The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 282 The Trap of Luring the Enemy (2nd Update)
The bandits showed no resentment at being ostracized; on the contrary, they looked happy to have gotten a great deal.

They nodded quickly: "Okay, don't worry, we definitely won't disturb the guests."

The bodyguards' hands never left the weapons at their waists, and there were quite a few of them. The bandits' eyes darkened.

Noticing the bodyguard secretly observing the courtyard, the bandit looked at the ginseng fruit still sitting on the ground.

He immediately yelled, "Little Fatty, can't you see we have guests? Still sitting on the ground!"

Then, with an apologetic look, she turned to the bodyguard and said, "I'm so sorry, my child at home was being disobedient, and I just gave him a scolding, but he just lay on the ground throwing a tantrum..."

When the bodyguard saw the tear stains on Ginseng Fruit's face and its round body, he immediately lowered his guard.

Yunran peered through a small crack in the tin shack and saw what was happening outside.

If it weren't for her biased stance, she would have said these bandits were awesome. She had previously thought that although these people did bad things, at least they didn't kill all the 'hostages'.

It now seems that these people probably knew all along that their targets included a powerful expert.

If a passerby or a staff member at the reception center were to be accidentally injured, bloodshed would be inevitable.

These bodyguards are all seasoned veterans; it's not easy to fool them if they have any bloody aura.

Not to mention, these bandits are so adept at using naive children to lower the guards' guards' guards' guards.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these days, bandits are all formidable figures. They set up a trap long ago, luring the enemy into a snare. There's no way this could have happened without an inside traitor!"

The ginseng fruit obediently stood up. Hearing its host's mutterings, it was also curious about which of those seemingly powerful people was the traitor.

The bodyguard looked at the chubby child with curiosity, scrutinizing each of them.

Although he remains vigilant, he is no longer as cold-blooded as before.

"You few will be on guard for the first half of the night, and you few will be on guard for the second half. The rest of you, get some rest tonight."

The man known as Dr. Jade had no other objections and, escorted by bodyguards, went to his room on the second floor.

The lead bodyguard didn't rest. After having someone stand guard outside Dr. Yu's and the others' rooms, he came down and looked around.

Ginseng Fruit sized up the man who exuded murderous intent, wondering if he had noticed anything amiss, or about the cellar in the backyard.

"Little friend, what are you looking at?"

Just as Renshenguo was about to speak, he saw the sinister look in the eyes of the bandits behind the bodyguard.

"Little Fatty, what are you doing here disturbing the guests' rest? You're really getting out of control!"

As he spoke, the bandit rushed over, intending to slap the ginseng fruit.

The criminal has now created a persona for himself as a strict father, especially believing in the educational philosophy that "spare the rod and spoil the child."

The bodyguard frowned slightly. Although he didn't approve of hitting children, he was just a passerby and it wasn't appropriate for him to interfere in a father's parenting.

He could only turn around and go somewhere else.

The bandit's hand gripped the tender flesh on the inside of Ginseng Fruit's arm so tightly it seemed he wanted to tear the flesh off.

"If you dare to say anything out of line, I'll beat your sister to death!"

The ginseng fruit, who had been pretending to be timid and terrified, was suddenly getting annoyed with this persona. If his host hadn't called the police, and if he hadn't wanted to get too involved in these events, he would have wanted to slap these people away right now. It was so annoying!

Playing a coward once or twice is refreshing, but playing it too often makes you irritable!
"go away!"

Ren Shenguo burst into tears, then clutched her arm and retreated to the corner, her back looking utterly miserable.

The bodyguard checked the surroundings but found nothing amiss before heading to the kitchen to investigate.

These bodyguards, aside from not being able to get pregnant and give birth themselves, are all-rounders; they can do everything, and cooking is just a minor task for them.

"Boss, dinner is ready."

"Okay, I'll personally deliver the food to Dr. Yu and the others. You should also eat something quickly and then take some time to rest."

The bodyguard brought the simple meal upstairs and let his companions who had been guarding the area eat, then he personally took over the guard duties.

Although Yunran was trapped in the small tin house, she knew everything that was happening outside.

The food and drinking water were perfectly fine, but this group was still tricked.

Who would have thought that these bandits not only have a good mindset and high intelligence, but their scheming is also incredibly difficult to guard against.

The nights in the Northwest are cold. As soon as those living in the rooms turn on the air conditioner, the colorless and odorless gas is released. It won't make you choke, but it will make you feel weak all over.

When they wake up in the middle of the night, the symptoms will fully manifest, and then they'll be like fish on a chopping board.

Seeing that it was almost time, the bandit beckoned to the ginseng fruit and then gave him a small portable stove.

"Give this little stove to the uncle who is guarding the car."

Below the small stove, the fuel was soaked in a special liquid; once ignited, the gas naturally dissipated.

Renshenguo took the small stove and headed towards the car.

If an adult comes toward the car, the bodyguards who remain on duty will definitely be on guard, and may even reprimand them sternly.

But since he was just a child, the bodyguards politely declined the stove offered to them for warming themselves: "No need, little friend, you can take the stove back."

However, they did not refuse the ginseng fruit's approach.

Just then, the police finally arrived, and Yunran and Renshenguo both breathed a sigh of relief.

The criminals, who were about to reap the rewards of their victory, suddenly saw several police cars and were completely stunned.

The bodyguards noticed someone approaching and immediately became extremely alert, but after seeing that it was a police car...

They simply avoided it quietly.

The bandit's heart sank, but he quickly regained his composure.

They carefully selected this location; the nearest police station would take at least three or four hours to get there.

Normally, police officers wouldn't pass by here at all; the presence of them is probably a coincidence.

The leader of the bandits immediately stepped forward, acting all warm and attentive: "Are you all looking for accommodation as well? I see there are quite a few of you, and I'm afraid the remaining rooms won't be enough."

The police captain looked at the person in front of him. If it weren't for the phone call he received, he might have suspected that the person who made the report was lying.
