Chapter 762: Inviting the Guest into the Urn, but Failing to Catch the Turtle

The two suddenly stopped arguing, but instead of going home after leaving the airport, they found a hotel nearby to stay in.

Those people did not know what medicine the couple was selling in their gourd, but in Jiangzhou, they did not dare to act rashly.

The leader of the group sent a message to that person, but receiving no response, he called his boss for instructions.

The boss's tone was extremely impatient: "Why are you dawdling and asking about such a small matter over and over again? What is there to ask? Just handle it yourselves!"

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The call was hung up before he could finish speaking.

Fine, since neither of them cares, then they will just have to handle it themselves.

……

Three days later, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan finally left the hotel, and the group immediately followed.

Marsh.

The couple did not bring anyone else, going to the empty Swamp all by themselves.

The two held hands, neither speaking, as they walked deep into the Swamp, the surroundings becoming more and more desolate the further they went.

Apart from the occasional bird flying overhead, there was absolutely no one here.

But there were people following behind them, about three or four of them.

The two pretended not to notice, walking faster and faster.

The people following behind also followed faster and faster; now they no longer needed to hide, and they couldn't hide even if they wanted to.

The couple started to run, and the people following behind started to run as well.

Suddenly, the couple disappeared!

"Where are the people?"

The group ran panting to the place where the two had vanished, looking all around, but there was no one there.

Could they have seen a ghost in broad daylight?

They were clearly right in front of them, so how could they just disappear like that?

The leader, Daobalian, was furious, while the others dared not make a sound, acting timid and cautious.

"D-Dao, Brother Dao, this place is eerie, we should go back." Someone was the first to want to retreat.

"Slap!"

Daobalian gave him a fierce slap on the head, eyes wide as he scolded: "Go back where? Go back to where?"

"Useless things, stop the nonsense, hurry up and find them. We've already followed them this far; if we lose them now, we'll all lose our lives when we go back."

"Search, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must dig those two out for me."

The idea was nice, but reality was not like that.

Before the group could even dig three feet into the ground, twenty-some people suddenly appeared around them, surrounding them tightly.

"Ah?!"

Not to mention his subordinates, even Daobalian was scared now.

Where did these people pop out from?

Could it be that this place really is eerie?

Lao Qi had led his men to set a net in the Swamp, just waiting for them to enter; not a single one escaped, and they were all captured.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan stood hand in hand in front of them, and only then did they realize they had been tricked!

Daobalian said bitterly: "You discovered us a long time ago, didn't you? You two have been acting this whole way, right?"

Shi Youxuan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Smart, guessed it right on the first try, that's exactly how it is."

His face turned ashen, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his cheeks, regretting his actions in his heart.

It's over.

There is the death penalty in Jiangzhou law; given the things he had done in the past, he might have had a way out if caught in other countries, but it would be very difficult here.

He really shouldn't have followed his current boss for money in the first place; money is important, yes, but you have to be alive to spend it.

Sheng Hanyu saw exactly what Daobalian was thinking without showing any emotion.

He said nonchalantly: "Someone ordered you to do this, right? You didn't do anything to us, and following us doesn't seem like a big deal; the roads of the world aren't owned by my family, anyone can walk on them."

"Yes, yes, yes."

While Daobalian was still stunned, his subordinate had already reacted and hurriedly agreed.

"You are right, that is exactly how it is."

"Please let us go, I will tell you whatever you want to know, as long as you spare us. We are just people in the jianghu, unable to control our own fates..."

"I have an eighty-year-old mother above, a three-year-old child below, and a beautiful wife; please have pity on me. If I'm not around, my family will be too pitiful."

"My mother will have no one to care for her, my child will have no one to raise him, and my wife will have to remarry if she can't survive... My mother will only be starved to death, and by then there will be other men living in my house, sleeping with my wife, spending my money, and beating my child... Wuwu!"

The man started off glib, but by the end, he was likely expressing his true feelings, covering his face with both hands and wailing, looking truly miserable.

"Shut up, you useless piece of trash."

Daobalian only knew he was usually a chatterbox, but he never expected him to be such a coward.

However, this method was effective!

Shi Youxuan looked at her husband and pleaded for the man: "Let him go, he is too pitiful."

"Fine, you're the boss." Sheng Hanyu was very easygoing and agreed immediately.

Daobalian: ……

He was a bit confused; was it really that easy?

Facts proved that some things were indeed not that complicated.

The "chatterbox" was let go, and as he left, he thanked them profusely and even showed off to the others: "Brothers, I'll go first, I'll wait for you back home."

"I have something to say."

"I also have something to say..."

Daobalian was still able to keep his composure, but his subordinates did not have such good patience.

Everyone scrambled to confess, fearing that if they spoke too late, they wouldn't be able to leave Jiangzhou.

Sheng Hanyu looked at the documents in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

With the lie detector monitoring them, the few people were indeed not lying; they were telling the truth.

But it was precisely because of this that he was unhappy!

The reason was very simple.

He and his wife had gone to great lengths, traveling thousands of miles from the Ji Family to Jiangzhou to set up such a big trap, yet the "big fish" they caught was not Zhu Yiwen.

Their boss was—Tujiu!

This codename was not unfamiliar.

Back then in L Country, when Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu were attending Shi Ran's parent-child summer camp, Feiying kidnapped the kindergarten parents and children as hostages just to save Tujiu!

Tujiu and Feiying were sworn brothers.

They had a bond forged in life-and-death situations.

Tujiu's mind was not as meticulous as Feiying's, but he was more ferocious, never leaving himself a way out when doing things, and even less likely to leave any survivors.

This person was more dangerous, and Sheng Hanyu was very unwilling to have any connection with him.

But many things do not shift according to human will.

What you are unwilling to happen often happens more easily!

Now that the nightmare had come true, they could only use their wits.

Zhu Yiwen had made contact with Tujiu again, and these two people together were even more dangerous.

A certain Island.

The scenery here was beautiful; it was the best place for a vacation.

Inside an elegant little Villa, a man standing at least two meters tall was exceptionally irritable!

"Bang!"

"Clap!"

"Clatter—"

He kept pouring alcohol into his mouth.

Every time he finished a glass, he would smash the glass in his hand.

The terrified Servant behind him hurriedly brought a new glass and poured the wine; otherwise, it was uncertain who would be smashed in the next second.

The floor was covered in broken glass, but the man felt increasingly bored.

At this moment, the one who brought the glass was a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, dressed in revealing clothes.

Her large eyes frequently cast flirtatious glances, and the man stared straight at her.

His eyes glowed as he stared at the beauty for a full ten seconds, then ordered: "Take off your Spring Shoes and step on it!"

"No, Boss, spare me!"

"This is all covered in glass shards; if I step on it... my feet will be ruined. Please, I beg you, don't do this..." The beauty was scared out of her wits, crying and begging for mercy.

Her legs were both weak.

But she used her willpower to force herself not to collapse.

Collapsing would be even worse.

"Are you stepping on it or not?"

The man widened his eyes, as if they were about to pop out.
