At thirty, I started my comeback from the intelligence system.

Zhao Xiaoyu was so frightened that she trembled all over and tears streamed down her face. Sure enough, she dared not shout loudly anymore and could only let out suppressed sobs.

"Hurry up, search them and take the money!"

Zhang Dabiao urged her on, then squatted down and rummaged through Zhao Xiaoyu's bag, only to find a few dozen yuan in change and an old cell phone. He was greatly disappointed, exclaiming, "Poor wretch!"

"He doesn't have much money, but he's a good person."

Li Wu grinned lewdly, the knife lightly slicing across Zhao Xiaoyu's neck. "Let's have some fun tonight, brothers..."

Just then—

"stop!"

With a sharp shout, the tall woman burst out from around the corner of the bamboo forest like a cheetah!

She could see clearly that one thug was holding a knife to the girl's neck, while another was ransacking her.

Without the slightest hesitation, she aimed at Li Wu, who was holding a knife, and delivered a swift and fierce side kick, striking his wrist holding the knife!

"Ah!" Li Wu felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the switchblade flew out of his hand.

The tall woman continued her movements without stopping, delivering an elbow strike to Li Wu's ribs while simultaneously sweeping her long leg like a whip towards Zhang Dabiao, who had just gotten up!

Zhang Dabiao hurriedly used his left hand to block, and with a "crack," it seemed as if his ulna had broken. He was also shaken and staggered back a few steps.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhao Xiaoyu burst into tears, scrambled to break free, and ran frantically back the way she came without looking back.

"Damn it! Where did this stinky woman come from!"

Li Wu clutched his wrist and ribs, wracked with pain, both shocked and furious.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes also turned red. The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, and a capable fighter appeared out of nowhere.

"Damn it, you're asking for it!"

Ignoring the pain in his left arm, he swiftly pulled a crude-looking but clearly homemade pistol from his lower back, pointed the dark muzzle at the tall woman, and grinned with a ferocious and excited expression.

"Heh heh, God's been kind to me! Even though I can't go to Hong Kong, at least I got to have some fun before I die. With such a beautiful woman, it's all worth it!"

The cold muzzle of the gun carried the threat of death. The tall woman froze, her pupils contracting.

She was a skilled fighter, but flesh and blood against firearms, especially at such close range, offered almost no chance of victory.

She slowly raised her hands, her mind racing, searching for a chance to escape.

"Tie her up! I'm going to have my fun!" Zhang Dabiao roared at Li Wu, while pointing his gun firmly at the tall woman to prevent her from suddenly lashing out.

Li Wu endured the pain, pulled out a tattered rope, and walked towards the tall woman with a lewd grin.

At this critical moment—

"Brother Biao! Brother Wu! Don't shoot! We're on the same side!!" A panting male voice, filled with urgency and a hint of flattery, rang out.

Chen Geng limped over from the bamboo grove, a smile plastered on his face, waving repeatedly at Zhang Dabiao, who was holding a gun.

The tall woman was taken aback. One of their own? Could it be…?

Zhang Dabiao and Li Wu were also stunned. They stopped firing their guns and their movements, looking suspiciously at the young man who had suddenly appeared and looked a bit disheveled.

"Who the hell are you?"

The two men exchanged a glance, both suspecting that the person was someone their accomplice knew, otherwise how could they know each other's names so readily?

Chen Geng's heart was pounding, but he tried his best to remain calm, even with a hint of "resentment" on his face.

"Hey, I've finally found you! I was sent by Brother Qiang, the smuggler! Brother Qiang ran into some trouble on the way and couldn't come, so he sent me to find you quickly and arrange for you to take another route! If we delay any longer, the police will come and search the area!"

"Snakehead Brother Qiang?" Zhang Dabiao and Li Wu exchanged a glance, both skeptical.

The smuggler they were in contact with was nicknamed "Brother Fei".

"You fucking lied to me? We don't know any Brother Qiang, we only know Brother Fei!" Zhang Dabiao, simple-minded as ever, immediately started cursing.

Li Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is exactly the kind of person you'd call a 'pig teammate'!"

"We all follow Brother Fei, and Da Fei is also Brother Fei's underling, in charge of the perimeter. Didn't he tell you?" Chen Geng's mind worked quickly, and he quickly came back to his senses.

"How can you prove what you're saying is true?" Li Wu persisted, unwilling to give up.

"Brother Qiang's car was stopped for a check outside the city, causing a minor problem, and he can't leave for the time being. He asked me to pass on a message to you: the usual place is no longer safe, and he has to leave tonight. The boat is..."

Chen Geng quickly began weaving, observing the expressions of the two men. Seeing that they were starting to waver, he pressed on while the iron was hot.

"Brothers, what are you doing playing around with women at a time like this? Hurry up and grab the money, come with me! If we alert the police, there will be a city-wide manhunt, and none of us will escape! This beautiful woman may be nice... but she's just a burden!"

As he spoke, he subtly winked at the tall woman who was being tied up by Li Wuzheng, signaling her to calm down and cooperate with him.

The tall woman's suspicions deepened upon seeing Chen Geng's expression.

Who exactly is this person?

Are they really accomplices of the criminals?

But the anxious look on his face when I subdued him didn't seem fake... Could he be lying to the thugs to save me?

But how did he know about the snakehead and Brother Qiang?

Her mind raced, and she decided to hold back for now and see how things went.

Zhang Dabiao hesitated after Chen Geng's words.

Chen Geng's words were logically sound, and "police search and arrest" was indeed what he feared most.

But when he looked at the tall woman's stunning face and figure, he couldn't resist the urge to seduce her.

Li Wu was also conflicted. He hated the woman for kicking him, but he was also afraid of delaying his escape.

"Brother, you're right...but..."

Zhang Dabiao licked his lips and the muzzle of his gun swayed.

"This woman's got some hot stuff, how about... we play together? Or maybe I can take her along on the way? Don't worry, after we're done, I'll make sure everything's cleaned up, and you won't be implicated!"

Chen Geng cursed inwardly, but on his face he wore a troubled yet lewd smile that seemed to say, "Every man understands."

"Brother Biao, it's not that I don't want to... it's just that Brother Qiang instructed me that there's no time. Bringing a woman along would be too conspicuous."

"Besides... if someone dies, the cops will investigate even more thoroughly! What we're after right now is to get out safely. Once we're rich, what woman can't we have?"

As he spoke, he slowly approached, as if he wanted to put his arm around Zhang Dabiao's shoulder and discuss something, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on the gun in Zhang's hand.

The tall woman felt disgusted when she heard Chen Geng's "lewd" words, but she had no choice but to endure it, though her eyes grew even colder.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, and Zhang Dabiao seemed to be persuaded, his gun barrel slightly lowered—

Chen Geng made his move, grabbing Zhang Dabiao's wrist and preparing to disarm him.

"Damn it! You traitor!"

Zhang Dabiao cursed and swung his left fist at Chen Geng, forgetting that he had an injury to his left arm. The two screamed at the same time and separated, the gun falling to the ground.

"Bang!" The gun went off accidentally!

Ignoring the pain, Zhang Dabiao quickly bent down to pick up the gun! Chen Geng, also enduring the buzzing in his head, reached out to grab it!

"Bang! Bang!" Two more gunshots rang out around them, startling the two men into a frozen state.

"Police! Don't move! Drop your weapons!"

Several sharp shouts rang out from the surrounding bamboo forest! Several agile figures rushed out, led by Yang Yongchao! He and several plainclothes colleagues surrounded them in a fan shape, all holding guns!
