Chapter 1795 - 1790: Secret Schemes of Each Party

"Of course!"

After agreeing, Cao Ya quickly walked forward!

The two henchmen glanced at the slightly eager Cao Ya, took a deep breath, and quickly followed him.

After they walked away, Jing looked at the others and softly said, "Alright, now we have someone to lead the way! Let’s catch up quickly."

Jing was in a good mood at this moment...

Because someone had solved her problem.

Before, Jing was still troubled about what to do...

Then she ran into a few enthusiastic people, and she felt really good...

She knew these people might have other ideas, but that didn’t matter because Jing felt everything was under control.

Hearing Jing’s urging, they hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Jing, these people don’t seem like good sorts. We need to be careful!"

"True!"

They used to be assassins and had come across many types of people.

So they could tell at a glance that these were not easygoing people.

In this situation, they naturally had to remind Jing not to let things go south.

Jing heard their serious reminder, smiled lightly, and said calmly, "Don’t worry too much, besides, if they’re not good sorts, are we?"

"That’s true!"

They thought for a moment and laughed...

As assassins, over the years they had completed many tasks, so naturally, they were not ordinary good sorts themselves.

So if things really got ugly, who might end up on their knees begging for mercy was still uncertain.

Seeing them all laugh, Jing gently spoke again, "And we also have my brother-in-law. If they really dare to mess with us, we can just let them find the death they’re asking for."

"Indeed!"

Seeing them thoroughly regain composure, Jing clapped her hands again, "Alright, let’s go. If we don’t catch up soon, they’ll notice something’s wrong!"

"Okay!"

With that, they exchanged smiles and quickly chased after Cao Ya and the others.

...

"Big brother, those women seem pretty vigilant!"

"Yeah, big brother!"

The two people beside Cao Ya spoke in hushed tones.

They were worldly-wise people, so at a glance, they could see that those people were full of caution towards them.

Hearing their words, Cao Ya chuckled lightly and said, "Isn’t it normal for them to be vigilant? If you suddenly ran into three strangers in the forest, wouldn’t you be nervous?"

"This... that’s true!"

They thought about it and slowly nodded!

Looking at them again, Cao Ya spoke in a deep and persuasive tone, "Tension and vigilance are small matters. As long as they are willing to follow us, things will be easy to resolve. Women admire the strong, you should know that, right?"

"We know!"

"Exactly! As long as we show a strong side, they will soon admire us. Once they admire us, the rest will be easy!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

They exchanged glances, full of excitement...

Cao Ya was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment.

Because encountering these beautiful women during this mission was simply an unexpected bonus.

...

"Xiaobei and the others should have finished shopping by now! I wonder when they’ll be back!"

In the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei, who was brewing tea, sounded a little nervous as she looked over at her and said softly, "No need to worry, right? Neither Xiaobei nor the others are kids anymore, so they should know how to get back."

Lin Ya, hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "You’re so calm because you don’t know them. Their sense of direction is not great, especially Jing, hers is the worst."

"Bad sense of direction? How did she carry out tasks before then?"

Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya in surprise.

To Hu Xiaobei, someone with a poor sense of direction shouldn’t be able to carry out tasks, as the targets in different missions aren’t always in the same place, so a good sense of direction is genuinely necessary to find them.

"Before, I would take her to the place!"

"Whoa, such an operation exists?"

Lin Ya looked completely stunned...

Lin Ya was really shocked by this, because such an approach was truly something Hu Xiaobei hadn’t anticipated.

"It’s precisely because of this arrangement that I was worried before!"

"In that case, if they don’t come back in a while, let’s have everyone help us search for them."

"Mm!"

Seeing Lin Ya nod, Hu Xiaobei lightly smiled and said, "Alright, come over and have a nice cup of tea, let’s wait a bit. I have a feeling they’ll be back soon."

"Oh, I’ve only heard that women have a sixth sense; I didn’t know you had one too!"

"Are you teasing me?"

"What do you think!"

With a playful smile, she looked at Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei couldn’t help but think about the previous flirtatious moments when he saw her charming demeanor again.

In an instant, Hu Xiaobei felt a bit restless again.

But Hu Xiaobei knew it wasn’t the right time now, so he could only suppress this urge in his heart.

After coughing once, Hu Xiaobei started chatting with her again...

Lin Ya noticed Hu Xiaobei’s awkwardness, but she didn’t point it out. Instead, she continued chatting about other topics with Hu Xiaobei openly.

At this moment, Cao Meng and the Great Elder were sitting together, looking at each other with complicated expressions.

Before, they were each serving their own interests, but now, they knew they had to compete against each other.

"Great Elder, I know we’ve had some issues between us before, but now, I think we should put everything aside. After all, we’re all stuck now, don’t you agree?"

Hearing Cao Meng’s words, he gave Cao Meng a few deep looks!

He understood Cao Meng, knowing he was petty and wouldn’t truly open his heart to him.

Now, saying this might also be a ploy to gain his trust.

He believed that if needed, this Cao Meng, who was now being friendly, would surely stab him in the back.

With these thoughts clear, the Great Elder smiled lightly and said, "Indeed, we had some misunderstandings before, but now we should put them aside."

Over the years, the Great Elder had experienced a lot.

So, he was one who showed no emotion on his face.

As such, he had no intention of tearing down his facade now, but rather continued to feign agreement.

In his view, mutual vigilance was good and could help avoid making mistakes.

Because mistakes in such situations could have terrifying consequences.

"This old fox didn’t show any unusual expressions at all. It seems I’m not the only one who’s guarded!"

Hearing the Great Elder’s response, Cao Meng cursed inwardly and said softly, "Right, from now on, we’ll put aside all misunderstandings!"

As he spoke, Cao Meng extended his hand...
