Almost
simultaneously, hundreds of kilometers away in Long Kun's water cave hideout, two people were also
in a state of extreme anxiety. These two people were Meng Chong and A Jian.
After revealing their hand to Du Mai yesterday, Du Mai almost flatly refused, which chilled their hearts.
Fortunately, he hadn't completely closed the door, leaving a last glimmer of hope. Moreover, they knew that Du Mai
had contacted his family last night and was now waiting for a reply.
But now, most of the day had passed, and there was still no movement from Du Mai, making Meng Chong and A Jian
as restless as ants on a hot pan.
Although Meng Chong had made a harsh statement yesterday that if the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, they would take Man Feng and seek refuge elsewhere, in reality
, he knew best that the K tribe's controlled area was the most reliable place to stay at the moment.
When A-Jian arrived at the Water Cave with Long Kun's instructions, Meng Chong realized just how perilous the situation was. It turned out that
after killing Deng Min, the T country hadn't stopped their investigation; instead, they had made Long Kun a key target. Not
only were Long Kun's original strongholds under investigation, but now, with Pinong's escape, even the Water Cave might not be safe.
Long Kun's move to the LS country was actually a last resort. While Meng Chong and his group
could reunite with Long Kun in the LS country if absolutely necessary, it would only be a temporary measure. The
secret stronghold on Mengjia Mountain in the LS country was originally Deng Min's territory. If the Water Cave wasn't safe, then the fate of Mengjia Mountain was predictable.
Only territory controlled by the KS army was the ideal ultimate refuge. Once there, even if a little information leaked
, others could only lament helplessly. The K tribe would certainly not allow others to do as they pleased on their territory
. This was also the main reason why Long Kun insisted that everyone carry weapons. A tiger with sharp teeth always makes people
wary. But he really had no idea whether the other party could accept this condition.
As for how effective it would be to use Manfeng to blackmail Du Mai, Meng Chong was really unsure. It was only because Du Mai seemed to
cherish Manfeng that Meng Chong saw her as a treasure. In Meng Chong's eyes, no matter how noble her background was or how beautiful she had once been, Manfeng
was now just a plaything they had ruined, or even a burden. If it weren't for Du Mai, Meng Chong
might not have bothered to take her with him even if he were to run away now. As
the two were secretly plotting, a subordinate sneaked in. He closed the door tightly and whispered to
Mengchong and Ajian, "They've received a reply."
"Oh..." Mengchong's eyes lit up. "Let's go see." Before leaving, he didn't forget to add
, "Tell them to keep a close eye on Fengnu and be ready to obey my orders at any time."
The two hurried into the living room of the accommodation area and, sure enough, saw Du Mai looking at a piece of paper in his hand, his face serious
.
As soon as Mengchong entered, he asked directly, "How is it, brother? A reply?"
