Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

The sky gradually darkened. After Mu Xiaoqiao's initial shock, she slowly accepted these things. After all, she was truly reborn and traveled through time several times. She had experienced such incredible things. What else was there to not believe?

"Ayu, you really didn't lie to me again?" Mu Xiaoqiao leaned on Ruan Haoyu's chest and said softly.

Ruan Haoyu ran his fingers through Mu Xiaoqiao's soft hair and said gently, "It's really gone."

After experiencing this ups and downs, he became more determined in his determination. As long as Mu Xiaoqiao can live well and happily, that is his greatest wish. Of course, it would be best if he could accompany her. If he couldn't, he would let her live as easily and comfortably as possible, even if it was... forgetting him.

Mu Xiaoqiao let out a long sigh, stood up, and pulled Ruan Haoyu, saying, "Let's go find Elder Jing."

"Why don't you believe me yet?" Ruan Haoyu was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Mu Xiaoqiao.

Mu Xiaoqiao looked back and smiled, "I believe you, but now that we're here, shouldn't we go see Elder Jing?"

That's right. If they didn't go to see Old Jing now, it would be too unkind. Hand in hand, the two of them slowly walked towards Old Jing's stilt house.

When they got downstairs, Mu Xiaoqiao shouted, "Mr. Jing, we are here. Have you cooked? We are here to have a free meal with you."

As they talked, the two of them went upstairs. Halfway up, Ruan Haoyu suddenly grabbed Mu Xiaoqiao and said vigilantly, "Something's wrong."

Mu Xiaoqiao also felt it and slowed down his pace. "Yes, why didn't Master Jing come out even though I was yelling so loudly? Normally at this time, he should be outside enjoying the breeze."

"Did something happen?"

The two looked at each other and became alert. Mu Xiaoqiao took out a dagger from her bag. This was something she always carried with her in case of an emergency.

Ruan Haoyu also took out his mobile phone, first sent a location to Qi Nanfeng, and then called Qi Nanfeng.

After the call was connected, Ruan Haoyu did not say anything, but put the phone back into his pocket. Qi Nanfeng and the other person already had a tacit understanding, and he would know the purpose of his doing so.

After doing all this, the two of them had already walked to the door. Mu Xiaoqiao listened carefully, and the room was quiet, without any sound.

"Master Jing, are you there?"

Mu Xiaoqiao knocked on the door gently. No one answered, so she said, "Then I'll come in."

Ruan Haoyu blocked Mu Xiaoqiao behind him, reached out and pushed open the wooden door. With a creaky sound, the door opened. Ruan Haoyu did not go in immediately, but took a step back.

A wooden stick whizzed out from the side of the door and hit the door frame, causing the door to shake a few times. It was obvious how much force the person inside used.

However, Ruan Haoyu was prepared and took a step back in advance. He did not enter as the door opened, so he avoided the attack.

After missing the attack, Mu Xiaoqiao had already seen the situation in the room clearly. He saw Old Jing and another old man sitting at the table in the middle of the room. The old man looked older than Old Jing, with a head full of white hair and the clothes he wore made him look like a man of status. He was in high spirits. At this moment, he was holding a teacup, blowing into it to blow away the floating tea leaves, and then took a sip leisurely.

In the two corners facing the door, there stood a burly man in black clothes holding a gun, with the black muzzle of the gun pointing at the door.

There should be people in the other invisible direction as well.

Old Jing didn't look panicked at all, and even smiled at Mu Xiaoqiao. It was only at this moment that he spoke, saying calmly, "You're here."

Ruan Haoyu agreed and stared at the door vigilantly. The man with the stick came out swinging his hand. He was also a man in black. It seemed that they were all led by the old man.

Mu Xiaoqiao smiled, walked past Ruan Haoyu, as if she didn't see the thug, and walked briskly into the door. Ruan Haoyu didn't stop her, but followed her in.

The thug glanced at the old man, and the old man waved his hand, and the thug stepped aside. When Mu Xiaoqiao entered the room, he saw that, as expected, there was a man with a gun standing in each of the other two corners of the room.

