Chapter 10 The Tenth Knife
If possible, He Puting would ask Su Linlang to delete this shameful memory forever.
He was about 1.80 meters tall and curled up in a narrow freezer, with his hands and feet tied behind his back and his mouth covered with thick yellow tape. The hair on the left side of his forehead was shaved like a dog's and stuck to the gauze. Blood flowed down his temples and filled his neck.
With the naked eye, one can see that there is a dent on the side of his skull. Apparently, he was shot in the brain and the shrapnel should still be lodged in the skull.
Unfortunately, he was born when the He family was at its peak. He lived a wealthy life for more than 20 years, was gentle, kind and friendly to others. He never expected that he would end up like this.
He should be in a deep coma.
But he was awake and was shaking the freezer hard, which attracted Su Linlang's attention. She gave up going upstairs and gave him and herself a chance of survival.
Just as she lifted the lid of the freezer, he howled in his throat and pushed hard.
It turned out that his hands and feet were tied behind his back with a cabinet board above his head.
There was a wound on his head, and he broke the wound, so his face was covered with blood.
Sensing the light, he tried hard to concentrate his scattered consciousness and try to see who was coming.
The saber was dripping with blood, the gun barrel was smoking, bullets were flying, chickens were clucking, dogs were barking, and Su Linlang shouted, "He Puting?"
He was looking, but his eyes were full of blood and his gaze was dull.
After thinking about the name he taught her to call him, Su Linlang shouted, "Brother Pu Ting?"
This title is familiar. When the man heard it, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at her with bloodshot eyes. Then he exerted force on his whole body and his throat arched upward with a gurgling sound.
Hearing the wind by her ear, Su Linlang covered the board, turned back with a knife, and accurately cut off an AK.
The cover slammed back, hopefully not hitting Heputing's head, otherwise his brain injury would only be more serious.
Amid the howling of the bandit who had lost his hand, Ah Shuai and Huang Mao also led the hostages back into the house, shouting in unison: "Auntie, how do we get out now?"
Su Linlang picked up the gun and yelled at the kidnapper whose hand was broken: "Are you fucking stupid? Why don't you go to the hospital and get bandaged?"
Looking at the twitching fingers on the ground, the kidnapper was screaming, the sound was as miserable as if he was slaughtering a pig.
Huangmao and A'Shuai understood that if a hand was broken, it could still be used after being reattached in the hospital, but if it was delayed any longer the hand would become useless.
The people in the gang were all Ah Shuai and Huang Mao's friends. Ah Shuai yelled at the kidnapper who was missing a hand: "How could you be so stupid? Hurry up and pick up your hands and go to the hospital to take over!"
Su Linlang took advantage of this opportunity to pull over Ah Rong, the second in command of the gang, and kicked the AK that she had chopped off with her hands, and yelled at the yellow-haired man: "Hurry up, pick up the gun!"
The yellow-haired man rushed over, shook off the bloody severed hand on the AK and picked it up.
Su Linlang pointed a knife at Ah Rong and yelled, "The hostages are in the freezer. Are you two stupid? Why don't you rescue them?"
Huangmao and Ashuai opened the freezer at the same time, but just as they were about to help, they heard a volley of bullets like a fire snake, and another AK suddenly stretched out from the rear window.
Fortunately, they had the refrigerator cover as protection, otherwise they would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.
Ah Shuai and Huang Mao were so scared that they both retracted their hands and squatted on the ground, but poor He Puting was hit on the head by the freezer lid again.
Su Linlang had already discovered that the back window was a shooting point. Sure enough, when the bandits came, she had Brother Rong as a hostage, so she was not afraid of the bandits shooting her. She dragged Brother Rong to the side and slashed at the window with a knife. The AK that stretched in from the window was also connected with the hand, and was accurately cut off by her.
She angrily scolded Ah Shuai and Huang Mao: "The hostage is a patient, you two better be careful!"
As the kidnapper wailed like a slaughtered pig, she pulled the AK from the window in, held Ah Rong at bay with one hand, and fired with the AK with the other, then yelled, "Get the guy out! Let's go!"
Ah Shuai and Huang Mao opened the freezer, pulled He Puting out, and rushed out under Su Linlang's crazy fire suppression.
