Fei Hu signaled A-Lian with his eyes, urging her to lead Sister Wu and Ye Xiaofei upstairs, leaving only Yingzi and Brother Dong downstairs.
The commotion outside caught Ye Cheng's attention, and he opened the car door and stepped out, asking the One-Armed Man without fear, "Did Ye Wu send you to do this?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Just write what you need to. One more word and I'll make sure my gun goes off," the One-Armed Man said, stepping forward so that the gun was almost pointed at Ye Cheng's head.
Seeing this, Fei Hu's anger flared up. He shouted, "Put your gun away. If you hurt the old man, the thousands of members of the Dragon Tiger Gang will tear you apart."
"Is that so? I don't believe that," the One-Armed Man suddenly kicked out, hitting the old man's thigh. Ye Cheng staggered but managed to stay upright; fortunately, he had a solid foundation in martial arts from his youth. If it had been another old man, he would have already fallen to the ground.
Brother Dong rushed forward, and with a loud bang, a bullet exploded at his feet, sending concrete fragments flying everywhere. These bastards clearly had no fear of killing someone. Just then, faint sirens could be heard from Main Road. The One-Armed Man's expression changed immediately as he stepped forward, pressing his handgun against Ye Cheng's neck and shouted, "Get back! Anyone who steps forward will get a bullet in the head." He then pushed Ye Cheng toward the gate.
The sudden turn of events was unexpected. Fei Hu's mind raced, but he couldn't act; five guns were aimed at them, making it nearly impossible to defend themselves. Any misstep could put their lives in danger. As the One-Armed Man and his group retreated to the gate, several Magic Motorcycles roared out. Each bike had one person on it. The One-Armed Man forced Ye Cheng onto the front motorcycle and shouted, "If you dare bring the police here, I'll make sure to kill him." With that, they disappeared from sight.
The other four took turns retreating, with the last one firing a few shots into the courtyard, forcing Fei Hu to pull Yingzi and Brother Dong back as they retreated. When the smoke and dust finally settled, there was no one left at the gate.
Fei Hu leaped onto Yingzi's vehicle; the engine roared angrily as they made a sharp 180-degree turn. As they sped out of Farmhouse Fun's courtyard like the wind, Fei Hu realized that Yingzi was already seated in the passenger seat. He nodded in appreciation of her skills.
Once on the main road, they sped away at full throttle. The accident vehicle had already been cleared away, and a police car was parked nearby; it turned out that the sirens had come from there. Fei Hu didn't care about that anymore; with a whoosh, they left the police car behind.
"Turn right ahead and take the small road," Yingzi said as she looked out the window, noticing some people's movements.
This was Fei Hu's first time driving at such high speed; he felt like he was risking everything. So many people had just watched as Ye Cheng was taken away by those bastards. Fei Hu felt he couldn't let this happen without doing anything.
Due to the excessive speed, the car suddenly swerved on the rural road, nearly tumbling into the fields beside it. Startled, Yingzi shouted, "Steady, slow down!"
The car stabilized, but Fei Hu did not reduce speed at all. In a short while, he spotted several motorcycles ahead. They likely had no idea that Fei Hu was driving so fast. Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, two hundred meters—the distance was closing in, and they were about to catch up. Yingzi reminded Fei Hu, "Maintain this distance, don't alert them."
Fei Hu nodded and unconsciously eased off the accelerator. Ahead was a village that had been relocated; it looked desolate with crumbling walls and debris everywhere. The group of five motorcycles led by One-Armed Man entered the village. As Fei Hu's car reached the village entrance, it could not proceed further due to collapsed walls everywhere. He parked behind a large tree not far from the road and got out with Yingzi.
The two bent down and quickly darted into the disordered alleyways, hiding behind a roofless building. This spot was elevated enough to see most of the village. Yingzi raised her binoculars and began scanning each building in the village. Suddenly, she waved at Fei Hu and handed him the binoculars.
Taking the binoculars from Yingzi, Fei Hu followed her gesture and was taken aback. He saw a three-story building that appeared relatively intact without signs of demolition. Shadows moved on each floor, and it seemed everyone had a gun. What should they do?
Fei Hu sat down and briefly discussed their options with Yingzi. Calling the police was definitely out of the question; angering these desperate criminals could lead to unimaginable consequences. They would have to rely on themselves, but there were at least ten or more armed individuals on the other side. Even though both Fei Hu and Yingzi were skilled fighters, they hesitated to act rashly against such a group.
Time passed slowly as Fei Hu and Yingzi anxiously brainstormed ways to rescue Ye Cheng. Suddenly, an idea struck Fei Hu; he slapped his thigh and pulled Yingzi over to explain his plan enthusiastically. Yingzi's furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
The sun suddenly hid behind clouds, signaling an impending rainstorm. Yingzi gently nudged Fei Hu, who had his eyes tightly shut, and whispered, "Look, they're coming."
Fei Hu quickly opened his eyes and followed Yingzi's gesture. At the eastern entrance of the village appeared forty to fifty scavengers—men and women alike—advancing in a fan-like formation as if someone were directing them.
His phone vibrated in his pocket; Fei Hu quickly pulled it out to see it was A-Lian calling. He answered hurriedly while covering his mouth, whispering, "Is that you all coming in at the village entrance?"
"Yes," A-Lian replied quietly. "We dressed up as you suggested. Brother Guang, Feng Jie, Xiao Qi, and I each brought ten people to push into the village. You can arrange things from here!"
Fei Hu felt a surge of joy; he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly, and they truly looked like scavengers—no one would suspect them.
"To the west of the village, that three-story building that hasn't been touched much is your target. It's best to find a way to lure the people inside out, but you need to be careful; they seem to have guns," Fei Hu quietly instructed.
As soon as Fei Hu finished the call, Yingzi softly said, "Shouldn't we take action now?"
Fei Hu and Yingzi quickly sketched out a plan on the ground and then split up to approach from different sides.
A-Lian and her group were just putting on a show. They chatted and laughed, appearing relaxed. In no time, they surrounded the three-story building. At A-Lian's signal, Bald Zhang led a few people to gently push open the courtyard gate and walked in. Just after taking a couple of steps, five armed Masked Men rushed out from the first floor. The leader shouted loudly, "Get out! We're using this place for now. You can come back once we're gone."
"Hey, big brother, this house is also part of the demolition. We're just looking for something valuable inside; we won't disturb you at all," Bald Zhang pretended to be intimidating, but his steps still moved inward.
The leader suddenly raised his gun toward Bald Zhang and shouted, "Take another step and I'll shoot you. Do you believe me?"
Bald Zhang deliberately shrank his neck and said, "Don't try to scare me with that. I have health issues; if I get scared and something happens, my fellow villagers won't let it go. They rely on me to exchange what they collect every day."
As soon as Bald Zhang finished speaking, A-Lian and several sisters squeezed into the courtyard, all shouting at once: "Big brother! Why can't we go in? Who do these armed guys think they are? This house isn't theirs!" These women were bolder than the men, pushing their way inside.
Chaos erupted in the courtyard; those inside wouldn't let them in while those outside insisted on pushing their way in. More and more people rushed in from outside, armed with iron hooks, carrying iron rods, and wielding shovels. Some women swung their belongings directly at the heads of the armed men, forcing them to retreat.
"Don't push us! We will really shoot!" The leader's gun trembled in his hand, clearly ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
A-Lian deliberately shouted loudly, "Everyone don't be afraid! When we came over earlier, the police were not far from the village entrance. If a shot is fired, they're all done for!"
