254 Luring Victims over (1/2)

[The three of them went back to where the plant was growing at the side of the road. Yuan Jing very thoughtfully made Nangong Min take a few steps back though.

”It's very likely that the things that happened before were because of that plant. We can't let you be influenced by that again so just wait over here while I take a look.”

”Oh.” Nangong Min hurriedly nodded but didn't forget to use the opportunity to grab Yuan Jing's arm. ”Yuan Jing … Be careful.”

Yuan Jing smiled and leaned down, kissing his temple. ”Don't you worry about me. Just take care of yourself. That will be enough.”

”Mn. Alright.” Nangong Min smiled back sweetly and reluctantly let go of Yuan Jing's arm. Ah, he really would have liked to hold onto him! He was so strong and warm. He had really felt secure when Yuan Jing helped him walk over here.

Yuan Jing took another look at the young cadet in front of him and stroked his cheek. ”I'll be back in a bit and take you home then.”

Kang Lei next to them ground his teeth. Hello?! Had those two forgotten that he was also here?! And what was it with 'take you home'? He couldn't be talking about that stupid military base where he was working, could he?!

He clenched his hands into fists and glared at the back of Yuan Jing's head while he followed him to the plant. Gosh! As if he wouldn't like to take care of Nangong Min! Letting him wait ten steps away, who wouldn't be able to do that?! This bastard was shamelessly making use of the situation and Nangong Min actually went along with it!

Yuan Jing stopped in front of the plant, the happy smile on his lips finally fading. Argh, he really wanted to rip this stupid thing out of the ground, step on it a few times and burn it to ashes. Because of this thing his Nangong Min had actually lost his first time to another man! And he had even heard everything through the video stream.

Now, what was the deal with this plant? Looking at it, it didn't seem strange. It only reached up to his knees even though it was quite big with respect to its width. One leaf was about the size of the hands of four men and they were all hanging down in big arcs, making the plant seem even bigger.

Yuan Jing went down on one knee and took a closer look at the leaves. There were short hairs growing on them that seemed to have some fine barbs but it was hard to see with the naked eye. They'd need to make sure in the laboratory later on.

The most noticeable was the transparent sap on them though. Looking from afar the leaves seemed to have a smooth surface that reflected the light. But it was obviously the sap that actually reflected it while the leaves below were dull.

”Mn …” Yuan Jing leaned forward slightly and waved above the plant.
