"What exactly happened?" Xia Chuhe asked.
Zhao Maomao was bewildered: "I don't know either. Boss Xin suddenly came over, called Sister Lu out, and after they exchanged a few words, they started fighting."
Zhao Maomao stood to the left and mimicked Xin Diao: "Follow me."
He stepped to the right, his face indifferent: "I'm not leaving."
"Then the two started fighting," Zhao Maomao summarized.
Xia Chuhe: "..."
There's no need to be so vivid.
Unable to get the reason, Xia Chuhe hurried back to where the others were staying.
The "battle" between Xin Diao and Lu Danggui was over. Xin Diao had tied Lu Danggui up tightly and added another rope with a slipknot, pulling him forward with all his might.
Xia Chuhe snatched the rope from Xin Diao and questioned her angrily, "What are you doing!"
“You’ve come at the perfect time.” Xin Diao pointed to the eagle sister lying not far away. “Hold her for me, or you can put her in your space. I’m going to change the map.”
Xia Chuhe had a gut feeling that Xin Diao was acting strangely, so he replied casually, "You carry her yourself, I'll hold the rope for you."
Xin Diao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That works too."
Xia Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief and began to probe Xin Diao for information: "Why did you tie Lu Danggui up?"
"Change the map, go to the lighthouse."
Xia Chuhe patiently persuaded, "I also have a way to the lighthouse. Tell me who asked you to catch Angelica sinensis, and I'll tell you how to get there, okay?"
Xin Diao gently placed Diao Jie, whom she had just picked up, on the ground, and angrily cursed, "I can't wait! You son of a bitch! Can't you see how impolite I am?!"
Xin Diao used his supernatural power to immobilize Xia Chuhe, wrapped Lu Danggui around his arm a few more times, and then tucked her under his arm before walking away.
Xia Chuhe, who was being held captive, secretly groaned. It took her nearly ten seconds to regain her freedom of movement. She quickly took Diao Jie into the farm and chased after her, barely managing to catch up with Xin Diao's afterimage.
Xin Diao's figure disappeared into other areas of the Cape Trading Market.
Xia Chuhe: "..."
She should have realized sooner that the little girl was still up to her old tricks!
Sure enough, when Xia Chuhe arrived, Xin Diao was conducting an "illegal" transaction with Zhu Guanshan.
The rope tying up Lu Danggui was in Zhu Guanshan's hands, while Xin Diao was using her wristwatch to photograph the parchment Zhu Guanshan was holding in his other hand.
Xin Diao, Zhu Guanshan.
Xia Chuhe was angry; she couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Xia Chuhe quickly called for reinforcements: "Your trading market deals in people, huh? Bring as many people as possible!"
Weng Xintian: [Received!]
To prevent the two people involved in human trafficking from escaping, Xia Chuhe braced himself and went over to them to exchange pleasantries: "Hi, what a coincidence!"
Xin Diao stared at Xia Chuhe: "Where was my politeness?"
Xia Chuhe tapped his watch.
Xin Diao reached out, asking for the person.
Xia Chuhe glanced at Xin Diao and gestured with his chin towards Lu Dangui.
Xin Diao immediately understood: "I'll get the person back for you, and you'll have to give me back my manners."
Witnessing the transaction, Zhu Guanshan broke down in his guard: "How could you go back on your word and break your promise?!"
Zhu Guanshan shielded Lu Dangui behind him, showing no sign of backing down.
Xin Diao said seriously, "You wanted someone? I've brought them to you. The transaction is complete. Now it's time for another business deal."
"Huh?" Xin Diao, who had activated her superpower, realized that it was useless against Zhu Guanshan.
Fortunately, her superpowers are not her only asset; she is capable of killing an evolved human with three punches, and hand-to-hand combat is one of her strengths.
Zhu Guanshan had never seen such a fierce and powerful fist technique as Xin Diao's before, and he was quickly defeated in just a few moves.
