Chapter 172 The Fish Takes the Bait



She said with some regret, "The only thing we can do now is to use the transport team as bait to lure them into the trap."

"In that case, let's wipe them all out!"

Lin Qixia's words, spoken at the end, revealed a sharp edge, leaving everyone in the hall exchanging bewildered glances, all eager to try their hand at it.

"Miss Lin is right! That's exactly what we should do!"

"We need to make the bait bigger, then they'll send even more people over, and then—hehe!"

As they talked, the group rubbed their hands together, eager to teach those guys a lesson.

Amidst the passionate clamor of the crowd, Yun Zhi silently watched Lin Qixia beside him.

It's surprising that she has such courage to make a decision in such a short time.

“Perhaps we should indeed listen to Miss Lin,” Yun Zhi said with a smile.

The crowd became even more excited.

Lin Qixia met Yun Zhi's gaze and coughed lightly, feeling uneasy.

As she continued to discuss things with those people, Lin Qixia occasionally noticed a strange gaze.

"Well, I'll send you the specific details of the plan tomorrow. I have other things to do. You can discuss the rest of the details."

She then made an excuse and turned to leave the council chamber.

Yun Zhi watched her leave without saying anything more.

After leaving the council hall, Lin Qixia was surprised to find that so much time had passed, and it was already evening.

Just as she was about to go back to her room for a short rest, she ran into Lin Jiudong, who was returning from patrol.

Her face, already tanned by the sun, became even darker when she saw Lin Qixia.

"What are you doing wandering around here?" she asked irritably.

Lin Qixia rolled her eyes at her, "This is my territory, why can't I wander around?"

Lin Jiudong: "Okay! Then go ahead and shop to your heart's content!"

She was furious and was about to leave.

Lin Qixia simply followed suit, "What do you usually do here? Could you tell me about it?"

Previously, she was quite reassured about Lin Jiudong's situation because Lin Xiao was there.

But just now—

The guys in the council chamber were initially quite wary of my attitude.

Ultimately, she rarely came here after taking control of the village, and the people there were all very familiar with each other.

People are prone to xenophobia, so Lin Qixia was a little worried that Lin Jiudong might be bullied when he came here.

"Don't you have anything else to say? I'm too lazy to introduce you, so don't bother me!" Lin Jiudong disgustedly dodged her outstretched hand that was trying to pull him.

Lin Qixia stubbornly grabbed her arm: "Tell me, I don't have anything else to do right now."

Unfortunately, she was unlucky enough to finish her work for the day right on time.

Lin Jiudong was speechless, but still agreed, "Okay! I'll show you around! Let go of me first!"

"I won't let go. I'm still your sister. Why are you so disgusted with me?" Lin Qixia said, but instead clung to her even tighter.

Lin Jiudong screamed in disgust, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The two of them walked along the village path, bickering and arguing, under the setting sun.

...

A few days later, a well-trained team from North Ridge quickly moved through the forest.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized; a single glance or gesture was enough for them to understand each other.

Lin Qixia was among them.

"Where are they? I clearly saw that group appear around here."

“That’s right! I’m sure they took this route.”

On the road not far away, a group of unfamiliar bandits were anxiously searching around.

Clearly, they lost track of their target.

In the forest, Yun Zhi looked at Lin Qixia and whispered, "Are there fewer people than expected?"

“Hmm.” Lin Qixia wasn’t surprised. “I think this part is an advance team that came to scout out the situation.”

"Their leader is quite vigilant."

Knowing this, Lin Qixia became even more serious about her response.

"I see." Yun Zhi chuckled softly, a look of amusement appearing on his face at the situation.

Lin Qixia stared at the people below, her voice calm, "The fish is about to get off the hook. Cast the bait again, and then wait patiently."

"Understood," Yun Zhi said, and quickly gave the instructions with hand gestures.

Soon after, there was movement on the road below.

"That direction!" one of the advance team members pointed ahead.

Another person said, "Looks like we didn't lose them!"

"Send a few men after them. I think it's time to make a move. Inform the boss and the others later!"

"good!"

The group finished their discussion in a very short time and then split up to carry out their respective tasks.

Soon the main force appeared on the road and moved forward at a rapid pace.

Lin Qixia smiled slightly: "The fish has taken the bait."

With a wave of her hand, she gave the order, and Yun Zhi also said, "Then let's begin."

Soon the sound of a large crowd moving about arose, and the clash of weapons and screams of pain came from not far away.

By the time Lin Qixia arrived leisurely, Zhang Chushan and the others had almost finished.

After killing a few more people, including their leader, the remaining men quickly surrendered in order to save their lives.

"What should we do with these people?" someone asked Lin Qixia.

Lin Qixia said coldly, "Take him back to Beiling, and I will have someone deal with him."

"Yes!" the man replied and did as instructed.

The plan was executed perfectly. Lin Qixia stretched and said, "Let's go back for dinner."

After these past few days of turmoil, performing surgery and treating Lin Xiao while dealing with these thugs, she was exhausted.

"Hehe, Miss Lin, you've had a hard time." Yun Zhi smiled and accompanied her back.

When they returned to Beiling Mountain Village, they were greeted by deafening cheers.

Those waiting in the village had clearly already received news of their great victory.

They separated the prisoners and locked them up. At the victory celebration banquet that evening, Lin Qixia left early.

Even so, she drank a lot of alcohol and got very drunk.

"Why did you drink so much?" When she appeared at the door of Lin Jiudong's house, she frowned as she looked at her older sister.

It's rare to see her so relaxed these days.

"The problems are all being resolved in an orderly manner, and of course I want to celebrate!"

Lin Qixia cheered, while Lin Jiudong, speechless, helped her into the house: "Alright! You're already like this, you should hurry up and wash up and go to bed."

"Hehe, good boy." Lin Qixia patted Lin Jiudong's head.

Lin Jiudong reflexively slapped the other person's hand away: "You're so annoying!"

For the next period of time, Lin Qixia remained very busy.

Even if the biggest problem is solved, there is still so much work to do in managing the prisoners, which worries Lin Qixia.

Previously, Lin Xiao and Yun Zhi were in charge of these tasks, and they were tasked with reforming them.

Now that Lin Qixia has replaced Lin Xiao, she has no choice but to spend all her time with Yun Zhi.

This clearly displeased Huo Yanqing.

Are you going to see him again today?

That day, Lin Qixia bumped into him as soon as she stepped out of the house. Huo Yanqing stared at her with his dark eyes and questioned her.
