This group of people live on the edge of a knife, so they value their lives more.
If they encounter treasure hunting in the deep mountains, they will give up because they know there is no return.
No matter how powerful they are, they are just human beings. Can they compare with wild beasts in terms of ability or sensitivity?
"Brother Lin, are those things really in their hands?" Several subordinates wondered if they could really get the things even if they risked their lives to break in.
They were not sure about the man, so the only thing they could think of was to catch the woman and threaten him.
But now in this deep mountain, they have no chance of winning. If the man doesn't take action, they will be torn to pieces by the beasts.
"The Chu family said that the things are with them and they can only stay with them. Even if the things are not with them in the end, we don't have to bear the consequences."
Brother Lin had a plan in mind. When they found those treasures, because too many people were paying attention to them, they were unable to put the most important things in several boxes of white and yellow items.
They knew that to the wealthy families, those rare jewels were much more valuable than gold and silver items, and only those at the bottom of society thought that gold and silver items were more valuable.
The country cannot always be like this. Gold is valuable in troubled times and jewelry is valuable in prosperous times. Those who understand will understand.
When many things could not be saved, they took the initiative to hide the books.
One of their books was lost during the process, and the Chu family who hired them were very angry. They knew that as long as those things were there, the Chu family would have no way to deal with them.
Later, the higher authorities cracked down severely, and the Chu family had no choice but to protect them if they wanted those ancient books. They have kept a low profile for many years.
It wasn't until they heard that the place where they hid the treasure was going to be sold that they all went out to get it back.
Because they hadn't done it for a long time and were not well prepared, they didn't dig it out the first time. Plus, there were so many people coming and going there, they decided to come again next time.
Just that one hesitation caused them to fail, and when they went back, the things were gone. They also investigated for a long time, and the Chu family almost handed them over when they heard that the things were gone.
Later, for some reason, he fell silent. A month ago, he suddenly contacted them again and told them that the things were in the hands of those two people and asked them to get them at all costs.
They understood what the Chu family meant. As long as they got these things, all their grievances would be wiped out.
They had been following the two men for a long time. The man was so mysterious that he could command the beasts.
What's more, that woman is too low-key. Not only does she rarely go out, but she also has a tiger guarding her home. They have no way to deal with her.
Until this time when they went to the provincial capital, their chance came, but they still avoided it. Thinking of this, Brother Lin smashed his head hard against a tree nearby.
"Brother Lin, what should we do next?" Several of his men didn't dare to go in, even though they knew they were inside.
"I will discuss it with the Chu family." Brother Lin asked a few brothers to stay here to guard the place, and he and the others rushed to the town. He wanted to meet the Chu family.
When Ren Jingxiao arrived in the town, he went to the place where he worked with Chu Zhenyu. It was no longer desolate.
There were two people squatting at the door. Ren Jingxiao knew at a glance that even if Chu Zhenyu was not there, other people from the Chu family must be here.
"Who are you?" The two people guarding the door initially thought he was just a passerby and ignored him. Their Chu family was very low-key and it was impossible for anyone to know them.
"I'm looking for Chu Zhenyu." Ren Jingxiao looked at the two men and spoke directly without any nonsense.
The two were stunned when they heard him directly say the name of the youngest master of the Chu family, and he looked like he was not someone to be trifled with. They thought about it and went in.
Ren Jingxiao didn't even say his own name, but he gave people the impression that he disdained to deal with them.
When Chu Zhenyu heard someone was looking for him, he thought it was those tomb raiders, but then he thought that those people would not come looking for him so blatantly, and the two of them also knew the leaders.
When he saw Ren Jingxiao at the door, he paused for a moment, then reacted and immediately blocked the two men in front of him.
Ren Jingxiao walked in directly after seeing him. Perhaps they were frightened by Chu Zhenyu's appearance, so the two people at the door forgot to stop him.
"Um...Um, Brother Ren, long time no see." Chu Zhenyu didn't expect him to come to him like this.
He was not afraid of him before, but the news brought by the tomb raiders, saying that he could command wild beasts, reminded him of his experiences in the mountains.
He knew that this person was extraordinary since he could find such rare medicinal herbs there. He didn't expect that he was not only extraordinary, but also extremely mysterious.
In addition to his relationship with the Shen family, he didn't dare to confront him at all. He knew that he would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
It seems that those tomb raiders not only failed to get anything but were also exposed. He regretted not bringing more people with him.
"Why are you pretending to be confused? Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Ren Jingxiao found a bench and sat down, looking at Chu Zhenyu.
"Brother Ren, that... is all a misunderstanding. We've worked together so many times before, so let's talk it out."
Chu Zhenyu was afraid that Ren Jingxiao would take direct action because the Shen family was behind him. They were a group of people who protected their own people. In the end, his family might give up on him to please others.
"Misunderstanding! Tell me, why did your Chu family send those people to follow me for no apparent reason?" Ren Jingxiao originally came to dispel their suspicions.
"That..." Chu Zhenyu was also dumbfounded. He knew it was not difficult to tell that those tomb raiders were sent by the Chu family. Even if he couldn't find out, the Shen family was behind them.
But did he really not know what they were looking for him for? He thought of his family saying that the pressure from the Shen family was increasing and they were about to break down, and asked him to do it as soon as possible. He was in a dilemma now.
"Brother Ren, let's be frank. I know you have those things. How about this, if you hand them over, we'll pretend nothing happened. Our Chu family will also give you a large sum of money or whatever you want."
Chu Zhenyu thought about it and decided that if they continued targeting each other like this, neither side would be in trouble. It would be better for both sides to take a step back. After all, those ancient books would be of no use to Ren Jingxiao.
"I've said it before, I only have a few wild ginsengs left, and I'm going to keep them for myself. I won't give them away. I've made a lot of money over the years, and I'm keeping those few things to save my life."
"You've been here for quite a few years, and you know there are only a few rare medicinal herbs in these mountains. I've already given you two, and I won't give them up even if you send more people. If you don't believe me, just try it. At worst, I'll hide in the mountains for the rest of my life, and see if you dare to come in."
Ren Jingxiao acted crazy and stupid, and his tone was harsh and cold, which made Chu Zhenyu, who was listening at the side, stunned.
