Chapter 798: Chapter 533, Li Rong is Ambushed_3
It was a local village.
Li Rong, along with her group of over 50 men, were crammed inside a wooden house.
The doors and windows were tightly shut making the inside of the wooden house dark and gloomy.
Outside the house were people dressed in armor and carrying all sorts of weapons.
Like bandits and marauders, they had the house completely surrounded.
“Li Rong, stop resisting. If you keep this up, your big brother is going to get angry, and what happens next will be more than just taking your men’s lives.”
The man at the front was speaking loudly with an extraordinarily rampant tone.
Li Rong peered through the cracks in the wooden window, looking at those outside, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
She’d received news a few days ago that anyone who could provide a certain amount of food to this village could annex it.
Li Rong had abundant resources and had been worrying about a shortage of labor.
Therefore, she thought she could come and turn the village into a subsidiary one, just like Fang Hao, and set up factories in the village.
Who would have guessed, all of this was a trap.
As soon as she had arrived, she fell into an ambush. After losing some of her men, they took refuge in this wooden house.
Now, they were trapped in the house, in a very dangerous situation.
“Who are you? I don’t recall knowing you before!” Li Rong shouted out to the outside.
The enemy was a transmigrator with numerous men under him.
She thought for a long time but couldn’t identify who he was from her memory.
But without any grudges, how could he put so much effort into laying this ambush for her!
“Haha! We did meet, but you were still the sister Li from Fairy Dream Tower then, and didn’t remember me. But now, our positions have reversed. Isn’t this the wheel of fortune turning!” The man laughed heartily.
Li Rong looked at him more closely.
In his forties, with a scruffy face and rough skin.
She really couldn’t remember him.
“Have I offended you?” Li Rong continued to ask.
“Well, no, you didn’t.”
“Then why are you attacking me here?”
The man licked his chapped, frostbitten lips and scoffed, “If I tell you now and you spread the news, then what? Don’t worry. When we’re in bed later, I’ll tell you everything mouth-to-mouth.”
Thinking about Li Rong’s face and figure, a fire ignited in the man’s heart.
I wonder if the big sister of Silver Wing City would be as cold as she usually is in bed.
Faced with such foul language, Li Rong’s face was especially grim.
But the current situation didn’t allow her to let things escalate for the worse.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she continued, “We’re all transmigrators. We should help each other. If I’ve offended you in any way before, I apologize. Please don’t be petty with me. If you let us go, I’ll give you 20% of Fairy Dream Tower’s profits later. We can both win then. How about it?”
The man was taken aback, and his heart was moved in an instant.
The Fairy Dream Tower in Silver Wing City was a gold mine. Although it’s still being rebuilt, once it’s up and running the profits would definitely be high.
Without lifting a finger, he’d get 20%, which was basically free money.
For a moment, he hesitated.
Seeing that the man was wavering, Li Rong sighed with relief.
Just as she was about to continue persuading.
She saw the man take out the Book of Lords and started inputting something.
Li Rong’s heart sank. He was contacting someone.
Which meant, he might be acting under someone else’s orders to ambush her.
This thought made Li Rong’s heart sink to its lowest point.
If the people outside were not the instigators, the chance of negotiation would decrease significantly.
Sure enough, the man put down the Book of Lords in his hand, rubbed his frostbitten hands, and said, “Little lady, are you trying to pull a fast one on me? Once I capture you, the Fairy Dream Tower will be mine anyway. Why bother with 20% of the profits when I can have it all.”
