Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran found a clean stone next to him and sat down. Then he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Tianze and I probably already know where those people came from."

Hua Zian was full of doubts, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them. "You, how did you know that? Have you ever dealt with those people before?"

Li Tianze patted his shoulder and sat down on the other side of him. "Not really. Youyou and I met them twice before because of the thatched cottage. Of course, I was the only one who saw them. They didn't know about Youyou's existence. It was only when Youyou mentioned it today that we remembered those people. We also went to explore the place where they used to live..."

After hearing what he said, Hua Zian realized that the two of them had already gone out while he was looking for his father.

He didn't know what to say about what the two had done for Hua Mingche, so he could only express his sincere gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Well, cousin, what you said is really my fault. If it weren't for our northern land, my uncle wouldn't have to suffer this disaster."

Hua Zian shook his head and disagreed, "You also said that Dad did it for the Northland. The Northland doesn't belong to you alone, so how can you be blamed! As for me, it's different. He's my dad. If it weren't for this time... Never mind. Although Dad's whereabouts are still unknown, from what you said, those people shouldn't do anything to hurt my dad. In that case, let's just wait and see tomorrow!"

Hua Zian felt a little relieved because of their words, but he was only slightly relieved. After all, no one knew Hua Mingche's current situation.

That night, no one was in the mood to eat because of Hua Mingche's matter. They simply ate some dry food they brought and went to sleep.

Early in the morning, everyone packed up their tents before those people arrived, erased all traces of their stay last night, and created the illusion that they had arrived in a hurry.

The crowd began to disperse, pretending to be waiting anxiously.

At noon, there was a rustling sound in the woods behind them.

Leng Youran, Li Tianze and Hua Zian were the first to notice something was wrong. The three of them looked at each other and acted as if they didn't notice anything.

The two of them just took a step forward tacitly, blocking Leng Youran's figure behind them, making a protective gesture.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I really didn't expect you to be so tactful. It seems that this old thing is quite important to you!" A rough male voice sounded.

As his voice fell, many people suddenly rushed out from the surrounding mountains and forests and surrounded Leng Youran and others.

Li Tianze couldn't help but frown when he heard the voice, and his eyes fell on the person who came.

Even though the person in front of him had changed his appearance, he still recognized him at a glance.

Leng Youran stood behind them, his vision blocked, but he could still see the appearance of the person coming through his mental power.

Li Tianze quickly turned around and exchanged glances with Leng Youran. They saw in each other's eyes that it was indeed the same expression.

Then Leng Youran signaled Li Tianze to let Hua Zian go forward to negotiate.

Li Tianze gave Hua Zian an imperceptible push on the arm. Hua Zian understood and stepped forward. "We have brought what you want. May I ask where our people are?"

The man opposite looked at Hua Zian who came forward to speak, and then turned his gaze in the direction of Li Tianze, Leng Youran and others.

When the man saw Li Tianze, a slightly hesitant expression appeared on his face, but it was only for a moment, and his eyes were quickly attracted by what they brought.

Looking at the five large carts full of things behind them, he couldn't suppress the greed in his eyes.

He waved behind him, and soon two people came out from behind him, holding Hua Mingche, one on each side, who was either unconscious or dead.

The moment Hua Zian saw Hua Mingche, he unconsciously took a step forward, and clenched his hands tightly at his sides. If you looked closely, you could see the protruding blue veins on them.

Leng Youran noticed something was wrong with him, stepped forward, grabbed his belt, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, cousin. Uncle doesn't have any injuries on his body. He must have died of hunger."

These words were not meant to comfort her. She had just carefully checked Hua Mingche's condition through her mental power. There was not a single scar on his body, he just looked a little weak.

Hua Zian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words. Thinking of their plan last night, he calmed down and tried not to appear too anxious. "Since the person has been brought here, should we..."

The man opposite raised his hand and said, "No hurry, let me let the brothers check the goods first."

Hua Zian concealed his unhappiness and made a gesture of invitation to him.

To be honest, based on their current distance, whether it was him, Leng Youran, or Li Tianze, they could easily bring Hua Mingche out, but they couldn't.

Because even if they killed these people now, it would be useless.

They will continue to do business in the future and will continue to follow this path.

Even if we deal with these people, the people behind them will continue to do evil.

If they kill the people in front of them now, the people behind them will definitely hate them.

If those people meet Hua Mingche and others at that time, they will definitely not just want the goods.

It is impossible for them to always follow the business team. Just like this time, although they had people protecting them, they could not withstand the other party's large number of people. If it happens again, the outcome will not be the same as this time.

So in order to solve the problem once and for all, the three of them agreed to give up some small things first to let them relax their guard.

As for whether they have the ability to keep these things, that depends on their ability.

With Hua Zian's instructions, the people who came with the man walked easily to the goods.

Maybe they were also afraid that Hua Zian and others would cheat.

When those people went to inspect the goods, they also took Hua Mingche behind the leading man, ensuring that Hua Zian and others could see him. The two people who held Hua Mingche also put their hands on Hua Mingche's neck.

The meaning was self-evident. It simply meant that if they took any other action, Hua Mingche would be dead.

For their plan, Hua Zian could only watch his father being held hostage, and turned his head away unwillingly.

In order to prevent the leader from seeing his appearance and hurting Hua Mingche, Li Tianze also turned his head away with him.
