83: Lifeline

Telephone Pole knew that the people he was contacting were all ruthless criminals.

Although his younger brother was a menace, he usually just threw his weight around in the small town and collected protection money.

Those people, however, were lawless; committing all sorts of crimes was as simple to them as drinking cold water.

Moreover, to avoid exposing their crimes, they were ruthless and preferred to kill to silence witnesses.

If he wasn't careful, he would get sucked in and end up smashed to pieces himself.

But for the sake of avenging his brother and venting the resentment he felt in the park...

Especially after knowing that his enemy had snatched a treasure worth over ten million from him, Telephone Pole could no longer care about so much.

He was just a loser who had even lost his job now.

Qin Yun, on the other hand, was a big shot in the treasure hunting world, young and with a bright future.

He had a worthless life; even if he perished together with Qin Yun, this life would be worth it!

Telephone Pole contacted the people on that side and explained that Qin Yun had over ten million dollars' worth of antiques and was alone, though Qin Yun's skills were somewhat good.

He could lead the way.

The other side agreed without a second thought, scheduling the operation for that night.

It wasn't until evening that the visitors to the Frauer farm disappeared.

When leaving, everyone praised Qin Yun as a very good man.

The greatest and most selfless person since the town was established.

After sending everyone away, Qin Yun's heart was full of worry.

The fact that he had obtained the yongle encyclopedia had been fully exposed on the internet.

The folk customs in the Western United States were fierce, and there were many underground forces.

And they were very poor; for ten million, these underground forces would definitely commit murder to silence witnesses!

If someone with intentions noticed, his current situation was already very dangerous.

Golden Tooth and his gang of small-town thugs were fine.

They hadn't received professional military training, and their military literacy wasn't that high.

If it were an underground force with rich combat experience, even though he had the Profound Vision Treasure Eye, he would likely find it hard to withstand the opponent's fire coverage.

After dinner, Qin Yun gave everyone a warning.

"The news of me finding the yongle encyclopedia has been exposed. It's very likely that some heinous people will come to snatch it. You must be careful tonight; it's best not to sleep near the windows!"

"It will be fine after tonight; my people can fly over tomorrow."

Qin Yun was very grateful for The Frauer Family's warm hospitality.

He didn't want this family to suffer any accidents because of his affairs.

Worry appeared on the faces of The Frauer Family.

They still clearly remembered the terrifying scene of Golden Tooth's gang breaking into their home with guns that night.

Although they were afraid in their hearts, they had no intention of blaming Qin Yun.

Qin Yun had already agreed to let Elma follow him.

In other words, they had already established a connection with a big shot like Qin Yun.

It was worth taking these risks to build a relationship with Qin Yun.

Besides, they had seen scenes of Qin Yun's incomparable bravery.

They all believed Qin Yun would overcome this difficulty.

Perhaps the revival of The Frauer Family lay with Qin Yun.

"The thugs are looking for you; we should be fine as long as we hide well."

"Your status is noble; it's best to be more careful and not be so desperate."

"That's right, if thugs come, you don't need to worry about us; preserving your own life is the most important thing."

...Qin Yun shook his head, moved; this family was too considerate of him.

"I understand. You guys pay more attention; if someone comes, just hide well, and leave the rest to me."

After saying goodbye to The Frauer Family, Qin Yun and Julia returned to the bedroom.

Julia looked at Qin Yun with a face full of worry.

"Qin, how about we leave secretly? You're only one person, and the thugs coming will definitely be prepared. The risk is just too great."

Compared to some external possessions, Julia cared more about Qin Yun's safety.

With Qin Yun's abilities, if he hid himself, almost no one in this remote West would be his match.

Qin Yun shook his head with an indifferent expression.

"It's nothing, I'm just guessing; I don't even know if anyone will come tonight."

"We'd better not let unknown enemies make us jumpy, or we'll be exhausted and won't have enough energy to deal with danger when it comes. Let's go to sleep early; we have a long way to go tomorrow."

To keep Julia from worrying, Qin Yun's face always maintained a calm expression.

If he left, what would happen to Julia?

What would happen to The Frauer Family?

As a man, there were some responsibilities that had to be borne.

Seeing Qin Yun say this, Julia couldn't say much more.

To deal with the possible danger, both of them crawled into the covers without taking off their clothes.

Qin Yun remained vigilant at all times, only sleeping lightly; at the slightest sign of trouble, he would go out with the shotgun by his side.

Sure enough, at eleven o'clock at night, the roar of an engine came from outside.

Telephone Pole had been advising them to be careful of Qin Yun's strength; his close combat and marksmanship were both very outstanding.

His brother's gang had fallen at that kid's hands.

For 100% success, it was best to launch a sneak attack.

The leading Tattooed Big Man slung the automatic rifle over his shoulder, his face full of disdain and mockery.

"Golden Tooth's gang of thugs are just low-grade trash compared to us. Getting killed can only be blamed on their inferior skills."

"Qin Yun is just one person with a shotgun. How powerful can he be? It must be that Golden Tooth's gang was too weak! Rest assured, with the automatic rifle in my hand and so many battle-hardened brothers by my side, even if the opponent were a special forces soldier, he wouldn't escape my palm!"

The Tattooed Big Man was very confident in their strength.

He had seen Qin Yun's photo; he didn't look like he had undergone professional training.

Even if his marksmanship was accurate, so what? Could he alone be a match for nearly twenty of their brothers?

Hearing the leader's words, many of the burly men in the car laughed.

The driver floored the gas and even honked the horn, not taking Qin Yun seriously at all.

Telephone Pole had a bitter look; they were being too careless. But seeing the fierce appearance of this group...

He didn't take it too much to heart. No matter how powerful Qin Yun was, he was just one person. How could he be a match for this ruthless criminal gang whose hands were covered in blood?

Hearing the roar of the car, everyone in the Frauers House became alert and hid in the corners one after another.

Qin Yun picked up the shotgun beside him, crouched by the edge of the bed, and looked up to observe the situation outside.

The Tattooed Big Man pulled out a pistol and arrogantly fired three shots into the sky.

"Which one is Qin Yun? You'd better roll out obediently and personally hand over the yongle encyclopedia, or else I won't be polite. My brothers and I will send everyone to hell!"

Hearing the boss's shout, the underlings all burst into laughter.

"Xia Country Monkey, come out!"

"Or else we'll kill all of you!"

...While they were shouting, they tacitly surrounded the Frauer house.

Seeing the fierce look of the enemies in the car lights, Qin Yun thought to himself that things were bad.

Although these people were arrogant, they cooperated in an orderly manner; it seemed they were formidable characters.

He naturally wouldn't surrender and responded directly with the shotgun in his hand.

With two "bang, bang" shots, a thug on the car fell to the ground.

There were two large holes in his body; it didn't look like he would survive.

The Tattooed Big Man's gang didn't expect Qin Yun to dare to fight back and even kill one of their brothers.

They took the weapons in their hands and fired toward Qin Yun's window.

Accompanied by a crackling sound, the window above Qin Yun instantly turned into fragments.

Because the power of the automatic rifles was very great, even many holes appeared in the wall.

The dense fire made it impossible for Qin Yun to even raise his head to return fire.

Hearing the rapid footsteps gradually approaching, Qin Yun understood that these people were about to storm the house.

He was anxious in his heart. Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, a dazzling beam of light shot down from mid-air.

Then came the hiss of a machine gun, and more than half of the people outside the house fell down at once!

It turned out that Mike had learned that Qin Yun was in danger and came directly by helicopter with mercenaries from the company to the rescue.
