Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 347 Caught off guard
Everyone present, whether injured or not, was no match for the two guards from the Jiang family.

The owners within these walls, whether good or bad, are probably no match for the two guards, Li and Liu.

Even if all of them were combined, they would have no chance of winning against the two guards of the Jiang family.

The core leader had already planned this matter out clearly long ago.

However, there is only one difference from before, and that is the change in his state of mind.

It was Xiao Lu's actions just now that made him change his mind.

Is it because he saw some new hope? Or is it that, just before speaking, he didn't want to reveal his last trump card?

Regardless of his situation—whether he simply didn't want to reveal his hand or Xiaolu's words caused him to suddenly waver—it no longer matters.

The current outcome is a direct reflection of his inner biases and his true thoughts.

Now, one thing is certain: it is true that his mind has changed.

Right now, apart from their leader, everyone in this group had a look of confusion on their faces.

The expressions on everyone's faces seemed to convey the same question.

How did the steward end up here? How did he find his way here? Or rather, how was he found and captured?
Why this person, who would normally be completely insignificant to them, was here became their biggest concern.

What exactly is the reason behind this? They wanted to find out.

They are like this, and so is their core leader.

Although he knew best how the steward had gotten here and how he had appeared before them, he wouldn't think about these things like others. But now that the steward was standing right in front of him, he probably had some plans in mind.

This is probably a very important reason why he changed his mind.

Although Jiang Xian and his two companions must have made plans in mind before daring to come here, this is, after all, their territory, the place where they have lived for a long time. Therefore, if they want to trip up Jiang Xian and his companions, as long as their plan is well-thought-out and can be successfully implemented, it should not be too difficult for them.

For those familiar with this place, I can't guarantee anything else, but if they just want to use some tricks on a few outsiders, it should be a piece of cake.

If they wanted Jiang Xian and the other two to perish here, it would be no easy task and would be very difficult to accomplish. However, if they only wanted to cause some losses to Jiang Xian and his two guards, it would not seem like an impossible dream.

"what--"

Xiao Lu shouted loudly, and charged at Jiang Xian with his bare hands, seemingly without fear.

For a moment, even the most trusted person closest to the path was at a loss, frozen in place.

When he first heard Xiaolu's voice, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

It wasn't until he saw the scene before him, noticed the movement of Xiao Lu's rapid footsteps as they rubbed against the ground, and witnessed Xiao Lu suddenly attacking Jiang Xian, that he finally reacted.

It turned out that the familiar sound he had just heard was not a hallucination caused by his nervousness, but a real sound coming from the path. Thus, all his plans and schemes had come to naught before they could even be implemented.

He never expected that Xiaolu would step forward at this moment and disrupt everything.

He had expected Xiao Lu to harbor some resentment towards him, but he never imagined that Xiao Lu would disregard his objections and advice, and suddenly rush forward to attack Jiang Xian like a madman.

What benefit would that bring to the path?

Currently, both Guard Li and Guard Liu are closely following Jiang Xian, protecting him firmly. How could they possibly allow Xiao Lu to get close to Jiang Xian?

The core leader didn't believe Xiao Lu hadn't thought of this.

Xiao Lu is a righteous person. Although he is not usually very meticulous, he has never acted so impulsively and disregarded advice as he did today.

In the past, if anything made Xiaolu anxious or impulsive, even if it was a dispute with someone or something that made him lose his mind, as long as the leader stepped in to dissuade him, he would definitely be able to calm Xiaolu down.

Once the leader speaks, he will never go west if the leader tells him to go east. He can always calm down no matter what happens after the leader speaks.

Even with the greatest resentment and anger, his backbone could always calm Xiaolu down. It's just that today, for some reason, Xiaolu acted so impulsively.

The leader knew that although Xiao Lu was difficult to persuade today, and although Xiao Lu had grievances against him, he had still managed to persuade Xiao Lu to calm down.

Although the two of them hadn't spoken up due to the occasion, neither of them felt it was an urgent matter. Therefore, he planned to talk to Xiaolu about it later.

He had thought that the two of them would gradually clear up their misunderstandings in the future, but he never expected that Xiaolu would choose to rush up and attack Jiang Xian at this moment.

Isn't this a dead end?

If it were any other matter, the key figure could still mediate, and there might still be room for maneuver. But now that things have come to this, it's too late to say anything.

Was Xiaolu acting so impulsively because of the leader? Was it because of the person in charge? Or because of the injured pillar, or perhaps the other teammates?

The core members knew perfectly well that they were the ones who had robbed the roadside. Therefore, it was their just deserts that they had been captured and ended up like this. Since they were in this line of work, they should have expected this outcome. So why did they react so strongly?
When captured and beaten to death, he struggled desperately to survive, but to be so enraged as to reach such a point was something his core values ​​couldn't possibly comprehend.

Xiaolu is probably aware of this as well.

Therefore, the reason why Xiao Lu is acting so impulsively is probably because he is still angry and because of his boss.

Was that person's kindness to Xiao Lu really that great? So great that it made Xiao Lu disregard everything? Or even show the slightest regret?
Looking at the scene before him, the leader's mind went blank for a moment, and he was somewhat lost in thought.

He knew very well what would happen next and what fate awaited Xiaolu.

He knew all of this perfectly well.

However, it was too late for regrets and remorse.
