"Miss Gu, this old man has been waiting for you for a long time! It seems you are doomed to die today!"
Gu Qianlu raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the man disguised as an old man, and she snorted coldly.
"Who exactly are you people? But I doubt you'd dare kill me!"
Hearing Gu Qianluo's bold statement, the old man scoffed.
"Heh, I've never seen such a stubborn person before."
"Old man, we'll see."
Gu Qianlu's hands were bound by the Dead Servants, and her eyes were covered with black gauze. The small boat slowly sailed to the entrance of a cave.
They can only sense their environment through their nose.
As soon as the boat entered the cave, she smelled the scent of algae and some herbs that could only grow in water.
She tried to stay clear-headed so that if a suitable opportunity arose in the future, she could use the memory of the taste to escape the danger.
With a "thump," the boat slowly approached the shore. Gu Qianluo lost her balance and was almost pushed into the water by the inertia.
The old boatman, seeing her delicate appearance, snorted coldly and mocked her.
"With your useless appearance, you actually dare to trip someone up? Oh dear, a woman's heart is unfathomable! Truly, the most poisonous heart is a woman's!"
A woman? The one who ordered them to capture him was actually a woman?
A bad feeling crossed Gu Qianluo's mind.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and bring her up! The client's people are waiting to inspect the goods!"
If it's delayed, this order will be for nothing!
Upon hearing this, the two assassins each grabbed one of Gu Qianluo's arms and forcefully pushed her toward the palace inside the cave.
"Kneel down!" A sharp pain shot through the back of her knee as Deadpool shoved Gu Qianlu to the ground.
"Manager Qin, we have brought the person you requested. Is your payment ready?"
"Chief Mo, rest assured, as long as I inspect the goods and confirm that they are correct, the silver will be delivered to Mo Gui Valley today."
Gu Qianlu's brow twitched. Before she could even think, a blade flashed, a sharp pain shot through her cheek, and her veil fell off in the wind.
Gu Qianlu was brought here wearing an eye veil, and her eyes were not yet used to the strong light.
She struggled to open her eyes and scanned her surroundings.
Although it's just inside a cave, the decor, while not luxurious, is complete in every way; everything you'd find on land is there.
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out.
She then noticed that two men were sitting on the steps not far in front of her.
As her gaze settled, the man sitting in the highest position locked onto her.
The man was muscular with a bronze complexion, delicate facial features, and sharp, eagle-like eyes.
He walked slowly toward her with his hands behind his back and brisk steps, followed by another man.
Gu Qianlu's eyes flashed, and suddenly the man grabbed her chin in his hand, forcing her to look up at him.
"Well? Has Manager Qin confirmed it clearly?"
The person called Manager Qin had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face.
He took out a portrait from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, and looked Gu Qianluo up and down.
"Chief Mo, I have confirmed that this person is the one my master wants to kill."
"In that case, I, the leader, will handle this for you. It's getting late, Manager Qin, you can head back now."
"Master Mo, the master means to clean the person up."
Upon hearing this, Mo Gui's lips curled up slightly, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Manager Qin, don't you trust Mo Guigu to do things?"
Gu Qianluo's eyes darkened, and she looked up at the man who had spoken, a sense of fear rising in her heart.
Noticing Mo Gui's anger, Manager Qin quickly bowed and explained.
"Chief Mo, you misunderstand. Chief Mo has always been a man of his word. How could I dare to doubt your integrity?"
"That's good!" Mo Gui smiled coldly and extended his palm to him.
Seeing this, Manager Qin raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Chief Mo...?"
"Now that we've rescued the person, and we haven't seen the silver yet, Manager Qin, please leave the portrait here first."
Shopkeeper Qin's heart sank, and he gripped the scroll tighter, looking troubled.
"This... Chief Mo, this is inappropriate."
"Not suitable? Hehe! Then I'll trouble Manager Qin to stay at my humble abode tonight."
Manager Qin was used to living in magnificent palaces and would never want to live in this inconvenient cave.
Moreover, the leader of the Mo Gui Valley gang is notoriously violent; if you accidentally offend him, you might lose your life.
"It's just a painting, so let's leave it with Chief Mo for now!"
"I will bring the payment tomorrow, and then you can retrieve the painting."
Upon hearing this, Mo Gui's eyes turned cold, he smiled slightly, and calmly gave the order.
"Someone! Show them out!"
After the figures dispersed, only Mo Gui and Gu Qianluo remained in the dimly lit hall.
"Miss Gu, you now have two choices. First, throw me into an iron cage to be fed to the wolves! Second, become my woman, Mo Gui!"
Mo Gui? The leader of the Mo Valley Gang. It is said that the Mo Valley Gang is skilled in hidden weapons and mechanical arts, and has been hiding in the deep mountains and valleys for many years.
He earned money by helping people with their affairs, and because he was skilled in disguise, the authorities were never able to catch him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianlu raised an eyebrow slightly and said sarcastically, "Chief Mo, what if I choose neither?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Gui sneered and said disdainfully, "Then you're courting death!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo's gaze lingered, and she suggested, "Since Chief Mo is in business, why not do business with me?"
"Let me go, and I'll give you double what that guy paid you."
"Hahaha! Miss Gu, you really love to joke. You're penniless right now, how can this gang leader trust you?"
