Chapter 401 They started fighting without even saying a word!

When Luo Zixi saw this group of people, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly. They really dared to mess with the powerful!

Perhaps these people have become so accustomed to lawlessness that they think they can do whatever they want in this remote rural area without anyone interfering!

"Oh, you're a geologist? Come in, is there anything you want to ask?"

Luo Zixi did not turn them away; instead, she politely welcomed them in.

Those guys pretended to be refined and cultured, but after seeing Luo Zixi's appearance, a few of them were amazed by her beauty and their eyes also held a different kind of meaning.

She could clearly sense what others thought of Luo Zixi, especially those with bad or malicious thoughts.

At this moment, she felt even colder. These people were truly scum and degenerates, already harboring filthy thoughts upon first meeting.

Luo Zixi did not expose them, and quickly led the people inside. The village secretary, having nothing else to do, also stayed nearby.

As a result, this group felt that with the village secretary present, they couldn't easily make their move, so they said to the village secretary:

"Comrade Party Secretary, thank you so much for your trouble. You can go ahead and get back to work. We'll have a good chat with Comrade Xiao Luo."

The village party secretary is also a guy who knows how to read people's expressions; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach the position of expenditure manager. He also has to carefully consider the intentions of those above him during meetings. He may not be a genius, but he is definitely very adept at interpersonal relationships.

Upon hearing the other person's words, he immediately understood that they didn't want him to stay there.

He considered Luo Zixi's formidable skills and the fact that she was a highly educated intellectual; theoretically, she shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Luo Zixi has a fiery temper, and if these people don't watch their words and end up getting beaten up by Luo Zixi, then they'll be in big trouble.

But these geological researchers were comrades from the province, and they probably had something important to discuss with Luo Zixi, so it was indeed inconvenient for him to be there.

After thinking it over and over, the village secretary finally gave Luo Zixi an instruction:

“Young Luo, these comrades are all from the province. You need to cooperate well with their work and don’t get anxious or upset.”

The implication was clear: Luo Zixi should be careful not to offend anyone, otherwise it would be a greater loss than gain.

Luo Zixi rolled her eyes when she heard the village secretary's words, but in the end she still gave him a reassuring look:

"Uncle, don't worry. Don't you know how I handle things? I will definitely cooperate fully with these comrades!"

Luo Zixi responded to the village secretary with a smile. When the village secretary saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat, but he was too embarrassed to say anything openly. He could only give Luo Zixi a look before slowly leaving, looking back every few steps.

Before leaving, the village secretary gave Luo Zixi a few more hand gestures, telling her to control her temper and not to hit anyone...

Luo Zixi smiled and waved, indicating that he could leave.

As soon as the village secretary left, Luo Zixi calmly began to drink her tea. And you know what? Those ceramic teacups from that era were really sturdy. Pouring hot water from the large thermos, adding some tea leaves, and enjoying a cup of hot tea in the dead of winter was truly comforting.

The gang leader had assumed that Luo Zixi would ask them why they were there.

As it turned out, Luo Zixi was leisurely drinking tea, not in a hurry at all, and didn't seem to care about their arrival.

The others in the gang couldn't help but exchange glances, especially the few lecherous guys, who were starting to feel itchy inside.

Luo Zixi took a sip of tea and then poured herself a full cup of hot water.

Then, without warning, the teacup filled with hot water was suddenly thrown at the faces of the two guys who looked at him strangely.

Her technique was ingenious; she divided the boiling water in the teacup equally, splashing half onto each of their faces.

Most of the hot water directly scalded their eyes, causing them to cry out in agony.

They discovered that they couldn't make a sound at all. The pain from the hot water scalding their eyes was too intense, and they hadn't noticed that a silver needle had appeared on each of their necks without them realizing it.

There were six people who came together, and when they saw Luo Zixi suddenly attack, the remaining four immediately realized that the person in front of them was dangerous. They shouted and attacked together.

As a result, they all lay down in less than ten seconds.

The leader immediately realized that they had bitten off more than they could chew this time.

At this moment, everyone was unable to move. They hadn't even seen how Luo Zixi made her move before they all lost their ability to fight.

Luo Zixi then clapped her hands lightly, wiped them with a towel, and threw the towel into the charcoal stove to burn, as if she had dirtied her hands by hitting them.

That's really true...

"Tell me, which peak did you see when you came to Crescent Moon Mountain? Was it 'Fire Cave' or 'Water Cave'?"

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, the gang leader felt a chill run down his spine; she was clearly someone from this line of work.

"Fire cave" is their slang term, referring to a tomb that has been disturbed by previous tomb raiders. Some tomb raiders enter a tomb only to steal one or two treasures, leaving the rest untouched. Therefore, a disturbed tomb does not necessarily mean it is devoid of valuable items.

Archaeologists once discovered that an ancient tomb had been looted multiple times during its restoration, with dozens of different looting marks.

This shows just how ruthless and depraved these tomb raiders were.

As for "water cave", it refers to a tomb that has not been disturbed by tomb robbers and has plenty of water.

In her previous life, Luo Zixi had done various underground missions and had also dealt with tomb raiders. These people were greedy and vicious. If they were discovered by others during a tomb raid, they would immediately kill them to silence them. This was a common occurrence.

Sometimes, in order to embezzle some treasures, they would even bury their own teammates alive as a form of double-crossing.

In any case, Luo Zixi just couldn't bring herself to like these earthy rats.

At this point, the gang leader, displaying the pragmatism of a wise man, quickly bowed his head and admitted defeat.

"Our heroine, we mean no harm. We just heard that the Bai family's old house is quite old and wanted to come and see if we could find any clues we're looking for."

"We were just looking around and then left. We didn't mean to disturb you."

Luo Zixi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing their words. She went directly to the two lecherous-looking guys and stomped hard on one of their heads, saying:

"Really? I don't think his eyes are clean."
