NOVEL WEB Chapter 423: 423 arrest people
After two hours, Tan Shaoting stopped the car.
"Leader?"
"I think it's close by. Be careful."
Divine Sense felt a few people ahead.
After the two got out of the car, Hu Zi directly followed behind Tan Shaoting, truly trusting and admiring the leader.
The two moved very quickly. About half an hour later, Hu Zi heard the voice of a woman complaining.
"What's the rush? I really can't walk anymore. Besides, we've come this far, for so long. Can anyone really be following us?
I'm tired and hungry, I want to rest and eat."
The six people following her ignored her words completely.
"Fine. Treat me like this now. I'm not going any further."
She sat down on the ground.
Tan Shaoting spotted the car not far away, he tampered with it using Divine Sense, so it couldn't start now.
At this moment, a man, who looked the strongest among them, came over and grabbed Zheng Lanying by the collar.
Zheng Lanying struggled desperately, this tightened her throat.
"Let go," a man said calmly.
Zheng Lanying was thrown to the ground, gasping for breath and constantly rubbing her neck, her face full of terror.
Zheng Lanying regretted it now. Deeply regretted, she shouldn't have listened to their persuasion.
If they're treating her like this now, what about the future?
Her life here was actually quite good. Good food and drinks. No work required.
If she really wanted to go out, just apply, and seven out of ten times, it would be approved.
Looking at the actions of these people, her future here was uncertain.
Zheng Lanying wasn't stupid. She now realized that even if she regretted it, there was nothing she could do.
So she sat on the ground, panting with her head down.
After about two minutes, the man who had spoken earlier spoke again, "Get up. Let's go."
It was because this woman wanted to use the toilet that they stopped, and this delay lasted half an hour.
A lot can change in half an hour. The situation here was already very dangerous. Who knows what might happen?
Upon hearing the man's words, Zheng Lanying got up, still with her head down. She didn't say a word and obediently got into the car.
There was only one car. The strong man drove, the speaker sat in the front passenger seat, four people crowded at the back, so Zheng Lanying had to crouch in the back.
"Boss, the car is broken."
"Hurry up and check it."
Zheng Lanying saw this as an opportunity and wanted to get out of the car but was held back by someone.
After five minutes, "Boss, I can't find the problem."
"Daxiong, Xiaoxiong, you three get out and check it too."
At this point, only the three of them were left in the car.
Tan Shaoting gestured to Hu Zi, and both fired simultaneously,
Hu Zi was the best sniper; his aim and speed were unmatched. Each took out two, dropping four.
The two in the car reacted now. The one holding Zheng Lanying quickly punched her, knocking her unconscious onto the floor of the car.
The two dared not get out of the car. But staying inside was too passive; they'd just be waiting to be shot.
Now they couldn't pinpoint the two snipers, which was their greatest frustration.
Four brothers died just like that. All because of that woman. If she hadn't been difficult, none of this would have happened.
That's why they were so ruthless earlier. If she wasn't of use, they'd have smashed her head in with a punch.
The two now wanted to get out. So they tried to determine the snipers' positions by shooting from inside the car.
Tan Shaoting gestured to Hu Zi, so they stayed still.
The two inside the car felt even more uncertain.
In the end, both got out; Tan Shaoting was responsible for the one in front, so as he exited, he shot him in the hand, making it impossible for him to hold a gun anymore.
Tan Shaoting fired a second shot. The other arm crippled. The third shot took out a leg.
The one behind dared not get out. He dragged out the still-unconscious Zheng Lanying.
Using her as a shield, he got out quickly, with his back pressed against the car.
Now, he was the only one alive, terrified.
In fact, their hearts were fragile too. Especially after seeing five brothers fall before him, his mindset was near collapsing.
His hand gripping Zheng Lanying was trembling.
Tan Shaoting saw this and gestured to Hu Zi, deciding to leave two alive instead of one, now that this one was weak too.
Hu Zi aimed at the legs, Tan Shaoting at the hand. Both acted simultaneously.
Zheng Lanying awoke, her mind hazy. Suddenly there was a loud noise by her ear, she felt deaf, instinctively turned her head.
And fainted again, having just seen blood splatter.
The man's mindset was already broken, and these two shots made him surrender completely.
With Tan Shaoting's approval, Hu Zi cautiously approached.
He tossed Zheng Lanying aside like trash, then knocked the man out and tied him up.
He understood the leader's intent. So he went to the other captive, who didn't need to be knocked out, just tied up.
Tan Shaoting came out then, "Tie up the woman too."
Hu Zi pouted, not wanting to touch the woman, feeling uncomfortable.
Tan Shaoting smirked at Hu Zi's expression, realizing that, like his wife said, clowns exist everywhere.
Loyal, sincere Hu Zi still had such expressions. It was indeed amusing.
"Leader, I'll go start the car."
"Go ahead."
After Hu Zi left, Tan Shaoting dragged the four together. This needed to be taken back, but it wasn't their task. He directly tossed them into the car.
Returning, the driver was still Tan Shaoting, with Hu Zi vigilant, watching the three piled in the back, remaining cautious.
Tan Shaoting returned directly to his garrison. Three were Hu Zi's responsibility; he directly called in to report.
It was already past eight in the evening. The leader listened to Tan Shaoting's report, feeling a slight disappointment yet still commending Tan Shaoting. They would both be credited.
In truth, he hoped Zheng Lanying would die. They knew all they needed to; keeping her wasn't beneficial. Yet this time, she survived.
Tan Shaoting understood the leader's momentary hesitation. This time he did not do right.
