The woman packed her things and prepared to lock the door. "She's busy. She told me that since you like cooking, you should cook for all four of you. I'll take you there."
As they walked, the woman explained, "We don't have any extra food here, so from now on, you'll mainly be eating porridge."
Jiang Qiao turned to look at the woman in surprise. "Porridge? Are you kidding me? Drinking porridge? These people don't even have the most basic physical strength to fight back, and they want to drink porridge? I think we shouldn't treat those four anymore, let them wait to die."
Furthermore, I need to treat them, which is such a physically and mentally demanding task, and you're making me drink porridge every day? Tell your boss, I'm not getting enough to eat, so I don't have the energy to work.
Also, please have Bai Qingping come over; I have something to discuss with her.
The woman looked at Jiang Qiao with a half-smile and said, "If there's anything you need, you can tell me directly. If she can make a decision, so can I."
Also, don't even think about escaping. There are landmines all around. If you don't want to be blown to bits, I advise you to behave yourself.
Also, don't think of yourself as a guest. You're a prisoner; you have no right to negotiate with us!
The woman's words made Jiang Qiao take another look at her. This woman looked to be about the same age as Bai Qingping, both of them quite old, but her face was much younger than Bai Qingping's. Clearly, this woman must take good care of herself regularly.
"Are you Bai Qingping's superior?"
The woman snorted, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Just do your job and don't ask too many questions. Be careful, the more you know, the faster you'll die. I'll give you a month to research an effective treatment for this disease. If you can't, you'd better think twice. We don't care about taking lives."
Jiang Qiao felt that the woman in front of him was not Sato Emi. So who was this woman? She was speaking so arrogantly. Could she be Sato Emi's subordinate?
"Who are you? How should I address you? We'll be spending every day together from now on, so I can't just keep calling you 'Hey,' can I?"
The woman glanced at Jiang Qiao and said, "Just call me Master from now on. You don't need to know my name. You're not worthy."
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes at the woman. "Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're a princess or a noblewoman? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, and you're still dreaming your pipe dream?"
Auntie, wake up! This is the world of ordinary people now, things are different from when you were young.
If you're really indignant, you should ask your ancestors how they could have given birth to so many unfilial descendants who not only forget their roots but also like to grovel and act as slaves to others. This is a real disease that needs to be cured.
I advise you to go to the hospital for a checkup sometime. If you delay too long, you might even forget who your ancestors were.
Jiang Qiao completely shattered the woman's facade. "You little hussy, how dare you lecture me? I don't know if you've eaten a bear's heart or a leopard's gall, do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you—"
Clearly, Jiang Qiao's words touched a wound that the woman was unwilling to reopen.
When words fail, even a half-sentence is too much. A disagreement can escalate into a physical altercation. Does Jiang Qiao think she can tolerate such behavior? She's here to apprehend these people. Does she really think she's someone without a temper?
Bai Qingping could at least pretend, but this woman in front of her was really bad at pretending.
Clearly, the woman in front of her was trained, and quite skilled. Jiang Qiao didn't put in much effort to fight her; as long as she didn't suffer any losses, that was enough.
We haven't finished investigating the situation yet, but in any case, we should show weakness when necessary.
Seeing Jiang Qiao kicked away, the woman smiled smugly, "You really think you can do anything? Feelings are nothing special. You dog servant, come here and lick my shoes clean."
That one sentence ignited Jiang Qiao's anger: "If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how many eyes the Horse King has."
She wasn't unaware of the heads peeking out from all around; this was exactly the effect she wanted. Otherwise, she wouldn't know where those bastards were hiding.
Jiang Qiao leaped towards the woman, and the two instantly became entangled in a fight.
While fighting, Jiang Qiao didn't forget to observe. Good, there are six people. As for whether there are others in the shadows, that's hard to say. As for which side these people belong to, she can't say for sure right now.
The person hiding in the distance was initially observing, but when Jiang Qiao got serious, she also had the intention to kill. This beast was only a menace if left alive, so it was better to get rid of him directly. He was addicted to being a dog, where was his conscience and morality?
Jiang Qiao was serious, and the woman couldn't resist. She quickly shouted for help to those around her, and sure enough, three people ran out from the shadows to help.
Looking at the dark, gaping gun barrel, Jiang Qiao had no choice but to abandon his plan to kill people.
"Remember this, watch your mouth. Even though you kidnapped me, I have a backbone, unlike some people who don't even deserve to be dogs. Get lost—"
Seeing the woman's disheveled appearance, the three men clearly showed expressions of schadenfreude.
"Brothers, you should leave too. It was so hard to hide here. Be careful your boss finds out, or he'll give you a beating."
The men clearly didn't care what Jiang Qiao was saying. They were all leering at her, looking her up and down with eyes that seemed to want to rip her clothes off.
Seeing the other person's expression, Jiang Qiao cursed inwardly. Just as she was about to speak, Bai Qingping rushed over from a distance. It seemed that she had received the news before showing up.
Bai Qingping slapped the woman twice without hesitation, then scolded her a few times before running to Jiang Qiao.
"Jiang Qiao, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that you two would start fighting while I was out running some errands. Don't take what that woman said to heart. If you need anything, you can come to me. She's just a clueless person."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "I really don't want to be angry. Do you know what she's going to do? Make me lick her shoes. Isn't that going too far?"
If you're going to do this, I'd rather we both go down together. I don't care what you do, but please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just an ordinary citizen with no other ambitions than to live a peaceful life.
"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. Take me to the kitchen. Those people need some rest and recuperation. I'll give it a try. If it works, you guys set some rules for them, so you'll know what to expect."
She had to show goodwill, at least to give the enemy the impression that she was cooperating.
As she walked, she made another request: "The herbs you have prepared in your room are all common herbs, some of which are not even useful. If you want to treat this illness, you should ask the person who drew the talisman to draw it again. I think he should have a way to remove the talisman. If I add some good medicine, it might work."
If possible, you should get some high-quality medicinal herbs like century-old ginseng and lingzhi.
You've probably studied the witch doctor's books quite thoroughly. You should really think carefully about the prescriptions in them. Don't expect to achieve results overnight. There are many other prescriptions in there worth learning from, but unfortunately—"
