NOVEL NEXT “Help! Is there anyone? Help!” Su Ruoqing was pressed to the ground and unable to move. Fear engulfed her. She could only shout loudly, hoping someone could save her.
The man was provoked by her continuous struggle and shout, so he directly slapped her in the face, making Su Ruoqing a little dizzy. She felt a sharp pain in her face.
“You’d better conserve your strength and obey me. In that case, maybe I can still consider keeping you alive. If you resist me like this again, I’ll kill you.”
The man used more strength to press her down, and Su Ruoqing became even more helpless. She made up her mind that she must not let him insult her, or she would commit suicide.
“If you dare to touch me today, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost,” Su Ruoqing shouted out with her last strength.
“Did you hear anything? It seems like a girl is crying for help.” It happened that Bai Peiya walked past the neighborhood and heard Su Ruoqing cry for help. She immediately came over with some soldiers.
At this time, Su Ruoqing was still trying her best to resist that man. He tried to rip her clothes off, but he didn’t expect that Su Ruoqing’s pistol, which had been hidden on her body beforehand, dropped to the ground.
The pistol fell right next to her. She immediately picked it up and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
Although the bullet missed that man, he was startled. While he was distracted, Su Ruoqing kicked him off her body.
“Don’t come over. If you come back, I’ll shoot you.” Su Ruoqing’s eyes turned red, and her hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
“Bitch, do you think you can scare me with a gun?” The man stood up and continued to approach Su Ruoqing.
“What are you doing?!” Bai Peiya and others arrived in time, and several guns were aimed at the man’s head.
Seeing that someone finally came to save her, Su Ruoqing eased her tension. She could no longer hold the gun, so she threw it away directly. Then she couldn’t help but collapse on the ground.
“Miss, are you alright?” Bai Peiya raised Su Ruoqing up and said, “Don’t be afraid.”
Looking at Su Ruoqing’s expression, Bai Peiya could tell what had happened. “You two stay here and give that man a lesson, and you two escort us back.”
After they walked away for a while, Su Ruoqing heard a few gunshots. Although that man deserved it, he was the first person that had lost his life because of her…
Bai Peiya returned to the villa with Su Ruoqing. All the soldiers had changed into normal clothes to hide their identities, so Su Ruoqing found nothing unusual.
At this time, Su Ruoqing was in rags, and her face was covered with dirt. Therefore, several soldiers who had seen her before did not recognize her.
“You can have a good rest here. Take a shower and change into clean clothes. I’m a little taller than you, so maybe my clothes won’t fit you.”
Su Ruoqing felt so lucky to be saved by Bai Peiya, so she was grateful to her.
“Thank you so much. If you hadn’t brought others to save me today, I really don’t know…”
“You don’t have to thank us. Everyone would have helped you in that situation.”
Bai Peiya ordered someone to take good care of Su Ruoqing, which made her more grateful.
“I don’t know how to repay you. My name is Su Ruoqing. May I have your name? I will definitely repay you in the future,” Su Ruoqing said earnestly. Bai Peiya couldn’t help smiling when seeing her like this.
As the President’s daughter, she had no true friends from childhood, and over time, she became more arrogant and aloof. When seeing that Su Ruoqing was a delicate but strong girl, she was even a little appreciative of her character.
“My name is Bai Peiya. You don’t have to repay me. Fate has brought us together, and I am glad to be your friend.”
Su Ruoqing nodded, and her eyes became red and swollen. “Of course I will be your friend, but I have an urgent matter now. I need to find someone and I’m afraid I can’t delay any more.”
Hearing that Suo Ruoqing was eager to leave, Bai Peiya didn’t refuse. “Where are you going to find that person? I’ll ask someone to send you there.”
Thinking about the social status of Leng Yuhe and the current fierce fighting between the two armies, Su Ruoqing decided not to tell her the truth.
“Miss Bai, I am sorry. I…”
Seeing Su Ruoqing’s hesitant look, Bai Peiya understood that she was reluctant to tell the truth. “It’s okay. I’ll ask someone to help you pack up and send you to that place.”
“Miss Bai, you don’t have to find someone to escort me…”
Realizing that Su Ruoqing refused to accept her good intentions, Bai Peiya also felt a bit embarrassed. She did not put on an unhappy expression, but her appreciation and enthusiasm for Su Ruoqing also faded. She directly turned away and left.
After resting for a while in the villa, Su Ruoqing became more worried about Leng Yuhe. She decided not to stay here anymore, but Bai Peiya didn’t appear.
She had no choice but to leave a note expressing her gratitude and apologies. She also left her necklace on the table as a proof of repaying Bai Peiya in the future. Without disturbing anyone, she sneaked away.