Du Mai didn't seem to mind Mengchong's impulsiveness. He turned to look at Mengchong and snorted, "There's a reply . But it's not good news for you. The elders don't accept your conditions, and 　　they only reluctantly nodded
in agreement with my proposal ." 　　"This..." Mengchong and Ajian looked at each other, not knowing what to say. 　　Du Mai frowned, pondered for a long time, then looked up at Meng Chong and said, "How about this, I'll compromise again. You 　　can have two more people carrying guns. Four guns in total, but only light weapons for self-defense. Also, I personally 　　guarantee your freedom of movement. However, you can come and go as you please, but I can't 　　allow you to come and go as you please." 　　"Won't that mean the brothers will go to jail?" Meng Chong muttered unhappily. A Jian remained silent, his eyes 　　darting around, seemingly plotting something. 　　"You can't say that. Once you're there, you'll be my friends, Du Mai's friends. I'd like to see who dares to disrespect me, dares to be 　　disrespectful to Master Long and his men..." 　　Du Mai was only halfway through his sentence when the door was suddenly flung open, and a dark-faced man rushed in in a panic 　　. Mengchong frowned and growled at the dark-faced man in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, how can you be so rude? Can't you see 　　we're discussing serious matters with the General!" 　　The dark-faced man seemed not to hear Mengchong's reprimand and stammered, "Chong... Brother Chong... 　　Mr... Mr. Suwen..." 　　"What Mr. Suwen..." A-Jian interrupted impatiently. But before he could finish his sentence, he stared 　　at the door, dumbfounded as if he had seen a ghost. It turned out that the person who appeared at the door behind the dark-faced man was indeed 　　Suwen. 　　A-Jian stepped forward, pulled Suwen inside, closed the door tightly, and then glared at Suwen, 　　questioning him rudely, "Didn't I specifically go to you on my way here to convey Master Long's instructions, telling you to go to Singapore, Malaysia, and 　　Java to lay low? Why did you come here without even saying goodbye? 　　Does Master Long's word no longer carry weight?" 　　Suwen's chest heaved violently, clearly trying to suppress something. He rolled his eyes and said, "It's too 　　late, something terrible has happened!" 　　"What terrible thing?" Mengchong and Ajian asked almost simultaneously. 　　"The Eagle's Nest camp has been raided, by T country special police..." 　　"What..." Mengchong's expression was tense. Du Mai, sitting to the side, twitched, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing 　　, but Ajian shook his head helplessly. The old camp in the mountains had been under surveillance for a long time. Long Kun had 　　made arrangements long ago, using it as a pawn to distract the police, so Ajian wasn't surprised that it had been raided. 　　"Ayu has also been arrested." 　　This sentence was truly shocking. Ajian's face immediately changed: "How is this possible? How did Ayu get involved 　　in this?" 　　Ayu was a mole that Long Kun had planted in a small fishing village by the border river, and also a transit point for communication between the water cave and the outside world. 　　Mengchong and his group were able to hide safely in the water cave mostly because Ayu was providing them with external support. Ah 　　Jian was filled with dejection. Long Kun had long ago cut ties with the old camp in the mountains as a pawn, thinking that he could ensure safety, but unexpectedly, 　　a mistake had occurred here.

Suwen shook her head helplessly and said, "Ah Xing, who stayed behind at the old camp, is Ah Yu's younger brother. Ah Yu
didn't tell anyone. I don't know when they made contact, but the police found a clue and caught them all."
Ah Jian's eyelids twitched twice, and he gave Meng Chong a wink. Then he grabbed the dark-faced
man who had brought the message and ordered without hesitation, "Fourth Brother, go to the cave entrance and keep watch. Report any movement immediately!
Don't be careless!"
Fourth Brother agreed and turned to leave. A-Jian pulled Meng-Chong aside and whispered, "Quickly inform the brothers
to prepare for evacuation. Forget the goods and equipment, take the weapons, gold, silver, and valuables... Also,
take Feng-Nu and Hong-Nu. In addition, immediately notify the other side to send a boat to pick us up."
Meng-Chong looked at A-Jian with some surprise: "Is it that serious?"
A-Jian glanced at Su-Wen and nodded, "It's urgent. If we're too slow, we might all be finished."
Seeing Meng-Chong nod and give the orders, A-Jian turned to Su-Wen: "When was A-Yu captured?
How did you know?"
Su-Wen sighed and said, "It was around eight o'clock this morning. One of my men lived near her and saw her being
captured, so he immediately came to inform me. I had just received news that the old camp in the mountains had been raided. With A-Yu captured
, you guys are in danger. I had no other choice but to run here to inform you immediately."
"How long can A-Yu hold out?" Meng-Chong asked with concern.
A-Jian shook his head, glancing at Su-Wen intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "It doesn't matter how long A-Yu can hold out.
Someone's already led the way..."
Before A-Jian could finish speaking, as if confirming his judgment, Lao Si hurriedly pushed open the door
and said to Meng Chong, "Brother Chong, it's bad! A large number of police have been spotted outside the cave!"
