A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

"This damn mountain road is so damn hard to walk on!"

"It's just kidnapping a young woman, why hide in this remote mountain valley? With such a cowardly attitude, why take on gangster jobs? You should just go home and farm!"

The man's voice complained as he drew closer.

This was followed by a burst of laughter, along with shouts and whistles.

It seems that the mastermind behind this has servants around him.

The robbers had just gotten up to greet them when they heard these sarcastic remarks, and their expressions changed.

The female robber was furious and looked like she was about to rush forward to argue, but was held back by her companion.

After all, their skills are limited, and they can only get small jobs, barely making ends meet.

For example, kidnapping a vulnerable woman like this today.

No need for murder or bloodshed; it's simply a matter of handing over the person and receiving the money.

So even if the robbers were dissatisfied with the employer, they didn't want to cause any more trouble when they thought about getting the money.

When the employer who had spoken finally came up, he was panting and looking around.

"Where is the person I want?"

The moonlight was bright tonight, and when the man looked up, Gu Xixi could clearly see his face.

A completely unfamiliar face I've never seen before.

But looking at his every move, even the slightest expression, one can't help but feel disgusted.

The robbers walked over with the man.

Gu Xixi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Because Gu Xixi had given her prior instructions, Dou Rongshan, despite being terrified, could only keep her eyes tightly shut.

The man bent down to look at the two of them, grinning with a lewd smile.

"I paid one fee, but they tied up two people for me."

"Your business is doing quite well, buy one get one free."

The female kidnapper rolled her eyes in disdain and said impatiently, "Didn't you want to find that woman surnamed Gu and find out where your child's mother is?"

"Just pay the money and take the person you want. The other girl has nothing to do with you!"

Men are used to doing whatever they want, and seeing that the two girls in front of him were both pretty, he was overcome by lust.

"Who cares about one or two of them? I'll just pay you double the price, won't that solve the problem?"

"No!" the female kidnapper immediately objected, but was stopped by the leader.

The leader held out his hand to the man, saying, "You said it, double."

The female kidnapper frowned and looked at her companions, clearly disapproving.

But everyone else avoided her gaze.

They were overjoyed that their employer hadn't tried to lower the price and was even willing to pay double.

The man was followed by three male servants.

One of them counted the money and handed it to the kidnapper leader. "Alright, alright, get out of here, this is none of your business."

At this moment, the man stood in front of the two girls, leering at them while waving behind him.

"San'er, only you have seen that girl. Come and take a look."

"Who the hell took my Lü Jing away and instigated her to go to the capital to file some complaint?"

"After I've had my fill tonight, she'll be yours to play with, you can do whatever you want with her."

As the saying goes, a dog follows its master; upon hearing this, the wicked servants swallowed hard with wicked smiles.

The female kidnapper kept turning back as she left, and upon hearing this, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Ignoring her companions' attempts to stop her, she turned around and questioned, "You said that woman surnamed Gu abducted your child's mother, but how come you can't even recognize her?"

The man said irritably, "None of your business! I've taken the money, get out!"

The female kidnapper clenched her fists. "You lied to us! There were no children at all, were there?!"

"You made up the story that Miss Gu's evil deeds caused you to be separated from your wife and children!"

Caught red-handed, the man didn't even turn his head, his eyes filled with malice. "Do you know who you're talking to? A bunch of lowly scoundrels who rob and plunder are nothing but cowards!"

"I'm giving you face, so know when to stop!"

"If you don't get out of here, and I get angry, I'll send you all to the yamen jail one by one. Whether I behead you and give you a quick death, or I toss you around and play with you, it's all up to me!"

By the end, the man's tone was vicious, his face contorted, as if he were a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

Dou Rongshan peeked through a small crack in her eyes and unfortunately saw the man's terrifying face.

She silently closed her eyes again, wishing she could just faint and end it all.

Who is this person?

So brutal! So terrifying!!

I should have known better than to follow Gu Xixi!

Gu Xixi, Gu Xixi, give us some feedback on what to do! Don't let us both die before our saviors arrive!

The wicked slave in charge of identification was named San'er.

He was lame, and he limped up, bent down to look at Gu Xixi as if he was unsure, and then looked at Dou Rongshan beside him.

Gu Xixi thought to herself that on the day she rescued Dou Rongshan on the road, she didn't use a deadly poison to avoid trouble.

To prevent these people from committing further evil deeds, An Qinghe severed their Achilles tendons.

The third child in front of us is probably the only lucky one among them; he has recovered to the point that he can barely walk.

Since the wicked slaves who survived that day are here.

Their master, the employer of today's events, is naturally the man who calls himself the young master... Fan Dongping.

Gu Xixi felt that her previous guesses had been confirmed and that the trip had not been in vain.

I was just thinking of contacting this person when he came to me on his own.

At the same time, the other two wicked servants failed to stop the female kidnapper and were overtaken by her.

"Here's your money back! I'm taking them both with me!"

Before Fan Dongping could react, the other kidnappers rushed over, trying to persuade the female kidnapper while dragging her away.

"Girl, listen to me, let's go. We've already done our best, this money is what we deserve!"

"Yes, we just take money and do things for people."

"Everyone has their own destiny. These two girls are destined to be this way. Anyway, we haven't done anything to them. You don't owe them anything, so why feel guilty?"

The female kidnapper struggled and resisted, and in the midst of the chaos, San'er pointed at Gu Xixi with delight and shouted:

"It was her! It was her who gave us the drug! That strange drug that made us unable to move!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Xixi.

The female kidnapper was stunned; had she been tricked after all?

San'er repeated confidently, "I heard her accomplices call her Boss Gu!"

Fan Dongping grinned maliciously and extended his claws towards Gu Xixi.

Just then, the kidnapper leader sniffed and asked, "Can you smell something?"

The other kidnappers and the evil servants of the Fan family also took a sniff.

"It has some kind of smell."

"It smells like medicine, doesn't it?"

While everyone was still trying to figure out the source of the smell, San'er's expression slowly changed.

One is born, the second is cooked.

This déjà vu, nightmare-like feeling is...

"Medicine, medicine, medicine..."

He pointed at Gu Xixi, his expression more pained than tears, "She...she...again and again and again..."

Fan Dongping turned his head and said impatiently, "What do you mean 'again'? You're useless! Your leg is lame but your tongue isn't broken, can't you even speak clearly now!"

He saw San'er's eyes suddenly widen, and before he could react, he was hit by Gu Xixi's full-force kick to the chest!

Fan Dongping cried out in pain, clutching his chest and rolling on the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment, Gu Xixi pounced on Dou Rongshan, hugging her and rolling several feet away along the ground.

Then, a small pill was extracted from the mechanism inside the ring and placed into Dou Rongshan's mouth.

"Swallow it if you don't want to die."
