Chapter 661: 652, Ruthless Person_1

Watching Li Shuaizhen and Chen Da’s figures heading toward the rogue inn, several girls in their eyes revealed a hint of admiration, yet at this moment, at the end of the highway, a point of light rapidly approached from the distance, the roar of an engine thundering through the normally quiet desert night.

Chen Da quickly pulled Li Shuaizhen back. On national highway 217 at this time of night, there was scarcely any traffic, so the sudden appearance of an extraordinary off-road vehicle might well be related to the inn’s occupants.

They had once speculated that this group might be the real poaching gang in No Man’s Land. Compared to them, their false falcon-smuggling roles seemed somewhat inferior.

In fact, this afternoon, when Chen Da had a spare moment, he had been covertly observing these people and could even say they had given him quite a bit of inspiration.

Chen Da was supposed to play the role of a falcon-smuggling poacher, and now that he had a robust model to learn from, why not take advantage of it?

Now that the car was speeding this way, who could it be? Just passing through? Or the legendary poaching buyer?

Chen Da cast a glance across and was startled to see that the group inside the rogue inn had all stood up as if facing a formidable enemy upon sighting the vehicle.

He was certain, there had to be a connection between them; otherwise, these people wouldn’t have such a reaction. But who could it be that would make these fierce, knife-wielding men take things so seriously?

An off-road vehicle is typically a 5-seater, even if there were 5 people inside, how could they possibly match up to the 10 here?

While Chen Da was mulling this over, he continued to speculate while pulling Li Shuaizhen backward, not wanting to get involved in this mess.

On Li Kun’s side, when he saw the vehicle, he tilted his head signalling, and immediately two men went toward the old pickup truck, pulling out two paper-wrapped packages from a concealed compartment underneath the trunk—not big, about the size of a handgun.

Li Kun’s expression grew colder. In the desert, encountering a sniper supposedly protecting yaks had been a run of bad luck for Li Kun, but encountering an inexplicable sniper didn’t mean he was going to be easy to speak to. Here, in this place, in this gray world, he still had the final say!

He had no intention of returning that one million down payment. If this kid had even more cash on him, that would belong to him too.

Doing poaching business in this desert for so long, it was the first time for Li Kun to come back empty-handed. Since he had no confidence in retaliating against the sniper, he decided to vent his anger on someone else; he couldn’t afford to lose out.

Moreover, Li Kun was thinking about two things. One, if the young man had brought the remaining 900,000 in cash in the car, wouldn’t that be a windfall for him?

Another thing was... why did they come looking for him as soon as he left the desert?

"Check that bag with the money, see if there’s anything wrong," said Li Kun.

One of his men went to check the bag, and within less than two minutes, took a knife and cut open a hidden pocket at the bottom, revealing a small round button.

Seeing this, Li Kun’s face darkened even further. Could that sniper actually be related to this young man? However, the other party paid money for the yak’s horns, but then stopped him... That logic made no sense, did it?

If the sniper would kill all of them in one go, Li Kun thought that would make sense. But instead, the sniper chose to destroy his gun rather than kill.

The threads of thought in Li Kun’s mind became tangled...

How could he know that Ren He had the Divine Punishment System by his side, a source of constant trouble? To be honest, even Ren He didn’t quite understand that troublemaker, okay?

On the crew’s side, seeing that the people in the rogue inn had stopped drinking, all ten of them were stern, and no one really knew what was happening. Some of the timid ones hid in the tents, peering out in secrecy.

Nobody knew what would happen.

But as the off-road vehicle approached, Liu Erbao’s mouth grew wider and wider among the crew!

Damn, this off-road vehicle was just too familiar, okay? After Ren He had picked up the car, all the modifications had been handled by Liu Erbao finding someone to do the work, so if anyone besides Ren He was familiar with this car, it was probably Liu Erbao...

"Holy shit...are they playing this big this time?" Liu Erbao muttered.

Li Shuaizhen, curious beside him, asked quietly, "Erbao, what did you say?"

"It’s nothing..." Liu Erbao felt a toothache coming on...

Someone whispered nearby, "Do you think five strong men will jump out of the car and brawl with the gang from the black shop?"

"But there are 10 people inside, how could 5 be enough?"

"If you squeeze in, probably 7 can fit... The off-road vehicle is spacious."

"Let’s all hide far away later, and if they want to kill and silence us, we’ll scatter and run into the Desert."

"Forget it," Li Shuaizhen said dismissively, "We have over 80 people. They’re going to kill and silence us? Do you think we’re filming a movie? Stabbing one by one, how long would that take?"

In fact, everyone was just joking to ease the tension, and deep down they all admitted Li Shuaizhen was right. Though desolate, this place was not lawless. It was unlikely there would be such deranged criminals anywhere in the country now.

Just at that moment, the off-road vehicle pulled up to the entrance of the black shop and turned off the engine.

In the night, the lights inside the black shop starkly contrasted with the darkness outside, as if a master of composition in a camera lens had arranged everything perfectly.

The off-road vehicle outside the black shop moved from dynamic to static, while the people inside the shop waited with bated breath, their Dog Leg knives unsheathed.

Everyone in the crew held their breath, not knowing what would happen next.

The car door opened, and everyone saw a young man jump down from the car alone, then stand calmly in the middle of the road, looking around as if he alone separated the black shop west of National Highway 217 from the crew to the east, with the gaze of everyone on both sides of the highway focused on him...

The highway was not spacious, with just two lanes.

Ren He stood in the middle of the road and calmly glanced at Zhang Ming, Liu Erbao, and the others. Without a word, he turned and slowly walked into the black shop, approaching the poaching gang who were eating barbecue in the open air.

Zhang Ming and Liu Erbao were smart men, but with just that glance failing to recognize each other, they understood that Ren He didn’t want them to come forward and acknowledge each other.

It was the simplest form of tacit understanding.

Liu Erbao swallowed and whispered, "Director Zhang, do you remember, a week ago that black shop owner said someone fierce had suddenly appeared in No Man’s Land, so fierce that they could punch a person into the air? At that time, we didn’t believe it, thinking how could there be such an incredible figure in the world, that black shop owner must have been bullshitting, but now... I believe it!"
