Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Boss, what are you laughing at?" Old Nine asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that this guy..." Lu Yunshi's smile faded. "I'm afraid his real intentions are not what they seem."

"Huh?" Old Nine blinked. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Go and call Fifth Sister over. Let her handle this. I won't get involved," Lu Yunshi said calmly.

"Boss, aren't you going to step in? What if Zhao Dali makes a move?"

"I won't take action. You can go ahead and do it. There's plenty of time. I'll stay here. If there's a real problem, I'll take action then."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi simply walked to a spot not far away and squatted down quietly.

Seeing that Lu Yunshi had said so, Lao Jiu had no choice but to do as Lu Yunshi said, even though he was worried.

The ninth brother was gone for ten minutes, a full ten minutes, and everyone inside and outside the eighth brother's house remained motionless.

Old Ba's legs were almost numb from being forced to stare at Zhao Dali the whole time, but he didn't see the other party make any moves. He didn't dare to make any rash moves, and could only curse the other party as an idiot in his heart.

Soon, another ten minutes passed before Lao Jiu finally arrived, followed by more than twenty people.

A group of twice the number of people as Zhao Dali surrounded them, and a woman at the back of the group stepped through the encirclement and walked up to the two of them in a few steps.

"What? You want to cause trouble for my people?"

The woman had a pretty face, a high ponytail, and was also dressed in elementary school clothes. At this moment, she crossed her arms and narrowed her long eyes slightly, seemingly not taking Zhao Dali seriously.

"Your people?" Upon seeing the woman, Zhao Dali finally reacted. His gaze darted back and forth between Lao Ba and the woman several times before he slowly retreated.

"He's actually one of your men? Li Hongying, that's quite unexpected."

"Don't you dare play dumb with me on my turf. If you have nothing to do, get the hell out of here, or... let's have a real fight right here?"

Li Hongying showed no politeness and continued to stare aggressively into Zhao Dali's eyes. Zhao Dali seemed to be wary of Li Hongying's strength, or perhaps he had thought of something else and seemed to have lost the idea of ​​staying. However, before leaving, Zhao Dali stared at Lao Ba and Li Hongying and said something as if he were making a threat.

"Just you wait! This isn't over yet."

After saying this, Zhao Dali immediately led his men away from the place, and Lao Jiu's mind went blank at the sight.

"No, that's it? He doesn't want the earthworm ginseng anymore?"

“If he could, he would certainly want it, but his goal isn’t the earthworm ginseng,” said Lu Yunshi, who had appeared beside him at some point.

"What does he want?"

"Boss, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!!!"

Before Lu Yunshi could answer Lao Jiu's question, Li Hongying jogged over to Lu Yunshi and then leaped onto him.

"If I remember correctly, we just met yesterday. And with all that strength, you don't want me to die, you want me to be dead, do you?"

With a flushed face, Lu Yunshi pulled Li Hongying off, took a couple of breaths, tilted his head, and walked towards his home.

"Come to my place and tell me about what happened today."

Half an hour later, after learning the whole story from Lao Ba, Lu Yunshi remained silent for a while and then suddenly asked a question.

Has Zhao Dali been in contact with anyone recently?

As soon as Lu Yunshi asked the question, Lao Jiu chimed in, "For intelligence matters like this, you should ask Lao Qi, not us three. It's no use asking us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the eighth brother slapped the ninth brother on the back of the head. "You need to show more respect to the eldest brother, stop being so carefree."

The ninth brother, clutching the back of his head, pursed his lips. There were ten of them in total, and the eighth brother was his own brother. He dared not resist at all and could only mutter to himself.

"Besides you, there aren't many of us who respect the boss on the surface."

"What did you say?" Old Eight's eyes narrowed, and he instantly raised his hand to slap.

"Alright! Alright! Isn't Lao Jiu always like this?" Seeing the two brothers bickering like this, Lu Yunshi chuckled and stopped them, speaking at the same time.

"As everyone should know, in the past, both Lao Ba and I were invisible among the elementary students. Nobody cared about us, and even when it came to competing for resources, they didn't take us seriously."

"Boss, you're not some nobody, you're a celebrity."

The ninth brother suddenly chimed in, causing Lu Yunshi's lips to tremble. After hesitating for two seconds, he looked at the eighth brother.

"let's hit!"

Only after confirming that Lao Ba's iron fist had sealed Lao Jiu's foul mouth did Lu Yunshi speak again.

"Zhao Dali suddenly came to our door today, and he specifically sought out Lao Ba. I suspect he has someone behind him. This person knows quite a bit about us, and even knows that Lao Ba has someone behind him."

"What earthworm ginseng? It's probably just an excuse. The real purpose is to force the person behind Lao Ba to come out."

"Zhao Dali and Lao Ba stared at each other but did nothing today, which was precisely to tell us that 'he'... has his eye on me. This is a warning to me."

"Someone? Who would notice us?" Lao Ba frowned, completely baffled. Their invisible group should be extremely well-hidden.

Only Li Hongying, the fifth oldest, stands out because she is the leader of the group, but even Li Hongying is very careful to hide her relationship with Lu Yunshi and others.

More importantly, Zhao Dali is already among the top students. If someone wants to order Zhao Dali to do these things, then that person's identity might be... on the mountain.

Thinking of this, Lao Ba suddenly felt a little nervous.

If it's just among the elementary students, he's not afraid at all, but if the trouble comes from the mountain, then it's hard to say.

Unlike Lao Ba's confusion and tension, Lu Yunshi seemed not to care much about it, and even laughed twice with ease.

"Yes, I'm also very curious about who it is, so let's find out where we've been hiding our secrets."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi clapped his hands, ending the topic.

"Alright, now that we've finished talking about this, let's talk about something else, Lao Ba!"

"Huh? What's wrong, boss?" Lao Ba asked.

"You got the earthworm ginseng, right?" Lu Yunshi asked.

Lao Ba nodded without hesitation. "That's right, we found it in the mountains a few days ago. We were pretty lucky."

“Hmm…” Lu Yunshi nodded slightly, then continued, “Then, I wonder if you would be willing to give this earth dragon ginseng to Fifth Sister? I plan to let her go up the mountain for her next promotion exam.”

"Huh?" x3

Hearing Lu Yunshi's words, all three of them were startled, not because of the matter of sending the earth dragon ginseng, but because of the matter of sending Li Hongying up the mountain.

"Of course!"

"congratulations!"

"I do not want it!"

Soon, the three gave completely different reactions.
