World Nine. Amnesiac Lover (52)
It was Yang Liuâer calling her.
Xue Xue squinted his eyes and took a moment to confirm where Yang Liuâer was.
âYouâ¦â Seeing Xue Xueâs composed expression, Yang Liuâer couldnât help but ask, âArenât you nervous at all?â
In response, Xue Xue chuckled softly.
âNervous?â She turned the question back on Yang Liuâer. âAnd what about you? Are you nervous?â
Yang Liuâer choked.
âOf course Iâm nervous!â She seemed to realize that she spoke too loudly. She was silent for a moment before lowering her voice and said, âWe are being kidnapped now. What should we do?â
Xue Xue did not answer.
âHey! Iâm asking you something!â
Yang Liuâer was unhappy after being ignored openly.
Xue Xue shot her a glance.
âYou are so noisy.â
Yang Liuerâs eyes suddenly widened.
âAnd itâs so strange.â
Stifling the question that almost slipped out, Yang Liuâerâs body tensed momentarily.
âYou were always indifferent and had a bad attitude when you met me before.â Xue Xue, who finally had a clear head, decided to add more fuel to the fire. âAs you said, we have been kidnapped now. How come you are still in the mood to talk to me?â
Yang Liuâer, who had originally planned to argue, suddenly kept quiet when Xue Xue accurately pointed out the problem.
In the end, she could only dryly respond, âBecause Iâm nervous.â
She said it, and Xue Xue made a noncommittal sound, leaving Yang Liuâer unsure whether she believed her or not.
However, over the next stretch of road, Yang Liuâer finally fell silent. She curled up in a corner, avoiding eye contact with Xue Xue.
Xue Xue was relieved that Yang Liuâer kept her distance.
She really didnât want to have too many interactions with people who conspired with others to commit kidnappings for their own selfish reasons.
Fortunately, it would soon come to an end.
Once this matter was resolved, Yang Liuâer, her, and Luo Chi would go their separate waysâeach on their own path in life.
Thinking about it, Xue Xue felt content.
âIs the signal still active?â
âNo issues at the moment.â Lan Hu stared at the red dot on the display screen. âTheyâre heading toward Yanmen Mountain. I remember thereâs an old industrial area on the mountainâs back. It was originally slated for development, but complications arose during land reclassification. The previous owner couldnât handle the financial pressure and sold it off to the Dragon Gang a couple of years ago.â
âHmm.â Luo Chi opened his eyes. âAnd if I recall correctly, the manager is He Quan, right?â
âYes, after Long Ao acquired the land, he put He Quan in charge of it. Apparently, they intended to use it as a storage location for smuggled goods.â
âInterestingâ¦â
As the two conversed, the red dot that had been moving normally suddenly began to flicker, as if it could disappear at any moment.
âBoss?â
âItâs fine. Turn off the network. Itâs normal not to have a signal there, but at least we know their destination.â Luo Chi said expressionlessly, âLetâs proceed according to the original plan.â
The gravel road jostled the car.
The undigested food churned in their stomachs.
Yang Liuâer emitted a nauseous sound that irritated Xue Xue.
âYang Liuâer.â
ââ¦Hmm.â
âCan you please be quiet? Itâs annoying.â
ââ¦â Although the light was dim, Xue Xue could still see Yang Liuâerâs red face because of her words. âI didnât mean it.â
She whispered.
Xue Xue held back from voicing her skepticism about Yang Liuâerâs claim that she wasnât intentionally making noise.
Time seemed extremely long.
Yang Liuâer probably couldnât hold it anymore, so in order to divert her attention, she started to âchatâ with Xue Xue again.
âYou are really weird.â
ââ¦What?â
âYouâre different from when we first met.â Yang Liuâer perked up, speaking rapidly. âEver since you came to our village, I had a strong feeling that you were here to steal my man.â
ââ¦â
âAlthough you may say that Brother Luo Chi is not my man, I believe that as long as you hadnât come, if we continued staying in Yangâs village, he would eventually fall for me. Even if he didnât fall for me, in the end, he would still marry me.â
Yang Liuâerâs voice gradually lowered. âBecause⦠thatâs the only way he can take care of me. As long as I persist a little longer.â
âIf you hadnât comeâ¦â Yang Liuâerâs emotions suddenly erupted. âWhy did you come? Why didnât you just stay in Yancheng and be your gang leader? Why⦠why didnât you let me and Luo Chi live our lives peacefully in Yangâs village?â
Her eyes widened in anger, accusing Xue Xue as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Although it was ill-timed, Xue Xue couldnât help but laugh.
That crisp, mockingly light chuckle made Yang Liuâerâs face flush.
âWhy are you laughing?â she snapped. âWhatâs so funny?â
