Wang Cheng saw the coachman frozen in place and assumed she was preparing some powerful move.

A minute passed, and the driver was still standing there, a pained expression gradually appearing on his face.

Wang Cheng then realized something was wrong and was about to go down to check when Li Mo'er, having already calmed Shen Ziche down, came out.

She looked at the men outside; they weren't exactly fierce-looking, but their expressions were certainly unfriendly.

The second-in-command saw another person come out and immediately became alert.

"Snapped--"

He swung the whip on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Tell me, how many people are still inside?"

The second-in-command's hands were trembling slightly. If there were a few more people inside, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

"no no……"

Wang Cheng was about to say no when Li Mo'er interrupted him.

“There’s another one inside, my husband.”

Li Mo'er could see that the two sides were vastly different in strength. Moreover, she glanced at the coachman who was frozen in place and had completely lost his fighting ability.

If the other party discovers that you have concealed this from them, it may anger them.

Hearing "my husband" filled Shen Ziche with a sense of security, but the timing wasn't quite right.

The second-in-command regained his confidence upon hearing that there was only one man left.

Pointing the whip at them, he said, "All of you, come out and stand here."

Wang Cheng got off first. As soon as she landed, she knew why the driver had stopped moving. She also had cramps, but she could still walk with difficulty.

Li Mo'er helped Shen Ziche out of the carriage, and the four of them stood together.

The second-in-command watched as Li Mo'er and the others stood in position, then he quietly instructed Xi Gou to have the jewels removed from the carriage.

He planned to exchange these gems for money, enough for them to live on Tiger Head Mountain for more than ten years.

Wang Cheng saw their actions and was about to remind them that the gems were fake.

However, as soon as she moved, they immediately became alert and all pointed their tools at the four of them.

The greyhound finally managed to pry off a gem, but it felt a little off to the touch. He was about to take it to the second-in-command to have a look when he saw it.

But he was close to Wang Cheng and was startled by her, causing the gems to fall to the ground.

He glared angrily at Wang Cheng, pointing the machete at him. "Don't move, or don't blame me for being impolite."

When Li Mo'er saw Xi Gou pick up the knife, she held Shen Ziche's hand and could feel the sweat on his palm. So she quietly moved her body and stood in front of him.

Wang Cheng wanted to speak, but after looking at the tip of the knife in front of him, he nodded instead.

"Second Master, look at this gem."

Seeing that Wang Cheng had become obedient, Xi Gou handed the gemstone to the second-in-command.

He had never seen a real gemstone before, but he could tell by touch that the surface was pitted and uneven, and it didn't look real at all.

The second-in-command took the gem and immediately knew it was fake, which made him furious.

"Fine, you dare to try to fool us with fake gems. In that case, take them to Tiger Head Mountain."

The second-in-command waved his hand and walked forward without looking back.

Wang Cheng looked helpless. They hadn't said it was true, so how could they be lying to them? Besides, she had just tried to remind them, but they wouldn't let her say it.

"Second Master, why are you bringing them back to Tiger Head Mountain?"

The greyhound asked from the side, "There have never been any women in Tiger Head Mountain."

The second-in-command rolled his eyes at Xi Gou. "Of course, it's for the first-in-command to handle." He glanced back at the carriage and muttered, "A wedding carriage, and they even use fake gemstones."

The greyhound's eyes darted around. "Second Master, since you and the First Master aren't married yet, and there are three women this time, why don't you..."

Upon hearing this, the second-in-command slapped Xi Gou on the head, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to get married."

He grew up in a family where his mother was abusive towards his father, and he was often beaten as a child, so he always disliked women and didn't want to get married.

Then, he stroked his chin. But the boss should be able to accept it. Anyway, it's already been brought back, so let the boss see it for himself.

But he still frowned curiously and looked back at the three women.

"Second-in-command, the one at the very front, that one is the strongest."

Xigou pointed at Wang Cheng, introducing him to the second-in-command.

The second-in-command looked at it carefully and then slapped the dog again.

"Are you looking for death? Didn't you see that woman has a physical disability and can't even walk steadily?"

At this moment, Wang Cheng, who was limping due to cramps, had no idea that it was because of this that she had escaped a disaster.

"Then the one over there?"

Xi Gou pointed at the coachman again. Anyway, he looked down on Li Mo'er. She was too thin and weak and was not worthy of the boss at all.

By this time, the driver had recovered and quickly subdued the man in front of him.

"Release us right now..."

"boom--"

A man with a shovel behind him reacted quickly and slapped the driver on the back.

And so, the coachman fainted, looking quite radiant.

Li Mo'er's eyelids twitched as she watched. From that quick step just now, she could tell that the coachman had some skill, but his mind wasn't very quick.

The second-in-command turned around and just happened to see the driver being subdued.

He turned around to slap the driver, but when the dog saw that the driver had been knocked unconscious, it immediately covered its head with its hands.

"Snapped--"

It was a crisp sound as the greyhound's hand precisely protected the spot the second-in-command was about to strike.

The greyhound chuckled, "Don't be angry, Second Master, there's still one left."

The second-in-command rolled his eyes and said, "Find someone to bring that big oaf back to Tiger Head Mountain. Let the leader decide on that."

"Huh? Take it back?"

The greyhound scratched his head. There were only a few of them, but if they were to carry this big, clumsy guy, it would take two or three people.

"boom--"

This time, the second-in-command hit Greyhound's head with pinpoint accuracy.

"Isn't there a carriage? Bring it up."

The second-in-command sighed, realizing he'd have to ask the first-in-command if he could stop letting Greyhound follow him.

He was afraid that the greyhound would drive him to his death.

Apart from this minor incident, the group arrived at Tiger Head Mountain safely.

Li Mo'er stared at the plaque above the village; she guessed it read "Tiger Head Mountain."

Throughout the journey, Li Mo'er kept observing her surroundings, thinking that she could use this information when she escaped.

"Come on!"

Li Mo'er was holding Shen Ziche's hand when they stopped at the entrance of the village. Suddenly, someone behind them pushed Shen Ziche, and he almost fell.

She has been very obedient since she was arrested, trying to make them think that she is not a threat and will not resist them.

She knew that instead of resisting in vain now, it would be better to wait until they lowered their guard and then escape in one fell swoop.

But now that they dare to hurt Shen Ziche, she no longer needs to be polite.

She shielded Shen Ziche behind her and kicked the person who had just pushed him.

She used all her strength in that kick, and the man staggered backward before finally collapsing to the ground.

Li Mo'er's eyes were fierce. "Just because I'm not moving doesn't mean I'm easy to bully. If you dare to touch him again, I will make you all pay the price."
