The guards who were patrolling looked down at the passageway, looked at the little pup that had fallen in the well, and chuckled happily. The one on the right crouched down and took a close look at Ciyi before saying to his partner, "Should we take him with us? I heard that dog meat can really fill you up."
When Ciyi heard the words of the guards, she stiffened before letting out a warning growl. Seeing this, the two guards were even more amused. The one on the left chuckled and cooed, "Aww, little puppy, did you understand what we were saying?"
Of course, neither of the two guards believed that Ciyi could understand what they were saying. They were just teasing it after seeing that the little pup was snarling at them in response, just after the guard on the right said that he was going to eat it.
The two guards were still chuckling while Ciyi stared at the foolish humans who took her lightly. Her expression was half annoyed and half contemptuous. Sure enough, there were not many humans who were as smart as Bai Meiyue. They saw her and thought that she was vulnerable.
Did they not think of the many mutated beasts when they saw her? How come they were treating her as a normal pup? Ciyi inwardly shook her head before attacking the two men with sharp ice needles.
The thin needles penetrated the skin of the two guards, and the men who were laughing and jeering while pointing at Ciyi paused. They stiffened as if they had been turned into statues and then toppled backwards as a thin film of ice covered them from head to toe. Ciyi looked at the two frozen sculptures and snorted.
This was what they got for underestimating her. Did they think that she was just some casual pup on the street? Humph. Idiots.
Ciyi flicked her tail and then marched ahead. Once she found the other two guards, she knocked them out cold just like she did with the others, and after doing it, she sent a mental wave to Bai Meiyue and told her that the guards were knocked down.
When Bai Meiyue received the message, she turned to look at the team behind her and nodded. She had underestimated Ciyi and her abilities. When the little pup told her that she wanted to follow her, Bai Meiyue thought that the little one was thinking too much. After all, how could she deal with such dangerous things? But she underestimated Ciyi.
When Wan Guofu and the rest saw her signal, they were a bit stunned. That was it? However, they thought about it a little and then went inside the well. Upon entering, they saw two men who had frozen to death.
They all sucked in a breath but no one said a single word. They knew that Bai Meiyue was ruthless, but they seemed to have underestimated her cruelty.
Mo He pulled the two men to one side and, with Yang Chunhua’s help, buried the two men under six feet. This way, even if someone were to sense that there was something amiss, they would not find any traces of these two men.
After dealing with the two corpses, the group continued onwards. The more they walked, the more traps they encountered. Fortunately, Madam Ai was with them, and they were able to dodge most of them and didn’t trigger anything too big. No wonder Madam Ai was insisting on coming with them.
She was worried that they would run into traps!
The further they went, the more traps started to pop out. Not to mention, there were so many intercrossing routes that if they went into the wrong one, they would certainly be caught into trouble. The entire passageway was tangled and confusing.
Bai Meiyue curled her lips. In the past, the reason she could not find Boss Yun was that he was really good at hiding and digging rabbit holes like these all over the city. By the time she cornered him, Bai Meiyue felt like she had been led around like a fool by her nose.
However, this time around, with Madam Ai’s help, she was able to trace this man down quite soon. Her eyes flashed with amusement when she recalled the pitiful and unsightly scene that she had seen when she cornered Boss Yun in her past life. Would that man act in the same manner in this life? Bai Meiyue couldn’t help but wonder.
Madam Ai brought them to the end of the passage and then pointed at the entrance of the other corridor. She said, "You can walk straight from here. Boss Yun is really worried that he will be assassinated every day; thus, he never sleeps in the same room. At the same time, he is afraid that no one would find out where he is or guard him properly; thus, he leaves a pouch with scented grass. It smells of lavender and some other herbs."
"He believes that as long as he does this, he will be able to hide himself, as others would think that a woman is sleeping in the chambers."
When Bai Meiyue heard her words, she chuckled softly. Of course, Boss Yun was nothing but a coward who tried to pretend that he was a big, bad wolf. But in truth, if something happened, he would run faster than a weak woman. This was also the reason why Bai Meiyue had never taken that man seriously.
The team left Madam Ai with Ciyi and followed the path that she had told them; it didn’t take long for them to climb out and find themselves in an old hotel. Maybe Boss Yun was certain that there was no way anyone would be able to break past the defenses that he had left in the underground passageway.
Thus, there was not a single guard guarding the corridor where the man was staying and patrolling the entire area.
