The man turned out to be Liu Bowen, my best friend at the company!
Liu Bowen had stopped his studies after vocational school and I had no idea how he ended up in our company.
Despite his short stature, he was always loud and often offended people with his careless words.
When he first joined the company, I thought he had a good personality and wanted to help him out.
Liu Bowen was also a shrewd person, always calling me "Brother Ye," and over time, we became very good friends.
When we first arrived on the island, I thought Liu Bowen had died on the ship, and I was heartbroken for a few days. I never expected to see him here today!
Could it be that he was captured by Li Degui and his gang?
Feeling anxious, I quietly descended from the tree and slowly moved towards the bushes near the cave, planning to question him properly when he was alone.
But what I saw next made me disbelieve my eyes!
Liu Bowen emerged from the cave and walked directly towards Li Degui, speaking as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother Gui, that bastard Lu Ziye, how do you want to kill him?"
Damn it, he wanted me dead?!
Hearing this, I was shocked and enraged, and suddenly realized that Liu Bowen was in league with Li Degui!
Damn it!
I had always treated Liu Bowen as a brother, and now it turns out this scoundrel is a two-faced, ungrateful wretch!
Fine, very fine!
One by one, they betrayed me. Since you're all gathered here today, I'll kill you all at once!
I cautiously observed the situation, contemplating how to defeat them one by one.
Liu Bowen seemed to hold a significant position within this group. Li Degui, who had previously ignored Pan Lili, immediately got up from his rattan chair upon hearing Liu Bowen's question.
Li Degui's left leg was limping badly, completely deformed, rendering him a cripple.
I mused inwardly, this scoundrel has good luck; he fell from such a high cliff and didn't die!
As Li Degui and Liu Bowen talked, I overheard everything from the bushes.
It turned out that the leader of this gang was Liu Bowen himself.
He was also the one who took in Li Degui after he survived his fall!
The tall, thin man, holding Xu Jiaojiao, seemingly finished organizing the animal hides and swaggered over.
"Brother Gui, your leg seems more agile than before."
Hearing this, Li Degui's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "This leg is already useless. When I catch Lu Ziye, I will cripple all his limbs and throw him into the swamp to watch him sink little by little!"
Li Degui had completely degenerated!
I scoffed inwardly as I listened!
Kill me, what a joke!
If you couldn't kill me before, and now a cripple wants to deal with me, are you kidding me!
In the distance, Li Degui was still fantasizing about how to kill me when the scene suddenly shifted, and he revealed a lecherous smile: "After we kill Lu Ziye, we'll each take one of his women, except for Shangguan Yao. Once we're tired of them, we'll kill them all."
Liu Bowen also let out a sinister laugh: "Why don't we not rush to kill Lu Ziye, but play with his women right in front of him. Let him enjoy himself before he dies! Hahahaha!"
Li Degui chuckled a few times and made a grasping motion in the air: "You always have good ideas! There's a girl named Qu Xiangyun who could be tried. I can't even handle that girl by myself. I'll definitely watch Lu Ziye's pained expression while making love to that wench in front of him."
Damn it, hearing this made me furious.
Look at yourselves, who do you think you are, daring to touch my women!
It seems that Liu Bowen and Li Degui are indeed birds of a feather. If that's the case, then don't blame me for being merciless!
Among these three, Li Degui is currently crippled, and Liu Bowen is short. Only the tall, thin man seems to have some fighting ability.
I vaguely heard in the company that this guy used to practice boxing; he must be dealt with first!
After carefully considering my combat strategy, I could no longer suppress my anger. I drew my bow and arrow and roared.
"Damn it, I am here!"
With my roar, I shot my bow and arrow fiercely into Li Degui's thigh, pinning him to the ground.
Li Degui screamed and fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
I burst out from the bushes, wielding my alloy knife and, catching the tall, thin man off guard, plunged it into his chest.
The tall, thin man struggled twice, his hands weakly reaching to cover the gaping wound, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Seeing my face stained with blood, Liu Bowen, trembling, suddenly pulled Xu Jiaojiao into his arms and, pulling a dagger from who-knows-where, held it to her neck.
"Lu Ziye! You, if you dare to take another step, I'll kill her!"
Calmly, I walked over to Li Degui and stepped on his leg. With this kick, I drove the arrow, which had already pierced his thigh, even deeper.
Li Degui cried out and instantly rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing my ruthless actions, Liu Bowen couldn't stop sweating, his grip on the dagger faltering.
"You... you don't come any closer! If you come closer, I'll do it!"
I approached Liu Bowen step by step, a playful smile on my face.
"Liu Bowen, I've always considered you my brother, and I never expected that in the end, it would be you who wanted to kill me!"
Liu Bowen's face turned red, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.
Seeing Liu Bowen's reaction, I became even more enraged, a cold glint flashing in my eyes.
"Do you really think holding Xu Jiaojiao can threaten me? You're too naive."
Xu Jiaojiao was terrified and screaming non-stop.
Seeing that I was indifferent to his threat, Liu Bowen slowly approached me, gritted his teeth, and violently pushed Xu Jiaojiao towards me.
Not good, this scoundrel is trying to escape!
I was about to give chase when Xu Jiaojiao suddenly grabbed me, screaming for help. One was a life threatened, fleeing in panic. The other was terrified, clinging to me as if I were a life-saving straw.
In those two seconds of delay, Liu Bowen disappeared.
Damn it!
I was speechless, this beast has a big life!
It won't be too late to deal with Liu Bowen next time I encounter him.
I didn't pursue Liu Bowen any further, but turned back to face Li Degui.
Without any mercy, I stepped on Li Degui's face and ground it down hard.
"Li Degui, are you dreaming of me right now!"
