Chapter 88: These bastards deserve to die

  Soon, Jiang Yongnian and Cao Bide will ignore Zhang Shidong.

  Inside the makeshift tent, Du Yuan, who was concerned, leaned over to Jiang Xue's side and whispered: "Don't be afraid, with Ah Nan and the others around, we'll definitely be fine. At most, by tomorrow morning, someone will come to rescue us. Uncle and Cao are both busy people, if their phones can't be reached for a whole day, and even the phones of those around them can't be reached, I estimate that things have already gotten chaotic outside tonight."

  "Have something to eat, otherwise you can have a drink, it's cold at night, have a drink to keep warm."

  "You cover me and I'm fine, carrying it for a night without sleep is no problem."

  Dong Zha didn't know Du Yuan, he was resting in the corner with his arms around him. When he heard the noise, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Sleeping? The temperature here at midnight is very low, if you don't have enough physical energy reserves, you won't be able to hold on."

  An Nan nodded in agreement with Du Yuan, confirming what Dong Cha had said was correct.

  Jiang Xueyu said: "Hurry up and rest for a while, be careful tonight."

  Du Yuan's eyes lit up, thinking it was a turning point, and he looked very excited. He sat there, occasionally stealing a smile to himself. It was already past 8 pm, but he couldn't sleep. Dazed and confused, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder: "Hey, handsome, we're at your stop. Damn, it's really cold outside."

  Du Yuan was slightly dizzy and felt sleepy, first being blown by a gust of cool wind on his body, then being pushed and squeezed awake by someone. Before he fully woke up, he saw Zhang Shidong's blurry figure leaning against Jiang Xueyu to sit down, and immediately afterwards, Jiang Xueyu flipped her eyelids and lifted the thin quilt off her body, covering half of it over him.

  After Cao Peter came in, he directly got into the sleeping bag and hugged Hou Ya. The tent and sleeping bag that Laosi carried on his back were left outside, leaving only Jiang Xue's thin quilt covering her body.

  The black sheep never rested in the tent, people were outside, but no one knew where he was. Jiang Yongnian seemed very excited and didn't sleep either. He followed Anan and Du Yuan, huddled together to keep warm while observing their surroundings. With a slight rustle of grass, the handgun that Anan had just taken from Jiang Yongnian's hand would be aimed in which direction.

  "Is it cold?" Zhang Shidong wrapped his arms around Jiang Xueyu's body and asked softly.

  "Uh-huh, a bit." Jiang Xue shrunk her head back in, unwilling to expose it outside.

  Zhang Shidong stretched out his palm and inserted it into Jiang Xueyu's clothes, placing it on her lower abdomen. The technique was activated, and the true energy generated a thread of heat that entered Jiang Xueyu's body through his palm.

  "Huh?" Jiang Xueyu was already dazed, her body hot with fear-induced nervous tension. The dry and monotonous environment had stimulated her sleepiness, making it hard for her to stay awake even if she sat up all night. She would still feel drowsy inside the tent, and in her subconscious, she hoped to quickly arrive at the next day, forcing herself into a state of sleep. As soon as the cold was driven away, she directly entered a deep sleep.

  People who kept watch outside felt that time was passing very slowly, they didn't dare to smoke, could only take two sips of wine, and stared at the round moon moving slowly in the sky. The sounds made by insects and birds in the quiet deep night were especially piercing. Mosquitoes flying by could devour people, waving hands became the most frequent action for all those who kept watch. Jiang Yongnian was finally also bitten by mosquitoes until he couldn't continue to stay outside to keep awake.

  Seeing his daughter sleep soundly, Zhang Shidong didn't make any excessive movements and sat down beside her with his arms around him. Jiang Yongnian continued to struggle with the contradictory psychology of treating him, always feeling that he shouldn't have refused his daughter's thoughts and denied the person she recognized. In comparison, he felt that Zhang Shidong was far inferior to Du Yuan. Adding to this was the past engagement between the two families, Jiang Yongnian couldn't help but lean towards Du Yuan's side. However, facing Zhang Shidong again would make him feel a little guilty towards his daughter, and his own promise would have to be repaid by his daughter. As a father, he felt unqualified.

  In his daze, Jiang Yongnian also fell asleep. After all, he had only seen an uncertain corpse and the unreturned Old Four, which couldn't be 100% confirmed that something had really happened on the island. If it was a prank or an accident, wouldn't everyone have been dragged into it?

  Doubt, confusion, incomprehension.

  Among the complex emotions, the night quietly passed, just as the dawn was about to rise on the island, three figures approached the campsite of Jiang Yongnian's team from three directions. Hei Yang had just made a move when a figure even faster than him stuck close and his dagger slashed towards Hei Yang's throat in the dark gray dawn without any light.

  On the other side, Dong Zha also encountered the same attack. He reacted slower than Black Goat, but fortunately, he had a gun in his hand.

  Boom!

  The gun fired, but did not kill the enemy, Dong Cha was knocked down.

  The black sheep was then surrounded by his opponent and forced to retreat to one side.

  Jiang Yongnian rushed out of the tent with a dagger, a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions, possessing uncommon strength himself, his muscular power not weakening with age, thanks to his daily training.

  Anan then emerged from the tent, and as soon as he exposed his head, a bullet whizzed past in front of him. This wasn't an accidental shot, but rather a deliberate miss.