…
All the chickens in the chicken farm were woken up, the roosters crowed and the hens screamed, and there were also the heart-wrenching howls of a few kidnappers. The yard was filled with gunpowder and blood.
The most important weapon of the kidnappers is AK, but now all three AKs are in Su Linlang's hands.
A group of kidnappers hid in various places, and finally all of them hid.
They hid upstairs, behind windows, and quietly looked into the yard.
In the yard, the woman who came to rescue the hostages was a woman of not very tall. She was standing in the middle of the yard with an AK in one hand and a knife in the other.
She looked around and all the kidnappers drew their heads back in an instant.
Who is she and what business does she have?
Is she the sister-in-law of some gang, or is it that there is a female boss in some gang?
One of the kidnappers finally found the mobile phone and cried softly while holding it: "Brother Qiang, Brother Rong and the hostage have been kidnapped. They were taken away by a woman!"
…
Let's not talk about what the gang leader A Qiangge would do when he heard that his hostage was robbed. Let's go back to Su Linlang. In one hand, she was the second in command of the gang, and in the other hand, she was the hostage. She hurried her two soldiers onto the truck. Liu Bo started the truck, and the truck drove away happily with a group of people on it.
Only the rooster, who had mistakenly thought it was daybreak, and the yard-guarding dog were left, crowing and barking at the top of their lungs.
Of course, it is impossible for the gang to let go of the hostages worth 1.6 billion.
Someone at the guard post had already called via intercom and was already on guard with guns at the ready.
Brother Qiang at the foot of the mountain was also frantically gathering people and rushing back.
The big roundup is officially underway
…
The small truck loaded with people was so tired that smoke was coming out of its butt. Ah Shuai and Huang Mao were on guard along the road, one holding an AK forward and the other holding an AK backward.
As soon as Su Linlang reached out her hand and touched it, He Pu straightened his body and let out a mournful cry like that of a wild beast.
It was too dark to see clearly, so she reached out to touch and found that the rope on He Puting's wrist was deeply cut into the flesh, and it was a knot that could not be untied at all.
She gently cut the rope with a knife, but still had to pull it.
Because the blood and flesh had stuck to the hand and the rope, it was impossible to peel them off.
The same thing happened to his feet. The water-soaked hemp rope used by the kidnappers had cut into his flesh so hard, and he had struggled so hard, that it had become one with his flesh. It took a lot of effort to cut it apart at the wrist and peel it off.
Su Linlang touched his forehead. Fortunately, He Puting was in good health and did not have a fever.
It's a miracle that the shrapnel card head is still alive.
Think about it again, if she hadn't rescued him, he would have been able to escape from the bandits' lair after suffering for half a month, which shows how strong his character is.
After groping for a while, he suddenly grabbed Su Linlang's hand and moistened it with his thin lips.
A pampered young man, he knows how to fence, ski and shoot, but he only does it on the training ground.
This was the first time he witnessed the cruelty of the real world, and he held on to her as a lifeline while unconscious.
"Don't be afraid, brother Pu Ting, go to sleep, we are safe now." Su Linlang coaxed him softly.
The bloody hand tightly grasped her hand, causing her pain.
While comforting Mr. He who was in a coma but still emotional, Su Linlang raised her head and looked at Brother Arong.
He quickly took off his clothes and gently covered He Puting with them, not forgetting to wrap a pillow with rain cloth for him.
As expected of the second-in-command of the gang, he is smart and has good foresight.
The roles are reversed. Now he becomes a hostage. Even a smart second-in-command has to perform actively to save himself.
After all, there were two AKs at the guard post. As Brother Qiang already knew that the hostages had escaped, compared with the 1.6 billion in ransom, Brother Rong was undoubtedly listed in the kill-or-leave-me column. If he didn't want to be shot into a sieve, he had to save himself.
The gate was getting closer and closer, and the guards had already taken aim. Su Linlang finally managed to break free from He Puting's tightly grasped hand, and Brother Rong also had a foolproof plan.
But just as he was about to open his mouth, Su Linlang knocked on the car window: "Brake!"
The driver has changed to Liu Bo. Since he was the passenger when we came here, he is very familiar with the road.
But also because he was familiar with it, he was extremely afraid. The pursuers were about to arrive and were about to enter the shooting range. He slammed the brakes, feeling extremely nervous.
