Hearing the voice, Qin Ran held the phone in her hand.
He looked up at the mercenary leader.
It was really just a very ordinary look. Hall Master Zou felt that there was no look more ordinary than that of Miss Qin.
Pretty nonchalant.
However, the mercenary leader jumped back suddenly like a frightened rabbit.
Luo Dui and others: "..."
It is really inappropriate to use "rabbit" to describe an iron-blooded mercenary, but... they really can't find a more appropriate word.
"Well," Qin Ran nodded calmly, "The meat is grilled."
"As long as you like it." The mercenary leader took another step back.
Just before the fight, Qin Ran spoke to him in the same tone.
...
...
Qin Ran glanced at the barbecue grill. Everything had been put away, neatly and tidy. She snapped her fingers and said, "OK, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenaries who were barely surviving all got up, slipped onto the medium-sized truck, and drove away in a hurry.
Like a tornado.
In less than two minutes, only Captain Luo and Hall Master Zou were left.
Like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
Qin Ran had already opened the back door and got into the car. Cheng Mu and Shi Liming were packing Qin Ran's suitcase, which others thought was for a picnic.
"Yes, it's what you see." Captain Luo tilted his head and looked at Zou Tangzhu and others who had not yet come to their senses. "It's not me or Cheng Mu, it's Miss Qin."
In the past, Captain Luo only called her "Miss Qin" as a formality.
Today, the three words "Miss Qin" are accompanied by a kind of fear that comes from the heart.
Captain Luo felt that even Cheng Shui... might not be able to do it, as he could easily take on an entire mercenary group alone.
"Oh, it turns out to be real barbecue..." Master Zou lowered his head and looked at the barbecue in his hand.
This was roasted by a boss of a mercenary group.
Under other circumstances, they can all be sent to the auction house, right?
Captain Luo really understood what Hall Master Zou was feeling right now. He patted Hall Master Zou on the shoulder and said, "Hall Master Zou, eat it. This is the last piece. The cooking skills of the mercenary leader are really good."
Master Zou didn't know how to move his hands, but he put the barbecue into his mouth.
The group of men around him also had blank minds and could not remember anything. They only felt that from the moment they got off the car and smelled the barbecue, things seemed to be developing in a direction they could not imagine.
Cheng Mu and his companions did not seem to be here to carry out a mission, but rather to go on a picnic.
**
Inside the car, Qin Ran took off her down jacket, and the goods that were being fought over were still safely placed there.
She just took out her cell phone.
I put on the headphones and the phone rang.
It’s Cheng Jun.
His voice was calm, "Have you taken action?"
“No,” Qin Ran sat up straight, raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously retorted, “I didn’t cause any trouble.”
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Juan put down the documents in his hand and walked to the window, "Are you sure?"
Cheng Shui lifted the alarm, and Cheng Juan felt something was wrong.
"They were the ones who moved first and kicked over the meat I was grilling." Qin Ran glanced outside and saw that the car had already driven away.
Her tone was quite righteous.
Cheng Mu and Shi Liming in front: "..."
That's right, it was indeed those mercenaries who made the first move...
Cheng Juan asked Qin Ran a few more questions and was relieved when he confirmed that the mercenaries had not used knives.
After hanging up the phone, someone knocked on the door.
The one who came in was Cheng Shui.
"Miss Qin's matter..." Cheng Shui had just received news from Zou Tangzhu and Captain Luo, and wanted to report to Cheng Juan that he was safe.
Cheng Juan raised his hand, signaling him not to say so much.
"Where are the things?" He looked at Cheng Shui.
Cheng Shui didn't say anything, and directly handed the folder in his hand to Cheng Juan, "This is the list I found from Ruijin. The arena makes money quickly, and many people participate. Although there are few high-level life and death arenas, there are several every day. The list of dead people has been crossed out. Ruijin's list is in the database. I asked someone to search for it for a long time before finding it in the database."
There is an arena on the border of Continent M. It is not managed by any party and many people fight in life and death arenas there. There are also some desperate people who fight in life and death arenas here to get rich overnight.
Although the gladiatorial arenas in Continent M are regulated, they are not much better than those outside the country. The life and death arenas are all signed with contracts and no one can control them.
These arenas are managed by the Mas family. In order to gain access to their underground database, Cheng Shui also negotiated with the Mas family.
