Wen Li didn't have time to think about why Jiang Yue'er suddenly wanted her life; her heart was focused on the person behind her.

"Click~"

The leaves rustled underfoot, and the sound of footsteps was like a death knell, making Wen Li's heart jump again.

As the footsteps drew closer, Wen Li felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, her whole body soaked in sweat.

Wen Li calmed herself down and silently counted the distance in her mind.

The man had already reached behind the tree. Wen Li immediately stood up, picked up a dagger, and lunged at him.

The man didn't expect Wen Li to react so quickly. Knowing that Wen Li was strong, he didn't dare to confront her head-on. He tilted his body and Wen Li fell into the bushes next to him.

He quickly took out a hoe, aimed the muzzle at Wen Li, and Wen Li rolled over in the grass before hiding behind a tree again.

Upon seeing the prominent mole on the man's face, Wen Li was horrified. How could it be Brother Long?

Wasn't he already captured by Lu Zechuan?

His presence here reveals Lu Zechuan's true identity...

Wen Li dared not think about whether Lu Zechuan would still be safe if his identity were exposed.

After calming her racing heart, Wen Li knew she had to deal with Brother Long today, otherwise, if Lu Zechuan's identity were exposed, those enemy agents would probably fight back desperately.

And his mission was not to be accomplished; it concerned the great cause of the nation, and Wen Li dared not be careless in the slightest.

She gripped the dagger tightly and darted out from behind the tree.

Brother Long dodged again, but Wen Li was too fast, and Brother Long's arm was still cut by Wen Li with a deep gash.

Brother Long glanced coldly at the wound on his arm, seemingly oblivious to the pain, while his sharp eyes watched Wen Li with great interest.

"No wonder you were able to take down Sister Mei and the others all by yourself!"

Wen Li looked at Brother Long nervously. His clothes were tattered and filthy, and the muscles and veins on his arms were bulging. Although he spoke casually, his eyes were like those of a venomous snake, making people's hair stand on end.

Although Wen Li was strong, she had almost no real combat experience, unlike Brother Long who was a veteran of countless battles. She had no confidence at all.

Besides, Brother Long also has a gun.

"Jiang Yue'er is an accomplice too. Since you chose to cooperate with her, I suppose you don't really want to avenge your brothers!"

Wen Li could only try to buy time. Although this place was deep in the mountains, the village should be able to hear the commotion. Lu Zechuan knew that he was in the back mountain and would come as soon as he heard the noise.

"Indeed, those good-for-nothings are dead and that's it, there's nothing to regret. I can just wait for the right opportunity to make a comeback."

But my brother is dead! He was kind-hearted since he was little, he wouldn't even step on an ant, but you killed him. He lay in my arms, covered in blood, and I watched his body grow cold. Tell me... should I seek revenge on you?

As Brother Long spoke, he became more and more agitated, his jaw clenched, and his expression grew increasingly distorted.

Wen Li's heart sank. She hadn't expected that this was the reason why Brother Long wanted to take revenge on her.

Seeing that Brother Long looked somewhat deranged and was holding the gun rather unsteadily, it seemed that Brother Long had a deep affection for the younger brother he mentioned. It appeared that his brother's death had been a great blow to him!

Her thoughts shifted, and she uttered cold words, "What does your brother's death have to do with me? Isn't it because you did too many wicked things that he died?"

"Furthermore, your brother died protecting you from disaster. You're the one who should have died, so why are you blaming others?"

Sure enough, after hearing Wen Li's words, Brother Long's forehead veins bulged and his body began to tremble.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Li rushed forward with a dagger. Brother Long was distracted and lost his composure when he fought back.

Wen Li clenched her fist and swung it at his face, while Brother Long kicked her in the stomach.

Long Ge was forced back a few steps by the beating, and Wen Li was kicked to the ground. Long Ge used all his strength in that kick, and Wen Li felt pain in her internal organs.

Brother Long wasn't in much better shape either. Wen Li's punch had broken his jawbone. He seemed oblivious to the pain, turned his head to spit out a mouthful of blood, and then raised a hoe to aim at Wen Li's head.

Jiang Yue'er, who was not far away, saw this scene and her hands trembled with excitement. Wen Li was about to die!

Sure enough, she made the right choice to find Brother Long. Brother Long hates Wen Li to the bone, and he won't miss such a good opportunity to kill her!

Wen Li clutched her chest and took two steps back. Brother Long's eyes were bloodshot as he walked towards Wen Li step by step.

"You should go down and be buried with my brother!"

"stop!"

"boom--"

"ah--"

The sound of bullets rang out, accompanied by Brother Long's painful screams and the sound of bullets piercing flesh.

Wen Li felt warm liquid dripping onto her face, and the smell of blood spread to her nose. Looking at the person protecting her, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and her voice trembled.

"Lu...Zechuan, where are you hurt?"

Lu Zechuan patted Wen Li's head reassuringly, "Don't worry, it's just a shoulder injury, nothing life-threatening!"

When Wen Li saw the large patch of blood spreading across his shoulder, her eyes instantly reddened.

"How could you be so stupid? I could have dodged it!"

Lu Zechuan's lips curled up. "It's just a possibility, not a certainty, but I can guarantee with 100% certainty that my life won't be in danger!"

"Are you still being sarcastic?"

Lu Zechuan's lips were a little pale from blood loss. "Okay, enough joking around, let's deal with that problem first!"

Wen Li nodded and slowly helped Lu Zechuan to his feet. Jiang Yue'er, who had been hiding in the shadows, had already run away.

All that was left was Brother Long, whose head had a huge hole in it.

Just as Brother Long was about to fire, Wen Li picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at Brother Long with all her might.

As soon as Lu Zechuan arrived, he saw Wen Li being held at gunpoint by Brother Long. His mind went blank, and he instinctively lunged at Wen Li.

Then, the scene I just witnessed happened.

Wen Li was strong; she smashed a large hole in Brother Long's head, and he was still bleeding from it, but he was still breathing.

Seeing that Lu Zechuan didn't make a move, Wen Li lowered her voice and reminded him, "We can't let him leave the mountain alive. He knows who you are!"

Lu Zechuan gave Wen Li a reassuring look, "Don't worry, he doesn't know!"

Seeing this, Wen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since he didn't know Lu Zechuan's identity, it didn't matter whether he lived or died.

"Wasn't he arrested before? How come he's here?"

Lu Zechuan's expression turned serious. "This matter is not simple. Don't get involved!"

Wen Li nodded. "I understand, but he's involved with Jiang Yue'er; she's the one who wanted to kill me!"

When Lu Zechuan heard Jiang Yue'er's name, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He had tried to get rid of Jiang Yue'er without anyone noticing when he was deep in the mountains.

But she seemed to have supernatural insight, always managing to dodge his traps.
