Chapter 199: A Smell of Gunfire emanated from her.
Wu Cong specifically instructed Han Yu to keep an eye on Fang Yefan, and they continued to advance into the mountains with grim faces.
The pockmarked man who had just fired was horrified as he watched the bullet fly through the air toward the woman, but instead struck the scarred man's body.
Scarface was jolted awake from his unconsciousness by the pain. Seeing that it was Pockmarked Face who had fired the shot, he was filled with shock and anger, shouting, "Second Brother!"
"No...no, I meant to..."
He fired at the woman, but she reacted so quickly that she released the rope, causing the scarred man to fall from the sky and form a human wall, taking the bullet for her.
Oh shit!
He was about to explain further when a sudden, powerful whip kick came flying through the air, knocking the weapon out of his hand and fracturing his hand in the process.
Scarface clutched his right chest and fell to the ground. Fang Ke then appeared ghost-like behind Pockmarked Man, a boning knife held across the man's neck.
"...Good sir, I...I've lost...If you're still willing to spare my life, I really will tell you where I hid the gold bars...If you don't believe me, take my phone, it's in my pocket..."
Fang Ke sneered, "Killing you wouldn't stop me from getting your phone, would it?"
"No! Don't kill me! I... I'm still useful... Yes, aren't the police looking for those missing women from Jiajia Village? I know where they are... I sold them with Brother Jia... If the police don't rescue them quickly, they might be tortured to death..."
Fang Ke was now truly filled with murderous intent. She coldly stared at the man who was still trembling like a dead fish, and wanted to shoot him dead.
"Host, calm down!"
Fang Ke slashed open the man's pants with a knife, and the phone fell out. She caught it and started recording.
“Now, tell me all the crimes you’ve committed, the people you’ve killed, and all the evil deeds you’ve done. Speak slowly, and when you’re done, tell me about your two brothers as well. Once you stop talking, I’ll send you on your way.”
After Fang finished speaking, he tied him to a tree with a hemp rope. The pockmarked man cried out in agony, so scared that he wet himself, but he could only endure the humiliation and began to recount one major case after another that he had committed over the past ten years.
He recounted the cases as he went, mentioning several major cases for which he was wanted nationwide. He even forgot about the danger and became excited, as if he were reminiscing about his glorious past.
Little B felt disgusted. "Hell is empty, all the devils are here. It's too good for this kind of person to die. He's a beast."
Fang Ke said, "Don't just stand there, copy all the data from their phones."
Little B quickly said, "It's already being copied. I'm so disgusted, there are so many disgusting pornographic pictures."
Fang Ke waited until the other person was so cold that they lost consciousness, started hallucinating, and began to laugh foolishly and talk nonsense before cleaning up the battlefield and leaving. Before leaving, she played the pockmarked man's self-reproaching edict on repeat, which echoed through the snowy forest.
As soon as the armed police go up the mountain, they will be able to spot the three people immediately.
After leaving the snow forest, Fang Ke went straight down the mountain along the main road. A few minutes later, he met Fang Yefan and his group who were going up the mountain.
"...Would that be acceptable?"
Fang Yefan stood at a distance, his eyes wide, staring in disbelief as she stood perfectly intact in the same spot.
"...Is it you?" He was so afraid it was his imagination.
Fang Ke removed her mask and sunglasses, revealing a delicate face that was red from the cold.
She frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you only arriving now? Didn't you say we'd be filming at four? It's already past five. I thought I'd been tricked and was just about to go back."
Before she could say anything more, Fang Yefan stepped forward and hugged her tightly. After a long while, she could feel him crying, his warm, moist breath brushing against her cheek. "...Huh?"
The next second, Wu Cong rushed up and hugged the two of them tightly. "Mom, I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright. I thought... if something happened to you, I really wouldn't want to live anymore!"
He started crying as he spoke...
Fang Ke: "??"
Are you really acting, or are you just putting on an act?
[Fang Yefan felt a surge of affection, his love for you reaching its peak, and his favorability rating increased by 100. Currently at the critical point of 0, congratulations, host! Please continue your efforts to break through to the next positive value!]
Fang Ke found it amusing that the message was actually sent by the main system itself.
