Chapter 198: Opportunities Are Everywhere
In Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes, Dark 1 was extremely cold. She could be considered to have seen him behind Yan Kuan every day. Dark 1 had always been expressionless and rarely spoke. Could he be like 19?
Shen Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva. She was a little embarrassed and in disbelief. After a long while, she said to 19, “That 19, show your lady your skills today. Normally, you don’t have the time to show your skills. This time, we’re finally moving separately. Show your lady your skills.”
“Miss, this is against the rules. I’m your secret guard. I can’t leave your side as I please!”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at 19 and felt anxious for his thoughts. Although she did not know why the Four Hall Masters deliberately gathered together for the two of them, she felt that there must be something wrong with 19 and Dark 1, because the look that 19 had given Dark 1 with hope was too obvious. However, he was swept away by Dark 1’s cold gaze and became particularly dejected. The disappointment in his eyes could not fool anyone.
Shen Xiaoxiao decided to be a good person until the end. Thus, she said to 19, “Since you are my secret guard, then you must listen to me. We will be divided into groups according to what Yun Qi said. Hurry up and go. If the group with the least prey washes the socks of the entire base today, no one will be an exception.”
Since Shen Xiaoxiao said so, 19 naturally did not dare to speak. However, as a secret guard, he still carefully exhorted her before following Dark 1, who was still as cold as ever, into the depths of the forest.
“Sister-in-law, it’s fortunate that we have you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to match the two of them. I don’t know if 19 will succeed this time. This Dark 1 is so sly. 19 will have to grind his teeth.”
“Ah? You’re saying that 19 is chasing Dark 1?” Shen Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised. It can’t be that magical, right?”
“I think that Yun Qi is only half right. Sister-in-law, the truth is that Dark 1 versus 19 isn’t simple either. It’s 19 who’s dumb. Dark 1 is just like his boss. He likes to beat someone to death, but he can’t say it out loud. He likes to let others guess for themselves. Aiyo, Lei Lie, why did you hit me? Could it be that I’m wrong?”
Huo Gui rubbed his stomach in pain. Why did Lei Lie hit someone for no reason? It wasn’t until Yun Qi pointed at Shen Xiaoxiao that Huo Gui reacted.
Shen Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, had an awkward expression. These people said that Yan Kuan was also sultry, but they didn’t say that they liked someone. Was this Yan Kuan really like that? Then did he like her? Shen Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought. There was a strange silence. The four of them looked at each other. In the end, it was Yun Qi who mediated the situation. He called for everyone to hurry up and set off. They could not lose to Dark 1 and the others. Only then did they split up.
Along the way, Shen Xiaoxiao kept asking this question. She wanted to know what Yan Kuan really thought of her. When Yun Qi saw Shen Xiaoxiao like this, he naturally did not ask her. Instead, they slowly walked towards the eastern forest. He had to hurry up and hunt something back. Otherwise, he would really lose later. He did not want to wash the socks of everyone in the base later. After saying goodbye to Shen Xiaoxiao, he quickly ran away.
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly wandered in the forest alone. Although this place was semi-open, because it was close to the base, there were almost no animals running over.
Because of this, after Shen Xiaoxiao walked southeast for about 10 minutes, she heard sparse footsteps and voices. There was someone here? Who was it? Who came here? The people of the base would never come to this place. Because they knew that they were going to hunt this afternoon, they would never appear in the woods. Then the people who could appear here must be people from the outside.
Shen Xiaoxiao focused her mind and slowly approached the voice. When she went behind a big tree, she finally saw the scene inside clearly. It turned out that someone had really barged in. Not only that, these people didn’t seem to be easy to deal with.
“Boss, this meat pie looks like it’s going to die soon. Should we take a break for a while?”
Among the three of them, the one who spoke was a man in his thirties. He had a pointy mouth, monkey cheeks, and narrow eyes. It was obvious that he was not a good person, and the one who spoke was this pointy-mouthed man.
The meat pie he was talking about was a Chinese man who was at least 50 years old. However, he did not look good at the moment. His breathing was rapid, his clothes were messy, his eyes were puffy, his face was pale, his lips were extremely black, and his hands were tied behind his back. It was in line with what the sharp-mouthed man said. It was probably not good.
The man who was called Big Brother by the sharp-mouthed man was a man in his 40s. He had a crew cut and a square face. He looked a little stiff.
“Rest? Those cops are afraid of trouble and have already gone outside the mountain forest. F*ck, I thought it was a big fish. How come this guy is actually some returned overseas Chinese? He’s even investing in China to find his family. The government is extremely nervous. We have to go through the forest and run out of the border. He’s our talisman now. Even if he dies, we have to take his body away.”
“Let me go, let me go… I’ll give you money, as much as… As much as you want…”
“Hmph, old man, if we had cooperated earlier, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much. Now, it’s too late. We’ve already been targeted by the cops. After we successfully escape, if you still have a life, we’ll let you go. If you’re unlucky, then you can’t blame us two brothers.”
It turned out that she had actually met this group of people here. This group of people was not ordinary people. The main reason was that this kidnapped person was not simple.
In her previous life, Shen Xiaoxiao had only returned to China two years later. However, at that time, this kidnapping case that shocked the entire China had still attracted Shen Xiaoxiao’s curiosity and attention. This was because the year she returned, it was also two years before the corpse of this kidnapped person was found. At that time, he had already become a pile of bones.
As for why Shen Xiaoxiao had determined that it was these people, it had to start with the old man who had been kidnapped. That was because he was too easy to recognize. At that time, all the major television and media outlets on the streets and alleys were reporting photos of the Returned Overseas Chinese.
He seemed to be born without an ear. At that time, because his body had been discovered two years later, after his body had been discovered, it had not been long before the photos of the deceased had been released. Therefore… Shen Xiaoxiao only needed to look at it and she would never forget it.
Moreover, this overseas Chinese’s background was very famous. If Shen Xiaoxiao could save him, she might be able to form a good relationship with him.
Do you think she could get some benefits from this? Of course, this was definitely one of her thoughts. If there were no benefits, why would she be so kind to save a person?
However, to barge in here without permission, even if Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t need to do anything, these two kidnappers wouldn’t be saved. It was just that this overseas Chinese would also lose his life. Now that the opportunity was presented to her, how could she not want it?
