Chapter 1696: Can’t Escape
Just as Li Shi was about to ask more questions, a sudden gunshot startled her, and she was immediately pulled into the shadows by Gu Fan.
The two men from earlier had unexpectedly drawn guns, and five more people emerged from the town—each armed—pointing their weapons at the group.
"You?" At this moment, everyone understood. These seven sinister-looking men with ruthless gazes were clearly fugitives.
What could be done? Despite their numbers, the group dared not resist. The guns left them no choice; they complied with orders, clasping their hands behind their heads and squatting on the ground.
The boss of the seven saw the situation was under control and exhaled slightly, then said coldly, "You shouldn’t have come to this place."
Upon hearing this, the group inwardly cursed their misfortune. Who’d want to come here and stumble upon seven gun-wielding criminals?
Someone recalled seeing these seven men’s faces on a wanted list. Apparently, they had stolen a lot of goods and then vanished without a trace. The authorities were still hunting them down. Who would’ve thought they’d end up hiding in this abandoned town?
The other six stood ready for orders, while the boss wore a cold, indifferent expression, as if life held no meaning for him. He paced slowly, deep in thought.
To avoid having their presence exposed by the group, the boss decided to seize control of the situation. His heartless and calculated mind reached a deadly decision within moments.
The boss circled the group once, then gave a signal with his eyes for the other six men to act.
At that moment, Gu Fan and Li Shi, hiding in the dark, saw the seven men preparing to open fire and instantly realized the worst was about to happen.
