Lu Yu felt that since he had finally met someone who was relatively normal, he should use him if he could.

Bai Shuang handed each of the two men a small piece of cake again, asking them to help contact the person in charge and discuss the matter calmly.

One of them went in, and not long after, he brought a man in his thirties with him.

He sized up Bai Shuang and the others. "You want to cooperate?"

Lu Yu nodded and got straight to the point, "We want jade. Can you make that possible?"

How many do you want?

Bai Shuang: "It's hard to say exactly how much right now, but it should be quite a lot."

"If a large quantity is needed, we can bring people to mine, but it will come at a huge cost; we must trade with grain."

We don't take on jobs with small quantities required.

Bai Shuang: "What will be the price?"

"Pay 10,000 catties of grain first."

Do you have excavators?

"No."

Thick layers of ice and snow are very difficult to navigate without machinery.

Lu Yu: "In this way, we will mine it ourselves, and you will provide safe accommodations, maintain order, and, if necessary, use your people to help."

Regarding the cost, you name a price. If it's suitable, we'll cooperate; if not, we'll find another group.

The man nodded. "Okay, I'll discuss it with the boss. Please wait a moment."

Half an hour later, a person came out of the house and invited Bai Shuang and the others in.

Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went inside, while Bai Jiu and the other three stayed behind to watch the car.

Before leaving, Bai Shuang quietly told them, "If there is any danger, the four of you should drive away immediately."

Just focus on your own safety; we don't need to worry about ours.

Remember: This is an order; you must do as instructed.

The snow leopard was forcibly left with Bai Jiu and the others. If the two sides were separated, having it would make it easier to find Bai Shuang and the others.

With Bai Shuang having a spatial dimension, the two of them would have a better chance of survival.

Currently, Bai Shuang and the others' belongings are not in the open, so the risk level should not be high.

Bai Shuang and Lu Yu followed the man into the house. A man and a woman were standing next to the room, searching Bai Shuang and Lu Yu's bodies. Anything that could be used as a weapon was not allowed to be brought in.

Bai Shuang helped Lu Yu up and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, reached out and put his gun into her spatial storage.

I followed that person into a room where there were about a dozen young men, all of whom were carrying guns.

In the middle sat a middle-aged man, probably in his forties, sitting in a dark-colored rattan chair, looking down at Bai Shuang and the other person.

"Unexpectedly, there are still such handsome men and beautiful women in the midst of this disaster!"

Cooperation? Hahaha..."

At that moment, four words appeared in Bai Shuang's mind:

"A gang leader."

With a gesture from that person, the person next to him pointed his gun at Bai Shuang and the other person.

Then, the two heard the signal sent by Bai Jiu and the others—someone was stealing the car.

In a moment of desperation, Bai Shuang sprinkled some sleeping potion and simultaneously led Lu Yu into the space.

In this situation, the chances of winning a conflict with them are slim.

Bai Shuang couldn't afford to gamble, nor did she dare to.

As for Bai Jiu and his group, they were all top-notch in both martial arts and marksmanship. If they had followed Bai Shuang's instructions, they could have easily escaped.

Bai Shuang still trusted Bai Jiu and the other man quite a bit. Through their long-term cooperation, they understood that sometimes protecting oneself was equivalent to lightening the burden on the young lady.

As for Xiao Zhao and the other two... no matter what they do, Bai Shuang can't care about them right now.

Suddenly, Lu Yu saw birds singing and flowers blooming, herds of cattle and sheep grazing. Looking around, he saw that the two of them were still by his side, and Lu Yu felt much more at ease.

Meanwhile, Bai Jiu and the other three were also experiencing intense inner struggles.

Not long after Bai Shuang and her companion went inside, a group of people surrounded them with various weapons.

Bai Jiu recalled the young lady's parting words.

"Get in the car, quickly."

Bai Changdi walked into the car and sent out the signal.

Xiao Zhao and Yang hesitated for a moment.

"Are the general and your young lady still inside?"

As a personal guard, everything is for the general's benefit, and sacrificing oneself when necessary... these are ingrained in his very being.

Bai Jiu: "Get in the car first. Miss and the others are capable of protecting themselves."

You must protect yourself first before you can protect them.

Without hesitation, the snow leopard was the first to jump into the car. It was a smart dog; with its owner not around, it needed to protect itself first.

It wasn't that Bai Jiu was afraid of death, but rather that he understood his young mistress better. She said not to worry about it, that she would definitely find a way, and that her decision was the most correct one.

Just as Xiao Zhao and his companions were hesitating, the group of people had already approached. If they didn't get on the car soon, it would be too late.

There are too many of them; if they open fire, they themselves will be in danger.

After weighing the options, Xiao Zhao and his companion decided not to sacrifice themselves in vain and got into the car.

Meanwhile, in space.

"Shuangshuang, are we hallucinating?"

Or have we arrived in the underworld?

Bai Shuang rolled her eyes at him. "Is the underworld really that beautiful?"

"That must be an illusion."

Bai Shuang pinched him.

Ouch, that hurts!

"Is it a hallucination?"

"It doesn't seem so, but..."

Bai Shuang: "This is the space I told you about, my personal space."

"This is your space? It's so nice."

I thought it only had storage functions.

Who else has been in here? Who else knows?

"Besides the three of you and Bai Jiu, the only other person who knows is Uncle Li."

I've only ever brought you in; no one else has.

Lu Yu was happy that he could be Bai Shuang's only one.

"Thank you for your trust, my wife!"

Lu Yu and Bai Shuang had a life-or-death bond that they had shared many times. If even he couldn't be trusted, who else in the world could be trusted?
