Qiu Shanyu had too many questions in her mind.
From the very beginning, Qiao Yuan had shown unforgettable hatred for her. She knew very well that this hatred was not because she had verbally challenged him to fight against two people at the same time.
She thought about it many times, and the answer she got surprised — Qiao Yuan did not agree to the duel because of her words, but because of his hatred for her!
Then, there was that bet!
Thinking about that, she couldn't help but touch her lips.
She would never forget that humiliation!
She had been bitten in the mouth by Qiao Yuan in front of countless people. Killing him wouldn't be enough to vent the anger in her heart!
After that, she had tried to find traces of Qiao Yuan through various means, but Qiao Yuan seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
However, she did not expect the disappeared Qiao Yuan to suddenly attack their base!
Qiu Shanyu's mind was a mess. How did Qiao Yuan know she was in Dongrui?
How did he know where she lived?
Why did he take such a big risk to attack her?
Who was the man who fought with Uncle?
There were too many questions in her mind. The most important thing was, what kind of hatred did this guy have for her?
"Reward?" Chen Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, but Qiu Shanyu knew it was not a smile.
Her heart kept sinking. Did she really have an irreconcilable hatred for him?
She couldn't help but say, "Mr. Qiao, I have a question. I wonder if I can ask?"
"Go ahead," Chen Mu answered calmly.
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Shanyu answered, "I can feel Mr. Qiao's hatred for me, but I don't understand it.
Including this time, this should be the second time I've met Mr. Qiao. What I did last time was a little offensive, but I believe Mr. Qiao would not hate a woman for such a thing. "
"Second time?" Chen Mu smiled.
Qiu Shanyu felt that there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
However, she had no time to understand the sadness in his smile. She hurriedly asked, "Is it not the second time?"
"Pomelo. Do you remember?" Chen Mu asked.
"Pomelo!" Qiu Shanyu cried out in surprise. She knew something was wrong!
Since he had clearly mentioned Pomelo, she knew that Qiao Yuan's hatred for her was real.
She forced a smile and said, "I did go to Pomelo, but only to take care of some of Faya's affairs.
But I couldn't remember where I had seen Mr. Joe.
If an ace like Mr. Joe were in Pomelo, I believe I would certainly have heard of him! "
She racked her brains but couldn't think of anyone named Qiao Yuan. It was reasonable to say that a card artisan at Qiao Yuan's level would be a top-notch ace in Pomelo. How could she have never heard of him?
Thinking about it, Chen Mu slowly nodded. "You really haven't seen me."
Qiu Shanyu heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could rejoice, Chen Mu's next words shattered her hopes. "But I've seen you, Hugo, and Butchie."
Qiu Shanyu's heart sank.
"You should still remember the Yang Clan Auction House, right?" Chen Mu slowly said, "Then you must remember its boss, Yang An.
I forgot to say, he's my friend.
Also, I believe you should have some impression of my name. It's Cao Dong. "
Qiu Shanyu's face turned pale. She looked at Chen Mu in disbelief. "You … You're Cao Dong?"
"Yes." Chen Mu was expressionless, but the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.
Qiu Shanyu took a few deep breaths. Although her face was still pale, her expression quickly returned to normal. She nodded calmly. "So, it's you!
We found out earlier. We were going to make a move on you, but the situation later messed up our plans.
Also … "She stared at Chen Mu, her gaze as sharp as an arrow." Should I call Mr. Qiao the numbered card master?
Hmm, the creator of the numbered series of cards, Mr. Cao Dong! "
Chen Mu admitted straightforwardly, "That's me.
You guys are very good to be able to find this information. "
"Hehe."
Qiu Shanyu's face was pale. There was no humor in her laughter. "The reason we noticed the Yang Clan Auction House was thanks to Mr. Cao's numbered series of cards.
Not only me, but all the forces were looking for the mysterious card master behind the Yang Clan Auction House.
It was just that we, Faya, were one step ahead. Unfortunately, Yang An didn't cooperate, so we didn't get the results we wanted. "She looked at Chen Mu deeply." Mr. Cao's identity as a card artisan has been misleading us.
Hehe, I didn't expect that after Heiner Van Sant, there would finally be someone who was both a card artisan and a card master!
Losing to Mr. Cao isn't a bad thing. "
She suddenly raised her head. "In our investigation, apart from the jungle communication technology of the Central Island Firm, there was another more mature communication signal in Pomelo. Could it be Mr. Cao's masterpiece?"
Before Chen Mu could answer, she nodded. "It seems so.
The core of communication technology is still the card. In Pomelo, only Mr. Cao has the ability to do this!
I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be proficient in card appliances. What a surprise! "
Chen Mu was secretly shocked. Qiu Shanyu's reasoning ability shocked him.
However, he didn't know that Qiu Shanyu was a hundred times more surprised than he was.
