patted Lin Lele's shoulder, signaling her to put down the gun, and gently soothed Han Wantong's emotions: "Ms. Han, what Lele said just now was just said in anger, please don't take it too seriously. At the same time, I understand your anger and worry, but please believe that we have no ill intentions. This incident is purely a misunderstanding, and we will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Brother, let go of my brother!" Han Wantong ran towards Han Ruiming.
She tried to push Yang Haotian away, but as a weak woman, she was no match for his strong body. Instead, her actions caused Yang Haotian to instinctively increase the pressure on Han Ruiming, who was so pressed down that his eyes almost rolled back.
Han Wantong was extremely anxious and angrily said to Chen Yu, "You keep saying it's a misunderstanding, so what's going on now?"
“Ms. Han, I think your brother’s emotions are a bit unstable right now. It’s for his own good to keep him under control. You don’t want to see him do something impulsive and get hurt by us, do you?” Chen Yu explained with a smile.
"Little sister, I'm fine, don't be impulsive." Although Han Ruiming was suppressed, his voice was still firm and clear as he tried to soothe his sister's emotions. He was afraid that his sister would anger Chen Yu and his gang and be killed on the spot.
He calmed down at this point. Given the current situation, their resistance was futile and would only worsen the situation.
Since Chen Yu hasn't killed them yet, he must have something in mind, or at least he thinks they still have value to him.
Han Ruiming quickly considered in his mind how to secure the greatest possible survival space for himself and Han Wantong under this unfavorable situation.
Soon, Lei Tao and his convoy arrived at the RV campsite.
"Reporting, Commander! All 13 enemy soldiers have been captured by our side. Please give instructions, Commander!" Lei Tao jogged forward and reported to Chen Yu.
"Let's make peace." Chen Yu nodded slightly. "Have any of our brothers been injured or killed?"
"Reporting to the commander, we did not fire a single shot; they surrendered voluntarily," Lei Tao said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu patted Lei Tao on the shoulder and praised, "Not bad."
However, he suddenly changed the subject and shouted in a deep voice, "Who gave you permission to act without authorization? Do you know their specific background? Do you know if they have any support?"
Lei Tao's expression changed, and he quickly explained, "Commander, I received news of reinforcements earlier, and I was afraid something might happen to you, so I... Commander, I acted without authorization, please forgive me...!"
"Alright." Chen Yu waved his hand, interrupting Lei Tao's further self-blame. "Since it has already happened, we must learn from it and handle the aftermath properly."
“But acting without authorization is still a violation of discipline. This time, I’m giving you a chance as a warning. But remember, this is the first and the last time. From now on, no matter what happens, you must ask me for permission first, understand?” Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Commander, I understand!" Lei Tao replied firmly, his face full of regret and determination.
He was well aware of the potential dangers this unauthorized action posed to the team, as well as the serious attitude of team leader Chen Yu towards the matter.
In fact, after Han Wantong revealed that Wenhan City was also within the sphere of influence of the "Frost Alliance," Chen Yu already knew that an inevitable confrontation between him and the "Frost Alliance" was destined.
However, Lei Tao and his group acted on their own and disrupted his plans, so it was necessary to warn them. Otherwise, how could he lead the team in the future?
After a moment's thought, Chen Yu instructed Lei Tao, "Bring them down."
Lei Tao accepted the order and immediately directed his men to remove the prisoners from the vehicle.
"Captain!" Han Wantong's eyes instantly welled up with tears when she saw several familiar figures among the group being escorted down. Those were her teammates who had fought alongside her, now prisoners of war, helpless and wretched.
"Little sister, calm down." Although Han Ruiming was also suppressed, he tried his best to calm his sister down when he saw her so agitated. "Now is not the time to be impulsive. This group is too strong. We can only wait and see."
Guided by Lei Tao, Chen Yu arrived in front of a captured member of the "Frost Alliance." Based on the brief interrogation conducted by Lei Tao and the others, this was the captain of the "Frost Legion" squad.
"Raise your head," Chen Yu commanded, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
The captain trembled as he raised his head, his eyes filled with terror and resentment, but given the overwhelming disparity in strength, he had no choice but to obey.
"What's your name?" Chen Yu asked again, his voice deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the heart.
"I...I'm Zhao Lei," Captain Zhao Lei answered with difficulty, his voice trembling.
"Hehe, you were the one shouting through the megaphone earlier, weren't you?" Chen Yu laughed.
"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded.
"Captain Zhao, don't be so nervous. If I said it was all a misunderstanding, would you believe me?" Chen Yu gently patted Zhao Lei's shoulder and asked softly.
However, Zhao Lei responded with silence.
Clearly, Zhao Lei did not believe Chen Yu's "nonsense".
