Chapter 360: Chapter 139: To Make Up for Yesterday’s Three Updates

The other party had blond hair and blue eyes, his gaze filled with wariness as he stared at her.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately responded with a composed smile, "I’m a traveler who got separated from my companions. I came here seeking some food as I haven’t had breakfast yet. Could I use your phone to contact my friends?"

The man gave Gu Xiaoxi a deep look, noting her well-proportioned figure, ice-clear skin, and her exotic charm always aroused a sense of guilt in men, especially when facing a lone little lamb.

The middle-aged man suddenly flashed a radiant smile, concealing the malice in his eyes, and said, "If you don’t mind, I can invite you in as a guest."

"How could I impose! Just lending me the phone or giving me some food would be fine," Gu Xiaoxi immediately replied, her smile innocent and sweet.

The man hesitated for a moment, thought it over, and after sizing up Gu Xiaoxi for a while, his gaze full of scrutiny and wickedness, he still seemed a bit wary.

After all, this was a crime den; they couldn’t allow a young girl to expose them. They would absolutely not lend the phone, but maybe giving her food...

"As long as you come with uncle, the food will be a sumptuous feast," the man said in all seriousness. Though his eyes shone wolf-like, he still pretended to be an ordinary citizen.

At this point, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t well refuse; if she declined and left, it would definitely raise his suspicions.

After all, criminals were more vigilant than she was.

In her mind, she quickly did her calculations, steadied her nerves upon the gentlemanly invitation from the blond-haired uncle, and then stepped across the threshold of the house.

Hiding under a tree, Xiao Xiao had been motionless all this time.

Before entering the house, Gu Xiaoxi stealthily gave a signal to it, "Retreat! Call for help!"

Once Gu Xiaoxi was inside, Xiao Xiao quickly darted out from the bushes and ran towards the nearby woods.

From the outside, the house appeared huge, and once inside, the space opened up even more, with shelves everywhere and workers and villagers busily making toy dolls.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s interest, the blond-haired uncle immediately started to introduce things to her, "We process toys here. Do you like these dolls? Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, monsters, and Ultraman? I can give them to you."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled naively, her skin like jade, looking all the more endearing. She picked up a fluffy doll and hugged it, but couldn’t help but silently marvel at the criminals’ tactics.

Using toys as a cover, even the simple villagers here were deceived.

She had just overheard a conversation, apparently between two people in charge, discussing in hushed tones.

She had accidentally stumbled upon it.

"I like this long-legged monster!" Gu Xiaoxi said, holding up one of the dolls and laughing.

At this moment, she looked like nothing other than an obedient little lamb; meanwhile, the lecherous gaze of the blond-haired uncle became increasingly apparent.

Shortly after, four muscular men joined him.

They spoke in a language Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t understand, obviously saying something to each other. Right away, the other four men’s gazes towards her turned sleazier.

Gu Xiaoxi played the part of the ignorant, a smile plastered on her face, seemingly glad to have found people to take her in.

A moment later, they served Gu Xiaoxi the best food they had.

After making sure their food was safe, she ate her fill and simultaneously gathered much information about them.

All those working here were villagers from the area, typically women who innocently thought they were just making toys.

And there were many young men employed as movers.

Gu Xiaoxi quietly explored every corner of the rooms, but couldn’t find their drug production site. She did, however, secretly tear open a long-legged monster doll and inside its cotton stuffing, she found drugs wrapped in wax pellets. These kinds of beads were usually placed inside the eyes and heads of panda dolls.

Sealed off from the air, they wouldn’t easily emit any smell and were less likely to be detected.

This method of crime was very old-fashioned, yet professional.

At least, she hadn’t considered that drugs could be trafficked this way.

"Miss, you shouldn’t wander around. We’ve prepared a room for you, so if you feel tired, I can take you to rest. We can take care of you," said the blond-haired uncle enthusiastically.

Gu Xiaoxi looked around curiously and perplexedly, "Isn’t this a processing plant? Can I stay here to rest?"

