If it weren’t for her cheeks being pinched, Dong Enyu would definitely have bitten off the other person’s tongue! “Mmm!” The woman struggled violently, a wave of nausea rising from her heart.
Just as Dong Enyu was about to suffocate, Luo Ye kicked the person away with force, the sound of a loud crash echoing as the person collided with several metal barrels.
Dong Enyu took a breath, calmly took out a flashlight, and turned it on.
The blue cold light shone towards the direction of the barrels, revealing a pair of legs hanging over a dented barrel.
After two seconds, someone propped themselves up from behind, their shadow swaying on the wall.
When Dong Enyu saw who it was, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Yong Le?” She blinked, afraid she was seeing things, but the arrogant red hair and crimson eyes confirmed it… The person who attacked them was Yong Le.
“Long time no see, you two,” Yong Le, dressed in camouflage, greeted Dong Enyu and Luo Ye with a smile.
Unfortunately, her right cheek was bruised and purple, looking quite battered, likely from the earlier fight with Luo Ye.
The air of nonchalance made Dong Enyu narrow her eyes, feeling her headache worsen.
Yong Le stood up from the pile of barrels.
As she approached, Luo Ye immediately stepped forward to grab the woman’s hair, and Yong Le retaliated by grabbing Luo Ye’s collar.
The two locked eyes, looking like beasts protecting their territory, filled with hostility and a bloody aura.
Dong Enyu glanced at the slightly ajar iron door, then back at the two in confrontation.
“Are you with the bandits?” She was somewhat confused about Yong Le, her background was too chaotic.
Hearing Dong Enyu’s question, Yong Le tilted her head and smiled at the woman, “I’m just working a side job, do you believe me?”
Believe her? Dong Enyu was taken aback by the question.
At a time like this, she was still being asked if she believed…
Luo Ye gave Dong Enyu a cold glance, then looked at the grinning Yong Le.
Suddenly, she released her grip on Yong Le’s hair and instead swung a fist at her.
Yong Le didn’t have time to dodge and was punched to the ground, her already bruised right cheek swelling even more.
Yong Le turned her head and spat out a mouthful of blood, her face no longer smiling when she looked up again.
“Just for a kiss, was it necessary to hit me twice?” Yong Le wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her thumb, her crimson eyes looking particularly eerie under the blue light.
“Tsk tsk, jealous women are really scary.” Her teasing tone made Dong Enyu, standing aside, frown.
“Don’t push your luck,” she stepped forward and said calmly, “Luo Ye not killing you is already good enough.”
The partiality in her words truly made Yong Le show an unhappy expression.
“That is, if she can do it.” Even though she was looking up at Luo Ye, Yong Le’s aura was not inferior at all.
Seeing the two about to fight again, Dong Enyu held her forehead in frustration.
She quickly ran between them and asked Yong Le directly, “Are you a friend or foe?” Rather than playing word games, it was better to ask directly, as Yong Le was not one to beat around the bush.
Yong Le stood up, casually dusting off her clothes, “I’ve achieved my goal and was just about to leave.”
Black and white, she chose the gray area.
Seeing the rogue smile on Yong Le’s face, Dong Enyu felt a bit powerless, “Do you know where they stashed the goods they stole?”
“No.
6 Boathouse, they put all the stolen goods there,” Yong Le shrugged and said lightly, “But it’s heavily guarded there.
With just the two of you and unfamiliar with the area, it might be dangerous.”
Her words could be a guiding light, but they could also be a trap.
Dong Enyu crossed her arms, unsure whether to trust her, especially at such a critical moment…
“What do you think?” Yong Le put her hands in her pockets, leaned forward, and smiled, “Do I look like I’m lying?”
Her slightly narrowed eyes, fiery red pupils, stared playfully at Dong Enyu…
“I don’t know.” After a while, the woman spoke her mind, she really didn’t know.
Truth and lies, lies and truth, it wasn’t something she could easily discern.
“Of course you don’t know,” Yong Le stepped back, her smile looking like she was mocking Dong Enyu, “I guess you’re here because Huo Ai set you up, right? Just like with the ransom?”
Her words weren’t particularly provocative, but the plain facts made Dong Enyu feel uneasy.
“You’re too trusting,” Yong Le said lightly, the amusement in her words clear, “Honestly, it’s a miracle you’ve survived this long.” The sarcasm and disdain echoed in the room.
Dong Enyu wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in her throat.
The more she said, the worse it got, so she chose silence.
Just as Dong Enyu was being criticized, Luo Ye hugged her from behind, her arms around her waist firm, the warmth against her back making the woman tremble slightly, like someone holding an umbrella for her in a downpour, even if it got splashed by rain, the brief cover gave her peace of mind.
Yong Le, who had been smiling, gradually restrained the curve of her lips.
Luo Ye whispered in Dong Enyu’s ear, “Trust her.”
Surprisingly, Luo Ye wanted Dong Enyu to trust Yong Le…
“What?” The woman didn’t quite understand.
“Yes, trust me.” This time Yong Le was eager to prove herself.
Dong Enyu frowned, unsure of what to do next, but after the arm around her waist tightened slightly, she nodded and warned, “You better not play any tricks.”
