Chapter 283 You Are Crazy and You Can’t Keep Another One
The woman became more and more afraid as she thought about it. “Will they not pay us and arrest us instead?”
"They dare!" The man's voice was full of cruelty.
The woman was shocked. She knew that the man had killed many people and there was no turning back. Even if she offered to save people in exchange for money, the man would not accept it.
Sure enough, the man soon increased the strength in his hands and threatened coldly, "I know you like that brat, but if she is really a princess, no one can save her. How dare you have such evil thoughts..."
He increased the strength in his hands a little more.
The woman gasped in pain and reached out to grab the man's face. "Bullshit! Can't I tell the difference between what's important and what's not? If you don't trust me so much, just kill me!"
"You'd better know the difference!" The man snorted, loosened his hand, and turned his back to the woman. "After we finish this last job, we'll leave Beiman and go to Dajin or somewhere else to live a peaceful life."
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" In the darkness, the woman moved a little closer to the man, but her eyes were still wide open, without any sign of sleepiness.
The next day, after daybreak, the woman woke up first. After getting dressed, she said to the man, "Then I'll go down the mountain to pick you up."
"Well, be careful on the road and don't let anyone stare at you." The man turned over and continued to sleep.
The woman came down the mountain and finally met someone halfway up. She called out to Yingzi, "Are you tired? You've been climbing so early in the morning. Have you eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten, so why would I think about it?" The woman called Sakurako, with fair skin and a pair of small eyes, turned around.
She walked a few steps to the woman and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did Big Brother catch the person?"
Yingzi raised an eyebrow. "Everyone down the mountain is searching like crazy. The government has even been dispatched. I heard they're going to search the mountain again today."
The woman's expression changed. "No one followed you when you went up the mountain, right?"
"Don't worry, this isn't my first time here." Yingzi was obviously excited. "Brother, you didn't catch the wrong person, did you? With this head, we can both retire."
The woman thought for a moment before slowly saying, "I caught two."
"Ah? Two?" Sakurako's expression was obviously a little disappointed. "What do you mean? Am I going to come here for nothing?"
"Probably not." The woman continued as she and Yingzi climbed the mountain. "These two children are very well dressed and look like they come from wealthy families. However, when we asked them which one was Huo Ling'er, they both said it was her."
The woman looked at Yingzi in confusion, "You said... Is there such a young assassin around this little princess?"
"Impossible." Yingzi obviously knew a lot about the situation in the palace. "Anyway, I haven't heard of it. Even those two girls, Bai Kou and Bai Zhi, are so powerful that ordinary masters can't beat them. Why do they need to arrange a assassin? And an assassin who is almost the same age as her? Unless..."
She quickly thought of a possibility, but didn't say it out loud immediately.
"Unless what?" the woman said anxiously. "Tell me."
Seeing Sakurako hesitating, she couldn't help but think of what Xiaotuanzi said last night. Could it be that Sakurako really had second thoughts?
Yingzi laughed dryly, "It's nothing. Anyway, we've caught the person. Let's go see if there's a princess. If there is, we can kill her and get the reward. If not... we can talk about it later."
She said as she quickened her pace.
The woman gritted her teeth in hatred. She hated it most when people only spoke halfway.
She caught up with her in a few big strides and grabbed Yingzi's arm, "Tell me, unless something happens, don't make people panic."
"Look, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry." Yingzi shook her head helplessly, then lowered her voice and said, "If they really did arrange for assassins, it means they were prepared for this matter beforehand. If we can catch them, it'll be fine. If not, then we should just give up on this deal."
The woman remained silent.
"Hey!" Yingzi pushed her, "Let's go quickly, I want to go and see if it's true."
"Okay!" The woman nodded, and the two of them quickly went up the mountain.
At the same time, Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger took a long time to fall asleep last night, so they didn't wake up early in the morning until they heard voices and footsteps outside.
The two little guys woke up in fright.
They were stunned for a moment before Huo Linger came to her senses first, "They're here."
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling nodded.
She saw Huo Ling'er trembling slightly and immediately held her hand. "Don't be afraid, young lady. When that woman points you out later, you just need to admit it and let them let me go."
"Will they... kill me... immediately?" Huo Linger's voice began to tremble.
Yesterday, she could still bravely argue with Li Suining, but now, death has become a countdown, and she really can't help but be afraid.
"No, no." Little Dumpling hugged Huo Linger. She saw everything yesterday. They would not kill her immediately.
She hugged Huo Ling'er tightly and said, "Believe me, you can definitely escape. Remember what I said, run to the left!"
Huo Ling'er was completely confused at this time, and subconsciously asked, "What about you after I run away? When will you come to find me?"
"..." Li Suining hesitated for a moment before saying with a grin, "Soon, I'll find you guys soon!"
"Okay, okay!" Huo Linger nodded repeatedly.
The little dumpling let her go and grinned, "Miss, look, I'm not afraid at all. I'm braver than you."
"Tsk!" Huo Ling'er immediately became dissatisfied and wiped her tears. "I'm not afraid either. Father said I'm the girl of destiny. No one can kill me."
"Yes, no one can kill us!" Little Dumpling held Huo Linger's hand carefully. They sat side by side, waiting for the door to be opened.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and in addition to the woman I saw last night, another woman appeared, standing at the door with their backs to the light.
Yingzi looked hard at the two little girls inside. In an instant, she pointed at Huo Linger and shouted, "It's her, it's her!"
Huo Ling'er trembled with fear, but still mustered up the courage to say, "I've already said it before, I'm the princess, I... I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Yingzi looked extremely excited. She turned around and looked at the woman with a crazy expression. "Big brother is really amazing. With so many assassins, he was the only one who succeeded. That's great!"
The woman looked remarkably calm. "Are you sure it's the one on the right?"
"I'm sure. I've seen it from afar several times in the palace. I can't be mistaken." Sakurako was very sure.
The woman nodded. "Okay, as for the other one...we're planning to adopt him. What do you say?"
"Are you crazy?" Sakurako disagreed, "You can't keep the other one!"
