Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 304 Gang Rules
Arthur and Hosea were trying to persuade her, while Molly continued to yell at Dutch: "Oh, I thought you were so great? Look at you. You can't even do anything to a drunk woman. Is this still you, Dutch?"
Arthur and Hosea were about to appease Dutch, but when they heard that Molly was still trying to provoke him, Lin Yan quickly pushed Sadie beside him and signaled her with his eyes to stop Molly from talking nonsense. Sadie understood and slapped Molly in the face. "Shut up! Be quiet!"
Sadie's sudden action stunned everyone present. How dare you hit the boss's woman?
"How dare you hit me?" Molly covered her face in disbelief and continued to yell at Sadie.
"I'm saving you! Wake up!" Sadie said, raising her hand and hitting the other half of Molly's face again.
Molly, a spoiled noble lady, had never been beaten like this before, not at home, and not after she followed Dutch. Even when they had a quarrel recently, Dutch only followed the fine tradition of using words instead of fists, and as for the gun he pointed at her just now, it was just because he was angry for a moment.
Molly lost her previous arrogance after being slapped twice in a row. She touched her slapped cheek with her hand and stared at Sadie blankly. Although this did not sober her up completely, it made her realize how stupid she had just done.
"Dutch, I..." Molly looked at Dutch, trying to justify what she had just said.
Molly was awakened by two slaps from Sadie, but Lin Yan found that the red light on her body had not subsided. Dutch had obviously been persuaded by Arthur and Hosea, so the person who brought Molly's death must be someone else. When everyone focused their attention on the three men and two women in the field, Lin Yan quietly retreated to the back of the crowd and observed the movements of all gang members from all directions.
As soon as he retreated to the periphery, Lin Yan heard a crisp "click" sound coming from not far behind him. He immediately realized that it was the sound of a pump-action shotgun being loaded, and the person who made this sound was undoubtedly the one who brought Molly's death.
Lin Yan turned around and saw Aunt Susan, who was also wearing a red shirt, walking towards the crowd with a serious expression and holding her pump-action shotgun. Seeing this scene, Lin Yan made full use of his high agility and rushed to Aunt Susan and asked, "Ms. Grimshaw, what are you doing?"
Aunt Susan said without any emotion: "Get out of my way! She violated the gang rules. As the gang's law enforcer, I have the right to kill her!"
Lin Yan stood in front of Aunt Susan with a firm attitude, and said in a steady tone, "But we don't know whether this is true or not. How can we believe the words of a drunk and desperate woman? You are also a woman. Haven't you ever lied deliberately to irritate the person you love?"
It was not until he said the second half of the sentence that Lin Yan realized that it was inappropriate to say this in this situation, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and look directly into Aunt Susan's angry eyes.
On the other side, Molly, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, put away the arrogance she had just shown when she confronted Dutch. She lowered her head, shrank her neck, and rubbed her right foot back and forth on the ground restlessly, like a little girl who had done something wrong.
When Dutch saw Molly like this, his anger subsided a lot. Just as he was about to take Molly back to the tent, let her have a good sleep, and ask her if what she said just now was true when she woke up, Ms. Grimshaw's angry and threatening voice behind the crowd attracted his attention.
"Jamie, your sweet talk won't save anyone. Get out of my way right now, or I'll assume you're her accomplice and won't be polite to you."
The "farce" in the field has not yet ended, but there is another disturbance outside the field. The onlookers almost seamlessly turned their attention to the place where the conflict occurred.
Lenny and Javier, who were nearby, understood what was going on from the beginning, so when they saw the looks from others, they took the initiative to move aside.
"Ms. Grimshaw, what's going on over there?" Dutch asked sharply while standing in the middle of the field.
Lin Yan then turned sideways so that Aunt Susan could face Dutch directly.
Even when facing Dutch, Aunt Susan did not give in. "She crossed the line, Dutch. You know, rules are rules, and I have the right to deal with her now."
"This..." Aunt Susan's words made Dutch hesitate. It was he who made the rule, and he was the one who gave Aunt Susan the identity of law enforcer. So even if Molly was talking drunk and telling lies, as long as she admitted what she had done, Aunt Susan had the right to decide her life or death, and even Dutch himself had no right to stop her.
At the critical moment, Arthur still had to look to the side. He casually took two steps to the side, stood in front of Molly, and then defended her: "Ms. Grimshaw, let's not talk about whether Molly would really do this. You have been staying in the camp all the time. Think carefully, when you were planning the bank robbery, did Molly leave the camp?"
Aunt Susan looked at Arthur with disappointment. "You don't have to defend him. She knows the rules, Arthur. But you, what the hell is wrong with you? You're leaving right now and you don't care about the gang rules?"
With just one sentence, Arthur was defeated. There was nothing he could do. Every family has its own rules, and every gang has its own rules. For gang members like them, the rules are everything. He didn't blame Ms. Grimshaw for being cold-blooded. If no one was there to uphold the gang rules, this gang would not last long.
Arthur, who was speechless, looked at Hosea with a pleading look. If anyone were to ask who among all the people present was most likely to save Molly's life in this situation, it would be Hosea.
"Alas!" Hosea sighed softly, took off his hat and walked to Aunt Susan.
"Are you going to stop me too, Hosea?"
Hosea shook his head. "No, I have no intention of stopping you. You can kill Miss O'Shea, but can you wait until she tells the truth? This concerns Miss O'Shea's reputation. There is a world of difference between a traitor and an innocent person."
Aunt Susan snorted coldly. "I'm going to die anyway, so what difference does it make?"
"There is a difference, depending on how you think." Hosea explained, "If Molly really betrayed the gang, then she deserved to die, or even deserved to die; but if she didn't betray the gang, then she deserved to pay the corresponding price for what she said. But in the latter case, the significance of you and Dutch is worth talking about. You are a staunch enforcer of the gang rules, and nothing can shake your heart, and Dutch is willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of upholding the gang rules. Your behavior deserves respect from everyone."
