Chapter 43: I'm Jealous of Myself Every Day

It was noon, and the three of them were eating separately at the Xie family's dining table. After hearing the adjutant's words, Xie Shuyun's eyes lit up, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. "Qu Haicheng has the ability to control beasts, that dog must be his!"

“No wonder I couldn’t find him anywhere in Ancheng. If he was hiding there, the Yin energy of the Bogu Tower could completely conceal his presence.”

Xie Junya, losing his appetite, threw down his chopsticks, stood up, and said, "I'm going."

Wei Ye and Xie Shuyun followed at the same time. Xie Junya frowned and glanced at Wei Ye, who said seriously, "Don't talk about danger, I must go."

Men quickly gathered and surrounded the Bogu Tower completely. The person who reported the incident panicked a little when he saw the situation. Wei Ye gave him a bag of silver dollars and said kindly, "Fellow villager, don't be afraid. Just point out the location to me."

"Thank you, Boss Wei!" The man immediately led them around to the back of the Bogu Tower.

Although Boguta is called a tower, it is actually just a public, unclaimed cemetery. There are many skeletons in each building. The Xie family hired people to guard it, and incense is offered to them year-round.

In an inconspicuous corner, at first glance nothing seemed amiss, but a group of people searched in all directions and found a hole about the width of a person under a patch of grass, its depth unclear.

The adjutant said, "General, I'll take some men down to take a look."

“Qu Haicheng has been lurking in Ancheng for many years and has stolen many corpses from the Bogu Tower. He has probably dug a tunnel down there.” Xie Shuyun shook his head. “You are not familiar with him and may fall into Qu Haicheng’s trap. I’ll go down.”

Wei Ye immediately objected: "No, this old man is cunning and shrewd. Didn't you fall for his tricks last time?"

Xie Junya said coldly, "His life is Xie Shuyun's life, but my soldiers' lives aren't?"

"Why are you being so sarcastic? Speak properly." Wei Ye glanced at him.

This was the first time in a long time that Wei Ye's attitude was no longer cold. Even though he had been taught a lesson, Xie Junya's originally gloomy face softened, and he smiled slightly.

Those around them were secretly astonished; Boss Wei could really make the commander-in-chief change his expression so easily.

Wei Ye said, "I heard that when hunters catch cave-dwelling animals, they use smoke to drive the animals out."

Just as Xie Junya, who had finally calmed down, was about to praise him, Xie Shuyun laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you're so quick-witted. How come I didn't think of such a good idea?"

Xie Junya: ...Damn it.

Thick smoke billowed into the tunnel, and less than half an hour later, the sound of barking dogs rang out, and a fat, strong black dog emerged from another hidden opening.

Soldiers stood on all four sides, and immediately some of them went up to grab and kill the dog.

Everyone waited on high alert. Nearly an hour later, just when Wei Ye thought Qu Haicheng would rather be suffocated than come out, a thin, dark figure rolled out, coughing hoarsely.

As the adjutant approached, Xie Shuyun shouted, "Step back!"

Qu Haicheng, his back bent, even managed to throw a flying knife, which Xie Junya swiftly drew his gun and deflected. He then fired several more shots, crippling Qu Haicheng's limbs without hesitation.
