Chapter 28: Hunter and Prey (Part Two)

  Yang Shuangfeng didn't say a word, he just concentrated on observing the movements of the bandits in front of him. However, apart from that endless stream of flattering words, the bandits didn't make any other moves. He took out his pocket watch to take a look, only to find that it had stopped working. Looking up at the sky, it was gradually darkening.

  In the silence, a soft but clear voice suddenly spoke up: "General Yang must be a blessed man of heaven. If he can successfully return to Meini, he will surely achieve great things."

  Yang Shuangfeng couldn't help but smile wryly and said: "Cai young lady, are you praising me or mocking me?"

  Cai Bing's eyes fluttered lightly as she shook her head, speaking in a warm tone: "General Yang, although I've only just met you, I can sense that you're definitely a man who will achieve great things. I don't know how to explain it, but I truly feel this way. Perhaps, compared to my cousin, you have many areas where you excel beyond him. At the very least, you are more decisive than my cousin, taking action when necessary without hesitation, and your heart is hard enough that even the county magistrate dares not kill you, showing just how resolute you are..."

  Yang Shuangfan tilted his head and smiled wryly, saying in a weak tone: "Cui Niang, it seems you're mocking me. I always thought I was a good person, but after your analysis, I'm actually an unscrupulous hero."

  Cai Bingxiao shook her head gently and said in a warm voice, "I don't know if this is sarcasm or not, but the feeling you give me is that being an overlord isn't bad at all. You're ruthless enough, resolute enough, calm enough, and decisive enough. Your methods are also toxic enough. These are the basic qualities that a superior person should possess. After all, not everyone can be an overlord."

  Yang Jirui let out a deep sigh and said with a bitter smile: "Cai'niang, if you praise him like that, it's really... ah ha, a hero, it's been a long time since someone evaluated our Yang family like this. Alas, let's see if there's a way to get out of here first."

  Suddenly, Su Yunfeng, who was lying on the ground, groaned and said coldly: "Yes, Yang Shuangfeng, you are indeed a good person, with a ruthless heart and poisonous means. You have already laid hands on a weak woman twice."

  Yang Shuangfeng suddenly turned his head back, only to see Su Qingrou struggling to get up, and he didn't know if it was excessive anger, her chest violently heaving, in the open black skirt, it looked even more tempting, making Yang Shuangfeng's heart beat involuntarily faster, and his face also became hot.

  I don't know why, but Yang Suofeng also seemed to have no good feelings towards Su Yunruo. When he heard the other's sarcastic words, his heart actually had a bit of an angry feeling, but he didn't explode in anger. He just calmly said: "I've never said I'm a good person. You see, my name has a 'dai' character, which fundamentally shows that I'm a wicked person. So, you mustn't treat me as a good person!

  He paused, and Yang Shuofeng's eyes gazed deeply into the distant east, saying slowly: "In my past life, I had always wanted to be a good person, but reality forced me to become a bad person. I did many bad things and killed many people. For this, I accepted the judgment of the law and paid the price with my life. Heaven mercifully forgave me and gave me another chance to start anew. So I decided to still be a good person. But Mu Shunying's appearance told me that being a good person is difficult, good people are always misunderstood, good people are always bullied, good people can't hold their heads high, and good people cannot stand upright in this world. I don't want to be a humiliated and powerless good person. I want to be a bad person, a real bad person, a bad person who can dominate the winds and clouds."

  Yang Shuang's voice became increasingly cold and slow, with a hint of suffocation and determination in his tone. However, it ended with a slightly ominous feeling that sent chills down one's spine. He said: "So, don't use the standards of good people to measure me, nor try to understand me with the thoughts of good people. Otherwise, it will bring you unpleasant consequences."

  Su Yun's face turned pale and white, listening blankly to his cold and measured words.

  Cai Bingxi hurriedly went to help her up, but unexpectedly was pushed away by Su Yunruo with one hand, and at the same time slapped her face fiercely, instantly leaving five fingerprints. Su Yunruo clapped her hands in satisfaction and disgust, saying sharply: "You are indeed a little hoof who can't bear to see men, as soon as you see a man, you start flirting, really shameless cheap goods."

  She was stunned for a moment, then froze, tears welled up in her eyes, but they never fell.

  Yang Shuang's face suddenly turned red with rage, and she grabbed Su Yunfeng's wrist, twisting it into a nearly right angle, causing Su Yunfeng to wince in pain, her eyes welling up with tears, and her face contorted. Only when Su Yunfeng's face turned pale and she was on the verge of fainting did Yang Shuang release her grip, saying coldly: "Miss Su, after all, she is your cousin, can't you speak a little more kindly?"

  Su Yun looked down at her wrist, where there were also five black marks like eagle claws. The intense pain made her almost jump up, but she was a very strong-willed person and didn't make a sound. Instead, she retorted with a cold smile: "Is that so? You've taken a liking to her? What qualifications do you have to say that about me? If you want to take over our family's property, go ahead and use other means, don't rely on eating soft rice..."

  Before the words had fallen, Yang Shuangfeng's face suddenly changed, turning a dark red color like pig liver. This sentence deeply hurt the wound in his heart, and he didn't think twice before raising his hand to slap her, instantly sending her flying out.

  "Stop it!" cried Cai Bing.

  Yang Shuang looked coldly at Su Yunfeng who was struggling on the ground, and said in a gloomy tone: "You dare to spout nonsense again!"

