Chapter 376 What are the people who arrested us thinking about?

“Woo woo woo!”

"Do you know where I, your grandpa, came from? You bastards... Ouch!"

Shuanzi kicked the bearded man on the shoulder, making him stagger. He bared his teeth and sneered at his angry gaze: "You bastard, you've already reached your ancestors' territory. Learn to shut up and stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"you……"

"The master has the final say here."

Shuanzi rubbed his wrist expressionlessly and mocked, "If you are a dragon, coil up nicely. If you are a bear, shut up and lie down."

"If you make any more shrill noises, I'll pull out your troublesome tongue!"

The bearded man still looked unconvinced.

But Shuanzi no longer had the warm attitude of calling the bearded big brother, and now his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The bearded man curled himself up into a ball in frustration, enduring the excruciating pain from the constant pulling on his shoulder. He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "No, even if your master is a very important person, he still has to follow his own rules, right?"

"You brought us here for no reason, you..."

"Master, there is no such thing as doing something without a reason."

Shuanzi was too lazy to talk to him. He snorted and stood up straight, saying, "Since you are in the hands of the master, just stay here honestly."

Shuanzi said that and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the bearded man became anxious and said, "Don't go!"

"Don't worry about why you arrested them. We're all here. What exactly is your master planning? She..."

"You shouldn't ask too many questions!"

Shuanzi glared at the thick-skinned bearded man with an unpleasant look and warned him, "Behave yourself."

"If the master says he wants to kill you, someone will naturally come with a knife, and it will be your turn to die."

Shuanzi uttered some harsh words and left. The small wooden door opened and closed, and the room became quiet again.

The bearded man tried to stand up anxiously, but the moment he moved his feet went weak and he fell back down with a thud like soft noodles, his mouth filled with dust.

In the corner, Meng Pei, who had been keeping his eyes closed, endured the discomfort and said, "Stop struggling. It's useless."

"oops……"

The bearded man, feeling limp all over, slammed his face against the ground in despair, his voice muffled: "Brother Meng, what should we do now?"

"we……"

"We were tricked from the beginning. I deserve what I'm facing now."

Meng Pei suppressed his anger and said, "I thought we were forced into Xiwei Village because they had no choice, but I didn't expect they had already spread a huge net, just waiting for us to jump in."

Two days ago, Meng Pei took the opportunity to move to the back of the hut, hoping to take advantage of the noise caused by the fire in the hut to quietly knock Sang Zhixia unconscious and take her away.

Who knew that Sang Zhixia had already made preparations.

The smoke that Meng Pei sprinkled into the house had no effect at all. When he climbed through the window, he found a flying knife on his shoulder.

Before losing consciousness, Meng Pei only had time to see Sang Zhixia's smiling eyes.

When he regained consciousness, he had been brought from Xiwei Village to this dark room.

The five people in the group were all here, all of them were injured and looked like weaklings. Their mouths could still speak, and the only parts of their bodies that were still working were their eyeballs. They couldn't even lift their arms!

The bearded man was extremely disconsolate. He lay on the ground and sighed: "I was careless. I was really careless."

I originally thought that Sang Zhixia could be controlled with just two fingers.

Who could have thought that the flying knife that flew out from his hand was poisonous!

Now they are helpless. If someone were to chop them to pieces one by one with a knife in this dark room, they would become ghosts and would not be able to find a place to turn to.

Meng Pei's heart was bursting with anger. He opened his mouth repeatedly but couldn't say much.

After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to utter: "I'm sorry for you this time. I've caused you trouble..."

"Brother Meng, you are being distant with your brothers by saying this."

The other man, lying flat on the ground like a monkey with a shrewd face, had a blank look in his eyes, but he didn't stutter at all when he spoke.

"You saved my brothers' lives in Huwei Mountain a few years ago. Even if we die following you, we will have gained several years of stable life. There is no loss."

"only……"

The speaker hesitated and said suspiciously, "Since they knew we had bad intentions and wiped us out with such force, they shouldn't just leave us here to dry, right?"

"What are our captors thinking about?"

According to common sense, if someone with evil intentions is caught, and there is no previous grudge, he should be interrogated immediately to find out the person behind the scenes.

But they have been locked up here for two days, and their three meals a day have been delivered on time. Even after eating, they didn't die from the poison on the spot.

Apart from Shuanzi who brought the meals, no one else was seen.

No questioning, no trial, no torture, and still providing three meals a day. What is the plan?

You can't just go to great lengths to invite them to eat and fatten them up, right?

Perhaps the coolness of lying on the ground was really stimulating, and the bearded man's mind was working very fast at this time.

The bearded man asked tentatively, "Could it be that he knows our identities and wants to threaten Miss Shen with Brother Meng's life?"

"Sweet dreams!"

Meng Pei gritted his teeth and spoke word for word: "Even if I cut my neck with a knife, there's no way she can succeed!"

There is absolutely no way he will become a burden to Shen Anzhu!

The bearded man's eyes were filled with unspeakable sighs, and his tone was complicated: "Brother Meng, you treat Miss Shen as your precious eyeball, so naturally you want to splatter blood on the spot so that she will have no worries."

"But have you ever thought that you don't have a knife now?"

When they were unconscious and unaware of anything, their bodies had already been searched like a wash.

Not to mention the suicide knife, the five of them searched all over their bodies and couldn't pull out even a piece of wire.

The cruel look on Meng Pei's face froze silently.

The bearded man sighed worriedly, "Not only is there no knife to cut your neck, you can't even move your butt."

The food delivered was not poisonous enough to kill people, but it contained a considerable amount of muscle softening powder.

Their meaning is obvious: either you eat it, and then lie there like mud in this dark room without sunlight; or you just stubbornly refuse to touch it, and then every day Shuanzi comes at mealtime to force the medicine into your mouth.

In short, whether they are forced or willing, staying here is their only way to survive.

There is no choice at all.

It's hard to even think about dying.

Meng Pei closed his eyes in frustration and didn't want to say a word.

The bearded man felt that his fate was miserable. He groaned mournfully and wanted to say something else, but someone turned his head and hit him, making him grit his teeth.

"If you're bored, just curl up and hit me..."

"I'm already exhausted, could you please save some energy with your words?"

The man who fell on the bearded man stared at the corner of the wall with spider webs above his head with despair, and said with great melancholy: "It's useless to say anything, just keep your eyes open and wait."

"Whether they want to kill us or cut us up, they have a plan to send us off. There's no point getting angry."

A few helpless sighs were heard one after another, and the brief noise returned to calm.

Lingchu, who had been standing outside the door for who knows how long, made a gesture. Shuanzi understood and stepped forward to watch silently. Lingchu quickly went upstairs.

There was a gentle knock on the door, followed by Ling Chu's voice: "Boss, I have something important to report."
