Chapter 10 To Stay or to Leave

Although the man was being carried on someone's shoulder, his clothes and the wounds on his arms looked so familiar!

So, is that girl really in cahoots with those people?

So, why did they arrest that boy?

It was obvious at a glance that the boy came from a very ordinary family.

It wasn't that he looked down on the boy, but rather that he knew a little about those people's ways of doing things.

Generally speaking, people from ordinary families are useless to them.

So why would they bother to capture this boy?

Or is there something special about him?

Lin Ziming's expression was uncertain. If they were in Chongqing, he could have easily found an opportunity to rescue the person.

But here, he doesn't have enough energy to do that.

Lin Ziming quickly averted his gaze, not daring to stare in that direction for too long, for fear of being discovered.

Although he felt that if the girl was really one of them, then what he was doing was just burying his head in the sand.

But he still harbored a sliver of wishful thinking.

What if, what if that girl is really capable, and not just with those other people?

...

Liu Shile quietly sneaked back into the small courtyard.

The operation went very smoothly, so the defenses in the courtyard were not very strong.

That is why Liu Shile can come and go freely here.

There was no way around it; she was just too fast, so fast that no one could even see her shadow.

And so, they successfully entered the warehouse in the courtyard.

I must say, there's quite a lot of stuff in this warehouse, so much stuff...

Although there aren't many valuable ones, even a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small it is, right?

It's far more than all the possessions the brother and sister combined have!

Liu Shile's eyes immediately lit up.

Anyway, those people eating and drinking here aren't good people, so she'll just happily accept the items in this warehouse!

She happily packed all the small, slightly valuable items into her farm.

Then he picked up the few familiar pieces of luggage that were placed by the door and turned to leave.

Actually, if she wasn't worried about being discovered by those people, she would have liked to see if there were any secret rooms or hidden chambers here.

After all, the layout of this courtyard looks quite good, and it's normal to have a dark room or secret room.

It's a pity that although those people were eating meat and drinking alcohol, they still managed to stay in line and didn't get drunk.

It's just that she made such a quiet, almost inaudible sound; otherwise, she probably would have alerted those people long ago.

She didn't want to get into a fight; it was too much trouble and might expose her.

So she behaved herself and simply took the items from the warehouse and left.

"I forgot to ask how many pieces of luggage you had. These suitcases looked familiar, so I brought them all for you."

"Check if this is yours, then give me the big yellow croaker you promised me, and you can leave."

When Liu Shile reappeared in front of Lin Ziming, she handed him several boxes.

Lin Ziming was taken aback by her expression of complete satisfaction with the payment.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

Seeing his luggage, he breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated for a moment before opening the suitcase to check it.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Shiyue frowned unhappily.

She thought he was worried that she would ask for more money if she saw how much he had.

So he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I only need three large yellow croakers, I won't raise the price arbitrarily."

...

Is that what I meant? I didn't want you to see the things in my suitcase, okay?

Seeing that the girl was staring at him without any sense of propriety, Lin Ziming could only sigh inwardly and resignedly begin checking the suitcases.

Actually, these boxes had never been opened, because those people didn't care about what he had in his hands at all.

On the contrary, he himself is the most important person.

If he is willing to cooperate with them, then these belongings will eventually be returned to their rightful owner.

But if he doesn't cooperate, things will be different; the luggage will belong to them, and his safety will not be guaranteed.

Unless his family cooperates with them, in which case they can barely be considered one of their own.

However, as punishment for his non-cooperation, those things will never be restored to their original form.

Lin Ziming quickly checked his luggage and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the documents were still there.

Then, in front of the girl, he took three large yellow croakers out of a suitcase and handed them to her.

Liu Shile accepted it without hesitation, but felt a little regretful inside.

If she had known this man was this rich, she should have asked for more.

But now that the deal has been reached, we cannot force a price increase.

Well, seeing how readily he offered the money, she decided to give up on trying to sway him.

She carefully put the large yellow croaker away, waved to the man, and turned to leave.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ziming finally couldn't hold back.

He whispered to her, "Um, miss, where's your brother?"

At least he has some conscience; he knew to ask her second brother.

If her second brother hadn't asked her to check on him, she wouldn't have bothered to get involved in this mess!

So she turned around and said with a faint smile, "My brother is waiting for me at the dock. I'll go back to find him now."

You don't need to thank us; after all, I'm just doing this for money.

Upon seeing her smile, Lin Ziming's first thought was, 'She looks quite pretty when she smiles.'

Then he realized that he didn't want to thank them, but rather to test who she really was!

Seeing her turn to leave, he panicked, "I just saw someone carry your brother into that yard!"

Liu Shile, who had already started to leave, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ziming, almost grabbing him by the collar.

"What did you say?" Liu Shile stared straight at the person in front of her, unable to believe her ears.

Wasn't her second brother waiting for her over there? How did he end up being dragged here?

Could this person be tricking me into going in to die?

Her voice was somewhat cold, and despite the sweltering heat, it seemed to lower the temperature around Lin Ziming by several degrees.

Seeing that the anxiety on her face didn't seem feigned, Lin Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems she really wasn't one of those people.

So he nodded heavily and said seriously, "I really saw him being carried into the courtyard."

Shortly after you entered the courtyard, please believe me!

There was no trace of guilt in Lin Ziming's eyes; on the contrary, there was some worry.

Yes, if this girl wasn't one of those people's accomplices, then they were her benefactors!

Regardless of why the boy was arrested, he hoped that the boy would be safe and sound.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Shile immediately believed him.

Because she remembered the ordinary-looking man and his companion who had attacked them on the ship before!

"Thank you," she said softly, but before the words were even finished, she had already vanished.

Lin Ziming rubbed his eyes; there was no one in front of him.

If it weren't for the several suitcases in front of him, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

So should I stay and see what happens?
