Inside the pitch-black, sweltering carriage.

Luo Xiu switched on his phone's flashlight.

The intense light made Yun Wanzhou and the other women instinctively shut their eyes, only slowly opening them again after they had adjusted to the brightness.

Before being locked in the carriage, these five delicate beauties had already had their limbs ruthlessly broken by Xiong Zi's men. Now, they lay inside looking utterly pitiful.

Luo Xiu crept closer without a word and swiftly knocked out the other four women, leaving only Yun Wanzhou conscious. He was only certain that Yun Wanzhou was on his side and didn't know about the others, so knocking them all out was his only choice.

Yun Wanzhou glared at Luo Xiu, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Scum, what are you planning to do?"

Luo Xiu placed a hand firmly over Yun Wanzhou's mouth and whispered, "Brace yourself. This might hurt a lot."

Yun Wanzhou glared furiously at him. Before she could comprehend his words, her pupils contracted violently. In that instant, she could distinctly feel the bones and joints in her limbs grating against each other.

The indescribable pain made her brain reel from a lack of oxygen. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and she was drenched in sweat.

It took her a while to recover. To her astonishment, she discovered that Luo Xiu had already set her broken limbs.

Her face was pale, her pearly teeth biting down on her lower lip as she stared at Luo Xiu in confusion.

"Why?"

Luo Xiu smiled. "We're on the same side. No need to be a stranger."

At his words, Yun Wanzhou's beautiful eyes quivered.

Luo Xiu asked, "Who is the other undercover agent with you?"

However, Yun Wanzhou didn't answer. She didn't trust him. If Luo Xiu were truly one of them, Tang Hong'e would have told her. Yet, Tang Hong'e had never mentioned an ally named Luo Xiu.

So, she figured, Luo Xiu must be putting on a friendly act just to identify the other informant.

Seeing her remain silent, Luo Xiu realized she didn't believe him.

What a hassle.

He didn't waste his breath explaining and instead said suddenly, "Next... I'm going to make you mine."

Yun Wanzhou froze. Her pretty face flushed scarlet, and terror began to fill her eyes as she instinctively shrank back.

Luo Xiu said expressionlessly, "I'm going to need you to cooperate."

Yun Wanzhou clenched her silver teeth, her eyes blazing with fury, her body trembling with rage.

How am I supposed to cooperate with something like that? I'd rather die!

"Sigh." Luo Xiu sighed softly. "Miss Yun, given your current situation, your only choice is to trust me. Otherwise, your fate will be truly miserable. I can assure you that the moment the convoy stops for a break, the thugs from the East District will be lining up for a turn with you five."

Yun Wanzhou was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I... I've never... This is my first time. In any case, it's not like I can resist you now. Do whatever you want."

Luo Xiu chuckled. "You were pretty brazen that night at the KTV when you and your sisters were trying to seduce me, weren't you?"

"That... that was just an act," Yun Wanzhou mumbled, her head hung low, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"Don't worry, I won't actually do anything to you," Luo Xiu said. "You just need to follow my rhythm and moan a little. You might not know how to *do it*, but you should at least know how to cry out, right?"

Yun Wanzhou's face flushed crimson. Recalling the movies she had secretly watched with her sisters, she nodded gently.

Luo Xiu spoke earnestly, "My goal is to make them think you're my women. That way, they won't dare to touch you for the rest of the journey."

Yun Wanzhou nodded lightly, indicating she understood.

"Go on, start moaning."

Yun Wanzhou hesitated for a second, then blushed and let out a few soft cries.

Luo Xiu suddenly broke into a wicked laugh, exclaiming loudly, "Well, well, Miss Yun, you're quite the handful! Tsk tsk, and you're even pink!"

Hearing these vulgar words, Yun Wanzhou's cheeks grew even redder. She glared at Luo Xiu, feeling both humiliated and furious.

SMACK!

Luo Xiu suddenly clenched his right fist and struck it forcefully into his left palm to mimic the sound, winking at Yun Wanzhou as he did.

Catching his meaning, Yun Wanzhou began making strange noises in rhythm with him.

「About two hours later.」

Luo Xiu climbed out of the carriage and returned to his seat, looking utterly drained, as if he'd been completely emptied out.

Zhu Hongmo glanced at him and shook his head with a smile. "Youth is such an advantage!"

Luo Xiu just smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Hongmo added, "If Tang Hong'e knew you laid a hand on her sister, she'd probably try to kill you."

Luo Xiu arched an eyebrow. "Since she had the courage to let her sisters go undercover, shouldn't she have been prepared for this outcome?"

"That's true," Zhu Hongmo mused. "For what they call justice, these people don't even care about their lives, let alone their bodies and dignity."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu fell silent, his thoughts drifting to Su Shenyun.

Time ticked away.

Around three in the morning, the convoy stopped at a farmhouse to rest.

Zhu Hongmo nudged Luo Xiu's shoulder. "Get out and take a break."

Luo Xiu opened his eyes groggily and stretched.

"Will Tang Hong'e show up?"

