Chapter 2170: Chapter 2171: Into the Tiger’s Den

“I think these words should be meant for you.”

Gu Yiran said, “Every time we encounter such situations, you are always the first one to charge in.”

“Because I’m awesome, isn’t that reason enough?” Lin Yi laughed heartily.

“Stop talking nonsense.” Gu Yiran seriously said,

“Permanent Village must be their stronghold; I reckon there are more people there. First, check your own guns. Generally, such people are daring and reckless, capable of anything.”

“Understood!”

Permanent Village wasn’t far from Victory Village, and after driving for about ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the village.

Lin Yi looked into the village and saw a long road at the entrance. Far away, he could spot sporadic lights. If nothing else, those lights must be from Permanent Village.

At this time, Li Hao’s car drove up and rolled down the window to say to Lin Yi:

“We’ll lead the way upfront, and you guys follow.”

Having said that, he stepped on the gas and surged ahead without another word.

“What an att.i.tude.” Zhang Zixin complained.

“This guy, from the beginning, has tried to show off in front of us, but Lin Bro has always put him in his place. He must be feeling bad, let’s just be more understanding, haha…”

Zhang Zixin laughed too, “Incapable yet pretending to be capable, serves him right to be embarra.s.sed.”

“Let’s go, there’s no need to fuss over them so much.” Gu Yiran said,

“Today I want to see what kind of demons and monsters are hidden inside.”

The road into the village was not very good; it was all dirt road.

Since it had just rained earlier, the road had not fully dried yet, and the whole road was covered with large and small ruts. Driving a sedan in, the cha.s.sis was already sc.r.a.ped beyond recognition.

“Hmm?”

Just as they drove into Sunjiu Village, Lin Yi suddenly muttered something, making everyone in the car tense up.

“What is it, Lin Bro?” Zhang Zixin asked.

“I just saw a spot of light by the roadside.”

“A light spot?”

Lin Yi nodded, “It was behind a tree, just a flash.”

“Could it have been a mistake? Perhaps a reflection from something else, considering the headlights are quite bright.”

“That’s also possible.”

Since it was a fleeting glimpse, Lin Yi was also somewhat unsure.

At this moment, all four people in the car became serious. In such an environment, any minor movement could lead to unexpected events.

…

Although Permanent Village was not located right along the roadside, it seemed to be a bit better than Victory Village.

At least there were significantly more brick houses.

In the center of the village, there was a clan hall.

The structure was entirely made of wood, giving off an antique feeling, very atmospheric of a bygone era.

Dark red lanterns swayed at the entrance, emitting streaks of cool air, connecting with an ambiance of an age long past.

Even though it was past eight in the evening, the lights inside were still on.

A middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese attire was wearing gla.s.ses and scrolling through records on his phone while also writing something down with pen and paper.

The man, looking to be in his forties, appeared very thin, his cheekbones protruding and his eyes small, exuding a chill that gave people a profound sense of depth, scary upon just one glance.

The man’s name was Liu Huasheng, and he was the spokesperson for the village.

Though not the village head, he was the one managing affairs in the village, and others had no say.

Sitting in two rows of seats below the clan hall was another man, about the same age as Liu Huasheng.

His name was Zhu Xiangrong, a subordinate of Liu Huasheng, responsible for handling many matters under him.

However, the appearances of the two gave starkly different vibes.

Zhu Xiangrong seemed much kinder.

“Boss, there’s been some activity in Victory Village, will the police suspect us?”

“If there were any issues, they would have reported in advance,” Liu Huasheng said,

“Besides, I just called Zhou Li. The police have already withdrawn, probably didn’t find anything. That’s the purpose of setting up a relay station here a year ago.”

After a few seconds, Zhu Xiangrong said,

“But these recent incidents have indeed caused quite a stir, I’ve seen a lot of information about it online, and it’s become headline news. We should be prepared.”

“Indeed, it’s not very safe here, let’s wait a bit longer, handle these things, and then it’s time to move.”

Zhu Xiangrong pondered with a grave expression, “I’m really afraid they might raid this place, and we wouldn’t even have the chance to retreat.”

“That’s something we can’t help. Our upstream buyers are anxious, I still have to maintain some credit,” Liu Huasheng put his phone aside, got up to stretch his body and calmly said,

“Tell the guys down below to keep their heads down for a while, get through this period, and then it’ll be easier.”

“Understood.”

“Boss!”

Just then, a man in jeans and a white jacket came running in from outside.

“Boss, four vehicles have come outside, heading toward our village, and they might be police cars.”

Liu Huasheng and Zhu Xiangrong’s expressions changed instantly, “Where did you spot them?”

“On the camera at the village entrance, definitely not our cars.”

“It’s probably the police,” Zhu Xiangrong said seriously,

“But only four cars, the number doesn’t seem right.”

Zhu Xiangrong’s doubt was also Liu Huasheng’s.

If the other side had evidence, they would surely send a large force, not just four cars.

“Don’t panic just yet, there’s still some distance from the village entrance to here. Gather everyone to hide; I’ll meet these people and see what they are up to.”

Liu Huasheng was not fl.u.s.tered, appearing as calm as a cold machine.

Because he had prepared for the worst.

“Understood!”

The man who came in later ran back out, and Liu Huasheng straightened his clothes, called for some tea to be brewed, and leisurely savored it.

Due to the poor road conditions, it took about twenty minutes to drive from the start to the end of the village. Only under Zhou Li’s direction did the cars finally reach Permanent Village.

Entering the village, the cars slowed down, and Lin Yi looked around.

He noticed that the situation here was quite different from that of Victory Village.

Although it was already dark, there were still scattered groups of people outside the houses.

Some were chatting, others were playing cards, and some were even flirting.

But the biggest difference was the number of young people here, which seemed to be significantly more than in Victory Village.

Lin Yi pursed his lips; given such a place, the village’s young people should have gone out to work.

Even if there were any left behind, it shouldn’t be this many.

As Lin Yi pondered in confusion, Zhang Zixin said,

“Lin Bro, Ji Qingyan, Zhou Min has sent me a message; the clan hall ahead is their stronghold.”

“In such a place, there’s actually a clan hall?”
