Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 632 Xiu Shui Dai Jia
"Humph!"

Seeing that the opportunity to kill Wu Man had been missed, the person inside the sedan chair snorted coldly: "Retreat!"

"Yang Jun, things may change, but I'll come back to see your skills again next time I have the chance."

"Anytime!"

Yang Jun responded expressionlessly.

As the sedan chair, which had broken the ban, turned around, the security team that had come with it also retreated like a tide.

"Pee pee~~"

Seeing this, everyone inwardly sighed with relief, but also felt a little regretful.

If we could see a contest between professionals, not to mention the bragging rights, it would be good to have a reference for ourselves.

But then again, just seeing Xiao Ran's overwhelming power over Wu Man made the trip worthwhile.

While everyone was whispering among themselves, Xiao Ran had already left the corpse pool and arrived in front of Wu Man.

Wu Man was naked, curled up in a ball, her thin body covered with scars.

However, after checking his pulse, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright, this guy is just exhausted. He'll be fine after a good rest."

After all, Wu Man is a professional, and he's not a paper tiger. This kind of damage is not a big problem for him.

There are a few red marks on his forehead, probably from being hit by the butcher.

"How is it? Your friend seems to be doing pretty well."

Jin Chanzi and Qinghai Laomo also came over. Jin Chanzi took Wu Man's pulse, took out a mud ball from his sleeve, and put it into Wu Man's mouth.

"Alright, after taking this Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill from me, he should wake up after a rest."

Jin Chanzi seemed quite confident in the mud balls he had managed to conjure.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran didn't say anything. In fact, Wu Man's condition meant that even if she didn't eat, she wouldn't be able to sleep for long.

But he couldn't dwell on those things now, as Yang Jun and his men had already surrounded Xiao Ran and the others.

It was less of an encirclement and more of a protection; the team separated Xiao Ran from the others, and although they had lowered their guns, they showed no intention of letting anyone get close.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Yang Jun, the supervisor for the East China region. The company has assigned me to be fully responsible for cooperating with your actions."

Unlike other agents, Yang Jun is a true military veteran, a legendary soldier in the army.

Although I have now left the military, that military spirit is ingrained in my bones.

His speech also has a firm and powerful quality.

"Hello."

Xiao Ran reached out her hand.

The two men clasped hands together, producing a crisp popping sound.

Xiao Ran's expression remained unchanged, but Yang Jun's face showed a different expression.

He was surprised. Judging from the methods Xiao Ran had just displayed, Xiao Ran was a master who leaned towards mental strength.

This matches the information in the company's files, except that Xiao Ran was only a D-level expert in the files, but now she has become a professional.

However, during the test, Yang Jun discovered that Xiao Ran's strength and physique seemed to be even stronger than he had expected.

"Has this guy broken through in all attributes?"

Yang Jun, unconvinced, looked at Xiao Ran with a smile: "I've heard of Mr. Xiao's reputation in the company before, but I didn't expect him to be so capable. I'm afraid that if we hadn't come today, this old guy Po Jin would not have gotten any advantage from you."

As Yang Jun spoke, the force in his hands kept increasing, trying to push Xiao Ran to her limit.

However, Xiao Ran didn't move her hand, and her smile was very natural: "Brother Yang, you're too kind. If you hadn't come today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten away with it."

Their hands were clasped together, making a cracking sound, as if they wanted to twist steel into pieces.

Yang Jun was increasingly surprised as he tried, feeling that no matter how much force he used, it was as if he was holding a stone and it wouldn't budge.

This shows that the difference in strength between the opponent and oneself is not significant.

"Goodness, the company's data really needs to be updated; the gap is too big."

Seeing that he couldn't determine the depth, Yang Jun voluntarily let go: "Young hero!"

"No, you are in your prime."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Jun looked at Wu Man with a somewhat troubled expression, after all, Wu Man was a wanted criminal by the company.

Xiao Ran noticed Yang Jun's gaze and quickly said with a smile, "Brother Yang, this guy was ignorant before, but this time he got injured for the country and the people."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun gave him a look that said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

No one who is wanted by the company is innocent; they all deserve to die.

"That's it..."

Xiao Ran revealed in detail how Wu Man had secretly built a plague pool during their attack on Changchun.

This also includes stories such as severely injuring the Ghost Doctor.

"Although his good deeds cannot offset his bad ones, he did do something worthwhile. Please forgive him for now."

Having heard Xiao Ran put it this way, what else could Yang Jun say?

"Alright, since you've brought it up, I'll report his matter to the company and temporarily put him on the gray list. If he doesn't cause any more trouble in the future, the company won't target him anymore."

The gray list means that Wu Man is under close observation. As soon as he is discovered, the local supervisor will notice him immediately and strictly monitor him 24 hours a day.

But this also means that Wu Man's arrest warrant has been temporarily lifted, allowing her to move freely in reality and no longer be a wanted person. Xiao Ran was very surprised that Yang Jun was able to do this.

Sure enough, it proved the saying true: having connections in the court makes it easier to get ahead. Wu Man's matter had crossed a red line, and only someone as influential as Yang Jun could handle it. If it were anyone else, no amount of persuasion would have worked.

But he was also a shrewd person. With a quick glance, he knew that Yang Jun was deliberately doing him a favor.

