Wei Kang glanced at Ji Yueyao and said, "If you cause trouble here, I'll be in real trouble."
"I didn't cause trouble, it was that guy who was giving me trouble, okay?" Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes in annoyance. This guy is always so arrogant, just look at that disdainful look.
"Isn't this the same principle?" Wei Kang skillfully began tidying up the table, and when he saw that Ji Yueyao was about to say something, he pointed to the door, "Woman, your friend just left."
"What??" Ji Yueyao was stunned. After realizing what was happening, she quickly turned around to look, only to find that Kaqi was nowhere to be seen in front of the counter.
Ji Yueyao paused for a moment, then forgot about Wei Kang and chased after him. But the door was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone Kaqi.
Where did Kachi go? Why did she leave without a word?
Ji Yueyao thought for a moment, waited outside for a while, then turned around and went back to the bar. Standing in front of the counter, she asked, "Why did Kachi... um, that woman who was looking for someone suddenly leave?"
"I don't know," the waiter shook his head. "I just said that Brother Mu and a woman came to see Wu Qianqian, and then Wu Qianqian never came to work again and she ran away."
"Who is Brother Mu?" Ji Yueyao frowned. She remembered that Wu Qianqian seemed to have said something about Xiao Yaru stealing her Brother Mu.
"What's wrong?" Wei Kang looked at the time and was about to go back, but found that Ji Yueyao was still standing in front of the counter.
Ji Yueyao glanced at Wei Kang and said, "I'm asking him who Brother Mu is."
"You don't know him?" Wei Kang frowned, looked at the waiter who also looked speechless and conflicted, snorted coldly, and turned to leave, but his arm was grabbed by Ji Yueyao.
"If you know him, just tell me." Ji Yueyao said calmly.
Wei Kang felt a vein throbbing in his temple. This shameless woman! "I have things to do and need to go home first. I don't have time to waste with an idiot like you."
“Then let’s go together.” Ji Yueyao’s forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe expression. She gritted her teeth, but her face remained calm.
Wei Kang glared at Ji Yueyao. "I remember your home is in the North District, right? My home is nearby, but we're not on the same route."
At this moment, Ji Kang seemed to have thought of something and glanced outside, his brows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly. It was already so dark outside.
Ji Yueyao thought about it and realized it made sense. She sighed and gave up the idea of asking him. She pursed her lips and gestured for Wei Kang to leave first. Then she turned to look at the waiter who was silently wiping the wine glasses. Just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly kicked in the leg. The pain made her legs go weak and she almost slipped.
"Wei Kang, what are you doing!"
"Looks like your body hasn't recovered from training during the day. You really are a weak constitution." Wei Kang said with disdain. "You still dare to wander around at night like this? You're practically courting death. Didn't I tell you, women shouldn't be in the way of the training area?"
"You!" Ji Yueyao was furious. She gritted her teeth, looked at the temperamental boy in front of her, and kicked him.
This guy's attitude always made her feel like she didn't belong in this world, which always made her very unhappy. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she be insulted in this world?
Perhaps due to physical fatigue, Ji Yueyao's movements were much slower than usual. Wei Kang easily caught her attack with a raised hand. "Heh, you're not even qualified to be my opponent now. I advise you to take a rest, otherwise I really won't bother teaming up with you tomorrow. It's too embarrassing."
What was clearly meant as concern was interpreted as sarcasm by Ji Yueyao when delivered in Wei Kang's tone.
"Don't get cocky, I'm going to beat you to a pulp tomorrow!"
"We'll see if you can run into me," Wei Kang shrugged. "But it'll take you two hours to get home, and it'll be dawn in less than five hours. I'm not sure how much of your senses you'll have recovered..."
"Wei Kang, are you just looking for trouble?!" Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth, pulled her leg back sharply, and turned to walk out the door. This guy is so annoying!
I didn't have a good impression from the very first meeting!
"Hey, woman, do you want to come to my house to rest?" Wei Kang saw Ji Yueyao walk away without turning her head and strode after her.
"To your house?!" Ji Yueyao stopped in her tracks, turned around and glared fiercely at Wei Kang. "Keep dreaming!"
Turns out this guy is just like most men here, a piece of trash who only uses women as a means of gratification!
Wei Kang was taken aback, not understanding why Ji Yueyao wouldn't agree. Wouldn't it save him two hours of travel time to go home if he came to his house to rest? He could just go directly to the training area tomorrow.
"Hey, woman, don't be ungrateful!" Wei Kang grabbed Ji Yueyao by the collar. "Coming to my place to rest won't hurt you. Do you want to walk for another two hours? Do you know how chaotic this place is at night?"
Ji Yueyao almost couldn't breathe because her collar was being grabbed. Despite being younger than her, Wei Kang was significantly taller and stronger. Taking a deep breath, Ji Yueyao retaliated by punching Wei Kang in the face. Although she missed, she managed to break free from his grip. "I don't have the energy to argue with you right now, you..."
Just as Ji Yueyao was about to tell him to get lost, several screams behind her gave her goosebumps. The screams were filled with despair.
Squinting, I saw several men laughing and tearing off a woman's clothes in the thick darkness. Some of them even lit torches and burned the woman who was rolling and crawling on the ground. The men laughed even more as they watched the woman scream in terror.
Ji Yueyao couldn't see the woman's face, but she could imagine her face filled with terror and despair.
“You…” Ji Yueyao was stunned. The scene before her was so cruel that it was appalling. Almost instinctively, she prepared to step forward and stop those men.
"What are you doing? Come with me!" At the same time, Wei Kang grabbed Ji Yueyao's arm and pulled her in another direction.
"Wei Kang, let me go! Are you going to just leave me to die?!" Ji Yueyao naturally began to struggle, but the strength in her arms made it impossible for her to break free.
"Shut up, you idiot! Are you going to play the hero at a time like this?" Wei Kang turned around and glared at Ji Yueyao. "Do you even know who those people are? Yu Zhenlong's brother, Yu Kai; Liang Siling's brother, Liang Siying; and the others are all children or relatives of influential figures in this base. What are you going to use to save that woman? With your meager abilities? Woman, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time: can't you use your brain?!"
"But that woman is... dying." You could tell from her increasingly weak voice.
"Then let her die. What's so important about a woman? Since she has no power, she should be a plaything for those who have power. She deserves all of this!" Wei Kang's icy voice made Ji Yueyao feel cold all over. He looked at the young man in front of him, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
