Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun turned around to look at Yi Yi, then slowly fixed his gaze on the fifth brother.
Most of the legends surrounding Lao Wu focus on his mystique, while his kung fu and marksmanship are less well-known. However, the lack of legends doesn't mean he's weak; after all, a dog that bites never barks.
"Of course, you can give up if you're scared, but then you'll be the only one left..."
"I'll compete with you."
Only by fighting to the death can there be hope.
"Okay. Don't blame me, this is what the supplier wants."
"Who is your upstream supplier?"
“I can’t say, that’s the rule.” The fifth brother smiled faintly, but it was a smile that was even more eerie than when he had no expression. “Besides, in our line of work, we only care about getting paid and doing the job. As for who our boss is, what their status is, what entanglements they have with their enemies, or what their stories are, we don’t care about any of that.”
Knowing that asking any further would be pointless, Mu Nanxun extended a hand, palm up, and parted his thin lips slightly, "In that case, let's begin."
"No rush, look behind you."
The fifth brother smiled and pointed behind Mu Nanxun.
Mu Nanxun turned his head, his eyes widening instantly, and then angrily roared at Lao Wu, "Let her go!"
It turned out that Lao Wu had somehow managed to send men to flank Mu Nanxun from behind. Several men surrounded Yi Yi and pressed guns against her forehead.
The fifth brother waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry. If it were a one-on-one fight, I definitely couldn't beat you. I don't want to risk my life for a single deal."
Therefore, the so-called competition was just a pretext.
"Do you really think you can leave this place unscathed after hurting her?!"
Mu Nanxun's expression was cold, and he exuded a chilling aura. His dark eyes were frozen, like the coldest winter day.
He was genuinely enraged.
The fifth brother shrugged indifferently and replied, "But with her in my hands, my chances of winning are better, aren't they? Relax, I don't necessarily want to kill her. Now, let's make a choice. This will determine whether you live or she lives."
"What do you mean?"
"Either you ignore her life or death and let these people shoot her to death, and I'll let you go; or you die, and she lives in return," the fifth brother said succinctly.
Yi panicked and frantically looked at Mu Nanxun, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, I don't want you to die. Mumu, you go quickly, let them beat me to death. I just want you to take good care of our daughter and let her grow up healthy..."
Mu Nanxun remained silent, weighing the options to see if there was a way to achieve the best of both worlds. But after much thought, he couldn't find a better solution. He dared not let Yi Yi take any risks.
"Mr. Mu, I don't have much time or patience."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people surrounding Yi Yi rubbed their hands together, their index fingers on the triggers, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
"Don't... let her go." Mu Nanxun looked at the fifth brother and repeated the word carefully, "Let—her—go."
"No, I won't leave, Mumu, don't be so heartless. Guoguo can't be without her father. Fifth Brother, your boss's target has always been me. If you let me go and kill Mu Nanxun, it won't do you any good. Your boss won't let you off the hook, and your colleagues will despise you!"
Yi took a step forward, lifted one of the men's arms, and pointed the gun in his hand at her forehead.