Meng Chong was shocked: "Damn it, they came fast. How many are there?"
The dark-faced man shook his head: "We can't see clearly through the water, but there are people on the hills and in the ravines outside, and...
and..."
"And what?" Meng Chong was so anxious he almost kicked the dark-faced man.
"There are helicopters, and it seems there's more than one..."
Meng Chong and A-Jian gasped almost simultaneously. Du
Mai, who had been sitting calmly on the sofa without saying a word, also stood up. The female attendant who had been standing behind him quietly opened the door and left. A moment later,
Du Mai's four female bodyguards filed in, standing warily around him with their guns at the ready.
Mengchong's face was flushed, and he was panting heavily. His right hand instinctively went to the hilt of his gun.
Du Mai stood up and slowly approached Mengchong, glancing sideways at Suwen, who was scratching his head to the side.
He teased Mengchong, "Brother, you didn't leave a way out of such a big cave, and you're expecting the brothers to just
charge out?"
"No, no..." A-Jian quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "General, don't worry, they can't stop us.
We'll retreat from the back mountain."
Du Mai had just nodded when Mengchong drew his gun and shouted at the dark-faced man, "Fourth brother, you take some men and guard the cave entrance
... the rest of you, quickly retreat with me from the back mountain..."
"Wait!" Before Mengchong could finish speaking, A-Jian stopped him.
"A-Jian, what do you mean?" Mengchong looked at A-Jian with suspicion.
Du Mai patted Meng Chong's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Brother A-Jian is right, we can't leave now."
"Why?" Meng Chong asked, his eyes wide with confusion.
Du Mai glanced at A-Jian but didn't answer. A-Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Since the police have already caught up, we
must plan carefully before we act. It's broad daylight now, so the police deployment won't be small. Since they've blocked the cave entrance,
they've most likely also sealed off the border river, and they've even deployed helicopters. If we leave the cave now, it will be easier for
them to spot us. Once they've spotted us outside the cave, it will be difficult to escape. So, we must hold out until dark. Only
then will we have a chance to get away unscathed."
Du Mai nodded appreciatively at A-Jian, turned around, and sat back down on the sofa, crossing his legs. Four female bodyguards
stood on either side. Du Mai tilted his head, and one of the female attendants leaned down. Du Mai whispered something in her ear, and she
nodded, turned around, and left.
Ah Jian said to the fourth brother, who was standing by the door awaiting orders, "Take your men and guard the open space outside the cave entrance. Don't provoke
them. The passage in is narrow; no matter how many of them there are,
they won't be able to maneuver. As long as you keep a close watch on both sides of the passage, they won't be able to get in. Guard the entrance for as long as possible, until nightfall."
The fourth brother agreed and turned to leave. Ah Jian pushed open the door and glanced into the corridor outside. He saw Du Mai's
four male bodyguards guarding either side of the door, with Du Mai's two male and female attendants whispering to each other. Further away,
groups of his own men, armed and carrying large and small bags, were wandering around.
Ah Jian spotted Wang Tun and beckoned him over. A-Jian pulled Wang-Tun into the house and
said to him, word by word, "Tell the brothers not to panic. The police can't do anything to us. We'll act after dark. You take
the brothers and move the important things we need to take to the cave entrance in the back mountain, but whatever you do, don't show your face outside the cave."
Wang-Tun agreed and turned to leave. A-Jian turned back to Meng-Chong
, who had followed him out, and said, "Go and inform the brothers outside that the boat is ready at any time, but don't move before dark. We absolutely cannot expose ourselves. As soon as we get out, we'll head to the other side of the river."
Du-Mai, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded with a smile when he heard A-Jian's instructions. Meng-Chong turned and went out the door.
A-Jian suddenly remembered something: "And Feng-Nu..."
Before A-Jian could finish speaking, Meng-Chong had already rushed out like a gust of wind, leaving only half a sentence behind him:
"I know..."
