"Strange?" The crowd was puzzled by what Night Raccoon was saying, and only Xiao Wei asked, "You don't need to put on a show here. You know you can't escape, right? Don't try any tricks. Just think for a second, and I'll pull the trigger. Don't worry, with Sister Shen Zhi Ying's skills, she won't kill you, right, Sister Shen Zhi Ying?" Shen Zhiying remained silent, merely tapping her gun to indicate her agreement.
Night Raccoon showed no fear of Xiao Wei's threat; it was as if he had some kind of backing. He sat cross-legged on the ground, idly playing with the dirt beneath him, and said nonchalantly, "I never expected to fall into the hands of a child. No one would have guessed that Wang Chao's strategist is just a kid in their teens. I suppose I was careless. But do you really think I have no backup?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei's mind raced as he pondered the implications of Night Raccoon's words. From a straightforward perspective, there were two possibilities: first, Night Raccoon had no backup and was deliberately trying to confuse him with his words while looking for an opportunity to escape. If that were the case, what method could he use to flee? From Wang Chao's previous remarks, Xiao Wei knew that this person was exceptionally skilled at escaping; last time, it was precisely because of him that those people managed to slip away. However, that time had been sudden, and now surrounded by everyone, he surely had no way out.
Thus, it seemed he intended to buy time for someone to rescue him—this was one of the most likely scenarios.
The second possibility was that Night Raccoon indeed had backup and believed that Xiao Wei wouldn't shoot him. If so, what could that backup be? Xiao Wei's expression remained neutral, but inside he felt turmoil. They had just arrived in Jing City; at most there should only be five or six people left. Huangfu Yan couldn't possibly have sent all of Elite Eighteen over here. Therefore, his backup could only consist of the remaining four.
Could those people already be lurking near the back mountain? How could that be possible? Sister Shen Zhi Ying had been tracking Li Mao all along and hadn't seen Li Mao do anything that could convey information. Could it be that the other four had been hiding in the Safe Zone all this time? The thought sent cold sweat pouring down Xiao Wei's back; he felt as if he were standing naked in the dead of winter.
Impossible! This can't be happening! When did they infiltrate? Why hadn't he noticed? Who were they? The only people Wang Chao brought back were Night Raccoon and a dozen women along with a few men—could it be them? If his suspicions were correct, then their target wasn't Wang Chao but the entire Safe Zone!
"Fire!" Suddenly, Xiao Wei shouted. "Don't kill him; leave him alive to talk!"
This kind of task was naturally something Shen Zhiying, who was incredibly familiar with various firearms, could handle effortlessly. With her submachine gun in hand, she fired several precise shots that struck Night Raccoon's arms and legs. The pain made Night Raccoon cry out immediately. Xiao Wei shouted fiercely and quickly, "No matter what your scheme is, I'll give you one last chance—speak up! Otherwise, you'll find out what it means to wish you were dead!"
Xiao Wei's expression turned somewhat ferocious at this moment, startling Shen Zhiying beside him. However, without any hesitation, she fired again.
"Alright!" Night Raccoon had been sitting cross-legged but now lay sprawled on the ground after being hit multiple times. Shen Zhiying's marksmanship was incredibly precise; under the moonlight, she managed to sever his tendons without missing a beat, rendering him completely immobile. Night Raccoon never expected this child to be so ruthless; he shouted out desperately, "I'll talk!"
"Good!" Xiao Wei said word by word, "You better speak clearly. If you dare to say even a single word, you know the consequences!"
Night Raccoon gritted his teeth, looking at Xiao Wei with resentment, but Xiao Wei didn't care at all. Night Raccoon almost forced the words out through clenched teeth: "When Wang Chao brought us back, did you count how many of us there were?"
Actually, by this point, Xiao Wei already had an idea. He said, "So that's how it is. Then..." Everyone waited for Xiao Wei's next words, but something unexpected happened. As he spoke, he pulled the trigger. With the flash of the gunfire, everyone saw that Night Raccoon had been shot to pieces.
"What... what is happening?" Shen Zhiying couldn't believe that Xiao Wei had fired while speaking. Their own people hadn't even reacted in time, let alone Night Raccoon, who was now collapsed on the ground. No matter how skilled Night Raccoon was at escaping, it was all in vain now.
Xiao Wei confirmed that Night Raccoon was indeed dead before he sighed in relief and said, "It's my fault, my fault. I didn't think it through completely. This time, my mistake could lead to huge losses. I don't know whose strategy this was; it's so profound that I've lost." As he spoke, Xiao Wei dropped his gun on the ground and kept tugging at his hair as if he wanted to pull it all out, his tone filled with immense guilt.
"What exactly is going on?" Everyone asked in confusion. From when Xiao Wei ordered Shen Zhiying to shoot to suddenly shooting Night Raccoon himself, it seemed as if Xiao Wei had gone mad. While continuing to pull at his hair, Xiao Wei said, "We've all been deceived. In fact, they had already planned several steps from the very beginning."
"Think about it: from the moment Brother Wang Chao brought back Li Mao, Li Mao displayed his abilities and shone brightly. In reality, this was all part of their plan; it was a bait they intentionally threw out. He must have already thought of several scenarios: one where Li Mao goes unnoticed and another where Li Mao gets discovered."
Xiao Wei's words sounded like an explanation to everyone but also like he was talking to himself.
The others still couldn't grasp the meaning behind Xiao Wei's explanation.
Xiao Wei didn't care whether they understood or not and continued, "When I was questioning Night Raccoon earlier, I already got the answer I wanted. Therefore, I had to kill him to eliminate future troubles. But don't worry; since they went through so much trouble, they won't let Night Raccoon's death disrupt their plans. I can already guess what will happen next."
"Sister Shen Zhiying, Sister Shen Zhitao, Yang Sister Mengying, Sister Wan'er—everyone else stay in the Safe Zone. I believe Brother Wang Chao and the others should be able to escape without a doubt. By the way, Yiyi!"
Xiao Wei shouted, "Where's Yiyi?"
