Chapter 750 The Heroic Merchant
Four or five dark green military trucks roared like ferocious beasts, speeding toward their destination.
Nearly a thousand fully armed soldiers jumped off the trucks and formed two formations, surrounding the thugs from the Venomous Snake Gang.
"Don't move!"
"Drop your weapons!"
"Hands on your head; crouch on the ground!"
Hundreds of black gun barrels were pointed at their foreheads, terrifying the thugs.
These bullies usually only dared to intimidate ordinary people and would act submissive when faced with the police. But now, when they saw these gun-wielding men, they didn't dare to utter a word. They all dropped their weapons and crouched on the ground with their hands on their heads, scared out of their wits.
Shen Wanqian and his group were also confused, not knowing what was happening.
"Are you the leader of these people? In Xi Ye, your word is law." A colonel with two stars on his shoulders and a stern face walked down, looking down at the bald leader. Hundreds of guns were instantly aimed at his head.
It seemed like the next second, they would shoot him to pieces.
The bald leader had never witnessed such a situation before. His legs immediately went weak, and he wet his pants in fear, emitting a foul smell.
"I, officer, I'm just following orders. This has nothing to do with me. It's all a misunderstanding." The bald leader raised his hands in surrender, on the verge of tears.
The officer kicked him to the ground and struck him with a gun. Blood flowed from his mouth, and several teeth were knocked out, causing him to scream in pain.
"It has nothing to do with you. Robbing and killing in broad daylight, and you say it has nothing to do with you!"
"Take all these people away and inform the local police. Investigate this venomous snake gang thoroughly. They must be eradicated within three days!"
The colonel gave the order decisively, scaring the bald leader and his gang out of their wits.
It was over. They were completely finished. They had encountered a formidable opponent this time.
A group of soldiers quickly apprehended the beaten-up thugs from the Venomous Snake Gang.
The colonel also walked up to Shen Wanqian and saluted respectfully, "You must be Shen Wanqian, Mr. Shen."
Shen Wanqian was pleasantly surprised and quickly shook hands to express his gratitude. "Thank you, sir. You arrived just in time. It's a lifesaving favor."
The middle-aged military officer, with a hint of apology, said, "No, it's our negligence that caused you to be startled. We should be the ones apologizing."
Shen Wanqian was suddenly stunned, and Shen Jing Er was also dumbfounded. What's going on?
It was only then that the colonel said, "Mr. Shen, I am Colonel Lu Xin, the commander of the 368th Regiment of the 2nd Army of the Xi Ye Military Theater. I have been ordered by Dragon Soul, the Supreme Commander of the Xi Ye Military Theater, to protect your safety along the way and assist in the preparations for the charity evening."
"Mr. Shen, please feel free to make any requests in the future. We will do our utmost to help you."
"What, what?!"
Shen Wanqian was extremely excited, and even someone as experienced as him was moved to tears at this moment. "Dragon Soul's order, he knows about me?"
Lu Xin respectfully said, "Yes, Dragon Soul said that Mr. Shen is concerned about national affairs and has been raising military funds for the frontline soldiers. You are a patriotic entrepreneur and a worthy 'Heroic Merchant'. Protecting you is our duty."
"Salute!"
