Chapter 463: Chapter 228: Reinforcements Arrive, Situation Deteriorates_2
"Surrender obediently, admit your mistakes, and provide clues about the remaining hostages. The people will give you a fair trial."
Yan Xiaofeng grew increasingly flustered.
Not only because the opposing party seemed so confident at the moment, but also because his gun was gone!
Upon careful thought, it must have been confiscated when he was unconscious.
Now, those heavy weapons are in the hands of his elder brother and the others. He is bare-handed, and the two children are held by Luo Fei, leaving him with no bargaining chips.
It seems he can only incite the whole village to turn against them.
So many people rushing together, even if a policeman gets killed, it wouldn’t matter much.
Suddenly, a young fellow next to him helped a dazed and dizzy Xiaohu walk over.
"Village chief, village chief, Uncle He was tied up at home. I heard him calling out when I passed by, so I brought him out."
"What?"
The village chief widened his eyes and loudly questioned Xiaohu.
"Xiaohu, where’s your wife? Why are you all alone?"
Xiaohu had just recovered, and upon seeing Luo Fei standing there, he immediately flew into a rage.
A tall and burly man, he now cried like a child.
"Village chief, it’s this little bastard, that’s him! He broke into my house, not only beat me but also took away my wife, wuwuwu, I hadn’t even taken off my pants..."
Listening to Xiaohu’s lament, the village chief’s face turned dark.
"Well, you thief, you’ve already made your move!"
"Quick, tell me, where did that girl go?"
Facing the aggressive village chief, Luo Fei glanced down the mountain.
"My colleagues have already sent the people away. The girl should be in police custody now. I advise all of you to behave and not act rashly, or you will face severe penalties for disturbing public order."
Upon hearing this, the village chief became even more anxious and turned around, looking at Yan Xiaofeng with a pleading expression.
"Boss Yan, you see, the daughter we got was taken away. Can we ask for less compensation money?"
Yan Xiaofeng was dumbfounded by these words, staring at the old man in front of him as if he were an idiot.
He knew the village chief wasn’t very smart and that the villagers here didn’t have a high cultural literacy, but he didn’t expect them to be so ignorant.
Luo Fei’s message indicated that the police had noticed them here.
Moreover, a hostage had been sent out! Soon, a massive police deployment would surround the mountain and search upwards layer by layer, making it impossible to escape.
He was contemplating how to escape, and yet the old man still had the nerve to talk about money?
If they got caught, being executed ten times wouldn’t be too much. The village chief was incredibly brave.
There are indeed plenty of people more clueless about the law than him...
"Old man, listen, your grandson is in his hands now. He intends to make an enemy out of your village."
"All of you together, capture him and bring the child back. As long as the child is in your hands, forget about the compensation money, I don’t want your grandson’s money either."
Hearing Yan Xiaofeng’s generous words, the village chief was so happy that he knelt immediately.
"Oh dear, you truly are my benefactor..."
For this old man, getting two grandsons for free without paying money was a great thing.
Not only would he keep his hard-earned money, but he could also carry on the family line. Such a good thing wouldn’t happen in several lifetimes.
He quickly got up, raised a shovel, and shouted at Luo Fei.
"Kneel to me quickly, or one shovel and you’ll be sent to heaven."
The nearby villagers were dumbfounded.
Has the village chief gone mad? That’s a policeman! The village chief actually wants to attack a policeman for the sake of two children, and everyone quickly came up to persuade him.
"Village chief, be careful; this guy is a policeman; don’t act foolishly."
"Yeah, we can’t go against the government."
"Stop the village chief!"
Seeing everyone around persuading him, the village chief grew angry. He had lived most of his life, and now that his sole wish was being thwarted by these people.
So, he pointed the shovel at the younger generations in the village.
"What are you all talking about?!"
"Those two are my good grandsons. Once my wife and daughter-in-law come back and see that I’ve gotten grandchildren for them, they will definitely be happy."
"Why can’t you see someone else having a good day?"
"Each of you isn’t much help. Haven’t I helped any of you in this village? I’m not asking you to repay that gratitude, but now you’re tripping me up!"
After the village chief’s lecture, the surrounding people fell silent.
Luo Fei was actually buying time; it was already daylight. Given the time, Han Tiesheng should have already sent the girl out.
He just needed to delay until reinforcements arrived to defuse the crisis and save the two children.
His most crucial task now was to keep an eye on Yan Xiaofeng to prevent his escape.
But when Luo Fei looked towards the back, he saw that the spot Yan Xiaofeng was standing at was now empty.
He must have taken advantage of the villagers to stall for time and slipped away quietly.
Damn it! This guy plans to escape down the mountain.
Luo Fei immediately wanted to leave with the children, but the village chief stood in his way.
"Boy, give me the children, or you won’t leave this village today even if you’re a policeman!"
Hearing the other side’s taunt, Luo Fei was barely able to hold his anger back.
Threatening a police officer, knowingly breaking the law, this old man’s really ruthless!
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Stop, don’t move!"
Zhang Wei and others rushed up, and Luo Fei smiled knowingly. Finally, they were here, but to his surprise, only three people showed up!
Zhang Wei, Qi Tongwei, and an unfamiliar officer.
"Zhang Wei, why are there only a few of you here?"
"There were supposed to be four, but Captain Han went after a fleeing suspect. We saw someone trying to escape when we climbed the mountain, so Captain Han gave chase."
In that case, Han Tiesheng must have spotted Yan Xiaofeng’s trail and pursued him.
"Team leader, what’s happening?"
Zhang Wei and the other two guarded Luo Fei’s side. They were in uniform, appearing more formidable.
The villagers hesitated one by one, not expecting they would really alarm the police this time.
Luo Fei quietly stared at the village chief not far away.
"These villagers have been incited; put away your guns, don’t harm them, but protect yourselves."
"Understood!"
Zhang Wei answered firmly at the side, his faith in Luo Fei unwavering.
"Alright, Brother Fei."
Qi Tongwei and the officer put away their weapons as well.
But the village chief was fearless; his eyes were red, and he wouldn’t rest until he kept his two beloved grandsons.
"Old man, we are the people’s police. We hope you’ll cooperate."
Zhang Wei approached, trying to speak kindly, but the village chief didn’t waste any words, swinging the shovel down hard, hitting him squarely on the head.
"Zhang Wei!"
Luo Fei was shocked and hurried to support the fallen man, with Qi Tongwei and the others quickly coming over to protect him.
The village chief’s voice was icy.
"Surround them, get the children back. If you help me today, consider this old man owes the whole village a life!"
Incited, the villagers grabbed sticks and surrounded them, shoving and jostling as they began to attack. Qi Tongwei and the group struggled under the assault of farm tools and sticks.
"Brother Fei, what do we do?"
The villagers grew more excited, clamoring to get the children back.
Zhang Wei, with a head full of blood, forced a smile at Luo Fei before fainting.
Seeing his brother hurt by these unruly villagers, Luo Fei’s gaze changed completely, a murderous aura surging forth.
"Today, considering your ignorance, I didn’t want to act; you forced me..."
"It’s! You! Who! Forced! Me!"