"Of course, you can!" he said as he immediately pointed towards the adjacent building, "There’s an underground passage that leads to that house over there. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll allow you to stay for a while."

Gu Xiaoxi caught on to the key point in his words, which was the underground passage.

Whether there actually was a passage leading to the house next door wasn’t important; it didn’t matter if he was deceiving her or placating her.

But he had reminded her that their drug manufacturing site must be underground.

Gu Xiaoxi looked outside, unsure if Yun Xiao had arrived. Even less did she know how many people were down there.

But one cannot capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den.

Number Seventeen had once gone undercover amidst villains for many years, so today, she’d take a glimpse at how wicked these bad guys really were.

Gu Xiaoxi touched her short hair and followed the blonde-haired uncle with a breezy demeanor.

A pile of rags was stacked in a corner of the warehouse, and as they were pulled back, a passage entrance was revealed.

It was pitch black below, and the blonde uncle beckoned to Gu Xiaoxi, "Just come down and you’ll be fine."

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t know if the other party was testing her, or if he simply thought she was a naive girl, easy to trick.

A normal person would refuse to go down such a passage with a stranger, wouldn’t they? If she agreed immediately, wouldn’t that be the same as exposing herself?

Gu Xiaoxi quickly took a few steps back and shook her head cautiously, "I’d rather seek shelter with other villagers. Thank you for your hospitality, uncle."

As she said this, she ran towards the warehouse exit.

Just then, with a click, the warehouse door closed. Six men, tall and brawny, with sleazy faces walked in from the doorway.

And the blonde uncle stood at the entrance to the passage, bursting into laughter, "Little lamb! You think you can just walk out of our place? Brothers, a foreign beauty in a foreign land. She looks so tender, she must be fun to play with."

Gu Xiaoxi had long seen through their intentions. She quickly retreated to a window and tried to push it open, only to find that the windows had been locked tight.

The blonde uncle, together with the six men who had entered, watched her frantic state and laughed in unison, "You won’t be able to escape."

They all approached Gu Xiaoxi, each with a malicious grin, obviously convinced that she couldn’t run away.

Gu Xiaoxi estimated in her mind that subduing these six men wouldn’t take more than a few moves. The outsiders were all villagers from this town, and she could handle them alone.

"Woman, why aren’t you running anymore? This whole town is mine," said the blonde man with a sly grin.

Gu Xiaoxi’s large eyes rolled around, then she faced everyone with an undaunted expression. "Then I won’t run. If you tell me exactly what you do here, I’ll stay and play with you," she said.

Her tone did not carry any hint of panic.

This puzzled the seven men, who glanced at each other, "Aren’t you afraid of us?"

"I’m already trapped here, what good would being afraid do?" Gu Xiaoxi replied indifferently, only adding to their confusion.

"You’re not an undercover agent sent by the military, are you?" the blonde man immediately became alert.

Gu Xiaoxi ran her hand through her short hair and chuckled, "Of course I’m undercover. I’m even the team leader of the drug enforcement unit. You’d better surrender now."

Her words clearly carried an air of bluster.

The men were startled at first but quickly calmed down, realizing that it couldn’t be that much of a coincidence. Besides, they knew who the leader of the drug enforcement team in Xuan State was; it was obvious this girl was just trying to scare them.

They also had to admit that this person was quick-witted, trying to scare them off with someone else’s status.

"You are clever, trying to escape like that. Hahaha! And you’re the team leader of the drug enforcement unit, why, I am Huo Tian, one of the top ten generals under Yi Si. Little girl, I’ll tell you the truth! I was always a bad guy, and I’m certainly not planning to let you go. Catch her! From now on, she will be our slave," Huo Tian roared with laughter. In a situation like this, Gu Xiaoxi was nothing but a lamb to the slaughter, and he, the butcher, had nothing to fear.

Gu Xiaoxi lifted her head proudly and smiled brightly, "Oh dear! Nobody believes the truth; it seems my acting is too good."
