Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1157 - 686: Automatic Exposure

The man pretending to be an old crone glared fiercely at the woman who betrayed Luo Ye: "Yao Cuixian, the boss will never let you off, just wait!"

The woman shrank back, looking pleadingly at Luo Ye: "Chief, I’ve told you everything I know, you... you must protect me."

Luo Ye comfortingly patted her and looked towards the villagers who appeared anxious, explaining in simple terms, "We are the liberation army, and we will definitely protect everyone. So, from now on, everyone should stay here at ease, and after tomorrow, everyone’s life will be more free and happier."

"Long live Chairman Mao!" An old man raised his fist and shouted.

"Grandpa, we don’t shout that now." A young fellow hurriedly corrected him.

"Then what should we shout? Without Chairman Mao, where would be the good days we have now? Laddie, one must not forget their roots..." The old man’s muttering made everyone’s lips twitch, and Luo Ye seemed to inadvertently stride into the crowd. Everyone naturally made way for her.

"You... you dare come closer, I’ll kill him!"

A knife suddenly was pressed against the young man’s neck who was being scolded by the old man. The hostage-taker was a tall, strong man in his forties, and behind him was a pile of firewood, giving him a convenient cover.

"Oh?" Luo Ye’s lips curved into a smile, shaking her head, "It seems like your wolf organization doesn’t train its people well. I haven’t even said anything, and you’re already rattled."

"Stop talking nonsense, let me out, or even if I die, I’ll take someone down with me!" The man said fiercely, glaring at the betrayer, "Yao Cuixian, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!"

"Did I say I want you dead?" Luo Ye chuckled twice, "Let him go. Now, you still have a chance. Just tell me what you know, and I can assure you, in a few years, you can be as free as a normal person!"

"I don’t believe you!" The man laughed mockingly, "You all say that when capturing people, but once caught, your words mean nothing. Do you think I’m a fool? Confession leading to leniency, that’s all lies!"

Luo Ye spread her hands: "It’s up to you, I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me. But what Miss Yao told me earlier, and what you have in mind are two different things.

I came over just to be cautious, intentionally probing, but you jumped out impatiently. Is this not also called a guilty conscience?"

A hint of regret flashed in the man’s eyes, and the grip on the knife tightened, "Don’t move forward, let everyone step aside and let me out. I tell you, any movement from you all, and I will kill him instantly!"

"Save... save me, liberation army, you can’t let me... die like this, save... save me..."

The blade cut into the skin, blood streamed down the neck, and the clear moonlight onto the young man’s pale cheeks appeared incredibly gruesome.

The villagers instinctively stepped back, staring anxiously at Luo Ye. At that moment, they all had a thought, perhaps this seemingly fragile girl can save Gui Zi (nickname for the annual folk).

"Be careful, she has... um..." The man pretending to be an old crone started to speak, but was choked by Shan Gang.

"Quick!" The knife pressed further down, causing Gui Zi to howl in fear, "Liberation army, save me or I’m truly dead!"

The old man who had shouted "Long live Chairman Mao" trembled his beard: "Gui Zi, don’t be a coward!"

"Grandpa..." Gui Zi’s voice trembled like a string being snapped on a violin.

The old man stood firm: "If you are my grandchild, stand up straight, live gloriously, die grandly, remember?"

Luo Ye’s lips twitched, these words, such a grandpa, could probably only be seen in places like this, sigh...

After being yelled at by the old man, Gui Zi became much calmer, his voice more composed: "Sixth Brother, we’ve always gotten along well, I’ve always thought of you as a brother, how can you hurt me?

We don’t have any deep hatred, dying together just isn’t worth it. Listen to me, living well is the way to marry a wife and have good days..."

"Shut up, who’s your brother?" The man looked displeased at Luo Ye, "I see now, you’re the leader here, so what’s the plan? Give me a straight answer, if we keep dragging on, I’ll just kill him!"

Luo Ye nodded: "Fine, I’ll let you go."

The man furrowed his brows: "I don’t believe you!"

"Then what do you want me to do to believe me?"

"Put down your guns, squat on the ground, hands on your head."

"Impossible!" Luo Ye shook her head, "You should know, we can’t do such actions. Rest assured, since I promised to let you go, my word stands.

If someone really pulls the trigger, don’t you think you’d notice? If you strike with the knife, will Gui Zi survive? I think you should know that we wouldn’t dare take such a risk.

Of course, after you return to your troops, the final outcome isn’t under my control. Also, once out of this neck of woods, let Gui Zi go, okay?"

The man pointed at the captured dozen: "Let them all go, we’ll leave together."

