Chapter 22: Exhausted
The messenger added, "There were three others with that young woman: two men and one woman."
The honey badger clutched his waist, where he had been beaten the night before; the area was covered in bruises.
He grimaced in pain, "You bitch, I'll kill her! And that guy too, I'll sell them both."
"Brother Wang, that guy is here too, and the other man and woman are also quite good-looking."
The honey badger's eyes gleamed; the four of them felt it was worth the risk.
“Brother Wang, let’s check the other party’s identity first,” one of the flathead’s subordinates advised. “Brother Qiang from City B told us to cut off that connection as soon as possible. You forgot he said that President Qi is currently conducting a strict investigation to prevent his subordinates from getting involved in organized crime again.”
Honey Badger closed his eyes, deep in thought. He had investigated the woman; she was a junior manager at a company with no real power in her family. As for the man, he looked like a college student.
Having made up his mind, the honey badger opened his eyes and said a few words to the man who brought the news.
...
Chu Rou, Mo Chi, and Shen Luo were soaking in the hot springs outside, while Ye Xia was sleeping in her room.
"Why doesn't Ye Xia soak in the hot spring? Why does she have to sleep?" Shen Luo muttered.
"She almost crawled down the mountain, so just let her rest." Chu Rou was speechless at her younger brother.
After soaking for a while, Chu Rou stood up from the hot spring, stretched, and yawned. "I'm tired too. I'll go back and take a nap first, and then we'll have a barbecue when I wake up."
When Chu Rou woke up, it was already dark.
She stepped out of the room and saw that the oven was already set up and the table was full of ingredients.
Shen Luo was adding charcoal to the oven, while Young Master Mo and Miss Ye sat beside her watching her work.
"Why are you letting Xiao Luo do it all by himself? Are you taking advantage of my honest brother?" Chu Rou was unhappy. She could do whatever she wanted to Chen Luo, but not anyone else.
Hearing Chu Rou's voice, Shen Luo turned around and smiled, "Sister, you woke up at just the right time. The fire is just lit, we can start grilling."
Chu Rou hummed in agreement, glancing at the two people sitting beside her. "Gentlemen, are you waiting for the food to be brought to your mouths? Should I chew it up and feed it to you?"
Ye Xia looked embarrassed. She saw Mo Chi sitting there and, considering she was a girl, she didn't make a move.
She stood up, walked over to the ingredients, picked up a skewer of meat, and put it on the grill.
Mo Chi beckoned to Chu Rou, "Rou Rou, come and sit down. They'll be in charge of grilling, and we'll be in charge of eating."
As long as Shen Luo wasn't doing things alone, Chu Rou felt much better. She sat down next to the ink pond and said, "Xiao Luo, I like my food roasted a little longer."
Ye Xia: ……
After all that, it turns out I just couldn't stand seeing her have any free time!
As Shen Luo grilled and ate, only about half of what she placed in front of Chu Rou and Mo Chi remained. "Sister, I ate the tender parts, and I've left the older ones for you."
Chu Rou: "Hehe, thank you so much!"
"Mo Chi, I grilled some prawns, how about you try them?" Ye Xia put several skewers of grilled prawns on Mo Chi's plate.
She had been observing Mo Chi for a long time. His noble air emanated from within, unlike that of a gigolo kept by a woman.
He and Shen Luo's sister definitely don't have that kind of relationship.
"Mo Bao can't eat seafood." Chu Rou took the grilled shrimp from Mo Chi's plate and put it on her own plate.
Mo Chi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. The old woman cared about him quite a bit and always remembered his dietary restrictions.
"That's a pity," Ye Xia said with an awkward smile, feeling that Chu Rou was doing it on purpose. "Sister Chu Rou, how come you and Shen Luo don't have the same surname?"
Chu Rou stopped eating her skewers, raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Because we don't have the same father."
Chu Rou did not shy away from the topic; she was a posthumous child.
Her father was a special forces soldier who was swept away by the flood and went missing during flood relief efforts in City B. After a month of searching, he was not found and was eventually posthumously awarded the title of martyr.
When she was three years old, her mother met Uncle Shen. Her mother was widowed and Uncle Shen was divorced, and the two hit it off and started a new family.
Her mother and Uncle Shen did not make her change her surname out of respect for her deceased father.
Ye Xia's "Oh~" was slurred and convoluted, with a deeper meaning.
Even the most oblivious Shen Luo could tell from Ye Xia's unfriendly tone that he frowned and his impression of Ye Xia plummeted.
"What do you mean 'oh'? My sister's biological father was a martyr. What are you trying to say with that tone?"
Ye Xia stood there stunned. She never expected that Shen Luo, who had always regarded her as a goddess, would talk back to her like that.
Oh my! Chu Rou's almond-shaped eyes widened. Xiao Luo's intelligence had returned!
Mo Chi glanced at Ye Xia, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Most of the food had been consumed. Shen Luo ate the most, followed by Chu Rou and Mo Chi. Ye Xia didn't even know how time passed; she barely ate anything.
"Oh my god!" Shen Luo clutched her stomach and ran into the house.
"What's wrong with Xiao Luo?" Chu Rou asked, puzzled.
Mo Chi suddenly stood up and quickly walked inside.
"What's going on? One by one..." Chu Rou's words were cut short as her stomach began to ache.
Her eye twitched; it hurt! It fucking hurt!
Chu Rou got up and ran towards her room, her back bent, otherwise she would be too late.
All three people ran away. Ye Xia stared blankly for a moment, then belatedly threw away the meat skewers in her hand.
Is the food not fresh? This shouldn't be happening at such a high-end location!
Ye Xia waited for two hours, but the other three people didn't come out. During that time, she also had an orgasm.
Waiting wasn't a solution, since they had come together. Ye Xia went to knock on Chu Rou's door first.
After knocking for a long time, Chu Rou finally opened the door. She was leaning against the wall, her face pale.
"Sister Chu Rou, are you alright?"
Chu Rou's eyelids were too heavy to open. "Do I look like I'm alright?"
"Then what should we do?"
"My phone is still outside. Could you call an ambulance for us? We'll get dehydrated if we wait any longer."
Just as Chu Rou finished speaking, she felt another sharp pain in her stomach. She closed the door and went back to the bathroom.
Seeing Chu Rou's condition, Ye Xia guessed that Shen Luo and Mo Chi were probably in similar situations, so she could only take out her phone and call an ambulance.
Five minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the villa.
Ye Xia exclaimed how quickly the ambulance arrived.
Two men got out of the ambulance; they were wearing white coats and face masks.
"Did you call the ambulance? Where is the patient?"
Ye Xia pointed to the villa, "One on the first floor, two on the second floor. They both have severe diarrhea and are completely exhausted."
The two doctors in white coats nodded. "Take us inside to find someone."
Ye Xia, accompanied by two doctors in white coats, knocked on doors one by one and helped people into ambulances.
Seeing that all three had gotten into the car, Ye Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally seen them all off, and now she could enjoy the villa all to herself, and maybe even ask the business owner for some compensation.
"You go up too!" A man in a white coat pulled Ye Xia into the car.
Ye Xia: ……
Why is this doctor so violent?
One person in a white coat sat in the driver's seat, and another got into the passenger compartment and locked the doors.
"Hand over all your phones!"
