Chapter 1729 Good Acting

Xiao Peng sat in the passenger seat with his feet up in front of him, listening to music and reading an e-book.

"Did you hear me?" Ekaterina pushed Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng took off his headphones and said, "Why did you push me? Can't you see I'm reading?"

"I'm talking to you!" Catherine cried.

Xiao Peng asked in return, "Which law says I have to answer you if you speak to me?"

Ekaterina was speechless after hearing this. She really couldn't respond to this. After a while, she said angrily: "You are not a gentleman at all!"

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I never said I was a gentleman. Well, if you have time, go to the back and sleep. There's an electric heated mattress there, so you won't feel cold lying on it."

After he finished speaking, he put the earphones back on his head and continued to listen to music and read.

Ekaterina pushed his shoulder again.

Xiao Peng took off his headphones again and said impatiently, "Are you done yet? What on earth are you going to do?"

Ekaterina said directly: "Don't you care what happens to those two Indians?"

Xiao Peng scratched his head after hearing this. "What does it have to do with me? They have legs, they ran away on their own! Hey, those are vicious criminals! Who knows if they have any accomplices? And what about us? There are only two of us, and we are both powerless. How dangerous would it be to catch them in the wild? Besides, they entered the larch forest. If we got lost, he might die in the wild. If we were lucky, he would freeze to death, and if he was unlucky, he would be fed to the wolves. And there's also your safety to consider... In summary, the most obvious option was to get back to the car and leave the scene."

Ekaterina looked at Xiao Peng in astonishment. How shameless do you have to be to say such a thing?

"Weak as a kite"? With Kasim's marksmanship, you call him an ordinary person?

However, it cannot be said that Xiao Peng was wrong - in that situation, returning to the car was indeed the wisest option.

But if you don't want to care about the lives of those Indians, just say so directly. Why make so many false excuses?

Ekaterina took two deep breaths to calm herself down and said, "My cousin is terrified by what happened. I want to take her back to Noyabrsk."

Xiao Peng looked puzzled after hearing this and said, "If you want to go back, just go back. Why are you telling me? Did I tie your legs?"

Ekaterina felt the veins on her head popping out. "Why would I talk to you like this if I could go back?" She pointed in the direction of the rear of the car and said, "We're going to Noyabrsk! Over there! Over there!"

Xiao Peng said, "We are going to Arsare Village, not back to Noyabrsk. You can find a car to go back after we get to Arsare Village."

Ekaterina couldn't help herself and shouted, "I'm talking about now! Now!"

Xiao Peng's expression suddenly dawned on him: "Then I'll stop the car now and you guys get out and walk back?"

"Do you think I don't dare?" Ekaterina said.

Xiao Peng said directly to Kaxin: "Kaxin, stop the car!"

After saying that, he got out of the car and opened the door: "Please hurry up, it's cold with the door open!"

Ekaterina shuddered at the sudden rush of cold wind. She asked Xiao Peng with an incredulous expression, "Do you know who we are?"

Xiao Peng said impatiently: "They should both be the great-granddaughters of Dmitri Timofeyevich Yazov. It feels like we rescued two idiots who don't even know who they are!"

"You know who we are, why do you treat us like this?" Ekaterina looked incredulous.

Xiao Peng became even more impatient: "What's wrong? Do you really think that everyone in the world is your father and everyone should spoil you? Even if Yazov is a respectable person, he passed away last year! And people respect your great-grandfather, not you! Stop mentioning Yazov's name all the time. The most important thing in life is not 'who are my friends', 'who is my father', or 'who is my great-grandfather', but 'who am I'! Who are you without old man Yazov? Even if there is Yazov, what are you?"

"We didn't save you just now because of who you are! In fact, if I had known it was you then, I probably wouldn't have saved you! Do you know why? It was to save the world from a bully! Do you really think you're a sweetheart? You keep saying 'Do you know who I am' and 'The Yazov Family'... Bah! Aren't you supposed to be walking back? Get out of the car! Do you think I'll save you?"

Xiao Peng's barrage of words was so intense that it startled Ekaterina, who sat there crying and looking bewildered. Eugenia reached out and hugged her, saying to Xiao Peng, "Sir, I apologize on behalf of my cousin. What she said just now was wrong, and her request was rude. We will behave ourselves in the car and won't upset you again."

Eugenia had no doubt that Xiao Peng would "leave them here". Didn't he even take care of those two Indians?

Xiao Peng glanced at Eugenia. "Hmm, look at how good she is at talking! This is how you should apologize!"

In Xiao Peng's eyes, what constitutes a "qualified apology"? First, one must acknowledge their wrongdoing, then express regret, and finally offer a promise. Do you think a simple "I'm sorry" is enough to solve all problems? Do you think you're Japanese?

Xiao Peng closed the door, got back in the car and started on his way again, but...

"Damn, can you cry a little quieter?" Xiao Peng really couldn't imagine that a Russian girl could cry so loudly!

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. After he said that, Catherine felt even more aggrieved and cried even louder.

Xiao Peng was helpless about this, so he put on his headphones and continued reading. Out of sight, out of mind; out of hearing, peace.

He took off his headphones only after he finished reading a book, and the carriage behind him became silent.

Kasin, who was driving, guessed his confusion and said, "I was tired of crying, and I was scared enough just now, so I fell asleep!"

Xiao Peng sighed, "That's the good thing about women. When they encounter something, they can just cry and relieve stress. Look at us men. When we are wronged, we can only swallow it."

Kasim smiled and said, "Boss, your acting was pretty good just now! Look how scared you made those two girls!" Anyway, the two girls were asleep, and he still felt more comfortable calling them 'Boss' than 'Lao Xiao'.

"You're the epitome of a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart! I don't believe you didn't know you were saving them ahead of time, and I don't believe you could really just abandon them to the icy snow! With your skills, if you threw them down, they wouldn't be able to resist at all. And when have you ever been so talkative?"

Xiao Peng laughed and scolded, "You're the only one who's smart, but how far do you have to go?"

Kaxin said, "It's just over thirty kilometers away."

"Then let's go!"

Xiao Peng stopped reading and continued chatting with Kaxin on the road. Unbeknownst to them, the two women who were 'sleeping' in the back of the car had their lips slightly raised.

Women, some of them are really stupid...