Watching Meng-Chong's disappearing figure, A-Jian shook his head helplessly. Du Mai's female attendant, who had been standing to the side, hesitated for
a moment, then nodded slightly. Her two bodyguards quickly followed in the direction Meng Chong had disappeared.
Seeing this, A Jian paused for a moment, sighed, and turned back into the house.
Inside, Du Mai sat leisurely on the sofa, swinging his legs, while A Jian paced back and
forth restlessly, looking preoccupied. A short while later, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside, the door was pushed open , and four burly men shoved and pushed in Man Feng and Mrs. Hong, still naked with their hands tied behind their backs. 　　A Jian looked back, frowned, and gestured for the two women to be taken aside and kneeled in the corner. He then forced them inside
.

The four burly men who arrived seemed to have received prior instructions. Two stayed with the woman, while the other two returned to
the door, flanking Suwen on either side.
Suwen looked left and right, her expression changing. Just as she was about to say something, Du Mai pointed to
Manfeng and Mrs. Hong, who were kneeling naked with their arms tied behind their backs, and said to Ajian, "Brother Ajian, it
's not good to let them kneel here like this. It won't be easy for them on their journey later..."
Ajian frowned, narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, nodded, and pointed to the bedroom next door,
saying to the two guards, "Take them over there and find them some clothes to wear. They don't want
to be seen naked from afar at night."
The two guards agreed and pulled the two naked women up, taking them to the bedroom next door. Ajian's eyes
darted around as he followed them into the room. The two men had already shoved Manfeng and Mrs. Hong against the wall. One of the men,
who looked like a leader, saw A-Jian come in and quickly leaned close to his ear, whispering, "Should we tie them up and put them in sacks
, so they won't get hurt on the way..."
A-Jian seemed a little distracted, preoccupied with something, opening a cabinet and pulling out a drawer as if searching for something.
Hearing the leader's words, he paused, glanced instinctively at the door, and pulled two large
, dark men's bathrobes from the cabinet, handing them to the man. He shook his head and whispered, "No, the road behind the mountain is difficult to travel. If
we put them in sacks, who will carry them in this cave? Just put these on them for now, and keep a close eye on them. Also,
bring all the supplies, we'll..." As he spoke, he heard the door open, turned around, and saw that Du Mai
had already pushed open the door and was standing in the bedroom doorway.
A-Jian quickly turned around and came out. Du Mai, standing in the doorway, saw the guards in the room putting bathrobes on the two women.
He breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion. Two female bodyguards who had been with him stood on either side of the bedroom door.
Du Mai smiled at A Jian, turned back to the sofa, and before he could sit down, the door was slammed open. Meng
Chong rushed in, shouting to A Jian and Du Mai, "They're here! They're really here, damn it..."
"Oh?" Du Mai stopped, turned around, and walked to the door with A Jian. Sure enough, they could hear
a faint commotion coming from the direction of the cave entrance. Listening carefully, they could hear people shouting, the voices unclear, but they could tell they were trying to persuade
the people inside the cave to come out and surrender.
Du Mai shook his head dismissively and gave a wink to his female attendant who had returned to the room. The attendant came over
and whispered a few words in Du Mai's ear. Du Mai nodded, a smile appearing in his eyes.
The shouting outside continued for about half an hour, then gunshots rang out. But the gunshots were not frequent,
unhurried, as if they were very patient.
Hearing the gunshots, Mengchong led Dumai and Ajian to a small hut outside the drug-making workshop. There was a row of monitors there
; it turned out to be a monitoring room. Mengchong pulled up the surveillance footage from the cave entrance. He saw bullets constantly flying
in from both sides of the entrance. However, because the stone platform behind the waterfall was almost perpendicular to the cave entrance, anyone approaching the entrance from outside
was immediately met with a hail of bullets from inside. Therefore, those outside dared not show their faces, and the bullets couldn't reach
inside. Although occasionally a grenade or two would be thrown into the cave, the open terrain at the entrance
posed no threat to those inside.
