I just gave him a talking to, and now he’s sulking on the ground...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tear stains on Ginsengfruit’s face and his round and plump body, the bodyguards’ wariness eased somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran crouched in front of a small crack in the tin house, watching the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had their positions been reversed, she would have complimented these bandits for their prowess; previously, she thought that while these people did bad things, they at least hadn’t killed the ’hostages’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it seemed that these people must have known all along that among their targets were powerful experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had really killed any passersby or the reception center staff, it would have inevitably been a bloody scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bodyguards were definitely battle-hardened individuals; even the slightest scent of blood would make it difficult to deceive them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, these bandits were adept at using an unknowing child to lower the bodyguards’ guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk, nowadays, each and every bandit is a formidable character, setting up a trap early on. Without an inside job, this wouldn’t be possible at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit obediently stood up, having overheard his Host’s muttering, he too was curious about which of those seemingly formidable people was the mole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards watched the curious plump child looking at them, each scanning him in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they remained vigilant, their demeanor was no longer as cold as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You few are in charge of the first half of the night, you others take the second half, and the rest of you, rest up tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one called Doctor Yu had no other objections and went to his second-floor room under the protection of the bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading bodyguard did not rest; after leaving people to guard the doors to Doctor Yu and others’ rooms, he himself went down to inspect the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit observed this man emanating a murderous aura, curious to know if he had noticed anything amiss, especially the cellar in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little friend, what are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ginsengfruit was about to speak, he saw the sinister gaze of the bandit behind the bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Pang, why are you still here bothering the guests’ rest? You’re really asking for a whipping!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the bandit rushed over, attempting to slap Ginsengfruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The façade the bandits had set for themselves now was that of a stern father, especially those who believed in the \"spare the rod, spoil the child\" approach to education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard’s brow furrowed slightly; while he did not agree with hitting children, he was after all just passing by, and it was not appropriate for him to interfere in a father’s discipline of his child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was turn around and go elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandit’s hand tightly pinched the tender flesh inside of Ginsengfruit’s arm, with a force as if intent on tearing off that piece of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you dare to speak out of turn, I will kill your sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit, who had been pretending to be timid and scared, was suddenly annoyed with this façade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his Host not called the police and he not wished to implicate himself in these karmic outcomes, he would have wanted to slap all these people away directly – how annoying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to be weak was novel at first, but too much of it was infuriating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit’s tears gushed down his cheeks, and then, clutching his arm, he went miserably towards a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, the bodyguard went to inspect the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bodyguards, aside from not being able to bear and give birth to children themselves, were proficient in all tasks, cooking included, which was no big deal for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, the meal is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I’ll personally take the meal to Doctor Yu and the others. You all eat quickly and then get some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguard carried the simple meals upstairs, told the colleague who was previously guarding the door to go eat, and then personally stood watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being trapped in the tin house, Yun Ran was well aware of the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing wrong with the food, nor with the drinking water, but their entire group was still calculated against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have expected that not only were these bandits in good spirits and intelligent, but their plotting was absolutely unforeseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nights in the Northwest were cold; just open the air conditioner in the room, and the odorless gas is released, not deadly but enough to weaken one’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for them to be halfway through the night, it would fully affect them, and they would then be like fish on the chopping block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it was about the right time, the bandit motioned to Ginsengfruit and then handed him a small portable stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this small furnace to the uncle guarding the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the small stove, the fuel had been soaked in a special solution; once ignited, the gas naturally dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit took the stove and headed towards the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If adults approached the car, those left-behind bodyguards would certainly be on guard and would even scold them harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was just a child bringing them a stove for warming, so the bodyguards only politely declined: \"No need, little friend, you take the stove back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they did not refuse Ginsengfruit’s approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the police finally arrived, and both Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandits, seeing their fruit of victory about to ripen, were suddenly met with several police cars, and were utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodyguards felt someone approaching, their vigilance immediately heightened, but upon seeing it was police cars...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They subtly stepped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heart of the bandit chief sank, but he quickly steadied his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had selected this location after much deliberation; the nearest police station would take at least three to four hours to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for police to pass by here; the presence of these officers must be a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head bandit immediately stepped forward with a hospitable and helpful demeanor: \"Are you all also looking for lodging? Considering the number of people you have, I’m afraid there aren’t enough rooms left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Police Captain glanced at the person before him; if not for the phone call they’d received, he might even wonder if the reporter was fabricating the story.\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-06T11:48:49.456Z",1,"novelbin.me","1be870af9e9ce96f506cf08aa087430c6b20f516ef77bf13a73def8945fc6cdc","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-283","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-281",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
