Ji Shiguang, you can't escape now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruoyun, who had just arrived beside Qi Hui, shuddered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, we're the good guys, don't laugh so evilly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of my way!\" Desperate to escape, Ji Shiguang had lost his reason and charged straight toward Qi Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to fight his way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're courting death!\" Qi Hui sneered and thrust the rifle forward violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gleaming bayonet stabbed straight toward his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the bayonet aimed directly at his eyes and face, Ji Shiguang was terrified; he subconsciously tilted his head, and his desperate charge was instantly interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui took the opportunity to step forward, closing the distance, and lifted the rifle butt sharply, slamming it into Ji Shiguang's chin from bottom to top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled thud, Ji Shiguang's head snapped back, his eyes dazed, his teeth biting into his lip, and blood seeped from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stocky body staggered, unable to stand steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chin is a place where the human vagus nerve is concentrated; it was lucky he hadn't passed out from that blow alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui shifted his body, raised the rifle butt again, and smashed it hard into the back of his right knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the dazed Ji Shiguang lost his balance and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth, trying to get up, preparing to endure his injuries and keep running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to go to jail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was still struggling, Qi Hui unceremoniously struck his back again with the butt of his rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shiguang was smashed back down onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what shocked Qi Hui was that Ji Shiguang still had the strength to struggle to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really was a sturdy fatty; thick-skinned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't get away!\" Ling Xiaosu shouted, leaping over to pin Ji Shiguang down by his back while simultaneously locking his arms tightly around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Ling Xiaosu, Zhang Ruoyun leaped over and pinned himself onto Ji Shiguang's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men pressed down on Ji Shiguang with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui held a bayonet against his forehead: \"If you dare to move again, I'll cripple you right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bright, icy-cold bayonet in front of him, Ji Shiguang, covered in sweat, swallowed hard and finally let his head hang down powerlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1689,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","21e4fc436aad1a864413568e141f390380e77aa7c6dfc674385c0c9a941f9232","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-17","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-15",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