Seeing this, Mengchong smiled contemptuously: "Even if they keep shooting like this, until Fengnu gives birth to another child
, they still won't be able to get in..." He stopped mid-sentence, realizing Dumai was right beside him
.
Ah Jian, his face grim, said, "They're not trying to break in; they're testing us, trying to buy us
time. Something powerful is coming. Tell the brothers to prepare a few backup plans in the cave. If they do break in,
hold them off as long as possible, until nightfall."
Meng Chong agreed and reluctantly ordered his men to make the preparations. Du Mai seemed preoccupied,
returning to the living room with his bodyguards, sitting silently on the sofa, lost in thought.
Time passed slowly, and as the sun began to set, the people inside the cave started to show signs of excitement
. Suddenly, a chorus of exclamations came from the cave entrance: "Damn it, what the hell is that… watch out…
watch out…"
Meng Chong and the others ran to the monitoring room and saw a hail of bullets flying across the open space at the cave entrance, with streaks of
fire shooting into the cave from the sky above, causing explosions inside. Mengchong frowned. He realized
that the police were using helicopters hovering outside the waterfall, firing directly into the cave, apparently
preparing firepower for an attack.
He immediately shouted into the loudspeaker, "Watch out, the police are coming in! Don't hold back your bullets,
fire away..."
Before he finished speaking, several small metal canisters rolled into the cave, followed by a few puffs of white
smoke that instantly filled the open space outside the cave entrance, obscuring everything.
The sound of gunfire erupted from inside the cave, so dense it was almost impossible to distinguish individual bullets. This was Mengchong's men firing blindly
. Suddenly, they heard a clanging sound in their ears; upon closer inspection, they realized it was
the sound of bullets ricocheting off steel. The fourth brother and the others looked closely and were immediately shocked. Several miniature armored vehicles, under
the cover of smoke, had rushed in along the stone platform behind the waterfall.
"Quick, load the RPG!" Mengchong shouted. A few minutes later, a rocket exploded in the open field,
but missed the armored vehicle. Before the second rocket could be fired, a string of flames shot out from the armored vehicle's turret
, shattering the firing port.
The return fire from inside the cave suddenly became sparse. Mengchong shouted into the loudspeaker, "Fire!
Where's your gasoline?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, more than a dozen gasoline drums rolled out from nowhere. Immediately afterwards, strings of
flames shot out from the firing ports on the stone wall, chasing the gasoline drums that were rolling around on the ground.
Boom boom boom... A series of explosions seemed to collapse the huge stone cave. After the explosions,
a sea of fire formed in front of the cave entrance. The armored vehicle that had rushed into the cave slowly retreated, watching the terrifying
fire from a distance.
Ah Jian glanced at the monitor, checked his watch, and looked up at Meng Chong, saying, "It's almost done."
It was getting dark. They couldn't get close to the cave entrance in less than half an hour. If we retreat now, they
won't be able to catch us. You go first, take Fengnu with you, and inform the general. I'll go ahead and give some instructions.”
Mengchong nodded to Ajian and said, “Okay, we'll retreat.” He then led a group of his men, limping,
into the depths of the cave.
Ajian arrived at the cave entrance and saw Lao Si with three men watching the fire outside.
There were more than a dozen gasoline barrels beside them. He patted Lao Si on the shoulder and said, “We're starting to retreat now
. You hold them off here for a bit longer. Release the remaining gasoline barrels; don't leave any backup. If you can't hold them off, don't try to fight your way through;
there are several lines of defense behind you. Fight and retreat; if you can hold out for an hour, you've completed your mission. I'll leave you
a boat down there. Someone will meet you when you retreat.” After giving his instructions, he turned and ran into the depths of the cave.
Deep inside the cave, Mengchong was leading the way, limping. Behind him followed Wang Tun and Su Wen,
and behind them, four burly men escorted Man Feng and Mrs. Hong. Both women were dressed in loose, dark nightgowns,
their hands still cuffed behind their backs, being pushed and shoved forward by the men, staggering along.
