> Resumos de Love on the Turquoise Land
Lin Xirou's operatives, searching for Chen Fu's car at the docks, were startled to find it floating in the sea nearby. Meanwhile, Mr. Meng's child unexpectedly fell ill, and Yan Tuo, having already arranged for a specialist at the International Children's Hospital, earned his heartfelt gratitude. Mr. Meng confirmed that his son could transfer to an available bed at the hospital. Yan Tuo seized the opportunity to discuss a traditional Chinese medicine extraction technology, nine years in development.
He presented a contract, highlighting his authoritative position within the Roushan Group, and proposed a direct partnership. Impressed by the favorable terms, Mr. Meng agreed to the collaboration, acknowledging that he was "the fish that took the bait." Back at the docks, Lin Xirou’s Fourth Brother managed to pry open the car’s trunk, only to recoil in horror at the sight of a companion’s lifeless body.
The waterlogged car offered no forensic clues, but the skull wound clearly indicated the work of the Mad Blade. Enraged, Lin Xirou subjected Jiang Baichuan to brutal torture, demanding an explanation for his earlier claim that the Mad Blade skill had died out, yet one of her comrades had fallen victim to it. Despite the excruciating pain, Jiang Baichuan maintained that the Mad Blade skill was extinct, though he conceded the blade itself was in someone else's hands.
He then provocatively labeled Lin Xirou's group "Earth Fiends," referencing ancient tales of an evil bird that devours its mother, emphasizing their historical reputation as universally despised and heartless scum. Overwhelmed by the torment, Jiang Baichuan eventually lost consciousness. A video of Jiang Baichuan’s torture circulated among the South Mountain Hunters, sparking outrage and a collective resolve to formulate a rescue plan immediately. Quecha, witnessing Jiang's suffering, despaired over her perceived inadequacy, unable to even draw a bow.
Yu Rong approached her, demonstrating the proper technique for drawing a bow and patiently guiding her on how to generate power and aim. Nie Jiuluo watched the video with profound regret, blaming herself for not properly disposing of the Earth Fiend's body, which had brought such grave danger upon their organization. She promptly decided to advance their rescue timeline.
That evening, Lin Xirou’s forces were on high alert at the Rare Stone Garden, unaware that Nie Jiuluo and Xing Shen were stealthily making their way inside. Working in perfect synchronization, they swiftly incapacitated the guards. However, their search of the backyard yielded nothing; Jiang Baichuan had already been moved. Upon learning that the South Mountain organization had targeted the Rare Stone Garden, Lin Xirou suspected an internal mole. Shortly after, Yan Tuo returned home.
Lin Xirou pointedly asked him about his recent trip to Heyang and whom he met. Seeing himself on the surveillance footage, Yan Tuo candidly admitted to meeting a young woman he'd connected with on a dating app. Rather than reprimanding him, Lin Xirou encouraged him to take Feng Mi, who was currently cooped up in Xicang, out more often. Yan Tuo was initially reluctant but then received a text message from Nie Jiuluo, informing him of Jiang Baichuan's capture.
Later, Yan Tuo intentionally shared his dinner plans with Feng Mi at Miya Kitchen's Mucheng branch, specifically mentioning table 4C, a detail meant for Nie Jiuluo. Nie Jiuluo, already dining with a friend, engaged in an animated discussion about artistic creation, skillfully weaving coded messages into her conversation for Yan Tuo's benefit, without alarming Feng Mi or her own friend.
Nie Jiuluo conveyed her visit to the "Rare Stone Garden", which was a "dead end", suggesting they needed to "take initiative" and referring to a "list". Yan Tuo, in turn, subtly communicated his predicament, indicating he was being closely watched by Feng Mi and that he needed help. Nie Jiuluo's friend mistook their cryptic exchange for a discussion about their business and artistic endeavors. Through this coded interaction, Nie Jiuluo successfully obtained background information on the other four Earth Fiends.
She promptly forwarded this intelligence to Xing Shen, instructing him to initiate investigations into these individuals. However, Xing Shen remained deeply suspicious of Yan Tuo and requested a direct meeting. Nie Jiuluo firmly declined, understanding Yan Tuo’s delicate position. She explained that his special status meant a direct confrontation with Xing Shen was ill-advised at this juncture and that they needed to strategize for the long term to proceed with Jiang Baichuan's rescue.
Later that night, Yan Tuo managed to contact Xing Shen by phone but was unable to meet in person due to his restricted situation. To prove his loyalty, he explained that his sister, Lin Ling, was being held as Lin Xirou’s "blood bag," and he needed their help to rescue her. Xing Shen then provided him with a new location, Hanlin, and instructed him to find a way to get there.
Meanwhile, Jiang Baichuan had been relocated to a secluded compound, where he discovered other South Mountain organization members, surprisingly unharmed, also being held captive. Jiang, defiant as ever, questioned his captors, likening them to animals and arguing that the difference between animals and humans was not as great as they imagined, suggesting that Roushan Pharmaceuticals could significantly reduce its animal testing budget. Yet, despite his words, his fellow captives could only reassure each other, repeating, "Just staying alive."
