Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 161 - 134: The Complexity of Human Nature (Triple Co

The two exchanged a glance, secretly relieved that this made things easier.

Ai Shan was just about to reach out, when in the next second, Liu ng, who had been sleeping, suddenly sat upright, his eyes as big as copper bells staring fiercely at him.

"What are you up to?"

Ai Shan was frightened out of his wits by this sudden movent, his heart constricting sharply.

His hand froze in mid-air, the smile on his face instantly beca rigid, turning as pale as paper.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but felt like his throat was blocked by sothing, unable to make a sound.

Beck was also badly scared, his body trembling unconsciously, the towel in his hand almost slipping away.

He looked at Liu ng in terror, his brain working swiftly, trying to co up with a plausible excuse to explain their actions.

"I... I..." Ai Shan stamred, cold sweat dripping down from his forehead, rolling down his cheeks.

"Beck’s here, his car got stuck up front, I was just coming to call you for help." He spoke while stealthily hiding the ether-soaked towel behind him.

Liu ng snorted coldly, a hint of chill in his gaze, "Do you take for a fool?"

With those words, he swiftly reached out one hand and grabbed Ai Shan’s arm, while his other hand went straight to his neck, exerting force abruptly.

Ai Shan, being small in stature, was easily pinned down on the ground.

anwhile, Liu ng quickly stood up, delivering a kick to Beck’s calf.

"Ouch!"

Beck let out a scream, his body losing balance and crashing heavily to the ground, the ether-soaked towel flying out of his hand.

He curled up in pain, clutching his injured leg, his face full of agony.

Ai Shan was held firmly on the ground by Liu ng, his cheek pressed against the cold sand, choking on a few mouthfuls, coughing repeatedly.

He struggled desperately, flailing his arms and legs, but felt like he was being crushed under a mountain, unable to move at all.

"Liu ng, let go!" Ai Shan shouted desperately in terror.

Liu ng remained unmoved; instead, he increased the pressure, his knee digging into Ai Shan’s back, causing Ai Shan to scream in pain.

"Hmph, playing this ga with ? Do you know what I did before I retired?" Liu ng shouted in anger, his eyes full of disdain.

At this mont, Qi Yun lifted the tent flap and ca inside, exhaling a smoke ring without expression, looking at the two lying on the ground.

"Alright ng, tie them up."

Liu ng responded, not pausing in his actions, one hand continuing to hold Ai Shan tightly, the other reaching for a rope.

With skilled movents, in just a mont, he had Ai Shan’s hands bound behind his back, purposely tightening the knot, making Ai Shan gasp in pain.

After dealing with Ai Shan, Liu ng quickly walked over to Beck, who was still rolling in pain on the ground.

Liu ng grabbed his collar, lifting him off the ground, Beck grimacing in pain, "Stop... stop hitting!"

"Now you know fear? Too late!" Liu ng snorted coldly, saying this as he bound Beck’s hands securely with the rope.

Qi Yun stood to the side, silently watching all this, as he crushed the cigarette butt under his shoe, bending down to pick up the towel and ether bottle, examining them montarily, his expression growing colder.

"Boss Qi, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have been greedy, I don’t want this reward, please let go!" Ai Shan pleaded for rcy.

"Right, right! We don’t want the reward! Boss Qi, please forgive us!"

Qi Yun gave them a cold glance without saying a word.

Outside the tent, Mamati stood quietly, not entering, his eyes full of disappointnt.

Hearing the commotion, Ah Li ran over, scratching his head, confused, and asked Mamati: "What’s going on?"

Mamati shook his head at him, "Don’t go in."

Ah Li was stunned but heeded his words, standing aside.

At this mont, Qi Yun ca out of the tent and handed the items over.

Mamati took them and glanced at them, anger flashing in his eyes, "I never thought they dared to do such a thing, and to think I regarded them as brothers."

Earlier by the campfire, after speaking with Ai Shan, Mamati had already noticed sothing amiss with him, and after returning to the tent, he inford Qi Yun of everything.

Including the circumstances at the dunes yesterday when the items were first dug out, he didn’t hide anything.

The response he got was very calm, as if Qi Yun had already known everything.

This left him quite surprised, knowing he made the right choice; otherwise, they might never hire him again.

In their line of work, reputation was crucial, and if clients no longer trusted you, no amount of experience would be useful.

Then, Ai Shan’s voice rang out from inside the tent, "Mamati, I really know my mistake! Please speak to Boss Qi, spare this ti! I was just foolish for a mont!"

Ai Shan’s voice had a sobbing tone, filled with fear.

Beck also pleaded bitterly on the side, "Boss Qi, we really know our wrongs, we shouldn’t have been greedy. For Mamati’s sake, spare us! We vow to be good people in the future and never dare again."

Qi Yun looked at Mamati and asked, "What do you say?"

Mamati furrowed his brow, his eyes full of complex emotions, disappointnt, anger, and a touch of reluctance.

He was silent for a mont before saying slowly, "Boss Qi, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize their true character and nearly endangered everyone by bringing them in."
