Outside a small window in the corner of the cafeteria, several little heads huddled together, tiptoeing to peek inside.

Baixiang was the shortest girl and couldn’t reach the windowsill even if she stood on tiptoe. Fortunately, her two brothers helped her up.

"Why are they quarreling after just eating? What are they here for?" Bai Xiang asked Jin Duobao quietly.

There's still some time before class starts, and the kids are eager to gossip, so they take a peek first.

Jin Duobao groaned, "I don't know what they are doing here! But they used to quarrel a lot. My dad often scolded the three of them at home, and they also said bad things about my dad behind his back."

"You can't come here and freeze for half a night just to have a fight, right?" Lin Huaisong was puzzled. "They can't find any opponents in Yuanzhou City? Why did they come all the way here to find your family?"

"...I can see that." Jin Duobao's face fell, and he looked at the two brothers of the Lin family dimly, "You are all not cut out for business."

How could such an idea come up?

He couldn't think of such a simple reason.

Jin Duobao's disdain was met with two slobbers of saliva.

"Okay, stop looking. You're going to be late. Let's go to the private school first!"

Seeing that time is running out, the little heads outside the window are reluctant to leave.

Inside, Mr. Jin and Jin Qianlai had already stopped the person who was about to leave and brought him back.

Old Master Jin raised his beard and snorted coldly, "We don't let you enter the village, so you think we look down on you? Right now, the Jin family is in a very difficult situation, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow. Why are you running over here now, just to get yourself covered in blood?"

Jin Qianlai poured a cup of Baixiang tea for each of the three people and pushed it over. "Drink some tea to calm down. No matter what our relationship is, let's put it this way. You can have a meal at the workshop and go back with a clean record. This is for your own good. The Yuanzhou Chamber of Commerce has been established for so many years, and we have worked together before. Based on that little bit of friendship, the Jin family doesn't want to drag you into this misfortune."

"…Is it really that serious?" After hearing the explanation, Wang Hai calmed down and his expression became serious.

Seeing the father and son nodding in unison, he frowned and said angrily, "Then can you still hold on? At least send Duobao away to hide? You are the only one in the Jin family! Are all of them hiding in Yuxi Village, waiting to be cooked in one pot?"

"We'll leave later. You have to trust us. We'll find a way to send Duobao away." Fu Pengyuan frowned tightly, his mind racing. "My Fu family has a river shipping business. There are three docks in Yuanzhou City that belong to the Fu family. Send Duobao away by water. I can protect him for the journey."

Wang Hai pondered, "Send it to the northern border town by water. I have connections there and can send Duobao out of the city to hide from the storm."

"Wangyue City outside the northern pass! I have a distant cousin who works as a broker there! It's a trading point outside the pass, with all kinds of people coming and going, and it's the most suitable place for Tibetans!"

Leaving a descendant for the Jin family would be a way to satisfy my conscience.

There wasn't much they could do. They were all wealthy families with hundreds of members and couldn't afford to gamble.

This is all I can do.

Mr. Jin and Jin Qianlai looked at the three of them and laughed.

The cracks of the past disappeared at this moment.

People die for money and birds die for food. No one cares about the past anymore.

No one is completely good, nor is he completely evil.

They appreciated the kindness of the three of them.

"How can you still laugh at this hour? Yuanzhou City is not peaceful right now. A large number of unfamiliar faces entered the city a few days ago. Judging from the scene, their identities are definitely not low. I guess they are people from Hezhou. You better be careful, this time it's really a fatal matter!" Wang Hai San was anxious. "I won't say more. We will leave soon. If you want help, please let us know. There will be no more opportunities if you miss this opportunity. We can't count on the four families of Guo and Yang. They are still snoring on their high beds!"

Even though the situation was extremely urgent, the three of them did not forget to seduce their opponents.

Jinqian held up his forehead and gave the three of them a thumbs up.

Mr. Jin coughed lightly. The four companies they cooperated with were not at ease. They got the news they secretly passed on in advance...

"Old Wang, Old Fu, Zhuo Kuan--" Old Master Jin opened his mouth, preparing to politely reject the kindness of the three. Just as he was considering how to avoid arousing the suspicion of the three, Mo Yi came in from outside.

Mr. Jin immediately stopped talking and stood up at the same time as Jin Qianlai, "Mo Yi?"

Mo Yi would not come to the tea workshop under normal circumstances. If the Yan family wanted to buy something in the canteen, other "servants" in the family would run errands for them.

Mo Yi's sharp eyes swept over the faces of the three strangers, and he whispered into Jin Qianlai's ear, "Young Master, order that the tea workshop be cleared out before nightfall, leaving no one behind. The same goes for the village, do it immediately."

Jinqian's face immediately turned grim, he nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, he could no longer care about Wang, Fu, and Zhuo. Before leaving the canteen, he only had time to hurriedly say, "Go back to Yuanzhou City, leave now!"

Since the prince has spoken, the matter must be urgent and no mistakes can be made.

The money directly caused the tea workshop to stop working for a day, and the workers living in the dormitories were also asked to leave.

The canteen suddenly became quiet, and even the kitchen workers behind the window quickly left.

Wang Hai, Fu Pengyuan and Zhuo Kuan looked at each other.

Zhuo Kuan: "…what should we do?"

Wang Hai's face was dark. "What else can we do? Leave! Stay here and wait to die?"

Fu Pengyuan walked out with his hands behind his back. When he passed Zhuo Kuan, he shook his head with disgust in his eyes.

After all, I am young and lack experience.

You can tell from the situation that a storm is about to come. There is no point in asking questions at this time. Of course, the most important thing is to leave!

Their lives are precious too!

But before the three of them walked out of the cafeteria door, a long arm stretched out in front of them and stopped them.

It was the stern man named Mo Yi.

The man stared at them calmly, and said with his thin lips, "You can't leave for now. Wait until things are settled before leaving."

"..."

The three of them were dumbfounded again, their legs shaking a little.

No, weren't they just drunk and out of their minds, so they came here to express their last bit of friendship?

Why can’t I leave now that I’m here?

What do you mean?

Are you afraid that they will go out and tell on others?

Do they look like that?

They can only leave after the matter is resolved. If the matter is not resolved, will their lives be left here with the Jin family?

Fuck you!

I shouldn't have had that drink last night!

When the three were arrested, their faces turned pale and they were trembling uncontrollably. This time their lives were really at stake.

The night gradually fell.

Darkness gradually enveloped the entire village. Lights were lit in every household, and from a distance, they looked like starlight on the plain.

A group of strong men dressed as horse bandits came down the road from the Shennv Mountain behind the village, and quietly lurked behind the woods near the entrance of the village, waiting with bated breath.

The moon climbed to the center of the sky and then slowly moved westward.

The lights in the village went out one by one. The farmers, who had been busy all day, rested early. It was time to take a break.

The bandit leader in the woods twitched his eyelids and waved a hand gesture, "Kill!"

In an instant, the dark shadows hidden in the forest came out in full force, moving swiftly and well-trained, and rushed straight towards the village.

Under the refraction of moonlight, the cold blades glowed with a cold light.

The air is filled with murderous intent!
