Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

"Click."

The sounds of bolts being pulled back echoed through the empty workshop, sounding particularly jarring.

A dozen or so dark gun barrels, like a dozen pairs of eyes from hell, locked onto the lone figure at the door from all directions.

"Liu Ming, you really came."

The kidnapper leader, Scorpion, grinned maliciously and pressed the revolver in his hand even harder against Xi Wanqing's temple. The cold metal even left a shallow mark on Xi Wanqing's smooth skin.

"I thought someone like you, a high-ranking official, would cherish your life more."

The scorpion's eyes were filled with a smug and cruel glint, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Now, I'll set the rules of the game."

He stretched out his other hand and pointed to the ground beneath Liu Ming's feet.

"Kneel down!"

"Throw all the weapons you have at me!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure your delicate deputy mayor's brains explode in the next second!"

In his view, this multiple-choice question was not difficult at all.

As long as Liu Ming wants this woman to live, he must obediently listen to her and become a lamb to the slaughter.

However, Liu Ming's reaction once again exceeded his expectations.

Liu Ming looked at him, her face showing not the slightest fear or hesitation, but rather a hint of... pity as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Your name is Scorpion, is that right?"

Liu Ming spoke softly, her voice not loud, yet it clearly drowned out all the noise in the workshop.

"I've heard of you. A notorious outlaw in the Golden Triangle, with a few lives on his hands, who thinks he's someone important."

"pity……"

Liu Ming shook her head, her eyes looking as if she were looking at a pile of stinking garbage.

"...You're too unprofessional."

"What did you say?" The scorpion was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage!

amateur?

He, the number two figure in the prestigious "Blood Wolf" mercenary group, was actually called an amateur by an office worker?

This is an absolute disgrace!

"I told you you're an amateur, and you still disagree?"

Liu Ming sneered, stretched out her finger, and pointed in the air.

"First, you chose the wrong battlefield. Playing with fire in a chemical plant filled with flammable and explosive chemicals—are you preparing for your most spectacular cremation?"

"Secondly, you chose the wrong hostage. You think she's my only weakness? You underestimate me, and you underestimate her too."

"Third, and most fatal."

Liu Ming's gaze swept over the desperate criminals around him, who were holding guns but breathing heavily with tension. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Your biggest mistake was thinking you could scare me with these few pieces of junk."

"You have no idea what you're really facing."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Liu Ming made a move that left everyone speechless!

He actually threw the powerful HK416 assault rifle in his hand onto the ground!

"Clang!"

The sound of metal hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the deathly silent workshop.

This is not over yet!

He then pulled out the spare police pistol from his waist and threw it on the ground as well!

"What...what are you doing?"

The scorpion was completely dumbfounded!

He had thought that Liu Ming would try to bargain with him, or even put up a stubborn resistance.

But to his utter surprise, the other party actually... surrendered?

And they paid so readily, so... arrogantly?

"I told you, I'll deal with you amateur trash."

Liu Ming clapped her hands, her demeanor as relaxed as if she were taking a stroll in her own backyard.

"Using a gun is an insult to bullets."

He slowly pulled out the Dragon Fang military dagger from his military boots; it was jet black and emitted a cold, eerie blue light.

The dagger traced a cold arc under the light.

That instant.

Liu Ming's entire aura suddenly changed!

If he was still a tiger locked in a cage just now, with some reservations...

At this moment, the tiger has completely broken free of its shackles, revealing its most primal and terrifying... fangs!

That overwhelming killing intent, which seemed to tangibly condense from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, instantly filled the entire workshop!

Those previously arrogant desperados, upon being struck by this murderous aura, instinctively took a step back in unison!

They felt as if they were being relentlessly targeted by a ferocious beast from the ancient wilderness!

Even breathing has become difficult!

"bring it on."

Liu Ming gripped the military dagger in his backhand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

He looked at the dozen or so dark gun barrels in front of him, and a wild, bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

"Time is precious."

"All of you, come at me together."
