Yao Dong's voice was loud, echoing throughout the mountains and fields, heard by everyone.
Below the slope, fifty to sixty meters away, four men were just about to jump down another cliff and head towards the road to find their car.
Yao Dong's shout caused the four men to glance down towards the road. Indeed, two figures were striding towards them, both carrying weapons. They were about to reach the exit of the mountain before them, blocking their escape.
"Damn it all!"
"Brother Bald, what do we do now?"
A young man with a face full of pimples asked, turning back. This Brother Bald was the same bald man who had been collecting debts at the construction site not long ago. This time, Han Shifei had sent him to Ning County on a mission.
With pursuers behind and two more 'tigers' blocking their path ahead, it was like adding insult to injury. Baldy's old face had already turned as dark as water, he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat that trickled to the corner of his mouth.
Especially when he saw that Qin Chuan was one of the two who had suddenly appeared, he became even more enraged. A fierce glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Qin Chuan's appearance made Baldy involuntarily recall the humiliating incident not long ago. Although he had indeed collected eighty thousand yuan, they had been extorted for one hundred thousand yuan.
Afterward, Han Shifei had severely punished him, stripping him of many of his powers. His status had greatly diminished, leading many to mock him.
From an frontline operative, he had become a mere second-rate character.
Last night, upon learning of a major operation, Baldy had finally begged for a chance to redeem himself and was then dispatched to Ning County.
To Baldy's surprise, Qin Chuan had indeed changed his route and was heading towards the area he was guarding. When he saw the transport vehicle, Baldy was ecstatic.
He immediately led his men in a chaotic assault, only leaving regretfully when the police arrived.
However, to Baldy's surprise, as they were observing the situation from a hilltop, the police had crept up behind them, and they were even accompanied by Qin Chuan's security guards.
With their numbers depleted, they wisely chose to flee.
This was Ning County, not Yongnan County!
No matter how bold they were, they wouldn't dare to attack the Ning County police, or the consequences would be too severe!
Thus, they had run from that mountain to this one, almost to exhaustion.
They had intended to take a long detour and go back to get their car and leave, but they didn't expect another accident to occur, with their path blocked by Qin Chuan and his men.
Seeing Qin Chuan blocking the only exit below, Baldy's old and new grudges surged to his mind. His eyes gradually filled with bloodshot fury, a rage laced with murderous intent.
"Damn you, Qin! Since you're looking for death, don't blame me!"
With a burst of ferocity, Baldy pulled out a sharp dagger from behind his back and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!! Whoever dares to block our path, we'll stab them to death!"
With that, he led the way, leaping from the cliff. His burly figure, like a wild beast, charged directly towards Qin Chuan and Feng Lei.
Behind him, his three subordinates also erupted with ferocity, closely following. Each of them now held a similar dagger, their actions clearly indicating they were repeat offenders!
"Boss, be careful! They have knives!!"
The five security guards of Yao Dong, who were chasing from behind, saw the glinting blades in the hands of Baldy and his three men and immediately shouted anxiously. At the same time, they accelerated their pace. The two police officers also saw this, and their expressions changed drastically.
Previously, the chase was just a chase, and Baldy's group had not revealed any weapons, so it was at most an ordinary case. But now, the nature of the situation had completely changed.
Under a multitude of tense gazes, Baldy and his three men below had already engaged Qin Chuan and Feng Lei, who were standing at the road's entrance, in close combat.
To everyone's surprise, Feng Lei did not retreat at the critical moment. Instead, he gritted his teeth and chose to confront them head-on!
There were no fancy moves, no hesitation. As soon as they met, both sides swung their weapons almost simultaneously, striking at each other.
Bang!!
Bang!!
Two thuds of heavy objects hitting flesh rang out. Relying on the length of their weapons, Qin Chuan and Feng Lei struck first at those who approached them.
One wielded a crowbar, the other a long wrench – both heavy metal objects, excellent weapons for a fight. With just one blow, Baldy and another man who took the hit grimaced in pain.
However, Baldy was indeed fierce. The pain did not make him retreat; instead, it made him more brutal. With bloodshot eyes, he swung his dagger, aiming to stab Qin Chuan's body.
"You motherfucker, you're fighting like your life is on the line!"
Qin Chuan was startled and quickly retreated, creating distance.
"Feng Lei, don't go head-to-head with them, these guys are crazy!"
Their goal was simple: to tie up Baldy's group and delay them until Yao Dong and the two police officers arrived. Who would be foolish enough to trade blows?
Qin Chuan was worried about Feng Lei's safety. He glanced back amidst the chaos and found that Feng Lei was even more agile than he was. After hitting one of the henchmen with the wrench, he immediately sprinted away, already several meters distant.
The henchman who was hit was furious and was chasing after him with a knife.
"Damn it, I worried for nothing!"
Qin Chuan chuckled wryly at the sight. However, he quickly followed Feng Lei's example and started running, resolutely avoiding direct confrontation.
When Yao Dong's group of five and the two police officers arrived anxiously, they witnessed a rather dramatic scene.
Baldy and his three men were chasing Qin Chuan and Feng Lei, running in circles on the road.
"Let's go together!!"
"They all have knives, be careful!"
The two police officers drew their batons from their belts. Yao Dong's group, finding themselves unarmed, immediately scanned their surroundings and quickly found suitable 'weapons'.
This was a wild, treeless area, filled with fallen branches and twigs, many covered in dense thorns – perfect for a fight, even more potent than knives.
On the road, Baldy and his three men were chasing Qin Chuan and Feng Lei. Glancing back, they saw Yao Dong's group descending. They could no longer afford to pursue their quarry and immediately bolted, attempting to escape.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan and Feng Lei, who had been the ones being chased, let out a roar and counter-attacked, causing the situation to change dramatically once again.
Baldy and his group ran ahead, with Qin Chuan, Feng Lei, Yao Dong's five men, and the two police officers in hot pursuit.
Nine against four, that's two people chasing one with one person left over!
Qin Chuan and Feng Lei were the fresh reinforcements. Their stamina far surpassed the others. After a short run on the road, the two of them gradually caught up.
Without a word, Qin Chuan raised his crowbar and brought it down hard on one of the man's backs.
Thump!
The opponent took a blow from the crowbar and collapsed, falling to the ground.
Feng Lei, following suit, knocked another down with his wrench. His motivation for striking was eighty percent revenge.
The two fallen men were immediately subdued, their faces contorted in despair!
"Boss, make way, let me!"
Yao Dong charged up from behind. Qin Chuan turned back, astonished to see Yao Dong holding a long branch, about two meters long and as thick as an adult's arm, with numerous thorns at the tip.
Veins bulged on his dark, sturdy arm. After a few quick strides, he swung the branch in a wide arc.
Baldy and the remaining subordinate, who were running ahead, were caught off guard and tripped by the branch, falling and grimacing in pain.
Subsequently, they were swarmed by the group and pinned to the ground, completely captured!
