Chapter 48 Stalemate



Mo Yuan couldn't care less about anything else; Lin Xue was still bound and had suffered a severe shock.

His clothes were somewhat disheveled, with two buttons undone.

He stepped forward to help her untie the knot, and she immediately threw herself into Mo Yuan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

This wasn't the time to talk, so Mo Yuan quickly patted her back.

"Lin Xue, hide inside and don't show your face!"

After saying that, Mo Yuan pushed her to the farthest corner of the cave and went to pick up the homemade gun on the ground.

Although the two bandits inside the cave were subdued, the crisis was not over; the bandit leader outside still had a gun.

Mo Yuan dared not let his guard down, picked up his gun and stared intently at the cave entrance, protecting Lin Xue behind him.

The bandits outside were talking in hushed tones, probably deliberately moving further away to avoid being overheard inside the cave.

Upon hearing the second brother's cry for help from inside the cave, they immediately sensed that something was wrong!

This situation is already foolproof, so how could something go wrong?

Mo Yuan and his companion were both tied up, and two grown men were watching them, each holding a gun. It seemed impossible for them to turn the tables.

But the second brother's panicked cry for help was definitely real, and he couldn't care less about anything else!

"You go back first. Remember, we brothers have taken a huge risk this time, so we definitely can't stay here any longer. Have your brother prepare some money, we're going to hide out of town!"

After saying that, he ignored the person opposite him, picked up his gun, and prepared to return to the cave to investigate!

Mo Yougan, sitting opposite him, looked panicked. He had heard the voice just now and couldn't understand why things always went wrong.

How come Mo Yuan keeps breaking through our seemingly foolproof situation?

Was Mo Yuan really that amazing? Or were those three self-proclaimed outlaws that the second brother hired just too useless?!

He had secretly followed Mo Yuan and the others all the way here, wanting to see Mo Yuan buried alive with his own eyes so that he could vent his anger!

The second brother said he had inquired and found out that Li Jianguo from the county public security bureau was completely unyielding, refusing to listen to reason or pressure, despite countless kind words and pull strings.

All to no avail! They even dared to go against the deputy director, stubbornly clinging to the oil refinery theft case.

This time, his son-in-law, Yang Guozhong, the main culprit, will likely be sentenced to many years, and even his son, Mo Dayong, will likely face similar consequences.

Even as an accomplice, he'll probably have to serve two years in prison!

Fortunately, these two men kept their mouths shut. Knowing that someone outside would definitely help them, they stubbornly refused to reveal their relationship with Mo Youkun.

However, this made Mo Yougan grit his teeth in anger, blaming everything on Mo Yuan!

If it weren't for him, things definitely wouldn't have come to this!

So he was unwilling to give up and insisted on seeing the two of them, but now it seems that he can't have his wish!

"Alright! I'll go first. Don't worry, we've prepared the money for you and made arrangements for your escape route. After it's done, we'll meet at the usual place! I don't care whether the money is taken by one person or split among three, I just want Mo Yuan and those two dead!"

Before leaving, Mo Yougan didn't forget to sow discord, fearing that the bandit leader might hesitate to act out of consideration for brotherhood.

This implies that if he kills Mo Yuan, he can take everything for himself!

After saying that, Mo Yougan ran away in a panic, without caring about anything else.

Although I was somewhat resentful of the other party's incompetence, I dared not show it because of the weapons they had!

The only thing to do is to hurry up and find the second brother to discuss how to end this matter!

Hopefully, this person will live up to his identity as a fugitive and kill Mo Yuan, since he has a gun!

In that case, I wouldn't hesitate to spend money to save two lives!

The gang leader wasn't in the mood to listen to Mo Yougan's hints right now. The situation inside was still unknown, so it was too early to talk about dividing the money!

He had just stepped into the cave entrance with his gun in hand, and was about to peek inside when...

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, nearly blowing the gang leader's head off; the bullet grazed his scalp as it passed right through him.

If he hadn't been careful, and had only been trying to peek out to check the situation, that shot would have killed him!

Even so, the gang leader still felt a stinging pain near his ear. When he touched it, his ear was covered in blood.

If you're even a little off to the side, you'll die on the spot!

Seeing this, without a doubt, it wasn't his two brothers who fired the shot; it was probably Mo Yuan.

The bandits were a little annoyed. Who the hell was the fugitive here?

Why does the other person look even stronger than me?

"Mo Yuan, don't do anything rash! Where are my two brothers? We only wanted money, we didn't mean to hurt you. We admit defeat today, hand over my brothers, and we'll go our separate ways from now on, how about it?"

Mo Yuan didn't reply, staring coldly at the cave entrance. He had indeed lost his temper; he had fired a shot in a fit of rage.

He didn't believe their sophistry. If he hadn't fought back desperately, he and Lin Xue would probably already be prisoners.

That's not all; Lin Xue is also likely to be defiled by this person.

Thinking of this, the anger in my heart could not be calmed for a long time!

He wanted nothing more than to tear the other person to pieces on the spot! But the last shred of reason told him that Lin Xue was behind him, and he had to protect her!

He couldn't let the other party in. If it were a one-on-one fight, Mo Yuan was confident in his skills.

They wouldn't mind a direct confrontation, but Lin Xue is here too; if they let her in...

If it accidentally discharges, it would be bad if Lin Xue were hit. This homemade gun doesn't have much penetrating power, but it can hit a large area at once.

Mo Yuan didn't want to take any risks, so the two sides remained locked in a stalemate.

Mo Yuan can't get out, and the other side can't get in!

Fortunately, Lin Xue has now recovered from her panic and is no longer in need of Mo Yuan's commands.

He tied the two people on the ground up with a rope.

After the fright she had just experienced, Lin Xue finally calmed down.

Mo Yuan knew that he needed to concentrate on confronting the other party. As long as the other party couldn't get in, the two of them would be safe!

To eliminate the potential danger, she tied up the unconscious person on the ground and the person who had been beaten bloody by Mo Yuan!

Mo Yuan caught a glimpse of Lin Xue's actions out of the corner of his eye and secretly admired her.

"Lin Xue, don't be afraid. Many people in the village know about this cave. As long as we stall for time until they find us, we'll be safe!"

At this moment, the bandit outside was clearly not so calm and collected.

His two brothers' fates were unknown, yet Mo Yuan did not respond to him.

I couldn't help but feel irritated.

"Mo Yuan, what happened to my brother? Give me a straight answer! What do you want? Speak up! We admit defeat and will let you go. Now you can leave!"
