Chapter 113 How Could Qiao Yu Be the Sunset Knight? (Order Accepted)
Li Jia raised her head with almost all her remaining hope, clinging tightly to her thigh and refusing to let go.
The newcomer was tall and straight, like a wooden stick that had been trimmed to a perfect straightness.
Li Jia's eyes were filled with tears, her gaze carrying a final plea.
She hoped to hear what she wanted to hear from this man, and she also longed for the powerful figure she was clinging to to save her.
She doesn't want to die, she doesn't want to die.
However, the door of fortune did not open.
The leg that Li Jia was holding tightly moved slightly, and almost the instant Qiao Yu finished speaking, she pulled her foot out and kicked the obstacle away.
"Of course, I'll definitely help with this kind of thing."
Death's verdict fell upon Li Jia, and her heart sank instantly.
Turning around in disbelief, she saw the person she was hugging with an ice pop in their mouth, walking briskly towards Qiao Yu's side.
The two did not stand at attention; instead, they stood together in an unexpectedly harmonious manner.
Li Jia then suddenly looked at another car. The person inside hadn't gotten out at all. Now, the car door opened slightly, and a girl wearing white sneakers stepped out of the car.
Her heart, which had fallen into an ice cellar, was rekindled with sparks.
So this person couldn't possibly still be Qiao Yu's accomplice.
"Exactly five minutes, I'm still late."
Sheng Tang got off the bus with a watermelon popsicle in her mouth and gave Li Jia, who looked utterly despondent, a sweet smile.
"What are you expecting? You don't think I'm here to rescue you, do you?!"
Li Jia was completely heartbroken. The last bit of resistance in her body was drained away, and she collapsed on the road, her hands and feet cold as she looked at the three people who were chatting and laughing.
She made the wrong bet; no one came to her rescue. The delivery rider, who had already accepted the order, was a hypocritical swindler.
"Why? He never breaks his promises, so why did he lie to me this time?"
Li Jia slammed her fist into the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Even though she and "Sunset Rider Has Accepted Orders" were not in the same district, she had heard of his deeds.
This person will appear as promised once they say they'll take the order.
But why, why hasn't he shown up yet?
You damn liar, why didn't you come to save me?
Sheng Tang tilted her head and nudged Qiao Yu with her elbow.
"What kind of pipe dream is this person having? They'd rather believe you broke your promise than believe that the person who killed her was 'Sunset Rider Has Accepted an Order'."
Su Yang shrugged, fanned her face with her hand, took out an ice pop from her bag, and handed one to Qiao Yu as well.
"Who knows! If she had any brains, she wouldn't have come up with such a stupid idea."
"What...what did you say? Qiao Yu is a 'Sunset Rider who has accepted an order'!"
Li Jia's vision went black; hearing these words felt like being hit over the head with a club.
How could this be? How could the little girl she personally kicked out of her home become number one on the list?
Qiao Yu crunched on the milk-flavored ice cream and chuckled, "Why not? Aren't you regretting not killing me back then?"
"puff!"
Li Jia coughed up a mouthful of black blood and collapsed to the ground.
She probably regretted it before she completely lost consciousness.
However, he didn't regret killing Qiao Yu, but rather regretted why he couldn't resist the temptation to interfere in someone else's family back then.
If she can resist the temptation, even if she ends up on the Death Highway, she can barely survive here thanks to her talent.
Instead of depending on others every day, becoming a dependent who can only eat by watching how others look at him.
Of the four people in the car, three had fainted, leaving only Zhao Guohua, who was covering her mouth and sobbing, still holding on.
She had already knelt down after Li Jia fainted, shrinking into the corner of the car. As soon as Qiao Yu came over, she immediately knelt down inside the car and kowtowed frantically.
"Mmm..."
Xiaoyu, please spare Grandma's life, Grandma was really wrong.
I shouldn't have let your father marry Li Jia back then. It was all that little bitch who seduced your father. Grandma was also bewitched.
With bloodstains on her fingers, Zhao Guohua carefully wrote these words on the car window.
"Are you going to let them go?" Su Yang asked from the side.
If the mute old woman doesn't act now, she'll only face certain death on the highway.
One does it themselves, the other the system does it; the only advantage is that there's no guilt involved.
What do you think?
After finishing the last of her popsicles, Qiao Yu threw the popsicle stick through the car window, walked back to Li Jia, who was sprawled out like a lump of mud, picked her up, and threw her into the car.
Under Zhao Guohua's incredulous gaze, she closed the car windows, started the tricycle, and used a stick to hold the accelerator.
The tricycle slowly drove away, and Qiao Yu waved goodbye as a final farewell.
"You old hag, goodbye forever. From now on, the four of you will be together forever."
"boom--"
The tricycle drove a hundred meters before plunging straight off the cliff.
Almost the instant the vehicle was launched, it exploded in mid-air.
A heat wave rolled in, bringing a persistent hot wind to the already scorching highway.
The three of them stood by the roadside, their hair blowing in the hot wind, gazing at the scene for a long time.
Once the hot wind subsided, and the remains of the exploding tricycle above the cliff were gone, Qiao Yu glanced around at the two who were probably eating their umpteenth popsicle.
"So, you two agreed to come together?"
Sheng Tang awkwardly looked away. "No, it was just a coincidence."
Qiao Yu was a little skeptical, "Really?"
“Really, really, what a coincidence! You can ask Yangyang if you don’t believe me.” Sheng Tang immediately threw the question at Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded vigorously, "Yes, we just happened to meet on the highway."
"whispering sound!"
Qiao Yu was too lazy to expose their terrible acting skills.
She strode back, but after taking two steps and seeing that no one was moving, she turned back and called out, "Let's go, we're already here, let's have hot pot tonight."
"Let's eat hot pot!!"
Sheng Tang's eyes lit up, and she happily jogged a couple of steps to catch up.
Su Yang touched her nose, took one last look at the bottomless cliff edge, silently said to herself that she deserved it, and then followed the two into the car.
Sheng Tang and Su Yang were seeing Qiao Yu's vehicle for the first time, and they were immediately stunned when they got in.
Their vehicles are only at level three, and many features are not yet unlocked, especially the bathroom where they can shower anytime, which is a million times better than level three.
"Tier 4 vehicles are awesome! When can I upgrade to one?!"
"Me too. I don't ask for anything else, I just want a bathroom. I feel like I'm going to return to the wilderness after living like a wild man every day."
The two looked around the interior of the old man's car with great curiosity, touching and looking at it here and there, their eyes filled with envy.
Qiao Yu told them to look around freely and to prepare a hot pot meal as quickly as possible before the highway merging time was over.
She also had a packet of tomato soup base, and all the ingredients were fresh.
We still have a lot of vegetables left from the shopping spree at the supermarket and farmers' market a few days ago. In addition, with the rabbit meat and the meatballs that Sheng Tang opened this morning, the three of us have basically eaten our way up.
This was the first proper meal the three of them had together. Although there wasn't anything too luxurious, it was the happiest time they had experienced since they started traveling on the highway two weeks ago.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Yu leaned back in her chair, watching the two people competing to see who could finish all the food first, and a warm feeling washed over her.
Anyway, thank you all.
