The main reason is that the opponent's physical fitness and strength are very good; he is the strongest she has encountered recently.

After all, the other party was also professionally trained and had spent two years in the special forces.

During their exchange, she could tell that her opponent had a lot of practical experience and was very ruthless in his attacks.

You could say she was really serious tonight.

After simply wiping her body with a damp towel, she changed her clothes and then sat on the bed to look through Huang Bo's notebook.

The notebook contained a variety of notes. Huang Bo didn't have the habit of keeping a diary. The notes were mostly about work and his younger brother.

His younger brother is now an adult, and unlike him, he hasn't gone astray; instead, he's grown into an ordinary person.

Huang Bo's most recent records of his younger brother are from three years ago.

"System, search for information about Huang Pinglang," Yuan Mengge said to the system after glancing at the money on the table.

[Searching for character information - Search complete]

Huang Pinglang, male, 30 years old, currently residing in Sanhe County...

...

After reading the information, she wrote down Huang Pinglang's current address.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, she packed her things and set off on her bicycle.

This time she didn't take a car, but rode her bicycle there by herself.

It's easier and saves time to go by bike.

However, before going to the provincial capital, she went to another place.

That's the home of the drunkard who almost died at Huang Bo's hands last night.

According to Huang Bo's notebook records, the employer was the wife of an alcoholic.

She drove to the drunkard's house, which was in the same alley as last night.

When we arrived at his house, it was still quite early.

But the kitchen chimney was already smoking, which meant someone was up and making breakfast.

After wandering around her house, Yuan Mengge found a dark corner nearby and waited.

Until someone passed by, she stopped the passerby, gave him ten yuan as a delivery fee, and asked him to deliver a note to the woman of the house.

After watching from afar as a passerby handed the note to the woman who came to open the door, Yuan Mengge quietly left the spot.

Then we waited by a bridge not far from here.

A dozen minutes later, the woman came over in a hurry.

After she reached the bridge, she looked around in confusion.

Yuan Mengge then walked over to her and said, "This is a refund for you."

After returning the money in the envelope to her, Yuan Mengge turned and left.

The woman stood there for a moment, watching Yuan Mengge leave before she opened the envelope in her hand and looked at it.

She guessed what it was just by the feel of it, and when she opened it, it was indeed money.

Besides the money, there was also a piece of paper.

She took it out, glanced at it, then tore the paper into pieces and scattered them into the river under the bridge.

He then took the envelope, turned around, and quickly left the bridge.

The piece of paper inside only conveyed one message: [Mission failed. Please find someone else.]

Yuan Mengge then rode her bicycle to the provincial capital, and after arriving there, she found a post office and sent the money.

After finishing all that, she drove to the town where Li Xue'e lived.

She found a repair shop, paid for parking, and then went to the market to buy some vegetables, rice, and flour, which she carried into the mountains.

"Woof~ woof woof woof—" Every time, the black dragon was the first to rush out to greet her.

Since she bribed the big black dog with meat bones on her first two visits, the dog is no longer as fierce.

Heilong noticed the commotion and rushed out to investigate. Upon seeing that it was Yuan Mengge, he quieted down and turned back.

Although she wasn't fierce anymore, she didn't seem particularly welcoming either.

“Black Dragon, why aren’t you happy to see me? I brought you meat, didn’t you enjoy eating it?” Yuan Mengge called out to it.

When Black Dragon heard her call his name, he turned his head to look at her, then coldly turned his head back.

As soon as Li Xue'e heard her voice, she crawled out of the house and ran over happily: "You're here! You seem to be a little early today?"

When Yuan Mengge came last time, she told Li Xue'e that she would be coming today, so Li Xue'e has been looking forward to her for the past two days.

"Are you on holiday? How did your exams go?" Li Xue'e asked with a smile as she helped her carry the things in her hands.

"I finished the exam yesterday. I think it went well. I estimated my score to be over 530," Yuan Mengge replied as she followed her into the room.

Upon hearing this, Li Xue'e said, "Really? Anyway, as long as you can finish the exam smoothly, that's all that matters. I didn't expect that when you said you wanted to go to high school, you actually did."

After putting her things down, Yuan Mengge sat down on the stool.

Looking at Li Xue'e now, after half a year of training, she looks slightly different.

Yuan Mengge: "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'm sure I'll get the part."

"What happened? Was the score not high enough?" Li Xue'e asked, somewhat bewildered.

Yuan Mengge said, "The 'accident' I'm referring to is that the score won't be changed by someone else."

Li Xue'e looked at her in confusion and said, "How could that be?"

Yuan Mengge didn't offer much explanation, only saying, "Anyway, something like this has happened before. I hope I'm not that unlucky."

The two sparred in the afternoon to test Li Xue'e's self-defense skills.

She was quite satisfied with the results.

Li Xue'e really doesn't have much talent in this area, and her progress is very slow.

However, Yuan Mengge already knew about her situation, so she didn't have high expectations for her and didn't have high demands on her.

Fortunately, Li Xue'e has now mastered several self-defense skills to the maximum level. She may not be able to beat men, but she can defend herself.

But if she were to fight an ordinary woman, she wouldn't be so easily hit.

The two practiced all afternoon, while Black Dragon lay bored under the shade of a tree and watched.

"Oh, right, Yuan Dasheng and Huang Jiazhong went in too." After the sparring session ended, she sat down and told her about Yuan Dasheng and Huang Jiazhong.

"Huh? How did you get in?" Li Xue'e was wiping the sweat from her neck when she heard this and looked at her curiously.

“They went to the mountains to burn oil. I had Yao secretly follow them, and when they were halfway through burning the oil, I reported them to the police station,” Yuan Mengge replied calmly.

Li Xue'e looked at her and said, "Finally, you've avenged Yuanyuan! These scumbags should spend the rest of their lives in prison! By the way, how is she now? Is she still at home?"

Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes, I'm here. I went to help them harvest rice a while ago."

As they chatted, they checked the time and started making dinner.

Then we read and rested in the evening, and even discussed watching the sunrise the next morning.

The next morning, the two got up at around 4 a.m., their eyes bulging with dark circles, and went out to climb the mountain with Black Dragon.

It was still dark in the mountains before dawn.

Black Dragon skillfully scouted ahead.