When the two first met, Yang Jun was both helping him to prevent the breach of the ban and doing him a favor, so it certainly wasn't because they hit it off immediately.

"Then I thank you very much, Brother Yang. If there's anything you can do for me, just let me know, and I'll definitely help you out."

Since they were doing her a favor, Xiao Ran couldn't be rude and readily agreed.

Yang Jun had been waiting for Xiao Ran to say this. He waved behind him and had two soldiers carry Wu Man on a stretcher: "Let's go, we can talk as we walk. The situation isn't very optimistic right now."

"it is good."

Xiao Ran then patted the Yin Soldier Gourd at his waist and put the Butcher and the others back.

This scene naturally caught Yang Jun's eye, and upon seeing it, he couldn't help but reveal a look of envy in his eyes.

He had seen it clearly just now; the strength of these three was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary beginners.

Even for myself, taking down these three corpses would probably not be an easy task.

But Yang Jun was merely envious. As for morticians, although the company lacked them, it did train them.

Unfortunately, even forensic professionals find it difficult to make breakthroughs in their skills, and advancing to the level of a corpse stitcher is challenging, let alone a professional like a C-level smuggler.

Xiao Ran cupped his hands in thanks to the crowd: "Everyone, thank you for speaking up for me today. I am deeply grateful and will never thank you again. If Changchun ever seeks revenge or causes trouble for you in the future, I, Liulian, will definitely stand up for you."

"it is good!!"

The crowd cheered.

Although it was just polite talk, at least everyone looked pleased.

Once outside, he could boast a few lines to anyone he met.

What, what if he doesn't come?

Hey bro, when you're out in the game, if you take things too seriously, you'll lose.

Xiao Ran and her group followed Yang Jun and others straight to the Lost City where Ruzhou was located.

On the way, Xiao Ran discovered that there were hidden sentries along the way, indicating that the company had blocked off this key route.

That's good, after all, Xiao Ran is at ease with the company's reputation.

Yang Jun and his group led Xiao Ran and the others to a campsite.

This place must have been set up temporarily by Yang Jun and his team. It looks like it can hold about three hundred people, so today, in order to support Xiao Ran, Yang Jun brought out almost half of the people.

After Wu Man was settled in, Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi were led into the camp together.

Then he called over several cadres and introduced them to Xiao Ran one by one.

“Dai Long is a young manager in our company and the representative that the company wants to send into the Lost City to liaise with you. You can convey any requests you have to Dai Long.”

Yang Jun pointed to the young officer in front of him and solemnly introduced him to Xiao Ran.

This young man was only a few years younger than Xiao Ran, but he was really pretty, with feminine features, which was quite unusual.

"Hello! Xiao Ran."

Xiao Ran extended her hand, and Dai Long hesitated for a moment before extending his hand to shake Xiao Ran's. As soon as they shook hands, Xiao Ran immediately sensed something was wrong.

It seemed as if Dai Long possessed an exceptionally powerful aura that was trying to repel his hand.

The aura even felt somewhat familiar to Xiao Ran. He glanced at Dai Long with a puzzled look, then looked at Jin Chanzi.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chanzi's expression shifted slightly, and he frowned, asking, "Are you from the Xiushui Dai family?"

Dai Long was surprised that this young Taoist priest could see through his background at a glance, and quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Indeed, I have yet to ask for your guidance, fellow Taoist."

"This humble Taoist is from Longhu Mountain."

Upon hearing that Jin Chanzi was from Longhu Mountain, Dai Long's expression immediately turned cold, and a hint of frost appeared on his already effeminate face.

"What are you going to do?!"

Dai Long brandished a sword with his fingers, looking as if he was ready to fight Jin Chanzi to the death.

Xiao Ran was now completely baffled; why did they suddenly start fighting?

"How dare you! Dai Long, get out of here!"

Yang Jun's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the table, ordering Dai Long to get out of the tent immediately.

Dai Long's eyes welled up with tears, his lips trembled slightly, and then he lowered his head and walked out of the tent.

Xiao Ran glanced at Jin Chanzi, who smiled nonchalantly and said to Yang Jun, "I apologize, but I didn't mean anything by it. Also, I come from Longhu Mountain, but not the real Longhu Mountain, so that young brother misunderstood me."

Upon hearing Jin Chanzi's explanation, Yang Jun immediately smiled: "Haha, I see. That's good. Actually, if you ask me, with the country in crisis, we should all work together. Come, come... these are all young talents in our company..."

About half an hour later.

Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi came out of the tent. Seeing that no one was around, Xiao Ran pulled Jin Chanzi aside and asked, "What's going on? Does Longhu Mountain have a grudge against them?"

"There's a saying, 'misattributing one thing to another,' and the deep-seated hatred between the two families is no exaggeration. The Dai family's private talismans are recognized by heaven and earth, but Longhu Mountain and the country do not recognize them. Now, the Longhu Mountain tradition is declining, and many things have been lost. However, the Dai family's things have been preserved intact. Do you think these two families can be mixed up?"

The feud between the Dai family of Xiushui and Longhu Mountain is not limited to the present day. No wonder Dai Long almost kicked the table and turned on them when he learned that Jin Chanzi was from Longhu Mountain.

"But it has nothing to do with me. I come from the Xuanmen sect of Longhu Mountain. The sect is independent in the Lost City and has nothing to do with the Dai family, so naturally there is no enmity between us."