There was no movement for a long time, and he could not help but turn around and call out, "Madam, Madam..."
The truck had a rear window. In the dawn light, he saw in the trunk: A-Rong had a deathly look on his face, while A-Shuai was facing forward and Huang-Mao was facing backward, holding their AKs without saying a word.
But he searched high and low and couldn't find the young lady.
Yes, in the blink of an eye Su Linlang was no longer in the carriage. Where did she go?
It didn't take long before we heard gunshots from the other side. Ah Shuai and Huang Mao fired at the same time, causing the small truck to bounce on the spot.
Liu Bo did what he promised. He held the rear compartment with his arms outstretched, crying and shouting, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please show your power. Wong Tai Sin, please come and save my eldest son!"
He vaguely heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes amid the sound of gunfire and saw a slender and pretty female figure walking out of the smoke.
Liu Bo was greatly surprised, thinking, could it be that the Bodhisattva Guanyin appeared and came to save my young master?
Look again, and be surprised again, because it is Su Linlang, holding a bloody knife in one hand and two AKs in the other.
"Didn't you hear me shouting? Are you deaf?" Su Linlang shouted, "Liu Bo and Brother Rong, help Young Master He get out of the car, quickly!"
Ah Shuai and Huang Mao were still firing bullets, and they shouted in unison, "Auntie, where are we?"
Su Linlang threw an AK to Liu Bo, took out the cash box and threw it away, shouting, "Get out, divide the money among yourselves!"
The gunfire suddenly stopped, and Ah Shuai and Huang Mao looked at each other.
So they can leave now?
The money was really given, the people were really released, and each of them was given an AK, allowing them to escape based on their own strength.
It turned out that the He family's sister-in-law was from a gang. She was so righteous that they couldn't believe it.
The two were stunned for a moment, then gunshots were heard from behind, and the two began shooting again.
Liu Bo and A Rong had already helped He Puting down from the truck and stood on the side of the road. Su Linlang opened the driver's door, and somehow the truck started to move. The empty truck, with no one driving, swayed and drove along the road.
She yelled, "Jump!"
Ah Shuai was very obedient. He jumped out of the car and rushed into the jungle.
Huang Mao was a young man with a foolish look on his face. He held his gun and yelled, "Auntie, let me go down the mountain with you, Auntie!"
"Get out!" Su Linlang said, and supported He Puting, who was lying on the side of the road, and went into the bushes.
Huangmao looked back reluctantly, not wanting to leave, but the temptation of money was greater, so he followed Ah Shuai and left.
…
Liu Bo is not as smart as Brother Arong, and he needs Su Linlang's help to know where to hide.
All this happened in a very short period of time, thanks to Su Linlang's neatness and good coordination, and it was completed in one go.
There were kidnappers chasing us from behind. They were suppressed by A Shuai's firepower just now, and there were guards at the intersection, so they hid and did not dare to show their heads. Now they heard that the firepower had stopped and the car had run away, so they immediately caught up.
Car after car, filled with kidnappers, sped past.
Su Linlang pointed a gun at Brother Rong from the bushes. Brother Rong quickly carried Young Master He on his back and looked at a car passing by. He did not forget to give Su Linlang a thumbs up.
It was not until this moment that Liu Bo realized that Su Linlang had already jumped out of the car before his car had even stopped and quietly went to kill the guard on duty at the intersection.
Because she had a pickup truck as her target, her sneaking was not noticed, and then she stabbed them one by one from behind.
Now, the kidnappers who were tracking them were attracted by the empty car and went to chase them, and they just managed to evade capture.
What a great trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, what a brilliant move!
But it’s not enough. Brother Qiang is hurrying back. This is deep in the mountains. Can they escape just by walking?
Liu Bo was so scared that he and the young master would die in this deep mountain and dense forest.
Just then another car came, and
He drove very slowly, obviously searching for something.
As the saying goes, a bad soldier will always be a bad general. After being led by Su Linlang to kill people everywhere, Liu Bo, a bad guy, was also filled with heroic spirit. He picked up the AK, grinned, and his finger was about to pull the trigger.
If Su Linlang hadn't slapped him on the head, he would have fired a volley of bullets.
The car that came was a Beile car, with the windows open, and someone in the car kept calling out, "Auntie, where are you, Auntie?"
