401 Not Just the Criminals (2/2)

Scamming their senior and scamming their master was one thing, but if not for this incident, if he had really gotten into a serious business with them, then in the end, would it not have meant that he would have ended up being cheated? Were they not afraid that he would take revenge after he found out the truth?

Xiao San returned to the second floor after dealing with the girl. ”Grand uncle, the woman has been locked in the basement. All her electronic products have been confiscated, and there is a family of five looking after her. Unless her people can materialize out of thin air, they are not going to reach her without tipping us off.”

Master Five nodded and stood up. ”I wish to take our guest for a walk. Remember, do not let any outsiders into the village.”

Han Chu and Ye Shuang naturally followed behind Master Five. They guessed that Master Five was taking them to the place where the military arms were hidden.

After all, Master Five was their senior. Even though he did not give any specific orders, once they left the village, four people followed. Other than acting as his bodyguards, one of them carried a large travel bag. It was probably just in case Master Five needed a snack.

Leaving the village, climbing the mountain, along the way, Ye Shuang saw the young man who carried the large bag produce a staff, a bottle of mineral water, and several apples to offer Master Five. He then grabbed a scythe out of the bag and hacked away the brush at the front of the group. He was as caring and as universally-useful as Doraemon.

Ye Shuang could not help but gasp in shock. ”How long have you been training for this?”

Master Five was being pushed and pulled by a pair of young men up a steep rock cliff. While he caught his breath, he rolled his eyes but did not speak. The young man who was leading the way made use of this opening to smile shyly. ”There hasn't been any training. We often use this mountainous path, so you pick up these skills after you've been around Master Five for long.”

”Practice makes perfect.” Ye Shuang sighed.

Master Five probably felt like his face had been threatened. After he got up the slope, he pushed the young men who helped him up away. He fixed his clothes and huffed. ”I'm getting old already. Back when I was still in the business, trekking over the mountain with a bunch of people wouldn't have affected the schedule planned for the next day at all.”

Ye Shuang gave Han Chu a pull as well. Compared to the two young men, she made it look it she did not use much strength to pull Han Chu up. It looked as easy as pulling a wildflower off the road.

Hearing that, Ye Shuang smiled. ”In my opinion, Master Five, you teach your people well. Looks at how well-defined the job is split within the people… By the way… normally, how do you make sure people stay away from the village? What if someone really came to investigate? You couldn't just chase them away, right?”

Without waiting for Master Five to answer, Han Chu said lightly, ”That's simple, there's tragedy both natural and manmade. To create some problems for the local boss couldn't have been simpler. For example, placing a punctured car on one of the roads that you have to use, or saying that two of the bigger families are in the middle of a fight and the village is not open to guests at the moment, or find some ruffians to create a gang fight. Weapons have no eyes. Even if the outsiders were injured, that was their fault for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

”Kid, are you one of us?” Master Five was shocked. ”Then again, that should be expected. You are Master Eight's junior. Even though you might not be in the business, it's natural for you to know about the rules.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Han Chu glanced at him but did not speak. Those who are familiar with these things, other than the criminals themselves, are the police who are tasked with capturing them…
