I've finally gotten rid of these three men. Dai Li took a deep breath and immediately picked up the handgun and rifle the men had dropped. He checked them and found both guns loaded.
With guns in his hands, Dai Li immediately felt much safer. He had weapons, so at least he could protect himself now.
If I can escape alive this time, I should be grateful to Adam Holly. If I hadn't gone to his shooting practice center and asked him to teach me how to use a gun, I wouldn't know how to use them.
Then Dai Li picked up the ropes and tied up Santos and the two black men.
In movies and TV series, there were often stories in which the good guy knocked down the bad guy, but didn't give him the last hit to make sure he was dead. Then, one or two of the good guys were killed by the bad guy before he died. Dai Li wasn't going to kill them, but he would not just let them go. If they woke up, they would make trouble for him. Therefore, Dai Li tied them all up.
