Chu Mo could picture Ji Nanshu's expression right now: eyes wide, phone thrown on the bed, glaring angrily at the phone—it must be incredibly cute!
Thinking of this, Chu Mo couldn't help but smile, and sent three messages to Ji Nanshu on WeChat.
Then he dialed Yun Sheng's number.
After hanging up the video call, Ji Nanshu angrily threw her phone on the bed and glared at it.
Attracting bees and butterflies! Flirting with women! Causing trouble...
The phone rang.
A message has come in.
Ji Nanshu pursed his lips, glanced at his phone, and picked it up with a cold snort. He wasn't calm at all! He was furious!
It was a WeChat message from Chu Mo, three messages in total. He opened them and read them.
First: [Sweetie, I'll have Yun Sheng pick you up tomorrow.]
Second: [Sweetie, that guy named Burns is so annoying, can you help me get rid of him?]
Third: [Goodnight, sweetie.]
Ha, don't think that will stop him from being angry!
After putting down his phone, Ji Nanshu looked towards the direction of the back mountain of Huaining Village.
Oh, a little mouse has gone in.
They never learn their lesson. Hopefully, they'll enjoy the "big gift" he left there before!
The next morning, Ji Xingyu casually shook hands with Shu Cheng and appeared before everyone.
Pei Huai and You Shiyan's eyes gleamed with gossip. Good heavens, did Ji Xingyu suddenly get a brain fart or something?
Chen Anbang and Si Dai secretly gave Shu Cheng a thumbs up. Great job, Captain! He finally managed to handle that blockhead Ji Xingyu!
Xu Yongnian, Ding Huarong, and Wu Rushuang:... Don't you guys remember you came here on a mission, not to date?!
Ding Huarong clutched her chest, tugging at Xu Yongnian, and said, "Captain, remember to pay me compensation for emotional distress when we get back... My single heart can't take such a sweet blow. I feel like I can't breathe, ah--"
Xu Yongnian pushed Ding Huarong away expressionlessly, kicked him in the butt, and said coldly, "Get out! I don't like men!"
Ji Xingyu glanced around the hall and asked, "Hasn't Nanshu gotten up yet?"
Just as Si Dai was about to say no, she saw the door not far away open.
Ji Nanshu yawned and greeted, "Good morning. What are you all doing gathered here?"
" Nanshu, good morning." Shu Cheng's smile looked especially radiant today.
Noticing the change in how Shu Cheng addressed him, Ji Nanshu raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and simply asked, " Captain Shu, I'm hungry."
Hmm... in a sense, this is his second sister-in-law, so finding her shouldn't be the wrong thing to do, right?
Shu Cheng felt his ears burning under Ji Nanshu's gaze, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Well, there's a small restaurant in the village, let's eat there."
Shu Cheng, who had a deep conversation with Ji Xingyu yesterday, now knows that Ji Nanshu is Ji Xingyu's youngest brother who was abducted nineteen years ago and whose whereabouts are unknown. So... the way he addresses him will naturally have to change.
"Good."
After the group finished eating, Ji Nanshu prepared to visit Xu Xiu's grave again.
Ji Xingyu: "Yao... Nanshu, what are you doing going to Xu Xiu's grave?"
"I left something there. Shall we go take a look?"
Needless to say, Shu Cheng and Ji Xingyu would definitely go with them. Although the others didn't understand, they all agreed that they would go wherever the big boss went!
So the group of ten returned to Xu Xiu's grave.
The crowd stared at the two sculptures before them, lost in thought.
What are these things? Who moved two statues here in the middle of the night? And why are they so bizarrely designed?
Even if it's performance art, shouldn't it be done in a big city? Who can understand it in this run-down place?
Shu Cheng asked, " Nanshu, did you do this?"
"Hmm, Petrification Talisman." Ji Nanshu patted his backpack, took out a stack of talismans, and handed them to Shu Cheng. "Do you want some?"
A faint blush began to rise on Shu Cheng's face again. Could this be the approval from her boyfriend's family?!
Ji Nanshu didn't care what Shu Cheng was thinking at the moment. After stuffing the talisman into Shu Cheng's hand, he raised his hand and cast the "Binding" spell, then stepped forward and removed the talismans from behind the two stone statues.
After the lid was lifted, the two men fell to the ground with a thud. They were young men, around thirty years old.
Then a sword was placed against the neck of one of them; it was Pei Huai and Ding Huarong.
Ji Nanshu squatted down. "Hmm? From the Blood God Cult?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yongnian and his companions tensed up instantly. Was this another incident orchestrated by the Blood God Cult?!
One of the short, fat men looked like he was saying, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Another skinny man spat and said menacingly, "You lot, let us go right now! Or you'll regret it!"
Ji Nanshu scoffed, "You Blood God Cult members are as arrogant as ever, and as always... you like to do these shady things like rats."
"With so much useless stuff going in, it's no wonder they can't accomplish anything."
"Releasing you isn't out of the question, but how about we tell you what you're going to do with the Yin energy you're collecting?"
The short, fat man. "Pah! We can use it however we want! What's it to you?"
Do you think these people are qualified to know anything about their Blood God Cult?!
Ji Nanshu was too lazy to waste words with them; since they weren't going to talk, there was no point in arguing.
" Captain Shu, these two are yours." Ji Nanshu stood up. "Your relevant departments should have a way to get them to talk."
Upon hearing the words "relevant departments," the two men on the ground scrambled to their feet, attempting to break free of the "binding" and escape. The Blood God's great cause could not afford to be disrupted because of the two of them!
Unfortunately, even the Brain-Devouring Gu King couldn't break through, so how could these two people who are only at the first level of the Acquired Realm possibly escape?
So the group went to Wang Chuan's house to take Xu Xiu in, and then prepared to return to the Imperial Capital with the two of them.
As for the village chief and his son, and the many men who were forced to undergo sterilization... may they remain infertile and have many children and grandchildren!
At the entrance of Huaining Village, there was a small open space. As soon as the group stepped out, they saw a helicopter parked not far away. Upon seeing Ji Nanshu and his group, the helicopter sped towards them.
Sigh, just a little overdoing it.