Liu Bobby was even more excited when he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, wondering how could he forget that there was also Xu Tianxi.
And he even got a Baylor E3 sports car, which has excellent performance and runs super fast!
The mountains are winding and the net is tight. As the daughter of the group leader, Su Linlang commanded everyone in an orderly manner to help Mr. He onto the E3 car. Then, she actually took out a walkie-talkie and turned it on.
So she not only killed the guard, but also took the guard's intercom.
If you know yourself and your enemy, won't you be able to win every battle?
As the intercom was turned on, a noisy voice rang out in the car: "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, there is no one in the truck, over!"
"Guard the intersection, search everywhere, shoot everyone except the hostages, over!" This cold voice belonged to the bandit leader A Qiang.
Last year, he also kidnapped another wealthy family, Ji Tingxuan, the eldest grandson of the Ji family, and successfully extorted 800 million yuan from him. He is very experienced.
He is setting up a tight net.
Su Linlang wanted to listen more, but the intercom had a signal range, and she could not hear anything once she left the range.
But finally, I got a moment to catch my breath.
She had to give simple first aid to Mr. He, who was worth 1.6 billion.
After several bumps, blood was oozing from his head. This was not a good sign because there was a bullet in his brain. It was probably because of the good positioning that he didn't die. If the bumps caused the shrapnel to shake, he would die immediately.
Also, although he hasn't developed a fever yet, he still needs to receive anti-inflammatory care, otherwise it would be fatal if he develops a fever!
Three pairs of anxious eyes stared at her, but Su Linlang worked slowly and methodically.
After simply bandaging the wound, she did not forget to carefully wipe the blood off the saber with cotton gauze.
Brother Arong couldn't stand it anymore. After all, it was almost dawn and Brother Aqiang's deployment was about to be in place.
He said flatteringly, "Auntie, there is actually more than one way down the mountain. There is another way that can ensure that you and the young master can get down the mountain safely."
Xu Tianxi held his AK and pointed his gun at him: "Don't play tricks, or I'll blow your head off immediately."
Liu Bo, who was in the driver's seat, was even more vicious, with a ferocious look on his face: "How dare you deceive my young mistress? I'll kill you!"
"There is a gate on the east side of the reservoir with a steel plate hidden in it. It can be built into a bridge, which can bypass the dead-end road and go directly to the new asphalt road. That is my escape route, which even Brother Qiang doesn't know about." Brother Rong explained quickly.
Su Linlang finally wiped the saber clean and picked it up to admire it: "Brother Qiang, do you really not know?"
The dirty black T-shirt sets off her fair and rosy skin. This young lady He is thin but has flesh to her body, with a slim waist and a well-proportioned figure. Her whole body exudes the intense, gorgeous, and aggressive beauty of a blooming peony.
Especially her eyes, which were so domineering and fierce that they made men's legs go weak just by looking at them.
"I really don't know." Ah Rong had no evil intentions and just wanted to save his life.
Su Linlang stopped laughing, put her arm around Arong's neck, and signaled Liu Bo, "Drive, and go back the same way."
Then he said to Brother Rong, "Let's take a gamble. Brother Qiang not only knows your path, but he is also waiting there."
Brother Arong was full of confidence: "Impossible, I prepared that road for myself and kept it a secret from Brother Aqiang. He really doesn't know."
"Pride and complacency will lead to death." Su Linlang said as she put away the knife.
Of course, the kidnappers also had to be on guard against each other.
Although Brother Rong was sure that it was impossible, as the car drove on, he couldn't help but wonder, if Brother Qiang even knew his escape route, then he must have mastered everything about him and could kill him if he wanted to.
If that were the case, wouldn't he just be a piece of fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by Brother Qiang?
…
The truth comes like a tornado.
As Beile's car drove down the mountain, he only encountered two people who were carrying severed hands and seeking medical treatment, and some kidnappers who were guarding the road with guns.
Because it was an internal vehicle, they thought it was an accomplice and did not even try to stop us.
The smile and confidence on Brother Rong's face disappeared when the car reached the foot of the mountain.
The journey was so smooth, there was only one truth: Brother Qiang not only knew the small road, but also was certain that they would take it, so he set an ambush there, trying to trick them into changing their route. Now they would have been shot like a sieve.
At this moment, Brother Rong's face looked as if he had lost his parents!