Cheng Juan lowered his head and looked at the pile of information in Cheng Mu's hand, his eyebrows drooping, and he didn't reach out immediately.
Cheng Shui felt that his reaction was a little strange.
He raised his head and called out cautiously, "Boss?"
Cheng Juan looked up and reached out to take the stack of information. "Give it to me."
After receiving the information, Cheng Juan did not look at it immediately. He just turned sideways and put the stack of information on the table behind him.
"Cheng Huo will be back tomorrow," Cheng Shui thought of Cheng Huo, "I've asked Cheng Huo to investigate the attack on the helipad base last night."
When the helipad base was under cyber attack, Master Zou contacted Cheng Shui.
Later, he was innocently solved. Zou Tangzhu and his men were thick-skinned and thought it was simple. However, Cheng Shui would not think so simply and directly handed the matter over to Cheng Huo to handle.
"Hacker attack?" Hearing Cheng Shui say this, Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he seemed to smile, "It's okay, let Cheng Huo check it out."
Although Cheng Huo is a member of the Hacker Alliance, his hacking skills are not as good as the president of the Hacker Alliance. Cheng Juan initially estimates that Qin Ran's skills are comparable to the president.
**
The next day, at nine in the morning.
The convoy that Hall Master Zou and his entourage were leading finally drove slowly into the manor.
In the ancient castle hall on the second row of the manor, Master Du and others were waiting.
"Mr. Cheng, are Hall Master Zou and the others sure they are all right?" Hall Master Du sat with his arms and legs spread out, his voice very deep, "I heard it was a whole mercenary group, thirty people."
In order to protect Qin Ran, Captain Luo and his team separated out a team of seven.
Hall Master Du was very worried about the safety of Captain Luo and his group. In order to protect Qin Ran, he had assigned all of his elite men to Hall Master Zou last time.
Especially Team Luo.
But no matter how elite a person is, unless they are at the level of their boss, they will be outnumbered.
Hall Master Du now regretted letting Captain Luo go with Hall Master Zou and his men.
As he was speaking, someone came in from outside, "Master Zou and his convoy are back!"
Cheng Shui and Hall Master Du both stood up immediately and walked outside.
A convoy of cars came in outside, with two more cars than before they set out. It was Hall and his team with more people.
The first ones to get off the car were Zou Tangzhu and Captain Luo.
Apart from the strange expression, there was no sign of injury on the body, so he should not be injured. Master Du was instantly relieved.
"It's good that you're okay. The boss said that the goods don't matter, as long as the people are back." Master Du patted Master Zou on the shoulder.
"That's more than just a little bit of goods." The face of Yuan, the head of the Foreign Trade Hall, darkened. This was their performance for the next month. He lowered his voice and said, "I told you long ago not to bring that woman."
If Captain Luo and his men had not separated from Master Zou and his men, there would have been twenty people in their group and they might have been able to fight against those mercenaries.
Although these people didn't say anything, they felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
If Qin Ran stayed in the manor honestly and did what she was supposed to do, no one else would say anything.
But she insisted on being unreasonable and wanted to go out with the group to play. How could Master Yuan and others feel good about it?
Hearing this, Captain Luo looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Master Yuan, Miss Qin is just going there for fun."
Hall Master Yuan frowned, "I know, but that's not the way to play it. There are plenty of places in Continent M."
Cheng Shui ignored them and only looked up at the black car in the middle, "Is Miss Qin okay?"
These people thought that Captain Luo and his men could only escape unscathed if they handed the goods over to the group of mercenaries.
Otherwise, with seven against more than thirty, especially since Cheng Mu and Qin Ran’s fighting power was negligible among these seven people, there was no possibility of winning.
As Cheng Shui was talking, Qin Ran, Cheng Mu and the others came down.
Qin Ran, as usual, pulled up the hood of her down jacket after getting out of the car, while Shi Liming went straight to the trunk and took out the suitcase.
Cheng Mu held the pot of flowers in silence.
Today's pot of flowers didn't look so wilted anymore, so he sent a text message to the old gardener and Lin Siran to tell them about it.
The Purchasing Hall and Captain Luo and their men, who were standing in two rows after getting off the car, couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the suitcase.
Especially Team Luo, thinking back to the barbecue that Cheng Mu and his team had done yesterday...
