Chapter 90: Chapter 90 He Fell
However, the truck only stopped outside for a mont before it quickly drove away.
Su ixi didn’t know what was happening outside, she only heard the sound of the vehicle gradually fading.
“The boss, they’re gone,” the lookout criminal said.
The criminals all heaved a sigh of relief, then the one guarding Su ixi ordered her. “Hurry up and go save him.”
Su ixi then stitched up the injured criminal again.
Just as she finished stitching, soone outside shouted. “Is Uncle Ti here?”
...
It was spoken in the local accent, but the voice was Gu Wei’s!
Su ixi paused, wanting to shout loudly, “Gu Wei, I’m here!”
But she couldn’t.
Reason told her, she must not act rashly.
She could only pretend she hadn’t heard.
Gu Wei was calling for the shepherd’s house’s male owner.
The male owner knew soone outside was calling him, but he didn’t know who it was. With the criminals inside, he dared not respond for the mont.
He could only look at the criminals inside.
The lookout criminal questioned Gu Wei. “Who are you?”
“Hey, who are you? I haven’t seen you around here before,” Gu Wei purposely switched to poor Mandarin.
“I… am a relative of this family.”
“Where’s Uncle Ti then? He said just yesterday that he was bringing him a leg of lamb today, turns out there’s a guest at ho,” Gu Wei said warmly as he barged inside.
“You can’t co in…”
The criminal hadn’t stopped him, and Gu Wei had already barged in.
Su ixi glanced and saw Gu Wei dressed in the local’s attire, carrying a leg of lamb on his shoulder and holding a sheep’s head in his hand, indistinguishable from the locals.
But upon seeing everyone in the room, it seed Gu Wei only then realized, dropping the lamb leg and head in fear.
“My god, what’s going on here? I didn’t see anything, Uncle Ti, I’m leaving!”
Gu Wei pretended to be frightened and acted as if he was going to leave, but he was stopped by the lookout criminal.
“Boss, what do we do with this guy?” the lookout asked.
The criminal boss glared fiercely at Gu Wei.
Before he could decide, Gu Wei trembled and asked. “Are you… are you hungry? How about I make you… roast lamb leg?”
These people had arrived at midnight and had only eaten the leftovers from the shepherd’s family, naturally they were hungry now.
Hearing Gu Wei’s suggestion, the leader nodded and then ordered the other two criminals. “Keep an eye on him, don’t let him run. If he dares to run, slaughter him!”
The shepherd’s family normally cooked outside in a pot and then brought it inside.
Gu Wei, taking the lamb leg and head, went outside with those two criminals. Only Gu Wei’s voice was heard saying, “This lamb needs to be blanched in boiling water first to remove the gaminess, add a handful of pepper, star anise, and bay leaves…”
But after a while, there were no more sounds, only the scent of lamb wafted in.
The criminal boss’s mouth watered, he shouted. “Is the lamb ready?”
Only Gu Wei’s voice replied, “Almost, almost.”
The leader sent another criminal out to check.
Gu Wei’s voice ca through. “Do you want to eat too? Co, have a bowl, it’s delicious.”
The criminal didn’t return.
Gu Wei spoke loudly again. “I said, it slls good, right? Take your ti and enjoy.”
Thinking that those few n were really eating outside, the leader angrily sent the last two n out to check.
But those who went out did not return.
There were still three criminals left inside.
The leader now felt sothing was wrong. Not just him, Su ixi and the shepherd’s family realized sothing had happened outside. Those few n had likely been dealt with by Gu Wei.
“Quick, take care of that guy outside!” the leader commanded the two n.
But those two n dared not, as those who just went out had not returned.
The leader angrily shouted, then pointed a gun at the shepherd family’s male owner. “Tell , who exactly is that person outside?”
The male owner, trembling, stamred. “I—I don’t know, I don’t recognize him!”
It must be the police or military then!
Otherwise, no one would have such skills.
The leader was about to grab soone to take as a hostage, and the nearest to him was Su ixi.
Just like that, Su ixi wasn’t surprisingly grabbed and had the gun’s muzzle pressed against her neck.
Su ixi trembled all over, ntally forcing herself to stay calm!
At the door, Gu Wei ca in, his gaze landing on Su ixi.
Su ixi also looked at him at that mont.
She didn’t know if he had any more tricks to get her out?
But survival is a human instinct, so she still eagerly looked at him, hoping he could save her.
“Don’t co any closer, or there will be casualties here, sothing you military n don’t want to see, right?” the leader fiercely said.
Gu Wei, raising his hands, feigned surrender.
He indeed didn’t want to see any casualties here.
Seeing Gu Wei’s weak spot, the leader told the remaining two, “Go, tie him up, we’ll handle him slowly later!”
The two criminals saw Gu Wei didn’t move, so they picked up a rope to tie him.
However, before they could get close, Gu Wei spun around and knocked them down.
The leader hadn’t reacted yet when Gu Wei had already rushed up to him, grabbing his gun-wielding wrist.
His movents were so fast that even Su ixi couldn’t clearly see how he had moved; she only felt the force on her body loosen, and the next second she was in Gu Wei’s arms.
Next, he almost simultaneously embraced her and knocked the leader down.
His force was so imnse that the criminals he knocked down could hardly rise, the leader especially passed out on the floor.
Su ixi felt like she had been reborn after the ordeal; she couldn’t help but breathe deeply to prevent herself from fainting due to a racing heart.
Gu Wei pulled her aside and then bound the shepherd’s family, urging them to leave quickly.
Then he tightly tied up the remaining criminals inside and called Xiao Ding to co over.
After finishing these tasks, he walked over to Su ixi and asked. “Are you okay?”
Su ixi shook her head. “I’m fine.”
But she was still terrified.
She never expected to undergo such a thrilling event at the border; being a soldier is not easy, and neither is being a border police officer.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you back,” Gu Wei put his arm around her shoulder, and she didn’t refuse.
At the mont they stepped out the door, for so reason, she inexplicably looked back.
Just then, she suddenly saw the seriously injured criminal had woken up and was holding the gun that Gu Wei had knocked out of his hand.
“Gu…” Su ixi instinctively stepped in front of Gu Wei.
However, Gu Wei moved faster than her, swiftly pulling her behind him.
Only the sound “Bang” was heard as the force of the impact sent Gu Wei tumbling backward.
Perhaps it was an instinctual reaction, but as he fell, he threw Su ixi’s thermos at the criminal, hitting him and permanently silencing him.
However, at that mont, Gu Wei also lost consciousness, collapsing beside Su ixi.
