"I think you are very powerful, we can cooperate to resist the enemy." Due to his life experiences, Jiang Cheng said these words without batting an eye; on the contrary, he was very sincere.

"Brother Jiang, you're exaggerating. Haven't we been cooperating all along?" Shao Tong's skin was as thick as Jiang Cheng's for once, and neither of them was willing to show weakness.

Unable to drive Jiang Cheng away, Lu Qin had no choice but to join him and the other, closely lurking behind a bush, observing outwards through the gaps in the branches.

In another location, Fatty and Yao Shunyu were together. Fatty was sweating for Jiang Cheng; in his eyes, Lu Qin and Shao Tong were equally great threats.

"What is Doctor doing?" Although Fatty had good eyesight, he still couldn't see the scene in the bushes. He was worried that Doctor would be set up.

Yao Shunyu lowered his voice to comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Jiang has his own plans. He's worried that Lu Qin and Shao Tong will play tricks, so he personally went to keep an eye on them."

"Play tricks..." Fatty felt that Yao Shunyu's words had a deeper meaning.

After confirming that there was no immediate danger, Yao Shunyu quickly explained, "Brother Fugui, don't you find it strange? I mean, the encounters of Li Bai and Zhu Jie. Perhaps the misfortunes of these two were not entirely the First Madam's fault. I suspect Shao Tong and Lu Qin also contributed."

Fatty's pupils constricted slightly upon hearing this. "Are you saying they used their abilities to interfere..."

"No, I'm not sure either, it's just a guess. I don't think Brother Jiang can be sure either, so he went to keep an eye on them. That way, if they want to use their abilities to interfere, they won't escape Brother Jiang's eyes." Yao Shunyu greatly admired Jiang Cheng's abilities.

"Damn, what if they first use their abilities to interfere with Doctor's judgment, and then attack Tang Qisheng? What should we do?" Fatty asked in a panic.

Yao Shunyu gave Fatty a reassuring look regarding this question. "Don't worry, that possibility is almost non-existent. The more terrifying the ability, the more restrictions there are on its release, and the greater the consumption. Brother Jiang and Tang Qisheng are relatively far apart. I don't believe the two of them can simultaneously brainwash Brother Jiang and Tang Qisheng."

"To take a step back, if they really have such an ability, then there's no need to be so nervous. That guy named Shao Tong has a very clear mind. If the seven of us let them brainwash and trial-and-error, it shouldn't be difficult for them to find a way out."

Just as Yao Shunyu finished speaking, Fatty suddenly heard a faint rubbing sound near his ear.

"Scrape—"

"Scrape—"

…

Fatty grabbed Yao Shunyu's shoulder and lowered his position. The two of them huddled together, hiding behind a stone slab in a pavilion.

Yao Shunyu nervously scanned the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual under the bright moonlight. Further away, it was shrouded in a faint darkness, the night growing thicker and thicker, like a mass of ink that couldn't be dissolved.

"What's wrong?" Yao Shunyu asked anxiously, having not noticed anything unusual.

"She's coming." Fatty also lowered his voice. "I heard footsteps, getting closer and closer. It's the First Madam."

"Footsteps..." Yao Shunyu listened carefully again for a while, but still heard nothing.

Just as he was about to send a message to Jiang Cheng, he suddenly realized that Tang Qisheng, who had been constantly looking around, had suddenly stopped, then turned his head and stared straight in one direction.

And that direction was the direction Fatty heard the sound.

After a moment, a figure staggered out of the shadows.

Cold sweat instantly appeared on Yao Shunyu's forehead. He couldn't understand why Fatty's hearing was more acute than Tang Qisheng's, who was the person involved. This seemed to be more than just luck. Yao Shunyu was sure that Wang Fugui was hiding a big secret, but he soon relaxed. After all, no matter what Wang Fugui became, he was sure that this person's essence would not change. Yao Shunyu even had a bizarre idea that, seemingly near Wang Fugui, the door in his body was much more stable.

"Finally here..."

Tang Qisheng stared intently at the First Madam's stiff steps, a sense of unfamiliarity arose spontaneously. He was sensitive enough, so he was sure that the First Madam had changed during the time she was away.

As he looked up and down at the First Madam, Tang Qisheng quickly confirmed that his guess was correct. The First Madam had indeed changed. Her steps were no longer completely rubbing against the ground, but rather she took one step, and then dragged the other foot on the ground, which was how the rubbing sound was made.

Including this time, the First Madam had changed several times. Each time she attacked someone, the First Madam would change the next time they saw her. There was obviously a problem.

But Tang Qisheng didn't have much time to think. Before long, the First Madam shuffled to a position not far from where he was hiding. This was an excellent opportunity.

Tang Qisheng made full preparations. When the distance was only a few meters, he flashed out of his hiding place and appeared almost face to face in front of the First Madam.

He wasn't nervous about this step, because Zhu Jie had already demonstrated it for him. He learned Zhu Jie's movements and walked steadily towards the First Madam step by step. There was nothing unusual in this process. The First Madam behaved very quietly.

He stopped in front of the First Madam on purpose, and a night breeze came, gently blowing the First Madam's red hijab, making the scene a little strange.

Tang Qisheng no longer hesitated. He held his breath, flashed to the First Madam's side, and then leaned his head to look at the basket. The basket had now lost its lid.

Everyone's attention was focused here. Fatty saw Tang Qisheng flexibly leaning his head, but in the next second, Tang Qisheng froze.

Fatty's heart skipped a beat and he secretly cried out that something was wrong, he had been tricked again.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after only a short second, the situation instantly reversed. Tang Qisheng moved again. He retracted his neck, raised his head, and his face was full of doubt, and a hint of indescribable fear.

"It's empty."

Tang Qisheng was next to the First Madam, so naturally he didn't dare to make too much noise, but his mouth shape was very standard. Yao Shunyu helped Fatty translate.

Now not to mention Fatty, even Yao Shunyu was stunned. He never expected that such a key basket would be empty.

And at the moment, Jiang Cheng was watching Lu Qin and Shao Tong, so there was no possibility of being brainwashed.

This disrupted everyone's initial deployment, and what shocked everyone even more was that Tang Qisheng didn't know what he was thinking of, but a fierce look appeared on his face. He let the First Madam's path go by, came to the First Madam's side and back position, and then stretched out his hands towards the First Madam's red hijab.

Instead of directly lifting it, he touched it little by little upwards from about the chin position through the hijab. Although it was not very clear, Fatty was sure that Tang Qisheng's hands must be shaking violently at this time.

This was a smart man, touching it through the hijab was obviously more stable than directly lifting the hijab.
