Chapter 316 You're So Willful
Regardless of why things turned out this way, it's beneficial to these people anyway.
Niu Hong and Hu San weren't completely oblivious, but they genuinely lacked the brains to think about it.
They were ordered to arrest someone, and they did—just a woman. Essentially, they didn't take women seriously, which is why they didn't question her more. If they had arrested a man, they probably would have immediately suspected something was wrong.
It can only be said that being overly arrogant is part of some people's personality.
Whether his personality is good or bad is another matter.
The mountain road was not easy to walk, and besides, in Niu Hong and Hu San's eyes, Yao Yu was still a weak woman.
"Don't waste time!"
"I... I really can't walk anymore, please." Yao Yu's acting skills are quite good; at least the persona she created for herself hasn't been doubted by these two people yet.
"Don't you want to leave?" Niu Hong looked at her.
Yao Yu's eyes lit up: "Can we rest?"
"If you don't want to leave, then die here!" he said, brandishing a knife.
Yao Yu backed away in fear, but she was tied up and the ropes were taut.
"Go!"
"I...I'll leave now..."
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
“You should be nicer to him; this is someone the higher-ups want,” Hu San said.
"It doesn't matter, we have nothing to do with her anyway," Niu Hong said dismissively.
People like them live one day at a time, and being from the bottom, they're too busy to care about anyone who rises in rank. In reality, very few actually make it to the top; those who do are usually the confidants of those in power, and they wouldn't even give them a second glance. Besides, they're not without their own means of survival; they've managed to stay in the ranks for so many years, and even powerful figures wouldn't bother with them.
"That's still better than making it look bad."
Niu Hong raised an eyebrow: "What? You've got your eye on someone?"
"What a load of crap. If I had money, I'd rather go down the mountain and find a pretty girl. Even a widow would be better than this kind of guy. Of course, if he doesn't mind, I might as well have a go."
"Pah, what are you thinking? But that's impossible anyway, hehe."
Yao Yu trembled even more in fear.
The two glanced at it and inwardly scoffed.
Useless waste.
If this person weren't being used to threaten others, they wouldn't have been interested in making the trip themselves. Of course, there were many benefits to making the trip: there were perks for food and drink, and most importantly, there was money.
The three walked from day to night, spent the night in the mountains and forests, and continued walking the next day until they finally arrived at their destination.
"Finally arrived! I can't take it anymore, I need to get some sleep as soon as I get back, I'm exhausted."
"Take the person over there first."
"Let's go."
The two of them took the person there, and then went back to sleep.
The rest is beyond their control.
Outside the village, a group of people hid behind a large tree.
"The security there is very tight, and it's quite troublesome to get in."
"We can go in and investigate at night."
"Can."
"We must not alert the enemy."
While the people over there were discussing, Xiao Taohua and Xiao Peichuan quietly looked at the village ahead.
"Don't be impulsive," Xiao Peichuan felt he should remind her.
"I wasn't acting on impulse," Little Peach Blossom said, looking utterly innocent.
"Leave the work to those people, we'll protect ourselves." They shouldn't have come in the first place.
But who told my little peach blossom to come?
"Saving people can happen anytime, but the most important thing is yourself." Xiao Peichuan felt that this needed to be reminded again.
"Yes, I know. Don't worry, I've always been very lucky."
After the people on the other side made their decision, the person in charge of the team came over and said, "You two should not act on your own. If something happens, we cannot guarantee your safety. Actually, I would prefer that you go back now. I will arrange for someone to escort you all the way."
"No."
"Comrade, you're being very willful."
"I'm very good too."
The team leader pursed his lips. He was indeed impressive; a single silver needle could knock someone down.
Normally they would definitely ask, but now time is of the essence, and not only is there no time, their mission is even more important.
"You all better take care of yourselves."
"Yes, yes, we'll take good care of ourselves."
Xiao Taohua didn't understand the other party's complicated mentality at all, but Xiao Peichuan could roughly guess that this group of people must think that they were particularly lacking in self-awareness and that they were just there to hold them back.
This was clearly demonstrated by Yao Yu, who was involved in the previous case.
If it weren't for their insistence and the threats, we probably wouldn't have brought them along.
Well, from Yao Yu's perspective, they were a bit arrogant and ignorant, and they were the kind of people who liked to court disaster and end up making things worse.
In the village, Hongli was specially arranged to stay in a room because of the attention from above, but he was still not allowed to go out.
"Bring the person here."
Hong Li, who was sitting inside the room, heard the sound and got up just as the door opened.
"daughter in law!"
"Old Hong, it really is you, Old Hong!"
The couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Old Hong, what happened to you? What's going on? You've disappeared! I've come looking for you, I've looked for so many people, do you know how scared you were? And my daughter too. Ugh, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you out. How are you? Did they hit you? Let me see if you're hurt anywhere."
"I'm fine."
"I don't believe it. They're bad people; they definitely won't treat you well."
"Oh dear, that's not right. We invited you here and even arranged for you and your spouse to meet. We're doing a good deed."
"You're not good people! Old Hong, let's escape, they won't be able to catch us if we escape."
"Heh, I'd have to admire you if you managed to escape. Hongli, is this your wife? She doesn't seem very bright. How about it? Want to consider getting a new wife? I'll definitely pick one for you that's smart and obedient."
"No need, my wife is fine." Hong Li tightened his grip on Yao Yu's hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Tsk tsk, what a loving couple. Alright, we've met them, let's take them away!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone pulled Yao Yu away.
"What are you doing! Let me go! Let me go! Old Hong!"
"You, Yao Yu, don't worry, you'll definitely be alright." Hong Li's eyes were complicated, and he finally lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Yao Yu who was being taken away.
"No, no, no, Lao Hong, Lao Hong!"
The man was taken away, and he walked up to Hong Li with a smile: "Well? We've brought you your wife, isn't it time to help us with some work?"
"I don't want her to get hurt."
"Of course, as long as you do well, not only your wife but also your daughter will be fine. However, if you do poorly or leak even the slightest bit of information, then neither you nor your wife, nor even your daughter, will see the sun rise tomorrow. How about it? You agree?"
Hong Li took a deep breath: "I agree to your terms."
"Excellent! Very good! I love your decisiveness. Trust me, as long as you work hard, you'll have a bright future!"