She still remembers that her task at this stage was to raise the affection level of the three male leads to a positive value and complete the hidden routes of the two male leads in order to be considered complete.
It seems the main system is also impatient, waiting for her to unleash her full power in one go.
Fang Ke patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Okay, let go of me now, OK?"
Wu Cong sniffled and wiped his nose, while Fang Yefan immediately turned away and wiped the corner of his eye with his hand.
Then she turned around and said fiercely, "You usually seem pretty smart, how come you believe everything people say? Couldn't you have checked the notice with us first? This mountain is full of dangers, what if something happens to you?"
Fang Ke looked surprised and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Second Brother, are you so worried about me?"
Fang Yefan was taken aback, then his heart skipped a beat. How long had it been since Fang Ke had called him "Second Brother"?
This time, it was Little B who reported first, "Fang Yefan's favorability +10, Host! Fang Yefan's favorability is 10, breaking zero and returning to positive!!"
At the same time, a cluster of golden fireworks appeared before Fang Ke's eyes and exploded in the air.
Soon a task progress bar appeared, showing 2/3.
She looked at Fang Yefan with a smile.
Although Fang Yefan was happy, his expression remained serious.
"You fucking... grinning like an idiot, can't you give me a break? Let's go, let's go down the mountain first."
The group finally relaxed, their expressions completely reversed from their worried and tense demeanor when they went up the mountain; now they were all laughing and joking.
Han Yu also moved closer to Fang Ke, "Miss Fang, it's so good that you're alright. You don't know that three fugitives ran up the mountain today. Everyone was frantic when they found out, afraid that you would run into them, especially your brother. He insisted on going up the mountain to find you. He's always been very good to you."
Fang Yefan said awkwardly, "Don't overthink it. We're all family members. Didn't you rush into the fire to save me last time?"
Fang Ke nodded. "I know. What do you mean by 'overthinking'?"
Fang Yefan: "..."
Fang Yefan fell into deep thought, and the others gathered around.
"Sister Fang, you're so lucky! Did you run into those three fugitives?"
"Are you crazy? If Sister Fang had run into you, would she still be standing here unharmed?"
"Too……"
Fang Keye also said, "I don't know. Are there really any fugitives? I haven't seen anyone."
Wu Cong analyzed, "I guess they took a side road. You waited for us on the main road, so you didn't run into them. It's good that you didn't. Everyone should remember to take the main road in the future!"
"What was that gunshot just now?"
"Who knows..."
A group of people were chatting as they walked down the mountain when they soon encountered a team of armed police officers in uniform and well-equipped gear coming up the mountain.
Leading the way was the village chief from a nearby village, who served as a guide up the mountain.
Upon seeing Wu Cong and the others, they quickly went up to greet them, "Didn't I tell you not to go up the mountain? Why did you still go up the mountain?"
Wu Cong had already prepared an excuse. He quickly offered the village chief a cigarette and complained, "We weren't originally going to come up, but some idiot left the camera on the mountain. It contains all the footage we shot, which is more important than your life, so we had to come up to get it. But don't worry, we only searched the outer perimeter and found it. We're coming down the mountain now and will definitely not cause any trouble for the People's Liberation Army."
I must say, these soldiers are all tall and strong, and they are armed to the teeth, which makes me feel very safe.
Wu Cong immediately saluted the person.
village head:"……"
The captain, who was leading the group, walked over. Underneath his mask, only a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes were visible.
"What happened?" the man asked in a deep voice.
The village chief quickly explained to him.
The man frowned and said, "Get down the mountain quickly. These three criminals have all taken lives. Their ruthlessness is extraordinary and not something to be taken lightly."
Wu Cong quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. We'll be going down the mountain right away. You've worked hard. With you protecting us, we can film with peace of mind."
The captain completely ignored his flattery, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces. Finding no one suspicious, he waved his hand, intending to dismiss them.
But when the only woman among them brushed past him, the man suddenly paused.
His nose was very sensitive; he seemed to detect a hint of gunpowder on the woman…
But the team leader hesitated for only a moment before leading his team into the mountains.
Time was of the essence, and besides, those three fugitives were all men, how could they suddenly turn into a beautiful woman?
