Before the Storm
At this time, Li Jing had no idea what was happening in the territory, and she didn't know that the lies she made up in order to leave the territory had been exposed to everyone.
She crossed the vast grassland, and in the dim sky, the Hungry Hungry Territory was like a huge monster, swallowing her whole.
The security guard at the entrance of the territory was still staring at her. Li Jing mustered her courage and slowly walked around Long Guohai's territory, making her figure disappear from the security guard's sight.
What she didn't know was that this step led her directly to hell.
As soon as she arrived, the man from the daytime immediately appeared before her. They had been keeping an eye on Hungry Hungry, and since Li Jing walked over so openly, they naturally saw her clearly.
"You really came?" The man looked her up and down with an expression of disbelief.
However, when he saw the same greed in Li Jing's eyes as his, he sneered, and there was nothing he didn't understand: "I thought you were all very hungry."
Li Jing frowned, feeling offended. Just as she was about to pull away and tell him that even if he paid her, she wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted, a hand suddenly clamped down on Li Jing's arm.
He said anxiously, "Quick, tell me, what are you two territories trading?!"
He gripped her very hard, not at all like he was treating a customer. Li Jing cried out in pain, "You're hurting me."
"Damn it! Still pretending!" The man pushed Li Jing to the ground, then grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her to the corner of the wall: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me now! Don't think I don't hit women!"
Before Li Jing could say anything, she was suddenly kicked in the stomach. She screamed in pain: "What are you doing!"
Before she could react, she was kicked twice in the stomach. The man did not save any strength at all. The pain made Li Jing hold her stomach tightly. She was convulsing and smelled a strong smell of blood in her mouth. Her internal organs were injured.
It shouldn't be like this, why is it like this?
Li Jing suddenly realized that she had done something stupid and struggled to crawl away from the corner.
She wanted to let the hungry security team see her and leave.
After climbing two steps, Li Jing was delighted. Just when she thought she was about to see the territory she had just avoided, she felt a pain on her head and was caught back.
"Bitch! You still want to run away? Tell me or not! Tell me or not!" The man deliberately teased her, grabbed her hair with a sneer, threw her against the wall, and stepped on her hands that were covering her stomach.
"You think you can still run?"
Li Jing looked at him with hatred: "You said you would give me money, why..."
Unexpectedly, the man burst out laughing and fell forward and backward: "You...you!" He pointed at Li Jing and took a while to calm down: "Do you think I'm going to give you the money I stole with great difficulty?"
Li Jing opened her eyes wide, and only then did she suddenly realize what kind of person she was facing.
These are a group of vicious robbers!
She shuddered and shrank back a little. No, no, she was the one who was going to surpass Li Mu. She couldn't fall to this point. She couldn't believe what was going to happen next.
She is now making a contribution. Yes, she knows the true identity of this group of people. The security team will come to rescue her!
Li Jing thought about it, suddenly opened her mouth and screamed.
"Ah!" A short scream spread throughout the land.
The city gates had long been shut. Ever since the central district disappeared, no one had left the territory for other places. Today, only Li Jing was there. After releasing Li Jing, the security guards went up to the city walls to stand guard.
One of them wrapped his clothes around him and said, "Did this come from the Longguohai territory?"
The other man nodded. "We often hear sudden screams in the middle of the night from their side. We're used to it. The lord said they're not decent people. We just need to keep an eye on them and keep them away. We don't care about the dirty things they do in their own territory."
After a moment, the two looked at each other.
"That Li Jing was walking that way just now." Someone whispered.
“But she was on the memo, and she was a temporary resident.”
"Also, she just gave countless reasons for going out. We said that Long Guo Hai was dangerous, and she accused us of spreading rumors."
"Could it be...that she is the one who is from Long Guohai?" Another person made a bold guess.
"It's very possible that she might be abusing someone right now."
"It may also have nothing to do with her. She has already gone to keep vigil for her uncle."
"Yeah, never mind."
"right."
The two continued on duty with peace of mind. After all, their duty was only to protect the Hungry Hungry territory, which did not include protecting an informal resident who was clamoring to leave for inexplicable reasons.
When Li Jing left, they all said they were responsible. They were the territory's security team, protecting only the territory and its people.
Poor Li Jing screamed and prayed that the familiar man in iron armor would appear in front of her in a heroic manner.
After a foul-smelling object was stuffed into her mouth and she was dragged forward, her expectations changed. It didn't matter if it wasn't the security team, it could be those hardworking people during the day. They loved to work, and there were probably some of them wandering around outside right now. Why hadn't anyone seen her?
Li Jing's answer finally came when she saw a man.
"Lord! This belongs to the Hungry Hungry Territory!"
"It's really not easy," said the man in his forties, with an ordinary square face, as inconspicuous as a school teacher or a taxi driver you might see on the roadside. "It's really not easy. Don't people in your territory never go out? Why? Let me guess. Have you bought all the forests and mines in your territory in both territories?"
Li Jing was shaking all over, tears streaming down her face, whether it was from the injury to her lower abdomen or something else. So... no one would see her, no one would save her?
"The lord is asking you!" The man who had just caught her kicked her in the back.
Li Jing fell forward uncontrollably, shaking her head frantically: "No, no, I don't know! I don't know anything!"
