As she said this, the knife moved slightly. Boss Hua noticed it and quickly told her how to get out.

"...It's that easy to get out, but you definitely can't do it alone. They won't let you go alone."

"Who told you I was leaving alone? I still have you, don't I? If I take you with me, do you think they won't let me go?"

When Lin Cai threatened people with a knife, she never thought about leaving alone. Besides, she didn't even know where she was. Who knew which pit she would fall into if she went out alone?

So the best way is to kidnap someone and make that person follow you, just like we are doing now.

To keep Mr. Hua from following her around, Lin Cai took a rainbow bean from the refrigerator and threw it directly into Mr. Hua's mouth.

That was a snack she had snatched for herself, afraid it would melt in the hot weather, so she put it in the refrigerator. She never expected it would be so useful now.

After eating the rainbow beans, the shop owner covered his mouth and looked at Lin Cai in horror: "What did you give me to eat?"

"This poison is so potent it will rot your guts, and it only lasts for one month. No one in the world but me can cure it."

"Of course you don't have to believe me, but if you die a month later, don't blame me for lying to you."

Lin Cai spoke so nonchalantly, as if she wasn't the one who had just done something wrong at all.

Boss Hua had never heard of such a poison before. She knew what "death by contact with blood" meant and thought that the most potent poison was probably arsenic.

But that thing would kill you instantly if you ate it, and the woman had just given it to him with a one-month shelf life, which Mr. Hua didn't believe.

Seeing her disbelieving look, Lin Cai told her to pinch the web between her thumb and index finger of her left hand with her right hand. If it hurt, then she was probably poisoned.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the woman did exactly as she was told, and then Lin Cai saw her with tears streaming down her face.

"You madman, you madman, how could you do this? I just had you brought here and let you go hungry for a meal, but I didn't do anything to you. How could you harm me?"

"Didn't you do anything to me? I was just walking down the street when you dragged me here, locked me up for an entire afternoon for no reason, and I even went hungry."

"If I were home, I would be resting by now. Why would I need to talk to you here?"

Anyway, you've delayed my journey home, my meals, and my sleep and dreams. Since you've caused me so much trouble, don't blame me for being rude to you.

Boss Hua was speechless, because she had indeed done these things. Then she looked at Lin Cai with a bitter face: "Aren't you going back now?"

Why do I have to give myself the medicine when we're already going back?!

Lin Cai walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and lay down: "Who told you I was going back? There's a bed and a quilt here, can't I just sleep here?"

She just ate an apple and isn't very hungry yet. She should be just right after a nap.

On the other side, Lin Long's men searched every possible, appropriate, and even inappropriate place.

They couldn't find it. Back at their lodgings, he pulled Lin Bao aside again: "Tell me everything that has happened recently, down to the smallest detail."

Lin Bao dared not hide anything and told everything he knew, until his voice died at the end.

"So you mean you didn't control your mouth and accidentally said the wrong thing, and your little sister got angry with you and told you not to follow her anymore, and then you lost her."

"Big brother, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I just forgot for a moment, so I misspoke..."

"Lin Bao!! How many times have I told you to shut your mouth? You've been ignoring me, haven't you?"

"Let me tell you, if anything happens to my little sister, I'll kill you."

Hearing this, Lin Bao felt a chill run down his spine. It was true, it was true, he was picked up from the mountain. The Lin family's younger brothers were worthless because they were all picked up from the mountain.

Gu Zhan didn't go looking for Lin Long. He took advantage of the night to go to an inn, and as soon as he entered, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Hearing the noise, the person outside opened the door, came in, bowed respectfully, and handed a letter to Gu Zhan.

Standing by the window, Gu Zhan finished reading the letter and placed it on the candle flame. Only after the letter had completely burned did he read out a name.

"Zhao Li."

Meanwhile, in a room at the Yichun Courtyard, Zhao Li, dressed in undergarments, was embracing two beauties on his left and right.

There was a beautiful woman pouring wine in front of him, and a glass of wine was immediately brought to his lips. There were people playing the piano nearby and dancing in front of him. The whole room was incredibly lively.

There was a knocking sound at the door. Zhao Li waved his hand, and a man in black opened the door and walked in.

At the same time, all the women, carrying their belongings, swayed as they walked out and closed the door.

The man in black came to the center, and Zhao Li beckoned to him. Immediately afterwards, the man in black knelt down in front of him.

"Speak, what did you find?"

"There's no one in Gujia Village, no one in the town, only on the west side of East Street."

"Oh, so you've come looking for me. You're back so quickly, did you see someone?"

Zhao Li removed the mask from the man in black, lifted his chin with his hand, and saw a black tattoo on the man's right cheek. Zhao Li rubbed it a few times.

Feeling the pressure on his face, the man in black clenched his fists, but had to answer respectfully, "He was taken away by a group of women."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Li stopped: "They were taken away by a group of women?"

He squinted and didn't speak, but after a while he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, good, good, really good!"

"Have someone keep an eye on them. I need to know their every move, including what they're doing on East Street."

The man in black responded with a "yes," then stood up and left. Before opening the door, he put his mask back on. Once outside, he transformed back into the cold-blooded, ruthless, and expressionless man in black.

Lin Cai slept comfortably all night, but Boss Hua wasn't so comfortable because there was only one bed in the room, which Lin Cai had to occupy all by herself.

Boss Hua had to find a place to sleep by herself. She searched and searched and found the carpet, because it was the only warm spot.

To avoid getting sick from the cold, Mr. Hua, who hadn't been this disheveled in decades, slept on the carpet all night. When he woke up the next day, his whole body ached, as if he had been beaten up.
