I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 896 - 895: A Strange Combination

The car drove all the way out of the mountains. It had taken Beisitian two days and one night to travel this road the first time, finally finding that little mountain village on foot, and now she was just being driven out like this.The driver didn’t say a word the whole way; only the two thugs occasionally exchanged a few sentences. Beisitian paid close attention and realized that if she couldn’t sense the ebb and flow of their spirit, she would never have noticed the hierarchy between the three of them.

Maybe because Beisitian had been too quiet after getting in the car, the driver glanced back at her twice through the rearview mirror.

They hadn’t reached their destination yet, and Beisitian couldn’t afford to arouse their suspicion too early, so she put on a rich-bitch act and said, "You kidnapped me for ransom, right? Say it, how much do you want!"

Hearing that, and seeing the "I’ve got money, name your price" expression on Beisitian’s face, the doubt on the driver’s face faded a bit.

One of the thugs shot her a cold glance. If the driver weren’t in front, he would definitely shake this woman down once, then scare her half to death. Who was she trying to act all arrogant for?

But this woman’s good days were almost over anyway. The people in charge wanted medicine, and she was the main ingredient this time!

Of course Beisitian didn’t miss the mockery in the thug’s eyes, but she could only pretend not to see it.

The three of them didn’t respond, and Beisitian stopped talking as well.

To be honest, if she were here as a tourist, these rugged mountain roads would actually make for pretty nice scenery.

The car had been going for more than eight hours, and even with the driver’s spirit being a bit stronger than the average person’s, he couldn’t hold out any longer. They got off the mountain road and stopped to rest in a nearby village.

From how familiar they were with the place, this clearly wasn’t their first time coming to this village.

Beisitian had assumed this would be another Blood Circle village like the one she’d stayed in before, but it turned out this was just a transit point.

There were a lot of people in this village, about one-fifth of them outsiders: some were here as tourists, some backpackers planning to head into the mountains. A group like Qing Yan’s—three men and one woman—wasn’t unusual at all, it was just that the three men wearing identical clothes looked a bit strange.

So before entering the village, the two thugs changed into white T-shirts.

The arrival of Beisitian and the others didn’t attract much attention. While they were looking for a place to stay, a lot of villagers holding signs rushed up to compete for their business.

The two thugs chose a household near the village entrance and parked the car in the back. One of them turned and stared coldly at Beisitian, warning, "You behave yourself. If you dare draw attention and someone finds out, I’ll be the first to kill you!"

Seeing the fear appear on Beisitian’s face, the thug snorted in satisfaction, turned back around, opened the car door, and got out.

The other thug reached in and yanked Beisitian out. The three of them sandwiched her in the middle and headed toward the house.

The afterglow of the setting sun still lingered. This was prime time for villagers and tourists to be out and about. A bonfire had already been set up in the open space in the middle of the village, with many villagers and outside tourists gathered around it.

Singing, dancing, laughter, and cheers—completely opposite to the mood on Beisitian’s side.

The three from Qing Yan ignored the lively scene over there, completely unmoved. Who knew whether they’d just seen this sort of scene too many times, or they simply weren’t interested.

Just as Beisitian paused to look over there, another Jeep of the same model drove in.

Beisitian froze when she saw it, then her gaze dropped to the license plate—same number. It was the car that had been traveling with them before!

So they’d picked up the person they were supposed to?

Beisitian tried to peer through the dark-tinted windows, but she couldn’t see a thing.
