Chapter Sixteen: Fighting Bandits

  "Huh?" Lin Feng looked at Li Fei with a surprised expression, "Brother, you four people, I'm alone, look how scared you are. It's just a Han Yang sword, and you dare to come out and rob me?"

  One against four, Lin Feng was calm and composed.

  On the contrary, the bandits were defeated by the Japanese army last night and had become a frightened bird, with their nerves much more tense.

  Now being ridiculed by Lin Feng, Li Fei also felt embarrassed and somewhat angry: "Less nonsense, don't think you can just show off your colors and we'll let it slide. Put down the gun and get out of here!"

  "Ah, bring it on!" Lin Feng said calmly, "You just mentioned your name was Li Fei, right?"

  Li Feiyue was furious, while Lin Feng became even more composed.

  An angry enemy is not fearsome, a calm one is hard to deal with. So Li Fei's current state is exactly what Lin Feng hopes to see, the more he loses his rationality the better.

  As expected, one of the bandits was getting impatient with Li Fei's display of anger and wanted to show off in front of the master.

  "What the f***!" The bandit took a step forward, his gun pointing at Lin Feng's head, "Put down your gun and get out of here, or I'll shoot!"

  Lin Feng smiled and suddenly made a move, the battle-hardened skill was revealed without any warning...

  Splash

  Bang

  "Ahh——" A miserable cry, and the bandit who had pressed his gun against Lin Feng's head flew out...

  Everyone was stunned, as the muzzle of Han Yang's gun was pressed against Li Fei's head.

  "Don't make any sudden moves, my marksmanship is not to be underestimated, and I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt and ruin the harmony!" Lin Feng's face was full of kind smiles, but his words were like knives that made people feel a chill run down their spines.

  Just then, when the bandit was about to press the muzzle of his gun against Lin Feng's head, Lin Feng suddenly made a move. His left hand grasped the barrel of the gun and lifted it upwards with force, while at the same time he kicked out...

  The remaining two bandits saw Lin Feng dare to fight back, just thinking of rushing up, and saw Lin Feng's hand holding the Hanyang-made gun "clattering" sound, and it was placed on Li Fei's head...

  At this time, Lin Feng's kick hit the bandit holding the fire gun right in the abdomen, with a "bang" sound, kicking that little devil to let out a "wow" cry and fly out.

  Seeing Lin Feng fight so well, and with the master of the house being held at gunpoint, the bandits did not dare to make any rash moves again. They stood still on the spot, looking at each other in dismay, some at a loss for what to do.

  Li Fei's face also changed, becoming as pale as paper.

  Because he knew that the soldiers who fought against the Japanese yesterday were badly battered, and those who survived were not the ones who crawled out of piles of dead bodies, taking lives would be absolutely no big deal.

  "Brother...... brother......" Li Fei felt that his tongue was not listening to him, and he was stuck for a long time before he came back to himself. His speech became more fluent, "Spare your subordinates! Please spare us, we just want to make a living." It seemed like he remembered something, and immediately changed his tone, "We are also fighting against the Japanese, yesterday we even had a battle with those little devils, we are one family, one family, haha, haha......"

  I've seen shameless people, but never as shameless as this. One moment they're pointing a gun at someone to rob them, the next they're talking about being "one family". This is truly the most shameless thing!

  Lin Feng closed his eyes and laughed with joy.

  "A family?"

  "A whole family, haha."

  "Are you also anti-Japanese?"

  "Right, right, anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese."

  "Did you still fight with the Japanese army yesterday?"

  "We've been beaten, really beaten; otherwise we wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

  "With just you few good-for-nothings, you think you can fight against the Japanese army? Do you think I'd believe that?"

  Lin Feng looked down on Li Fei.

  "Ah-yo——hey" Hearing Lin Feng say this, Li Fei became anxious. "I'm telling you, Master Jun, we really did fight the Japanese army, it's true! You must believe us!" Then he quickly added in a urgent tone, "Yesterday we originally planned to ambush the Japanese supply convoy, but things didn't go as planned and we were chased by the Japanese instead. We had over ten people initially, now only four of us are left. The Japanese are hot on our heels, we're afraid our hideout will be exposed, that's why we didn't dare return to the mountain and came here to hide."

  When Li Fei said this, Lin Feng only knew that the group of people who robbed the Japanese army's supplies mentioned by Wang Yuzhu were actually Li Fei and others.

  "Awesome! Lin Feng gave Li Fei a thumbs up..."

  Li Fei's face was filled with joy...

  But Lin Feng immediately said: "What does it have to do with you guys whether I resist Japan or not?"

  Great ups and downs, great joys and sorrows. Li Fei's face immediately turned bitter again: "General, General, this time it was our brothers who did wrong. Considering we've all fought against the devils together, please forgive us, General, have mercy!" This time he was truly afraid, even changing his address from "brothers" to "General".

  Lin Feng burst out laughing: "You really think I don't know what kind of person you, Li Fei, are? You're a bandit who occupies the mountain and plunders homes, with a heart as cruel as your hands. You kill people like they're nothing, a complete scoundrel! Let you go? If I let you go, will you let me off? Do you really think I'm easy to fool?"