Xin Diao snatched Lu Dangui and returned her to Xia Chuhe, thus successfully regaining his politeness.
Xia Chuhe untied the ropes binding Lu Dangui and then tied up Zhu Guanshan, demanding sternly, "Why did you capture Lu Dangui?!"
Zhu Guanshan declared confidently, "She's beautiful, I want to have her babies!"
"Is your father out of his mind?!" Xia Chuhe suppressed his anger and swore.
Zhu Guanshan nodded seriously: "How do you know? My father is not only mentally ill, but he has diseases all over his body."
Xia Chuhe: "..."
Lu Dangui was the quickest to calm down: "What's with the map?"
Zhu Guanshan hesitated for a moment, then made no attempt to hide anything: "I have a family heirloom, a living map."
Zhu Guanshan pointed at Xin Diao with his eyes: "She wants the fastest route to the lighthouse, so I found a route map for her."
Xia Chuhe pursed her lips: "Can we find it anywhere?"
“Of course, anything that exists in the wasteland can be displayed, and it can be updated in real time!” Zhu Guanshan’s face lit up with a bright smile. “Give me this sister, and I’ll let you use her once. I can tell she listens to you.”
Xia Chuhe rummaged around Zhu Guanshan's arms and waist and pulled out a roll of parchment: "Here you go!"
They're already prisoners, and they still dare to negotiate!
Zhu Guanshan remained fearless: "Those that have a master, you can't take them away anyway, shut them down!"
At her shout, a heavy sticky force appeared on the parchment, and no matter how hard Xia Chuhe tried, he couldn't open it even a little bit.
During the stalemate, the Xintian Gang members arrived late, led by none other than Weng Xintian.
Xin Diao, who had just taken a couple of steps while carrying Diao Jie, immediately turned back, put her down, checked the photo sent by the Lighthouse on her wristwatch, and muttered, "I was just about to go find you, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"
Weng Xintian and his group had spent most of their time at the Lighthouse, so they didn't know Xin Diao, let alone be wary of her group control and hard control abilities.
For a moment, the Xintian Gang members were all frozen in place. Xin Diao rescued Weng Xintian, picked up Diao Jie, and immediately ran outside.
Xia Chuhe was stunned; Xin Diao was acting very strangely today. Fortunately, she was an outsider this time, and Xin Diao's supernatural abilities didn't affect her.
Xia Chuhe carefully put away the parchment and immediately chased after him. Lu Dangui followed closely behind.
Once the members of the Xintian Gang had recovered from the time control issue, they looked at each other and finally focused their gazes on Zhu Guanshan, who was bound like a human pole.
“The person who tied up Boss Xia is definitely not a good person. Take him away first.”
"The gang leader has been taken away. We're no match for him. We need to tell Big Sister to find some capable fighters."
"..."
After discussing it, some sent word, while others made arrests.
At this moment, Weng Xintian was unusually calm. He even deliberately relaxed his body and slid his head down a little to avoid discomfort in his stomach.
As he left the lighthouse, Weng Xintian had already foreseen that he would be kidnapped soon. He had expected it to happen on the road, but he never imagined it would happen here.
Weng Xintian spoke haltingly: "Shadowless, I sent you to kill me."
Xin Diao remained unmoved, her gaze unwavering as she ran towards the edge of the market, freezing those who tried to stop her in place.
Xia Chuhe and Lu Dangui followed closely behind, followed by a long line of Xintian Gang members who had recovered.
During the run, Xia Chuhe finally pieced together Xin Diao's intentions from the few words Xin Diao and Zhu Guanshan exchanged—
It is known that the map Zhu Guanshan provided to Xin Diao led to the lighthouse, which contains something that can save Diao Jie, and that Weng Xintian is a traitor to the lighthouse.
Therefore, it must have been the lighthouse that lured Xin Diao into assassinating Weng Xintian!
