"Please wait a moment."
Yan Shouyi did not elaborate on what he was going to do. With his current status as the president, only the helmsmen and deputy helmsmen of Wushen Mountain were qualified to receive explanations from him.
It wasn't due to Yan Shouyi's arrogance, but because he represented the entire Folk Research Society externally. If he didn't maintain a certain demeanor, others would simply think the Folk Research Society was mediocre and would look down on them.
As expected, the more aloof Yan Shouyi appeared, the more obedient Xu Shengnan and the others became.
They agreed and all waited by the car, their mouths sealed, refraining from whispering or discussing.
However, their eyes still betrayed their hidden curiosity, unable to resist glancing at Yan Shouyi.
So this was the legendary God of Slaughter.
He looked so young!
Could he be leading the Folk Research Society solely with the support of his father from the old Xuanshan Sect?
Or perhaps, Yan Chou was the true leader of the Folk Research Society?
The curious gazes of everyone were suddenly met with an icy chill.
Everyone recoiled as if electrocuted, then peered out again, trying to find the source of that chilling aura.
The dog Taoist, Miaoji, Changshan, Long Feicheng, and Old Jin were all smoking as if releasing pent-up feelings.
The only one staring at everyone was an old yellow dog.
The crowd was greatly startled, realizing that the terrifying chill had come from this old yellow dog!
We were almost stared to death by a dog?
Then they remembered that during Yan Shouyi's live broadcast dealing with the Chihua Association, the camera had captured an old yellow dog sitting on the West Lake, seemingly cultivating, and it appeared to be this very dog.
This old yellow dog... was unfathomably powerful!
Everyone quickly straightened their postures, no longer daring to underestimate Yan Shouyi and his companions.
Yan Shouyi returned to the truck and patted the door, saying, "Brother Yang, I'm going to visit a friend. You wait for us in the nearby town."
Brother Yang was accustomed to Yan Shouyi's mysteriousness. Moreover, after his own imagination, he no longer had many questions.
Brother Yang nodded and quietly reminded him, "You have a phone now. If you need to escape later, remember to call me, and I'll come to your rescue!"
It was unexpected that Brother Yang was so loyal and righteous!
Yan Shouyi thought he might take this opportunity to escape and reunite with his daughter.
Then he heard Brother Yang add, "Three thousand yuan per rescue, a friendly price."
"You son of a—"
Yan Shouyi almost yanked the car door off its hinges.
As expected, money spoke louder than anything else.
With Brother Yang arranged, Yan Shouyi had no lingering worries. If his meeting with Hu Chai, the deputy helmsman of Wushen Mountain, went smoothly, he might even be able to have Hu Chai arrange a car and manpower to escort him to Changbai Mountain.
This way, everyone wouldn't have to squeeze into a truck and be extorted by "Brother Extra Charge."
"Let's go."
Yan Shouyi returned to Xu Shengnan, and under her guidance, everyone got into the car and sped away.
The remaining personnel began to deal with the disciples of the Zhenwu Sect.
These temporarily unconscious Zhenwu Sect disciples were thrown into the cars like livestock.
A masked man whispered an order, "Take them into the mountains, find a secluded spot, and burn them all."
"Yes!"
"Make sure to clean up the scene."
"Yes!"
...
In the car, Long Feicheng whispered to Yan Shouyi, "Brother Yan, have you noticed? Protector Xu's pectoral muscles are exceptionally exaggerated."
Yan Shouyi shot him a glare, "Can't she be voluptuous?"
"If such a tomboy can have a 'E', how many women would be jealous!" Long Feicheng voiced his "experienced driver" opinion.
"Are you interested?"
Xu Shengnan, sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly turned around and said, "Want to feel it yourself?"
The air froze.
Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng, sitting in the back, flushed red, not daring to look directly at Xu Shengnan.
Long Feicheng used to tease girls, but this time he encountered a tough opponent and backed down.
As for Yan Shouyi, the reason he blushed was simply because he had been badmouthing her behind her back.
Long Feicheng was silent for a moment, his competitive spirit ignited. He leaned forward and extended his hand, saying,
"Let me clarify, I'm not lecherous, just very curious. Forgive me if I offend..."
Yan Shouyi grabbed Long Feicheng's hand and reprimanded, "If I let you touch, you'd actually touch?"
"She asked for it~" Long Feicheng grinned and retracted his hand.
However, Xu Shengnan, sitting in the front, did not seem embarrassed. She removed the black veil covering her face, revealing a face full of scars, and said nonchalantly,
"To tell you the truth, I've always considered myself a man. I even use the men's bathhouse when I bathe. It's no big deal."
Old Jin asked curiously, "Then the men in the bathhouse..."
"Mine are bigger than theirs."
"Huh?" The men in the car exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Shengnan seemed to realize her words were ambiguous at this moment and explained, "Muscles."
So, no one was interested in a muscular Barbie doll?
Oh wait, a doll-like face would be a muscular Barbie. Xu Shengnan was simply "muscular" in the truest sense.
Out of politeness, everyone did not dwell on the topic of Xu Shengnan. Fortunately, the Wushen Mountain branch was not far from where they got into the car; it was only a ten-minute drive.
The place was a small mountain village with inconvenient transportation, not even having paved roads.
Fortunately, the gravel road was wide enough, otherwise, the car wouldn't have been able to get in.
Upon arriving at the village, Yan Shouyi and their car stopped in front of the courtyard of a farmhouse. Chickens, ducks, and geese were free-ranging in the yard, and two German Shepherds were basking in the sun by the entrance.
Smoke curled from the courtyard, suggesting lunch was being prepared, exuding a strong sense of home.
Yan Shouyi and the others alighted from the car. The two German Shepherds, seemingly sensing the scent of their own kind, barked incessantly at the car, their chains dragging.
Xu Shengnan frowned and commanded, "Quiet!"
But the two German Shepherds ignored Xu Shengnan and continued barking.
It wasn't until the dog Taoist brought out the old yellow dog that the old yellow dog simply glanced at the two German Shepherds. The two dogs then seemed to have seen something terrifying, tucking their tails, lowering their heads, and whimpering.
Xu Shengnan cast a slightly apologetic glance at Yan Shouyi, then bowed and said,
"The Deputy Helmsman is inside. Upon hearing of President Yan's arrival, he insisted on personally cooking a farmhouse meal for everyone."
Unexpectedly, Hu Chai was quite hospitable.
Yan Shouyi responded, lightly knocked on the courtyard gate, and then pushed it open.
Inside the courtyard, a mud stove was set up, covered by a waterproof tarp to shield it from the wind and rain. A middle-aged man, wearing a dirty apron and embroidered arm sleeves, was sprinkling salt into a pot.
Yan Shouyi took a glance; the dish in the pot was Northeastern stewed goose.
"Oh my, you're here! Why are you standing outside? Come in and sit down!"
Deputy Helmsman Hu Chai greeted everyone enthusiastically, holding a spatula.
