The food was better than expected. Jiang Yuan and the others were relatively restrained, but Wen Manqing, perhaps because she hadn't eaten for several days, wolfed down her food and looked quite disheveled.
When they were about half full, the group slowed down. Wen Manqing realized her rudeness, wiped the food crumbs from her mouth, and awkwardly explained, "Thank you for the food, I was a little hungry, so..."
"It's alright, as long as you're full!" Ning Yanlan comforted Wen Manqing.
"Oh right, I haven't asked your names yet!" Wen Manqing suddenly remembered. "You are Siyin's saviors. If Siyin doesn't even remember the names of her saviors, she'll feel guilty to death later!"
"Jiang Yuan!"
"Ning Yanlan!"
"Cold Moon!"
"You two are a couple, right?" Wen Manqing asked Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan curiously. She had previously thought that Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue were a couple, but after observing them for a while, she realized that they were indeed a couple.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile, "Don't they look like a couple?"
"Yes, you two look very much in love!"
Wen Manqing looked on with envy, then sighed, "In this apocalypse, to have someone stay by your side through thick and thin, that's such a blessing!"
"You bitch, get out here!"
While eating, Wen Manqing suddenly turned pale. She nervously walked to the window and looked outside through the glass. When she saw several fierce-looking figures, she instinctively wanted to run away.
"You slut, it's only right to pay back debts. If you can't pay back your money, then sleep with me. My Green Wood Gang has plenty of men. You can work hard and pay off your debts one day!"
Curses came from outside again, and several burly men had surrounded the bus.
"Auntie!" Lin Siyin fearfully burrowed into Wen Manqing's arms. After taking a calming pill, she was in much better condition and was able to remain quiet and obedient, no longer babbling incoherently.
Wen Manqing sighed heavily and first reassured her, "It's alright, Auntie will go down and take a look!"
"Everyone, you guys eat first, I'll go see what they're up to!"
Wen Manqing bowed apologetically, then decisively opened the car door and walked towards those people.
Watching Wen Manqing go down to negotiate with several men, Ning Yanlan couldn't sit still any longer. She urged, "Let's go help her!"
"Let's see how it goes!" Jiang Yuan stopped Ning Yanlan. "It's best to resolve this once and for all. If we help her get rid of these people now, she'll still be harassed in the future."
“But those people are all scum!” Ning Yanlan pointed indignantly at the men around the abandoned bus.
“Some things can’t be judged by just one side of the story. If Wen Manqing really doesn’t owe money, then we will definitely help her! But if she does owe money, then it’s just like they say, paying back debts is a matter of course!”
Jiang Yuan shook his head and continued, "Then, let's not break this rule!"
Ning Yanlan remained silent. Jiang Yuan was right. There were rules in the underworld. They could help her repay the money, but they couldn't help her cheat.
The three ate their meal in silence. About five minutes later, Wen Manqing got into the car with a numb smile.
"Auntie!" Lin Siyin greeted her immediately.
"It's alright!" Wen Manqing gently stroked her head and comforted her, "From now on, you can stay here with your aunt and rest assured. Your aunt will take good care of you!"
"You slut, remember to dress provocatively tonight and deliver yourself to my doorstep on time!"
A mocking laugh shattered Wen Manqing's facade of strength, and she broke down in tears.
With a whoosh, Leng Yue, who was by the window, suddenly pushed the glass window open, then reached out and brushed aside the short hair hanging in front of her forehead, coldly looking at the people outside the window.
"Oh my, there's another beautiful woman here!"
The Qingmu Gang members, who were just about to leave, were immediately drawn to Leng Yue. In particular, her cold gaze made the men's hearts itch. Leng Yue was a rare beauty, and with her icy temperament, she was the kind of woman that men most wanted to conquer.
"You filthy bitch, you've got such a beauty hiding in your house!" The leader glared at Wen Manqing inside the car, then turned to Leng Yue and leered, "Very good, this woman will be sent to my Green Wood Gang tonight, and we'll help you pay off your debts!"
"Yu Da, don't go too far! They are my guests!" Wen Manqing said angrily through gritted teeth. If she weren't powerless to resist, she would have bitten off a piece of his flesh right now.
Yu Dazheng was the leader of the group that came to collect the debt.
"Hmph! There's more to it than that!"
Yu Da sneered, then suddenly jumped up and reached out to grab Leng Yue, "Get down here, I want you right now!"
"Poor thing, of all people to mess with, she's the one who had to be provoked!"
These were Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan's true thoughts. Leng Yue opening the window was definitely intentional, her purpose being to lure these people into a trap. Clearly, the other party was tempted by Leng Yue's beauty and couldn't resist her allure.
"Beautiful lady, get lost..."
With a whoosh, a blade of light so fast it was almost invisible flashed past. Yu Da, who had leaped up, was horrified, his body halting at the window level, unable to advance any further.
Looking closer, one could see Leng Yue's outstretched hand.
And the dagger whose entire blade was embedded in Yu Da's neck.
Leng Yue made a ruthless move, piercing Yu Da's neck from the front to the back as he jumped.
Throughout the entire process, Leng Yue didn't blink once, even as the other person's blood splattered on her face.
"Ah!" Wen Manqing screamed in fright. She had seen life and death, but she had never seen anything so ruthless. A knife went straight through someone's neck.
Yu Da's eyes, still open even in death, were staring intently at her, as if to say, 'Why didn't you say so sooner?'
"Only the dead need to crawl!"
Leng Yue drew her deadly blade, and Yu Da's body slammed to the ground with a thud. But that wasn't all. Leng Yue nimbly jumped out of the car, and as she landed, she stomped hard on Yu Da, who was still struggling instinctively, extinguishing his hopes with a single kick.