  Su Yun's temper was very stubborn, she struggled to get up from the ground, covering her bleeding mouth corner, and pointing at Yang Su Feng with a fierce expression: "Isn't it? Isn't it that I saw through your scheme? Haha, do you think I'll fall for your despicable tricks? You actually killed Mu Zhi Fu, are you still human? If you have the guts, kill me too, anyway my husband is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore!"

  Yang Shuangfeng's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word. Suddenly, he raised his hand and fired a shot. A bandit who had just poked out his head from outside let out a miserable cry, and then there was no more sound. From then on, no one in the bandits dared to speak again. It was clear that the one who had been shot was the bandit who was good at flattering people. However, Yang Shuangfeng's gaze kept searching for that beautiful young man, but after searching several times, he still couldn't find him.

  The intense smell of gunpowder spread around Su Yunruo, making her unable to help but cough softly. Yang Shuangfeng's eyes sank deeply as he slowly lowered the muzzle, but then slowly raised it again. Su Yunruo's face turned pale as she watched the muzzle slowly aim at herself, and suddenly, she let out a sharp cry, hiding behind a large tree without regard for anything else. Cai Bingxiao's face turned pale as she pressed down on Yang Shuangfeng's gun muzzle, shaking her head desperately.

  But Su Rong's mouth was still smelly and hard, relying on the big tree to block her, hiding behind and shouting hysterically: "Yang Shuofeng, you actually want to lay hands on a woman who is unarmed? Where is your conscience? Are you still human?"

  Yang Shuangfen slowly moved the gun away from Su's head, her voice calm and detached. "Miss Su, we're both people who are going to die in Menis, our minds aren't like normal people's. I hope you understand that, don't measure my actions with a normal person's mindset, or you'll pay the price in blood. Do you think killing you is the best solution? Wrong. If you anger me, I'll hand you over to those bandits. They'll be delighted to have a beautiful woman like you... they'll fawn all over you, comfort you, warm you up, give you everything you need..."

  All the women were chilled to the bone by Yang Shuangfeng's cold and stern words, Cai Bingxia almost moaned: "Don't, absolutely don't, Sister-in-law will be humiliated to death by those people."

  Yang Shuang said coldly and ruthlessly: "Then let her shut up!"

  Su Yunfeng cried and shouted: "If you have the ability, kill me!"

  Yang Shuang said coldly, "Not only will I not kill you, but I'll also take you back to Menis! You were born a person of Menis, and you'll die as a ghost of Menis. This matter isn't for you to decide!"

  "Suxiangyu shouted unwillingly: 'You can't! Our family's assets, I will never give them to you! You are a despicable, shameless, lowly, inferior, sinister, poisonous, and arrogant white idiot, two hundred and fifty stupid three..."

  Yang Shuang smiled slightly and said softly, "Miss Su, I'm not the kind of person you described, but I hope to become that way. Otherwise, how can I deal with so many enemies in the Minnis area? If one day I accidentally recover the Minnis area because of Miss Su's guidance, I will definitely come to welcome Miss Su as my legitimate wife, if you are willing."

  Su Yunru was taken aback for a moment and suddenly had no words, then her face turned crimson again.

  Cai Bing softly poked out her tongue, tiptoed to Su Yunjin's side and whispered: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, General Yang was just scaring you! The danger earlier was all because he came in here behind your back! He won't hurt you! Can you two please stop quarreling?"

  Su Rongyu still hated her and pushed her away, standing by the tree with a stern expression, staring fiercely at Yang Shuangfeng.

  Yang Shuangfen ignored her and turned to Cai Bingxiao, saying: "Does your family have any special dialect that only you can understand?"

  "What's going on?"

  Yang Shuangfeng pointed ahead and said, "Tell those two sisters to slowly crawl over here. I'm afraid the enemy will launch a group attack. They have many people and momentum. At that time, I won't be able to cover them. Let them crawl along the side of the road, and I'll open fire to cover them. Tell them not to be afraid."

  Cai Bingxiao hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and called out in a low voice to that side. Her words were not understood by Yang Shuangfeng, but Cai Mianmian and Cai Xuanxuan both looked up in shock, Cai Mianmian staring at the front in surprise, while Cai Xuanxuan frantically shook her head.

  Yang Shuang said in a low voice: "Tell them there will be no danger, I can guarantee it."

  Cai Bingxiu called out a few more times, and Cai Mianmian and Cai Xixi hesitated before slowly crawling over. The heavy rain was still falling, the ground was muddy and treacherous, and the two of them were already soaked in the icy cold rainwater, suffering greatly. Now, they had to crawl around, making them even more miserable.

  Suddenly, someone in the bandits let out a shout, followed by a loud voice shouting: "Those two women have escaped, those two women have escaped, quick, shoot arrows, quick, shoot arrows!" However, no matter how he shouted, none of the bandits dared to stick their heads out.

  The man who was shouting loudly shouted a few more times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. With a loud "whoosh", he jumped out, drew his bow and arrow. But Yang Suofeng just raised her wrist, and the dull sound of the gun pierced the silence. The fierce and fearless big man suddenly had a flower on his face, and then fell backwards. The bullet passed through his nose, and then came out from the back of his head, bringing up a burst of blood rain.

  But at this moment, someone among the bandits shouted loudly: "Up! Up! Get up for me! Whoever continues to crouch here, I'll cut him down first!"

  Suddenly a rustling sound came from among the bandits, and a snickering sound came from the woods where they were hiding.

  Cai Bing's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Their new boss seems to have arrived."
