Chapter 287: Treating You to a Peanut

Time goes back twenty minutes.

Lin Feng had not yet returned, Hu Lili was already anxious, and a look of worry appeared on Cheng Jiajia's face.

"Why hasn't Mr. Lin returned yet? Could he have run into danger?" Cheng Jiajia said.

"He won't, Lin Feng is so capable, he definitely won't have any trouble," Hu Lili said.

Lv Peng said coldly: "Perhaps he has already been shot dead by someone."

"Are you wishing for Lin Feng to die? What grudge or grievance do you have against him?" Hu Lili questioned angrily, staring at Lv Peng with a glare.

Lv Peng said: "I am stating a fact. They have a gun in their hands, and he rushed over there in such a hurry; if this isn't throwing his life away, what is it?"

"Lv Peng is right, that Lin Feng is truly too arrogant; he has no idea how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!" Yang Fan followed up by saying.

"I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you!" Hu Lili said angrily.

It was at this moment that a rough voice suddenly came from not far away: "What are you all bickering about? I'm about to be annoyed to death by you lot!"

Hu Lili, Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan all turned their heads to look, and the expressions of all four changed drastically.

They saw a bald man walking over from a distance with a sinister grin.

This fellow was wearing a pair of cropped trousers, stepping on a pair of travel shoes covered in mud, wearing several gold rings on his fingers, several gold watches on his wrists, and several large gold chains hanging around his neck.

But none of that was important; what was important was that he was gripping a gun in his hand!

"You... who are you, what do you want to do?" Hu Lili was terrified.

Cheng Jiajia said with a sobbing tone: "I recognize who he is; he is Li Daqing, who robbed that jewelry store a few days ago. The gun in his hand is real... he even shot and killed a female clerk when he robbed the jewelry store..."

Before Cheng Jiajia finished speaking, teardrops were already rolling down her face.

Hearing Cheng Jiajia's words, Lv Peng and Yang Fan turned pale and trembled all over.

Li Daqing walked over with a sinister grin and said meaningfully: "I originally wanted to let you off, but since you've recognized me, I can't let you leave."

Lv Peng hurriedly said: "Brother Li, don't worry, we definitely won't tell anyone about you hiding in Wuyang Mountain, I swear to heaven!"

"Is swearing useful?"

Li Daqing said without any courtesy, and glared viciously at Lv Peng.

Lv Peng immediately shrank his neck and dared not make another sound.

"Speak, who are you people, and what are you doing here?" Li Daqing questioned, his eyes constantly scanning Hu Lili and Cheng Jiajia.

Hu Lili hurriedly said: "We are students from Jiangbei Medical University, we came here to camp."

"Ran to this godforsaken place to camp? This isn't a scenic area," Li Daqing said with a cold laugh.

"It's precisely because it isn't a scenic area that it's worth coming to; we've already visited all the scenic areas," Hu Lili explained with a trembling voice, enduring the fear in her heart.

Lv Peng clicked his tongue a few times and said: "College students these days really have nothing better to do; they don't study properly at school and run around all day. Do you count as pillars of society like this?"

At least better than a villain like you who robs jewelry stores and commits crimes!

Hu Lili thought secretly in her heart, but she dared not say her true thoughts out loud, so she could only force a smile and nod in agreement.

"How many of you are there in total?" Li Daqing asked again.

"Four people, just the four of us," Hu Lili said quickly.

A look of confusion appeared on Cheng Jiajia's face, because there were clearly five of them.

But Hu Lili winked at Cheng Jiajia, and Cheng Jiajia immediately understood her meaning.

Hu Lili was trying to hide Lin Feng.

Li Daqing didn't know of Lin Feng's existence and would likely let his guard down; this way, when Lin Feng returned, there would be a greater chance of rescuing them from this dire situation!

So Cheng Jiajia also said: "Right, there are only four of us here in total, no one else."

"Really?" Li Daqing asked.

"Of course..."

Hu Lili had only said two words when Lv Peng shouted: "Of course not! We still have one more person, that guy is named Lin Feng, and he's very capable! A gunshot just came from the northwest, so Lin Feng went to check the situation, and he hasn't returned yet."

Hu Lili was furious, clenching her fists and scolding: "Lv Peng, what are you doing! Is your brain squeezed by a door!"

"You're the one whose brain is squeezed by a door! We are in a life-or-death situation, and you're still taking such a big risk to cover for Lin Feng. Aren't you afraid that if your lie is exposed, he'll get angry and shoot us all!" Lv Peng roared.

Yang Fan also shouted: "Is now the time to cover for Lin Feng? Shouldn't we be thinking about ourselves first! Hu Lili, I think you really don't want to live! If you want to die, don't drag me and Lv Peng down with you!"

Hu Lili was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

She had already been disappointed in Lv Peng and Yang Fan, but now she was even more disappointed—no, it wasn't just disappointment anymore, it was hatred!

At this moment, she truly wished these two dogs would disappear from in front of her!

"Which one of you is telling the truth?" Li Daqing asked with an evil smile.

"What we two said is the truth!"

Lv Peng shouted, then hurriedly looked at Li Daqing, fawning and flattering him: "Brother Li, I dare to swear to heaven, we absolutely didn't lie to you. We indeed have one more companion named Lin Feng, but that guy isn't from our school, he joined halfway, so we aren't very clear about who he actually is..."

"That's right, that's right, there are indeed five of us, not four, we are telling the truth!" Yang Fan shouted along.

Li Daqing nodded with satisfaction and said with a chuckle: "Not bad, not bad, you two are very sensible, I must reward you."

Lv Peng and Yang Fan were overjoyed and asked together: "Brother Li, can you let us go? We definitely won't tell anyone that you are hiding here."

"No, letting you go is impossible, but I can reward you with something else," Li Daqing said.

"What thing?" Lv Peng asked.

"A peanut!"

As soon as Li Daqing finished speaking, he raised his gun and fired.

With a bang, Lv Peng's head tilted back, and his whole body fell flat on the ground with a thud.

Yang Fan was so scared he wet his pants on the spot, howling like a ghost as he ran away, and even tripped and fell.

His legs went weak, and he couldn't even crawl up, so he simply used his hands and feet to crawl on the ground like a dog.

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out, a spray of blood bloomed from the back of Yang Fan's head, and he immediately lay motionless on the ground.

"How is my marksmanship?" Li Daqing blew on the curling wisps of smoke at the muzzle of his gun and asked with great satisfaction.
