The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiang Li gradually calmed down under Mu Jiuchen's patient comfort, but he was still worried about the safety of his elder brother and cousin.

"We lost contact with your elder brother on the fifth day after he went to Yangzhou, but I have sent people to search for him, and I believe there will be news soon." Mu Jiuchen knew that he could no longer conceal the matter, so he had to tell the truth.

"Who did my elder brother and cousin encounter in Yangzhou? How dare they imprison them!" Mu Jiuchen was deeply impressed by Jiang Li's intelligence. Based on the word "lost contact" he said, she could keenly guess that her elder brother and cousin might be in prison. In fact, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci did fall into the hands of a mysterious dark organization in Yangzhou. As for whether this organization is related to the Jiangnan disaster relief case, further investigation and verification are needed.

Finally, Mu Jiuchen analyzed the situation in Yangzhou for Jiang Li and repeatedly assured her that her elder brother and cousin would be fine. Only then did Jiang Li feel relieved.

At this moment, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci, who were being discussed by the two people, were trapped in a dungeon in Yangzhou. The dungeon was dark and damp, full of the smell of decay. Jiang Xing and Xie Ci lay quietly on the cold ground, as if they had lost all their vitality. It was obvious that they had been drugged and their bodies could not move, but their consciousness was still clear.

Fortunately, despite being in such a harsh environment, the two of them have not suffered any substantial injuries.

At this time, a man in black walked into the dungeon. His figure was tall and majestic, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. He looked at Jiang Xing and Xie Ci indifferently, then turned around and gave orders to his men behind him: "Keep an eye on them, and deal with them when the boss comes back." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a group of men who were closely guarding.

"Hmm~~" Xie Ci slowly moved his body with a slight groan. It was as if after a long sleep, his body gradually regained some consciousness. After a long while, he finally propped himself up and sat up. His eyes were blurry and his vision was unclear. He blinked hard, trying to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Gradually, the scene in front of him became clear. Xie Ci was surprised to find that he was in a dark and damp dungeon. Surrounded by cold stone walls, weak light shone through the vents above, barely illuminating this small space. He was filled with doubts and uneasiness.

Suddenly, Xie Ci's eyes fell on his side. He saw Jiang Xing who was also unconscious, so he quickly reached out and pushed his shoulder, calling softly: "Cousin, wake up..." There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Jiang Xing seemed to be awakened by Xie Ci's shout, and soon he also woke up. At first, his eyes revealed confusion, but he soon realized the predicament they were in. His face instantly became serious, and he began to quickly observe the surrounding situation.

"We were really too careless this time!" Jiang Xing muttered to himself while rubbing his slightly aching temple. He never thought that he and his cousin would encounter such a bizarre thing when they went to the slums to investigate a case.

Originally, they just wanted to find some clues, but at this moment, a kind old man invited them to sit down and have a cup of tea. Jiang Xing did not suspect anything, but who knew that this was a trap - they were drugged! At this moment, Jiang Xing was full of doubts: Who is this mysterious old man? Why did he do this? Could it be that all this is related to this case?

"Cousin, who on earth arrested us? Could this be related to the case?" Xie Ci, who was standing aside, although he usually didn't like to think, also noticed something strange at this moment. After all, they had just arrived in Yangzhou for a few days and were inexplicably kidnapped. There must be some unknown secrets behind this.

Jiang Xing frowned and fell into deep thought. He began to recall every detail of what had happened in the past few days, trying to find some clues. However, apart from the mysterious old man, there seemed to be nothing else suspicious...

"Just wait! Since the people behind this dare to capture us without any harm, they must have something to ask for. Now we need to determine where exactly this place is!" Jiang Xing analyzed calmly while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"Yeah, we can only wait and see. Besides, if Shopkeeper Jin finds out that we are missing, he will probably take some action!" Xie Ci nodded, agreeing with Jiang Xing's opinion. After all, they are in a strange place now, and they know nothing about everything around them. Blind actions may bring more dangers. At this moment, staying calm and patient is the most important thing.

When it was time to light the lamps, the outside became quiet, and the sound of frogs and insects gradually came in. The temperature also dropped. Jiang Xing was sure that they should be on the mountain.

"It's time to eat!" Jiang Xing was concentrating on listening to the noise outside, when he suddenly saw a figure slowly approaching, holding a few steamed buns and two bowls of clear water. The man walked closer, gently placed the food on the ground, and then turned and left without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait a moment!" Xie Ci, who had been paying close attention to the situation outside the door, saw someone finally appear and hurriedly called out to the other person.

However, the man just paused for a moment, without even looking back, and left without looking back.

"Why is this guy like this? He clearly heard me calling him, but he ignored me!" Xie Ci complained dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, don't worry about it, eat first, save your energy." Jiang Xing picked up a steamed bun from the ground and handed it to Xie Ci, then he also picked up one and took a bite without hesitation. Xie Ci took the bun, but his eyes stayed on his cousin. Seeing his cousin eating so naturally, his doubts deepened.

"Cousin, can this steamed bun be eaten? It hasn't been drugged again, has it?" Xie Ci was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! If they wanted to harm us, we would have died long ago. Now that we are still alive, they won't drug us easily again." Jiang Xing comforted him, taking another bite of the steamed bun. Xie Ci felt relieved after hearing this, but his eyes still wandered over the steamed bun. Finally, he gritted his teeth and started eating.