This time, he really caught the turtle in the jar. Mu Xiaoqiao complained in his heart, but his expression did not change. He walked to Old Jing and sat down, saying, "Old Jing, who is this old man? Is he the old Wang next door who always comes to steal your food that you mentioned last time?"

Ruan Haoyu also sat down opposite the old man, sizing him up with sharp eyes.

The old man smiled when he heard Mu Xiaoqiao say this, and slowly said, "Little girl, do I look like someone who would steal other people's food?"

"That's hard to say. Didn't I say it? Don't judge a book by its cover. You look kind and gentle, so what's going on?" Mu Xiaoqiao pointed at the man with a gun next to him with his chin.

The old man laughed and said, "You are an interesting little girl. You are not afraid of danger and you are quick-witted. No wonder Chen Heng and his son fell into your hands."

Mu Xiaoqiao smiled broadly and even cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, old man. So you are Chen Taorui's...grandfather?"

In these two lifetimes, Mu Xiaoqiao had never heard Chen Taorui talk about the elders in his family, and he was not sure about the old man's identity. But today he had just dealt with Chen Heng, and now this old man came to the door and directly kidnapped Jing Lao. It was obvious that he knew them very well.

When fighting with others, the most taboo thing is that the other person knows both you and the enemy, but you know nothing. This person is hiding too deeply.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and said, "I am not that boy's biological grandfather, but I am also related. I am the current patriarch of the Chen family."

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen. My apologies." Mu Xiaoqiao bowed to Chen Taihua again, as if she had met some important figure she had long heard of.

Old Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Qiao, your acting skills are really amazing. You are worthy of being a movie queen. Ruan boy, you must train her well. She will definitely make a lot of money for your company in the future."

Ruan Haoyu curled his lips, "Mr. Jing, do I need you to tell me this? This is a top-tier brand that we at Xingcheng have spent a lot of effort to create."

"Ahem..." Chen Taihua was not happy to hear that. He coughed twice tactically, interrupting what Old Jing was about to say. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, no more nonsense, Mu Xiaoqiao, you should know what I want. I can let you know about harming Chen Heng and Chen Taorui. As long as you tell me the secret of the Dragon Soaring Map and hand it over, I promise to keep my distance from you in the future. How about that?"

"The Dragon Map is here with me," Mu Xiaoqiao said, and indeed took out the black iron token from her bag, rubbing it in her hand, and changed the subject, "But I don't believe you. Chen Heng said the same thing to me before, and he broke his promise in the end."

Chen Taihua said solemnly: "What I said is of course a promise. As long as you tell me the secret of the Dragon Chart, I will never trouble you again."

"But no matter how you look at it, I'm the one who suffers the loss in this deal," Mu Xiaoqiao said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, I told you such a big secret, so that you can give an explanation to your ancestors, but I'm sorry to the ancestors of the Mu family, and you just said you won't bother me anymore and that's it. Tell me, is this fair?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Taihua looked angry, but he was still holding it in. "I have a bad temper. Don't make me angry."

"Oh, it's really scary, but Uncle Chen, you should have asked about me, right?" Mu Xiaoqiao put away his playful smile, "I'm not easily scared. I tell you clearly that I can never tell you the secret of the Dragon Map. Even if you kill me, you can only get a piece of iron."

She raised the dragon picture in her hand and waved it towards Chen Taihua.

Chen Taihua's face was distorted with anger. He waved his hand, and a man in black stepped forward and put a gun to Jing Lao's forehead.

Chen Taihua said gloomily: "I can't kill you, but can't I kill the two of them? If you don't tell them, they will die, and you will be neither able to live nor to die."

The atmosphere reached a stalemate. Even though Mr. Jing was held at gunpoint, he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip calmly.

After putting down the teacup, he looked at the people in front of him who were on edge, and said slowly: "Xiao Qiao, in fact, it's not a big deal to tell him. Didn't you know the secret from me? The Dragon Map is nothing big, just give it to him. Didn't I give you two something better?"
