I was a little confused by Lao Pi's operation, but Huang Jie said the man was professional, so I didn't say anything.

Lao Pi deliberately drove slowly past some villagers carrying big and small bags, and rolled down the car window, asking everyone he saw, "Need a ride... Where are you going..."

"Xi Guan Village?"

"Sorry, handsome, not on the way."

...

"Is Shuangta Village in Shuangta Town on the way?"

"Okay, I'm going that way. Thirty for a person, ten for luggage."

...

Lao Pi drove from the west side of the market to the east, shouting as he went. Before long, the car was full of people, and the roof was full of luggage.

By the time Fatty and I realized what was happening, it was too late.

Fatty's quick temper flared up at once. He pointed at Lao Pi's nose and started cursing, "Damn it, you old bastard, you're making money off both ends? Are you that hard up? You're so greedy for this little bit of cash?"

Lao Pi was very slippery, with no other expression on his face. He smiled obsequiously at Fatty and said, "Boss, it's just a small business. We're just covering for each other. Don't worry, I'll definitely get you where you need to go."

The passengers who got in later were disgusted by Fatty's fierce and rude behavior. Lao Pi, on the other hand, had a good temper and patiently dealt with Fatty politely, earning him favor with passersby. The contrast was obvious.

At this time, an old woman in her fifties grabbed Fatty's arm and advised, "Young man, be careful what you say when you're out and about. It's not easy for people to support their families..."

After that, the old woman kept nagging Fatty to be a good person. Other passengers who didn't know the actual situation also chimed in, agreeing with the old woman.

I noticed that Fatty was sweating profusely. His veins were popping out, and he looked like he was about to explode at any moment. Jennifer, sitting in the back row, was also a little unable to bear it, seeing her lover being lectured by an old woman, and wanted to retort.

I quickly held them down, signaling them to keep a low profile and not lose their temper.

Inadvertently, I noticed a faint, almost imperceptible smile on Lao Pi's face.

...

An hour passed, and the passengers in the car got off one after another. The last one to get off was the old woman who had been nagging Fatty. Even when she got off the bus, she was still rambling on and on. I watched Fatty's face turn from red to green. He almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in all the way.

After all the passengers had gotten off, Lao Pi started driving again, with a smug look on his face, as if he felt that we couldn't do anything to him.

I comforted Fatty, who was about to explode, and the others, who were also indignant, and said in a low voice, "I'll take care of this."

"Pull over, I need to take a leak."

I said to Lao Pi gently, with a calm expression on my face.

"Boss, why didn't you go when the passengers got off just now? Isn't this delaying the trip?"

Lao Pi said sarcastically.

"Sorry, the urge came on suddenly. Please pull over."

My tone was still calm, and I didn't seem to be angry.

Fatty was a little annoyed. He muttered in a voice that only I could hear, "Damn it, if it were any other time, I'd have beaten you up."

Lao Pi stopped the car near a cornfield and said to me, "Boss, hurry up and take care of business. We have to get to the hotel before dark."

I took my small bag with me and whispered to Fatty, "As soon as I get out of the car, pull out his car key."

Fatty nodded slightly at me.

After I got out of the car, I looked around. The dirt road was deserted, and it was unlikely that anyone would pass by at this time.

I nodded at Fatty, and Fatty immediately understood.

Taking advantage of Lao Pi lighting a cigarette, Fatty pulled out Lao Pi's car key with lightning speed, and the car stalled instantly.

I immediately opened Lao Pi's car door and dragged Lao Pi, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, out of the car.

Not only was Lao Pi caught off guard, but Zoe, Jennifer, and Dodge were also shocked by the scene.

"Aiyo, aiyo, boss, what's going on? Aiyo, aiyo, don't be like this."

Lao Pi weighed less than a hundred pounds and was carried by me into the cornfield like a chick.

Fatty followed closely behind, thinking I was going to beat Lao Pi up, but I didn't mean to.

Zoe, Jennifer, and Dodge didn't know what was going on. Afraid of further trouble, they followed me and Fatty into the cornfield together.

I carried Lao Pi about ten meters into the cornfield. The tall corn stalks and ears completely surrounded us.

After confirming again that there were no passers-by nearby, I threw Lao Pi on the ground and stepped on his back with one foot.

Then, I took out a gun from my small bag and pointed it at the back of Lao Pi's head.

At first, Lao Pi didn't realize that it was a gun pointed at the back of his head, and he still planned to bargain, "Boss, friend, don't be angry, we can talk about it."

I didn't answer him, but instead pulled the slide of the gun, chambering a round. During this time, I also deliberately showed him the barrel of the gun.

When Lao Pi saw the gun in my hand, he panicked immediately.
