His hands were pinned firmly to the bed, making it impossible for him to move.
Liu Yingying panicked a little.
"Let me go!"
"Heh! Let you go? Impossible!" The man looked down at her with a mocking gaze.
"You're so reluctant to sleep with me, are you trying to save your body to seduce the boss?"
Otherwise, why would this woman go to such lengths to please the boss?
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was definitely the case!
He started to feel annoyed, and his actions became even more violent.
"Rip!"
Liu Yingying's clothes were ripped open...
"asshole!"
Right now, she definitely can't beat this man with force, so she can only resort to high-tech weapons!
Her consciousness entered the spatial shop, beginning its search for what she wanted…
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully redeemed a stun gun, consuming 100 points!]
I'll electrocute you!
The second-in-command noticed that the woman beneath him had suddenly stopped resisting, so he stopped moving.
Just as Liu Yingying was about to make her move, a subordinate's urgent voice suddenly came from outside.
"Second Master, something terrible has happened! Those government troops are attacking up the mountain from the south slope!"
"The chief orders you to immediately lead your men into battle!"
"What?"
The second-in-command took a deep breath, released Liu Yingying's hands, and said, "You stay in the room and wait for me to come back!" After saying that, he got up and strode out.
Then came a series of hurried footsteps outside, which gradually faded into the distance...
"Phew..." Liu Yingying lay on the bed, letting out a sigh of relief, but her mind began to race.
She was surprised that the government acted so quickly this time, which made her change her views on officials in ancient times.
It seems not everyone is that kind of corrupt official who holds a position without doing any work...
However, the terrain of West Vulture Mountain is treacherous, making it difficult for the government troops to attack it...
Even if I wanted to cooperate with them from the inside, I am powerless at this moment!
Alright, let's wait and see how things develop!
However, Liu Yingying soon discovered something.
Almost all the young and strong bandits on the mountain came out in force to resist the government troops.
So now is the time when the guards on the mountain are most lax; even the guards outside her door have been withdrawn.
Liu Yingying was overjoyed and, under the cover of night, quietly slipped out...
Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to release the hostages who were being held in the cave, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was not a good idea.
At the foot of the mountain, soldiers and bandits may be fighting, and it is difficult to determine who will win.
If we let those women go down the mountain now, it would be troublesome if they ran into the bandits who were turning back!
But it would be a real shame not to do something about such a great opportunity…
As Liu Yingying leaned against the corner of the wall, stroking her chin and about to fall into deep thought, she heard footsteps approaching.
She quickly slipped into a crevice in the rocks and secretly observed the situation.
Two men walked side by side, one around forty years old and dressed as a scholar.
The other was tall and thin, with a shocking scar on his left cheek.
At first, Liu Yingying only felt that the two people looked somewhat familiar, but she quickly remembered them.
The middle-aged man dressed as a scholar seemed to be the chief strategist.
Today at the Dragon Tiger Hall, she noticed that this person and the second-in-command were sitting on either side of the first-in-command.
The tall, thin man was always following the second-in-command.
But it's strange...
The second-in-command had already led his men to repel the government troops, but the tall man, who was his trusted confidant, did not go with them. Instead, he was flirting with the leader's "strategist."
What are they trying to do?
At this moment, the scarred man stopped in his tracks.
"Strategist, there's no one here. Let's talk here!"
"Ah Xu, the leader has seen your abilities. If Meng Renhun hadn't joined halfway through, the position of second-in-command of this mountain stronghold would definitely be yours!"
"However, this doesn't mean you're incompetent. If you have to blame someone, blame Meng Renhun for being too ruthless..."
The strategist's words were filled with regret.
Ah Xu's face was gloomy, and he remained silent for a long time.
The strategist glanced at him and sighed, "But you are, after all, the one who has followed the leader the longest. No matter how capable Meng Renhun is, he is ultimately not one of us..."
Ah Xu was slightly taken aback. "Strategist Liu, what do you mean by that?"
“Ah Xu…you’re still too young!” Strategist Liu patted his shoulder earnestly. “Meng Renhun is arrogant and unruly, and he joined us halfway through. Now his prestige on this mountain is too high, and the chief’s idea is…he’s very worried about him!”
A sudden, deathly silence filled the air.
Liu Yingying's legs went numb from standing in the corner before she could vaguely hear what Ah Xu was saying.
"Please tell the chief that I will not let him down!"
"Haha, that's good!"
After the two had walked away, Liu Yingying emerged from the corner, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
It turns out the second-in-command is named Meng Renhun.
Ugh, what a weird name! I wonder who came up with it!
But now is not the time for jokes.
She also gained a lot of useful information from the conversation between the two people.
The leader was wary of Meng Renhun and seemed to want to take advantage of the government's attack on the stronghold to get rid of him!
See? The crack appeared on its own...
But now, she can't let Meng Renhun die like this.