  Behind the three people who were sneaking up, another person appeared, holding a 95-type automatic rifle, chewing gum in his mouth, and wearing thermal imaging goggles on his eyes to ensure accuracy when shooting in a pitch-black environment.

  One was entangled with the black sheep, one was knocked down by Dong Cha's arm and shot through a bit of skin, one was hit twice in a row, making Jiang Yongnian's arm ache and swell, and then he was pointed at by the person who snatched Dong Cha's gun, and could only put down his dagger and raise his arms to surrender.

  As for Cao Peter, Hou Ya, Zhang Shidong, Jiang Xueyu and Du Yuan in the tent, they were directly rounded up. Under the command of a gunman with an infrared thermometer, they raised their arms and walked out of the tent. Hou Ya's clothes were disheveled, and while still in her sleeping bag, Cao Peter didn't forget to put his hands in a comfortable place, making her look even more disheveled when she came out, without the chest strap on.

  "Oh, good, Director Jiang, Director Cao, nice to meet you. My name is Tǔ Gǒu (Earth Dog). I think this dawn's early light will make you remember for the rest of your lives." A few minutes later, after everyone had been disarmed, a group slowly emerged from the woods. The first one was a thin, pockmarked man with his arms open wide, laughing as he walked out. He spotted Hou Ya, who was disheveled, and licked his lips before ignoring all formalities and approaching her. He directly reached out to grab her chest, which was only covered by a camouflage uniform. Just as Hou Ya was about to resist, a gun muzzle pressed against her head. Cao Bǐdé (Cao Peter) nearby also had a gun pointed at him.

  "Don't move, my gun below can't find a place to go, and the one above may not remain calm." The local dog directly tore off Hou Ya's clothes, pressed her onto the tent, knocked down the tent, and didn't care how many people were on the scene. With a lustful smile, he unbuttoned his pants and was about to pounce on her. Hou Ya let out a terrified shriek and cried helplessly.

  At this time, Cao Peter stood out. He stood out with a lot of masculine spirit. When his life was threatened, he didn't become a turtle hiding in its shell when faced with a woman who might have just been playing games with him.

  "You're using so much energy, it's not just for playing with women, if you want to get money, don't push people to the end of the road."

  The dog stopped in its tracks, walked up to Cao Piet with a twisted brow and a "you're ridiculous" look on his face, suddenly swung his fist and gave Cao Piet a hard punch in the abdomen, causing him to open his mouth wide, his veins bulging as he clutched his stomach and doubled over.

  Dong Zhe was about to move when a gunshot rang out, and he fell to the ground with a bullet in his forehead, staring blankly ahead. What was astonishing was that there were no screams or cries of alarm at the scene. Hou Ya took advantage of the opportunity to tidy up her clothes, wrapping her arms around her chest as she stood beneath Jiang Xueyu and Zhang Shidong's feet. Jiang Xueyu had a big heart and remained calm and composed in critical moments.

  "Strip your clothes off yourself, either die or come crawling to me." The local dog unbuttoned his pants and exposed an ugly object, the muzzle pointing at Hou Ya.

  Boom!

  The black sheep was also knocked down and tied to a tree like Anan, the butt of the gun slammed more than a dozen times, and he fainted with a head full of blood.

  Hou Ya yielded, forced to yield in the face of death. She stripped off her clothes, knelt down on the ground littered with gravel, and walked up to the earth dog's front, burying her head between its two thighs. Tears rolled down from her eyes.

  Jiang Xueyu tightly grasped Zhang Shidong's arm, her fingernails digging into his flesh. She was also afraid; as a woman, what she feared most was undoubtedly this kind of scene.

  Another person walked up behind Hou Ya, grabbed her waist and made her stand upright, unbuttoned his pants and went straight to the door. Hou Ya's eyes widened in fear, but she didn't dare make any movement. On her forehead, the muzzle of a gun transmitted an icy cold temperature.

  "This is good, come over!" The crazy crowd must be like-minded people. After being discovered, Jiang Xueyu was treated the same way, with a gun pointed at her. Du Yuanmu, who stood in front of her, didn't move, and Jiang Yongnian roared: "Unless you don't want anything anymore." As he spoke, he stood in front of his daughter, blocking the muzzle.

  Bang bang, two gunstocks, knocked to the ground.

  "At this moment, Jiang Yongnian was desperate: 'How much money do you want? I'll give it to you, just don't touch my daughter.'"

  Someone stepped on his hand: "How much money, we said it counts, how to play, or we said it counts. Director Jiang, don't be in a hurry, we have a brother who will come soon, he likes Director Jiang's kind of real man."

  Du Yuan moved, but instead of blocking Jiang Xueyu's path, he took a step back.

  Jiang Xueyu gazed at his back, gave a bitter smile, and loosened her grip on Zhang Shidong's arm, pushing him gently to signal that he didn't have to pretend anymore, for in the face of death, everything was false.

  "Either shoot me dead or I'll kill myself." Jiang Xueyu pressed the dagger against her heart, she didn't blame Du Yuan nor Zhang Shidong, she had her own way of dealing with things and her own choices, and also the persistence that belonged to a proud woman, a woman who remained chaste until her twenties, in the face of life and persistence, she chose the latter.

  "Hey! Beautiful girl, I didn't say move over. Remember, when there's a man around, the man will take care of things naturally! These bastards are really asking for it, I haven't even had a chance to taste this tender little wood ear, and they dare to come over and sniff?"
