Chapter 359: Chapter 138: Seven Updates Today! Making up for the second update of yesterday, asking for votes.

For some reason, Sack only felt his mind momentarily hazy, his head empty, and his hands and feet not heeding his commands.

It wasn’t just Sack who felt this; Jing Haoran’s presence instantly attracted the gazes of everyone behind Sack.

When their eyes looked towards him, the tri-colored light in Jing Haoran’s eyes began to assault their brains.

...

When Sack came to, he found himself surrounded by a crowd pointing and murmuring.

It took Sack a very long time to clear his mind. He was puzzled as to why he was on the street, what these people were doing, and why they were looking at him with such strange eyes.

It wasn’t until one of his soldiers exclaimed in shock, "Captain, our military dog is gone. And why are you kneeling on the ground, and where are your clothes?"

Especially since in front of him, fluent international script read, "Meat for sale! One hundred bucks for a touch."

Due to his years in the military, his physique was strong and muscular, with features exuding a rugged battlefield presence, so some passersby had already thrown a hundred bucks into the broken pot on the ground, with a beautiful woman shyly touching his pectoral muscles.

"Ah!" Sack suddenly yelled, shoving the beautiful woman to the ground. "Get lost! I’m not here to sell meat."

"This man must be crazy, I clearly saw him write those words himself. He was shouting about wanting to make money. Now that I’ve given him money, he pushes me away; isn’t he a scammer? I’m going to call the police!" an angry woman on the side exclaimed.

The beauty and the elderly lady weren’t the least bit shy; instead, several soldiers blushed crimson, too embarrassed to care about the money, feeling as though they had lost all face.

Dressed in just underwear, Sack ran away with his troops.

Fortunately, they were in plain clothes; if they had been in military uniform, they would have been disgraced internationally.

"Boss, we were clearly robbing Gu Xiaoxi just now. How did it turn into this?" one of Sack’s soldiers asked, his face grave.

"That man is a problem! I think we’d all better be careful with Jing Haoran." Sack alertly recognized something peculiar about Jing Haoran. Just one look from him, and things had turned out like this.

Little did they expect, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers around Gu Xiaoxi.

"Gu Xiaoxi, you’d better pray we don’t run into you again. Otherwise, I won’t let you off so easily. Next time we encounter each other, make sure not to look that man in the eyes, understand?" Sack instructed.

"So what do we do now?"

"Quick, find the military dog. It doesn’t matter that the mission card is lost; I still remember the mission. The key issue now is that they took seven of our time bars."

...

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the blue bar in her hand and felt elated. Although they could only steal one at a time, with seven people together, that was still seven days’ worth of time.

"They must be fuming right now," Ji Xinyu said, wary of Jing Haoran’s capabilities to a hundred and twenty degrees. His eyes were frighteningly daunting.

Attacked by his psychic powers, people unwittingly acted according to his whims.

Stripped of clothing and selling meat on the street, the commander from Southern State Country must be infuriated to the point of vomiting blood by now.

"Serves them right; we told them not to mess with us, but they insisted on causing trouble," Jing Haoran said, arms crossed, as if reciting a scripture. Who would have thought that this seemingly harmless individual was the orchestrator of the entire event?

"Alright, let’s head to the target location. It’s already eight in the morning; we should get something to eat," Gu Xiaoxi said, feeling very hungry.

They couldn’t steal, they couldn’t rob, so were they supposed to work for others to get food?

Even if they knew how, they wouldn’t have time.

"How about we help out in a restaurant washing dishes for an hour in exchange for some bread?" Jing Haoran suggested with a sly smile. With his good looks, he was sure he could earn a decent amount of money. Maybe the boss would give them extra food to take away as provisions.

"I think it’s better not to! Haven’t you seen those ambushers all over the place trying to catch us? If we’re captured, it wouldn’t be worth it. Now that we’re all wearing trackers, they can easily find us. Let’s find the destination first. Once we take down that drug lord’s hideout, there’s bound to be food," Gu Xiaoxi said, clenching her fist with determination.

"I think that’s a good plan! Let’s go, we should hurry," Ji Xinyu said, full of excitement, eager to engage the enemy with live ammunition.

Although they had completed several missions before, they had ended too quickly to be satisfying.

