327 Hesll Do (1/2)
This was not the issue of money, okay…
Ye Shuang looked at the shadow through the rear-view window rather speechlessly. She did not start the engine instantly like the person wanted but thought about it and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel. Finally, she chuckled and said, ”You do know that I'm not a taxi, right?”
She had just finished when she heard the footsteps coming from outside the parking lot. It was coupled with a low yet non-ignorable scolding. ”Based on the surveillance, he should still be inside the parking lot! If we fail to catch him, the madam will be very mad!”
”Tsk! That guy sure knows how to hide. He managed to hide inside the food trolley for a day and night.”
”Stop with the small talk… It's just sex, and he's not even a woman, so why does he care so much about his virginity? Why did he need to run‽”
As the voices became clearer, the shadow on the backseat shivered before curling into a smaller ball. It was as if the voices were like a scary beast chasing after him, and the shadow almost folded his large body in half. Then, from the shivering body came a whispered voice that was shuddering. ”Please, I beg of you, drive away.”
”…”
Ye Shuang felt speechless after hearing the conversation between the people outside, and her fingers continued to tap. ”Hmm… It's not that I don't want to start the engine, but don't you realize, if I drive away now, it's even more impossible for you to run?”
She had understood the situation. Even though the shadow was curled up so that his face was hidden, among the people who chased after him, Ye Shuang had very fresh memory about the two of them. Just the night before, the two of them and a newbie had gone to the hall to check for the signal that she had sent. If not for Ye Shuang's fast reaction, there would have been a conflict between them already.
Therefore, after confirming the identity of the others, then combining it to the newbie who was missing… As long as Madam Grace was not crazy enough to kill a man for a small mistake, then the identity of the man who was cowering in her backseat was clear as day.
From the status that Madam Grace had showed at the ball, these black suits were likely her people's underling. In any case, with a word from the woman, no one would have cared if she wanted the newbie bodyguard to wash his body and be sent into her tent.
But they probably did not expect the newbie to be so virtuous. Even though he was not that good at his work, he seemed rather lucky and thus escaped the fate being OOXX. Then, during his period of escape, he ran into Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang then was reminded of something important. ”Now that you're here, I realize this parking lot is connected to the hotel next door.”
No wonder the woman's underling would be there. She had accidentally parked her car where her enemy stayed. The newbie who was identified by Ye Shuang maintained his curled posture and urged with a shaking voice, ”Fast, fast, fast…”
”Being fast is of no use. If I start my car now, I'll definitely be blocked before I can leave,” Ye Shuang said with an easy smile. ”They wouldn't need much reason to inspect my car. They can just knock on my window to pretend to ask something, and they can use that chance to look in my car. If that fails, they can stand right in my way. After all, I won't run over them… These people don't need to think logically, as long as they have a chance to look inside the car.”
The newbie's pupil shuddered, and then he used his voice that was breaking to beg, ”Then, then, what should I do?”
”Hmm?” Ye Shuang blinked. ”Actually, now that I think about it, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. I can just run out and shout that there is a thief inside my car, and I believe these people will be 'kind' enough to help me, right?”
Of course, she would be able to escape after that.
The ball shuddered, and then his body radiated a scent of despair. The man almost peed from the sudden change of plot. How could there be such a heartless person in the world‽
After she had had her fun, Ye Shuang finally burst out laughing. ”I'm just joking with you.”
”Jo-jo-joking with me?” The black ball moved and lifted up his extremely-conflicted face. His teary eyes peeped through his arms. ”You, you, you…”
”If I was just a normal citizen and you hid in a commoner's car, just imagine what would happen to the person after you're captured.” Ye Shuang tugged her collar and folded her sleeves. Then she removed her jacket. ”Don't think you can go creating trouble for others because you're in hot water. The people who are after you are not good people. If it was a common citizen who had assisted you, they could consider themselves lucky if they're allowed to leave with a light injury. If you carry more secrets, the person might lose their lives because of you… So, in a way, you are not a victim that I have to save but a trouble that came from nowhere.”
There were many people in the world who treated others as NPCs. To put it simply, they only considered their problem and did not realize that other people did not have the responsibility to help them. Even though that idea might be different in terms of range due to personality and bottom line, the idea was there—Due to my own trouble/problem/desperation, I had to drag you, who actually had nothing to do with it, into the fray to help me solve my problem.
This time if it was a friend, it was fine, but a stranger on the road? Brother Shuang could only chuckle at that.
That was so reasonable that he was speechless. The newbie was silent and then lowered his head in shame. ”…I'm sorry, this is my fault.”
”Hmm, good boy!”
After Brother Shuang taught the man a lesson in justice, he nodded and opened the door. He stepped out.
The black suit widened his eyes. ”What are you doing?”
Does he really plan to leave and abandon me in this car?
Brother Shuang stepped out and turned around. Only then did the black suit catch a glimpse of his impossibly handsome face. That face… he's in a greater danger than I am!
