Chapter 374 Lu Yao's Deception
Chapter 374 Lu Yao's Deception
As soon as Lin Dong realized someone was coming from behind, he immediately lay down on the ice and snow.
The machine gun was then turned around.
Lu Yao shouted:
"Sister Mei, lie down, don't come any closer!"
Mei Ping quickly tumbled to the ground.
Machine gun bullets whistled through the air, flying over Mei Ping's head.
Mei Ping had already lay down by this time.
One step later and it would have been smashed to pieces.
The pressure from the machine gun was extremely intense.
Lin Dong unleashed another barrage of fire at Lu Yao, pinning him down so he couldn't lift his head. Lu Yao then took the opportunity to retreat back to the truck.
They were no longer in a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
He opened the driver's cab and pulled out another grenade.
They estimated Lu Yao's location and threw it over directly.
Fortunately, it was dark and visibility was poor, so he threw it a little further away, and Lu Yao got up and ran.
Timing it perfectly, he dove into a snow nest the instant the grenade hit the ground.
"boom"
A deafening roar.
Although Lu Yao was not injured, he was terrified.
"Damn it, there are grenades too!"
Lu Yao got up and fired at the fuel tank on the other side of the car.
I was trying to capture him alive, but I didn't expect Lin Dong to be so stubborn.
If we don't strike hard now, we'll probably die at his hands.
With one shot, Lin Dong understood Lu Yao's intention.
The bullet punctured the fuel tank.
Lin Dong didn't have time to pick up the gun or the grenade, so he took off running in another direction.
"Bang"
Lu Yao fired his second shot, and the car's fuel tank burst into flames with a deafening bang.
A burst of flames shot into the sky.
Even though Lu Yao was dozens of meters away, he could feel the heat wave hitting him.
He charged forward with his gun, and if he saw Lin Dong again, he would surely kill him with a single shot.
The firelight gradually dimmed.
Lin Dong's figure could be seen through the thick smoke.
However, it wasn't him; he grabbed Mei Ping's hair and pressed a dagger against her throat.
It turns out that Lin Dong ran very close to Mei Ping's direction just now.
Seeing that he didn't have a machine gun, Mei Ping grabbed her gun and chased after him.
The heat from the car explosion knocked both of them off their feet.
Lin Dong is a seasoned veteran who has been through many battles.
Although he felt dizzy, he did not lose his ability to fight.
As soon as the dark figure flashed by, he pounced on it.
Both his pistol and Mei Ping's pistol were lost in the fall.
Lin Dong pulled out a dagger from his lower back and stabbed at the target.
With a sliver of clarity, Mei Ping grabbed Lin Dong's wrists with both hands and struggled with him.
Lin Dong knew that time was of the essence.
If we don't win this woman over right away, Lu Yao will be here in no time.
Suddenly, he bent down and bit Mei Ping's wrist.
Mei Ping's hand went limp, and Lin Dong stabbed her above her right chest with his knife.
Lin Dong drew his knife and stabbed again, but Mei Ping couldn't dodge in time.
All they could do was close their eyes and wait to die.
But Lin Dong stopped wielding his knife, reached out and grabbed Mei Ping's hair, lifting her up.
The blade was placed against her throat.
Because he had already heard Lu Yao's footsteps.
After their encounter, he realized that Lu Yao was an unprecedentedly formidable opponent.
At this moment, Lu Yao had a gun, while he only had a dagger; it was too late to find a gun.
They could only take Mei Ping hostage.
He turned and hid behind Mei Ping, the knife pressed against her throat.
He looked at Lu Yao by the firelight:
"Damn it, it really is you! You surnamed Lu, put down your gun, or I'll kill this female bureau chief!"
Mei Ping gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Lu Yao, shoot him! Kill him! My death is nothing to regret. From the day I became a policeman, I never intended to retire alive!"
Lin Dong grinned maliciously: "Fine, you're willing to die, let's see if that brat surnamed Lu is willing to do the same!"
At this moment, Lu Yao absolutely dared not make any rash moves.
Because he knew Lin Dong's methods all too well.
If he had fired rashly, Lin Dong could have killed Mei Ping if he had even a breath left.
Lu Yao quickly raised his hand and threw the Mauser pistol behind him.
Don't wait for him to ask for his own gun.
It was thrown more than ten meters away.
"Damn it, you brat, get the gun back to me, or I'll slit her throat!"
As he spoke, he slashed the dagger across Mei Ping's face.
"Wait, you two idiots!"
