"etc!"
The ugly leader stopped in his tracks, his face darkening as he asked, "You've changed your mind?"
Liu Qingqing cautiously opened one eye. "No, I want to know why you kicked me but not her?"
"..."
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent. A withered yellow leaf was swept up from afar by the bleak north wind and flew into the air before gently swirling down onto the ugly boss's head, seemingly mocking his unrequited love.
"puff……"
"Who?" The ugly leader's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly turned his head to look.
"I laughed out loud, sorry about that." Xu Kun emerged from behind a boulder, feigning embarrassment.
"Who are you?" The ugly leader stared at them with sharp eyes.
Xu Kun shrugged and said, "Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"
Ugly Boss: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Xu Kun waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it that way."
Ugly Boss: "You!"
The ugly boss had barely uttered a single word when he was interrupted by a henchman standing next to the boulder.
The underling pointed behind the boulder: "Boss, there's someone behind that rock!"
Gu Mian: "..."
Following her younger brother's pointing finger, Gu Mian silently stepped forward and gave Xu Kun a glare.
Xu Kun immediately put his hands together in a fawning gesture and mouthed that he was wrong and begged for forgiveness.
The ugly gang leader glanced at his other underlings and said coldly, "Leave no survivors."
"?" Xu Kun's smile vanished. "Does 'leave no survivors' mean?"
The ugly gang leader ignored Xu Kun and simply waved his hand: "Go!"
All the henchmen around them rushed forward and charged towards Xu Kun and Gu Mian.
Taking advantage of the fact that the ugly boss's attention was diverted, Guan Shanyue and Liu Qingqing quickly subdued and suppressed the two men's underlings, and each of them was killed with a knife.
"Run!" Guan Shanyue shouted and quickly threw a smoke grenade, and thick white fog instantly filled the entire area.
Gu Mian: "..."
She came here to earn points, so why is she running away?
"Trying to run? No way!" the ugly gang leader roared, pulling out a large hairdryer and blowing away the steam.
The thick white fog lasted for less than three seconds before gradually dissipating. Guan Shanyue and Liu Qingqing didn't even manage to run a hundred meters.
Seeing the two people who were once again suppressed by their underlings and tightly bound with ropes, Gu Mian suddenly felt embarrassed on their behalf.
"Need help? One thousand points can save someone."
"Heh." The ugly leader glanced at her disdainfully: "You can't even save yourself, and you want to save others?"
Gu Mian ignored him, focusing only on Guan Shanyue and Liu Qingqing, and made a questioning nasal sound.
Liu Qingqing glanced at Guan Shanyue, who was looking down with an expression that was hard to decipher, so she spoke up herself: "Xing Zhao is right. You can't even save yourself, how can you save us?"
"She's probably trying to scam you out of points," the ugly leader, Xing Zhao, added with a cold laugh.
"Don't make this too funny." Gu Mian pulled down the scarf wrapped around her face speechlessly. "Do I look like someone who's short on points?"
"Are you Gu Mian?" Liu Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.
Guan Shanyue suddenly raised her head: "Sister, save me!"
"Gu Mian?" Xing Zhao stared at Gu Mian's face, squinting as if trying to confirm something.
"This is Gu Mian? This is the first time I've seen her in person, she's so beautiful!"
"Um, Gu Mian is my idol! What should I do if I don't want to make a move on my idol?"
"Well, I'm her simp, I really love her face."
"Brother, let's talk in private. I'm also her simp..."
"Heh, you shallow men, all you know is looks! I'm different, I admire her talent!"
"So you're just a sycophant who idolizes the strong, huh? What, you want to discriminate against us simps?"
"I... fucking..."
...
Listening to his underlings' whispers, Xing Zhao's face turned from black to green, then from green to black again.
He pondered for a moment before forcing a smile: "Gu Mian? I don't want to fight you. As long as Guan Shanyue hands over the box, I'll let them go."
"I, Xing Zhao, keep my word. Besides, if I really wanted them dead, how could they have survived until now?"
"You don't want to? You clearly can't take us down." Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.
The smile on Xing Zhao's face froze for a moment. She took a deep breath and pretended that she hadn't heard anything.
Xu Kun casually asked, "The box? What box? Can we take a look?"
Liu Qingqing then looked at Guan Shanyue, who remained silent for two seconds before managing a weak smile: "Diamond Treasure Chest."
As for Xu Kun's unreasonable request to see the box, she simply ignored it.
Xu Kun's eyes lit up: "You can find a diamond treasure chest here?"
Guan Shanyue didn't want to say much, but seeing that Gu Mian also looked curious, she reluctantly explained, "I found it using a treasure map."
Treasure map?
Gu Mian seemed to be deep in thought. She thought she had one too, and she would study it carefully when she got back.
Xu Kun clicked his tongue: "Seriously, bro, you've already split the spoils enough, haven't you? They found the chest with a treasure map, why are you just going to take it for free?"
Xing Zhao said calmly, "My fists are bigger than theirs. I am innocent, but I am guilty of possessing a treasure."
That makes sense; it's a survival game, a dog-eat-dog world.
Xu Kun didn't know where to refute this, since he thought the same thing, but he had a bottom line and wouldn't do something like stealing a girl's things.
"I wonder whose fist is bigger between us?" Gu Mian looked at him with a smile, as if she was genuinely curious about it.
Xing Zhao's smile vanished, and he looked back at her expressionlessly: "Is this something you absolutely have to get involved in?"
Gu Mian: "Hmm... I'm not really sure either?"
She turned to Guan Shanyue and Liu Qingqing: "So, what do you two think about saving someone with a thousand points?"
Liu Qingqing nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Help! Help! Boss, save me!"
Guan Shanyue said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, sister."
Gu Mian raised the corners of her lips: "No trouble at all, it's not a fee."
After saying that, he looked at Xing Zhao with a forced smile and said, "So, how about we see who has the bigger fist?"
She was quite interested in the 10,000 points.
Xing Zhao stared silently at Gu Mian, as if trying to etch her face into his heart.
After a long while, he waved to his underlings and said, "Let's go."
Suddenly, one of the henchmen pulled out a scroll, tore it open, and the next second, the group of people vanished from the spot.
Xu Kun twitched his lips and loudly complained, "Damn! What a show-off!"
Gu Mian nodded in agreement. It was indeed quite pretentious, and she would try it herself if she had the chance.
Liu Qingqing rubbed her sore wrist and ran over excitedly: "Big boss, what are you guys doing here?"
Gu Mian: "I came with you."
Liu Qingqing was stunned: "Huh?"
Guan Shanyue walked over silently with her head down: "Sister, do you want this box?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shimmering, colorful box suddenly appeared on the ground.
