Chapter 80: Chapter 80: I Hope You Can Cooperate a Bit

“For safety’s sake, hand over all the weapons on you, and I’ll check them. I’ll return the ones I consider non-threatening to our camp,”

Fang Xiaocao said to Ye Lingchen, with her arms crossed.

“Ah, still inexperienced,”

Xiaocao muttered to herself.

“I should have searched them when I first tied them up, but I got too caught up in asking questions. Now, this is awkward.”

Xiaocao was mentally summarizing her experience.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, the three from the Ye Family exchanged glances, feeling that something was off about the sequence.

But since Fang Xiaocao had suggested it, they didn’t feel it was their place to say much, so they cooperated obediently.

If they didn’t cooperate…

The Aquarius Gun was already drawn…

You couldn’t bet on there being no bullets in the Aquarius Gun, could you?

Seven steps away, the gun is fast!

Within seven steps, the gun is not only fast but also precise!

From a distance, Lin Meng and Qian Xia might be able to dodge.

At such a close range…

Even gods would have to take their licks.

Ye Lingchen took out a handgun from his waist.

Lin Meng and Qian Xia each took out two daggers.

Along with the Mountain Splitter Dagger on the ground, those were all of their weapons.

“You actually have a gun?”

Fang Xiaocao asked, surprised at the silver handgun.

“Issued by the family,”

Ye Lingchen typed on his phone.

“Why don’t they have any?”

Fang Xiaocao raised an eyebrow, asking.

“They’re not good at shooting.”

Ye Lingchen typed out the words for Fang Xiaocao to see.

“I don’t believe it!”

Fang Xiaocao said with a chuckle.

“Xiaozhou, search them!”

She ordered Wan Xiaozhou.

“Okay!”

Wan Xiaozhou nodded in response.

“Turn around!”

Wan Xiaozhou told Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen, resigned to his fate, obediently turned around with his hands over his head.

Now, Ye Lingchen was really afraid of Wan Xiaozhou.

This little lady, she specializes in hitting the face!

Wan Xiaozhou searched Ye Lingchen and turned to Fang Xiaocao with her hands spread to indicate there were no hidden weapons.

Fang Xiaocao nodded and pointed at Lin Meng.

Wan Xiaozhou nodded and walked toward Lin Meng.

“Are there any weapons hidden on you?”

“If there are, hand them over quietly!”

“If I find something while searching, that won’t be good for you.”

Wan Xiaozhou asked Lin Meng in a stern voice.

Lin Meng glanced at Ye Lingchen, bit her lip, and took another dagger out of her pocket.

“I just hid one dagger,”

Lin Meng said in a low voice.

Wan Xiaozhou took the dagger and turned to look at Fang Xiaocao.

“Search!”

Fang Xiaocao said emotionlessly.

She hadn’t expected anything on a whim but actually found something.

They really did hide weapons.

Since they were being sneaky and didn’t trust her, Fang Xiaocao had no reason to trust them either.

After all, taking them in was already a risky move.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew that Capricorn and six others were lying in ambush further along the road to the encampment,

And since Fang Xiaocao urgently needed more manpower and had her eye on the abilities of Lin Meng and Qian Xia, hoping to use the two of them to confront Capricorn together,

She would have never taken in the three from the Ye Family under normal circumstances.

Because…

Under such circumstances, taking in people with unknown origins is a very risky behavior.

Wan Xiaozhou nodded and began to search Lin Meng’s pockets.

“You…”

Lin Meng felt annoyed, but as soon as he began to speak, he was glared at by Aquarius.

Lin Meng resentfully glanced at Aquarius and shut his mouth.

Under someone else’s roof, one must lower their head.

As a bodyguard trained by the Ye Family, Lin Meng had enough insight to recognize this. @@novelbin@@

Wan Xiaozhou searched Lin Meng thoroughly and even pulled out a card-thin folding claw knife hidden inside the boot lining of Lin Meng’s training boots.

