With no other option, Ye Lin's gaze fell upon Lin Feng, a man she had always loathed to her very core. Lin Feng's strength was at least on par with hers. If they joined forces, they'd have a decent chance of taking on these four men. If they struck quickly, these four thugs would have no chance to resist!

Seeing the pleading look in Ye Lin's eyes, Lin Feng likely guessed her intentions and gave a small nod.

"Well now, little missy, still got some fire in you, huh?"

Seeing Ye Lin turn her head away, an overwhelming desire to conquer her surged within the man in the black leather jacket. He strode up to Ye Lin, intending to hook her chin with his finger.

"You're courting death!"

Ye Lin had initially planned to discuss tactics with Lin Feng. But seeing the man in the leather jacket reach for her, her fiery temper flared. She couldn't hold back and lashed out with a swift kick straight to his groin!

"OUCH!"

The man in the leather jacket, struck in the groin, leaped into the air, clutching his vital parts. Judging by his agonized expression, Ye Lin's heavy kick had likely crushed his jewels.

At the same moment, Lin Feng, momentarily stunned that Ye Lin had attacked without consulting him, reacted instantly. He sent the burly, stubbled man flying with a kick, then dashed towards the skinny man and Fatty!

"Shit! Open fire! Quick, open fire!"

Ye Lin and Lin Feng struck in an instant. Fatty and the skinny man reacted, ready to fire, but hesitated when they saw the burly man and the leather-jacketed man blocking their line of sight. In that moment of hesitation, a figure darted in from the side, right in front of them!

BANG!

In the chaos, the panicked skinny man fired a shot, aiming straight for Ye Lin!

The instant the gunshot rang out, there was a sharp CRACK, and Lin Feng felled the skinny man with a single punch!

THUD! THUD!

With two swift punches, Lin Feng knocked Fatty and the skinny man to the ground, leaving them unable to rise.

He turned to Ye Lin and saw she was looking at him with gratitude.

The man in the leather jacket near Ye Lin lay on the ground, shot in the shoulder.

Just moments before, in that critical instant, if Lin Feng hadn't lunged, the skinny man's bullet would have hit Ye Lin!

The two quickly mopped up, giving the four men no chance to retaliate. They each delivered a couple more kicks, rendering their opponents completely helpless before finally stopping.

"Boss, Ma'am... spare us, please!" Fatty pleaded.

Hearing "Ma'am," Ye Lin frowned and kicked Fatty again. Baffled by the kick, Fatty yelped in pain.

"Relax, we won't kill you," Lin Feng said. "Monks don't take life."

Fatty pouted, unsure what to say. Traveling with a great beauty, and in matching outfits, yet he claims to be a monk? Who'd believe that!

Lin Feng took the package, opened it, and pulled out a silk banner. He chuckled, "Heh, I didn't expect us to complete our mission so quickly."

He looked at Ye Lin, who also showed a relieved expression.

"Considering you just saved my life, we're even for what happened before," Ye Lin said coolly.

"What happened before? What are you referring to? Oh, okay," Lin Feng feigned ignorance.

"Just you watch yourself from now on." Seeing Lin Feng's act, Ye Lin's briefly relaxed brow furrowed again. Why can't this guy ever be serious?

The two quickly transferred the food from the package into their respective backpacks. Lin Feng packed the banner away as well.

"What should we do with them?" Ye Lin asked, looking at the four men on the ground.

Fatty's and the skinny man's rifles had been kicked away by Lin Feng. The pistols belonging to the man in the leather jacket and the burly, stubbled man had been confiscated, one by each of them.

"We haven't gotten far," Lin Feng analyzed. "If we bring these four along, crossing these mountains and ridges, our speed will likely be more than halved. Jeopardizing the team's honor for these four isn't worth it."

"So, we just let them go?" Ye Lin asked.

"Please, you two, spare us! Spare our lives! You've already beaten us this badly. Please be merciful and let us go..." The man in the leather jacket, overhearing them, immediately started begging, wiping away tears and clutching his wound.

"Impossible!" Lin Feng flatly refused. "Even though these four are pretty much crippled, they're still criminals. Judging by their guns and gear, they've likely committed plenty of heinous acts."

"We'll tie them up," Lin Feng said. "Then, when we regroup tomorrow, we'll notify the base to send people to hand them over to the police."

Coincidentally, the skinny man had produced two long hemp ropes earlier. Tying the four men to a tree was an easy task.

"I'll risk everything to fight you!"

Hearing this, the burly, stubbled man, who was sprawled nearby, decided to burn his bridges and fight Lin Feng to the death. After all, if the police caught them, they'd likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

"You can barely stand, and you want to fight? Fight with what!"

The burly, stubbled man had just struggled to his feet when Lin Feng kicked him down again.

In their earlier haste, both he and Ye Lin had used their Inner Strength with every kick. These men were already in poor physical condition; how could they withstand the devastating impact of Lin Feng's and Ye Lin's potent Inner Strength?

Without giving them a chance to argue, Lin Feng had the four men tied up within minutes.

"Hey, Boss! You've tied us up and are just leaving us here? We'll die..." Fatty pleaded.

Hearing this, Lin Feng tossed Fatty a bottle of mineral water. "You won't starve before tomorrow morning. If you get thirsty, this one bottle should be enough if you ration it. As for how you share it and make it last, figure it out yourselves."

"What if wolves or tigers show up tonight?" the skinny man asked in terror.

"Heh heh, then I can only congratulate you on hitting the jackpot," Lin Feng chuckled. His smile, however, sent a chill down the spines of the four men.

"Oh?"

As they were about to leave, Lin Feng suddenly noticed the four men's backpacks on the ground. The one belonging to the man in the leather jacket was particularly stuffed and bulging, looking like it held something substantial.

"What are you doing?" Ye Lin asked, seeing Lin Feng gather the four backpacks into a pile.

"Looking for spoils of war, of course," Lin Feng chuckled, then began rummaging through the bags with a practiced, almost predatory, skill.

Ye Lin rolled her eyes, bored. But when Lin Feng opened a couple of the smaller bags, her curiosity was piqued. "What's in them?" she asked.

Lin Feng turned, placed a small picture book and two discs in Ye Lin's hands, and grinned. "One pornographic picture book and two adult films. I'm a fair guy—these three trophies are yours."

Ye Lin was holding the three items. After Lin Feng explained what they were, she glanced down and saw the cover of the picture book indeed featured a fully naked woman. Her face instantly turned crimson, and she flung the items away as if they were electrified.

"Pervert!"

Glaring at the heartily laughing Lin Feng, Ye Lin cursed, her face still beet red.
