Chapter 423
When she was "ready" to come to Zhong Ming's side, Zhong Ming almost couldn't hold back.
The landlady is having quite a show today, focusing on a chaotic theme.
Wearing underwear as outerwear, tops as bottoms, using a bellyband as a small apron, and a tube top as a Wu belt. And that's not all, you use a pipe as a hairpin in your head. Holding that hairpin in your hand looks like an Emei dagger. You don't look like a good person at all.
After she entered, the others tactfully left the room immediately. The girls exchanged winks with her, 'Raise the price properly; we worked hard to get this business, don't lose money.'
After they closed the door, Zhong Ming tapped his fingers and said, "Can't you even close a door properly?"
The outer door was locked properly, and the people who were planning to eavesdrop dispersed. They had been thinking of going in to "disrupt" the conversation if it wasn't going well, but it seemed that the other party was unusually vigilant.
Miss Yao was in a daze, standing motionless until she heard Zhong Ming call out a few times, "Miss Yao? Miss Yao..."
She swayed for a moment, and when she suddenly heard Zhong Ming call her that, she almost lost her balance and took a half step back, supporting herself on the wall with one hand, her hairpin turning slightly.
Zhong Ming reacted quickly, leaping up in a flash, grabbing the hairpin from her hand, forcibly taking it away, and throwing it onto the coffee table.
"Boss lady, it can't be that bad, can it? Would you commit suicide just because I called your name once?"
Hearing this, her movements slowed down slightly, but the next second she seemed to have made up her mind again. A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, and she raised her other hand, her fingertips flashing with cold light.
This time, Zhong Ming was so startled that he took a step back and quickly let go of her. "What are you doing!"
This woman is too fierce; if she grabs your hand, you'll have to cut off your arm to survive.
Seeing that Zhong Ming had released her, she took a few steps back and quickly checked her wrist. There were no wounds or strange sleeping powder on it.
"You didn't come here to arrest me?"
"I've only stayed at your hotel before..." Zhong Ming felt that she seemed to have misunderstood something, but it didn't matter. This seemed to be a big deal that he couldn't afford to mess with.
Miss Yao looked at him suspiciously, sizing him up. He was fully enclosed in scales, sitting in a wheelchair, yet his movements were as fast as lightning... Wasn't he here to arrest someone?
When you meet them, first put a sleeping potion on them. Anyway, his mask can block all the sleeping gas. Then, once they're unconscious, put them in a wheelchair and push them away.
Seeing that she was hiding here from a deadly danger, Zhong Ming immediately gave up the idea of having her find someone and waved his hand, saying, "You can leave now, I wasn't here today."
Upon hearing this, her gaze shifted slightly.
She suddenly rushed forward and opened her arms to hug Zhong Ming.
This action was so bold that Zhong Ming didn't know what to do for a moment.
I was just an inexperienced young man, "Boss lady, please don't do this, I won't pay."
She pressed her head against the scales on Zhong Ming's ear and said, "Take me away."
"I refuse, I won't get involved in your affairs."
She wrapped her arms around Zhong Ming's neck, and while Zhong Ming was too afraid to move, she reached out and grabbed the hairpin on the coffee table back into her palm.
"If you don't take me with you, I'll die here today."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
"What are you doing? Are you trying to threaten me by stabbing yourself to death? Have you lost your mind?" Soon, Zhong Ming understood the logic behind it.
“I’m worthless when I’m alive. I can count the spirit stones I earn in a night on one hand. But I’ll be valuable when I’m dead.” Her courage suddenly grew. “You should know that in this line of work, if someone wants to redeem you, they have to pay a huge price. But if I die here, whether you killed me or not, you’ll have to pay back all your savings.”
"Miss Yao, I have no grudge against you, are you trying to make me die with you?"
Zhong Ming was considering whether or not to knock her unconscious.
"Yes, you're a good person, so I have no choice but to bet with you."
"I'm a good person? The guys who died at my hands would laugh out loud if they heard that." Zhong Ming thought about it carefully; this was the first time someone had ever praised him as a good person.
"Why?" Zhong Mingzhen felt this was an undeserved disaster.
"Because you can take me away."
“I can… ah~~” Zhong Ming understood. You think I can take off my scale armor and let you wear it, so you can walk around in a wheelchair?
"Then you'll be very disappointed. The girls outside have never seen my face."
"Trying to attract customers? Then we'll stand here for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Her movements were completely natural, a stark contrast to her image as a palace-dressed woman at the inn.
Zhong Ming dared not make the slightest movement, fearing that if he did, she would really die right there.
"One incense stick, why?"
“After an incense stick has burned, they will be replaced. We can’t let those girls stand there soliciting customers forever, can we? They also need to work and earn money.”
Zhong Ming: ......'First time here, no experience...'
Now that things have come to this, he's no longer in a hurry. He slumped back in his wheelchair, adopting a comfortable posture, and said lazily, "So tell me, what exactly is it?"
"You don't need to know, just take me away."
"Where are we taking you? Who should we hide from? Speak up."
The bell's scales rustled, and seeing her hesitation, it immediately understood one thing: this woman didn't want to die at all; she didn't seem like it at all.
"You can tolerate living here, so why are you fighting to the death when you see me?"
"Because I'm considering whether this might be my only chance to escape in this lifetime, I have to give it a try." As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Ming moved, which startled her so much that she took another step back, almost leaning against the door.
"do not move."
Zhong Ming stood up, stretched his body, completely ignoring her warning, and tilted his head back, seemingly calculating something.
After a dozen or so breaths, he said, "You said I gave all my wealth to the brothel, can I take your body back? Is someone after you?"
She was taken aback for a moment, then her expression tightened. "It doesn't matter. After I die, let the world be flooded."
"How many enemies do you have? Can you turn a human body into a puppet to use as bait? What level of criminals can you catch? Are they wanted criminals? Is it faster to earn military merit points or to kill people?"
"Hahaha... Military merit points? What if it's someone from the military? What if it's the Flame Wolf Army artillery battalion from over there?"
"Ahem, let me give you some background information. I am the captain of the Flame Wolf Army's guards." Zhong Ming pointed to himself, then looked at her with interest. "How many military merit points can I get if I capture you?"
"I won't get a single cent! They don't want anyone to die." Her hesitation only strengthened Zhong Ming's conviction in her intense desire to live.
"So, tell me... if I hide you among the Flame Wolf Army, won't they be able to find you no matter how hard they search?"
