Chapter 564 The Shrewd Hong Taidi
I hadn't thought of that until Hong Taidi mentioned it; it was only then that I remembered.
The man that Long Nier dragged out was of medium build, about 1.7 meters tall, and with that build, he must weigh at least 130 pounds.
Even if I were to drag her, it would take a lot of effort, but Long Nier did it as if she were carrying a chicken to be slaughtered, without any effort at all.
A moment later, Long Nier walked to the altar, tossed the person in her hand aside, and floated away without a heartbeat or a breath.
"Ni'er, are you alright?"
I ignored the people on the ground and asked them a question first.
"Brother, I'm fine!" Long Ni'er offered her hand, saying, "Feel it if you don't believe me!"
Looking at Long Nier's slender, delicate hands, I held them in my hands and stroked them. They were so soft and tender, without even a callus. Where did she get such strength?
"Chirp!"
Perhaps I touched it for too long, because Xiao Ba let out a dissatisfied cry.
I flicked Xiao Ba's forehead and chuckled, "Little rascal, you're jealous now!"
"Chirp!"
Little Ba stretched out its paws, covered its forehead, and started yelling at me fiercely.
"Just touch it, just touch it!" I grabbed Long Nier's hand and raised it up, deliberately trying to annoy Xiao Ba.
"Ahem!"
Just then, Fatty Lin coughed twice and said, "Crazy, that's enough, I'm still feeling weak!"
"Why don't you just die of exhaustion?"
I snapped at him, released Long Nier's hand, and looked down at the person on the ground.
He is currently in a coma, his face is ashen, and apart from drag marks, there are no other obvious injuries on his body.
"Was that strange thing he did just now?" Hong Taidi said.
"Um!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "There's a small basement in the villa. He set up an altar inside. When I caught him, he had already been bitten by the dragon and was unconscious!"
"Big Dragon?"
Hong Taidi looked at Long Nier with suspicion.
Long Nier pursed her lips slightly, thought for a moment, and then parted her cherry lips slightly. A centipede-like insect emerged from between her lips, its bluish-black tentacles sweeping twice at Hong Taidi, as if to say, "My name is Da Long."
Hong Taidi's pupils contracted, his lips trembled slightly, and he said, "Understood!"
"Um!"
Long Nier nodded slightly, and the big dragon shrank back.
Fatty Lin nudged me lightly. I glanced back at him, and he made a kissing gesture. I gritted my teeth and silently replied with one word: Get lost!
I know what Fatty Lin means. He's talking about me. You'd better watch out when you kiss Ni'er in the future!
This guy is making fun of me!
"Xiaolin, Shisan, Nier, what do you plan to do with this person?" Hong Taidi asked, pointing to the man on the ground.
"Brother Teddy, do you have any suggestions?" Fatty Lin asked.
"right!"
Hong Taidi glanced at me and Long Nier and said, "Nier, tell me, is this person under your spell?"
"It's not a Gu poison; he was bitten by a dragon, so he's poisoned!" Long Nier said.
"Is this poison easy to cure?" Hong Taidi asked.
Long Nier glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "It's difficult to solve!"
"Then let's leave him alone and send him back to the basement. After we've cleaned up the Zhang family's old house, we'll leave immediately!" Hong Taidi said.
"Teddy, you mean we should just do our thing and pretend we don't know this person exists, right?" Fatty Lin asked.
"right!"
Hong Taidi nodded and said, "You know who sent this person, and you know their purpose. Since you know all that, there's no point in interrogating them or not. Just throw him back. After we leave, someone will naturally come to pick him up. If the Xuanmen Association doesn't rescue him then, their internal cohesion will definitely decrease!"
"Saving him, as you said, is extremely difficult. If the Xuanmen Association sees this, it will definitely serve as a warning to others. We already had Wu Peiwen last time, and now there's another one. If there are any more missions targeting you in the future, no one will step forward!"
"Brother Teddy, you're right!" Fatty Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
"I also think throwing them back is a good idea!" I chimed in.
"Fine, I'll throw him back!" Without another word, Long Nier bent down, grabbed the man's ankle, and walked into the villa.
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Watching Long Nier drag someone two meters away, Hong Taidi looked at me and said, "Thirteen, is Nier's execution ability really that strong?"
"Revenge is never delayed!" I thought for a moment and said.
"Teddy, is there anything else you want to say?" Fatty Lin asked.
"What I'm trying to say is that it's not easy to deal with you if you take them back and detain them. What if the Xuanmen Association acts unethically and calls the police to take advantage of the imperial power? Then we'll be in the wrong!" Hong Taidi said.
"Too!"
That makes sense.
What you imagine as a battle of wits is that both sides set up an altar, each using their own methods, and the loser is detained, with the forces behind them coming to ransom him.
In reality, once they know you're detaining someone, they'll immediately call the police.
There's a saying that goes something like this: what you think business warfare is about sending corporate spies to steal the other party's secrets, the real business warfare is about pouring boiling water on the other party's money tree.
As for the interrogation, as Hong Taidi said, there was nothing to ask.
The people behind this are the Chinese from Cochinchina within the Xuanmen Association.
There's no point in interrogating them; should we just rush over, cast a spell on them, and kill them all?
Doing this is useless.
As long as those big spenders who donated to the Xuanmen Association are still around, even if you kill off this batch, there will be another batch.
This batch has been made an example of, at least they know to be afraid and won't dare to act recklessly. The new batch might be too eager to curry favor with their benefactors and will try to take a hard line against us.
Maintaining the status quo is good. After we made an example of these elderly people twice, they don't dare to make any big moves and can only do some small things secretly.
In this way, there will be no damage.
It has to be said that Hong Taidi's move was brilliant; experience truly pays off.
"Teddy, you've got more tricks up your sleeve!" Fatty Lin had clearly figured it out too, and gave Hong Teddy a thumbs up.
"It's not that I have too many ideas, it's just that I've seen a lot of things in all these years of life!" Hong Taidi said with a smile.
Two minutes later, Long Nier returned, and Fatty Lin had also rested enough to continue chanting the "Scripture of Resolving Grievances" to help the deceased.
Half an hour later, the resentful aura that had been without its commander dissipated, so we packed up and headed back home.
After leaving, Hong Taidi, being cautious, sent two of his men to keep watch from a distant mountain using binoculars.
As expected, about two hours after we left, someone came and rescued the middle-aged man.
With that, the matter has come to a temporary end.
No sooner had this matter been settled than trouble came from Gambling King Lu's side. The sorcerer introduced by Wang Sanmu had arrived, and Fourth Aunt wanted us to go and support them.
