Zhao Ming pulled Lu Qing outside and instructed Ye Feng and Zhang Wei, "You guys boil water and cook first. Qingqing and I will go out and talk for a while."
Ye Feng and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance, and Ye Feng said, "Boss, Sister Qing is only thinking of you. You two should have a good talk and stop being angry."
Zhao Ming put his arm around Lu Qing and said, "I know. We've been through thick and thin together, so we can't afford any more accidents."
Seeing that Zhao Ming was trying to comfort her, Lu Qing stopped struggling and obediently followed Zhao Ming outside.
Li Ke stopped what she was doing and looked up at Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming gave her a deep look before taking Lu Qing's arm and walking out.
Zhang Wei watched Zhao Ming and Lu Qing walk away before letting out a snort and mockingly saying, "Weren't some people supposed to be virtuous and chaste women? How come they've already shown their true colors so quickly?"
Li Ke knew he was talking to her, so she ignored him, continued to look down, and carefully wiped the wound with a towel after parting the hole in his pants.
Li Ke and his group haven't had any access to wound medicine in the past two or three years; they've just been bearing their injuries on their own.
Li Ke's thighs were swollen badly, and her pants were torn a little more. She felt a little hot and wondered if she was about to get a fever, but she hoped not.
If Zhao Ming finds out she has a fever, he will definitely abandon her. Li Ke hopes that Zhao Ming will come back alone later, which would mean that he has made a move on Lu Qing.
Ye Feng found some bricks and stones and built a simple stove. He then put a pot on it and started a fire to boil water. Zhang Wei glared at Li Ke a few more times, but seeing that she didn't even look up, he was secretly angry for a while and then started to help.
Just now, Sister Qing went out with them and had a chat. Ye Feng and Zhang Wei both felt that it made a lot of sense. Given Li Ke's personality, if she really gave in and followed Boss Qiu, they might not get anything good and might even be retaliated against by Li Ke.
Sister Qing said she would discuss it with Brother Zhao and it would be best to deal with Li Ke. Even if they broke their promise to Boss Qiu, it would only be a temporary unpleasantness. They could endure it for a while and it would all pass.
The sun outside was already quite high, and the heat was rising. Originally, Zhao Ming was pulling Lu Qing outside, but after they hadn't gone far from the house, Lu Qing started pulling Zhao Ming towards a small hill in the distance.
There was a large shady spot there, which was convenient for talking. Zhao Ming also saw the place and thought it was pretty good, so he followed Lu Qing there.
As soon as they entered the shadows, Lu Qing turned around and hugged Zhao Ming: "Brother Ming, have you fallen for Li Ke again? That woman is very cunning, you mustn't be fooled by her."
Zhao Ming was covered in sweat and was just looking to cool off in the shade when Lu Qing hugged him. He wasn't in the mood at all, and he had long since lost interest in Lu Qing.
Zhao Ming pushed her away: "How could that be? She's not of much use now. We can't afford to offend Boss Qiu. You're just overthinking things. You're all sweaty. Let me cool off for a bit."
Zhao Ming walked towards the shaded area and found a rocky slope to sit down. Lu Qing bit her lip and sat down next to him: "I saw it all. You two were standing so close. If we had shown up a little later, she would have kissed you right away. Brother Ming, you still can't let her go, can you?"
Seeing Zhao Ming frowning and remaining silent, Lu Qing became even more certain of her guess. She cursed him twice, calling him a "dog man," and then reluctantly clung to Zhao Ming's arm: "Brother Ming, wake up! There are some people you remember your past feelings for and want to treat well, but they secretly wish we were all dead! Second Brother, we can't let Li Ke live, and we definitely can't give her to Boss Qiu! She's softened now, and if she really wins Boss Qiu's favor, the first one she won't let go is us."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Zhao Ming thought to himself, "As expected, but if we're talking about not letting her go, it's only you, Lu Qing."
Regardless of what Zhao Ming was thinking, he didn't show it on his face. He hesitated and said, "Really? Besides, she's practically a cripple now. Boss Qiu wouldn't do anything extra for her, would he?"
Lu Qing felt that Zhao Ming had taken her words to heart, and quickly added, "How could he not? You know Li Ke's character. She's extremely selfish and vengeful. We sold her out, how could she not hold a grudge? Look how promiscuous she is now. If she whispers in Qiu Laoda's ear, what good days will we have? And didn't you see the look in her eyes? She wants us dead. When I saw that sinister look in her eyes, I was terrified."
Zhao Ming remained unmoved, but patted Lu Qing's shoulder and said softly, "So what do you want? Boss Qiu is still waiting for her. If we don't bring anything back, we'll be in trouble too."
Lu Qing hugged Zhao Ming's waist and twisted her body: "Even if it's difficult, it's only temporary, Brother Ming. I believe in you. We'll find a way to get through this. We absolutely cannot let Li Ke, this bomb, have a chance to turn the tables."
Lu Qing noticed that Zhao Ming's breathing was a bit heavy, so she reached down to stroke him and felt the change in him. She smiled smugly.
Zhao Ming was thinking about Li Ke. He recalled the blissful feeling Li Ke had given him in his arms just now, and was suddenly aroused by Lu Qing. He turned over, hugged Lu Qing, and pressed her down.
The two had been kissing for a while, and Zhao Ming, consumed by desire, just wanted to have a good time.
In order to get Zhao Ming to do as she wished as soon as possible, Lu Qing naturally cooperated in every way.
The two embraced, writhing in a daze, when Zhao Ming suddenly lost all feeling. His hands moved to Lu Qing's neck, and as she smiled and tried to kiss him back, he twisted her neck with a sudden force.