…
“Hey! Everyone!” At No.
6 Boathouse, eight men were gathered around a low table playing cards.
A greeting drew everyone’s attention.
A slender figure emerged from the shadows, Yong Le carrying two boxes of beer as she walked in.
Her appearance made the eight men show greedy smiles.
There were no women in the bandit group, so Yong Le’s presence was like a breath of fresh air, especially since she was such a beautiful woman.
“Yong Le, where did you get so much beer?” One of the men laughed loudly, taking the two boxes of beer from Yong Le.
“Of course, I got it from the officer’s office.
He has a lot of good stuff hidden there.” Yong Le pulled out a can of beer, popped it open with a snap, and took a sip.
The overflowing foam slid down her fair neck, making the surrounding men swallow involuntarily.
“That’s our Yong Le,” one of the men, shirtless, laughed to break the awkward atmosphere, “You can even come and go freely in the officer’s office, looks like you’ve got some skills.”
“Of course.” Yong Le saw the ambiguous look in the man’s eyes and immediately understood what he meant by ‘skills.’ She unabashedly licked the corner of her lips, slowly licking away the white foam, the provocative scene drawing all the men’s attention.
With their attention diverted, Luo Ye and Dong Enyu, hiding in the shadows, quickly ran towards a nearby speedboat.
The plan was going very smoothly.
Since Yong Le was one of them, she naturally didn’t worry about coming and going, and she could use this advantage to distract the others, while Luo Ye and Dong Enyu were responsible for sneaking onto the speedboat, sabotaging all the boats that could be started, and finally leaving on the boat with the stolen goods.
It seemed simple, but it wasn’t easy to execute.
“Hey,” Yong Le crushed the empty can with one hand, “why haven’t I seen Old Ginger and the others?”
“What, you didn’t know?” The man wiped his face, angrily saying, “Earlier, some rat caused a mess at No.3 Boat House, killing over a dozen people.
I heard each one had their throat pierced.
Now Old Ginger took people over there to check it out, not sure if they caught anyone.”
Yong Le nodded as she listened, casually grabbing another beer, only to have it snatched by a young guy next to her.
“Don’t drink too much, we haven’t caught the person yet, better stay alert.”
“It’s fine,” Yong Le took back the beer can, proudly saying, “I won’t be taken down so easily, besides, that person wouldn’t bear to do that to me.” As she spoke, she thought of Dong Enyu’s face, suddenly showing a doting smile, leaving the surrounding men puzzled.
“Anyone who sees a beauty like you wouldn’t bear to kill you,” a man with a scar on his face sneered, “they’d spare your life to hear you scream.
You won’t be killed, but you might be raped.
Aren’t you afraid of being taken by turns?”
Since they were all scum, they naturally understood the ways of scum best.
But Yong Le didn’t show any disgust or fear, instead…
“Raped? That wouldn’t be so bad, I’ve never been raped before.” Her words nearly scared the men around her.
But the person in question didn’t realize the problem with her words, her mind only filled with thoughts of Dong Enyu.
As long as she imagined Dong Enyu wanting to rape her, Yong Le wouldn’t even need to struggle, she’d just strip and offer herself.
But a flash of inspiration made her frown.
“No, offering myself isn’t called rape, right?” Yong Le looked at the group of men with strange expressions, troubled, “If I pretend to resist but deliberately let the other person succeed, does that count as rape?”
“Well…” The group of men was embarrassed by her question.
“Tsk tsk, I guess it doesn’t count.” Yong Le shrugged, talking to herself.
“I say, Yong Le, if you really want to be raped, maybe I can help…”
Bang!－－
Before the young man could finish his sentence, a loud noise interrupted him.
Everyone turned to look, but the dark shadows revealed nothing.
Only Yong Le hung her head, calmly sitting in place.
“Rebellion!” A roar came from afar, it was Old Ginger returning with five subordinates, “The alarm hasn’t been lifted, and you brats dare to drink here! Who’s the bastard who brought it?”
Old Ginger wasn’t their so-called ‘officer,’ but he was second only to the officer.
“It was me.” Yong Le leisurely raised her hand, smiling, “I stole the beer from the officer.”
“You again.” Old Ginger spoke through gritted teeth, Yong Le must have done a lot of ‘good deeds’ here.
Yong Le stood up with a smile, provocatively drinking the beer in front of Old Ginger, then crushed it and threw it at her feet.
Everyone watched and rubbed their noses, not daring to join the battle between the two.
“Earlier, No.
3 Boat House was attacked, and you weren’t at your post between No.
6 Boathouse, where did you go?” Old Ginger’s old face twisted, his sharp eyes carrying the severity of a soldier and the dominance of a bandit.
If it were an ordinary person being glared at like that, they’d definitely go weak in the knees.
“I told you, I went to steal beer.” Yong Le smiled with ease, completely unafraid of that old face.
“Hmph! Steal beer? When I went to patrol the Commander’s Office earlier, A Hui said you were in and out in less than five minutes, which means you disappeared for an hour, what good deeds did you do during that time?”
With those words, all the men looked at Yong Le in confusion.
“Why are you silent now?” Old Ginger smiled triumphantly, “Speak up!”
