The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

On the mountain, Li Kaixin aimed for the head and heart of everyone except the leader, whom he missed hitting.

After all, their main task was to transport grain, and escorting so many prisoners back would definitely be very troublesome.

But if we just let it escape, it feels like a menace.

Soon, many of the scarred man's henchmen also noticed this situation.

He gritted his teeth, raised his gun, and began to fight back.

But all efforts were in vain in the face of the transport convoy's overwhelming firepower.

Before they could fire a few shots, they were pinned down by a hail of bullets and couldn't lift their heads. Some were hit before they could even pull back the bolt.

Gunfire continued intermittently for a while, until no one else stood up, and then the firing gradually ceased.

However, the people in the convoy did not move.

They didn't even stick their heads out from behind the car; they just waited quietly.

Because at this point, no one can guarantee that the other side won't be taking sniper shots.

On the other hand, Li Kaixin, who was halfway up the mountain, didn't have this worry. He just kept an eye on whether anyone was trying to escape.

After an unknown amount of time, dawn gradually broke.

Captain Wang then led the experienced workers up the mountain to the side.

They prepared to sneak past the scarred man and his group from behind.

The group approached slowly, bending over and circling around.

Li Kaixin saw Captain Wang's movements from halfway up the mountain, put away his gun, and slid down into the bushes, quickly rejoining them.

Captain Wang wasn't surprised that Li Kaixin was there, and immediately asked in a low voice:

"Kaixin, you're keeping an eye on things up on the mountain. Do you know the current situation with these robbers?"

"The leader should still be alive, but I don't know about the others. Anyway, I hit them all in vital areas."

As Li Kaixin replied, he drew his pistol from his waist.

Captain Wang nodded, and then cautiously led his men toward the fallen bandit.

As soon as I got closer, I saw about forty people lying haphazardly on the ground.

Many more rolled into the bushes, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Captain Wang and several experienced workers checked each one one by one.

Li Kaixin headed straight for the scarred man who was leading the group.

The scarred man was lying on his side on the ground, blood still seeping from the wound on his thigh.

Hearing the noise, he struggled to lift his head and look at Li Kaixin and the others, a flash of fear immediately crossing his eyes.

"Please, don't, don't kill me..." His voice trembled as he struggled to shrink back.

Li Kaixin wasn't going to be polite to him and stepped on his injured leg.

The scarred man immediately screamed in pain, veins bulging on his forehead, and sweat pouring down his face.

"Who sent you?" Li Kaixin asked coldly.

"No, no one!" The scarred man gasped in pain. "It's just... it's just that they saw your convoy had a lot of food and wanted to..."

"You're still not telling the truth, are you?"

Li Kaixin tightened his grip on her foot. "I didn't even say what we were carrying, how do you know it's grain? Besides, these forty-odd of you have clearly been following us all this way."

The scarred man trembled with pain, but he stubbornly kept quiet:

"There really wasn't anyone there. We figured it out from the tire tracks and the fallen grain."

After hearing his explanation, Li Kaixin was indeed somewhat shaken, thinking that she was just overthinking things.

But then I thought about it again and it seemed a bit strange.

How can you be 100% sure the truck is full of grain just from those few bits of food that fell off?

Furthermore, the fact that these people managed to catch up clearly indicates that they knew in advance.

Thinking of this, Li Kaixin's face grew even colder, and he kicked Xu Ming, who was standing to the side with his eyes closed.

"Stop playing dead, open your eyes!"

After waiting for a while, Xu Ming remained motionless, still pretending to be dead.

"Fine! Since you want to die, then never open your eyes again."

Li Kaixin grew impatient and slowly pointed the gun at Xu Ming's forehead.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Xu Ming immediately opened his eyes, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Li Kaixin didn't move the gun from his hand, but patted his face: "Tell me, who ordered you?"

"Yes, yes..." Xu Ming's eyes darted around, and he secretly glanced at his older brother on the ground.

The scarred man shook his head slightly at him, his eyes full of warning.

Li Kaixin saw all of this, sneered, and raised his hand to shoot the scarred man in the uninjured leg.

The scarred man immediately started howling again, curling up into a ball.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Xu Ming was so frightened that he began to tremble all over, and his crotch was instantly soaked.

"What's wrong? Are you happy?" Captain Wang rushed over without even checking on the rest of the people.

"It's alright, Captain Wang." Li Kaixin smiled and pointed to Xu Ming on the ground.

"It's probably not a coincidence that we were ambushed this time."

Captain Wang's face immediately darkened, and his gaze fell on Xu Ming.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Xu Ming was already terrified out of his wits, and dared not hide anything any longer:

"Yes, he's the deputy director of the county grain station, my eldest brother's younger brother, his name is Hu Jiahao."

"Is it really Hu Jiahao?" Captain Wang grabbed Xu Ming by the collar.

"Really, really!" Xu Ming nodded hurriedly, afraid that the two wouldn't believe him.

"I personally witnessed my boss meeting with that person, and I also heard him say that this batch of grain was being transported to Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin frowned: "Captain Wang, who is this Hu Jiahao?"

"The deputy director of the county grain station, who was just transferred here this year, I never expected him to be involved in this kind of shady business."

As Captain Wang spoke, he kicked the scarred man on the ground hard.

The scarred man groaned in pain, but he didn't cry out again. He just stared at Xu Ming with resentful eyes.

Startled by that look, Xu Ming shrank back and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again.

Just then, the experienced workers who were cleaning up the site came over.

"Old Wang, everything has been counted."

Master Guo, who was walking at the front, spoke up, "There were forty-three people in total, thirty-eight of them died, and only these five are left alive."

He paused, then looked at Li Kaixin with a look of awe: "Thirty of them were killed with a single shot."

They all knew that Li Kaixin was an instructor in the army, but seeing this scene with their own eyes still made them feel uneasy.

Captain Wang gasped in shock after hearing this.

"Kaixin, your marksmanship is amazing..."

"Captain Wang, this isn't the time to talk about this," Li Kaixin quickly interrupted, then asked:

"What should we do with these five survivors? And what about Hu Jiahao?"

Captain Wang pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said in a deep voice:

"Tie these five people up and take them back as witnesses."

"As for Hu Jiahao, I'll report back to the station and have Director Xie and the others negotiate with the county."

Li Kaixin and Master Guo exchanged glances, nodded, and didn't delay any longer.

Master Guo went to the convoy to call for reinforcements, while the others began to tie the surviving robbers with ropes.
