Chapter 367 Unexpected

Xiaomei: "Mr. Duanmu, right? I heard everything you said just now. Originally, we women shouldn't interfere when men are discussing business, but I think I heard you want to speak up for them, right? Then please open your mouth and tell us what you think about this matter!"

Duanmu Yanbin couldn't figure out the background of the woman in front of him, but he felt that she was not simple based on his intuition. Judging from the situation, the woman should be on the side of the bodyguards, so their lives should not be in danger. There is no point in saying more, and it would be right not to say anything.

"Great minds think alike. The people around Boss Xue are truly talented individuals. Even the women are as capable as men. You, a formidable lady, have just said everything I wanted to say. I'm really at a loss for words."

Xiaomei: "I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman and so eloquent! When do you plan to pay and pick up the goods?"

Duanmu Yanbin: "How can I? I want to pay and receive the goods right now, but as you can see, it's urgent. How can I find a car and a boat right away? After all, this is a batch of arms, not chickens, ducks, cattle or sheep. I need some time to arrange it. I will find someone to transport them away tomorrow at the latest. You won't even give me this little time and want to cancel the deal, right?"

Xiaomei: "Mr. Duanmu, you're being overly suspicious. I just want to know more details."

She turned around and whispered in Xue Jiacheng's ear, "Dear, did you hear that too? We finally found a buyer who was willing to take advantage of this shipment. If you rush to deal with those smaller ones now, it will easily lead to complications. The shipment is going to be shipped tomorrow anyway. Let them live for one more night. I don't think they can do anything earth-shattering. We can investigate slowly after the shipment is completed. Let me and these guys stay outside the container tonight. There will definitely be no accidents. We can deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow."

Xue Jiacheng thought it made sense. He hugged Xiaomei and said, "You're right, but aren't you afraid that they might take advantage of the night to commit murder and robbery?"

Xiaomei: "I'm not afraid of anything. Do you think I won't have my own people nearby? If they rebel tonight, it would be even better. I don't have to bother investigating them anymore. I can just kill them directly, right?"

Xue Jiacheng wrinkled her nose and said, "You are really clever. It turns out that you have already arranged everything in secret. You are really worthy of being my good wife. You are much more useful than that yellow-faced woman in my family. Now I don't trust anyone else except you."

Xiaomei: "Leave this matter to me! Go home and have a good sleep tonight, and tomorrow I'll be ready to collect the money and get rid of this hot potato."

Xue Jiacheng pointed at the bodyguards and shouted, "Today, you good-for-nothings will stay here and watch over this shipment with my sister-in-law to make amends. If things go well, I'll erase what happened before. We're still good brothers. If anything goes wrong again, even the emperor can't save you this time. Do you understand me clearly?"

The burly men in front of him responded timidly, "I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly."

Xue Jiacheng walked up to Duanmu Yanbin, patted his arm and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Boss Duanmu, I didn't discipline my subordinates well, and I made you laugh. Everything has been handled. Let's all go home and rest! Let's meet here again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning! You just wait to receive the goods, and I also hope to get paid earlier."

Duanmu Yanbin smiled and said, "Then it's a deal."

Duanmu Yanbin, Lao Ma, Xue Jiacheng and the other two got on the van and drove away.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone started to accuse each other of being the one who leaked the news. However, after arguing for a long time, there was still no solid evidence to prove who was the traitor.

Everyone was discouraged. After greeting each other and talking about other people's families and ancestors, everyone was too tired to say a word.

Now it was Xiaomei's turn to speak.

"How do you think you're doing with Makoto?"

"Of course it's good. Following Brother Cheng, we can eat and drink delicious food, and he treats us well. What else can we not be satisfied with?"

Xiaomei put down her phone and gave them a blank look.

"I want to hear the truth, not your compliments."

Everyone was very surprised to hear this and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Xiaomei: "Then let me ask this another way! If Cheng and I had a falling out, which side would you stand on?"

"This... Sister Xiaomei, please don't make fun of us little brothers. How could you have fallen out? Brother Cheng loves you so much that it's too late. Look, if you hadn't stepped in, we wouldn't even know if we would have survived. Don't ask such questions and embarrass us little brothers."

Xiaomei: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious. If it really comes to that, who will you choose to help?"

At this moment, a bodyguard spat out the cigarette in his mouth and said fiercely, "If it weren't for Sister Xiaomei this time, we don't know if we can still stand here and talk. You say you are brothers, but when something happens, don't you suspect us first? What kind of brothers are you? Sister Xiaomei, you saved us tonight, I owe you one. From now on, you can tell me anything. If anyone dares to stand in front of Sister Xiaomei, I don't care if they are Brother Cheng or Brother Guan, I will do the same."

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

Xiaomei: "That's good. I don't want you to do anything for me. Just leave here right now and consider it as repaying the favor."

Everyone was even more confused when they heard this. They had no idea what this femme fatale in front of them was trying to do.

Xiaomei: "Why are you still refusing to leave? You all know Xue Jiacheng's temper. Once he sets his mind on killing, do you really think I can save your lives with just a few words? Don't be naive. The most I can do is buy you some time to escape. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you'll never see your loved ones again."

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, as if they had just escaped from a tiger's lair and entered a wolf's den.

The leading bodyguard slumped to his knees in front of Xiaomei, his voice tearing up as he said, "Sister Xiaomei, to be honest, we've wanted to turn over a new leaf for a long time, but we're afraid of Brother Cheng...Are you really willing to let us go?"

Xiaomei sneered, staring at him intently. "Do I look like I'm kidding? Do I look like some perverted woman who'd use you for fun? If I wanted to kill you, it would be easier than squashing a few ants. There's no need to go to all this trouble and scheme. Honestly, it's not worth it."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other for a few seconds, and then the brave ones ran away first. The rest of them saw that there didn't seem to be any danger or conspiracy, so they ran away in fear.

Seeing that all of Xue Jiacheng's people had disappeared, Xiaomei started to make a phone call: "Handsome guy, come in and get what you want! I can guarantee that no one will dare to stop you now."

There was an emergency brake sound not far away.

Xiao Yuehan and Nangong Lan got out of the car.
