In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Wu Xie: "..."

Damn it, so this is just bullying honest people, huh!

Chapter 343: Zhang Qiling Appears Again

"Master Su, Master Su, I didn't intend to target Wang Yueban, my only target is Wu Xie!"

Seeing that Su Mo remained unmoved, Jason turned to A Ning beside him and pleaded, "A Ning, we're on the same side, please speak up for me, please speak up for me..."

Ah Ning was speechless. Why were so many people asking her to plead for them today?

Just a few hours ago, she pleaded for Uncle Hai's life, but he's now dead, probably reincarnated by now!

Ah Ning sighed and said truthfully, "Don't beg me, my words don't carry any weight!"

Jason, pale-faced, looked at Su Mo again, "Master Su, our Wang family has never intended to be your enemy..."

"We have never laid a hand on Wang Yueban; on the contrary, it is you who have repeatedly killed members of my Wang family..."

"Ah!"

Su Mo smiled faintly, "The Wang family really does have a short memory. Last time in Misty Village, you dared to lay a hand on Little Flower, clearly you didn't take me seriously..."

"Do you think it's in the middle of nowhere, and no one will know about this...?"

Faced with Su Mo's questioning, Jason was speechless. Murder to silence witnesses and destroy evidence—this was indeed the Wang family's style of doing things.

"Doesn't your Wang family like to kill people in the middle of nowhere...?"

Wang Kaixuan, now in a playful mood, looked at Jason with a mocking expression, "I'm giving you a chance to live this time. If you and your brothers take off your clothes and kneel outside the inn all night, and you're still alive the next day, it means God has spared you..."

"If you can't withstand the wind and snow and freeze to death outside, then we'll call it even!"

Kneeling outside all night?

The biting wind was more painful than killing them!

Jason's eyes widened, veins bulging on his face. "We! Kneel!"

No matter what, this is their only chance to survive!

Old Hu scolded, "Fatty, just kill these people, what are you thinking?"

Wang Kaixuan laughed and said, "Old Hu, I call this 'fighting fire with fire'..."

With that, Wang Kaixuan looked at Jason again and said, "Kid, if you survive, and you're not satisfied, then send your Wang family to find me, hehe..."

Jason said, "I wouldn't dare. I am who I am, and the Wang family is the Wang family. It was my fault, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Old Hu said, "Ha, you Wang family members are certainly loyal..."

Wang Kaixuan retorted, "Get out of here! Take off your clothes, kneel outside the door, and your lives are in God's hands..."

The group scrambled to their knees in the snow.

Wang Kaixuan watched this scene with amusement, "Brother Su, how many of them do you think will survive out of the dozen or so..."

Su Mo gave Jason a deep look. "One, only one!"

After saying that, Su Mo led everyone back to the inn.

……

the next day.

Just as Su Mo had predicted, apart from Jason, everyone else perished and turned into ice sculptures.

Since Wang Kaixuan had already made his decision, Su Mo couldn't refuse him, so he reluctantly spared Jason's life.

Afterwards, Wu Xie suggested that everyone go into the mountains to explore the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top. However, Lao Hu observed the celestial phenomena at night and discovered that there would be blizzards for the next few days, and the heavy snow would soon close the mountain. Going into the mountains at this time would be no different from courting death.

Su Mo thought for a while and felt there was no need to take the risk.

So, the group settled down at the inn.

In the afternoon, Wu Xie, who had gone out to find a guide, successfully brought back one person. "Everyone, this is our guide—Shunzi!"

Everyone nodded, not paying much attention, since the mountains were now snowbound and even with a guide, they could only enter the mountains in a few more days.

"Everyone... I'm taking one more person with me!"

"Look!"

Everyone casually looked up, only to find that the person was someone they knew.

Wang Yueban was stunned. "Hey, Zhang the Mute, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Qiling always had that deadpan expression, pulled up a chair and sat down. "Let's eat!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Yueban was speechless: "Boss, bring some hot dishes, my brother is starving!"

The innkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, I'll go prepare dinner right now!"

