22: Chapter 22 Rescue

Su Qing said with a cold expression, "You're all by yourself, do you really think you have us cornered?"

Su Qing felt a surge of annoyance; if she had known, she wouldn't have gone fishing today, and she wouldn't have encountered such a situation...

The man smiled and said, "Beauty, you've guessed wrong there."

He then shouted, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Come out!"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than three more middle-aged men ran quickly from a small house in the distance.

"What? There really are others!"

Su Qing's pupils contracted sharply as she frantically searched for a countermeasure in her mind. Unfortunately, this was the middle of nowhere; if they were in Yanjing, she could have had this man dead and buried in minutes...

A look of despair immediately appeared on Su Qing's face.

Murong Lanlan hid behind Qin Mo, her face deathly pale; she was clearly terrified.

Before long, the three men arrived, all leering at Su Qing and Murong Lanlan with lecherous smiles.

One of the men spoke up, "Boss, these chicks are top-tier!"

"Enough talk. Sink the guy in the lake, and take the women to the room. I'll enjoy them first, then you all can have a turn."

"Got it!"

The four men then closed in, surrounding the three of them with lecherous smiles on their faces.

"Qin... Qin Mo, what should we do?"

Murong Lanlan said, her entire body trembling.

This was the first time in her life she had experienced something like this, and she was on the verge of tears from fear.

Compared to Murong Lanlan, Su Qing appeared much calmer. She stood to the side with a grim, uncertain expression, already bracing for the worst.

"Holy crap! They're so arrogant, has anyone called the police?"

"I'm so worried for the Streamer! Why hasn't the Hat arrived yet?"

"Is anyone near the Streamer? Hurry over and help!"

"Guys, I'm the closest to the Streamer, but I'm still 10 kilometers away. By the time I get there, it'll be too late..."

The people in the livestream were extremely nervous, but Qin Mo remained much calmer.

"Do you really think you have us cornered?"

Qin Mo said coldly.

One of the men asked in confusion, "Boss, has this kid been scared stupid?"

Hahaha... Upon hearing this, the men burst into boisterous laughter.

Then, one of the men said mockingly, "Kid, we're in the middle of nowhere. No one will ever know. Do you really think we don't have you cornered?"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qin Mo held up his streaming equipment and said, "Don't you know I've been livestreaming this whole time?"

"Let me see how many people are witnessing your crimes."

Qin Mo glanced at it and sneered, "Not too many, not too few, exactly sixty thousand people."

"What?"

The men were instantly alarmed.

Murong Lanlan suddenly realized—that's right! Qin Mo was still livestreaming, which meant they might be saved!

Murong Lanlan's earlier fear was instantly swept away.

Su Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been so focused on thinking of a plan that she had forgotten Qin Mo was livestreaming.

At this moment, one of the men said in a panic, "Boss, what do we do? They must have called the police, what are we going to do?"

The leader's expression was grim and uncertain.

Then, he steeled his heart.

"Hurry up! Before the Hat arrives, we're in the middle of nowhere—at worst, we'll just run. These people are either rich or important; they must have plenty of money on them, enough to cover our escape for a while."

"That's right! And we can still have some fun first!"

A man exclaimed in delight.

"No... wait, shouldn't you be turning over a new leaf?"

Murong Lanlan was stunned. She had just gone from hell to heaven, only to fall right back down again in the blink of an eye...

"Turning over a new leaf is impossible! Little beauty, I'll make sure to cherish you in a moment!"

A man rushed toward them with an evil grin.

Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he wore a confident smile.

He said calmly, "Time's up!"

"What time is up?"

"Hat! Get down!"

"Everyone, get down!"

Just as Qin Mo finished speaking, a dozen Hats, fully armed, rushed over quickly.

Seeing this, Su Qing and Murong Lanlan, who were behind Qin Mo, breathed a huge sigh of relief. They were saved...

The men were panicked now and, ignoring Qin Mo and the others, turned and ran in every direction.

Soon, the men were caught one by one by the Hats and pinned firmly to the ground.

"Holy crap, are the Hats this fast now? It hasn't even been three minutes since the incident started, right?"

"Did someone notice something wrong and call the police in advance? Otherwise, how could they be so fast?"

"Kid, what's going on? How did they get here so fast?"

One of the men lying on the ground roared in frustration.

Qin Mo said unhurriedly, "Because the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew your true nature, so I called the police early on!"

Hearing this, the man said in disbelief, "Impossible! How could you tell?"

"Heh... I didn't tell by looking; I calculated it."

"Calculated it?"

The man muttered to himself, unable to figure out what Qin Mo meant by "calculated."

The lead Hat said sternly, "Take them away!"

Upon his order, the men were taken away.

At this moment, the lead Hat walked up to Qin Mo, smiled slightly, and said, "You must be Qin Mo, right? You're quite something!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Ming. You're quite famous around here, kid."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Mo was momentarily stunned.

Li Ming laughed, "So far, you've helped us solve three major cases, and now this is the fourth. Our bureau now calls you the 'Death Elementary Student'—wherever you go, a case appears. Would you say you're famous or not?"

Qin Mo laughed helplessly, "You can't blame me for that. Who would have thought that just by connecting with me on a livestream, they'd end up sent away..."

"Now, many Hats just camp out in your livestream; it saves a lot of trouble."

Qin Mo was speechless... No, when did I get targeted by the Hats...

Li Ming smiled slightly, "Alright, let's talk business. Actually, we've been keeping an eye on this person for a while."

"A while ago, a few people came here fishing just like you and then went missing. We suspect these guys did it, but we haven't found any clues yet."

"This time, we've caught them red-handed, but you need to prepare yourselves mentally. This is considered attempted assault, so they might not get a long sentence."

Speaking of this, Li Ming felt a bit helpless. There was a lot of pressure from above, but everyone was still clueless and had no leads.

"Dog Streamer, why aren't you helping? They just tried to attack you; don't you want revenge?"

"That's right! Dog Streamer, aren't you good at divination? Use your metaphysical methods to help the Hats."

Seeing this, Qin Mo smiled mysteriously.

"Officer Li, those people you mentioned are actually already dead. The bodies are near this lake."

"And I know where the bodies are."

"What?"

Officer Li's eyes widened.
