"I know you two are hiding in the back. I'm giving you a chance. Come out obediently, or I'll shoot you dead."
Li Qiming gave me a wink, but I didn't understand what he meant.
"Come out!" someone outside roared.
"Okay, okay, we'll come out, we'll come out! Don't shoot!" Li Qiming stepped forward decisively, raised his hands, and stood at the back door facing the other party.
"And the other person?" the other person asked.
Li Qiming looked down and gave me a wink, signaling me to leave.
I had no choice but to stand up.
The two men outside pushed the door open and entered, their guns still pointed at us.
We both stepped back.
"Throw away what you're holding!" the man in camouflage shouted angrily.
Li Qiming was the first to throw away the iron bar in his hand, and I had no choice but to put my axe on the ground.
"What are you two doing here?" the man in camouflage asked.
Li Qiming glanced at me and said, "We came here to find something to eat. Isn't this... a supermarket?"
The man in camouflage seemed unconvinced and continued, "What did you do before?"
Li Qiming said, "I'm in the wholesale business, and he's a doctor."
The man in camouflage turned his gaze to me and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
“Yes, I’m a doctor.” I nodded, staring at the two men, a suspicion forming in my mind.
The man in camouflage glanced at us a few times, his eyes filled with suspicion, and asked, "Are you two from inside?"
Li Qiming and I were both stunned.
Li Qiming asked in surprise, "Inside? What inside?"
The man in camouflage sneered, pressing the muzzle of his gun directly against Li Qiming's head, and roared, "Speak! What exactly are you two doing here! If you don't tell the truth, I'll shoot you dead!"
Li Qiming was instantly terrified by the other party's words. He swallowed hard and immediately said, "I'll talk, I'll talk. We're here to find someone. Yesterday, a friend of mine was arrested here by two soldiers in camouflage uniforms. So, we came here today to see if we could find any clues..."
Ultimately, Li Qiming was just an ordinary person. It was impossible for him not to be terrified when faced with a soldier threatening him with a gun.
When Yan Zhengfeng pointed a gun at me, I was terrified and even contemplated suicide.
The man in camouflage didn't lower his gun, but continued angrily, "And what else!"
Li Qiming's eyes darted around nervously. "No, no, we just came to find someone. We didn't have any other purpose."
After hearing this, the man in camouflage put down his gun, and Li Qiming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
I rubbed my palms together; they were covered in cold sweat.
The camouflage-clad men didn't threaten us this time, clearly believing us.
He exchanged a glance with the person next to him and asked, "So, you two are also here to find someone?"
