After moving to the plantation, the Ghost King showed Duan Changqing his wanted notice.

The mask worn on the wanted list was exactly the same as the one worn by the person in front of them.

If it was someone who didn’t know the Ghost King, they would think the person standing there is the S-level wanted criminal, Ghost King.

But whether it is Duan Changqing or Xia Qing, they both knew that this person had nothing to do with the Ghost King.

“Who are you? What do you want to do?” Xia Qing looked at the stranger. Her companion beast, the honey badger, looked like it would rush over at any time.

The masked man sneered, but did not speak. Instead, he rushed towards Duan Changqing. At the same time, a snake with thick arms fell from the tree and bit Xia Qing.

The man is a sixth-level warrior, with a poisonous snake for a companion beast that has a hiding innate talent. This time, he came here to collect money to do things—the person who paid him asked him to capture Xie Yunnan.

He has been following behind this team, trying to catch Xie Yunnan, but unfortunately there was a strong man beside Xie Yunnan that he couldn’t beat.

He could only go with the next best option and kidnap the one in front of him instead.

The person who paid initially asked him to kidnap Xie Yunnan, but then gave him another sum of money if he kidnapped other people instead of Xie Yunnan.

After seeing the strength of this team, he actually didn’t want to do anything. But the payment was too much, so he still came, and took advantage of Duan Changqing and Xia Qing coming out alone.

Among the two people in front, the woman has some strength, but the man is obviously an ordinary person. If the woman wants to protect the man, she will not be able to exert her full strength, plus his companion beast is poisonous so it’s no problem to catch one or both people.

This man’s plans were quite comprehensive.

He attacks Duan Changqing to make Xia Qing, distracting her.

However, just as he rushed towards Duan Changqing aggressively, he tripped over something under his feet, and fell to the ground face down.

The man was a little stunned.

When Xia Qing saw that this person wanted to attack Duan Changqing, she was very anxious.

Their boss values ​​Xie Yunnan and Duan Changqing very much. Although she doesn’t know why, they were told to protect both people. She definitely can’t let Duan Changqing have an accident!

She asked her companion beast to block the poisonous snake, and was about to rescue Duan Changqing, but…

The assailant fell down by himself?

Xia Qing rushed up.

Her companion, the honey badger, also fought the venomous snake.

The rough-skinned and thick-skinned badger is not afraid of poisonous snakes at all!

Duan Changqing took a few steps to the side, found a dead tree and sat down, then watched the two fighting in front of him.

Both of them were level 6 warriors, and the battle was very noisy. With each fall and punch, some trees nearby were broken!

But Xia Qing kept pulling the person who suddenly attacked them to the side, so it didn’t affect him.

Duan Changqing watched people fight comfortably.

Due to heavy movements, after watching for a while, Dahao and Dahei arrived. Together with Xia Qing, they caught the mysterious attacker.

The mercenary who was beaten up by the three of them lost his calm. “F*ck!”

He could feel that the man with scars on his face was very strong, and he could also feel that the strength of these three people was not bad. But he never expected all 3 of them were sixth-level warriors!

Originally, it didn’t matter. He can take advantage of the woman protecting the original man. Even if he can’t catch this woman, he’ll be able to catch Duan Changqing.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to catch Duan Changqing, he fell!

“Who are you?” Xia Qing stepped on the man’s chest and bent down to pull his mask.

“I’m the Ghost King! You’d better let me go, or my subordinates won’t let you go!” The man said.

Xia Qing: “…” Sorry, we’re the subordinates of the Ghost King.

“The Ghost King is so weak?” Dahao sneered.

This person said: “I was injured accidentally, and my strength was greatly reduced. If you let me go, I can give you money!”

Duan Changqing looked at this man, and suddenly remembered the “I am Qin Shihuang, let’s make money” type of scam in his previous life.

This person pretending to be a Ghost King is too perfunctory.

Xia Qing took off his mask.

This man is not too young. He appeared to be in his forties, with squinty eyes and distinct lines, but was otherwise extremely ordinary.

“It’s even better if you are the Ghost King. The bounty for S-level wanted criminals is high.” Xia Qing slapped the man’s face with the mask on her hand.

“Aren’t you afraid of my subordinates seeking revenge?” The man was stern.

Xia Qing was very calm: “People live for wealth and birds die for food… You are the Ghost King, it’s a little dangerous for you to live… I’ll kill you and then go get the bonus.”

“Wait, I’m not a Ghost King, I’m just pretending!” The man said quickly. He’s a native of Hongye City.

He was not born in a big family, and the family didn’t have much money. After he became stronger, he made money by hunting exotic beasts as a mercenary.