When Bai Peiya entered the room to look for her, she found that Su Ruoqing had already left. She picked up the note on the table and took a look at the necklace. Then she asked her subordinates to put them away and forgot her encounter with Su Ruoqing.
Su Ruoqing walked for a long time before reaching the border, only to find that the army’s barracks had already been blown up. She had no idea where to find Leng Yuhe.
When she was panicked, a soldier sent by Leng Yuhe to patrol the border saw her. It was beyond doubt that all subordinates of Leng Yuhe knew Su Ruoqing. If it wasn’t because of the dirt on her face, she might have met with Leng Yuhe much earlier.
“Madam, why are you here?”
When hearing someone talking, Su Ruoqing turned around. “You are…”
“I was sent by General Leng to inspect the situation. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
When knowing that Leng Yuhe sent this soldier here, Su Ruoqing finally felt relieved. Since he could still send someone on an errand, he must be fine.
“I’m here to find General Leng, but how did the barracks become like this?”
Hearing that Su Ruoqing was looking for Leng Yuhe, the soldier took her back to the villa. On their way, he told her what had happened recently.
The army’s victory and Leng Yuhe’s injury made Su Ruoqing have mixed feelings, and she became more urgent to see him.
…
Bai Chongxiu helped Leng Yuhe spread the information of their location and spent the next few days waiting for next move.
“Peiya, I heard them say that you saved a woman.”
“Yeah, but she’s not very grateful. She has already left.”
Before the two of them finished speaking, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out, and Bai Chongxiu protected Bai Peiya behind him.
“What’s going on?”
“Master, it may be that the enemies have sent spies to investigate our situation after they heard the news.”
Hearing the gunshot, Leng Yuhe also ran out of his room. “Kill all of them. Don’t keep anyone alive.” He understood that only the death of these spies would convince Shen Nan that they were hiding here without so much strength left.
After he gave the order, all the soldiers fired at those spies without showing any mercy.
Bai Peiya had no weapons and could only crouch in a hidden place, but she did not notice that a person behind her was getting closer and closer.
“Be careful!”
Without knowing what had happened, Bai Peiya only felt that she was hugged tightly by someone and then rolled on the ground. After several gunshots, it became silent again.
Bai Peiya looked up and saw Leng Yuhe’s angular and handsome face. She could smell his minty breathing, which dispelled the pungent smell of blood.
He held her in his arms with one hand, while holding the gun firmly with the other. He shot the enemy in the head. A blood-red hole appeared on that man’s forehead, and he was instantly killed.
At this moment, Bai Peiya felt that Leng Yuhe seemed to be her savior. She placed her hands around his waist and was unwilling to let him go.
“Peiya, are you okay?”
When Bai Chongxiu went forward, she came to her senses and suddenly let go of Leng Yuhe.
Leng Yuhe stood up expressionlessly. “The battlefield is full of danger. Miss Bai, please don’t stay here for too long. You shall go back home early to ensure your own safety.”
Bai Peiya smiled brightly at Leng Yuhe, who was much taller than herself. “I’m not afraid. Besides, you saved me from danger just now.”
Bai Chongxiu felt that his sister was flirting with Leng Yuhe. Before he could say something to stop her, he was interrupted by Leng Yuhe.
“I did save you this time, but it won’t happen next time. My bullets are used to kill enemies, not to protect vulnerable ladies.” After saying that, he dusted his coat and left without giving Bai Peiya a chance to speak.
Although his words were harsh, Bai Peiya didn’t get angry at him. Instead, she shouted at his back, “I know. I won’t let you save me in the future.” Leng Yuhe didn’t even stop.
Looking at his sister, Bai Chongxiu was a little angry. “Peiya, what are you doing? Didn’t you say you have no feelings towards him?”
“That was true before. Now that he saved me, it’s reasonable that I take a fancy to him.”
Bai Peiya’s good cultivation made her unable to show a delighted look now, but her cheerful voice made Bai Chongxiu understand that she really liked Leng Yuhe.
Leng Yuhe walked over to the bodies of those who had just been killed. “Have these people been identified?”
“General, we have confirmed their identities. They are all enemies.”
“Good.” Leng Yuhe felt comforted that things were progressing in the direction they expected. Since the spies didn’t return, Shen Nan would definitely think that Leng Yuhe killed them on purpose. In this case, Leng Yuhe was sure that Shen Nan would send his troops to attack them.
“For the following days, we should be more careful in our defense. The enemies may arrive at any time. We should also be ready to fight with them and eventually annihilate them.”
Seeing that Leng Yuhe was a decisive and resourceful man, Bai Peiya felt that the man she loved was so excellent. She was more infatuated with him and involuntarily wanted to follow him.
Bai Chongxiu understood her character. She was a stubborn and aggressive girl, so he would no longer interfere with her feelings for Leng Yuhe.
