CHAPTER 241: 241: WHO CAN GUARANTEE HIS OWN LIFE?

What is going on...

Not only Huang Shou was stunned, but all the bandits were frozen in their tracks.

A woman who had been cowering behind the tricycle suddenly leaped up, holding a new model of a lady’s laser, aimed at Huang Shou. She was ready to pull the trigger at any moment...

Weren’t they on the same side...

The change happened too suddenly! No one could react in time...

Gu Tong had a contemptuous smile at the corners of her mouth, but it was enough to instill fear. She spoke slowly and deliberately, "Below are all special trainees. Zhou Li would never surrender himself! With his broken body, where else could he go? He won’t make it out of the mountains; it’s a dead end!"

When the words fell, everyone could understand that she was advising Huang Shou not to struggle anymore, that continuing to act up would lead to no good outcome.

"You and I both know, Zhou Li will come back eventually! By then, if not for your hands, who can guarantee his life!"

Huang Shou’s face turned pale, yet it was clear he was convinced by Gu Tong’s ’advice’. He stopped his violent behavior, standing there lost in thought.

"All you want is to persuade me to keep working for Wu Ye! To continue making equipment for the bandits! Now that the special trainees have surrounded the mountain, you’re just bringing about your own destruction!" Huang Shou said through gritted teeth.

Gu Tong’s smile deepened, she scoffed with a cold snort and said, "Wu Ye has thrived under the mountain for a reason! He chose the base on Taiping Mountain because he can control it. Not to mention the special trainees have surrounded it now, even if they come to kill, we have ways to relocate, it’s just a matter of changing to a new base!"

"But your fate and Zhou Li’s are different! Now is a dangerous time; if you rashly resist, there’s no other way than to die in the mountains. Zhou Li’s situation is even more pitiful; his life is in your hands. If you’re gone, what use is it to keep him? You can’t even distinguish such a simple matter and dare claim to protect Zhou Li!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Huang Shou, she’s right. If you die, Zhou Li won’t survive either. You’re not saving Zhou Li, you’re harming him!" At some point, Chuan Er had come to their side, also trying to persuade Huang Shou alongside Gu Tong.

Chuan Er never forgot that Huang Shou once said Gu Tong was one of Wu Ye’s people!

Though he hadn’t believed it at the time, thinking back, it was his own clouded judgment. It was a mistake made in the heat of the moment. How could there not be something fishy with Huang Shou bringing a woman up the mountain? With the current peculiar situation, Gu Tong drew a weapon. Naturally, he categorized her into Wu Ye’s faction.

Moreover, she’s advising Huang Shou, her actions posed no threat to them! This cooperative stance couldn’t help but make Chuan Er trust her.

"If Zhou Li dies, I’ll go down with him!" Huang Shou’s emotions flared up again. Clearly, Zhou Li was his tender spot, and touching it would surely ignite an explosion.

Chuan Er glared angrily, feeling aggravated at Huang Shou’s threat once again.

He was just about to say something but was interrupted by a soft chuckle...

"Wu Ye has said before, your mind never changes. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now I see it’s true! Actually, Huang Shou, your direction was wrong from the start. Didn’t you ever think about working properly for Wu Ye? If you create more benefits for Wu Ye, would the old man treat you poorly?"

"Let alone a defeated soldier like Zhou Li! Even if you wanted a share, Wu Ye can fulfill your request! Do you want Zhou Li to be stuck in the dungeon for life? Haven’t you thought about finding the best doctor for him? Let him be free?"

"Or provide him with a better living environment? All this you can obtain with your own hands! But you stubbornly refuse, making me really doubt if your feelings for Zhou Li are as deep as you say they are?"
