"I ran three times, but failed to complete the task you assigned me. I am truly ashamed!"
Minister Zhao saluted Mr. Dai.
Although he spoke words of shame, his face showed a hint of smugness.
This time, they were facing more than twenty vicious antique dealers.
This achievement is already a great accomplishment!
Grandpa Dai also praised him generously, saying, "Not at all."
Minister Zhao's ability to catch the ringleader is already a great achievement.
Not to mention that they almost wiped out all of them.
"By the way, where's Xiaoxi?"
Guan Yuxi responded with a nod and nodded to Grandpa Dai.
Grandpa Dai cautioned her, "There are three who slipped through the net."
There might be backup, so be careful!
Minister Zhao scratched his head.
He chuckled and said, "The old man doesn't know yet, does he?"
"We were able to capture the leader thanks to Xiaoxi..."
It was clear that he was about to spread his deeds everywhere.
Guan Yuxi quickly said, "I didn't do anything, it was Brother Lie who was so eager to save me."
He was the one who caught that person too.
Minister Zhao: "......"
Isn't this blatantly undermining him?
That works too.
This kind of merit is indeed of little use to a girl!
We chatted for a few minutes.
Minister Zhao rose to take his leave.
Guan Yuxi suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Zhao, be careful when you go down the mountain."
There are still a few young men in the village who weren't selected, but they're also working hard down the mountain.
They'll definitely set a trap.
It would be bad if we accidentally hurt our own people.
Who knows, we might even catch those three who slipped through the net!
Minister Zhao never expected such a good thing to happen.
He excitedly led the team down the mountain himself.
Grandpa Dai looked at Guan Yuxi and said, "In the next few days, those people might be targeting you."
Why don't you and Xiaolie move up the mountain to live?
Guan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him.
"Isn't your plan a bit too shrewd?"
Now that we're moving her up the mountain, are we planning to move her to Kyoto in a few days?
Besides, even if those people suspect her, it's only temporary.
But if you get too close to the archaeological team...
After they leave, I'll be in real trouble!
Grandpa Dai chuckled to himself.
"You silly girl, I'm only doing this for your own good, aren't I?"
Guan Yuxi chuckled, "Then I'm really sorry."
I don't need to... Run!
Behind Grandpa Dai.
An old man wearing a straw hat caught her attention.
The man looked like a genuine old farmer.
Don't even mention Lengjiagou, there's no such person in nearby Lijiawan and Dujiaping!
Without thinking twice, she grabbed Grandpa Dai and ran.
The old man in the straw hat was stunned.
He quickly lifted the thatch off the rooster cart, picked up the rocket launcher, and started firing.
Fang Yuan walked towards him. "What's wrong?"
Before the doubt on his face had subsided, Guan Yuxi kicked him away.
"careful!"
Guan Yuxi pushed Grandpa Dai to him, and with the force of the impact, she staggered back dozens of steps.
He suddenly fell to the ground and rolled several times.
With a loud "boom".
Dust flew everywhere, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Guan Yuxi rolled into the ditch.
Fortunately, it hadn't rained for a long time, so there was no water in the ditch.
The old man in the straw hat finished firing a shot and was reloading ammunition.
Guan Yuxi crouched down and quickly approached him.
She took out her pistol, but fired it at nothing.
grass!
At the crucial moment, they ran out of bullets!
On a sudden impulse, she pushed the sand-filled cart and crashed into it.
The old man in the straw hat dodged, but the rickshaw next to him and the accessories on it were knocked away.
He glared fiercely at Guan Yuxi and rushed over to pick up the parts.
Guan Yuxi threw stones at him one after another.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The old man in the straw hat clutched his chest and collapsed.
Leng Lie ran over quickly.
He pulled Guan Yuxi into his arms.
His heart was pounding in his chest.
That feeling of watching helplessly, yet being powerless to do anything about it.
It made him wish he were dead!
"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine."
"Don't be afraid."
Guan Yuxi gently patted his back.
She knew he had just been frightened.
Even she herself felt a chill when she thought about it.
Fang Yuan's face turned ashen, and he kicked the corpse several times in anger.
Grandpa Dai also rushed over, "Xiao Xi, are you alright?"
Guan Yuxi peeked out from Leng Lie's embrace.
He patted his chest and said, "Grandpa Dai, that was so dangerous! I was scared to death! Waaah!"
She hugged Leng Lie's waist and nuzzled against his chest.
Leng Lie: "......"
"Just take care of yourself if you encounter danger in the future!"
Guan Yuxi glanced at Grandpa Dai and Fang He.
Pouting, she looked like she'd been taught a lesson and said, "Oh, that was really scary."
Grandpa Dai: "......"
Fang Yuan: "......"
Grandpa Dai coughed lightly, "Xiao Xi, thank you so much for saving my life."
"How about I adopt you as my goddaughter..."
Fang Yuan quickly changed the subject, "Teacher, we can compensate her financially..."
"Shut up! A life-saving debt can't be repaid with a few stinking coins!"
"Xiaoxi, there are many benefits to being my goddaughter."
Grandpa Dai had a big smile on his face, looking exactly like the Big Bad Wolf.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
