"Devil King’s escape was purely accidental! You can rest assured, I guarantee that I will capture him, and there will be no change to the plan."
Chuan Er spoke with certainty, and his tone was resolute, as if filled with confidence.
Gu Tong couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows, momentarily and barely noticeable, but her smile remained as she said, "Then I shall wait for your good news!"
Her expression didn’t change at all, but inside, she was deeply puzzled! She wondered why Chuan Er was so confident that he could definitely capture Li Yan!
Could it be that he has some hidden card?
In her past life, she had no knowledge of these events and their crucial details, but she hasn’t given up on analyzing them. No matter what, she must uncover the truth; that is her ultimate goal.
"Miss Xue Tong, rest assured!"
Chuan Er patted his chest with confidence, considering the situation thoroughly. He glanced back at his men and said, "Prepare the team, let’s move out immediately and capture the Devil King!"
Everyone responded promptly, and no one dared to delay, as this matter concerned everyone’s lives and there could be no mistakes.
After Chuan Er finished speaking, he didn’t act immediately because he knew there was another matter unresolved—the issue with Gu Tong.
If he left her here, he would feel uneasy, but if he dealt with her, he feared cutting off his retreat!
In such circumstances, he was truly in a dilemma. After pondering, he glanced over at the village entrance, where he saw Tie San sitting on the ground, his face pale, holding his freshly bandaged hand!
Damn! What a useless fool!
Chuan Er cursed inwardly and said, "Tie San! Take your men and escort Miss Xue Tong to her room to rest!"
If it weren’t a critical moment and Chuan Er lacking manpower, he would have dealt with Tie San long ago. Even the act of hitting him with that object showed his intentions clearly.
Tie San shuddered, his pale face turning livid. He dared not defy Chuan Er’s orders because he lacked the qualification...
In the face of overwhelming strength, resistance only leads to a dead end.
Tie San endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes!"
No matter how much he hated it, he couldn’t show it. Everything was for survival, and he had no better choice.
Chuan Er glanced at him, feeling a chill at Tie San’s actions! Keeping someone like him around was a disaster waiting to happen. He was determined not to keep him by his side.
In the future, he would find an appropriate opportunity to eliminate him; this was Chuan Er’s biggest thought.
They passed by each other, each harboring sinister intentions. To put it bluntly, they wished the other would never see the sun again. Such is the survival philosophy among bandits—there is no one you can trust in this world.
"Miss Xue Tong, please!"
The silhouette of Chuan Er’s departure became a fleeting shadow, while Tie San’s voice already resonated next to Gu Tong. Sweat trickled down Tie San’s forehead, all due to the pain, and he gritted his teeth tightly, his expression extremely grim.
Only then did Gu Tong withdraw her gaze, yet she didn’t spare Tie San a glance, instead saying calmly, "Let’s go!"
Even if staying in this place, she dared not act rashly; otherwise, her own safety would be at risk. She must proceed steadily and slowly solve this matter, ensuring Li Yan doesn’t get hurt again has become her sole belief!
