In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 187: Escape from the Fire Pit
When Qiao Yu and the other three came out, they found that Wang Zha and Hua Yue had come down from the roof of the car at some point, and were standing next to the RV and confronting Gao Yang.
Wang Zha stood beside Hua Yue, staring at Gao Yang who was standing not far from them with a bad look, his dark green eyes full of vigilance.
Gao Yang looked at Wang Zha's fierce face and didn't dare to move forward. He could only shout at Hua Yue from a distance: "Hua Yue, stop being angry and come back with us."
Hua Yue pursed her lips, her expression cold, not even wanting to glance at Gao Yang, "Get out!"
Hua Yue calmed her breathing and slowly walked towards the Mercenary Hunter Center, preparing to apply to withdraw from the team. When she looked up, she found Qiao Yu and the other three standing not far away, watching her.
"Captain Qiao..." Hua Yue smiled, "Since we're already back at base, I won't bother you any more."
"If it's convenient, could you tell me your address? I'd like to visit you once I find a place to live. I'm really grateful for taking me in these few days. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask. I, Huayue, will never refuse!"
"Uh..." Qiao Yu choked, "If you don't mind, you can actually stay with us temporarily."
Ah, this...
If she let Huayue go like this, wouldn't she be letting Yu Qingchuan down?
Hua Yue was torn for a moment after hearing this. Although she really had nowhere to go, it was not good to keep bothering others...
Hua Yue opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but she heard Gao Yang behind her suddenly say, "No need, Captain Qiao. I can take care of my team members myself."
Hua Yue's anger suddenly surged to her head. She ignored Gao Yang and said directly to Qiao Yu, "Then I'll trouble you, Captain Qiao! But I'll have to trouble you all to wait for me for a moment. I have to go to the hall to withdraw from the team first!"
"no problem."
"Kagetsu!"
Qiao Yu's relaxed response and Gao Yang's nervous voice sounded at the same time, creating a sharp contrast.
Hua Yue turned a deaf ear to Gao Yang's shouts and went straight into the door of the mission center.
Gao Yang's face was dark, and he stared at Hua Yue's determined back anxiously and angrily. He was about to chase after her to stop her, but Qiao Yu blocked his way with his hand.
"Qiao Yu, stay out of other people's business!" Gao Yang's eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth as if he wanted to pounce on Qiao Yu and tear her apart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, Qiao Yu felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then saw Gao Yang flying out with a "whoosh".
Qiao Yu turned his head and looked at Wang Zha, who had just retracted his claws and was still baring his teeth and making a "wooo" sound in warning, and touched its head in appreciation.
"Hmph--" Cheng Sinian looked at Gao Yang who was blown away and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Even Luo Zhenzhen couldn't help but purse her lips.
In fact, it’s not Gao Yang’s fault. The main reason is that Wang Zha’s claw was very powerful.
Although Gao Yang was an alien, he had been injured in Mingxia Mountain before and was not prepared at this time, so he was blown more than ten meters away by Wang Zha.
When Gao Yang got up, he heard many people around him laughing secretly.
He felt that he had lost face, his face flushed red, and he stared at Qiao Yu angrily: "Qiao Yu! Don't go too far!"
Qiao Yu blinked, looking innocent. "Captain Gao, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"
"Tsk." Cheng Sinian crossed his arms and said lazily, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place..."
"I don't know who it was that threw this girl into a pile of alien species like garbage. Now that she's fine, they come and pretend to be nice to her. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Gao Yang was so embarrassed by Cheng Sinian that he was speechless. After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "I don't want to bother with you!"
Then he turned around and wanted to walk into the hall again.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu patted Wang Zha's head and raised his chin towards Gao Yang, "Wang Zha, stop him."
When Wang Zha heard the order, he jumped three feet high and jumped directly in front of Gao Yang. His huge figure blocked his way like a mountain.
"You!" Gao Yang turned around and stared at Qiao Yu viciously.
Qiao Yu looked at him calmly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere until Huayue comes out."
Tang Ran, who had just witnessed everything at the entrance of the hall, had a look of embarrassment on his face. He came over and whispered, "Ayu... isn't it a bad idea for your wolf to block the door like this? There are other people who need to go in..."
Qiao Yu glanced at Tang Ran but said nothing.
Tang Ran's betrayal in her previous life was like a thorn in her heart. She couldn't forgive Tang Ran, but she didn't want to vent her anger on Tang Ran in this life either.
So when facing Tang Ran, Qiao Yu wanted to escape most of the time.
Cheng Sinian's eyelids drooped slightly when he saw this, and he said directly, "It's not like anyone can't get in, and the gate isn't blocked. The patrolmen don't care, so why are you the only one who has a problem?"
Tang Ran blushed at Cheng Sinian's criticism and stammered, "I...I'm also thinking about Ayu's reputation..."
Cheng Sinian sneered, then said with a forced smile, "Oh, thank you so much for minding my business."
Upon hearing this, a team member next to Tang Ran was filled with indignation. "How can you be so ungrateful?! Ran Ran was kind enough to remind you, and you actually embarrassed her like this! Talking to a girl like that, don't you even have basic gentlemanly manners?!"
"Oh, you're thinking about being a gentleman now? Then why didn't you think about being a gentleman when you were scolding our captain? Are you blind and deaf and don't know that our captain is a girl?"
"If that's the case, I really can't blame you. Caring for disabled people is everyone's responsibility!"
Humph, when it comes to talking, Cheng Sinian has never been afraid of anyone!
Sure enough, Cheng Sinian won.
Tang Ran and that team member were obviously not thick-skinned enough to pretend nothing happened even after being humiliated in public, and they were tricked into running away by Cheng Sinian in just a few words.
Sometimes Qiao Yu had to admire Cheng Sinian's mouth, as he could never suffer any loss no matter where he went.
If he were really allowed to let the noise go, he would drag any passing dog over and scold them.
Gao Yang was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't beat them or scold them enough, he really had no way to deal with them.
Just when Gao Yang was at a loss, Hua Yue slowly walked out from the gate.
She was just wondering why a useless person like Gao Yang didn't follow her in, but now she knew.
"Captain Qiao, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Hua Yue's face was full of guilt.
"You're welcome." Qiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly, "Congratulations on escaping the hell and regaining your freedom."
Hua Yue nodded when she heard that, unable to hide the smile on her face, "Thank you."
Gao Yang looked at the smile on Hua Yue's face, gritted his teeth, and his eyes reddened slightly, "Hua Yue! You actually don't care about the friendship we shared through life and death together!"
Hua Yue sneered, "Captain Gao, please use more precise words."
"It's not 'born and died together', but you two are 'born' and I am 'dying' alone, right?"
