Gu Ting did not care. He just looked at Yun Xi with a smile.
However, Jing Yu, who was waiting outside, could not see the fireworks signal for a long time. He did not know whether he should go back and get help or just rush in to save the people.
"Boss Jing, Boss Jing!"
The people who had come out from the narrow corridor to look for the thugs outside the door were now walking directly toward Jing Yu with another group of thugs.
"Why are all of you out? Did something happen inside?"
Jing Yu looked at the large group of people but did not see Yun Xi's figure. His heart felt anxious.
"We saw the wretched man we were looking for. Boss Yun asked me to come out and tell these brothers, but when I went back, the door on the narrow corridor was locked. None of us could enter. Now we can only come out to meet you."
The thug explained the situation inside.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and save her!"
Hearing that only Yun Xi and a thug were inside the base, Jing Yu was extremely worried. He wanted nothing more than to break open the door and bring the people inside out.
"Boss Jing, don't be rash! There should be a lot of people inside. With our means and numbers, we can't compete with those people inside. My brothers were soldiers before, so we can see that there are still bullet marks on the doors. The people inside must be not simple. We have to go back and get some help."
This thug was calm. He was able to think of the best solution at such a critical moment, and he was also a talent that could be used.
"Alright."
......
Jing Yu hesitated for a moment, afraid that his current impulsiveness would harm Yun Xi inside. He decided to listen to this thug's words and return to the county town to look for some help. Once he heard that there were even bullet sounds inside, no matter how unwilling he was, a person's face appeared in his mind.
If the person inside really had a gun, he could only seek Zhou Lin's help. This matter was not something these thugs could handle!
"Your people have already left this place. However, if you want to do anything to this wretched man, I don't mind having my people do it for you. My people are your people, and you can use them as you wish."
What Gu Ting meant by this was that he hoped that Yun Xi would no longer count on the bunch of trash she had brought with her. Right now, he was the only person she could rely on, and he had also made it clear that he was here to help her and would not harm her.
Gu Ting waved his hand. Ah Qiang understood his boss' intentions and immediately led a few fierce thugs into the small room.
These fierce thugs walked in, making the entire room seem even more cramped.
"Isn't this place too small? Let me tell you, the back of my base was created to imitate the battlefield. It's like a primitive jungle in there. Let's go there and show off our skills!"
Gu Ting could see the frown on Yun Xi's face, so he gave a signal to the people around him and asked them to carry the wretched man out of the narrow room and into the wild base in the backyard.
It was indeed empty outside. If it was summer, there would definitely be fresh air nearby.
"Tell me, how do you want to punish this wretched man? I've recently discovered a new way of playing. Why don't we dig a hole and bury him with only his head exposed? What do you think?!"
Gu Ting laughed as he spoke, wanting to use this method of his to amuse Yun Xi.
Yunxi did not speak, only staring at the wretched man's expression.
Gu Ting felt that this man was extremely noisy, so he had his subordinates use black cloth strips to cover his mouth. Right now, he could not make a sound at all, but one could see his fear from the tears at the corners of his eyes.
Ah Qiang brought a few burly men with a few shovels and began to dig a hole in the base. As it was winter now, the ground outside was frozen, so it wasn't particularly easy to dig.
The sound of the shovels colliding with the ground was particularly clear. Although the wretched man could not see them digging a hole, the sound of knocking was enough to scare him.
"Boss, the soil is not very easy to dig right now. It might take some time," Ah Qiang said.
"It doesn't matter. All we have is time. Let's take it slow."
Although this sentence was said to Ah Qiang, Gu Ting's eyes were still fixated on Yun Xi. It was as if the words 'take it slow' meant that there was still a long way to go between them.
When the wretched man heard this, the meaning changed as well. Thinking that these people were going to torture him slowly, he was so frightened that he peed his pants and his urine dripped onto the ground.