Close behind them were Du Mai, his eight bodyguards, and two attendants. Du Mai's gaze frequently swept over
Man Feng's stumbling figure. His two female bodyguards walked ahead of him, close to Man Feng.
Behind Du Mai's men were a dozen fully armed men, hurrying along, heads down, without uttering a word
.
The cave grew lower and lower as they went deeper, in many places only wide enough for one person to pass through; the cave walls were jagged and dark, intimidating to behold
. Du Mai walked and observed, seemingly trying to make out the route they had taken.
After walking for more than half an hour, the cave began to slope downwards, and everyone quickened their pace. After
walking for a while, they faintly heard the rushing sound of water. Their hearts skipped a beat; they could smell the river
.
A few minutes later, the group of about thirty people stood on the riverbank. Du Mai looked around and immediately
noticed three speedboats moored side-by-side. Du Mai instantly recognized one of them as
the small boat that had taken them across the river. Looking at the secret dock, it seemed strangely familiar. Du Mai suddenly realized: this was
the place where they had landed the day before yesterday.
Du Mai cursed inwardly. They had walked for over an hour along mountain paths after landing the day before yesterday, and then traveled by car
for most of the night, only to find themselves behind the mountain where the water cave was located. That Long Kun was truly cunning.
At this moment, a man who looked like a boat captain approached Mengchong and whispered to him, "The river patrol just
passed by half an hour ago. They probably won't be back for about an hour. If you want to cross, hurry up..."
A-Jian caught up from behind, looked around, and leaned close to the boat captain's ear, whispering, "
How about going downstream to the LS country's territory and landing?"
The boat captain hesitated, then firmly shook his head, saying, "No way. It's a joint patrol by the military and police of three countries now.
They've increased the frequency since yesterday; a patrol boat passes by every two hours. A patrol boat just went downstream
; if we go downstream, we'll definitely run into a patrol boat coming up from below... Besides, look over there." He pointed
upstream.
A-Jian and Mengchong both looked in the direction the boat captain was pointing. It was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, but they could
faintly hear a low, buzzing sound.
Du Mai, who was standing on the riverbank observing his surroundings, also saw the boat captain's actions. He knew this was a
branch of the border river, very well hidden. The man was pointing upstream of the main stream. Hearing the faint, low
sound, he immediately understood what it was. It was a helicopter. The police must have deployed a helicopter to block the border river while attacking the water cave
, to prevent Long Kun's men from escaping.
At this moment, Meng Chong impatiently patted A Jian's shoulder, pointed to the opposite bank, and urgently waved for his
men to push the two women towards the speedboat on the shore. A Jian looked dejected. He also understood that they were being pursued from behind
, and there were military and police patrolling both in the air and on the river. The slightest hesitation could lead to certain death. This was no place to stay for long.
The only way out was to take advantage of the current opening and cross the river to escape the danger.
Ah Jian sighed inwardly, nodded and called over a man, whispering, "Old Hei, I'll leave you a boat. Take
your men and wait here for Lao Si and the others. We'll wait for you on the other side..." He waved his hand, then reluctantly
led his men towards the riverbank.
Du Mai, standing on the bank, watched as Meng Chong and his men shoved and jostled Man Feng and Mrs. Hong onto
the boat moored in the middle. Seeing that seven or eight people were already on that boat, he quickly gestured to his female attendant
, who immediately beckoned two female bodyguards to squeeze onto the speedboat.
Du Mai led his other men quickly to follow Ah Jian onto the boat. As soon as they were seated, the boat started moving
. The speedboats were powerful and equipped with mufflers, so they were incredibly fast, but the engine noise
was almost completely drowned out by the roaring river. Du Mai stood steadily on the side of the boat, seemingly oblivious to the biting
river wind, his eyes fixed on the speedboat carrying Manfeng speeding past.
