Chapter 214: The Boss I didn't quite understand, so I asked him to elaborate. Qian Deli coughed twice, glanced toward the door, and lowered his voice. "I used to do business and made some friends around here. While we were drinking, I heard them say that in villages nestled against the mountains like this, you have to lock your doors and windows tight once winter hits. No matter what noise you hear at night, you can't open the door. That's because the noise likely isn't made by a person, but most…-

Chapter 215: Ill Intentions The moment he spoke, those were his first words. It caught me off guard. I immediately looked at the bridle he was holding and noticed that the spiked construction seemed to be the same as the ones hidden on Lu Ayao's white whip. The man had a calm expression and a light, agile posture, looking like a trained martial artist. His hair hadn't been cut in a while; it was long, and to keep it from interfering with his movements, some of the loose strands had been braided. He…

Chapter 216: The Factory I was stunned that he would say such a thing right to my face, and for a moment, I was at a loss for words. Lu Qianshan's voice wasn't loud, but the place was deathly quiet. It was clear this man was hell-bent on humiliating me in front of everyone. However, I wasn't someone who cared excessively about saving face. If it had been He Yu, he would have definitely traded three hundred rounds of insults with him. Sitting beside me, Old Qian heard it and wanted to step in to…

Chapter 207: Surveillance My family's ancestral home sits outside the county seat. It has no heating, and in the winter, once the snow falls, the chill seeps up from the ground. Not to mention, the place has been uninhabited for a long time. I was kneeling on a tattered prayer mat in front of the altar, surrounded by eight men. They weren't all Gan Rong's people; some had been sent by other Pankou specifically to keep an eye on me, fearing I might slip away if they looked the other way for even a…

Chapter 209: Qian Deli The newcomer was tall and thin, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose—the kind of spectacles traveling fortune tellers used to wear in the old days. He strode through the door with a cigarette dangling arrogantly from his lips, took a deep drag, and exhaled a massive cloud. I couldn't tell what he was smoking, but the smell was pungent, sending several of my shop hands stumbling back. I had never seen him before, so naturally, I didn't give…

Chapter 210: The Escape Qian Deli hesitated for a second after listening to me. He looked around cautiously and leaned forward. He Yu and I leaned in with him, and then Qian Deli whispered, "You two are smart people. You should understand the situation you're in, right?" He Yu and I exchanged a knowing look. Just as I was about to speak, Qian Deli shifted the conversation. "Getting a vehicle isn't much of a problem for me. The real issue is how to get to the train station in the city. There's no…

Chapter 211: Snow Country Our three crates were carried out by the shop hands and loaded into the trunk one by one. I lay curled up inside my crate, listening to the movement outside. After a moment, I heard Qian Deli get into the car. He called out a greeting to the workers, then inserted the key, started the engine, and hit the gas. I felt the vehicle slowly pull away. Qian Deli lit a cigarette and took a drag before tapping on He Yu's crate next to mine. "You can all come out now. They can't see…

Chapter 212: Wild Deer Early the next morning, we finished packing our essential supplies. He Yu found a breakfast joint, and the four of us sat around a table eating while chatting idly with the lady running the shop. After listening for a while, I realized He Yu had put quite a bit of thought into picking this place. The proprietress's grandfather had been a logger long ago. Back then, there had been a logging camp deep in the woods of Emu'er Mountain, though after all these years, the camp had…
