101: Chapter 101 Salvation!
Half a day passed. Pang Lei lay on the ground, covered in blood, his breathing faint and shallow.
Beside him, Vivian was drenched in sweat from exhaustion, hands on her slender waist as she gasped for air.
"Phew~ Why is beating someone up so tiring?"
Vivian grumbled, then noticed Qin Mo staring at her in shock, causing her to blush.
"Um... that wasn't me just now. I'm usually quite a lady."
Qin Mo nodded subconsciously.
"Ah, right, right, right! You're very much a lady."
He spoke while glancing at the blood-covered Pang Lei nearby...
Vivian noticed his gaze and immediately began to fidget, desperate to salvage her image...
"Really! I'm truly a lady normally. I'm a model young woman! I even help old ladies cross the street whenever I can, though... sometimes I help them across the wrong way..."
"But I'm still doing a good deed!"
Qin Mo rolled his eyes at her words.
I'll thank you on behalf of the old ladies! You're a real Living King of Hell. They already have trouble walking, and after finally making it across, you drag them back...
"Mhm! I believe you!"
"You might believe me on the surface, but you definitely don't in your heart."
"I believe you in my heart, too."
"Really?"
"Definitely. I swear!"
"Then go ahead and swear!"
...
"You won't even swear; you definitely don't believe me."
"I really do believe you."
"I don't believe that you believe me. Even if you believe me on the surface, you definitely don't in your heart!"
"I really do believe you in my heart!"
"I don't believe it unless you swear!"
...
"You..."
"Ahem... Um, excuse me, but was that beauty just now—the one holding a spiked wooden club and beating him like he killed her father—was that my wife?"
"User above, you've got some nerve! Aren't you afraid she'll rip your skull off?"
"Is this the legendary 'Sing and Weep' beauty?"
"User above, what do you mean by that? What's 'Sing and Weep'?"
"It means when she gets angry, she makes others sing 'Conquer' while weeping. Hence, 'Sing and Weep'!"
"Holy crap! That's deep!"
"Awesome! To be honest, my wife is a total T-Rex. I've sung 'Conquer' plenty of times!"
"Bro, for real? Let me know the next time you're singing it; let's do a duet!"
"User above, what's the story there?"
"Let's just say, I have a broken leg, and my wife did it!"
"Holy crap? Bro, your wife is that violent? What was it for?"
"Sigh... It was because I didn't satisfy her..."
"Holy crap! Bro, I've got great stamina! Seven times a night is no problem! I can take your place!!"
"I can too!"
"Same here!"
"Count me in!"
...
"Wait, did no one notice the Streamer disarming him barehanded and taking him down in one move?"
"That's just a drop in the bucket! You must be new here, bro. In a one-on-one, call him Martial Arts Master Brother Mo!"
...
On the other side, Li Ming was leading a group of Uncle Hats toward the direction of the gunshots at high speed.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Those in the back, keep up."
Li Ming's face was incredibly grim. With so many gunshots just now, he had already prepared for the worst. He was even considering whether to defy his superiors' orders and execute the criminal on the spot to avenge Qin Mo.
"Report, Captain Li! There are groans of pain ahead. It seems someone is there."
Just then, an Uncle Hat ran over and whispered.
"What did you say?"
Li Ming was overjoyed. Those groans of pain could very well be Qin Mo; he might still be alive!
At that thought, Li Ming roared, "Half of you flank them! The other half, cut off their retreat! If a single person gets away, I'll hold you all responsible!"
"Yes, sir!"
With that, the group charged forward with a roar.
Qin Mo was staring blankly at Pang Lei on the ground, wondering how to get him out of there.
This guy was a leader of sorts; handing him over to Li Ming should yield some information. Meanwhile, Vivian was still angry that Qin Mo wouldn't swear.
"Freeze! Put your hands up!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, startling both Qin Mo and Vivian.
The next moment, a group of Uncle Hats surrounded them, pointing their guns at them.
Qin Mo and Vivian didn't even have time to react before instinctively raising their hands.
Once everyone saw Qin Mo clearly, they were stunned, frozen in place.
"Hahaha..."
"Did we get them?"
Just then, a loud laugh echoed as Li Ming ran over quickly. But when he saw Qin Mo, his laughter stopped abruptly...
"You... you're still alive?"
At those words, Qin Mo's face darkened instantly.
He looked at Li Ming expressionlessly, his molars nearly grinding to dust.
Anyone who was asked why they weren't dead yet the moment someone saw them would probably want to deliver a sharp slap...
"This... this, this..."
Finally, Li Ming realized that the handsome young man standing before him really was Qin Mo. He stepped forward in delight.
"Everyone! Lower your weapons!"
Hearing this, everyone lowered their guns.
Qin Mo looked at the beaming Li Ming and said irritably, "What are you guys doing here?"
Li Ming replied with a hint of anger, "Nonsense! You were kidnapped—how could I not come?"
Qin Mo pointed around with a dark expression and said:
"So this is how you help me? By pointing guns at my head?"
"Well..."
Li Ming rubbed his head sheepishly, looking completely embarrassed.
"Mistook you! My bad, my bad!"
Qin Mo rolled his eyes helplessly, then looked at Pang Lei on the ground. "This guy should know a lot. Take him in for questioning. I avoided his vitals; he won't die for now."
Li Ming looked at Qin Mo with admiration.
It wasn't hard to tell from the surroundings just how brutal the battle had been.
He had prepared for the worst, but not only was Qin Mo safe and sound, he had even neutralized the enemy without a scratch.
This kind of achievement was beyond what an ordinary person could do.
"What are you staring at me for?"
Seeing the dazed Li Ming, Qin Mo frowned.
"Uh... No... nothing!"
Li Ming waved his hand, then shot a glance at the Uncle Hats nearby.
Two Uncle Hats immediately pulled Pang Lei up and took him away. Pang Lei didn't resist, as if he had accepted his fate.
Once the prisoner was taken away, Li Ming approached Vivian and asked cautiously, "You're Mayor Wei's daughter, Vivian, right?"
Vivian gave Li Ming a curious look.
"You know my dad?"
"After your dad found out you were kidnapped to the West Asia Great Forest, he called me over a dozen times a day. He's probably reached the edge of the forest by now."
"Really?"
Vivian was overjoyed to hear this.
She had been living in fear for the past few days, and the prospect of seeing her family soon made her incredibly happy.
