Although the bulletproof vest prevented the bullet from penetrating her body, it did not completely absorb the powerful impact.
In other words, the spot where she was hit by the bullet felt like she had been punched hard.
It's not life-threatening, but it's very painful.
Yuan Mengge had been holding back from showing anything unusual in front of Lu Nan, but now that they were out, she couldn't hold back anymore.
I rubbed the painful area for a while, and it took a while to recover.
I reckon it'll be a bruise there when I wake up tomorrow.
She rode her bicycle away from the dilapidated house.
Next, I went to find Li Hai.
————
On the other side, Li Hai led Miao Danhong to a sparsely populated forest, where there was a two-story building.
There were no other houses around, only a grove of trees.
Li Hai led Miao Danhong into the small building, and after going up to the second floor, they entered a room.
"Speak! Where is the ledger!" Li Hai asked, throwing Miao Danhong to the ground and standing to the side.
Miao Danhong smiled coldly: "If you have the guts, then kill me. At worst, we'll die together. Let's see if you can escape Brother Nan's influence after I'm gone."
Li Hai: "You bitch! You think I have no other way to deal with you except to kill you? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
Then he said to his men, "Hang her up. I bet none of you have ever tasted Sister Hong's flavor! Today I'll give you that chance. Let me tell you, this girl has a really good figure. Otherwise, Brother Nan wouldn't like her so much, right? Haha~"
Upon hearing his words, the others immediately joined in with lewd laughter.
Li Hai said, "What are you waiting for? All of you, get them! Let's see how long she's going to keep up this stubbornness!"
Everyone immediately smiled and surrounded Miao Danhong.
Li Hai stood to one side by the window, watching the fight unfold with a mocking gaze.
When Yuan Mengge arrived, it was already late at night.
In the dark woods, a shadowy figure approached silently, observing the movements inside the house from the darkness.
Low chuckles from men could be heard from inside the building from time to time; there were people both upstairs and downstairs.
Not long after, someone came out of the house, drove away, and seemed to be going out to buy something.
Half an hour later, the person who went out returned, seemingly bringing back some late-night snacks.
It's so late, I don't even know where to buy a late-night snack.
Then everyone upstairs came down and ate in the room on the first floor.
Yuan Mengge counted; there were more than a dozen people here. One group came from upstairs, and another from downstairs.
There were some people tied up in the room downstairs; they were probably Miao Danhong's men.
Miao Danhong herself was taken upstairs, and her shouts and screams could be heard from time to time.
The house had no electricity, so they used candles for lighting.
The room was very dark.
After what seemed like an eternity, Li Hai finally came downstairs.
"This woman has actually managed to hold on until now... Damn, she's got guts... I'll see if she can last until dawn..."
Although she couldn't hear him very clearly from a distance, Yuan Mengge had already guessed his meaning from those few words.
There are too many of Li Hai's men; she can't just rush in and arrest them.
Let's see when he leaves tonight.
He probably wouldn't leave until he got the details of where the ledger was from Miao Danhong.
Yuan Mengge waited there until dawn, and finally saw Li Hai leave.
When Li Hai left, he only took two people with him; the rest of them stayed behind to continue guarding the place.
It seems he finally realized he couldn't get any information out of Miao Danhong and decided to leave.
Li Hai was also very tired after staying up all night.
He had been on edge lately, and only now that the person who stole the ledgers had been caught did he relax a little.
Li Hai returned to his apartment, intending to get some sleep first.
He had several places in the county town for resting, and to avoid being assassinated, he would not rest in the same place at the same time.
After Yuan Mengge followed him into the city, she found that he was going to an old alley in an old residential area, and then he entered a two-story old building.
His men didn't stay there; they drove him to the alley entrance and then left.
Li Hai walked into the alley and entered the building by himself.
He seemed to feel safe here.
After watching his men drive away from a distance, Yuan Mengge walked towards the alley.
He actually came to a place like this all by himself.
I don't know what they were thinking.
Did they really think that arresting Miao Danhong would solve everything?
"System, is there anyone else in this room besides him?"
There was also a young woman.
Yuan Mengge: "...Lover?"
There is no courtyard in front of this building, so you can walk directly to the eaves in front of the gate.
Fortunately, there was no one around early in the morning, which made it easier for Yuan Mengge to move around.
She slammed her hand on the door.
Just as Li Hai was about to take a shower upstairs, he heard a knock on the door and said irritably, "Ugh, so annoying! Who is it so early in the morning!"
He glanced at the doorway of another room, thought for a moment, and then went downstairs grumbling.
"I'd like to see who's disturbing others so early in the morning! Who is it?"
After he went down the stairs, he called out to the door.
There was no answer from the door, but the knocking continued.
Li Hai walked to the door and opened it. As soon as the door opened, a fist suddenly came flying at his face.
He reacted quickly, turning his head to dodge the other person's punch.
As someone who has spent years in the shadows, his instincts are incredibly sharp.
He dodged the punch, but then a foot came flying at him.
Li Hai instinctively used his hand to block, trying to grab the other person's leg.
But just as he grabbed the other person's leg, the other person suddenly jumped up while holding onto the door and swept his other leg towards his face.
"Pfft—" Li Hai was unable to dodge this time.
He was kicked directly in the face, and his face went numb.
After Yuan Mengge swept her hand across the other person's face, she landed on the ground, turned around, and swung a punch at his face.
Because of the intense pain in his face, Li Hai reacted a little late, and by the time he raised his hand to block, he had already missed his chance.
"Bang—" Another punch landed on his face.
The excruciating pain from the blow to his nose instantly caused his consciousness to go blank.
Yuan Mengge grabbed his collar and turned him around, pulling his collar and strangling him, while pressing her elbow against the back of his neck.
Li Hai struggled for a few moments before losing consciousness due to suffocation and lack of oxygen to his brain.
After Li Hai fell into a coma, Yuan Mengge took out the belt from his waist, tied it around his hands, and then carried him on her shoulder and left.
The woman sleeping in the upstairs room opened her eyes somewhat confused when she heard a noise downstairs.
I thought I had misheard, so I listened carefully again, but there was no sound, so I went back to sleep.
