Whether Tang Susu was bold enough to accept the challenge was one thing. She originally wanted to end it quickly, but she had run out of time because of the slight delay.
“It’s getting late. Let’s do this after we come back later at night.”
They didn’t even eat lunch and simply headed to Chuanji County together with Cao Huibao and Duan Hongyu, whom they had just rescued.
Lu Yunxiang, Bai Yanhui, He Qiang, Tang Mingqi, and Tang Mingchu tagged along. They had planned this a long time ago.
Tang Susu wouldn’t delay an important matter just because of Eighth, especially since they didn’t know if the route would be swallowed by the rising tide. They had to hurry.
As soon as Tang Susu spoke, they immediately prepared themselves and followed her without saying a word.
The group rushed out of the door.
Eighth, who had just picked up the handheld and was about to teach her a lesson, couldn’t even react when Tang Susu disappeared. Immediately after, the sound of a car starting came from outside.
He was in complete confusion. “What is she doing? Is she running?”
“If I’m not mistaken, I think she believes that you’re not a threat.” Eleven gave him a solemn nod.
“You didn’t rest well last night,” Qing Mo said. “You should take a rest first so that you won’t lose too badly later.”
“What rest? You should seize the time to practice your skills and see if you can still make up for it.”
Eighth felt humiliated. “Are you really my squad mates? You’re siding with outsiders?”
However, Dumei then added, “The point is, whatever you’re doing will be meaningless. You can’t win, no matter what.”
What she meant was that Shen Zhiting would side with Tang Susu. No matter how much Eighth struggled, the result would be the same. Eighth had provoked her first, so he wasn’t in a righteous position.
“But it’s better than doing nothing!”
“Well, boss will be back tonight.”
Eighth was speechless. ‘To think that Tang Susu would be so cunning!’
“Does she think she can avoid this once the boss is back later to help her with this?” Eighth smiled coldly.
Not that far away, Lao Yao, Yuan Lie, and Mr. Tang were sitting on the sofa calmly, looking at him as if they were looking at a mentally challenged child.
“Why are there always people who don’t know their place and they have to be shown just how powerless they are?”
Yuan Lie glanced at Lao Yao, secretly thinking to himself that he was once part of them too. However, “them” didn’t include him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have settled down so suddenly.
Well, there was no fun to be had since he was already seen through. That being said, it was much more interesting to make people become more confused and unable to see the truth of it all clearly…
Tang Susu was gone for a very long time because they had run into some trouble.
If Cao Huibao hadn’t shouted in her hometown’s dialect, they might have been shot to death already.
Tang Mingqi finally knew why this group of villagers, especially a group of lonely old villagers with very little powerful forces, could form a faction of their own.
Tang Susu nodded. “That’s right. I’m looking for master Zhang Yuanyan.”
If it wasn’t for Shen Zhiting’s communicator and Changming, who had been one step ahead to get a clearer picture of the situation, Tang Susu would have spent much more effort to find this master architect whom Uncle Wei had asked her to find.
She even thought he would be in his hometown in Yude County. She didn’t expect that he would be in Chuanji County. He had even set up layers of defense mechanisms here, not only to prevent the invasion of zombies but also to prevent the arrival of all kinds of people with ill intentions.
Just as she was thinking, a huge net popped out from somewhere and covered them all!
Tang Mingchu instinctively wanted to resist, but Tang Susu pulled him back. She wanted to see just how skilled this master was. After all, since she had decided, she had to be part of this, too.
In the next second, they suddenly tumbled down as the ground gave way and they fell into a trap. It was something like a huge pipe. They continued sliding down and all the way into an iron cage as some of them screamed… Cao Huibao was screaming because she was scared, but Bai Yanhui screamed because she was excited.
When Tang Susu got up from the ground, she couldn’t help but look a little disheveled.
Outside the iron cage, there were already people waiting there leisurely while listening to Kunqu, a kind of traditional opera.
“We’re here to discuss cooperation. Is this how you treat a potential business partner who comes to you?” Lu Yunxiang, who had been stepped on several times by Bai Yanhui, was furious and wanted to step on his face.
“Tsk, I lost count of the number of people who talk about cooperation with us.” The old man didn’t even bat an eyelid. He blew on the tea leaves in the thermos cup and took two sips before looking at Cao Huibao..
