Chapter 22 Catching the Thief



Ji Xian laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying. It's just a bowl of instant noodles. How come you're the happiest person in the world?"

"Isn't it wonderful to have delicious food?"

"Ah, right." Ji Xian couldn't help but agree. Isn't the point of living this life to eat and drink? Having good food is indeed a great blessing.

The two of them happily slurped their noodles.

They didn't notice at all that in the corner of the wall, there was a person who was tied up, with bloodshot eyes that looked like they were about to bulge out.

I was completely drawn in by that tantalizing aroma.

He had never smelled anything so fragrant in his life.

He was completely devastated.

I want to eat it, I really want to eat it.

Even if he only tasted one bite, he felt it would be worth it for his entire life.

Xi Guang'an is an ordinary member of the Sand Silk Mercenary Group.

My daily routine consisted of doing odd jobs.

Just a few days ago, he and several of his mercenary companions were at the trading post, intending to buy some supplies, when they happened to see Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue also going to the trading post.

At the time, Ji Xian looked sickly and was accompanied by a beautiful woman, which made it hard not to attract attention.

Xi Guang'an and his companions kept an eye on Ji Xian.

When they saw Ji Xian take out a strange packaging bag, several members of the Sand Silk Mercenary Group became curious.

When Xi Guang'an saw Ji Xian being invited into the VIP room, he knew that the contents of that package were not simple.

Ji Xian looked sickly, clearly indicating that he hadn't had the money to buy gene enhancement drugs and certainly didn't have any powerful connections or backing.

At that time, several members of the Sand Silk Mercenary Group had wicked ideas. They had Xi Guang'an secretly follow them, while the others told their leader about it.

Xi Guang'an discovered that Ji Xian went to buy gene enhancement drugs as soon as he left the trading house, which made him even more convinced that Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue had no background or backing and were targets that could be taken down.

Later, Zhang Pengju, who had been Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue's guide, actually got in touch with their boss.

They wanted to pay some money to get them to let them go.

What a joke! They could have gotten everything from them, so why did they just let them go after charging them a small fee?

Naturally, they left everything behind before letting them go.

So the old man made those demands.

Unexpectedly, after making those demands, the two seemed to give up and had no intention of leaving the city.

That's a good idea. As long as they don't leave the city, the Sand Silk Mercenary Group really can't do anything to them.

Unfortunately, Xi Guang'an had to keep watching from the shadows near the hotel.

This was unbearable for him, so he secretly sneaked into Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue's room after they fell asleep that night.

He never expected things to turn out this way, and he ended up tied up.

Now, smelling the aroma, he couldn't resist anymore. He struggled and made "woo-woo-woo" sounds.
