Chapter 774 Do you know Xu Le?
Zhu Xiaobing handcuffed my hands, rendering me immobile. She looked at me and asked, "Where did you come from?"
I said, "I'm wandering around."
Zhu Xiaobing smiled and said, "I don't believe it. Your clothes are so clean; you obviously came from a community. Your place should have very good facilities, otherwise how could you have such clean clothes? Besides, I noticed that your gun and bullets are standard issue. Obviously, these kinds of weapons are mass-produced, and the chances of them leaking out are very small. You'd better tell me the truth. That way, when Xu Le comes back, I can plead for you. If you don't want to talk, then there's nothing I can do. You can only wait to die."
I said, "Hehe."
Snap!
Zhu Xiaobing slapped me decisively, which stunned me. What was going on? Why did she just hit me like that?
"You won't take the soft approach, huh? Then I'll give you something tough. Tell me, how do you know Xu Le? How did you meet him? If you don't tell me, I'll cripple your manhood."
"..." I'm so pissed off, she's a complete shrew.
"You won't talk? Fine, then I'll cripple you."
Just as Zhu Xiaobing was about to make a move, and I was about to surrender, Wang Lin, who was driving in front, spoke up, "Alright, stop messing around. There's no point in doing this. If you ask me, just kill this kind of person and be done with it. Don't waste your breath on him."
"Um, wait a minute, I can tell you what you want to know, but on the condition that you don't make a move. I really didn't come to the dam with any ill intentions. I just wanted to make contact with you and see what kind of people you are. I didn't have any other intentions. If I really had other intentions, I wouldn't have followed you directly just now."
I'm not going to hide anything anymore. Since things have come to this point, there's no point in me making excuses. In the end, there's a high chance they'll kill me anyway. So I might as well be direct and tell them my purpose. That way, I might be able to survive.
Zhu Xiaobing said, "Okay, go ahead."
I shook my head and said, "No, I want to talk to Xu Le directly."
Zhu Xiaobing frowned, "Are you kidding me?!"
I smiled bitterly to myself. "I'm not kidding you. I really want to discuss this with Xu Le. Didn't you just ask me how I know Xu Le? I can tell you, but only if you don't make a move."
"Okay, I won't fight back," Zhu Xiaobing said, lowering her fist.
I didn't know if what he said was true. Looking at her loosened fist, I still felt that this woman was dangerous. I took a deep breath and, with the attitude of not provoking her, said, "It's like this. I met Xu Le before. He helped me solve some troubles. Then I learned that he lived in the middle of the dam. So after my business was finished, I planned to come to the dam to find him. That's how it went."
"Xu Le helped you before?" Zhu Xiaobing looked puzzled. "When?"
I said, "It was around October last year."
Zhu Xiaobing frowned. "Impossible."
"Huh? Impossible? What's impossible?"
"then……"
"Alright, that's enough. When we get back, let Xu Le interrogate her. Don't say anything else." Wang Lin, who was driving, suddenly interrupted Zhu Xiaobing.
Zhu Xiaobing seemed to realize something, and decisively shut her mouth, saying nothing more.
I was a little confused. What were they talking about? What was impossible? Why didn't they just finish what they were saying? It's really frustrating to stop halfway through a sentence. Looking at them, I really didn't know what to do. I gave a wry smile and could only shut my mouth along with them. If I pressed them for an answer, I figured this violent woman next to me would definitely hit me.
So it's best to keep quiet to avoid being disliked.
But just as I was thinking that, Zhu Xiaobing next to me suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Lu Xiaonan." There's no point in hiding my name. We're so isolated right now, there's really no need to hide it. The resort is quite far from the dam, and they don't even know it exists, so naturally they don't know me.
"It's a nice name, but it's a bit of a waste to match your face," Zhu Xiaobing said, shaking her head.
"..." What do you mean? I'm handsome too, okay?
Back at the dam, I looked out the car window at the scenery. The dam was still in operation. It was really huge. After driving the car onto the dam, Zhu Xiaobing pulled me out and took me inside. They didn't try to hide anything from me and showed me the whole thing.
"Doesn't it look spectacular?" Zhu Xiaobing suddenly asked.
I nodded blankly and said, "Yes, it is indeed quite spectacular. I didn't expect the space inside the dam to be so large."
Zhu Xiaobing ignored what I said and instead smiled, "Now that you've seen it, how do you think we'll treat you?"
My expression immediately changed. Looking at the smile on Zhu Xiaobing's face, I couldn't laugh anymore. What was this guy trying to do? He didn't hide anything from me and let me see everything in the dam. Did he really intend to kill me to silence me?
"Hehe, go inside and think about it slowly." He pushed me into a room. Although my handcuffs were off, the room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
There was a small window above the door, but the corridor outside was so dark that you couldn't see anything.
I felt a bit helpless and too lazy to knock on the door, since they wouldn't let me out anytime soon anyway.
I fumbled around the room for a while and found a switch. After turning it on, the lights on the ceiling came on, and then I could see the room clearly. There were some empty cardboard boxes piled up inside, and nothing else.
I simply found a cardboard box, opened it, laid it on the floor, and lay down on it.
There's nothing I can do in this situation, so maybe I should take a nap?
The moment this thought popped into my head, I felt helpless. What's wrong with me? Is it because I've faced so many death situations that I'm indifferent to them?
The time on my watch ticked away, and before I knew it, the door suddenly opened, startling me.
I sat up and saw Xu Le standing in the doorway, holding a samurai sword. He stared at me with disdain and said, "Whose is it? Pretty comfortable."
I stood up, glanced at the time, and realized it was already five in the afternoon. My stomach rumbled, and I gave a wry smile. "Not feeling well."
Xu Le closed the door and said, "Zhu Xiaobing told me before that you know Xu Le?"