Zhu Hongmo unbuckled his seatbelt and smiled meaningfully. "Aren't you fond of fishing? Why don't you try to reel in the big fish, Tang Hong'e, right here?"

...

The farm was vast, surrounded by green hills and forests that created an oppressive atmosphere. After getting out of the car, Luo Xiu tried to check the map on his phone to get a rough idea of their location, but there was no network signal. This place was truly remote.

However, Luo Xiu was certain that the convoy had long since left Sea City and was probably even outside Henghai Province.

"General Luo, let's go inside and get something to eat," Zhu Hongmo said.

Luo Xiu nodded. After all that activity, he was indeed quite hungry.

After their meal, Luo Xiu swaggered to the back of the truck, opened the cargo door, and carried Yun Wanzhou out.

"Don't be long, General Luo," a passing underling from the East District called out with a knowing look.

The other men from the East District all stared at Luo Xiu with envy.

Luo Xiu scanned the crowd and announced sternly, "You all watch the other four women for me! They're all mine! If anyone dares to lay a finger on them, I'll chop his hands off!"

"Heh heh, don't worry, General Luo. We wouldn't dare covet your prey."

"We'll watch them for you!"

Then, carrying Yun Wanzhou, Luo Xiu walked towards the small grove beside the farmhouse.

Once they were in the woods, Yun Wanzhou struggled down from his arms. She steadied herself against a tree and stared at him, her face full of shame and anger.

"When you play the villain, you're genuinely convincing."

Luo Xiu chuckled. "Have you made up your mind yet? If you have, tell me what I need to know."

Yun Wanzhou countered, "Are you really one of us? If so, why don't you know our objective?"

Luo Xiu thought for a moment. "To be precise, I'm not really one of you. We just have a cooperative relationship."

"Then can you lend me your phone?" Yun Wanzhou asked. "I need to contact my superiors."

Luo Xiu handed her his phone without hesitation.

However, there was no signal. With a look of helplessness, Yun Wanzhou could only return the phone to him.

Luo Xiu said, "Zhu Hongmo's plan is to use you as bait to lure Tang Hong'e here and then kill her."

Hearing this, Yun Wanzhou's eyes widened in shock. "Doesn't that mean Sister Tang is in grave danger? Luo Xiu, if you're really on our side, you have to find a way to contact Sister Tang! Tell her not to come! I'm begging you!"

Luo Xiu frowned thoughtfully and suddenly remembered the earpiece Wu Xin had given him the previous night. It was actually a small, wireless communication device.

He took the earpiece from his pocket and fiddled with it for a moment. After switching it on, he placed it in his ear and was met with a burst of static.

"What is that?" Yun Wanzhou asked.

"I'm not sure, but it should be able to contact the outside."

BANG!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the direction of the farm. The unexpected sound made both Luo Xiu and Yun Wanzhou jump. It was immediately followed by a growing commotion.

"It must be Sister Tang! She's here!" Yun Wanzhou cried, her face filled with panic. Without another thought, she bolted toward the farm.

"Hey, wait!" Luo Xiu shouted, about to chase after her. But just then, the static in his earpiece vanished, replaced by Wu Xin's urgent voice.

"Luo Xiu! Respond if you copy!"

"Respond if you copy!"

"Luo Xiu, what the hell are you doing?!"

Luo Xiu pressed the small button on the earpiece, replying with some irritation, "I copy, I copy. Stop shouting."

The earpiece went quiet for a moment before Wu Xin's angry voice came through. "Why are you only putting it on now?!"

Luo Xiu scratched his head. "Uh... my bad. I was busy, and Zhu Hongmo was right next to me, so I completely forgot to put it on. Besides, I don't really like wearing things like this. It's uncomfortable."

"Did you wear it when you were with the Big Sister?" Wu Xin asked coldly.

Luo Xiu quickly changed the subject. "So, what's your situation? Are you guys planning to make your move?"

"You never turned on the earpiece, so we couldn't get a lock on your location," Wu Xin said. "We've lost you. We don't know your exact position."

Luo Xiu frowned. "Then what was that gunshot just now?"

"What gunshot?"

Luo Xiu paused. "Isn't that Tang Hong'e making a move?"

"Tang Hong'e?"

Luo Xiu paused again. "You're not with Tang Hong'e?"

Wu Xin also seemed taken aback. "Why would you think I'm with Tang Hong'e? Luo Xiu, what exactly is happening over there? We just pinpointed your location at Heiyun Mountain. Are you surrounded?"

"Damn it... for fuck's sake!" Luo Xiu suddenly cursed. "So after all this time, it turns out those women weren't our allies after all! Look, Wu Xin, just get a lock on my position and follow me. I need to take care of something first."

Wu Xin had clearly pieced things together. "You're really not cut out for this line of work," he said gloomily. "You're too dumb."

"But you still have to rely on me to get the job done, don't you?" Luo Xiu shot back, indignant.

"Whatever," Wu Xin said. "Right now, you need to find a way to keep Tang Hong'e in check and make sure she doesn't disrupt our plan. And this time, you absolutely must deliver the goods to the final destination!"

"Alright, alright, I get it!"
