What would you do if a criminal who just committed murder was sitting next to you? And what if she knew you had just contacted someone outside? The atmosphere was suffocating, almost making it hard to breathe…
Dong Enyu lightly tapped the car door lock with one hand, but there was no response.
“I locked the main control lock,” Yong Le said casually, releasing Dong Enyu’s hand and regaining control of the steering wheel.
At this moment, Dong Enyu tried to pull her hand back, but found she had no strength.
It was as if all the energy in her body had been drained, and she couldn’t even lift her hand.
Her eyes drooped slightly, realizing that the drowsiness wasn’t from herself.
She stared at the half-finished bottle of mineral water at her feet and suddenly understood—she had been drugged.
She thought Yong Le was being considerate for once, but it was all a conspiracy.
She had been played…
“What do you want?” Dong Enyu found it difficult to even speak.
Yong Le shrugged indifferently at her words, saying, “I’ll decide when you try to escape.”
The implication was that she hadn’t yet decided how to deal with Dong Enyu, which made the woman secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Why… kill Han Ge?” Dong Enyu took a shallow breath and asked calmly.
Until now, she hadn’t thought Yong Le would kill Han Ge.
Their interactions were normal, and although Yong Le often caused trouble, Han Ge never cared.
Rather than saying Yong Le was Han Ge’s subordinate, it was more like Yong Le hid behind Han Ge while holding real power.
Since Yong Le had no ambition to climb higher, why would she…
“Because he found out about my side job,” Yong Le suddenly turned the steering wheel, exiting the highway.
Dong Enyu’s body tilted, awkwardly falling towards Yong Le, but fortunately not landing on her.
“There should be news about me now,” Yong Le said with no tension in her voice, as if she was looking forward to being on TV.
After helping Dong Enyu sit up, she turned on the radio.
They were driving on a remote industrial road, so the reception was naturally poor.
Amidst the static, the news anchor reported clearly, “At 10:10 this morning, the body of the former North District councilor was found at home.
The police analyzed the cause of death as a gunshot and pointed out that the murder method was the same as the previous two unsolved cases.
The killer might be the same person.
The police have currently sealed off the crime scene, and reporters will continue to…”
The same method…
Sniper rifle…
“Did you hear that? I’m on the news,” Yong Le turned off the radio news, smiling with great satisfaction.
Dong Enyu was in shock, unable to recover.
She recalled seeing the sniper rifle at Yong Le’s home and what she said about hunting.
However, the prey wasn’t wild boars in the forest but humans, the North District councilor.
When she was in Wutang, Yong Le had already killed two councilors, and now, this was the third…
“So… this is… what you call… hunting?” Dong Enyu squinted her eyes, feeling her eyelids growing heavier.
Her mind was a bit chaotic, a mix of the drug’s effects and her mental struggle.
“That’s right, my prey has always been those pigs in human skin,” Yong Le chuckled, saying, “Unfortunately, Han Ge had to meddle, having someone follow me.
Since he wanted to know what games I was playing behind the scenes, I showed him, but it came at a price.”
Death was the price Han Ge paid.
“Who hired… you?” Dong Enyu asked slowly, holding onto her consciousness.
Killing to silence, what was the motive behind it?
“I can’t tell you.” She wouldn’t say.
Dong Enyu knew she wouldn’t say.
Yong Le had too many gray areas that Dong Enyu couldn’t understand.
Ever since she entered Wutang, Yong Le’s actions always left her guessing.
Her behavior, thoughts, background, all were unknown.
However, the current part-time “hunting” Yong Le was something Dong Enyu dared not imagine.
What other secrets did she have?
“You…” Dong Enyu took a breath, looking up at the blurry red figure beside her, “Are you going to kill me?”
Her head began to spin.
There wasn’t much sleeping pill in the mineral water, but it was enough to prevent her from escaping.
Did Yong Le capture her to kill her?
After telling her so much, could she not kill her?
“Kill you?” Unexpectedly, Yong Le burst into laughter.
She turned her head and ruffled Dong Enyu’s hair like encouraging a schoolchild, making her hair messy.
“I said I couldn’t bear to.
Kidnapping you is just to extort some travel expenses.” That was her goal, after all, killing Dong Enyu wouldn’t bring any benefits.
Dong Enyu was like a ball, kicked around by everyone, and losing her wouldn’t matter…
Yong Le parked the car in the woods of Mid-Mountain, then carried Dong Enyu inside.
This place had few residents, mostly iron factories or cement plants, and many areas were already abandoned, not to mention the long-deserted industrial mountain roads.
As they walked through the forest path, Dong Enyu realized Yong Le was familiar with the surroundings, knowing that everything had been planned for a long time.
They walked for an unknown distance until Dong Enyu was put down, allowing her to see her surroundings clearly.
They had entered a low, dilapidated house, probably a simple shelter for farmers to rest in the past.
Dong Enyu was placed on an old spring bed.
Although the room was simple, it had everything necessary.
She looked around, and all the windows were sealed with iron plates.