Upon hearing the words "Er Mangzi," Lin Dong froze as if he had been struck by an acupuncture point.
This nickname was also his childhood name. Ever since he left his hometown at the age of fifteen, no one had called him "Er Mangzi" anymore.
He looked up at Lu Yao:
"How...how did you know my name was Er Mangzi?"
"Second fool, I am the third child!"
"You're talking nonsense! My third child is twenty-nine years old now, are you kidding me?"
In his previous life, Lu Yao and Lin Dong were friends for a time, but later, due to their differing values and their respective allies, they turned against each other and killed one another.
During that time, the two of them talked about everything.
Lin Dong left his hometown at the age of fifteen to find his abducted younger brother, Sanhai'er. Later, he joined the army and fought in the war. He deserted the army and became an outlaw. He fled abroad and became an assassin. He returned to China and was captured.
It was the Shi family who saved him.
Seventy-six years later, he fled abroad again and met Lu Yao.
Lu Yao told him about killing Liu Dugong and escaping abroad, and he also told Lu Yao about his childhood.
Therefore, Lu Yao knew that his third child was his weakness, and he never found him until later.
The purpose of saying this now is to disrupt his emotions and prevent him from killing immediately.
Lu Yao said as he walked forward:
"Second Brother, Er Mangzi, do you still remember when we were little, you dragged me to slide on the ice? Do you remember sharing a candied hawthorn, one for you and one for me?"
Lu Yao was surrounded by firelight, making it impossible to see his face, but he had his arms outstretched without any weapons, and seemed to have no hostile intentions.
Lin Dong wasn't stupid; he wouldn't easily trust someone who had just been fighting him.
These few words were just said too suddenly.
He values family ties extremely, and his obsession is finding his younger brother.
But I've kept this matter hidden in my heart for many years, and I've rarely mentioned it to anyone in the last decade.
No one in Jiangzhou knew about this.
Lu Yao couldn't possibly know such details.
I never dreamed that I would say these words to Lu Yao five years later when we were in the same trench overseas.
"Tell me the truth, don't come any closer, stay where you are."
Lu Yao stopped, only five meters away from Lin Dong.
"Er Mangzi, look me in the eyes. I may look different, but I really am San Hai'er. My eldest brother was called Lao Han, and he died of smallpox when we were kids!"
Lin Dong still didn't believe it.
He had secretly observed Lu Yao's appearance many times.
He didn't have any of the characteristics of his younger brother; he wasn't his brother at all.
At this moment, he was very curious about how Lu Yao knew about his childhood.
Even if he wasn't the third child, he must have known where his younger brother was.
"Who exactly told you all this?"
Lin Dong was so excited that his hand holding Mei Ping's was trembling slightly.
Lu Yao suddenly called out, "It's Uncle Liu, our neighbor. When you left your hometown, Uncle Liu gave you half a big pancake..."
Lin Dong was even more puzzled:
"You're spouting complete nonsense! Who told you that?"
Lu Yao pointed at Mei Ping: "If you hurt her, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, because she's Uncle Liu's daughter!"
"What?"
Lin Dong was a man who remembered kindness most.
Otherwise, why would they be so devoted to historians?
He later told Lu Yao more than once that Uncle Liu's half-pancake had saved his life, and that if he ever met Uncle Liu again in his lifetime, he would definitely take care of him in his old age.
Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Lin Dong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked down at Mei Ping, and his hand involuntarily loosened its grip.
Mei Ping didn't know who Uncle Liu was, but she knew that Lu Yao was definitely trying to mislead the murderer.
At this moment, before he could kill, quickly grab the hand holding the knife with both hands.
I pushed it outwards and took a few centimeters.
Lu Yao seized this fleeting opportunity and pounced forward:
"Second brother, I'm the third child!"
If anyone were to pounce on Lin Dong at this moment, Lin Dong would stab them without hesitation.
He hesitated when Lu Yao claimed to be the third child, Lin Dong's younger brother.
Knowing that I couldn't act on emotion at this moment, I still couldn't bring myself to kill him.
Instead of making a move, he loosened Mei Ping's hair and took a step back to dodge.
Lu Yao grabbed Mei Ping, pulled her aside, and kicked her at the same time.
Lin Dong was kicked so hard he tumbled over.
Lu Yao stood up again, shielding Mei Ping behind him, and couldn't help but smile:
"Brother Dong, I'm sorry for trying to fool you with your past, but I had no choice. Surrender! You're injured in the leg; you can't beat me!"
