Initially, the man thought he could rob some firewood today and go back early. Who knew these guys were not only tough guys but also knew what they were secretly doing?
The man sneered as his voice turned cold, "Since you already know our secret, you must die today."
This time, it was Yao Ran's turn to laugh. She chuckled and said, "Then try your best to entertain me. I've been at home for too long and need some exercise."
As soon as she said these words, the atmosphere changed, and the air was filled with tension. Just as Yao Ran and her friends were about to take action, someone suddenly shouted from a distance.
"What are you guys doing there?!"
When Yao Ran and others heard this, they turned to look at the shouting man. Sure enough, he was a soldier. Seven people looked at each other and secretly put away their weapons.
While Yao Ran and others remained calm, those people were panicking. Although they could do whatever they wanted in their community, they were still afraid of the soldiers.
The soldier called two more comrades, and the three of them approached Yao Ran and the others.
The soldiers thoughtfully looked at their equipment, clothing, and fire axes and asked, "What's going on here?"
Before Yao Ran had time to answer, the burly man had already said, "Sir, they took away our firewood."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhihui became angry and retorted, "It was you and your people who came to rob us while we were tying the logs."
Hearing what she said, the soldier looked at the half-tied logs for a moment. He then looked at the men and said, "Take out your weapons and show me."
The man wanted to refuse, but when he saw the gun in the soldier's hand, he nodded to his subordinates. Seeing those blunt knives, sickles, hammers, and kitchen knives, the soldier's eyes turned cold.
He said coldly, "How dare you lie to me? Leave now. Otherwise, I will use martial law to punish you."
When the man heard this, he asked, unconvinced, "Sir, how can you believe what they say just because they have women with them?"
This time, the meaning of his words was obvious. He accused the soldier of siding with Huang Zhihui and said that the soldier wanted to get something out of her.
The soldier's eyes darkened, and he pointed his gun at the burly man. "I will give you three seconds to leave, or I will shoot you."
The man knew that speaking politely to the soldiers was useless, so he changed his tactic and angrily said, "I won't leave until you give me an explanation!"
The soldiers sneered, pointed at the logs and firewood, and said, "Look carefully at the logs." The man followed the soldier's instructions and checked the logs. Others in the team asked, with a hint of sarcasm in their tone.
"What can you see from them? These logs are just regular logs."