Half an hour later, all the dishes were served.

The crowd toasted and began to welcome Zhang Qiling.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Su Mo suddenly saw Jason coming down with his subordinates and a local tour guide.

In the past few days, Alpha Corporation has sent another team to Jason.

The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds. These people seem determined to succeed!

Chapter 344: The Unknown Monster in the Snow Mountain

In the inn.

Jason's men were fully armed.

Even Jason himself was whispering with a local guide named "Ali".

The two of them kept talking about things on the mountain!

The innkeeper's brows twitched as he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, "Ali, are you heading out? Don't you see the blizzard is coming?"

The guide, Ali, looked troubled and said, "Uncle, please don't ask. The bosses have decided to go up the mountain at this time, and I can't disobey them!"

The innkeeper angrily retorted, "Are you out of your mind? You'd risk your life for a few coins?"

Jason gave his boss a cold glance. "Old man, do you know how much money this kid charged us? All in US dollars. This one trip is enough for him to live on for the rest of his life..."

Ah Ning then came down from the second floor: "Jason, I advise you to listen to the locals. Knowing it's dangerous and still going out isn't a smart thing to do!"

"..."

Jason glanced at Su Mo and the others who were eating at the next table.

Jason didn't want to brave the snow and go into the mountains at this time, but living under the same roof as Su Mo and the others made him live in fear every day.

Wang Kaixuan's intentional or unintentional teasing, along with the four villains taking turns monitoring them, made Jason afraid to sleep, lest someone slit his throat in his sleep.

Staying in the inn felt like an eternity.

This is worse than killing him.

Therefore, Jason decided to take the risk and go into the mountains ahead of schedule.

"Walk…"

Jason gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "Pack your things, we're leaving in ten minutes!"

After saying that, Jason and his guide Ali turned and walked out of the inn.

"hehe…"

Seeing Jason and the others leave, Wang Kaixuan, who was eating nearby, chuckled softly, "Going into the mountains at this time is like an old man eating poison—they're tired of living!"

"But it's good, God keeps helping us take in people!"

Wu Xie's guide, Shunzi, suddenly said, "Everyone says blizzards are scary, but I think the scariest thing here is the unknown monsters on the mountain..."

“Back then, some people from our village went up the mountain and died inexplicably.”

"When they were discovered, the body was in pieces, as if it had been violently torn apart. It was frozen on the ground, a red and yellow patch, and the small intestines were brittle and would break apart at the slightest touch!"

Upon hearing this, Old Hu immediately lost his appetite and said, "You have a strong palate, do you mean wild animals from the mountains?"

Chen Pi, sitting at the next table, also put down his chopsticks and said, "Playing tricks, why not just say it's man-made?"

As they were talking, Aning came downstairs with her luggage.

Wang Yueban immediately laughed and said, "Little girl, are you going to your death too?"

Ah Ning said, "Our boss had a partnership with Alpha Group back then, I can't just stand by and watch them go to their deaths..."

Wang Yueban immediately gave a thumbs up, "Goodness, you couldn't bear to watch them die, so you decided to die with them..."

"You're so aloof, Fatty, I admire you from the bottom of my heart..."

"Don't worry, may you rest in peace. I will definitely burn paper money for you next year on this day!"

Wang Yueban's sarcastic remarks infuriated A Ning. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left the inn.

"Hey…"

Su Mo shook his head. "You can't reason with a damned ghost. We've done everything we could for her. Let her go!"

……

Two hours later.

Everyone had already finished eating, and the food on the table had been replaced with tea, melon seeds, and peanuts.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and Jason and his second-in-command burst in.

Jason's second-in-command burst in, yelling, "There's something strange in the woods! Something deceptive! Many people have vanished into the fog! They've all disappeared!!!"

Jason's second-in-command was deathly pale, clearly terrified.

The innkeeper asked in a trembling voice, "Then... what about Ali, who went with you?"

Wu Xie also stood up and said, "Didn't A Ning go out to look for you? Didn't she come back with you?"
