But the elder was no fool. These two had already given him a hint, but he still didn't understand. There must be something mysterious going on. Perhaps these two were Ah Ci's men, and they had some powerful abilities!
The elder nodded and said pretentiously: "We are all old and have to protect the younger generation!"
Lu Ran nodded and said nothing. Although he had spent a long time learning how to speak like a woman, he tried not to say anything if possible to avoid being exposed.
Several people came to the front of the team together, stood a few steps away from the leading man, and blocked the way for the villagers.
"Protecting them?" The leading man sneered, "Don't waste your time with me. Tell me, where is the secret passage?"
He wanted to see which secret passage that bastard Lu Ran was hiding in. He didn't believe he couldn't find him. Using this secret passage, he could catch him and catch him by surprise, which would be perfect.
"Don't waste my time. I'm not in the mood to play with you."
The man looked ferocious, and the surrounding gangsters couldn't help but move their dangerous devices at the sound of his voice. The people surrounded by him couldn't help but flinch, huddling together in fear. There were also many women who were not afraid, glaring at the leading man fiercely. But they dared not speak out, after all, they had children around, and they couldn't afford to anger this cruel man.
The elder calmed his temper and negotiated with the other party: "I can tell you where the secret passage is, but you must let these people in the village leave. I can stay."
"Everyone get out?" The leading man sneered, "Are you dreaming?"
How could they bring in that short-lived Lu Ran now that everyone else was gone? That guy was obsessed with appearances and loved showing off. Why did he and Wei Xiaoxiao go through all this trouble? Wasn't it just to get Lu Ran in? Wouldn't it be foolish to let everyone else out at this moment?
The elder was almost furious, but in order to continue the conversation, he continued, "If the rest of us don't leave, the women and children can at least go, right?"
He has already given in. No matter what, these children must be saved. They are still young and innocent.
"Leave?" The leading man sneered, "What are you dreaming about? I tell you, no one can leave. Every one of you stay here!"
"You..." The elder was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, "You are trying to get the skin of a tiger. I shouldn't have fallen for your tricks in the first place. I shouldn't have let you into the village!"
But it was because of his own problems, plus the child's problems, that they had to compromise. But now, everything is lost, everything is lost. If he had known that Xiao Yatou would use his problems as a threat, he should have firmly refused, chased them away, and not given them the chance to take the child away!
It was because of his hesitation and lack of vigilance that he gave these people the opportunity. He regretted it now. One wrong step led to another!
"Regret it? Too late!" The leading man laughed, even taking a step forward arrogantly, looking down at the people in front of him. He turned around and ordered, "Take your men in and search every place thoroughly!"
After receiving the order, a group of gangsters immediately rushed in and went to look for the secret passage.
Even with so many people entering, the elder wasn't worried at all. If his secret passage in the darkroom was so easy to discover, it would have been discovered long ago.
It is precisely because it is done so cleverly and difficult to detect that it has existed for so many years without anyone noticing.
Seeing that the elder didn't seem worried at all, the leading man obviously guessed what was going on and sneered.
