Chapter 619 Another Round of Fleece-Plucking - Losing Both Money and People
The next morning, the fog was still thick, and the mountains seemed to be immersed in milk, with only a few dark green peaks showing, resembling the brushstrokes of Lao Dai. The desolate, misty village at the foot of the mountain appeared even more mysterious, with the occasional bird call being shrouded in fog and not very loud.

Inside the main tent of the camp, the air was filled with a mixture of body temperature and fragrance.

Gao Dongxu frowned in his sleep, his broad back pressed against the warm and tender body that touched his heart, and A Ning's petite and delicate body curled up against his chest.

Ah Ning's messy hair brushed against his chin, carrying the refreshing scent of mint shampoo; Ru Qing then embraced his sister Ru Xin, his long slender thong unceremoniously draped around her waist.

“Boss—” came Leng Feng’s deliberately lowered voice from outside the tent.

Gao Dongxu suddenly opened his eyes, frowned and asked, "What is it?" His movement startled the three women awake at the same time.

Ah Ning was the first to fully wake up, her right hand already gripping the pistol hidden under her pillow. She was only wearing a black sports vest, revealing her well-defined arm muscles, her long hair disheveled, but it did not diminish the sharpness in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked in a low voice, her voice completely free of the grogginess of someone just waking up.

Just as Gao Dongxu was about to answer, Ru Xin let out a soft, coquettish moan and slowly sat up. One strap of her silk slip dress slipped down, revealing half of her snow-white shoulder and the faint curves of her skin.

Because of the thick fog, the morning light had not yet arrived, but the small night light inside the tent cast a soft, warm glow on her delicate collarbone.

"Ugh, so early in the morning, what's up?" Ru Xin rubbed her eyes, her thick eyelashes casting shadows on her cheeks. She naturally possessed a touch of allure, and her sleepy appearance at this moment made her even more captivating without her realizing it.

The one sleeping on the outermost side reacted most intensely. She sat up abruptly, the blanket slipping off her body. "Who is it!" she cried, her voice clearly grumpy from being woken up. Her waist-length hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a few strands playfully clinging to her slightly parted red lips.

Gao Dongxu cleared his throat: "It's Leng Feng." He quickly took out a thick white bathrobe from his spatial storage, put it on as he got up, stepped off the super king-size bed made up of two double sofa beds, and walked to the entrance of the tent in his slippers.

The tent zipper was unzipped, and Gao Dongxu's tall figure bent over as he stepped out of the tent and met Leng Feng.

"what happened?"

"We just received a report from our sentries that a group of twelve fully armed foreigners is approaching Misty Village," Leng Feng reported.

"Foreigners? Heh, they must be Jude Kao's men." Gao Dongxu immediately thought of the original plot, where Xie Lianhuan handed Zhang Buxun's body over to Jude Kao.

"Since you're all here, then stay."

A cold glint flashed in Gao Dongxu's eyes. He had no good impression of Qiu Dekao, who had been stirring up trouble in China.

"Don't kill them all. If possible, spare the lives of those with Asian faces. Zisuan and I are confident we can turn them against us."

At this moment, Ah Ning had already put on her coat and walked out of the tent. She came to Gao Dongxu's side and spoke softly. The faint scent of mint on her body, mixed with the fresh scent of morning dew, entered Gao Dongxu's nostrils.

"Can we trust them?" Gao Dongxu asked, frowning slightly.

“Don’t worry, they will basically listen to me. However, I need your help to solve their identity problem. They are all orphans adopted by Jude Kao, just like me and Zi Suan,” A Ning said softly.

"That old bastard Jude Kao is truly despicable," Gao Dongxu said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"You call Zisuan to identify the people. Keep those who can be kept, and send the rest to meet God."

“Okay,” Ah Ning nodded in response.

Gao Dongxu looked at Leng Feng, who nodded and took A Ning to wake up Jiang Zisuan.

Gao Dongxu returned to the tent and saw Ru Xin lazily yawning, her stretch causing the fabric of her nightgown to bulge against her slender body. "Do you need our help?" she asked, her voice soft and sleepy, as she began to tidy her disheveled hair.

"No need, but we can't keep sleeping. Let's get up, pack our things, have breakfast, and then leave." Gao Dongxu took off his bathrobe and started putting on his clothes.

Ruqing pouted and reluctantly began to get dressed. "I hate getting up early," she muttered, but quickly slipped on her tactical pants and hiking boots, completely different from her previous coquettish demeanor.

The tent immediately sprang into action. Gao Dongxu dressed in just a few minutes and began storing his belongings into his spatial storage.

After a quick wash, the two sisters began to style their hair and put on makeup in front of the mirror.

After Gao Dongxu tidied up the sofa bed and put it away in his spatial storage, he looked at the two sisters, who had completely different styles but looked exactly alike, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. Ru Qing keenly caught his expression and raised an eyebrow, giving him an inquiring look.

"Luckily, the three of you are with me, so I can find some joy in this hardship." Gao Dongxu stepped forward, put his arms around the two women's slender waists, and laughed.

