"You're finally willing to talk to me?"
Du Yingying was overjoyed. "I'll go get you some water right away."
Since Lu Jingnian was injured while saving her, he hadn't spoken to her, which made Du Yingying very anxious. She had already taken a liking to Yu Fei, and now that Yu Fei had saved her, she liked him even more. This liking was different from the men she had liked before.
In the past, when men ignored her, she became even more eager to seduce them. But once she actually won them over, Du Yingying lost interest.
But Yu Fei is different. She used to like flirting with Yu Fei, but now she finds that she actually likes Yu Fei flirting with her. That's why she was so happy when Yu Fei talked to her just now.
She's got Yu Fei wrapped around her little finger.
Seeing that Du Yingying had finally left Lu Jingnian's side, Duan Suyao, who was not far away, quickly walked over.
"Are you alright?" Duan Suyao asked Lu Jingnian with concern.
To gain Du Yingying's trust, Lao Lu injured himself badly, but the effect was remarkable. After Lao Lu was injured, Du Yingying was afraid that he would get into trouble again, so she took them to the location of this smuggling transaction without hesitation.
With such a long wound on Lao Lu's arm, it will probably take him a month to heal.
"I'm fine."
Lu Jingnian moved his bandaged arm slightly, as if he felt no pain.
Duan Suyao moved closer to Lu Jingnian as if checking his wounds, and whispered to him, "I have received the signal, our people are already in ambush."
Because this transaction was unusual, it involved key figures from both sides. If these people were captured, the entire smuggling ring could be eradicated.
Soon, Du Yingying returned with the water bottle.
Lu Jingnian reached out to take the water bottle from her hand, but Du Yingying dodged him. "Brother, you're injured, it's inconvenient for you to drink water by yourself. Shall I feed you?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Suyao turned her head away and refused to look at the two of them.
She knew Lu Jingnian would definitely not agree; during this mission, Lu Jingnian had deliberately prevented Du Yingying from having any physical contact with him.
Lu Jingnian leaned against the tree without moving. When Du Yingying came over, he heard a series of footsteps and knew that the person who was meeting with Du Yingying's group had arrived.
Seeing that Lu Jingnian didn't speak, Du Yingying assumed he had agreed and squatted down to feed him water. However, before she could even open the water bottle, she heard the cawing of crows.
This is the code word the buyers gave them.
Upon hearing the coded message, Du Yingying immediately shoved the water bottle into Lu Jingnian's hand, saying, "Brother, you drink your water first. Our friends have arrived. I'll come back to keep you company after I've finished my business."
"When we go back to S City, I'll book you the best hotel so you can recover properly."
After saying that, Du Yingying quickly got up and walked towards her older brother with a cold face.
Lu Jingnian put down the kettle in his hand, gave Duan Suyao a look, stood up, took a few steps to the side, and found a safe spot.
The person on the other end of the line had already inspected the goods, and just as the transaction was about to conclude, a sudden change occurred...
These people were immediately surrounded.
Du Yingying looked in Lu Jingnian's direction almost immediately, only to find that he was also holding a gun, aiming it at her older brother.
"You betrayed me?"
Du Yingying, who had never been betrayed before, was absolutely furious when she saw this scene. She pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger directly at Lu Jingnian.
"Bang……"
...
“Lu Jingnian…”
Jiang Yue suddenly opened her eyes, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
The sunlight streaming through the window was a bit too bright, causing Jiang Yue to raise her hand to cover her eyes.
"It was just a dream!"
But the dream was terrifying; she dreamt that Lu Jingnian had been shot, his chest and face covered in blood…
Yao Hua's voice came from the living room.
"Yueyue, are you awake? I see the duck feathers on the balcony are almost dry. Should we put them away?"
Jiang Yue threw off the covers and got out of bed. As she dressed, she replied to Yao Hua, "No need to put it away yet. We'll go to town to buy a pot later and put it away when we get back."
After getting dressed, Jiang Yue's gaze fell on the marriage certificate on the pillow. She opened it and glanced at Lu Jingnian in the photo. Thinking about the dream she had just had, she felt a little uneasy.
She was worried about Lu Jingnian, but had no way of knowing if he was safe.
Their mission was kept secret. She met Lu Jingnian in S City to help him deliver something. Now that she's back, she won't know anything about him again until he returns.
Jiang Yue carefully put away the marriage certificate, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, trying her best to hide her worry before leaving the bedroom.
Yao Hua had already prepared breakfast. When she saw Jiang Yue come out, she ran over and asked Jiang Yue excitedly, "Yueyue, do you think I've really lost weight?"
Last night, Lao Yu said she had lost weight, but Yao Hua was still a little skeptical.
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "You just realized that?"
I thought you'd noticed it already. Your clothes looked looser the other day; you'd obviously lost weight.
Jiang Yue has been urging Yao Hua to lose weight recently, and after more than half a month of hard work, the results are quite good.
It's just that Yao Hua was too fat before, so people who didn't know her well wouldn't be able to tell the difference after just a few glances.
"That's great! I'll work even harder to lose weight from now on."
Yao Hua was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
Jiang Yue was happy for her too, "I'll work hard with you."
To lose weight, Yao Hua ate less. In the morning, the two of them ate a simple meal, took their money, and went out.