When Yong Le closed the door, the room plunged into pitch-black darkness.
Secluded, very secluded…
Yong Le turned on a flashlight, casually placing it on the table.
The dim light made Dong Enyu’s heart sink.
She suddenly noticed many guns in the corner of the room—handguns, sniper rifles, shotguns, countless boxes of bullets, and even grenades.
She had no idea where Yong Le got such powerful weapons.
These contraband items were likely smuggled, but just Yong Le alone having such firepower truly made Dong Enyu’s heart race…
If someone came to rescue her, it might not end well.
“You better give up the idea of escaping,” Yong Le took off her white shirt, wearing only a sports bra underneath.
She approached and pulled Dong Enyu up from the bed, letting the woman sit upright against the wall.
“Listen, I don’t want to break your legs, so don’t cause trouble, got it?” She wanted Dong Enyu to behave.
“Where… did you… get the… guns?” Dong Enyu spoke slowly, forcing herself to stay awake.
Seeing this, Yong Le patted her face and laughed, “Those? Naturally, the boss gave them to me.
These things are very dangerous, so don’t get any ideas.
If you accidentally hurt yourself, I won’t take you to the hospital.” She made it clear first, to avoid Dong Enyu haunting her after death.
But Dong Enyu didn’t care about her nonsense, only concerned about the boss she mentioned, the mastermind behind hiring Yong Le…
At this moment, Yong Le seemed to remember something.
She got up, rummaged through her backpack, and then took out a pack of green pills, breaking one in half and stuffing it into Dong Enyu’s mouth.
Before she could resist, Yong Le had already taken the mineral water with sleeping pills, forcing her to swallow the pill, even choking Dong Enyu into coughing.
“Cough… cough… what… did you… give me…” The woman’s collar was already soaked with water.
Yong Le casually crushed the empty plastic bottle and threw it into the corner, “A kind of anesthetic, to stop you from escaping, it’s harmless.”
Although Dong Enyu was angry, she no longer had the strength to argue, so she lowered her eyes slightly, simply not looking at Yong Le.
Unexpectedly…
“Are you disappointed?” Yong Le pinched Dong Enyu’s chin, lifting her face to meet her gaze.
“Although I also prepared an aphrodisiac, I’m not sure if you’d like it.” That delicate face, at this moment, looked as eerie as a demon in Dong Enyu’s eyes.
Aphrodisiac?
At a time like this, she still had the mood to joke about such things?
“Pervert!” She spat two words at Yong Le.
Dong Enyu was in no mood to joke with her.
“You didn’t just meet me today,” Yong Le laughed heartily, shaking her head with a sigh, “Besides, we hooked up the first time we met, so we’re even, Miss Dong.” She let go, causing Dong Enyu to lose balance and lie sideways on the bed.
At this moment, Yong Le’s phone rang.
Just when Dong Enyu thought she would leave, Yong Le unabashedly answered the call in front of her.
“You’re calling too late, aren’t you?… Did you see my news?… Haha, of course…” Yong Le dragged a chair over and sat down, facing Dong Enyu while talking on the phone, her eyes never leaving the woman.
“Of course, it was a headshot, hard not to die.
Anyway, transfer the money to my account… Yes, that one.
Next, I have to go offshore to lay low.
I’ll contact you once things settle.”
Dong Enyu closed her eyes, her breathing growing heavier, until Yong Le hung up the phone, and she slowly opened her eyes.
“The first two…”
“Both were me.” Before Dong Enyu could finish asking, Yong Le answered first.
It was clear she was proud…
Proud of killing…
Dong Enyu remembered asking Luo Ye if it was possible that someone from Wutang was behind it, but Luo Ye shook his head.
She didn’t know if Luo Ye meant “didn’t know” or “wouldn’t say”…
Then what was the purpose of her warning call?
“With such precise marksmanship, who else but me? I bet if you saw me with a gun, you’d fall in love with me,” Yong Le said with a rogue smile, while unbuckling the belt on her side, which had two Swiss Knives attached, making a “ding” sound as they hit the ground.
“Maniac!” For this, Dong Enyu gave her two more words, but after thinking it wasn’t enough, added, “You’re sick!”
However, Yong Le shrugged, as if not wanting to argue with Dong Enyu.
She was arrogant, as aggressive as a flame, yet her actions often defied common sense.
Feigning madness, Yong Le was definitely feigning madness.
“Since… there’s a reward… why capture me?” She didn’t understand, if Yong Le had a reward, why capture her for ransom?
Unexpectedly, Yong Le leaned in with a smile, saying, “That money is for retirement, capturing you is for travel expenses.” She straddled Dong Enyu’s abdomen, bending down to press her forehead against the woman’s cheek, her slender fingers brushing over the woman’s collarbone, causing Dong Enyu to shiver.
Now she was a hostage.
Isolated from the world…
“Besides, before going on the run,” Yong Le kissed the corner of Dong Enyu’s lips, laughing softly, “I still want to spend some time with you.”
