Chapter 411: Chapter 242: Do You Want to Die?
Wu Zetian was sprinting back, and although he always valued his reputation, he didn’t slow down even as branches scratched his face; there was only one thought in his mind, to see the head instructor as soon as possible.
He ultimately couldn’t win against Luo Ye. Her reasoning was simple and realistic: he was not as skilled as her, and his argument was that girls should not be put in danger, but she told him that if one plans to join Team A, regardless of gender, one must face danger. Thus, in the end, he couldn’t argue against her.
Never had he felt like today, like now, that a phone was such an important thing!
His heart was in turmoil. Although he knew that with her skills, she wouldn’t have any problems, he just couldn’t help worrying, even annoyed at himself for not insisting on asking for Yan Han’s help.
At such times, people don’t consider whether logic holds up.
...
Currently, Luo Ye was hiding behind a group of people, observing the situation. Zhuzi’s grave had been opened, which indicated that his family had planned this from the start when constructing the grave; it was very spacious. Two coffins were placed side by side without appearing cramped.
Luo Ye was so anxious that sweat beaded on her nose. It seemed that before the grave was filled, it was unlikely that the head instructor would arrive in time, not to mention the police.
Judging from the people present, Little Zhuzi’s relatives numbered over thirty, which is considered a big family in rural areas. It was impossible to impulsively stop them.
All she could do now was to keep an eye on the strong man and not let him run away.
The police would have to trouble themselves to dig out the coffin from the grave. Although it was disrespectful to the deceased, Little Zhuzi, human life is of paramount importance. His family chose to believe without further investigation, so they must be prepared to assume all responsibilities.
She was so sensitive because in a past life, there had been a sensational case where a man killed six rural women for Yin Marriage profit.
Whether this woman was in a similar situation was still uncertain, but having encountered it, one must commit wholeheartedly; this is the least of human principles.
As the mound was being formed, the strong man muttered a few words, looking at Little Zhuzi’s Grandpa: "In-law Grandpa, please take care of my family’s Qiaoqiao from now on."
Grandpa wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes: "Don’t worry, now that Qiaoqiao is with my Little Zhuzi, she is bound for a life of good fortune."
"I’ll take my leave then!" The man bowed to the crowd.
Little Zhuzi’s Grandpa quickly stopped him: "In-law brother, why not have a meal before you go? It’s not good to leave in such a hurry!"
"In-law Grandpa, something happened to Qiaoqiao here, and my dad and mom have rushed over. The elders are distressed, so they sent me as a representative. I better go back and keep them company."
"The in-law grandfather and mother-in-law are also here? Then we should pay them a visit." Mr. Liu was anxious upon hearing this.
"In-law Grandpa, let’s wait for my dad and mom’s mood to stabilize a bit," the man said while retreating, "My sister just passed away, and the elders are grieving. They agreed to the marriage only after much persuasion, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience." As he spoke, he moved back: "In-law Grandpa, in-law grandfather, and all the uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters of Zhuzi, we shall meet again!"
"His big uncle..."
A man dressed in a suit started to speak but was stopped by Old Liu: "He’s right; their situation is different from ours. We’ll discuss meeting the in-laws later."
At this moment, Luo Ye had already followed the man and darted down the small path.
After running a distance, the man ducked into a wooded area beside the road. Seeing Luo Ye follow in, he suddenly stopped, "Girl, took a fancy to brother?"
Luo Ye stepped out from behind a tree, smiling sweetly: "You noticed me earlier?"
The man’s lips curled in a sinister smile: "Your clothes are too conspicuous in the crowd. What, have you come home on leave from the army? Or are you training nearby?"
"You’re quite confident," Luo Ye also started smiling: "From your tone, it seems that you think I’m following you because I think too little of my life, right?"
The man’s smile deepened: "Look at you, brother isn’t willing to take your life; I like you too much to do that. Otherwise, why would I stop to greet you?"
"That makes sense!" Luo Ye nodded her head.
"Little lady, the matter of Yin Marriage is something the officials don’t handle and the people don’t pursue. Why bother yourself with this idle concern? Of course, if you want to be friends with brother, I’m quite happy to oblige!"
"Really? I just wanted to ask you, is the woman in the coffin really your sister?"
"Of course!" The man took a few steps closer to Luo Ye, showing a trace of sadness on his face: "My sister’s passed away, my parents are very sad, and they could only let me represent them at the wedding..." As he spoke, his hand reached behind to pull out a dagger, swinging it towards Luo Ye in a stab.
