"From the position of Qingcheng, it is obviously targeting you. Lai Juncheng is extremely skilled in conspiracy, rebellion, and assassination. You must be careful."

"Oh."

Lin Wen didn't really care, but Phoenix Nest finally played a role, which made him happy. This is a good start.

"You'd better quickly form a guard and establish your own intelligence network."

"No need." Lin Wen responded shortly.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Qin Luoshuang raised her hand to her forehead. "I know you're strong, but you're not invincible. I know a few people who are capable of killing you one-on-one."

"And..."

Qin Luoshuang's expression turned serious.

"If someone figures out your routines and habits, you will be very difficult to defeat. Once you fall into their trap, you will find that you cannot use any of your skills, and all of your actions will be targeted, resulting in a miserable death."

"Two fists are no match for four hands. It's an eternal truth."

"In addition, Lai Juncheng has no limits. Sometimes, he will use snipers, bombs, and artillery to eliminate people he considers a threat, even if it carries a huge political risk."

"Although he is unlikely to use these methods against you, you haven't been sheriff for long, and you haven't established a solid foundation here. It's not difficult for them to secretly bring in high-powered weapons."

She paused, then continued, "In addition, there is some uncertain news that Sheng Huaixuan may have big trouble soon, and may not be able to protect you. You'd better find another backer as soon as possible."

"You really need to be careful recently and not do anything out of line, or it could be dangerous. You'd better find a way to make up for what you did before. Let me think..."

Qin Luoshuang was worried and trying to find a solution, not noticing that Lin Wen was absent-minded.

"It's best to release those foremen, give them the money originally intended for their leader, form an alliance with them, and choose a representative to push them to the top..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Sheriff Lin here?"

A stranger's voice.

Lin Wen didn't respond, and Qin Luoshuang answered for him, "Yes, come in."

A middle-aged man walked in, with an ordinary face and no distinguishing features.

"Master Lin."

He respectfully handed over a letter with both hands.

"A letter from Qingcheng's leader, Xiang Henian. Please be sure to read it."

Lin Wen didn't take it, and Qin Luoshuang took it for him.

The man didn't object, "I'll leave now."

He bowed and silently left.

Qin Luoshuang knew immediately that it was a spy. She turned to Lin Wen, only to see him suddenly pounding his head twice, "Damn, it's not working again."

Qin Luoshuang didn't know what was wrong with him, and raised the letter in her hand, "Aren't you going to read it?"

"You read it." Lin Wen was annoyed. He had tried to break down the problem again, but the outcome was the same as last time.

Qin Luoshuang glanced at him with a complicated expression on her face. She hesitated for a moment before opening the letter. She quickly read it and looked up, saying seriously, "It should be a letter from Lai Juncheng, borrowing Xiang Henian's name to redeem the people you're holding."

"Oh."

Suddenly, Lin Wen jumped up, his eyes shining with excitement.

---

Near dusk, in an inconspicuous small courtyard in Huaizhen, Xiang Henian's messenger arrived late.

Lin Wen jumped up suddenly, "Did you bring the money?"During the day, after Lin Wen responded to the message in the way specified, Qin Luoshuang had been talking to him all day, analyzing the pros and cons of various situations and coming up with long explanations for every action and word. Lin Wen felt overwhelmed.

After finally confirming the location for the trade, Qin Luoshuang couldn't appear in person and gave him a miniature earpiece to hide in the shadows and continue to give him advice.

When the messenger finally arrived, Lin Wen felt like he was losing his mind.

The messenger bowed respectfully and said, "Master Lin, we were slow to react, please forgive us."

Qin Luoshuang said through the earpiece, "I told you that you responded too quickly and appeared too eager. They will take advantage of you. Wait for them to make the first move."

Lin Wen sneered, "Do you not have any money?"

The messenger calmly said, "Master Lin, if you release the person, we will guarantee that the money will be delivered and that the goods will pass through without any problems. Even if there are any issues, we will not go against you."

Qin Luoshuang whispered through the earpiece, "That's impossible. He's not sincere. It's just a negotiation tactic. Your impatience made him think that we are desperate and willing to accept whatever he offers."

Lin Wen said, "No money, no release."

The messenger bowed again and said, "It seems that Master Lin has not yet made up his mind. We hope to have another chance to meet." He turned and left.

Lin Wen also turned and walked towards Qin Luoshuang's hiding place. She was ranting, "Are you a fool? Are you brainless? Do you have any intelligence? Did you train your muscles into your brain? Why don't you listen to me?"

Lin Wen ignored her and reached out to touch her.

Qin Luoshuang screamed and pushed his hand away. She then remembered what he wanted and gave him the gun, saying angrily, "Can't you just say a few words? Is Qin's Ice and Snow Fairy someone you can touch whenever you want?"

Lin Wen ignored her and shot the messenger, saying, "Collecting interest. How dare they send black people to negotiate with me?"

Qin Luoshuang was shocked.

After a while, she said, "Oh my god, how can there be someone like you? Besides earning a lot of hatred, what's the point of doing this?"

Lin Wen gave her the gun back and said, "Let's go. Contact them again and see if anyone else will come."

Qin Luoshuang covered her eyes and didn't know what to say.

"I feel like my future is bleak..."

To their surprise, Qingcheng agreed to send another messenger.

This messenger came quickly and seemed sincere.

He placed a suitcase on the table and said, "Five million."

Lin Wen agreed immediately, "Take me to the prison to get the person." He turned and left.

The messenger didn't suspect anything and thought that everything had been arranged in advance. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master Lin."

But what he received was a gunshot.

He didn't understand why until he fell to the ground.

Lin Wen was laughing inside. He earned five million and made two black people his allies. Xiang He Nian was truly a rare money tree. The messengers he sent were all black.Qin Luoshuang emerged from the shadows, her cheeks slightly flushed, and angrily said, "Can you not just touch me when you come up? Can you give me a look first? And, if you like shooting so much, can't you bring your own gun? Who dares to check you in your own territory?"

Lin Wen casually replied, "Guns disturb my Dao heart and hinder my cultivation."

Qin Luoshuang looked at him coldly, "I didn't expect you to be from the ancient martial arts school. Such old antiques are rare nowadays. Everyone now uses firearms and anti-firearms as a kind of martial arts weapon."

Lin Wen casually said, "Actually, if you used a sword, it would be much better."

Qin Luoshuang sneered, "No need, I have no aversion to guns. If you have one, I can even use a sniper rifle."

"And," she pointed at the corpse on the ground, "what about this?"

"Take it away."

The veins on Qin Luoshuang's forehead were clearly visible, "I'm asking you why you killed him?"

She covered her chest, which had a fairy-like demeanor.

"Why do I become so irritable and violent when I'm with you?"
