Chapter 1156 - 685: A Scheme Within a Scheme?
"Ah? This... this... this..." Li Baoxiang was so surprised that he couldn’t speak, watching the eighty-something old man turn into a forty-something strong man.
"Got carried away, didn’t you?" Luo Ye stared disdainfully at the man. "Originally, your makeup was really good, and your performance was very convincing, but alas..."
"Captain, we’re ready, this is..." Liu Pingjiang, who brought over people from the other two families, saw the middle-aged man and had the same expression as Li Baoxiang.
After carefully observing the two families brought by Liu Pingjiang, Luo Ye waved his hand: "Send them all to the grain threshing ground."
"Okay!" As soon as the response fell, the two male heads of the families keeled straight back, and the first reaction of the female head wasn’t to help but to run. Luo Ye extended her leg, and with a "thud" "thud", the two were tripped and fell to the ground.
"Captain Luo..." Li Baoxiang, coming back to his senses, looked at Luo Ye hesitantly, "Are they... are all of them from the other side? Does this mean there are still hidden wolves in the village?"
"Definitely." Luo Ye coldly examined the strong man disguised as an old man, then fiercely stomped on his fingers. "Hiss hiss..." With his acupoints still sealed, the man’s facial features distorted but he couldn’t make a sound. The four people from the other two families looked horrified; this girl seemed soft and gentle, yet her methods were cruel...
Luo Ye sized up the people and helped a woman unblock her acupoints.
"I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, ask me anything and I’ll tell you..."
Luo Ye looked at her expressionlessly: "How many more like you are there around here?"
"There are six families in total; people in the village don’t know what we do, only that we are somewhat familiar with those from the other side," the woman hurriedly replied.
"Hiss hiss..." The man disguised as the old man made a louder sound from his throat, his eyes turning fierce as he looked at the woman.
Luo Ye kicked him over: "I knew you were the most troublesome, get over there."
The man rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Captain Luo, he’s passed out." Jin Qiang reminded.
Luo Ye turned back and gave a faint glance: "Wake him up!"
"Yes!" Jin Qiang responded excitedly, swung his arm in a wide arc, and slapped the man’s cheek hard. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth; as soon as he was about to land another slap, the man slowly woke up, reflexively spitting out blood from his mouth, along with two teeth, his face twisting even more.
Meanwhile, the woman had marked the positions of all six families; apart from the three here, there were three more over at Shan Gang.
"Li Baoxiang, Liu Pingjiang, Zhang Jialiang, Li Yutong."
"Present!"
"Shan Gang should be arriving here shortly; you four cooperate with him to bring those three families to the grain threshing ground." Luo Ye instructed.
"Yes!"
"Li Jinqiang, escort them back to the grain threshing ground."
"Yes!" Li Jinqiang responded, a little troubled; would these people cooperate? — In a flash, he swallowed his doubts when Lady Luo tied all four together with one rope and threatened: "If anyone dares not to move, I’ll make sure they stay here forever."
Given her earlier methods, the few were already scared witless; how could they not cooperate? At her words, eight legs took off, eager to fly forward.
"Poof..."
Luo Ye shouted urgently: "Duck down." Several bullets whizzed past close to their scalps, and the others didn’t dare to stand up again. "Crawl forward," Luo Ye ordered.
In such a moment, life was paramount, and the five captured people cooperated well by bending low and crawling forward.
"Now you understand, you’re just a pawn to be sacrificed. Knowing full well that you were caught by me and are with me now, they still deliberately conducted blanket fire on us. Is it worth risking your lives for such employers?"
"Not worth it, I’ll do whatever you instruct, as long as it’s within my power," the confessing woman said.
"I suspect that’s about all you have; I won’t trouble you further. Crawl properly so you don’t get hurt."
"Thank you." The woman lowered her body more and crawled faster.
Twenty minutes later, Li Baoxiang and the others, along with Shan Gang, bringing the remaining three families and escorting ordinary villagers, also reached the grain threshing ground. Over a hundred households, more than three hundred people, stood crowded in the open courtyard.
The grain threshing ground was located in a mountain cove behind the village, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one entrance. Holding it meant security was guaranteed.
Luo Ye revived the five people using needles: "You all know your positions within the wolf pack. Whether to leave yourself an escape route or continue down a dark path, you should make your choices."
"I’ll give you three minutes to redeem yourselves— the opportunity is in front of you; whether you grasp it depends on your choices."
"I’ll talk!" Another woman quickly stepped forward, "Our six families moved to the center of the village five years ago; we don’t go over there often. The big boss placed us here to foster good relationships with the villagers and gradually develop more members."
"I can confirm what she said is true," the man living with the woman quickly supported, genuinely like a husband echoing his wife.
"I’ll speak too..."
"And me..."
"..."
Like spilling beans, the undercover agents revealed all they knew.
"I want to know, how did you find out?" the man disguised as the old man asked in a low voice.
Luo Ye smiled faintly: "Initially, I believed you, but unfortunately, you overacted and inadvertently showed your hidden teeth.
By the way, I forgot to mention, my eyesight is excellent, and even the smallest flaw doesn’t escape my eyes.
Or did you think we were young and easy to fool, planning to play us? Alas, you ended up selling yourself out. Do you regret it now?"
The man’s head stiffened: "To the victor go the spoils; do whatever you want with me, but don’t expect to extract a single word."
"There’s nothing worth extracting; letting you talk was just an opportunity for redemption, nothing more. Don’t think I need your useless intelligence.
Ha! You’re giving yourself way too much credit. I was just waiting for enough people to gather before giving you a chance. Since you don’t value it, I won’t force you. Just hope you won’t regret it too much when sentencing comes." Glancing inside, she said, "Fire the signal!"
"Yes!" Shan Gang responded, pulling out a signal flare.
Noticing a flicker of satisfaction in the disguised old man’s eyes, Luo Ye gestured at Shan Gang to hold off: "Wait a bit on the signal."
The first informant hesitated for a moment and whispered something in Luo Ye’s ear, which brought a smile to Luo Ye’s lips: "Good, very good. You’ll definitely be glad for making such a wise decision."