Wan Xiaozhou glared at Lin Meng and coldly said, “You’re not very honest, are you?”

With that, he kicked Lin Meng in the stomach.

“You…”

Seeing this scene, Qian Xia became furious and was about to make a move.

But just as he opened his mouth, Aquarius pointed a gun at his face. Staring into the dark muzzle, Qian Xia swallowed and froze on the spot.

“Behave yourself!”

Aquarius said coldly.

“No understand!”

Ye Lingchen was in a panic, his speech unclear as he yelled out.

“I didn’t plant the knife; it’s too dull to stay.”

Ye Lingchen hurriedly explained to Fang Xiaocao.

Listening to Ye Lingchen’s words, Fang Xiaocao frowned.

She said, “Type it out, I can’t understand.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingchen nodded and quickly typed out a message.

“Don’t be impulsive, I really don’t know what weapons they all brought, I told them to cooperate.”

Once finished, Ye Lingchen showed the message to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao nodded and said, “I’ll give you one more chance, better not play any tricks.”

Ye Lingchen nodded hastily, typed out a message on his phone, and showed it to Lin Meng and Qian Xia.

“Don’t be impulsive, cooperate, no funny business.”

Reading Ye Lingchen’s words, Lin Meng and Qian Xia both nodded.

“We will cooperate, we won’t cause any trouble,” Lin Meng said, getting up from the ground while holding his stomach.

“That would be best,” Fang Xiaocao said with a grave voice.

“Aquarius!”

Fang Xiaocao called out to Aquarius.

Aquarius, getting the hint, moved the gun away.

“Take it out!”

Aquarius said to Qian Xia, his voice stern.

Qian Xia looked at Ye Lingchen for guidance.

Seeing this, Aquarius frowned and slowly raised his gun.

In Aquarius’s belief, every team on the Blacklist could not have any unstable elements.

If any such elements were found within a team, they had to be eliminated immediately.

Otherwise, at a critical moment, it could very well cost the entire team and lead to many deaths.

Clearly, Qian Xia and Lin Meng, who had persistently refused to cooperate and harbored ulterior motives, were such unstable elements.

If it wasn’t for Fang Xiaocao’s restraint, Aquarius would have shot them and eliminated them long ago.

Receiving Qian Xia’s glance, Ye Lingchen quickly nodded to him, signaling him to cooperate willingly.

Qian Xia nodded and said, “I’ll cooperate. I’ve got seven Flying Daggers tucked into my belt and a folded claw knife hidden in my training boot.”

As he spoke, Qian Xia raised his hands to show Aquarius he could search him.

Aquarius let out a cold laugh and tilted his chin towards Wan Xiaozhou, saying, “You search him.”

Although Aquarius was hypnotized by Fang Xiaocao, her hypnosis merely planted a seed of loyalty and absolute obedience to Fang Xiaocao within Aquarius’s mind, without controlling his ability to think.

Thus, Aquarius was very cautious and had not lost the mindset of a top assassin from the Blacklist.

He didn’t personally search Qian Xia because he suspected Qian Xia might seize the opportunity to grab the gun.

Wan Xiaozhou nodded, searched as Qian Xia instructed, and indeed found seven Daggers on his belt and a folding claw knife matching Lin Meng’s, hidden in the boot’s lining.

Of course, Wan Xiaozhou didn’t fully trust Qian Xia.

After finding these items, he searched Qian Xia from head to toe, carefully ensuring there were no other weapons before nodding to Fang Xiaocao.

“Very good, I appreciate your cooperation,” Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

“Now, you’ve earned my preliminary trust, and so I’ve decided to assign these weapons,” she said cheerfully.

At these words, everyone was taken aback, looking at Fang Xiaocao with surprise.

“So what was the point of searching us?” Ye Lingchen thought to himself.

But he dared not say it aloud.

Afraid of getting hit!
