After exchanging a glance, Sun You and the rest headed back in the direction they had come from.
âMurder! Chief Mo killed someone earlier...â
âMany of them, in fact.â
âWomen and a child!â
âGood gracious. Thatâs ten or so lives.â
Looks of horror appeared on their faces.
âJust because heâs the chief, he can kill people at will?â
Yao Tiao disagreed with that. âThose people perhaps deserved to die. Thatâs why he dealt with them that way.â
âHuh. They deserved death? What kind of heinous crime had they committed to warrant death? Not even a child was spared.â Sun You rebuked sarcastically.
âI agree. What kind of abominable crime could a ten-year-old commit? Besides, even if the boy was found guilty, heâs still a minor. Heâs nowhere near the right age to receive the death penalty.â
Her expression turned miserable. âD-Didnât you guys notice that those people were from WG?â
âThatâs exactly why he dealt with them however he pleased.â
âThis is a military area, so their unusual appearance must mean that something is up. They mustâve deserved to die,â answered the lass seriously.
She did not believe that Chief Mo would resort to killing for no rhyme or reason.
âHa!â The guy scoffed in disbelief.
Erruo must not be with someone as dangerous as him!
âErruo seems to have been there earlier, too.â
âAnd she didnât care to stop his actions?â
When she heard that, the displeased girl argued. âI already told you that those people deserved to die. Otherwise, why would Ruoruo not stop it?â
âHow was she going to do that? Coach Mo might have dealt with her as well if she had so much as intervened. No, she mustnât be with him,â said the chap solemnly.
âHey, Sun You. You...â
...
After dealing with that gang, Xu Xu continued roasting the wild chicken while Wang Yiyang tended to the fire. The whereabouts of Zheng Yi, on the other hand, were unknown.
Minutes later, the latter finally returned, only to glance at Ye Erruo faintly.
âSpeak.â Mo Jiangye had no qualms about her presence as he sat behind her and helped her with her long hair.
âThose women had drugs on them. Accidental contact with those powder particles could cause one to develop symptoms that are similar to those of AIDS. However, this is a much more serious disease. Itâs been exquisitely made and probably recently manufactured since thereâs no such stuff on the market as of now.â
The news came as a shock to the woman. How fortunate that those women hadnât left this place.
The man furrowed his brows tightly but merely said, âLetâs go.â
He had the feeling that every inch of this place emanated danger. Thus, he made a move to leave as soon as he grabbed hold of his wifeâs hand.
âWhat the heck? Thatâs vicious!â Xu Xu tossed aside the wild rabbit that he was handling.
âHow lucky for us that those drugs werenât spilled when we killed them,â Zheng Yi remarked.
They then picked up their clothes and left the place with their chief after putting out the fire.
âBurn them all,â instructed Mo Jiangye.
âYes, sir.â
âThose men were healthy and showed no signs of the disease. They were probably here to peddle the drugs. Any contact with that drug would cause one the same reaction as...â Zheng Yiâs face looked slightly flushed as he revealed this information.
Xu Xu chuckled. âSame reaction as what? Will they be in seventh heaven?â
Under the setting sun, the group chatted as they made their way through the forest.
Zheng Yi shot a glare at him. âI can help you if youâre keen to give it a try.â
âAlright, help me out then.â
âGo to hell.â He sent a kick in Xu Xuâs direction.
âThose people were from Blue Tower and they came over via K country. They were split into three batches and they entered the country from different points, so there are still two more groups of people. Earlier, those four men revealed that someone was liaising and arranging a meeting with them.â
Mo Jiangyeâs sharp eyes narrowed when he heard that. Since they were carrying dangerous goods, they naturally would not enter this place via a normal route.
âBlue Tower?â cried out Ye Erruo in astonishment.
âWhatâs wrong, sis-in-law?â
Isnât Gu Feirou a royal princess of Blue Tower?