"The target is sixty kilometers away. Looks like we have another long walk. If only we could find a car," Gu Xiaoxi said, putting away the map and looking up at the sky. At this rate, breakfast was out of the question, not to mention lunch.

They were in quite a pitiful state now, without even food to eat.

"Finding a car? That’s too easy. Watch me!" Jing Haoran said as he touched his handsome cheek and waved at Gu Xiaoxi, asking, "What kind of car do you want to ride in? I can find someone to take us to our destination."

"Are you sure?"

*

A moment later, a beauty driving a luxury business vehicle parked by the roadside, then enthusiastically welcomed them to ride in her car and expressed her willingness to take them to their destination.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that a man’s charm knows no borders! She had not expected Jing Haoran, at such a young age, to possess such capabilities.

Gu Xiaoxi was the first to arrive at the drug lord’s hideout.

It was a rural village, a stretch of white houses basked in the sunlight, exuding an air of tranquility everywhere.

"Could this place really be involved in crime?" Ji Xinyu found it unbelievable. Such a beautiful place would be marred by bloodshed.

But crime is omnipresent, not sparing any land because of its beauty.

"The three of us together will arouse suspicion, to avoid alarming anyone, I’ll go take a look around the village first. You two, with the military dog, lie in ambush here and at the same time search for weapons hidden nearby. When Yun Xiao and the others come, if action is needed, I will signal you," said Gu Xiaoxi.

She, too, felt that this place did not seem like it harbored criminals.

Nonetheless, since the superior orders were given, she had to go in and check.

"I’ll go with you! It’s not safe for a foreign girl like you to be here," Jing Haoran said, worried.

"Your worry is unnecessary. I think where she is, others would be in danger," retorted Ji Xinyu, out of words, as the other was already Young Master Quan’s wife. Why would this little soldier join the excitement?

Jing Haoran liked her, and it was so obvious.

Every time Quan Shaoqing looked at him, his eyes were filled with hostility. If it weren’t for the team’s need for him in the global competition, Jing Haoran reckoned he would have been expelled long ago.

As the team captain, Gu Xiaoxi’s orders were naturally followed by everyone.

In the end, she infiltrated the small town alone.

Jing Haoran went with Ji Xinyu in search of weapons while waiting for Yun Xiao to arrive.

Gu Xiaoxi let Xiao Xiao loose to find the location of the drugs, but reminded it to be careful.

She walked the streets of the small town, pretending to be a lost traveler, timidly admiring the flowers, plants, and trees on the sides of the street, while calmly and attentively listening to sounds around her.

Suddenly, she heard Xiao Xiao bark a few times not far away.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly moved forward and stealthily hid behind some green trees.

Behind her stood a newly built three-story house spanning thousands of square meters, its paint fresh and bright.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi, Xiao Xiao obediently lay down in the bushes, hiding.

Gu Xiaoxi then heard numerous voices coming from the house.

Two muffled voices said, "The goods need to be moved out by two o’clock this afternoon, everyone act quickly. In a few hours, the car will arrive. If anything goes wrong, Mr. Yi Si will take everyone’s lives."

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists, her eyes narrowed – Yi Si was a notorious drug lord.

The last time Number Seventeen went undercover, it was in one of his syndicate’s dens.

However, this Yi Si had never shown his face, and his hideouts were as numerous as ancient relay stations – countless. If one was taken down, they’d establish another one.

Because this man was incredibly meticulous, leading to no trace of him being captured up to this point.

"It looks like this place is genuine!" Gu Xiaoxi was shocked. At the same time, she was listening to the voices to estimate how many people were inside.

There were many people inside, along with the sound of machinery, so she deduced that there must be no fewer than thirty people inside the house.

With so many people, it was unrealistic for her, along with Ji Xinyu and Jing Haoran, to storm in; the three of them wouldn’t stand a chance.

Gu Xiaoxi decided she had to go back and wait for other team members to arrive. Or she needed to find other team members to accomplish the mission together. If the three of them spooked the quarry without being able to capture everyone, it would allow these people to escape. Should the mission fail, the loss would far outweigh the gain.

Just as she was about to step away to leave, the tightly closed doors of the big house swung open, and by bad luck, she came face-to-face with the man who opened the door.

The middle-aged man who opened the door immediately looked at her with wary eyes, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