But the speed of making money is too slow… He began to take some other jobs, many of which were illegal and criminal.

Such people are called dark mercenaries, and now, he is one of the best dark mercenaries in Hongye City.

As a dark mercenary, he actually worships the Ghost King, so he sometimes wears the Ghost King’s mask when acting.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Yunnan’s voice came along with the sound of footsteps. “Changqing, are you okay?”

Xie Yunnan was originally learning to hunt with the Ghost King, but there was too much movement here, so they hurried over.

Along the way, Xie Yunnan was afraid that something would happen to Duan Changqing. Seeing that Duan Changqing was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the person who was caught.

Seeing this person, Xie Yunnan’s expression changed.

He knew this face.

In the memory he suddenly got, it was this person who threw him into the exotic beasts, causing him to be bitten to death by the exotic beasts.

According to this person, it was Yan Yuge who asked him to do it.

Is this Yan Yuge’s person?

“Yunnan, what’s the matter with you?” Duan Changqing looked at Xie Yunnan worriedly. After Xie Yunnan saw this man on the ground, he seemed a little emotional.

“I’m fine, I’m just afraid that you had an accident.” Xie Yunnan smiled at Duan Changqing.

“I have Xia Qing to protect me.” Duan Changqing walked over to Xie Yunnan and held Xie Yunnan’s hand.

Xia Qing glanced at Duan Changqing, feeling weird.

When they were fighting just now, why did she feel… Duan Changqing was not afraid at all?

Is this person a little stupid and doesn’t know how to be afraid?

Or does he feel the enemy is too weak and is fearless?

Xia Qing couldn’t figure out the situation, so she simply told the Ghost King what happened.

The Ghost King said twice: “He fell so neatly.” This person fell while catching Duan Changqing. It’s definitely Duan Changqing’s handwriting.

“Yeah! Fortunately, he fell, otherwise Duan Changqing might have been captured by him.”

The Ghost King was looking forward to this person taking Duan Changqing away.

But he can’t say such things in front of Xie Yunnan.

The Ghost King said: “Take this person down, interrogate him, and find out who brought him here!”

“I’ll go too!” Xie Yunnan said. He wants to know what the hell is going on with this man!

Most interrogations can get a bit bloody. The Ghost King originally didn’t want his son to see that kind of scene, but after thinking about it, he agreed. “Okay, you can come with us.”

Xie Yunnan followed Xia Qing and the others a few dozen feet away. Because the interrogation will be a bit bloody, none of them wanted to do it in front of Duan Changqing.

That said… Duan Changqing was too calm from start to finish?

The four of them were a little puzzled, but ignored it and focused on interrogating the origin of the attacker.

This person was sent by Yan Yuge, who asked him to capture Xie Yunnan. He said that if he could not catch Xie Yunnan, he could capture others.

When Xie Yunnan saw a real interrogation for the first time, he was actually a little uncomfortable, but he didn’t have time to think about it.

All he felt was anger.

In that memory, Yan Yuge wanted to kill him. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, he already married Duan Changqing!

He has had nothing to do with Liao Muye from beginning to end.

Why did Yan Yuge still do this?

Of course Yan Yuge had to, because he found that Liao Muye was very concerned about Xie Yunnan. Even after Xie Yunnan got married, he sent someone to stare at Xie Yunnan.

He wanted Xie Yunnan to disappear.

However, from the beginning to the end, he only targeted Xie Yunnan. The money was given by someone else, and had nothing to do with him. That person wanted to  borrow Yan Yuge’s hand to test the Ghost King.

After finishing the interrogation, Xie Yunnan brought the man to the Ghost King, and asked: “Master, what should we do with this man now?”

“Let me go, I’m just doing this for money…” The man begged for mercy.

“Even if it’s just money, aren’t you still harming people?” Xie Yunnan said coldly.

The Ghost King noticed that Xie Yunnan’s mood was a bit wrong, and was about to say something when he heard Xie Yunnan ask, “Are you the one who took Duan Changqing away from me a few days ago?”

The captured mercenary: “What?” Today’s his first time making a move!

The Ghost King said hurriedly, “It must be him! I say, no wonder he looks familiar!”

The mercenary: “???”

The Ghost King said again: “Kill him! He probably didn’t do anything good!” If he’s killed, he can throw the pot onto this person!

After the Ghost King finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of the mercenary.

Xie Yunnan was stunned for a moment. Although he was killed by this person in that memory, to kill him… these words fell like thunder in his ears.

He was an ordinary person not long ago!

The Ghost King didn’t make a move.

His son doesn’t seem to intend to kill… Is it bad if he kills?

But if he doesn’t… how should they deal with such a big person?
