Inside the alley.

Wang Xiong, who treated outsiders like livestock, was now roaring with tears in his eyes, "Bro, we came out together, we're in this together. If we go, we go together! If we die, we die together!"

Wang Zhen slowly stood up, his voice trembling as he said, "I promised Mom and Dad I'd take care of you. With me around... I won't let you suffer any grievance! And I definitely won't watch you go to prison and do nothing. Listen to me, things have gotten this big. Someone has to take the fall. And you know...!"

"We'll run together! Screw Baolong, Huihong, what the military is doing?!" Wang Xiong roared, his eyes wide. "We have money, we have people...!"

"Listen to me!"

"I won't listen! We have to go together!"

"Little brother! Calm down, listen to me!" Wang Zhen grabbed his brother's shoulders, his voice hoarse. "You're right, we're not the same as before. We have money, we have choices! After we leave, find a safe place, be a rich man, that's good enough! Don't... don't let the Wang family bloodline end, understand?"

Wang Xiong watched his older brother break down.

"Go, send him away!" Wang Zhen turned around and headed straight for the most intense gunfire.

"Big brother!" Wang Xiong struggled and shouted, "If you don't get out, I'll blame myself for the rest of my life!"

Wang Zhen didn't turn back or reply, he just quickly walked towards the most intense gunfire.

Behind him, three soldiers forcibly dragged Wang Xiong, heading in another direction.

A minute later.

Wang Zhen hid behind a piece of cover, shouting into the walkie-talkie, "Everyone, converge on me, we're heading up the mountain!"

As the order was given, private armed soldiers hiding behind various pieces of cover immediately opened fire, sweeping across the area, protecting Wang Zhen as he tried to break through to the outside.

Not far away at the sniper position, Yao Doudou held his sniper rifle and called out clearly, "Old friend, Wang Zhen is trying to send someone out. Pay attention to the situation on your side!"

"Roger!"

"Everyone else, conserve ammunition, leave an opening, let Wang Zhen go up the mountain!" Yao Doudou continued to instruct, "Use up their ammunition, keep them stuck!"

"Yes!"

On the streets of the town, twenty-odd brothers protected Wang Zhen, fighting all the way, eventually losing six men before charging up the mountain.

On the other side.

Two pickup trucks rushed out of Fule Town, fleeing in opposite directions.

From the high point, Yao Doudou's brother, Lao You, fired three shots in a row, shattering the tires of the pickup truck fleeing to the left, and then immediately ran to adjust his position, arriving on the right side.

On the vast plain, the last pickup truck was still swerving on the road, retreating rapidly into the distance.

Inside the car, the soldier in the passenger seat, who had been involved in transportation before, kept shouting, "Throw smoke grenades, they're sniping us over here!"

"Bang!!"

A crisp gunshot rang out.

"Puff!!"

The head of a young man in the back seat of the car was instantly blown apart, and Wang Xiong, sitting next to him with a blank look, hadn't even reacted when the lower left side of his neck was pierced by a bullet!

"Second brother!!" the young man in the passenger seat shouted, "Throw the smoke grenades!"

Inside the car, Wang Xiong's eyes regained focus. He covered the wound with his left hand, but he couldn't stop the blood that was gushing out like a high-pressure water gun.

"Block it, the first-aid kit!!"

"...!" Wang Xiong swayed and fell into the back seat of the car, his mind dizzy. His old injuries hadn't healed and he had suffered new ones. Plus, the separation from his older brother had left him emotionally distraught, so he seemed to have lost the desire to live, slowly closed his eyes, and stopped moving.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Inside the mountain.

Su Tianyu, Yu Mingyuan, Da Bai and a dozen other people, carrying guns, slowly crept up behind Yao Doudou and the others.

"What's the situation now?" Su Tianyu asked in a low voice.

Yao Doudou turned his head and looked at him, "They have less than twenty people left, and they're almost out of ammunition. My men have them pinned down in a triangle formation. Now, we just need to charge once, and we can finish the job!"

"Thanks for your hard work!" Su Tianyu patted Yao Doudou on the shoulder.

"What do you think? Let's do it!" Yao Doudou's command style was both fierce and steady. He used ten men to restrain thirty of Wang Zhen's men, and none of his brothers were injured.

"Let's do it!" Su Tianyu nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to prepare.

"Beep beep!"

Just then, a cell phone rang out. Su Tianyu lowered his head, took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

...

Seven Island, in a dark underground room.

Big brother Su Tiannan knelt on the ground, with four people pressing on his shoulders. The light in the room was very dim. He lowered his head, covered in blood.

A middle-aged man stood next to Su Tiannan, holding a gun and speaking into the phone to Su Tianyu, "Mr. Su, we agreed to exchange hostages. Why did you bring armed men here?! Do you not want to live, or does Li Mingsheng not want to live?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?" Su Tianyu replied.

"Let's talk about a deal!"

"What right do you have to negotiate with me?" Su Tianyu asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man slowly squatted down, pointing the phone's camera at Su Tiannan's cheek, "I have him, is that enough?"

Inside the mountain, Su Tianyu looked at his older brother's face, and his heart skipped a beat. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

"I have three conditions! Release Karl, let Wang Zhen come back, and send me back the terminal, and I won't make things difficult for your brother." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "How about it, is this deal fair?"

After speaking, the middle-aged man pressed the gun to Su Tiannan's head.

...

At the same time.

On the sea, Hou Guoyu glanced at the high seas line on the map and immediately said to Chang Song, "We're not going over there! Let's separate here. I'll take my men and land directly from the side."

Chang Song looked at him and said with a smile, "Let's go to the ship together. We've done such a big thing together! We should at least have a drink!"

"No, my boss told me to go back. Never mind, maybe another time!" Hou Guoyu also replied with a smile.

The two men looked at each other. Chang Song slowly put his arm around Hou Guoyu's neck and asked with a squint, "What's wrong? Brother, are you not giving me face!"

Hou Guoyu's right hand pointed a pistol directly at Chang Song's waist, "...Can you give me some face?"

The two men looked at each other.

On the speedboat, both sides stood up, each picking up their weapons.

At the stern of the ship, Fei Guangtou saw that the situation was so delicate, and immediately stood up and shouted into the sea breeze, "Two brothers!! Can you give me some face? Don't screw things up, the boat's about to capsize!"

"You can't leave!" Chang Song said to Hou Guoyu, "The ownership of the terminal hasn't been clarified yet!"

"The terminal isn't with me, it was sent away long ago." Hou Guoyu replied.

"Then you have to stay as guests!"

"...!" Hou Guoyu blinked, "What if I insist on leaving?!"
