Originally, Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo discussed letting Yuan Wu and Yuan Qi go there, firstly to inquire about Ling Yun's news, and secondly to quietly contact the two senior brothers named Zheng to see if there was any way to do anything.
Who knew that old man Sato got back the Thunder God Samurai Sword and was so happy that he sent someone to deliver a note the next day, which seemed to mean that Ling Yun's situation was not good.
Du Ruo was anxious. Ling Yun had been busy with this matter for two lifetimes. If he was too eager for quick success and fell into someone else's trap, he would lose his life again.
Yuan Tingchuan discussed with Du Ruo and decided to go together to see the situation for themselves.
Before leaving, Yuan Tingchuan made a phone call to his superiors and set off with his men.
Qingshan Village is different from Hexi Village. The transportation in Hexi Village is very convenient. There is a bus to the county town every day. Most of the villagers go out to work, so it is definitely not isolated from the world.
But Qingshan Village is different. There is a natural barrier between their village and the outside world, which is truly a one-man-block pass that ten thousand men cannot break through.
Some villagers have never traveled too far in their entire lives, and have never seen many things. If they wanted to see the world, it was only in recent years that a group of big bosses came and brought a few masters with them, and the village became lively.
The old people in the village all said that they have seen more of the world in the past few years than in their entire lives. Things that we have never heard of or seen have gradually come to our ears and eyes.
These outsiders rented several large tiled houses at the east end of the village. They did not interact much with the villagers. Sometimes they would ask the villagers to work and pay them a lot of wages, so these people were quite popular in the village.
Qu Xin kept throwing tantrums in the house. Her father was really a fool, forcing her to stay in this remote place. What was there here? Not only was there no phone signal, there was no electricity either.
She was unwilling to pay attention to the villagers and was in a bad mood with Han Ming all day long. Even though Han Ming was a bit cunning, he gradually lost his patience with her.
He would rather hide away and stay with the bodyguards than stay in the house with Qu Xin.
"Have a cigarette. Is the work over there almost done? The boss said that after this little bit of work is done, we'll move on and clean up everything here. We mustn't leave any traces behind."
The bodyguard put the cigarette behind his ear and glanced at the large courtyard in the distance.
"It should have been within the last ten days or half a month. Mr. Ling has been out for a while, right? Logically, he should be back, but why haven't we seen him yet? And that young Mr. Ling and his group are trapped in the back mountain. I wonder how he's been doing these days?"
"The guy who delivered the food yesterday said it wasn't a big deal. Once we retreat, we won't be able to take care of him anymore. He'll just have to leave it to fate."
"But Mr. Ling is..."
"Do you think Mr. Ling will come back?"
"You mean..."
"Things here are almost done. They happened recently. It's only a matter of time before we find out what's going on. It's only right to finish the job and leave as soon as possible."
The bodyguard was a little worried. He frowned and stared into the distance in a daze.
Han Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw his expression.
"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Why are you worried?"
Yuan Tingchuan brought a lot of people this time. He left a few people on the edge of the cliff to provide support. He and Du Ruo led their men directly to the back of Qingshan Village.
The group did not enter the village, and the bodyguard pushed Master Zheng in front of him.
Master Zheng's face turned red.
He had originally planned on doing well. He would reveal some of his background to Yuan Tingchuan, exchange it for some money to escape, and then take his entire family and run away.
He never expected that Yuan Tingchuan would not follow his route at all. Mr. Yuan accepted the news with a smile, and there was no way he could leave.
Master Zheng is regretting it so much now. If he had known earlier, he would have never set his sights on Yuan Tingchuan. The other person didn't take him seriously at all, and he couldn't win at all.
"Go quietly to meet your two senior brothers and convince them to cooperate with me. Then I will let you go."
"I've already been fooled once, Mr. Yuan, there's no need to tempt me with big promises again."
"So are you going or not?" Yuan Tingchuan's voice was flat, as if he was just asking.
How could he dare not go? His entire family was under surveillance, and now that he had betrayed his side, what other choice did he have besides following this boss through thick and thin? His only hope now was that this boss would show mercy and let them go. That all depended on his mood.
Du Ruo looked at the direction where Master Zheng left and frowned tightly.
"This Zheng guy is unreliable. What if he betrays us?"
"It doesn't matter if they betrayed me. I've already figured it out. There are only a bunch of craftsmen here, and a few bodyguards from the Qu family. Even if they all come here, they won't amount to anything. I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. Once we've finished our work, we'll leave. There's no need to create any complications. It's not because I'm afraid of them."
Du Ruo understood. It seemed that Yuan Tingchuan had already experienced the situation here. She quietly leaned over to Yuan Tingchuan, put her arm around him, and whispered in his ear in a coquettish tone, "Tell me the truth, have you been wanting to rob me for a long time?"
Yuan Tingchuan put his arms around her slender waist, lightly touched her forehead with his thin lips, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Du Ruo put her arms around the man's neck and laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Wow, boss, this is just going with the flow. It turns out that she is not the only one who has this idea, others have wanted to do it for a long time.
This move of removing the fuel from under the cauldron is quite interesting.
Master Zheng quietly sneaked into the residence of the eldest senior brother Niu Jiang, and through the wooden window, he saw his senior brother sitting on the kang and smoking.
He looked around and sneaked in quietly.
"Brother, it's me."
Niu Jiang looked up and saw that it was him. He thought he came with the Qu family and didn't pay much attention to him.
"Junior brother is here, have you eaten yet?"
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Niu Jiang tapped his pipe twice on the edge of the kang and sighed, "The rumors are not right. Ling Feng has most likely run away. But he has money and no ties. If he runs away like that, what should we do? We have a family to support and not much money. How can we survive if we go out?"
"Brother, the Chen and Qu families are well-established and have deep roots. They have nothing to worry about. Even if they were to cut off their tails to survive, they wouldn't be seriously injured. But for us, it would be a disaster. You must make plans early."
"Plan? Your Second Senior Brother and I don't even see a stranger here, and we don't have any spare money. What are we going to do?"
"Do you know about the Hong Kong City Yuan Group? Mr. Yuan, do you know about it?"
