401 Not Just the Criminals (1/2)

The girl was probably not a combat unit. Even though she might have been more powerful than she appeared, she was powerless when ambushed by a man much younger and stronger than she was. Xiao San's takedown was quick and efficient. He finished the task almost the second that Master Five gave the order. There was not one trace of hesitation on his face. He carried the unconscious girl on his shoulders and found some rope from inside the house. As he tied her up with ease, he asked, ”Grand uncle, why are we tying her up?”

It looked like he had not been briefed about the situation, but he had completed the order that was given to him by Master Five.

Master Five shook his head with a smile and explained to the others. ”I haven't told the boys about her, mainly because I was afraid that some might act recklessly. Only those who were present when the kidnapping happened know about the real situation… This girl tried to seduce my people, but thankfully, my grandnephew held his ground and didn't fall for her trick.”

”She's a traitor?” Xiao San was shocked. When he said so, he finished tying the last knot. He tugged the bind to test its strength. After ensuring that the captive would not be able to escape, Xiao San threw the girl over his shoulder, stood up, and asked with a blindingly white smile, ”Grand uncle, shall I take her away to deal with her?”

Master Five raised his head and tossed a cup at him. ”Deal your head! I still need her to trade for my granddaughter!”

Xiao San was first shocked, and then he scratched his head and grumbled. Mostly, it was about not seeing his little sister around these few days and how sad he was from being lied to by his grand uncle.

After Xiao San took the girl away, Han Chu asked with hesitance, ”Are you sure this is fine? If the woman has some other method to contact her people…”

”Here, she won't be able to send out even a single hair. Even if she somehow manages to do so, her life is not as important as my granddaughter's.” Master Give picked up a new cup, poured himself some tea, and sipped on it. ”Those people only have one thing over me. They still need me to retrieve their things, so they will not harm her.”

Previously, he had kept the girl around because he did not know about his granddaughter's situation, afraid that he was unable to save her. Now that he had other people's help, as long as they kept a good watch over the girl to make sure that she did not contact her people, what was there for him to be afraid of?

Han Chu nodded. Since the other party had already come up with a solution, and he had completed his role of providing a reminder, there was no need to go around in circles anymore. ”Master Eight is an expert at moving people. Xiao Shuang has already handed the clues that Tony found to Xiao Su. It's enough for him and his disciple to make the move. We should leave the rescue to them. On our side, naturally, we have to hurry. We should retrieve the military arms as soon as possible.”

Master Five was stunned. ”What military arms?”

Ye Shuang was stunned in return. ”Master Five, do you wish to abandon us after we've helped you? We help you save your granddaughter, and you hand over what those people wanted you to look after for them to us. Isn't that a fair trade?”

Master Five did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Ye Shuang and then at Master Eight. ”I really thought you were here to work together on a job, but you've been eyeing those things from the beginning.”

Master Eight harrumphed with dissatisfaction. ”Did you think I was kidding when I said I was going to retire? If not for this bunch of kids misusing my name to trick others, do you think I would come here to muddy the water?”

”The next generations are the debt collectors from our previous lives.” Master Five finally understood the whole situation. After he found out that he had been lied to, he was not mad. After all, the ending was a positive one. However, he was shocked.

How come the children these days are so audacious?