"Then do you know what kind of deal your two territories are making? If I knew, I would let you go!"
Li Jing shook her head again, shaking like a rattle.
She was so busy despising those people that she really didn't understand what kind of messed up deal it was! Li Jing searched desperately in her mind... She really had no memory of it at all.
Long Guohai said coldly, "Are you so excited to capture him? Ah Sheng, I thought he was a formal resident? You don't know anything?"
"Lord..." the one called Ah Sheng murmured, "Then I...then I'll let her go. It's a waste of food to leave her in the territory."
The lord hummed impatiently.
Li Jing was delighted!
Yes, let her go. Give her another chance, she will never do such a stupid thing again. She will stay well in the Hungry Hungry territory. She still has Li Mu, and she can live a good life with Li Mu around!
She wanted to crawl and roll away from this place immediately.
However, the next second, a man timidly walked over from a distance, completely shattering Li Jing's dream.
The man looked around with a guilty look, especially behind him. He saw a few people jogging towards him, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw Li Jing and asked warily, "Who is this?"
Li Jing suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Don't worry, just tell me, the lord has been waiting for you here for a long time." A man said nervously.
The man frowned and looked Li Jing up and down again before speaking, "I've figured it all out. These two territories are trading some kind of city defense equipment. Our territory provides the raw materials, and the Hungry Hungry Territory manufactures the equipment and then assembles it."
The Lord scoffed. "Are you sure? You won't be shipping empty packages back and forth."
"Don't worry, Lord. I was standing guard at the door and saw everything clearly. Those supplies were not brought back after they were transported there. Besides..." He said proudly, "I went to test Chen Hu's words, and he is absolutely right!"
The lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems... Hungry Hungry doesn't know the secret of the SSR yet." He said grimly, "Tsk, you like to cooperate? I think how can it work without my involvement?"
He stroked his chin. "Since we're leaving the territory, isn't that a good opportunity for me to cross the sea? Let me see how many people we can kill with our special stealth gadgets. Hahahaha!"
Li Jing huddled in the corner, trembling all over. Kill... These people are more than just robbers, they are about to become, no, they are most likely already murderers!
And... there's also a spy from the neighboring territory!
Li Jing stared at the man's face, as if she wanted to remember him, and successfully attracted his attention.
"Lord, this man..." he said worriedly.
He brought back very important information and made great contributions. Long Guohai would not treat him unfairly, so he waved: "A Sheng, don't let this man go. Find a chance to deal with him."
"yes."
She didn't mean to listen!
Li Jing wanted to defend herself, but she was trembling all over. She just knew she had to run, and run fast. However, her legs were weak, and she couldn't get up immediately.
She struggled desperately, and after a while, when her legs finally regained some strength, someone grabbed her arm.
"Come with me."
Li Jing was trembling all over, feeling that she had missed her last chance.
Why, why is it like this... She just wanted to do good things...
The two security guards were still staring at Long Guohai, and they immediately saw a figure coming down from the north.
The man kept looking around, as if he was worried about being seen.
The two security guards looked at each other, squatted down, and hid behind the wall until they watched the man enter Long Guohai.
"Report to the Lord!" one of them said immediately, "He is most likely from Yunshen Yuanshun!"
"yes!"
"It was such a restless night! Luckily, we were sharp-eyed and reminded them to keep their eyes open in the middle of the night!"
Back to Ye Miaomiao, when she asked Li Mu, Li Mu shook his head firmly: "Absolutely not!"
That was truly bizarre. Could these be two different Li Jings? But there was only one Li Jing in the territory. Ye Miaomiao pulled out the law enforcement camera and placed it before Li Mu, successfully causing her eyes to widen.
"She, is it really her...?" Li Mu frowned and watched from beginning to end as Li Jing walked towards the Long Guohai territory without looking back.
Li Mu frowned, and finally told Ye Miaomiao a fact in a heavy voice: "She is lying, her uncle is not here."
Ye Miaomiao nodded, and then received another message from the security team.
Ye Miaomiao's expression became serious——
Li Jing didn't know the reason, but the people from Yunshen Yuanshun weren't supposed to go to Longguohai. They had an almost irreconcilable conflict with Longguohai. The fact that there was a movement of people between the two territories, especially in the middle of the night, seemed strange, and Li Jing felt strange too.
Could it be that... Li Jing and that person are spies?
Ye Miaomiao did not express her guess, she silently patted Li Mu's shoulder.
"Don't worry. It's late today, so go to bed early. I'll ask Hu Mifeng tomorrow morning. She should be fine."
Li Mu hummed softly: "I just want to know...why didn't she tell me."
Ye Miaomiao sighed. Who knows? Hunger, hunger, hunger, probably won't keep her...
Night comes quickly, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Some people toss and turn in bed unable to sleep because their friends are missing, some are bearing the consequences of their lies, and some are enjoying the benefits of lies, unaware that a nightmare is about to begin.
A storm seemed to be gathering, and when the first ray of sunlight fell in the early morning, a scream broke the restlessness of the night.
"Someone..." In the middle of the Hunghunghung territory and Yunshen Yuanshun's territory, someone screamed in fear: "Someone's dead!"
