Chapter 1187 Trouble at the Zeng Family Restaurant
"What? Manager Zeng and his wife have been arrested? Why?" Lu Yi looked at Su Shitou with a face full of doubt.
Suddenly he saw Su Shitou close his eyes and fall down. He quickly reached out his hands and swiftly and forcefully supported Su Shitou's swaying body.
When Lu Yi felt an unusual sticky sensation on his palm, he frowned and looked down to see that his hands were covered in blood!
Su Shitou's back was stained red with blood at some point.
Lu Yi's eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Jiang Wenming, come quickly and save people!"
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Jiyun, who was sitting on a stool to the side, suddenly stood up and rushed over.
She took out two special medicine pills, wanting nothing more than to give them to the injured Su Shitou as soon as possible.
However, when she touched Su Shitou's pulse in his neck, she froze, her face filled with pain and regret as she murmured, "He...he's already gone!"
Only then did Lu Yi realize that Su Shitou had already lost his life.
He was furious. He pulled out the pistol from his waistband and said through gritted teeth to Qu Jiang, "I need to go to the Zeng Family Restaurant to find out what's going on. You stay here and take care of Shi Tou's funeral arrangements."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
Jiang Jiyun, disregarding her exhaustion and without even exchanging a word with the others, rushed out the door with Lu Yi.
The two moved through the narrow, dark alley at an astonishing speed.
Just as they were about to exit the alley, Jiang Jiyun swiftly pulled Xiao Wei out of the space.
Xiao Wei, who was suddenly pulled out, was still tightly holding a cannon barrel in his hand and looked a little dazed.
Just as he was about to look around, he heard Jiang Jiyun's anxious voice calling out, "Brother Xiao Wei, hurry up and come with us to rescue them!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei hurriedly put away his belongings and started running forward, closely following behind Lu Yi and Jiang Jiyun.
The three of them ran non-stop toward Zeng's Restaurant, arriving near the restaurant breathlessly.
Lu Yi looked at the restaurant billowing thick smoke and was about to go over to check the situation.
Just then, the two little beggars spotted Jiang Jiyun in the distance and recognized her immediately. They quickly ran towards her.
Jiang Jiyun recognized the two little ones at a glance.
They were the two people he had previously paid to run errands for him.
One of the beggars said anxiously to them, "Those people took Boss Zeng and his wife and fled eastward. Brother Wu and Uncle Tao have already caught up with them. They left marks along the way. Follow us closely, and we'll definitely find them!"
Lu Yi recognized the two children as well, and without saying a word, he immediately followed behind the little beggars, running all the way.
Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei glanced at the burned-down restaurant and then followed it.
As night deepened, the sky grew increasingly dark.
Because of the dim light, the two little beggars who were responsible for finding the marks were noticeably slower.
Seeing this, Xiao Wei quickly took out his phone and contacted his uncle.
Upon learning that his niece was safe and sound and had someone with her, Jiang Wenming felt somewhat relieved. He then put his mind at ease and wholeheartedly led his men to rescue the innocent people in the city.
And so, Jiang Jiyun and his group wandered through the darkness, making their way through the darkness, and finally arrived at the outskirts of a village.
At that moment, the night wind howled past, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.
They stood there, looking at the village shrouded in darkness, the surroundings eerily quiet, not even a single bark could be heard.
"Uncle Lu, we need to be extra careful, and make sure nothing goes wrong. Kids, come to the back of us!" Xiao Wei said to everyone.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Jiyun quickly turned around and gestured for the two little beggars to go back and hide, and to come out again when they were sure everything was alright.
She watched the two children run out and disappear into the night, then turned and ran to the side, took out her night-vision helmet, and stood ready to deal with any possible danger.
Suddenly, a strange sound reached Xiao Wei's ears; it was coming from Lu Yi's feet not far ahead!
Without thinking twice, Xiao Wei shouted at the top of his lungs, "Watch out!"
At the same time, he used all his strength to lunge forward and pinned the unsuspecting Lu Yi down.
Just at this critical moment, a deafening roar resounded.
"boom!"
The deafening explosion instantly echoed throughout the entire village.
Jiang Jiyun was shocked and quickly looked back, seeing flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing from the village entrance.
She was extremely anxious and rushed over in a few strides. She immediately saw the two people who were in a sorry state and were rolling into the ditch next to them.
"Brother Wei, how are you? Are you hurt?" Jiang Jiyun asked anxiously to the people who were still struggling.
At this moment, Xiao Wei's ears were ringing and his vision was blurry, but when he vaguely caught a glimpse of Jiang Jiyun's extremely anxious face, he mustered his strength and replied, "Don't worry, we're both fine, but... you have to be extra careful! This village is probably full of all sorts of traps!"
After saying that, he wiped the dirt off his hands on his clothes and quickly took out a special medicine and swallowed it to relieve the discomfort caused by tinnitus.
As time passed, the tinnitus symptoms gradually lessened until they disappeared completely.
During his recovery, Xiao Wei checked on Lu Yi beside him and, after confirming that the other party had not suffered any obvious external injuries, he decisively fed him a special pill to ensure his safety.
"Thank you for saving me..." Lu Yi, lying in the ditch, struggled to sit up and thanked them with gratitude on his face.
Recalling the terrifying scene just now, he was still shaken. If it weren't for Wei Mian's timely rescue, he would probably have been smashed to pieces and died by now.
Having not participated in actual combat for a long time, Lu Yi did not maintain his usual high level of vigilance before this operation.
As a result of such carelessness, he stepped on a landmine without even realizing it. If the defending champion next to him hadn't reacted quickly and pushed him away, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
After resting for a while, Lu Yiqiang endured the pain and slowly stood up from the ground, and with Xiao Wei's help, he crawled out of the ditch.
Just as he was racking his brains about how to safely enter the village, he saw Xiao Wei suddenly reach out and hand him an item.
Jiang Jiyun, who was originally standing to the side, disappeared at some point.
Lu Yi took the mysterious object with a look of suspicion, and asked in bewilderment, "Could this be used to detect landmines? Why is it so different from the ones I've seen before?"
