Chapter 29

"Having finished my last words, you little brat can go to your death now!" Said Diaochan fiercely, her eyes flashing with cold light. With her waist as the pivot, she arched her body and swung the large iron hammer high above her head, then brought it down with all her might.

With a "bang," the large iron hammer struck the stone slab on the fat man's chest. The force was immense, and the stone slab cracked. If it weren't for the stone slab, the fat man's chest would have been smashed into a bloody hole.

The fat man felt extremely uncomfortable. Although there was a large stone slab between his chest and the hammer, the impact was so great that it felt like his whole body was falling apart. This was a minor issue; the most important thing was that the nails on the bed of nails pierced him a little deeper due to the force.

The burning pain made the fat man grimace and wince, but he couldn't cry out. His back was already riddled with wounds, all of which were superficial, but the sheer number of them was unbearable. He swore that when it was Diaochan's turn, he would make her suffer tenfold for what he had endured.

"Clang..." Diaochan threw the hammer aside, a sinister look flashing in her eyes. As if she could read the fat man's thoughts, she chuckled and said, "You've passed the third round."

Hearing this, the fat man felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. Colonel Ma and the others hurried over, and with great effort, they lifted the fat man off the bed of nails. Only then did they see that his back was covered in bloody holes. Colonel Ma sighed, and Wang Yi quickly opened the medical kit to treat the fat man's wounds. Upon discovering that the wounds were only superficial, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the group of people surrounding the fat man and treating him like a hero, the corner of Diaochan's mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful and wicked smile. "You stole the incense, and you defecated in my room. This is what you get for your own misdeeds!" she said.

"Filthy woman, it's your turn now!" The fat man growled at Diaochan, determined to reclaim his dignity. Otherwise, he would have suffered in vain.

"You won this round, I forfeit," Diaochan said casually, as if it were a thunderclap. The fat man was momentarily stunned, then glared at Diaochan. He had suffered greatly at her hands today and needed to find a way to turn the tables.

The reason he had suffered was that he had underestimated this woman. This was the first time he had been so badly beaten.

"Three rounds of competition: I won the gun duel, the boxing match was a draw, and you won the courage test. As agreed, you release my brother, and I release all of you except for you," Diaochan said calmly.

"Colonel Ma, go!" The fat man, seeing Wang Yi finish treating his wounds, stood up without caring about his nakedness. He took his gun and dagger from Colonel Ma and walked to the unconscious Sai Laohu, placing the dagger at his throat to provide enough leverage to threaten Diaochan.

"Brother, take care!" Colonel Ma, who had been awakened by the fat man's scolding and had two missions to complete, knew they owed the fat man for creating this opportunity. He bowed and said, "Brother, if you need help, remember to come to Erlong Village, fifty miles away."

"Go, go!" The fat man was in a terrible mood. Colonel Ma was a brother who had shared life and death with him, and his departure left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Next, Lei Dabiao and Xiao Li came to say their goodbyes, making it feel like a funeral. This left the fat man feeling very unhappy. Finally, it was Wang Yi's turn. She couldn't bear his intense gaze, lowered her head, and blushed like a shy wife.

"Don't go sneaking out to capture prisoners anymore. Capturing prisoners is a man's job, not a girl's. If it weren't for me the other day, you would have been captured by the Japanese and... well, you know. What would you do then? What about the wounded?" The fat man scolded Wang Yi, but in reality, he was thinking about how he would take advantage of her if she were to die.

"You're a bit of a rogue, and your mouth is quite foul, but I forgive you. I know you're a good person," Wang Yi said, listening to the fat man's rambling. Though she didn't understand what "being captured" meant, she guessed it was serious. She knew the fat man cared for her and smiled sweetly.

This was a sign of reconciliation, and the fat man felt a surge of joy. However, hearing the highest praise, "You're a good person," his face turned a sickly green. This was a classic line used by women to break up.

"Here, take this pen as a keepsake," Wang Yi, not understanding the fat man's mood swings, thought he was sad about the separation and handed him the pen from her pocket.

The fat man's face lit up again. Wang Yi had never given anything to Zhang Liguang, and the fat man was the only one to receive a gift from her.

The fat man felt elated throughout the farewell process until he watched Wang Yi and Colonel Ma's group leave the mountain. Only then did he return. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Wang Yi gave him the pen because he had done a lot for them and stayed behind to let them leave. The kind-hearted Wang Yi felt she owed him a gift.

In fact, Wang Yi had a more important reason: she was finally free from the fat man and no longer had to worry about his various entanglements. She would never dare to say this aloud, as it would surely enrage the fat man.

"This shabby place, trying to trap me? Dream on!" The fat man thought to himself. Once he recovered, he would break out, and anyone who dared to stop him would be eliminated. The reason he hadn't done this before was because of Wang Yi and the three valuable doctors. He had to ensure their safety first before he could act recklessly.

"Don't even think about escaping. If you dare to run, I will hunt that girl down for the rest of her life, no matter where she is. I will kill her," Diaochan said coldly, making the fat man shudder. This woman was cunning, ruthless, and strategic. If she set her sights on killing someone, that person would likely not survive.

"Heh, I'll come and go as I please. If you dare to kill her, I'll wipe out the Tiger's Mouth Bandit Camp, leaving no one alive. Do you believe me?" The fat man was furious at being threatened and decided to leave the bandit camp as soon as he recovered.

"Who, who dares to wipe out the Tiger's Mouth Bandit Camp?" Sai Laohu, waking up confused, heard this and his eyes widened in anger as he looked around. Finally, he saw the fat man, and his expression hardened.

"Your fat grandpa said it, what of it?" The fat man, emboldened by his "rebellious bone" face, decided to act recklessly. If anyone tried to be tough with him, he would fight to the death. This was a sudden realization he had. In the Tiger's Mouth Bandit Camp, his face had become a legend and a source of strength, and he wasn't afraid to act recklessly. If anyone tried to kill him, they would have to be prepared for the second-in-command to become a widow.
