The fingers closed, making a grabbing gesture.
Then curled the fingers again, making an OK sign.
Even though Little Evil didn't fully understand the gesture, he guessed that the person was offering help.
Before Little Evil could make a decision, the person spread out all five fingers again, curling them one at a time.
That was—a countdown.
Could it be an officer arranged by Roy Lee?
"Alright!" Little Evil immediately spoke to the thug, "How about this, I put down my gun as a gesture of good faith, you release Dr. Hu, and I'll let you go..."
He intentionally conversed with the thug to distract him, providing a chance for the person under the tree.
"Alright... put down your gun!"
Upon hearing that he was willing to put down the gun, the thug secretly rejoiced.
He immediately decided that as soon as Little Evil put down the gun, he would shoot him dead and then escape.
