Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Surrounded by Dangers

Fortunately, after her rebirth, she made good relationships from the start and didn’t follow the same old path for a lifetime.

"Speaking of which, it’s already the 28th! Can my brother-in-law really make it back before the New Year?" An Ping was quite concerned about this.

He really felt close to Qin Jian and considered him a dear family member.

That’s why he was eagerly hoping for his return.

"I don’t know either! He should be... coming back soon!"

An Hao silently pleaded with the heavens to bring Qin Jian safely back.

Although An Hao knew his life wasn’t in danger, she didn’t want him to get hurt while on a mission.

...........................

Qin Jian and his men had already entered the dense forest to start a large-scale search operation.

The forest on this mountain was lush.

Because they had conducted military exercises here before, there were still military shelters they had built in the mountain, plus the woods were vast, making it easy to hide people.

They had been searching in the forest for several days and nights.

Troops, armed police, and public security had all gathered around the mountain, completely encircling it.

They were determined to catch the criminals in an encircled hunt and completely annihilate the criminal gang.

They absolutely could not allow them to harm the people again.

The people waiting at the foot of the mountain were relatively safe, but those who ventured into the mountain were placing themselves in grave danger.

These men were desperate outlaws, and a single misstep could result in death at their hands.

That’s why the troops brought in were a reconnaissance company.

"Staff Chief, there seems to be movement up ahead." The reconnaissance company commander stopped in his tracks and, after listening carefully, reported.

Qin Jian gestured for everyone to find positions to hide.

All their guns were loaded, ready to enter combat at any moment.

"Luo Bro! Do we really have to keep moving around in the mountain like this?" The criminal gang had obviously appeared, and each one was extremely cautious.

Being able to confront Qin Jian and his men in the mountain for so many days—with only a third of them taken out—was no small feat and proved the gang’s strength.

"What else can we do?" A deep voice reached Qin Jian’s ears.

Upon hearing it, Qin Jian immediately judged who the Luo Bro they mentioned was!

It was no other than Luo Gang!

After confirming his assumption, Qin Jian felt both shocked and heartbroken.

A legendary figure of the iron-blooded army on the battlefield had, in just a few short years, fallen to the point of joining a criminal gang to commit unconscionable acts.

"We can use the ridge to leave the mountain, avoiding this section of the highway."

"Right. We’ve nearly starved to death these past few days."

"Exactly! Luo Bro, it’s true we want to make money, but we need to be alive to enjoy it! Leading us round and round in here, we’ll either get killed by them or starve to death."

Internal conflict had already started within the gang.

They were debating whether to break out of the mountain or continue wandering around it.

"Stop thinking about it! We’re already wrapped up like dumplings, breaking out won’t be easy," Luo Gang said calmly, "Since we’ve become dumpling fillings, I have the resolve to be a dumpling filling! If you want to live, you have to fight them to the death."

"But those are the reconnaissance company guys ahead! The way their commander shoots, one shot one kill, he’s too fast! At this rate, we are doomed! Better to fight for a break out!" Some had begun to question Luo Gang’s decision.
