Chapter 1326: Chapter 1325: Rescue
Before they came in, weren’t they almost robbed?
Moreover, Chen Tianlong also noticed the woman who passed by just now. If the guess is correct, she should have been captured from outside and isn’t a local from Guiyang. Her skin looks somewhat like someone from the seaside.
After all, Chen Tianlong grew up along the coast, and now lives in South Sea City, so he knows a bit about people from that area.
"Chen Tianlong, what do we do? When the police arrive, this stronghold will probably be doomed. Let’s take the chance to hide, and once the people here are caught, we can come out and follow the police back," said Tan Xianglan after thinking it over.
"Xianglan, don’t worry. We’ll act according to the situation. We can’t help these bandits, but we also can’t go out now. If we do, the police would think we’re bandits, and the bandits would think we’re with the police from outside. That way, we’d be caught between two fronts," Chen Tianlong analyzed.
Tan Xianglan, after listening, agreed with Chen Tianlong and nodded. As long as Chen Tianlong is there, she doesn’t need to worry about not getting back. Zhang Li was a bit worried, though, wondering if the conflict between bandits and police would drag them in.
"Zhang Li, when the fighting starts, don’t run anywhere; just hide here. If the police win, we’ll naturally be rescued," Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and softly instructed the two, "I noticed in the stronghold that there were several people who didn’t seem to belong here. If I’m not mistaken, they were captured."
"Captured?" Zhang Li was surprised, yet thinking about it, if even they were caught, then those women had no chance.
"Yes, this stronghold must be eradicated, or who knows how many innocent people will suffer in the future."
It’s not that Chen Tianlong is self-righteous; it’s just seeing these innocent women with their fate clearly being used as playthings.
Tan Xianglan nodded in full support. However, there are two to three hundred in the stronghold, and the main issue is they have many guns and bows.
Chen Tianlong thought for a while, then softly spoke to Tan Xianglan beside him, "Xianglan, come with me later!"
"Okay," Tan Xianglan nodded again.
Sure enough, after Xiao He and his men left, Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan headed into the interior of the stronghold. Chen Tianlong’s aim this trip was to find their arsenal and those captured women.
This stronghold is indeed something; who knows how Xiao He got so much money, there are fifty to sixty houses of various sizes inside.
However, both of them being cultivators, moved swiftly, and soon found a warehouse. Upon opening it and walking in, it was indeed filled with guns, ammunition, and explosives.
Chen Tianlong frowned. The people sent out earlier weren’t all their forces; they just went out to check the situation. If a real fight breaks out later, they’ll surely come back to fetch these weapons and ammunition for support.
Thus, they must destroy them in advance to cut off their backup.
"Xianglan, get to work. Destroy these weapons and ammunition," said Chen Tianlong to Tan Xianglan.
Tan Xianglan understood and nodded, then gathered a burst of powerful Qi towards the weapons and ammunition, pushing forward with a hand.
Dust rolled immediately, clearly destroying almost everything. As for the explosives and whatnot, the fuses were directly pulled, and the bullets hidden away.
After finishing all this, they patted the dust off themselves and started to walk out of the door. Just at the doorway, they discovered a few women hiding nearby, seemingly whispering.
Chen Tianlong used the X-ray ability to check around the corner, only to find the beauty earlier was there too. After thinking, he signaled Tan Xianglan to go over together.
Indeed, in the corner of a house sat five or six young women, who panicked seeing Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan approaching.
"There’s no need to worry, we are not from the stronghold,"
Seeing it was a group of women, Tan Xianglan stepped forward to speak. After all, women communicate better, letting Chen Tianlong speak would scare them, leaving them no mood to listen.
Sure enough, after Tan Xianglan spoke, the woman from before grew bold.
"Is what you say true, little sister?" the woman asked again.
"Of course it’s true. I’m Tan Xianglan from Capital City, and this young man is from South Sea City," to gain their trust, Tan Xianglan began to introduce.
"South Sea City? Is this young man really from South Sea City?" The woman, upon hearing the familiar name, froze. That’s her hometown.
A month ago, she and several friends came over to Guiyang for a night, discovered this place, thought it looked nice, and they, adventurous men and women totaling eight, five women and three men, strayed into the stronghold and were robbed.
Men were locked up in the firewood room, unable to see daylight, akin to imprisonment, given only some white rice and water each day, while the women had utilitarian value, serving the leaders, sleeping, eating with them, and caring for them.
They tried to resist before but couldn’t escape the stronghold. Several escape attempts ended in capture and beatings, thereafter no one dared to flee.
"Yes, I’m from Lotus Village in Sanketan Town, South Sea City," Chen Tianlong had long thought she looked like someone from near his area, now hearing her ask like this, his guess was mostly correct.
"Ah? Sanketan Town....."
The woman was convinced; Sanketan Town is just a small town in South Sea City, outsiders generally wouldn’t know it, and she happened to be from Sanketan Town.
So, convinced, she whispered with her sisters, suddenly, they all knelt to Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan saying, "Please rescue us. We’ve had enough; this is no place for people. Three male friends are still locked in the firewood room."
Chen Tianlong frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Take us to see them!"
"Sure, but there are two underlings guarding the door with guns," the woman said worriedly.
Chen Tianlong coldly chuckled without speaking, understanding Tan Xianglan’s meaning, she simply had the woman take them there. Two men with guns weren’t that formidable.
Soon, the woman led Chen Tianlong to the firewood room. Pointing at the house ahead, she said, "It’s that one. The two standing outside have guns, be careful."
"Sister, rest assured, just two people can’t trouble us. You all wait here, once settled, you can come over," Tan Xianglan said with a calm smile.
"Okay, little sister, be safe." The woman still worried, seeing such a delicate young girl, wouldn’t expect her to be so brave.