  To speak of bandits and wealthy families, they are born enemies.

  Lin Feng had never seen Li Fei before, but he was no stranger to the name. Born into a wealthy family, how could he not know about the nearby mountain bandit lair and its leader?

  Li Fei saw that the other party would not give up easily today, and he regretted it in his heart. He regretted seeing the other party's things and having greedy thoughts. Thinking that the other party could rush out of the battlefield with cannon fire, their endurance was definitely not ordinary. However, now that he had just come to his senses, it was too late. You want to give up, but the other party doesn't want to let go yet.

  Forget it, forget it! Li Fei was really helpless and could only grit his teeth and say: "General, today my brothers and I were blind to the situation and offended you. I, Li Fei, am willing to blind myself as punishment and beg of you, General, to spare the lives of my brothers!"

  Li Fei finished speaking, raised his right hand, extended two fingers, took a deep breath, and then ruthlessly poked them into his own eyes...

  Lin Feng didn't think that this Li Fei was still a man, and could even do something as ruthless as blinding himself. A thread of sympathy arose in his heart, and he reached out to grab the hand that was about to poke out Li Fei's eyes.

  "General, you..."

  Li Fei's attempt to blind himself as an apology was stopped, thinking that others would find this punishment insufficient and unwilling to accept it, which made him even more disheartened. He opened his mouth but only said half a sentence before he didn't know what to say anymore.

  Lin Feng didn't say a word, he just retracted the unruly smile on his face and stared at Li Fei with both eyes.

  Li Fei felt that the two gazes staring at him were not just eyes, but a pair of daggers, a pair of cold and piercing blades that stabbed directly into his heart. Being stared at by such gazes for an extended period made one's scalp feel numb, their entire body feeling uncomfortable, like having a thorn in their back.

  Lin Feng didn't say a word and just stood there in a stalemate with the four bandits.

  About five minutes later, Li Fei couldn't help but speak up again, saying in his heart: "My god, whether you're going to kill me or rob me, can't you just give me a straight answer? This silence is killing me, it's like my heart is stuck in my throat!"

  "General, I Li Fei admit defeat today. Who made us not come with eyes open? Whether to kill or to pardon, give me a straightforward word!"

  Li Fei was furious, being stared at for a long time with a knife-like gaze was even more unbearable than death.

  Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh, a very happy laugh, and finally managed to subdue this ruthless bandit chief.

  Lin Feng would never kill Li Fei, because he was very clear that killing Li Fei would not bring him any benefits, but instead would lose the leverage to blackmail the bandits.

  After all, Li Fei was killed, and there were three others lurking around, Lin Feng didn't think he could still easily take on the three of them like this time when they had already been alerted.

  This time it was a bandit's carelessness, being taken advantage of by Lin Feng, that made things go so smoothly.

  But we can't just let them go, otherwise the bandits may not know how to repay kindness, and it's more likely that they will repay kindness with resentment. It's harder to expect bandits to have a good heart than to expect a rooster to lay golden eggs.

  Kill and cannot kill, release and cannot release, what to do?

  The only way to get through is to thoroughly subdue Li Fei, making him feel timid at the sight of himself, and dare not to have evil intentions. Subduing Li Fei, the leader of the gang, is equivalent to surrendering this group of bandits.

  Lam Fung succeeded, his long-standing standoff with the bandits successfully destroyed Li Fei's last psychological line of defense.

  Li Fei thoroughly surrendered.

  So Lin Feng laughed, laughing very happily. With a "whoosh" he shook his right hand and put away the Han Yang sword. He took a step forward, patted Li Fei's shoulder and said: "You and I have no past grievances or recent grudges, why would I want to kill you?"

  Li Fei got his freedom, but he was surprised and uncertain, because he never thought that the military officer who had looked so fierce before would let him go so easily. His joyful heart was replaced by surprise and doubt.

  Lin Feng looked at Li Fei, whose eyes were filled with thick suspicion, and said to himself as if he didn't see him: "As the saying goes, many friends mean many roads. Brother is passing through Li's territory today, hoping Li will give me some face and make a friend!"

  Li Fei immediately felt a sense of being pampered and had an urge to worship Jun Ye.

  "General, please, general!" Li Fei hastily gestured to his companions blocking the road to make way, while saying with gratitude, "Don't worry, General. As long as I, Li Fei, am still in Ma Er Shan, this road will always be clear for you. If you have any errands in the future, just let me know, and I, Li Fei, will not refuse even if it means death!"

  "Oh?" Lin Feng laughed again, looking at Li Fei without saying a word, as if doubting the sincerity of his words.

  Every time Li Fei was stared at by Lin Feng with this kind of scrutinizing gaze, he felt uneasy all over and his heart grew timid, and this time was no exception.

  Just as Li Fei was being stared at by Lin Feng and felt uneasy, Lin Feng spoke up.

  "Never mind, I really have something that's hard to handle. Since Brother Li is so enthusiastic, then please help me out with this one!"

  As soon as Lin Feng opened his mouth, Li Fei felt a lot more at ease in her heart, but after hearing the whole story, she became even more anxious, and even Lian Jun thought it was not an easy thing to handle, thinking about it wasn't a good thing either.
