One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

Finally, he and Fu Rong intertwined their fingers.

"I also wanted to say that the reason I didn't want you to participate in tomorrow night's operation is because..."

Fu Rong's heart started pounding uncontrollably again.

Tell me why!

"I like you and I don't want you to be in danger."

Fu Rong's heart was completely melted by Lin Chen's words.

She asked shyly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Really, more real than real gold!"

"how to prove?"

"This is not easy!"

Lin Chen picked up Fu Rong and headed towards his room.

Fu Rong blushed and gave Zhang Linchen's chest a good thud with her little pink fists.

"Lin Chen, put me down!"

Lin Chen stopped and asked her with a smile:

"you sure?"

Fu Rong buried her head in Lin Chen's chest and remained silent.

"That means it's uncertain!"

not far away.

Qiu'er, who was wandering around after finishing her meal, gasped when she saw what was happening in front of her.

"You've already taken it down?"

Then, she silently gave Lin Chen a thumbs-up as he walked away.

"Boss, that was a brilliant move!"

"How to say?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from above.

The ball was startled and jumped two meters away.

"Black Pipe, when did you get up in the tree? You scared me to death!"

With a swift movement, the clarinet climbed down from the tree.

Why did you praise the boss's move as brilliant?

After watching the two enter the house and close the door, Qiu'er explained:

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Who is Fu Rong? She is one of the twelve top-tier talents under Ma Xianhong, and an extremely powerful swordsman."

"The most difficult to deal with in the whole village are undoubtedly the 12 top talents and Ma Xianhong."

"After observing for the past few days, you've noticed that each of these highly skilled individuals possesses a protective magic item."

"It's a magic weapon, not a magical artifact; it's very difficult to break through its defenses!"

"A combination of superior talent and protective magic weapon—each one of them is very difficult to deal with."

"Now that the boss has taken down Fu Rong, it's like Ma Xianhong has lost a major asset."

"Add Chen Duo and Zhao Guizhen, who was previously turned into lamb spine by Brother Xiao. Then there are only nine people left out of the 12 top talents."

"Oh, wait, I forgot one person!"

Qiu smiled and said:

"Let's eliminate Zhuge Qing as well. That guy is the boss's brother; he wouldn't dare to fight us."

"Four of the twelve great talents have been gone, leaving only eight!"

"That's like, before the war even started, the boss single-handedly wiped out one-third of the top talents. Isn't that amazing?"

Hei Guan nodded, then looked at the tightly closed door.

"Is Fu Rong really not going to make a move tomorrow night?"

Qiu nodded confidently:

"Of course! I might not admire his other methods, but I'm truly impressed by his womanizing skills!"

The clarinet shook its head.

"I would never use such methods; women are like tigers to me."

"No wonder!" Qiu'er laughed, looking at the clarinet.

"You're not young anymore, and you're still single!"

Black Pipe looked at Ball and retorted sarcastically.

"Aren't you?"

Qiu'er readily admitted it:

"Yes, I am, but I'm still young!"

It means that finding a girlfriend won't be a problem when I'm a little older.

Black Pipe raised the black cannon barrel on his arm:

"Women will only slow down my firing speed!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu'er seemed to connect it to something and burst into laughter.

"Indeed! You can't shoot too fast when you're with a woman!"

He looked at the door, which had already been turned off, and suddenly felt a little curious.

"Boss, how long will it take before we can fire the cannon?"

The black pipe looked at the ball speechlessly, ignoring him.

"What are you two talking about, firing cannons or not? Isn't the operation not starting until tomorrow night? Could it be..."

Xiao Zi's eyes behind his glasses lit up with excitement.

"It's starting tonight???"

As if remembering something, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly:

"Even if it starts tonight, it won't make much sense. Apart from Chen Duo, the higher-ups won't allow any killings. Given the relationship between the boss and Chen Duo, I can't very well kill her, can I?"

Qiu'er laughed when she heard Xiao Zizai's words.

A beauty mark under the corner of her eye looked somewhat alluring in the moonlight.

"Brother Xiao, we're not discussing the relationship between the boss and Chen Duo right now, but rather the relationship between the boss and Fu Rong."

"What's the relationship between the boss and Fu Rong?"

Qiu'er pointed with her chin at Lin Chen's door.

"It's about how often he'll fire the cannons?"

The naive Xiao Zizai became increasingly confused:

"What do you mean? Aren't only clarinets equipped with cannons? When did the boss start firing cannons too?"

"This cannon is not that cannon!"

Ball kept everyone in suspense and said:

"Maybe the boss has already fired a shell this time?"

The simple-minded Xiao Zizai understood through Qiu'er's words and the direction he was looking.

I finally understand what he meant.

Then, her face slowly turned red.

Old Meng walked over:

"You guys are still awake? It's so lively here!"

Qiu smiled brightly and was the first to greet them.

"We're going to operate tomorrow night. I'm a bit excited tonight and can't sleep, so I came out for a stroll."

Old Meng nodded, indicating that he agreed.

"I'm a little nervous. I have something to ask the boss: have you seen him?"

"no!"

"Saw!"

"do not know!"

The three answered at the same time.

Old Meng was completely dumbfounded!

He truly didn't expect that one of his questions would elicit three different answers.

Having it or not having it is understandable.

I don't know what's going on here.

"Cough cough!"

After Xiao Zizai finished speaking, he realized that what he said was somewhat nonsensical:

"What I mean is, I just saw the head, but I don't know where it went!"

"Oh!"

Old Meng looked at Wang Zhenqiu, the only one who knew where the leader was, and asked:

"Do you know where the boss is right now? Can you tell me?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

Before Qiu'er could answer, Xiao Zizai and Hei Guan'er spoke in unison.

Old Meng was even more confused, feeling that something was off about the two people tonight.

I didn't ask you any questions, so why are you answering?

and also.

Why don't you let the ball tell me where the head is?

"Of course, why not?"

Qiu looked at Lao Meng with a smile, as if she had found something interesting:

"You (Wang's Zhao) really want to go find the boss now?"

"Hmm! I want to ask him something!"

"Boss, he's in his room right now! If you want to go find him, hurry up, otherwise it'll be too late and you'll disturb his rest."

Without further hesitation, Lao Meng strode towards Lin Chen's room.

Qiu'er is right, it's too late and we're disturbing the boss's rest.

Xiao Zizai and Hei Guan'er should have told Lao Meng.

But for some reason, neither of them said anything.

Instead, together with Qiu'er, they watched with great interest as Lao Meng's departing figure walked away.

"Ball, that's a really wicked trick of yours! You've harmed three people!" Black Pipe said.

Qiu'er said with a grin:
