At noon, everyone did have a chance to enjoy the stir-fried hazel hen and braised rabbit. As there were nine people in total, the animals were initially insufficient to feed everyone, but Manager Lin managed to solve the problem with her superb culinary skill. She made the two dishes extremely flavorful so that one spoonful of the dish was completely enough to go with just one bowl of rice. After the meal, as there was still a layer of bright red broth remaining in the earthenware, Luo Tietou and Zhao Liu quickly took out their buns and dipped it in the broth before finishing them up bit by bit.

"It feels great! It really feels great!" Luo Tietou lay on the grass while rubbing his stomach. If Manager Lin could be there with them each time they were sent out for missions, he would go out to do missions willingly all year round. That would not be work anymore, it would be happiness, he thought.

"Looks like the hazel hen was too small to fill us up. Shall we go out and hunt a few more soon and ask Manager Lin to make that dish again at night?" Zhao Liu whispered.

"Sounds good, if we brought the animals, I'm sure she will have to make those flavorful dishes again even if she doesn't like it! The game has to be killed and cooked immediately to make delicious dishes." Luo Tietou kept smacking his mouth, as he reminded of the aftertaste of the lunch they had just now.

The handsome man glanced at them without saying a word, seemingly agreeing to their idea.

After resting for an hour, the fleet set off and entered a dense forest. Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou heard the sound of small animals running across the grass field, and immediately chase after them after taking out their bows and arrows. They were determined to hunt more animals and have a good meal at night.

The handsome man only looked at them but did not follow along. After moving forward for a while, he gradually felt that something was wrong and was about to ask the driver to slow down. But an arrow hit one of the horses that were pulling the carriage, which alarmed the rest of the horses. Several horses raised their hooves and neighed, and everything turned into a mess out of a sudden. Fortunately, the driver grabbed the reins in time to soothe the frightened horses, or Manager Lin would suffer a greater loss.

However, no damage to the goods does not mean that the situation would turn for the better. He saw a dozen sturdy men emerging from the dense jungle with machetes and bows in their hands. It was obvious that these people were seasoned bandits.

The handsome man approached Manager Lin's carriage for the first time and said softly, "Let's not resist and follow them first. Zhao Liu and Tietou are still behind, and they will find a way to save us." Although he was an expert in martial arts and would not have any problems finishing up the dozens of bandits, he was not confident that he could protect everyone in the fleet at the same time.

Lin Dan knocked on the window lightly with her knuckles to signal that she understood his instructions.

Everyone and their carriages were all pulled up to the mountain by the bandits. There was a small village in the mountain, where five or six basic mud houses were surrounded by wooden fences. These were obviously built hastily by the bandits who fled everywhere and had not yet built into an organizational scale, but they would definitely pose as a major issue to the locals in three to five years' time if no one had stopped them.

Lin Dan's hands were tied with a rope, and she staggered forward while counting the number of bandits as she walked. Since not many people could live in five or six mud houses, together with the number of bandits she saw along the way, she assumed there were about twenty or thirty bandits here in their hideout. There were some abducted women who were working, and they looked numb and expressionless. After being locked into the largest mud house, a fierce-looking man immediately walked up and asked, "Did we get any good stuff this time around?"
