About ten minutes later, the bandits drove into Xiyuan Town in Mao Kangping's Land Rover. At the entrance of Xiyuan Town, a large crowd had already gathered, most of whom held gun barrels in their hands and let out joyous, strange cries from their throats. The bandits who had taken Ye Chenfeng and Mao Kangping hostage must have just called to notify their accomplices in Xiyuan Town, these people were celebrating their haul for the day!
Ye Chenfeng glanced through the car window and roughly estimated that there were about a hundred bandits, about half of whom were armed with guns. Behind these bandits stood men and women dressed simply, their faces filled with anger—these must be the original residents of Xiyuan Town.
Ever since Xiyuan Town had been occupied by this group of bandits, these villagers had attempted to resist, but anyone who did never ended well, all falling to the bandits' guns. Over time, no one dared to stand up against them anymore.
