After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 97 A Plan to Turn the Tide

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, Ouyang Mingyue quickly slipped back into the cell, restored everything to its original state, and pretended to be unconscious as she lay on the ground.

"Hey, time to wake up!" the old thief kicked the cell door and shouted.

Ouyang Mingyue pretended to have just been woken up, opened her eyes, looked around, and tried to get up but couldn't. She turned her head and looked at the old man: "Where is this? You're the old man from the tea stall. What did you do to me? Why can't I move?"

"Hehe, it's good that you can't move! As for where this is, you don't need to know! Just lie there, I'll bring you food in a bit!" After saying that, the old man hummed a little tune and left.

After he left, Ouyang Mingyue simply lay down on the ground and chatted with the two of them, "You've been here for a few days now, do you know why they arrested you?"

"We've been here for three days, and we still don't know the reason for arresting people. Miss Ouyang, could you please give us the antidote first?" Yi Weichun was extremely anxious.

Who knows? He, the most handsome man in the martial arts world, has been lying on the ground for three days!

"No rush, how much money are you planning to spend on the antidote?" Ouyang Mingyue thought to herself, these two are really useless, they've been here for three days and haven't even asked for any news.

"Why do you still want money! We're all from the same martial arts world, how can you keep talking about money!" Ye Zhaoxi couldn't help but question her again.

"Why can't I take money? Don't the herbs for the antidote cost money? What's wrong with people from the martial arts world? I've never seen you treat me any better. Every time we meet, you either want to take my horse or you want my antidote!" Ouyang Mingyue said unhappily.

"you!"

"Alright, Xi'er! Miss Ouyang is right, she needs to spend money to buy the medicinal materials to make the antidote. May I ask, Miss, how much does this antidote cost?" Yi Weichun came to the rescue.

Sorry, she didn't actually spend any money on this antidote; it was a Rejuvenation Pill that Long Mingyue had given them before.

Ouyang Mingyue felt it was a waste to give the medicine to these two people, but she really didn't bring any other antidote with her.

"One thousand taels each, please!"

"A thousand taels? Why don't you just rob someone?" Ye Zhaoxi was about to vomit blood. This was clearly Ouyang Mingyue taking advantage of her misfortune.

Am I not robbing her? Well, of course she couldn't say that!

"Don't worry, once you take my antidote, you'll know whether a thousand taels is worth it!" Ouyang Mingyue wasn't worried about the price at all; they would know the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill once they took it.

"Alright, a thousand taels it is! It's just that our two banknotes were taken by the thieves, so we'll have to pay later!" Yi Weichun just wanted the antidote as soon as possible; he really didn't want to lie on the ground anymore.

"Alright, I still believe you two won't go back on your word!"

Hearing the thief come down, the three of them fell silent instantly.

"Come on, it's time to eat!" The old woman, who was a thief, placed a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun at the cell door.

"How can I eat when you're like this?" Ouyang Mingyue finally understood why the two were so weak; they probably hadn't eaten much in the past three days.

"You want to eat? Climb over here and you can eat!" the old woman said maliciously.

"You! You arrested us and treated us like this, aren't you afraid of getting back at us from above?"

"Oh, so you do know that we have connections! Too bad, they only care about your blood, they don't care if you live or die!"

Blood? What kind of tactic is this?

"Why?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Why? We don't know either. We just need to deliver the goods. As long as we make money, who cares why!"

"You didn't just arrest us, did you?" Ouyang Mingyue slowly probed for information.

"That's right! Besides you江湖人 (jianghu people), we certainly won't let any passersby go! We sell the men to mine, and as for the women, there's always someone who likes them. The easiest to sell are the children. You江湖人 are the hardest to catch. We have to use a lot of drugs every time, and you're always poor. If it weren't for someone above buying you on a long-term basis, we wouldn't want you!" The old woman was probably a little happy because she had caught three江湖人 at once. When Ouyang Mingyue asked her, she didn't avoid the question but instead proudly talked about their achievements.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. I'm just too soft-hearted. You don't know if you'll even get a decent meal tomorrow!"

After the old woman left, Ouyang Mingyue sprang to her feet with a swift movement.

Following the same procedure, he opened his own cell door, then opened the other two's cell doors, and fed each of them a Rejuvenation Pill.

"Miss Ouyang, judging from what this old woman says, we're going to be moved tomorrow. What should we do?"

"Don't speak, quickly regulate your internal energy!"

Yi Weichun shut his mouth, sat up, and continued to regulate his internal energy.

What? Not only has the suppressed internal energy returned, it has even increased.

"This antidote?" Yi Weichun couldn't help but ask after finishing the treatment.

"You can feel the difference now, can't you? Was this thousand taels worth it?"

Yi Weichun nodded, and Ye Zhaoxi nodded reluctantly as well.

"Miss Ouyang, what should we do next?"

"If you ask me, we should take advantage of the fact that we've all recovered and go back now to kill that old woman!" Ye Zhaoxi was furious; she had never suffered such a loss before.

"Or, let's wait a bit longer. Didn't she say that we might not be able to eat tomorrow? That means we're going to have to move tomorrow. Once the people who are taking over arrive, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"Alright, we'll do as you say, young lady."

The three of them went back to lie down.

"Wake up! You're so carefree, you're all asleep! Old woman, move those two women upstairs, I'll move this man!"

Ouyang Mingyue was awakened by the noise and found that the two people had already started to move them.

After the three were moved to a room on the ground, they looked at each other and decided to act according to the situation.

"Sir, these are the three!" The couple led a masked man into the house.

"Only three? I paid you ten thousand taels!" the masked man complained.

"Oh dear, sir, those江湖人 (jianghu people) are cunning. They ran away as soon as they saw our teahouse. These are just three greenhorns, and we managed to take them down. Look at these three young men, they're quite good-looking!" the old woman complained.

"Alright, they're young-looking and probably have better blood. The master might like them. I'll take these three. I'll let it go this time, but next time I'll have to capture more! Go, move them to my carriage!" The masked man glanced at Ouyang Mingyue and the other two, and finally nodded.

"Alright, sir, don't worry! We only provide the freshest goods!"

The couple happily walked over to the three of them, intending to carry them onto the carriage as instructed by the adults.

The three of them exchanged a glance. Now!