It had been hundreds of years since the implementation of the Van Sant System, and there hadn't been a person who was both a card master and a card artisan.
What was Cao Dong's background?
He knew card making, card artisan skills, high-level cardless sects skills, and card appliances!
The calm Chen Mu in front of her suddenly became unfathomable in her eyes.
What else did he know?
Who was he?
She didn't care about Chen Mu's card artisan skills and cardless sects skills. Faya didn't lack powerful card artisans!
However, his superb card making skills and jungle communication technology were enough for any group to get him at all costs.
"Why did you sneak attack the Tai-shu family?" Chen Mu didn't want to beat around the bush. That was the basic purpose of today's operation.
"Because we need the right to speak."
Qiu Shanyu's answer was so straightforward that it was beyond Chen Mu's expectation. He didn't expect her to be so cooperative.
"The right to speak?" Chen Mu was a little surprised. He couldn't understand the word.
Qiu Shanyu didn't hide anything. "You know that Moon Frost Island wants to establish the Heavenly Drum Village District Alliance, right?
Although everyone is trying to stop it, Jia Yingxia's methods are really superb. The establishment of the alliance is unstoppable. "
She glanced at Chen Mu and quickly explained, "However, there are countless forces in the Heavenly Drum Village District. Moon Frost Island needs to mediate the conflicts between all sides, so they have established a parliamentary system.
As one of the oldest families in the Heavenly Drum Village District, the Tai-shu family has the right to make decisions. "
"So you want to kidnap the three sons of the Tai-shu family?" Chen Mu sneered.
Qiu Shanyu said nonchalantly, "Tai-shu Yong rejected our suggestion. This old man can't see the times clearly. He's still dreaming of the glory of the past!
We naturally have to put some pressure on him. "She looked at Chen Mu thoughtfully." I didn't expect Mr. Cao to be interested in the Tai-shu family.
Oh, I remember now. The mysterious card artisan called the White Commander suddenly appeared in the Tai-shu family. Could he be Mr. Cao?
It's no wonder that our mission failed.
With an expert like Mr. Cao around, we are doomed to fail. "
Chen Mu was secretly shocked. Qiu Shanyu was able to guess his other identity with just one sentence from him. Her sharp mind was really shocking.
Qiu Shanyu was a little playful. "I just don't understand. Why would a person like Mr. Cao be interested in a declining family like the Tai-shu family?
I'm really curious about why you're willing to sacrifice yourself. "
After knowing that the other party's purpose had nothing to do with the Demonic Woman, Chen Mu's mood became even worse.
The Demonic Woman was the safest way to get rid of the green line on his body. When Chen Mu found out that Faya's target was the Tai-shu family, his first reaction was that Faya had the same purpose as him.
It was because of this thought that he did not hesitate to take the risk and sneak into Faya's base at night with Wei-ah.
Now he realized that it was just a misjudgment.
Chen Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. He raised his arm and looked at the increasingly beautiful green flower on his arm. One could imagine how depressed he was.
"The Green Mark!" Qiu Shanyu stared blankly at the pattern on Chen Mu's arm and exclaimed.
Chen Mu suddenly looked up. "You recognize this?"
"The Green Mark … It's the Green Mark …"
Qiu Shanyu mumbled to herself in a daze. Her eyes were fixed on the green flower on Chen Mu's arm, completely ignoring Chen Mu's question.
"Someone is approaching." The silent Wei-ah suddenly sounded an alarm.
As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared behind Chen Mu and Qiu Shanyu.
The dazed Qiu Shanyu took a blow to her neck. Her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.
Chen Mu smiled bitterly. These people came at the wrong time!
However, he could only let Wei-ah pick him up and leave quietly through the window.
Under the cover of the night and the shadows of the buildings, Wei-ah safely left with Chen Mu and Qiu Shanyu. Along the way, they found several groups of card artisans.
The other party was able to find them so accurately in such a short time. Qiu Shanyu must have something to guide them.
"Wei-ah, let's go to the wilderness first," Chen Mu suddenly said.
In the city, there was a high chance that they would be exposed if something happened.
However, in the wilderness, they didn't have to worry too much.
Moreover, Faya had just ambushed the Tai-shu family. If they made a big fuss, they would immediately become a target for everyone.
Wei-ah didn't say anything, but he changed direction and ran toward the wilderness.
There were no so-called city walls in Dongrui, but there were very few people in the wilderness at this hour.
Chen Mu and Qiu Shanyu didn't walk along the main road. Instead, they went directly through the forest.
For a city like Dongrui, the wild beasts around it had long been cleaned up.
Moreover, in the depths of the forest, there would be a monitoring station at a certain distance. However, the monitoring station would only monitor the tracks of the wild beasts and wouldn't interfere with the behavior of the card artisans.
However, Wei-ah carefully avoided the monitoring stations along the way.
After going deep into the forest, Wei-ah stopped and put Chen Mu and Qiu Shanyu down.