“Miss Qin, I’m glad you’re okay.” Cheng Shui’s heart, which had been weighing on his mind the whole night, finally calmed down. He looked at Qin Ran and said, “The boss is still in the study.”
Qin Ran nodded and turned sideways to walk over there.
Captain Luo suddenly remembered something, "Miss Qin, where are our goods?"
He looked at Qin Ran and spoke very respectfully.
Respect from the heart.
Cheng Shui and Hall Master Du were both very surprised by the tone. Everyone in the manor called Qin Ran "Miss Qin", but most of them were just routine matters. Not many people would be so respectful from the bottom of their hearts.
But the two didn't have time to think about it.
Because they heard Captain Luo say "cargo".
"You didn't hand over the goods to those mercenaries?" Hall Master Du spoke in a loud voice, looking at Captain Luo.
Hall Master Yuan had always thought that the goods had been handed over, which was why he spoke rudely. When he heard Captain Luo's words, he looked at Captain Luo and others in surprise.
Captain Luo nodded.
Over there, Qin Ran also reacted. She turned back, took out a box from the back seat, and threw it to Captain Luo.
This box of goods only passed through the hands of Zou Tangzhu and Qin Ran.
Others didn’t know the weight. Seeing how light Qin Ran was, everyone thought the box was not heavy.
Captain Luo also thought so subconsciously, but once it came into Captain Luo's hands, he seemed to feel like he was carrying a box of stones!
Looking at Qin Ran's expression, he thought he was going to receive a box of feathers, but who knew it was actually a box of stones? !
He tried to catch a box of stones with the same strength he would use to catch feathers, but he didn't control his strength well and stumbled and almost fell.
Luo team: “…”
Master Zou, who knew the weight of the box, said: "..."
The onlookers: "..."
Qin Ran threw the box to Captain Luo and walked to the back.
The group of subordinates following behind Master Chengshui Du looked at her with unknown expressions and spontaneously made way for her.
Shi Liming followed her dragging a suitcase.
Cheng Mu held a flower pot with an expressionless face.
Cheng Shui and his companions came out to pick up Zou Tangzhu and Captain Luo and his entourage.
They imagined that there would be no more goods to appear, and they were frightened by Qin Ran's casual method of throwing the goods to Captain Luo.
After Qin Ran and the others disappeared from their sight, Cheng Shui, Du Tangzhu and the others finally reacted.
Hall Master Yuan turned his gaze to the box in Captain Luo's hand and asked, "You didn't hand over the goods to those mercenaries?"
"Well, they didn't take it." Captain Luo said concisely.
“Then how did you escape from those people safely?” They were all people who had been in Continent M, and they had all seen how cruel the mercenaries were.
After going through so much trouble and not even getting the goods, you’re just going to let Captain Luo and the others go so easily?
Hall Master Zou said nothing, but turned his gaze to Captain Luo.
After what happened last night, Captain Luo had grown a lot. He did not explain first, but took out his mobile phone, found the social network, clicked on Shi Liming's profile picture, and looked up his updates.
The first post was the one he forwarded last night.
The message that was forwarded seemed to be from Cheng Mu, so Captain Luo clicked on Cheng Mu’s homepage again.
It is like this——
Cheng Mu: I hope they will open a barbecue restaurant in the future [Video]
The updates are public.
There seemed to be someone named Lu Zhaoying asking him who this was.
Cheng Muhui: Chef.
Captain Luo enlarged the video and showed it to Master Du and Cheng Shui.
Cheng Mu’s video shooting skills are average, but his phone has a built-in beauty filter, so the barbecue scene is very clear, but the person grilling doesn’t look like a barbecuer.
He is big and strong with a face full of flesh, and looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.
Master Du and his men also saw Cheng Mu's answer, "What's wrong with this chef? Is he Hall's man?"
Captain Luo suddenly understood how Cheng Mu felt last night, "No. Didn't you ask how we escaped? The guy who was grilling the meat was the mercenary leader. He didn't take the goods last night because he was grilling meat for Miss Qin."

Xiaohuo is about to come out, and Xiaotu probably has two more chapters. I saw someone asked how many words there are in this article. The preliminary estimate is 1.3 million words, maybe less (I feel that the number of words is really not that many, and I’m almost halfway done!) Good night⊙?⊙!
