Chapter 97 The Strange Village
The main reason was that Boss Liu said the mission was completed very well, and told the brothers to relax for a few days.
In this way, Boss Liu wouldn't realize for a while that the others had been arrested.
Ning Xuan was sitting in a car chasing after the truck.
Lu Yan's men were indeed professionally trained; they followed the truck's direction accurately the entire way.
Ning Xuan had a cheat code, so she knew she hadn't followed the wrong person, but Lu Yan's people didn't have a cheat code; that's what professionalism is all about.
The train had been traveling all night and all morning before finally stopping in a desolate suburb, where several oxcarts had gathered.
Ning Xuan and her group hadn't arrived by car yet. Since leaving the suburbs, driving would have been too conspicuous, so they parked their car in the suburbs and decided to walk.
On Lu Yan's side, the person following in the vehicle was named Zhao Cheng. He had been lying on the roof of the vehicle, and when he noticed the oxcart ahead, he quickly judged that the truck might stop, so he quickly jumped off the vehicle and hid in the bushes.
Using the truck as cover and because they were still quite far away, the people pulling the oxcart in front did not notice Zhao Cheng.
The truck driver exchanged a few words with the people pulling the oxcart, and then let them unload the boxes.
Presumably because they thought the boxes were too heavy and their oxcart couldn't fit them all, they simply pulled the girls out of the boxes, squeezed them together, and tied them to the oxcart.
The girls were still unconscious, so no one resisted, and the process of moving them went exceptionally smoothly.
It was only then that Zhao Cheng realized that there were actually living people in the box, and it seemed that these people were going to take these girls somewhere else.
Zhao Cheng still made the mark, and then after the truck drove away, he followed the oxcart, making marks as he went.
At first, the road was relatively easy to walk on, but after walking for a while, it became very difficult.
After following the oxcart for about two hours, Zhao Cheng finally found houses to live in, which looked like a small production team.
However, Zhao Cheng did not dare to follow into the village because he found the village to be very strange. Although the houses were all mud houses and the village seemed to be relatively remote, the people did not seem to be living in poor conditions. Moreover, the militia patrolled very frequently, as if they were very vigilant about the outside world.
Even the group that brought the oxcart back were clearly not surprised at all by the large number of girls on it, indicating that they had known all along that such a group would come. However, they still conducted a very thorough inspection of the people and vehicles that had left the village.
This village is too strange. Zhao Cheng doesn't dare to go in and check it out now, for fear of alerting the enemy. So he decides to wait outside the village for his teammates to arrive before discussing the next steps.
The truck driver who returned along the same route encountered Lin Qing and his group after traveling a short distance and was immediately captured. The two of them were also taken back for interrogation.
However, there were only five people in their car at this time: Ling Yi driving, Lu Yan in the passenger seat, Ning Xuan, Lin Qing, and another teammate Cheng Jun in the back.
Lu Yan ordered Cheng Jun and Ling Yi to stay put and watch the two men. To prevent them from resisting, Lu Yan had already dislocated their jaws and arms, searched their bodies, and taken their weapons for Cheng Jun and the others to keep.
In addition to handcuffs, the two were also tied up with rope.
"You guys wait here first, another team will come to meet us," Lu Yan said, then reopened the car door and got into the driver's seat, and Lu Yan continued to drive.
Lu Yan wasn't there when they were keeping watch, but when the truck was about to leave the city and they were going to follow it in their car, Ning Xuan and the others only realized that Lu Yan was already in the car when they got in.
They didn't have time to interrogate the driver yet, so they continued to follow the original plan, following Zhao Cheng's markings.
Soon, Lu Yan and his group arrived at the place where the truck and the oxcart had met.
Lu Yan and his group saw the marks of Zhao City and were worried that the wheel tracks would give them away, so they decided to walk.
Looking at the slender Ning Xuan, Lu Yan suddenly realized he had made a mistake. He should have left Ning Xuan in the city to continue supervising Liang Zhicheng. Why did he bring this female comrade to the front line?
But at this time, with no village or shop in sight, Lu Yan couldn't possibly leave Ning Xuan, a girl, waiting in the car.
“Next, we’ll be walking, which might be quite far and tiring. Lin Qing, you stay here with Comrade Ning and wait for the reinforcements. Once they arrive, take Ning back first.” After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan decided not to let Ning Xuan continue on her arduous journey, not only because it was far, but also because there might be potential dangers.
Ning Xuan shook her head and refused, "No need, I can come along."
"It might be far, are you sure?" Lu Yan looked at Ning Xuan's small arms and legs, still wanting Ning Xuan to stay where she was and wait.
Ning Xuan didn't waste any words. She looked around but didn't see any pieces of wood or anything that could prove her strength.
Seeing that Lu Yan still wanted to persuade her, Ning Xuan acted impulsively and reached out her hand. Just as Lu Yan was about to speak, he realized that his feet were off the ground.
Lin Qing stood there dumbfounded. Their strongest fighter, Minister Lu, had actually been lifted up by a thin girl, and she was even lifting him up by his collar!
Ning Xuan held the position for less than three seconds before realizing what she had done. She was a little embarrassed, but quickly explained herself.
"I didn't mean it. I just wanted to tell you that I'm naturally very strong. Don't let my thin appearance fool you, I'm actually quite strong and know a bit of martial arts. So don't worry about me not being able to keep up or about my safety. I'm capable of protecting myself."
With a dark expression, Lu Yan finally nodded and agreed to let Ning Xuan follow.
Lin Qing chatted with Ning Xuan behind her, saying, "Ning Xuan, you're amazing! You can even lift our Great Demon King up, you're something else!" Lin Qing gave Ning Xuan a thumbs up.
Lu Yan, who was in front, looked even darker. "Lin Qing, quiet down, hurry up and catch up!"
Lin Qing covered her mouth with her hand, smiled silently at Ning Xuan, and gestured with her eyes, "He's embarrassed and angry~"
Ning Xuan didn't know how to respond to that. It was her own fault for being inconsiderate and making the other person lose face in front of their subordinates.
After laughing, Lin Qing jogged a couple of steps to Lu Yan's side and said, "Don't worry, boss, I won't tell anyone."
Lu Yan had calmed down by now. At first, he did feel a little embarrassed, but now he realized that Ning Xuan was a talented person and he wanted to recruit her into their department.
However, we'll discuss that later; let's resolve this matter first.
With serious matters to attend to, Lin Qing stopped joking after a while and continued to follow Lu Yan, taking Ning Xuan with her as they hurried on their way, finally reuniting with Zhao Cheng.
When Ning Xuan arrived at Zhao Cheng's hidden location, she was closer to the paper doll and could sense the girls' current situation through it. Upon seeing this, her anger surged to the top of her head!
After hearing Liang Zhicheng's confession, she knew that the girls who had been brought here before would suffer terribly, but none of them had ever witnessed such a powerful impact. She couldn't wait for Lu Yan's reinforcements; she had to take action first and teach these beasts a lesson!
