Upon hearing my words, Xue Dong reached out and pressed my shoulder: "I know the bond between you and the monkey, so I can really understand how you feel. You're a worldly person, you should know that you need to stay calm, especially in situations like this! I'm not against you saving people, but I hope we can work together to come up with a good solution and achieve the best possible outcome."
After listening to Xue Dong's words, I sighed helplessly: "Of course I understand the reasons you are talking about, but as you said, this valley has been made into an impregnable fortress by them. Under such circumstances, is there any other way but to charge straight through?"
"We can try rappelling."
A burly man next to Xue Dong pointed to a protruding rock above the enemy camp and said, "That cliff looks to be only about fifteen or sixteen meters high. If we use rappelling, we can land on the ground in five seconds. Our men are all retired special forces soldiers, so landing won't be a problem."
I sighed: "Even if you can get down there, you might not be a match for those people. They have guns. If they discover anything, your rappelling will just make you sitting ducks."
"Then we can only take one gamble."
The burly man squinted and said, "We are equipped with Tasers. If we can successfully launch a sneak attack and seize one or two guns, we can at least create a stalemate, which is much better than rushing through the valley from the front."
I don't want the monkey to get hurt, and I also don't want Xue Dong's people to take any risks: "There's no room for error in this kind of thing. The people from Hehai are all a bunch of desperate people. If there's a mistake, someone could die."
"They become fugitives simply because they break the law and commit crimes, which does not mean that their tactics and strategies are superior to ours! They have no way out, and we earn money by risking our lives."
The burly man wasn't intimidated by my words: "This is what we do at Tianxia Group. Everyone is prepared. At least for now, rappelling is the most reliable method."
I considered the plan the burly man offered, took a deep breath, and said, "I can do you a favor and distract the guards."
"You want to use yourself as bait to enter their camp from the front?"
Xue Dong guessed what I was thinking and said with some unease, "Didn't they say that the leader of this group has a deep-seated hatred for you? If you expose your identity and they kill you without hesitation, we won't even have time to rescue you!"
"No way! He Hai wants to kill me because he blames me for his uncle's death. Now he has a serious case against him, and instead of running away, he wants to seek revenge on me. Besides feeling that he can hardly escape, it's also because seeking revenge on me is an obsession for him! For him, shooting me is not the best option. I think as long as I show my face, he will definitely be willing to see me."
I smiled at Xue Dong: "As for whether I can leave this place alive after I fall into his hands, that depends on you guys."
"Doing it this way is too risky, why don't I go instead!"
Xue Dong glanced at Li Changyou and said, "I'll go find those people according to his previous idea, and say that I'm from Qingyun Town, and ask them if they need a guide?"
"No chance! He Hai's people came here mainly to seek revenge on me. They definitely won't use a stranger as a guide. If you rush over there, there are only three possibilities: first, they will drive you away; second, they will detain you; and third, they might even kill you. The sudden appearance of a stranger might also alert them."
I shook my head: "No one can replace me in this task; only I can attract their attention."
"Okay, then let's do it your way."
Xue Dong, we went into the mountains. In addition to the people he brought, there were also the security guards who had protected Jiang Man before, totaling more than 20 people. However, those people were left outside the valley.
After I made the decision to negotiate with He Hai and the others, Xue Dong ordered the people outside to guard the valley. At the same time, he said to me, "I'm taking a detour to the top of the mountain now. You wait for half an hour before you set off. If we can't rescue you, the people outside will call the police directly. We can only place our hopes on the police."
I lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and buried it in the soil: "Let's do it."
After agreeing on a plan, Xue Dong left two people at the scene to watch over Li Changyou, while he led the other six people into the woods.
I waited on the mountaintop for about twenty minutes, and when I felt that the time was about right, I started walking down the mountain.
As soon as I approached the open space in front of the valley, the lookout on the high ground spotted me and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey! People down here, stop moving! Stay where you are!"
"Friend, don't be nervous, I mean no harm, I came alone."
I raised my hands to show the lookouts that I had no weapon, and then continued to shout, "I need to see Boss He. Could you please pass on my message?"
The man above didn't answer me. Instead, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said something. Soon, two men rushed out from the camp. One of them pointed a pistol at me and said, "Hands above your head, kneel down!"
"Friend, don't act impulsively."
I raised my hand, squatted down, and smiled at him: "My name is Duan Shenxing, and I'm the person your boss has been looking for! The person you've locked up in the yard is my friend. I'm here to have a talk with Boss He."
"I don't care who you are, just follow my orders. If you move, I'll kill you right now!"
The man pointing a gun at me moved over very cautiously, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily: "Slowly lie down on the ground and put your hands behind your back."
My purpose in coming here was to attract the attention of these guards. I thought my appearance would draw out quite a few people, but only two of them came, which made me a little disappointed.
Last night, I had already dealt with He Hai's men and knew that they were all wanted criminals who risked their lives for him. I had no doubt that he had the courage to fire a gun, so I slowly lay down on the ground as he instructed.
After the two men walked up to me, one of them handcuffed my hands behind my back, while the other searched me from head to toe before dragging me into the camp.
When I reached the camp gate, I shouted at the top of my lungs, "He Hai, I know you're in this camp! I am Duan Shenxing. Haven't you been looking for me? Today I've come in person, and you, as the head of the He family, haven't come out to greet me. Isn't that against the principles of hospitality?"
