Chapter 211 Encountering Robbery on the Road
After waiting in the countryside until sunset, Li Qin rode his bicycle back to Beijing.
However, as he rode his bike through a grove of trees, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly froze.
At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at the trees on both sides out of the corner of his eye.
"Armor for protection!"
"Armor for protection!"
"Armor for protection!"
At the same time, Li Qin secretly cast five layers of protective spells on himself.
Li Qin acted this way entirely because just now, he suddenly heard a notification from the system:
[Emotional Power +10]
[Emotional Power +10]
[Emotional Power +10]
[Emotional Power +10]
[Emotional Power +10]
At first, Li Qin thought it was someone from the courtyard who was missing him.
However, upon examining the amount of emotional energy collected each time, he ruled out the residents of the courtyard house as suspects.
Then he realized what was happening.
There are likely people hiding in the woods, and they're after him.
Not knowing how many people were hiding in the woods, Li Qin first cast multiple protective spells on himself as a precaution.
In this way, even if Li Qin encountered some vicious thugs armed with firearms, he would not be injured.
Li Qin then continued in the same manner, singing as he rode his bike forward.
To be honest, Li Qin only had suspicions and wasn't sure if there was really someone hiding in the woods. He was just being cautious.
After riding for a while, Li Qin began to have some doubts in his mind, wondering if he was overthinking things.
Because he was about to leave this road after traveling a short distance, but nothing happened.
This made Li Qin relax a little.
A faint smile appeared on his face again.
The singing also became more cheerful.
With only about twenty meters left before they were out of the woods, Li Qin had to stop the car and get out.
"Is it a coincidence?"
At this moment, a serious expression returned to Li Qin's eyes.
A few meters ahead of him, a not-so-large tree was lying across the road.
The road was a rural road and not very wide; this tree blocked the entire road.
To get through, the only option is to push the car across.
Li Qin felt that things were too coincidental.
First, I received an abnormal system notification, and then the road was blocked.
Most importantly, Li Qin discovered that the system was sending more and more notifications at this time, and the amount of emotional power collected each time was also increasing.
This allowed Li Qin to be almost completely certain that there were indeed people in the woods.
A strange smile flashed across Li Qin's lips.
"Could my luck really be that good, actually encountering the legendary bandits?"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He then got off the bicycle and slowly pushed it forward.
Just as he took a few steps, two people suddenly darted out of the woods ahead.
At the same time, unusual noises came from the woods behind him.
Li Qin subconsciously turned around to look.
They noticed three more figures on the road behind them.
"They're quite clever; they know to block off their escape route."
Li Qin couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
Just then, two flashlights suddenly lit up, one in front and one behind.
The beam of the flashlight shone directly on Li Qin, with the one in front of him pointing directly into his eyes.
Li Qin subconsciously shielded his eyes with his hand:
"Don't you know you can't point a flashlight at people? Move it away now."
Li Qin's tone was full of displeasure.
His reaction surprised the people blocking the way in front and behind him.
In this situation, anyone who isn't an idiot should basically know what happened.
Normally, the reaction to such a situation is either to panic and scream or to struggle and resist.
Not only did Li Qin not react in this way, but he also had the audacity to reprimand them, something they had never encountered before.
"Kid, you've got guts."
Of the two men blocking Li Qin's path, one suddenly spoke up.
The man's tone was gloomy and ruthless.
It's obvious from the first note that they're not to be messed with.
Feeling the flashlight shining into his eyes move away, Li Qin slowly lowered his hand that had been blocking his eyes.
With the help of the flashlight, Li Qin could barely make out the appearance of the two people in front of him.
These are two middle-aged men.
Most importantly, Li Qin noticed that both of them were holding a hunting rifle.
The gun was pointed directly at him.
A strange look flashed across Li Qin's face again.
However, things calmed down in an instant.
Li Qin glanced casually at the group before speaking:
"Why aren't you resting at home at this hour? Why are you here waiting for me? What brings you here?"
Seeing that Li Qin still showed no sign of panic even at this point, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the man who had just spoken.
"Young man, you have quite the nerve."
This time, the man's words carried a greater sincerity.
Li Qin smiled nonchalantly.
You're too kind.
At this moment, another man suddenly spoke up:
"Why are you being so polite with this kid, Brother Hao? Just get to work."
The person referred to as Brother Hao is likely the leader or boss of this group.
Hao Ge first gave Li Qin a deep look, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Young man, you seem to be a smart man. You should know our purpose. We hope you can cooperate with us."
Li Qin nodded, a knowing look on his face:
"I know you want to rob me, and not just the things in my car, but also my bicycle and the money on me."
Hao Ge on the other end didn't deny it; instead, he readily nodded in acknowledgment.
"That's right. Since you understand, young man, I hope you can cooperate. That way, you'll suffer less. I promise you, as long as you cooperate, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Qin suddenly tilted his head.
A strange smile reappeared on his face:
"I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."
Upon hearing this, a strange smile flashed across the faces of those blocking the way, but it vanished in an instant.
Just when these people thought Li Qin would obediently cooperate, Li Qin spoke up again;
"Actually, if you really only want the things in my car, the bicycle, or even the money I'm carrying, I'd consider agreeing."
After all, these things are just external possessions; losing them isn't a big deal.
At this point, Li Qin glanced at the five people surrounding him and sighed.
Then continued:
"But do you really only want money and goods? There must be more!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of these people changed drastically, and their eyes turned cold as they looked at Li Qin.
"What do you mean by that, young man?"
"That's what Hao, the leader, asked expressionlessly."
Li Qin's face, however, wore a sarcastic expression:
"If you really only want to rob money, then when you come out, you should cover your true face with something."
Only in this way can we ensure that we won't be found out and caught afterward.
But you've made no attempt to hide your true colors from the very beginning. I'm not stupid; how could I not know what you're thinking?
