45 Sneaking Ou (1/2)

”Let go of me! I didn't do anything wrong! Aaaaaaargh, heeeelp! They are trying to k— Mhmmhmmhmm…” The miner shrieked the moment he saw Wuxing and Dongmei approaching him and tried to run away but was stopped by Dongmei's guards. His lips were sealed with a cloth before he could finish his sentence.

”Miss… Can you not cause trouble for me? It would be best if I wouldn't have another body to explain…” Chief Warden looked at the tied miner and sighed, begging in his place. He didn't care about the miner's life but killing him would bring a lot of additional work for them which he didn't want.

”Did I asked him to spread rumours about me? He brought it upon himself and now he needs to pay a price. I already killed one of your guards, do you think I care about a miner?” Dongmei said coldly as she rolled her eyes at the Chief Warden who was nagging her this whole time on their way.

When the miner heard Dongmei's words, he started kicking around, even more, knowing that they actually planned to kill him. He was lured here by the guard thinking that he would be getting an award but he arrived to meet his death.

As Dongmei finally arrived in front of him, his legs started to shake, even though he was sitting on the floor. Normally one would scream, but under Dongmei glare, he couldn't let out a voice out of his mouth.

Dongmei smiled evilly seeing the miner already not able to handle the pressure and turned to the man standing next to her, asking happily, ”Wuxing, will you?” Dongmei was not a compassionate person unless it was towards people she cared about. As long as one got under her skin, their lives were not safe at all.

”Sure,” Wuxing agreed without any objections and crouched in front of the miner, asking with a smile, ”Wasn't it better to just let it go? Sigh, that wasn't a smart choice. You probably remember the last person who tried to lie to Miss Guan. If you don't want to end up the same, I suggest you admit it.”

”Mhmm!” The miner exclaimed with muffled sounds because of the cloth that prevented him from talking and nodded, trying to cooperate. After all, his life was on the line. If even the Chief Warden wasn't doing anything then he seriously had to worry about it.

Just as Wuxing pulled out the cloth from the miner's mouth, the miner called out to Dongmei apologetically, ”Miss Guan, I'm really sorry! I didn't think about the consequences and I was blinded by hatred, pulling Miss into our grudge. I beg for forgiveness.”

”Tsk… Do you think that one apology is enough when everyone is already talking about me behind my back? This world doesnt work like that,” Dongmei snickered and shook her head, already deciding what she wanted to do with him.

Crack. Thud.

Before she could even present her thoughts on that, she suddenly heard a crack and saw miner's body dropping to the ground with a thud. She was watching the whole scene happening, but Wuxing was so fast with his movements that even she wouldn't be able to react in time. He broke the miner's spinal cord with one swift movement as if he performed it many times in the past.

”Even if you forgave him, I didn't. Let's not waste any more time than necessary,” Wuxing shrugged, cleaning the imaginary dust off his hands with few claps before returning back to Dongmei's side.

Dongmei only grinned and assured him, ”Don't worry, I didn't plan to do anything other than what you did. Chief Warden, we will leave the aftermath into your hands.”

'Shit… I knew it...' Chief Warden could only curse seeing Wuxing's cruelty and call for others who would clean the body from the area. He didn't have the power over Dongmei and even if it was Wuxing who killed him, under the protection of Dongmei, he was almost as good as her.

Fortunately for him, they didn't kill the miner right in front of everyone but on the side of the hospital where not many people were walking. This would allow him to hush up the whole situation with little complications.

The guards were also surprised at how decisive Wuxing was in his actions. They were not present when Wuxing broke the miner's arm so they didn't see his skills, but after today, they had to change their opinions about him a bit.

...….

The moment Dongmei passed through the doorstep of her apartment and closed the door behind her, she jumped on Wuxing's back, wrapping her hands around his neck and asked playfully as she looked at him through the shoulder, ”What's up, boyfriend? How do you feel in your new role?”

Wuxing reached out to rub her cheek and asked worriedly, ”You know you didn't have to do it? We are risking getting exposed just because of little ankle bracelet… I could live a few more days with it you know?”

”Yeah, but I wanted to do something nice for you…” Dongmei leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, hugging him tighter. The more time she spent with Wuxing, the more she liked having someone around her like this.

With her like this, Wuxing could only accept it, patting her on the head, ”Well, thank you. It's much more comfortable now.”

Holding onto her thighs so she doesn't drop from his back, he entered the balcony, letting the gentle breeze cool down their bodies. From there, they could see almost the whole outline of the prison, the hills and mountains on the island.

It wasn't a small island, even having a nice sightseeing spot like a high mountain in the centre of the island. The prison and the mine only occupied a small part of it near the coast, leaving the rest untouched. Most of the supplies were transported from the mainland, together with fresh water and electricity. The technology these years was so advanced that it wasn't much of a problem.

After watching the scenery in silence for more than a minute, Dongmei bit him on the ear playfully and asked, ”What do you want to do today? We have a lot of free time to spend…”

Dongmei felt weird each time she hugged him, with naughty thoughts constantly appearing in her mind, proposing cuddles and indecent stuff to her, but she didn't want to be the one to ask him that. The perfect scenario for her was him suggesting all she wanted and only then she would agree happily.

Unfortunately, Wuxing didn't get her signals and proposed, ”How about we sneak out alone and sightsee the island? I bet there are many nice places here that no one discovered yet.”
