163 Get The Melon (2/2)

”How did you know about Lu Shen's car accident?” Hui Yin immediately asked.

Party Secretary Lee shook his head with a laugh. ”Miss Hui is indeed too impatient. One would have thought you're more interested in this car accident than the victim himself.”

Hui Yin severely wanted to wring this old fart's neck. Why don't I give you a little 'accident' too, huh?

”Whatever Hui Yin asks, take it as if I'm the one asking you.”

Lu Shen was quick to defend her. He didn't know a thing about his identity, but from the reaction of the people around him, he seemed to be quite...intimidating?

Like he expected, the Party Secretary shrank a bit when he heard him speak. Lu Shen wasn't aware that every time he was feeling angry, his voice would also sound cold, making a person feel like they were submerged in ice. Amnesiac or not, he would still be carrying characteristics of his former self. It was quick to come out when his emotions were riled up.

Party Secretary Lee cleared his throat and inwardly shifted his chair so that he was slightly farther away from Lu Shen.

”Like I said before, there are only a few vehicles in our village. So if word comes out that an expensive car was found overturned on the side of the road without a driver, and the missing Mr. Lu turned up in our village, it would be easy for people to discover the connection between the two. It is as simple as that, Miss Hui. I mean nothing else with my words.”

Then why did you stop us from leaving?

Hui Yin stood up once again, and this time, three other people also stood up with her. The butcher, the forty-something year old woman, and the kind tea shop owner.

Hui Yin's expression changed.

Party Secretary Lee waved his hand. ”Knock them out.”

In unison, these three people struck the necks of the confused actresses, and their heads fell limply with a thud on the table. Lu Shen stood in front of Hui Yin, his expression unsightly.

”It's useless,” she said, her eyes finding Party Secretary Lee. He was still sitting down, but he gave her a smile when his eyes met hers. ”They drugged the tea.”

Lu Shen grabbed her hand tightly.

”I'm still feeling okay. I'll distract them, you run out of the door.”

”No.”

How could she let him ruin her plans when everything was going smoothly? Isn't this the perfect chance to follow the vine and get the melon? [1] Ever since they went out of the forest, Hui Yin hadn't let down her guard. It was just as she predicted. They did decide to act today.

”You run, I'll distract them. Meet with your parents when they arrive and search for me. You're the one they want dead. If I end up getting captured, they'll use me as a hostage and not kill me because they know we're close,” she whispered.

One way or another, she had expected to get caught. Lu Shen was useless right now without his memories, and Hui Yin was even more so. How could they fight with the culprit in their situation? She could only plan a risky mission like this.