"I have no objection, but whether they want to go with you should be up to them, right?" Luo Ye looked at the detained crowd, "Anyone willing to leave with him can step out."

"I’m not going!" the betrayer shook her head first.

"Nor am I." The man who was with the woman also refused.

The others exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously shaking their heads, leaving only the man disguised as an old man. Luo Ye cast him a glance: "You want to go, but you can’t!"

The man roared wildly: "Why, I just want Zhuang Zidong..."

The voice cut off abruptly, "Clang!" The knife fell to the ground, and the man stood fixed like a statue, several silver needles glistening under the moonlight. Gui Zi froze for a moment before hurriedly stepping forward, darting away from the man.

Li Jinqiang and Li Baoxiang quickly stepped forward and carried the man to the pile of captured individuals.

The villagers looked at Luo Ye with eyes full of admiration. These are the abilities that used to only exist in mythical tales told by the elders, and now they’ve actually witnessed it for real.

Gui Zi’s grandpa scrutinized Luo Ye: "Girl, are you an immortal?"

Luo Ye chuckled and shook her head: "Grandpa, there’s no immortal in this world."

Smacking his lips, the old man’s gaze grew even more fervent: "Your ability is truly like that of an immortal. Girl, do you have a husband?"

"Uh..."

Before Luo Ye could answer, the old man pointed at Gui Zi, who was being bandaged: "My grandson, he’s twenty-one this year and hasn’t gotten engaged yet. Girl, how do you find him?"

Gui Zi looked up with a foolish smile, only to have his head turned around by Shan Gang: "Don’t move!"

"Girl, how about it?" The old man eagerly repeated.

"Grandpa, Gui Zi is a good kid, I’m not suitable." Luo Ye said as she dashed forward as if fleeing, calling out to Shan Gang: "Hand this over to Group One and Group Two, let’s leave immediately."

"Yes!" Shan Gang replied, patting Gui Zi, "Kiddo, rest well for another two days, eat a few eggs, and you’ll be fine."

"Mm." Gui Zi responded, gazing longingly at Luo Ye’s back, "She saved me, I should repay her. The liberation army can’t become my wife, can they?"

Shan Gang staggered at his feet: "Well, after we complete the mission, you can talk to her."

"Mm." Gui Zi replied again, retreating in front of the old man, "Grandpa, I guess not. Judging by their demeanor, it’s probably not gonna happen..."

"Ah, such a good wife..." The old man sighed, "No worries, a good girl fears a relentless man. Once this is over, go out and work. Wherever that girl is, follow her."

"Mm."

The leader of Group One couldn’t bear to hear any more and glared at the grandfather and grandson: "Our captain isn’t someone you can speak offhand about. She’s generous enough not to hold a grudge. Are you going to stop or not?"

"You’re just jealous that she saved Gui Zi." The old man patted his grandson again, "Don’t listen to him, we’ve made our minds up and won’t change."

"Mm."

The team members exchanged a silent glance, then secretly checked Luo Ye’s expression.

Luo Ye coughed heavily, looking at Shan Gang: "Let’s go."

Shan Gang worriedly approached Luo Ye, whispering: "Captain, what if there are more undercover operatives, and..." pointing at the captured dozen, "them...what do we do?"

"Don’t worry, those people won’t be moving for at least four hours." Luo Ye said while patting the woman who confessed, "Bear with it a bit, you won’t regret it."

"Yes, yes!" The woman nods repeatedly, thinking, can I say no? At this point, is there any way out?

Seeing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Luo Ye leaned towards her ear: "I could let you go, but you’d have to bear the consequences yourself."

"No, no..." The woman shook her head repeatedly, she wouldn’t dare agree, if something went wrong, they’d assume she leaked the information, making all she did in vain!

"You’ll regret it!" The man disguised as an old man warned again viciously. Luo Ye swiftly turned back around after taking two steps, kicked him to the ground, and flicked her hand, a shiny silver needle twirling directly on his face...

"Are you bold enough to speak recklessly again?" Luo Ye squatted down, staring straight at him, "With all the things you’ve done, you’ve harmed your descendants for eight generations, yet you have the face to act arrogantly here?

I’ll tell you, she definitely won’t be the one regretting, as for whether you’ll regret it, I can’t say, but you’ll definitely pay the price for everything you’ve done!"

"Captain Luo, what if those people have more undercover operatives, and we’re relying only on Yongjin and those dozen..." Once out of the mountain gorge, Shan Gang worriedly asked again.

Luo Ye smiled: "Don’t worry, we came so suddenly, they didn’t have time to plan. Trust me." She had seen this case file in her past life, naturally knowing how many undercover operatives there were, but she couldn’t tell Shan Gang, thus she had to use this reason.
