The carriage was swaying, and the road was quite bumpy, but Li Yu sat very steadily.

He faced no restrictions, except his weapons were confiscated; the situation was similar for everyone else.

They were ambushed on their way to other camps. There were not many of them, but each of them was highly skilled.

Coupled with their superior and advanced equipment, Li Yu's side, which had a clear numerical advantage, was defeated in less than 10 minutes.

Almost all of 'Huang Quan's' personnel were killed; only those who posed no threat, such as drivers, were spared.

Li Yu's men were also a threat, but for some reason they weren't killed; their weapons were simply confiscated.

Therefore, Liu Si, who was sitting opposite Li Yu in the carriage, winked at him.

Li Yu had worked with her for a long time and understood her subtle meaning from her words; he knew that Liu Si was asking whether to take action.

Li Yu shook his head decisively.

The other side took their weapons without restraint, clearly not taking them seriously.

Moreover, previous battles have shown that among our group, only he and Liu Si are capable of withstanding some resistance.

No one else will do.

Even if they were to act now, the two could still manage to escape.

What about the others?

Li Yu couldn't abandon his brothers and run away.

If he were that kind of person, he would have already started his own business; why would he continue to follow Cheng Baisen?

Liu Si shrugged and didn't say anything.

Suddenly she exclaimed, "Huh? Are we back at camp?"

Li Yu took a look and it was indeed true.

Not far ahead was the 'Coyote' camp.

There's no reason why the robbers wouldn't know that their convoy started from the 'Coyote' camp. If they dared to come back after robbing, there's only one possibility.

The camp has changed hands and is now under the control of others!

Black Witch?

The thought suddenly flashed through Li Yu's mind.

Then this thought took over my entire mind.

The convoy drove into the town, into the camp, and into Cheng Baisen's restricted area.

Two supply trucks were parked nearby, while other escort vehicles arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall building.

Li Yu then saw a one-armed man coldly gesture for him to get off the carriage.

Li Yu jumped down cooperatively and followed the one-armed man into the shopping mall building.

Just as Li Yu entered the mall and arrived on the first floor, before he could even see anyone clearly, he heard a woman shout, "Li Yu, save me!"

Li Yu looked over and saw that it was Cheng Baisen's woman, Gong Li, a former minor star.

Gong Li was now pale and distraught. Her hands and feet were bound, and she sat on the cold ground, her makeup ruined from crying.

Beside her stood more than twenty soldiers from the camp. They had been disarmed and were squatting on the ground, with rifles pointed at them, deterring them from making any rash moves.

At that moment, someone came out.

It was a man wearing a cloak, whose age was impossible to discern because he wore a Nuoxi Opera carved wooden mask. Li Yu looked completely bewildered.

Then the one-armed man leading the way said in a deep voice, "This is Mister Red Ghost."

Li Yu looked at the man called Chi Gui and heard him say from behind his mask, "Cheng Baisen betrayed us, withheld our supplies and refuses to return them."

He's dead now.

"Including the forces of 'Yellow Springs'."

"The body is still up there. If you're interested, you can go up and take a look."

Li Yu was startled.

Black witch! Red demon!

His fears have indeed come true!

Just as he had guessed, the Black Witches were no ordinary organization, even though no one knew their origins.

He had warned Cheng Baisen long ago, but unfortunately, Cheng Baisen didn't take it to heart at all.

Now, they've come knocking on our door!

They then wiped out Cheng Baisen and 'Huang Quan's' men in one fell swoop.

Li Yu took a deep breath. "Mister Red Ghost, what do you plan to do with us?"

Luo Yan, hidden behind the mask, said calmly, "You will replace Cheng Baisen and continue to be my agent."

"I will provide weapons and personnel."

I hope you won't let me down.

Li Yu was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so easily persuaded, and couldn't help but ask, "Mister Red Ghost, do you trust me?"

Luo Yan stayed at the camp for three days, and through casual conversations among the camp residents and soldiers, he had already figured out what kind of person Li Yu was.

They also knew that Li Yu's old subordinates and Cheng Baisen were already at odds.

That's why this decision was made.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan replied, "No, I don't believe you."

"If you want me to trust you, you need to earn it yourself."

"I'm making these arrangements because you don't have a better choice."

"If you don't rely on us, how will you explain to the people of 'Yellow Springs' that their goods were lost, but you are still alive?"

Yes.

Although Luo Yan decided to let Li Yu replace Cheng Baisen as the master of this camp.

But that doesn't mean he would trust Li Yu.

Rather than blindly trusting based on ideals, he believed that shared interests could bind people together.

They robbed 'Huang Quan' of their goods but didn't kill Li Yu. Just this one point alone makes it impossible for Li Yu to explain himself to 'Huang Quan'.

So, as Luo Yan said, under these circumstances, Li Yu had no better choice than to cooperate with him.

Li Yu understood this as well, gave a wry smile, and nodded, saying, "From now on, I will only follow Mister Red Ghost's lead."

He surrendered.

The two sides are far apart in terms of combat strength, equipment, and even tactics.

What can be done if they don't submit?

Luo Yan nodded and said, "I will send a batch of men over later to replenish the soldiers lost at your base."

"Huang Quan will definitely inquire about this, and he will come back."

"It's alright, I'll take care of them myself."

Luo Yan looked at the female celebrity on the ground.

As for this woman.

"It's up to you to handle."

While Li Yu was still somewhat confused about the meaning behind Chi Gui's words, he heard him say something.

"This woman was just urging Cheng Baisen to sever my tendons and throw me outside the camp to be eaten by wolves."

After saying this, Luo Yan didn't look at the hall again and strode away.

Guan Peng, Wei Junyi, and others followed closely behind.

In no time at all.

The Black Witch branch has completely disappeared.

At this moment, Liu Si and the others entered.

"Old Li, what's going on?" Liu Si asked abruptly.

Li Yu closed his eyes and exhaled.

I'll tell you the details later.

"I have something to take care of right now."

He walked towards Gong Li.

Gong Li tried her best to smile brightly, "Little Li, no, Brother Li."

"From now on, she'll be with you."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

unexpectedly.

Li Yu roared, "Shut up!"

"I remember now, the boss changed after he took you in."

"He was originally a law-abiding person, but it was your encouragement that made him ambitious."

"Having ambition isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when you lack the corresponding strength, it becomes a disaster."

"Like this time!"

"If you hadn't encouraged the boss to kill Mister Red Ghost, he might not be dead."

"You actually want to throw her into the snow to feed the wolves? You've got some nerve!"

Gong Li trembled with fear. "Brother Li, you're not going to throw me out of the camp to feed the wolves, are you?"

"Please, please let me go. I promise I won't say anything like that again."

"Look, they've all left. You can let me go quietly; no one will know."

Li Yu sneered, "Don't worry, I won't throw you into the snow to feed the wolves. I'm not as cruel as you."

"But."

"You must die."

"This is Mister Red Ghost's intention."

"At the same time, it was also a test for me. If I didn't kill you, I'm afraid none of us in this camp would survive."

Gong Li shook her head. "No, no."

"Please let me go."

"Please let me go."

Li Yu didn't say anything more, walked behind her, and reached out to cup her head in his hands.

He whispered in the woman's ear, "Go down and apologize to my brother."

After saying that, he crossed his hands to the left and right.

Click.

Gong Li shook her head slightly, then opened her eyes wide and tilted her head to one side in a strange way.
