As for what to do next…we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
“Bro, you’re taking so many people with you.”
At the midway point of the fourth floor, where a few people guarded a staircase corner, the group of guards greeted Li Ming warmly as they saw him coming down.
“In the early stage, we will recruit a few people to get used to things. It might not be enough with just these people, but we’ll start anyway and worry about the rest later.”
Li Ming laughed and said to a few people, casually handing out a few cigarettes. Then, he gave the remaining half a pack to the leader. “I have to go, but hopefully we’ll get a chance to work together in the future.”
Li Ming waved and led his picked people down, leaving the ones who had received the cigarettes laughing as they watched him leave.
From above to outside under the sunlight, all ten people felt slightly uncomfortable. Li Ming knew it was because they hadn’t eaten properly for a long time.
He didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he opened the truck, took out a box of chocolate-flavored compressed biscuits, and a vitamin beverage.
“Everyone have three each, and drink some water to replenish your energy. Later, you five will ride in a separate vehicle. I will lead you guys. When you arrive, each of you can have a bowl of hot porridge, and start by clearing the bushes and rubbish, doing some light work to recuperate.”
Everyone was given three bars of compressed biscuits, along with two bottles of vitamin water. Li Ming then addressed them.

“I have a car here which can fit the five of us.”
Most of the five men didn’t utter a word. They just accepted the food, trembling as they peeled the wrapper before wolfing down the biscuit bars. Only one spoke to Li Ming before eating.
“Okay, you drive them and follow me later.”
Li Ming noted the chubby-faced man who spoke. The man nodded hastily, then quickened his pace, munching down the bars of compressed biscuits in his hand.
Li Ming didn’t rush them. He looked at the five women nearby, including Xu Xiu, who were all eagerly eating. Then he re-hung the crowbar on the outside of the truck’s cab door and returned to quietly watch them eat.
Eating three bars of compressed biscuits didn’t take long. The five men finished in no time, took a sip of water, and their faces noticeably brightened up. The chubby-faced man who spoke first went to park a nearby car next to them.
The other four men signalled for him to get in, then they all turned to stare at Li Ming.
Let’s get on board too. The five of you squeeze into the driver’s seat.”
Li Ming glanced at Xu Xiu, who was still eagerly eating her last biscuit bar. He waved his hand, led them to the passenger seat of the truck, opened the door, and helped them up one by one.
Besides Xu Xiu and the beautiful lady with a gentle demeanor, the other three had average bodies and decent looks. Li Ming let two of them, along with the well-behaved beautiful woman, squeeze in the back.
He let a slender woman sit temporarily in the passenger seat. Seeing that Xu Xiu’s four companions had already been arranged, Xu swiftly gobbled down the biscuit bar in her hands, put the remainder away and wanted to climb up, but was stopped by Li Ming.
“Finish off the remaining biscuits first, and take a sip of water. It’ll make you feel better.”
Li Ming placed his hand on Xu Xiu’s shoulder and said with a smile.
Xu Xiu looked at the man in front of her, slightly startled, then quickly finished off the rest of her biscuit bar.
Her lips were very attractive and she didn’t eat fast, but luckily, there was only half a biscuit left and she didn’t take too long to finish it.
“Two people can squeeze into the front seat, it’s not far anyway and we’re only sitting for a while.”
After Xu Xiu finished eating, Li Ming explained to her with a smile and then helped her climb into the front seat.
The woman in the passenger seat had already moved to make half of the seat free. Li Ming helped Xu Xiu up and she quickly sat down on the seat.
“Click~”
After closing the passenger door, Li Ming carried the Longquan sword around his waist, walked around to the driver’s side, started the truck and successfully turned around near the dining hall gathering place, heading towards the Linjiang villa area.
Following the truck was a small car carrying five men. The two cars, one in front and the other behind, drove towards the Linjiang villa area.
At the passenger seat in front of the truck, Xu Xiu was clutching her clothes nervously, constantly recalling the moment she was helped into the truck by this strong man, causing her to tighten her legs.
Since she had grown up, her private area had only been touched by her father when she was little, and by her husband when she got married. No other man had ever touched it.
Yet today, this man had casually touched it, even squeezing it, making it seem like a trivial matter.
Should I see this as a trivial matter too?
Xu Xiu felt confused. She looked at the man driving, recalling his name. He was called Li Ming.
Sun and Moon shine bright.
After watching for a while, she caught Li Ming’s attention. Xu Xiu quickly returned her gaze to her fingertips, where her hands were interlaced tightly.
Xu Xiu felt at a loss, unsure how to handle the situation.
In this tense moment, she couldn’t help but think of her caring husband, then she remembered that it was her husband who had led her here. Feeling somewhat disheartened, Xu Xiu couldn’t help but shiver at the thought of the nightmarish scene at their gathering site.
After looking at the man driving for a while, she felt torn for a moment, then slowly put the incident of her being touched on her butt at the back of her mind.
At the back of Xu Xiu’s seat, a woman with a gentle demeanor and a good figure pursed her lips, moved silently against the side wall, and watched Xu Xiu being helped onto the bus.
Liu Li knew that the man named Li Ming had taken an interest in herself. But she also knew that her current smell repulsed him.
Otherwise, perhaps…
Liu Li tightly squeezed her legs.
“…”
“Someone is actually following us.”
In the driver’s seat, Li Ming checked the rearview mirror and saw a car slowly trailing them. He narrowed his eyes and grinned.
After thinking for a bit, he unzipped the backpack at his side and took out a pack of tacks. He opened the window and casually threw a few out, as if he was discarding trash.
The interlaced-handed Xu Xiu obviously didn’t notice this, but the woman who was farthest from her saw it. However, she just glanced at it and drew her gaze back, perhaps thinking it was just some trash.
“Ding~”
A few tacks fell by the roadside and soon landed behind the truck. When the car got close, it passed right over them, the tacks lying quietly on the road.
Suddenly, they rolled towards the center of the road.
