Jiang Qiao casually inquired about Cobra from the woman, but unfortunately, she had never seen him before. So, after waving goodbye to the brother and sister, Jiang Qiao pushed the bike and continued on his way.
She can forget about finding a hotel. Even now, finding a place to rent would be difficult. She's not afraid of being recognized, but if someone reports it and a skilled investigator comes to investigate further, she can't afford to waste that time.
As she walked, she lamented her miserable fate. You tell me, she's a pregnant woman, she should be at home taking good care of herself, but now she's in this situation. Thinking about it, she even resents those blind people, especially you two, Sun Tianlei.
They all swore they would guarantee her safety, but what a load of rubbish! They almost died themselves, so how could they possibly protect her?
Especially when she heard the sporadic sounds of firecrackers outside and saw the festive atmosphere emanating from every household, she felt heartbroken.
It seems like she's the one suffering the most, unable to go home or communicate with her family. This feeling is really unbearable.
To passersby, Jiang Qiao was just a beggar. Some were in a hurry to go home for the New Year and wouldn't even give her a second glance. Some kind-hearted people would secretly look at Jiang Qiao and think, "It's almost the New Year, why is this girl still wandering around outside? She should go home for the New Year."
Some people couldn't bear to see Jiang Qiao like this, so they called out to someone to go home and get Jiang Qiao some food.
To be honest, while I felt both amused and saddened, I was also grateful, because there are still good people out there.
However, given her current state, it wouldn't be right for her to refuse. So, she politely declined anything more from Jiang Qiao, only asking for a bowl of hot porridge.
There are good people, but bad people are not to be outdone either. For example, seeing that Jiang Qiao has been traveling alone, some people with ill intentions have started to plot against her.
One of the men, dressed in tattered clothes and without anyone by his side, was about to be targeted by two men who started plotting something.
Don't let her shabby clothes fool you; she has a great figure. Though she may not be the prettiest, her youth is undeniable. So, a single woman like Jiang Qiao offers opportunities to men who are still single, can't find wives, and have wandering minds.
Jiang Qiao was aware of the two people following behind her, but she didn't pay them any mind. Since there were still other people around, she couldn't deal with them herself.
So Jiang Qiao walked further and further into the remote area until she stopped at a dilapidated temple.
He glanced at the two people behind him, said nothing, and went straight into the temple.
Those two men finally saw an opportunity. They shared Jiang Qiao's thoughts: you can't take advantage of a large group, but now that they're here, they can finally have some fun.
However, when the two of them went inside, Jiang Qiao was already standing there waiting for them.
Looking at Jiang Qiao's eyes, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines for no reason. This woman was different from others. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been scared and hidden away long ago. Unlike this woman, it seemed as if she was waiting for the two of them to come in.
The two men exchanged a glance. They were both street hustlers, and while they couldn't be said to be worldly-wise, they were at least somewhat perceptive.
The woman's behavior was different from what they had imagined; they wondered if she was bluffing or if she was truly capable.
Jiang Qiao stared at the other person and asked, "What, you've all followed us here, aren't you going to do anything?"
The man chuckled awkwardly, "Well, we were just worried that you, a woman, would feel uneasy. Now that we've taken you to your destination, we'll head back."
Jiang Qiao shouted sharply, "Wait! Did I say you could leave?"
The two brothers weren't without tempers; at least in their street life, people usually gave them some face. This was the first time they'd been ordered around like this by a woman. Not only did they lose face, but they also felt psychologically challenged.
Turning around, he said, "What do you mean? You only feel satisfied if you make us two brothers do something? Hmph, then we really won't hold back."
Jiang Qiao sneered, "That depends on whether you have the ability. Believe it or not, I can make you bleed on the spot. If you don't believe me, you can try and see if I have the ability."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers hesitated. It seemed that this woman was indeed quite capable.
However, this is just wishful thinking. "Let me tell you, we two brothers weren't raised to be scared. Your tricks won't work on us."
Jiang Qiao snorted, raised his hand, and the two brothers saw a blur before their eyes, as if something exploded in front of them. Then, the two of them collapsed limply to the ground.
Jiang Qiao snorted and busied herself with her own tasks, tidying up the dilapidated temple. It seemed that someone had lived here before, as there was straw and all sorts of things, even broken bowls and jars. She didn't plan to sleep on the straw that night, so she tidied it up to make it look proper.
Seeing that the two people were still unconscious, she didn't have time to wait for them, so she simply took out the antidote and woke them up.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, the two brothers were initially a little dazed. When they came to their senses, their backs were completely soaked with cold sweat.
"Young lady, please spare our lives! We were blind to your greatness. Please forgive our rudeness. It was all our ignorance that we didn't know a master was right in front of us."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "Now you know how tough it is, right? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you off the hook. However, I have something to discuss with you. Sit down, all of you—"
The two of them had originally intended to leave, but since Jiang Qiao had spoken, they could only cautiously sit down in front of her.
"Come on, tell me, what do you two do for a living?"
The two brothers exchanged glances, completely at a loss for words, afraid that if they said the wrong thing, the woman in front of them might become displeased and they would both be finished.
One of them said cautiously, "Well, we're just helping to investigate the black market and run errands. We're not high-ranking officials or generals, and we really don't have any money."
Jiang Qiao glared at him. "Did I ask you for money? Come here and let me see this person. Have you seen him before?"
Seeing the piece of paper Jiang Qiao took out, the two brothers picked it up and examined it carefully for a while.
One of them muttered to himself, "He looks kind of familiar, boss. What do you think? Have we seen this guy somewhere before?"
Upon hearing the other person say that the face looked familiar, Jiang Qiao was overjoyed. If what these two people said was true, then she might really have found this cobra.
The other person frowned and pondered for a while. "It does look somewhat like him, but it might not be the same person. If I remember correctly, I think I saw this person on the black market before. Do you remember him? The one who exchanged gold bars with Old Liu. However, the eyes are similar, but the rest is really not the same."
