Luo Han was speechless when he heard this.
That’s right. No matter what, he admired Luo Cheng.
Xu Wenjing asked, “Mr. Luo, how should we deal with Shatai Village?”
Luo Cheng arranged, “Take everyone from Shatai Village into custody. What you have to do now is interrogate them one by one and get these people to report each other and convict them according to their crimes. Luo Han, you’ll be in charge of bringing people with you. General Xu, bring the remaining people to the underground passage to take a look. Firstly, you’ll save all the women imprisoned in the underground passage, and secondly, you’ll have to pay attention to whether there’s anything hidden in the underground passage!”
Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “By the way, don’t underestimate this underground passage. Su Zheng must have set up some traps. Therefore, your priority is to save the tortured women and explore the underground passage. If the underground passage is dangerous, retreat quickly! Worst case scenario, we’ll get some gunpowder to blow up these places, then the underground passage will naturally be filled up!”
“There’s no need to be so arbitrary. We can arrange for some people to explore these underground tunnels bit by bit. It’s a pity to blow them up just like that!” Xu Wenjing thought of something and said, ‘Mr. Luo, Sichuan needs a lot of herbs and the land here is suitable for planting herbs, so we should make use of it. We’re short of herbs for medicine!”
When Luo Cheng heard Xu Wenjing’s words, he thought for a moment before asking, “Then do you have anyone reliable on your side? Why don’t you station some soldiers here?!”
“Mr. Luo, you mean you want us to take over this place?” Xu Wenjing was flattered!
One had to know that the herb industry was very profitable. Xu Wenjing originally wanted to remind Luo Cheng not to give up on this place, since the conditions here were very good.
Unexpectedly, there was a surprise for him.
“I never joke with you! This place has to be guarded by elite soldiers. I’m worried that the people behind Shatai Village will come and cause trouble! Therefore, stationing your army here is the best solution! As for the underground passage, you can explore it carefully and use it in the future!” Luo Cheng said, “However, there’s a condition. After the herbs in this place are sold, I’ll take 40% of the profit, and you’ll take 60% ”
Xu Wenjing was tempted by Luo Cheng’s words.
‘Mr. Luo, this matter is too big, so can you let me discuss it with my grandfather first?”
Luo Cheng nodded and said, “Sure. Do your job first and wait for your grandfather to recover!”
After everything was arranged, Luo Han and Xu Wenjing went to get busy. At this moment, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue were wandering around Shatai
Village.
Li Xiaoran looked at the mountains in front of her and marveled, “I have to say, the scenery of Shatai Village is very beautiful!”
Shu Ruyue asked Li Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, you seem to like these mountains very much. Why?”
“Because the mountains can help me relax and prevent me from feeling depressed!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.
“Huh?” Shu Ruyue didn’t expect Li Xiaoran’s answer.
Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Shu Ruyue’s dumbfounded expression.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore! Actually, I like mountains because I’m very familiar with the mountains! I’m familiar with the rules of survival here and Imow what I should do to survive in here! To me, living in the mountains is a simple, relaxed, and satisfying thing.”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately understood.
“I know this feeling. It’s just like how I feel when I follow you guys! I feel very comfortable and happy every day when I follow you guys. Even if I encounter troubles and danger, I just feel that I can live a very comfortable life with you guys.”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she immediately laughed.
“You sound like you’re planning to cling to me for the rest of your life!”
“That’s right. I’ll rely on you for the rest of my life. I’ll always be by your side and protect you!” Shu Ruyue nodded and said seriously, “Xiaoran, I have a feeling that if I don’t follow you for the rest of my life, I’ll definitely regret it!” Li Xiaoran didn’t expect Shu Ruyue to say that and she was touched.
“Alright, then let’s be good friends for the rest of our lives! You know my personality. As long as you don’t betray me, I’ll definitely treat you as my friend!”
Shu Ruyue laughed when she heard this.
“Alright, let’s be good friends for the rest of our lives!”
Just like that, the two women each reached out and clasped their hands together.
This simple action helped them establish a lifelong friendship.
Shu Ruyue thought of something and asked, “Xiaoran, do you think we can help those poor women?!”
Li Xiaoran said, “I’m also thinking about this! After such a thing happened to these women, I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for them to survive in society! Even if they return to their previous families, they’ll suffer from slander. If they’re willing, I can provide them with a new life. However, all of this is based on the condition that they’re willing to follow me!”
Shu Ruyue asked again, “Aren’t we going to help those who still have hope in their families and go back, but experienced all kinds of trouble?”
“Since they made the choice, they have to bear the corresponding consequences!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “Let’s see the situation first! Let’s wait until those women are rescued!”
Although Shu Ruyue also pitied those women, there were some things that they couldn’t do as they pleased.
Those women had their own needs and ideas. No one could choose for them.
At the same time, several people were sitting in a very quiet house.
Yu Baifeng, whom Third Master Xue had been looking for, was kneeling in front of a man in a white tiger mask.
“Master, Third Master Xue is being tracked closely now. I had no choice but to lure him to Shatai Village! Master, please punish me for making the decision on my own!”
The man in the white tiger mask kept staring at Yu Baifeng.
“Bai Feng! Are you really unable to get rid of Third Master Xue? Or have you already fallen in love with him?”
When Yu Baifeng heard Third Master Xue’s words, her face turned pale.
“Master, don’t worry.. I definitely won’t ruin your plan!”
