half thorns, half joy

Deng Li raised his head and closed his eyes.

In his ups and downs in his life, he walked on the edge of the cliff many times, but every time, he managed to get over it and saved himself.

But there was never a time when he was so passive like this time, and there was never a time when he was so hopeless like this time.

He could vaguely feel that everything was coming to an end.

His peaceful life was coming to an end after all.

"Huh..." Deng Li calmed down unexpectedly, he turned around and walked back to his seat, and sat down slowly.

But his subordinates were not as calm as him, they walked a few steps towards him with worried and anxious faces.

Deng Li glanced at his subordinates lightly, and then said, "How many people do we have?"

The subordinate replied: "Originally there were 25 of them, but two of them didn't come back after going out, so now there are only 23 left."

"23." Deng Li repeated, "That's a lot."

Indeed, there are quite a few. After all, it is a society under the rule of law. Being able to support so many subordinates and urgently mobilize so many subordinates already shows the strength of Deng Li's power.

However, after all, it is not as many as outsiders.

Deng Li knew how many crimes he was carrying, and arresting him would be enough for those small policemen to brag about for a while, and it was also enough to complete the performance of the police department at the end of the year.

"Heh..." Deng Li smiled contemptuously. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't delay, and should just walk away.

But now, it's useless to say that.

Seeing the unpredictable expression on Deng Li's face, his subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Master Deng, what should we do next?"

"What do you think?" Deng Li asked back.

Hearing Deng Li asking himself, his subordinates became excited, and said arrogantly: "So what if there are too many of them, let's go out and fight with them, at worst, we will die."

Deng Li laughed.

That smile looks negative and pessimistic.

After all, the subordinates have been with Deng Li for a long time, and now seeing the man who was so superior in the past is so uncomfortable, he also became brave.

He plucked up his courage and said to Deng Li: "Master Deng, we are going to protect you, you go. No matter how many of them there are, we can still protect you if there are more than [-] of us."

The matter has developed to this point, and Deng Li is very clear that even if he escapes today, he is just a disgraced fugitive, and his life will be full of anxiety in the future.

When they got to this stage, everything they did was almost an exchange of interests, and they rarely broke their skins. Once their skins were broken, there was no room for maneuver.

"No." Deng Li shook his head, "I'm with you."

His subordinates were moved by Deng Li's short sentence, "Master Deng..."

Deng Li waved his hand, "Okay, go and ask them to guard it carefully. The people outside are not familiar with the terrain here, so they shouldn't dare to attack easily for a while."

"Yes!" The subordinates took the order and left.

"You all go down." Deng Li sent everyone in the small room away.

In an instant, he and Fan Li were the only ones left in the room.

Fan Li rested for a while, and his spirit recovered again. He forced to open his uninjured eye, and looked straight at Deng Li.

Deng Li also looked back at him.

The two looked at each other for a while, and it was Fan Li who spoke first.

Fan Li spoke intermittently, with a cold tone, "Deng Li, don't struggle, go out and surrender by yourself, no matter how capable you are, you won't be able to win today."

Deng Li looked up at Fan Li, grinned, "Are you so sure?"

"Otherwise, what other tricks can you conjure up?" Fan Li struggled to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Deng Li, you've run out of breath, just accept your fate."

"Accept fate?" Deng Li chuckled, "And then go to prison to die of old age? Fan Li, do you think I am the kind of person who is willing to bow his head?"

Fan Li also sneered, "Of course you are not, but sometimes, whether you want it or not is up to you. Deng Li, no one can be proud for a long time, and neither do you."

The sarcasm in Deng Li's eyes gradually disappeared, leaving bits and pieces of helplessness, but more of it was a kind of fanaticism called seeing death as home.

The fanaticism fell in Fan Li's eyes, and Fan Li frowned upon seeing it.

He had a bad feeling.

very bad.

Sure enough, Deng Li spoke leisurely, seemingly a bit leisurely.

"Why do you think I came here?" Deng Li looked around the walls, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Is it just because this is my hiding place?"

Fan Li didn't say a word. Although his body was seriously injured, it didn't affect the rapid rotation of his brain in the slightest.

He also had a flash of confusion about the question Deng Li mentioned before. City A is near the sea, and Deng Li can obviously go to the pier, where it is easier to escape.

It was still dark when he was captured, and he could see that this area was surrounded by mountains. Although it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, its shortcomings were also very obvious, that is, it was particularly easy to be surrounded.

For a smart person like Deng Li, he must have thought about choosing to come to this place.

"Why?" Fan Li couldn't think of it, so he could only ask Deng Li with staring eyes.

Deng Li just smiled contemptuously and remained silent.

"Boom-boom-boom--" There were several gunshots outside the house, the ceiling was shaken, and the soil fell down.

Deng Li's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly.

Fan Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled complacently, "Deng Li, let's capture him with all our hands, and don't make unnecessary struggles."

However, Deng Li ignored Fan Li's persuasion to surrender. When Deng Li walked to the corner, he quickly tapped a combination lock with his finger a few times.

Then Fan Li saw that the dilapidated wall in front of him slowly slid away from the middle to the two sides, revealing a brand new wall.

It was a wall full of various weapons.

Fan Li gasped.

The smuggled weapons on this wall alone are enough for Deng Li to be sentenced to death.

"You... when..." Fan Li was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He felt that it was a bit stupid for him to try to convince Deng Li that there was such a wall, and it would be a capital crime for Deng Li to be arrested without his hands.

Deng Li's eyes flicked over the submachine guns and pistols on the wall one by one, and finally, he picked up a thing that looked like a remote control placed in the middle of a thick glass case.

What made Fan Li unbelievable was not that Deng Li took out this little thing among the pile of lethal weapons.

It was Deng Li's movements, which were extremely cautious.

That movement was like holding some dynamite, and even his footsteps were lightened.

"What are you doing?" Fan Li couldn't help becoming vigilant, seeing Deng Li approaching him step by step, he moved back in fear.

However, he was injured, and his hands and feet were tied up again. After moving for a while, he only moved a dozen centimeters.

He could only watch helplessly as Deng Li came to stand in front of him, and then squatted down again.

In his hand, he was still holding the small remote control firmly.

This time, Fan Li saw clearly the real appearance of the thing that looked like a small remote control.

An unprecedented fear appeared on his face.

"Deng Li...you...don't do stupid things!"
