Wilderness Redemption Tour

Pulling out their revolvers, Lin Yan and Sadie surrounded the bonfire and the shadowy figures beside it from two directions respectively.

The first person to discover the two strangers was a lady in a plain long dress, who was sitting in the direction where Lin Yan came from. Noticing the strangers coming, she instinctively stepped forward to protect the boy who was still eating, and at the same time looked at the man sitting on the other side: "Mark, they found us."

Mark Johnson, who was wearing an old gray shirt, seemed to have expected this day to come. He calmly put down the food in his hand, put his hands on his head, stood up and looked at the two bounty hunters, a man and a woman, who were pointing guns at him.

"I had expected this day to come." He said calmly, "I have reformed myself now. Why won't you let me go and give me another chance to start over?"

The boy, who was almost as tall as his mother, poked his head out from behind her and timidly looked at the two "bad guys" who came to capture his father.

"I'm sorry, sir. You should tell the sheriff about this." Lin Yan replied with a straight face, "We are only responsible for finding you and taking you back. As for whether you are guilty or can be forgiven, this is not something we can decide."

Mark Johnson did not show any frustration because of Lin Yan's rejection. He still looked at Lin Yan calmly, "Before you take me away, can you let me say goodbye to my family?"

"Okay." Lin Yan agreed to his request without even thinking about it. He was younger than the boy when he lost his parents, so he knew the importance of a father in a child's growth. It was natural for him to let him say goodbye to his wife and children. It was true that he was a criminal, but criminals were also human beings, and he could not deprive him of his family affection.

"Thank you, you are a kind person." Mark Johnson looked at Lin Yan gratefully, then turned around, put down his arms, and walked to his wife and son.

He put his hands on his son's shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "Son, listen..." As he spoke, he lowered his head, put his mouth close to the boy's ear, and whispered a few words.

After saying that, Mark Johnson stood up and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Do exactly as I say, do you understand?"

The boy secretly glanced at the bounty hunter who was still pointing the gun at his father, and nodded seriously at his father's earnest gaze.

Where Lin Yan couldn't see, Mark Johnson showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. The smile was fleeting, and when he turned around again, he returned to his calm and composed look.

He clenched his fists together, raised his forearms and took two steps forward, saying, "Okay, go ahead."

Lin Yan had never seen such a cooperative criminal. It could be said that this person was much more cooperative than the people he had been collecting debts from before. He attributed everything to his good luck, so he didn't think there was any fraud.

Since the other party was so cooperative, Lin Yan did not make things too difficult for him. He just took out a piece of rope and tied his wrists.

"Don't look away, son. Remember this moment. From now on, you are the man of the family. When I'm not around, you have to take responsibility and take care of yourself and your mother."

"I love you, Dad." The boy cried a little.

Compared to her son and father, Mark Johnson's wife had almost no reaction other than a sad look on her face. Apart from saying something when she saw Lin Yan appear, she didn't say another word from beginning to end.

"Remember what I just said, kid." Mark Johnson said this and walked out before Lin Yan: "Let's go, sir."

Lin Yan whistled and followed slowly.

In view of Mark Johnson's performance, Lin Yan did not let him lie on the horse's back like the people he had carried before, but allowed him to sit on it like himself, but with their backs facing each other. In this way, even if he had bad intentions on the road, Sadie, who was following behind, would be able to react.

"If all the prisoners cooperated like you, our job would be much easier."

Mark Johnson smiled and said, "If everyone was like me, there would be no criminals in our country."

After saying that, before they set off, he asked again, "Sir, can we go slower on the road? I'm afraid I'll fall again if I go too fast."

This request sounded reasonable at first glance, and Lin Yan agreed after thinking about it.

He rode his horse back slowly. When he reached Haven Mountain Ranch, two passers-by on horseback approached Sadie from behind. When she realized something was wrong and turned around to check, three robbers with rifles suddenly jumped out from the hillside on the west side of the road. The leader pointed a rifle at Lin Yan and threatened, "Let Mark go back, or we'll teach you a lesson."

Before Lin Yan could answer, Mark Johnson, who was sitting back to back with him, easily broke free from the rope on his wrist, jumped off the horse and said, "Sorry, sir. Although I really want to go with you, it seems that my brothers don't seem to be willing."

Even when someone pointed a gun at him, Lin Yan was not afraid at all. He was able to escape unscathed when facing Cornwall's well-trained bodyguards, let alone this mob.

Recalling the scene of catching Mark Johnson just now, Lin Yan looked at him and asked, "What you just whispered to your son was to ask him to get help after you left?"

"That's right, otherwise why do you think I would surrender so obediently?" Mark John's face was full of smugness at this time.

Lin Yan sighed and said, "I thought you really wanted to be a good father in front of your son and set a good example."

"Come on, their lives are not as important as mine. If you lose your wife, you can find another one. If you lose your son, you can have another one. But if you lose your life, it's really gone. What else do I want..."

Before Mark Johnson finished speaking, he felt his eyes blurred and heard a strange gunshot. The young bounty hunter on horseback shook his head and said, "It seems that this is not the first time you have done this. It's a pity that you met me this time."

"What's wrong with meeting you? Can you take me away under the noses of five people?" Mark Johnson didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all. He thought that the gunshot just now was caused by his people. After all, the young man in front of him didn't draw his gun, and his companions didn't make any noise.

Lin Yan chuckled and pointed behind him. "You really shouldn't have done this. They could have been alive and well. Thanks to you, they are all dead now."
