The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 380 - 350: Saving People

Yujing ManorQiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing arrived at the manor an hour later, Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu had news.

Gu Yanjing hung up the phone, Qiao Yuxian asked, "Sed Manor?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said, "Their last whereabouts disappeared into Sed Manor’s territory, there’s an eighty percent chance they’re there."

Yujing Manor’s influence spans Luoshide Avenue, both overt and covert.

Looking for two people isn’t actually difficult.

This is also the reason why Qiao Yuxian decided to seek help from Yujing Manor.

"Have the people been transported out of Sed Manor?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Very unlikely." Gu Yanjing said, "Transporting people out, even the smallest actions would be detected. Our people have already secretly surrounded the outside. Previously there wasn’t, afterwards there won’t be either."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, then looked at Gu Yanjing and said, "Is Mr. Gu interested in what’s inside Sed Manor?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her, paused, and asked, "What’s the chance I’ll leave you here?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Yuxian symbolically thought for a moment, "Zero, I guess."

Gu Yanjing was silent for two seconds, pulled her hand, and walked outside: "What do you find handy?"

"Anything works. I’m not picky." Qiao Yuxian finished speaking and added, "I need something light, heavy things are hard for me to carry."

Gu Yanjing recalled her holding that Barrett rifle, couldn’t help but glance back at her.

Qiao Yuxian gave him a particularly sincere smile.

Gu Yanjing believed her, took her to the armory, and handed her a pocket-sized pistol.

Qiao Yuxian put it in her pocket, then picked out two more guns herself.

Gu Yanjing brought over two sets of clothes.

Both changed into them.

Qiao Yuxian’s set was the smallest size available in the manor, but a men’s style, still too large.

She casually adjusted her clothes, and followed Gu Yanjing out.

It was the same driver who had just brought them over that drove.

In the car, Qiao Yuxian tied her hair while looking at the driver and asked, "How should I address you?"

"Uh..." The driver’s voice paused, "You can just call me Laoer."

"Laoer?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes." The driver responded just as Gu Yanjing’s cold, indifferent voice sounded, "You can also call Ruhuai."

Qiao Yuxian paused her hair-tying hand, turned to look at Gu Yanjing.

Driver Ruhuai lightly coughed, displaying an uneasy state at the driver’s seat, shifting his position, "Um... Sis, my surname is Qian."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, politely nodded, acknowledged him, then looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing said, "Him, and the three you saw earlier at the front hall. Their names come from... Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon."

"Rufeng, Ruhuai, Ruxue, Ruyue?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said.

"That’s... quite elegant." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing tucked a strand of her hair back for her.

Qiao Yuxian smiled at him.

Qian Ruhuai sensed their warmth and said, "The elegance refers to them."

"It’s not really like that." Qiao Yuxian said, "Elegance naturally consists of these four elements, none is dispensable. So it certainly includes you."

"You’re very kind." Qian Ruhuai gratefully said.

Qiao Yuxian finished tying her hair, leaned back in the seat, and said, "I’m the embodiment of kindness."

Qian Ruhuai chuckled.

Gu Yanjing looked at him.

Their gazes met in the rearview mirror, causing Qian Ruhuai’s heart to skip a beat, his grinning instantly retracted.

Qiao Yuxian looked out the window, not noticing their unusual interaction. Then found a topic and asked, "Who chose the names for you all?"

Qian Laoer glanced at Gu Yanjing, didn’t dare to speak.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, Gu Yanjing said, "Rufeng chose them. The names are Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, and the surnames are Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li. The sequence is ranked by strength."

"Qian Er, that’s not bad, ranked second." Qiao Yuxian said.

Qian Er chuckled, viciously said, "Someday I’ll be number one."

"Ambitious." Qiao Yuxian said.

Qian Er didn’t dare laugh again, sneaking a chuckle in his heart.

...

They reached Sed Manor’s territory.

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing, along with Zhao Rufeng and Qian Er and a group of people quietly entered their territory and silently infiltrated Sed Manor.

"This way." Qiao Yuxian pointed the way.

Gu Yanjing took a glance at her, following her.

Sed Manor was also quite large.

Gu Yanjing initially thought they would have to wander around the manor for a while.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, Qiao Yuxian led them straight to the dungeon here.

Upon reaching the surroundings of the dungeon, Gu Yanjing discovered, Sed Manor had two dungeons.

The one they arrived at was the inner one.

Outside there’s another, seemingly acting as a cover for this inner dungeon. Without familiarity with this place, finding the inner dungeon would be difficult.

Gu Yanjing was already accustomed to Qiao Yuxian occasionally surprising him.

But Rufeng and Ruhuai, these two brothers, clearly displayed faces of astonishment and were full of confusion.

However, neither of them dared to ask.

Swiftly and silently, the outer guards were dealt with. Four people entered the dungeon, others stood guard outside.

Once inside, Qiao Yuxian said, "There are two levels in total."

Gu Yanjing looked at Rufeng and Ruhuai.

Both nodded, separately heading to two sides of the basement level.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian went downstairs.

Gu Yanjing said, "Madam is quite familiar with this place."

"Four years ago, I came once." Qiao Yuxian said, "For fun, to explore the terrain."

"Then, how about Yujing Manor?" Gu Yanjing opened two doors, finding no one.

"I also visited." Qiao Yuxian said, "Judging by physique, I probably had fought with Rufeng."

Gu Yanjing glanced at her, "So it was Madam."

He recalled the incident.

It was the only time Yujing Manor was intruded upon, yet the person left safely, without leaving any traces, they had no clue who entered Yujing Manor, nor the purpose?

It seemed it really was just a sightseeing tour.

Still on the tracking list to this day.

Gu Yanjing kept thinking, then opened another door, finding someone inside.

It wasn’t Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu, but a girl, lying on the bed, clothes slightly disheveled, but her face and clothes were clean.

Having heard the door open, she instinctively curled up, covering her head, her body trembling constantly.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian exchanged a glance.

They didn’t have time to explore what types of people were detained in this dungeon, closed the door, Qiao Yuxian said, "I’ll check that side."

Sed Manor’s people would soon discover their intrusion.

They needed to hurry.

"Be careful." Gu Yanjing said.

"Okay."

They split up, Qiao Yuxian checked ten rooms, finally finding Zhou Yunbing and Han Yangliu.

As soon as she opened the door, the two hugged each other and started shouting.

Due to fear, their voices were loud.

Qiao Yuxian quickly entered the room, shut the door.

"Yunbing, Yangliu." Qiao Yuxian called them.

The two didn’t hear her at all, huddled together, heads buried, continued voice assault.

Qiao Yuxian stepped forward, patted their shoulders.

Still, they didn’t raise their heads, reached out to hit to the side.

Their strength was great, Qiao Yuxian could even feel the wind generated by their swats, if she hadn’t dodged quickly, Zhou Yunbing’s manicure might have scratched her.

"My family is rich, call my father, any amount is fine, don’t hurt us, don’t hurt us." Zhou Yunbing said, trembling.

Qiao Yuxian shook them forcefully, "It’s me. Yunbing, Yangliu, I’m Qiao Yuxian."

Their flailing hands and shouting stopped. After a while, Han Yangliu secretly raised her head to glance at Qiao Yuxian.

She saw Qiao Yuxian dressed in black, wearing a black mask.

Qiao Yuxian hastily removed the mask.

Han Yangliu looked her over and buried her face again, crying, "They found someone who looks exactly like Yu Xian to send us off."

Zhou Yunbing cried even louder upon hearing this.

Qiao Yuxian: "......"