Ru Xin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling. Ru Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Go ahead and mess with us all you want."

"Hahaha..." Gao Dongxu chuckled, patting her buttocks a few times in response, which earned him her charming and coquettish reproach.

As the morning mist began to spread through the valley, the camp came alive with gunshots, screams, and cries of terror.

Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, Xiao Hua, Xie Lianhuan, Pan Zi, and the others rushed out of the tent. Seeing Gao Dongxu and his group already starting a fire and cooking, they hurriedly asked what was going on. Gao Dongxu smiled and explained, then looked at Xie Lianhuan and said with a smile, "What deal did you make with Qiu Dekao?"

"I sold Zhang Buxun's body to him..." Xie Lianhuan didn't hide anything, looking at Gao Dongxu and saying with a bitter smile.

"Hehe, you and Wu Sansheng have really figured out what's wrong with that old codger Jude Kao..." Gao Dongxu teased, raising an eyebrow, a glint of smirk in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "What price did he offer?"

"Ten million," Xie Lianhuan said with a wry smile.

Gao Dongxu chuckled, walked over to Xie Lianhuan, put his arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Call Jude Kao right now and tell him that you've been besieged and pursued by that mysterious force, and that you need to change the time and place of the transaction..."

Looking at Gao Dongxu's wicked grin, Jie Lianhuan immediately understood Gao Dongxu's thoughts and couldn't help but think to himself how shameless and unscrupulous Gao Dongxu was.

The people nearby quickly realized that Gao Dongxu was greedy and wanted to swindle Qiu Dekao again.

"What? You don't want to?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile, raising an eyebrow at Xie Lianhuan, who had a wry smile on his face.

“Yes, Mr. Gao, whatever you say, I’ll do. I’ll call him right now—” Xie Lianhuan said hurriedly.

"Hehe, I prefer dealing with you cunning and treacherous people, because you're the most pragmatic, hahaha..."

Gao Dongxu looked at Xie Lianhuan, laughing smugly, and patted him on the shoulder teasingly, saying, "Give him back his phone—"

Taking the phone, Jie Lianhuan looked at Gao Dongxu with a wry smile and asked, "Where will the transaction take place?"

"It'll be outside the mountains. Remember to tell him about the people he sent..."

At this point, the gunfire had ceased. Gao Dongxu grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and continued, "They've been completely wiped out. Tell him not to send any more men. Just prepare to meet them outside the mountains."

Looking at Gao Dongxu's callous smile, Xie Lianhuan felt a chill run down his spine and forced a dry laugh, "Fine—"

"Fugui, go fight with him on the side, don't let our big spender notice anything amiss," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

“Yes—” Fu Gui nodded and followed Xie Lianhuan, who was smiling bitterly, toward the woods on the side.

"Hehe, alright everyone, just keep your voices down. Pack your things, have breakfast, and then we'll leave." Gao Dongxu said to everyone with a smile.

Everyone nodded and got to work.

Jie Lianhuan quickly finished his call with Qiu Dekao.

A dozen minutes later, Leng Feng and A Ning quickly returned and reported on the battle situation. Apart from two people who were deliberately kept alive, all the other foreigners had been sent to meet their maker.

The two survivors didn't need much persuasion; upon seeing Aning and Jiang Zisuan and hearing the siblings' promise, they immediately betrayed them.

It must be said that Aning held a very high position and prestige in the hearts of the surviving orphans adopted by Jude Kao.

“They will follow you from now on, and I will arrange new identities for them.” Gao Dongxu looked at A Ning and smiled with satisfaction.

“Yes. You can use them without worry…” Ah Ning seemed worried that Gao Dongxu might be suspicious of people who betrayed and surrendered so easily, so she sat down next to Gao Dongxu and began to tell him about the hardships they had suffered since childhood.

As everyone listened to A Ning's account, they were filled with deep disgust and curses at Jude Kao, that old geezer who used the so-called good deed of adopting orphans from the Celestial Empire but was actually training assassins to infiltrate the Celestial Empire and do evil.

"So, their hatred for Jude Kao is definitely no less than mine, and the reason they are willing to be driven by Jude Kao is nothing more than for survival and to gain a sense of belonging..." Aning said softly with a sad expression.

Gao Dongxu gently stroked A Ning's hair and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't use them as tools or cannon fodder."

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, everyone's lips twitched involuntarily. Was he even speaking human language?

However, Ah Ning looked at Gao Dongxu with gratitude and nodded, saying, "I thank you on their behalf."

"Silly girl—" Gao Dongxu chuckled and affectionately ruffled her hair.

Ah Ning blushed slightly and playfully slapped Gao Dongxu's hand that was ruffling her hair.

Seeing the couple oblivious to everyone else, the others immediately went about their own business, not wanting to watch them continue their public displays of affection.

After everyone gathered together for a rather hearty quick breakfast, they packed up the campsite and prepared to set off. At that moment, Gao Dongxu made a phone call to Director Luo, who was far away in Beijing.
