Chapter 542: Chapter 538: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 73 [Mass Release 67]

---------------

After waiting for over ten minutes, she finally heard unfamiliar voices approaching from the distance.

"Boss, with such heavy rain, why are we still coming up here?" A fully-armed man in black, carrying a birdcage-sized metal cage in his hand, waded through water and climbed the mountain while asking.

"Whine~" The young beast’s whining sounded, the animal’s low whine intermixing with his words.

"Shut up, keep an eye on the wolf pup in your cage. We lost two brothers to steal this Wolf King’s cub, so watch it carefully!"

"Okay, Boss. It’s just a pity that..." The man who responded became downhearted at the thought of the two who had died.

"Don’t be sad. In our line of work, we’ve long been prepared for life and death. Once we get the final payment, I’ll give more money to Lao Liu and Lao Jiu’s families," said the Boss with a sigh, trying to console him.

"I know, Boss, but why didn’t we just drive straight to Qingfeng Village? Why climb up from this mountain!"

"Foolish, Qingfeng Village is currently troubled by a wolf plague. With our unfamiliar faces entering the village, we’d be obvious for peeping and attract attention. How would you then release the wolf pup into Qingfeng Village?"

"Uh, Boss, I just didn’t think of that, heh! And to think, some woman must have a deep hatred with Xie Family of Qingfeng Village. She’s clearly only in her twenties, yet she wants to invoke the mountain wolves to attack the whole village!"

"Hmph, don’t inquire about our employer’s private matters. We’re just here to take the money for the job! Fourth, you aren’t feeling sympathy for those villagers, are you?" The Boss glared at his subordinate.

"No, Boss, Qingfeng Village isn’t my hometown. Why would I feel sympathy? I’m just curious about a woman who looks so good, yet has such a vicious heart!"

"The most poisonous is a woman’s heart! Fourth, remember to keep your eyes open when you look for a wife in the future!"

The Boss joked casually, wearing a huge military backpack on his back, holding a flashlight in one hand to lead the way, and also carrying a hunting rifle, clearly ready for an ambush.

Both men were decked out in black hunter outfits; the man in the front holding a beam flashlight and the other holding the metal cage, likewise carrying a military backpack, with the other hand holding a Tang sword.

Yan Jinsu leaned against a tree, about three hundred meters away from them. Listening to their conversation, she shifted slightly against the tree trunk and indeed saw a small wolf cub in the hands of the man behind!

Xie Family? A woman in her twenties?

In an instant, Yan Jinsu thought of Yan Jinxian.

Liu Dongzhu was in her thirties at least, and no matter how much she disguised herself, she couldn’t pass for someone in her twenties.

Thinking of how Yan Jinxian went through great lengths to disgust her, she hadn’t expected that Yan Jinxian would, in order to take revenge on her, put the lives of the villagers of Qingfeng Village at risk!

"Wait, be on guard!" The Boss suddenly stopped, sniffed attentively, and looked around alertly with eyes like a hawk, speaking in a deep voice, "There’s the scent of blood! And it’s very pungent!"

"Could it be a wild beast preying?" As soon as Fourth heard the Boss’s call to be alert, he immediately backed up to face the Boss, his eyes scanning all around—

The mountain forest under the torrential rain was eerily quiet, the only light being from the military flashlights they held in their hands!

"It’s the blood of a beast! It’s always wise to be cautious!" The Boss had already cocked his hunting rifle and listened intently for over three minutes—
