Chapter 416: Coaxing a Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Xing had been driving seriously from the beginning to the end and did not say a word. Although he did not say anything, He Xing’s gaze fell on Du Yue from time to time. She was right… The longer they spent together, the more it felt like they were coaxing a child! After sharing a common enemy with Du Yue, Xia Ju stopped thinking about that matter and turned to look behind her.

“When we got in the car just now, I noticed that there’s a car following us. Do you know who it is? You guys went out for so long just now. Did you encounter some trouble?” If Xia Ju had discovered that they were being followed, it was impossible for Du Yue and He Xing not to notice. When they heard Xia Ju’s question again, the two of them did not deny it.

Du Yue told Xia Ju what happened just now. “It’s not a big deal. They probably can’t take it lying down and want to follow us to take revenge!”

Xia Ju’s dark eyes darted around. “Then let’s not go home first. We’ll just drive to a place far away from people. That way, it’ll be easier for them to make a move, and it’ll be more convenient for us too.”

Hearing this, Du Yue looked at Xia Ju with admiration. It had to be said that Xia Ju’s personality was somewhat similar to hers. They both liked to solve problems immediately and did not like to drag things out. Putting everything else aside, with Xia Ju’s personality, they could continue to get along happily.

He Xing drove for a few hours yesterday, and it was definitely not for nothing. He was already familiar with the roads in the fourth base. It was not difficult to find a place that was both open and quiet. After driving for another 20 minutes, He Xing slowly stopped the car at the foot of a mountain. Without waiting for Du Yue and He Xing to unbuckle their seatbelts, Xia Ju was already eager to give it a try. “I’ll go down myself. You two wait for me in the car!”

Looking at the excited Xia Ju, Du Yue slowly shook her head. “Don’t be rash. Wait a little longer.”

He Xing continued, “Let’s see what they do first.”

Xia Ju blinked. “Alright. What if they come to us?”

“Then let them learn their lesson.” As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, she heard the sound of a car engine.

The three of them looked at the source of the sound at the same time and saw a few cars rushing over from behind, surrounding He Xing’s off-road vehicle in the middle. The cars had just stopped when the door of one of the cars opened from the inside and someone got out.

It was none other than the middle-aged man from earlier. Guo Deyou walked arrogantly and stood in front of He Xing’s car. “Don’t hide in the car. If you don’t want to suffer, get out of the car and apologize. If you make me happy, I won’t hold it against you. Otherwise, don’t blame us for taking action! Go out and ask around. In the entire base, who doesn’t know my name, Guo Deyou? I think you’re really a newborn calf that’s not afraid of tigers!”

In the off-road vehicle, although the doors and windows were closed, Du Yue could still hear Guo Deyou’s threat clearly.

Du Yue and He Xing did not have much of a reaction, but Xia Ju rolled her eyes at him. “These lines are too old-fashioned! Look at how arrogant he is. Does he think he’s so cool now?”

Guo Deyou, who was in front of the car, obviously thought so. In the next second, he put his hands on his hips and laughed wantonly and arrogantly. Du Yue looked at him and felt speechless. She really could not stand this performance anymore. Du Yue took out her gun and prepared to make a move. At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded from outside.

This sound came so suddenly that Du Yue, who had just taken out her gun, was stunned. She subconsciously looked at He Xing and Xia Ju. Seeing their shocked faces, Du Yue was sure that someone else had fired. Guo Deyou, who was standing in front of the car, was also shocked by the sudden gunshot. His hands on his hips began to tremble, and his expression was ugly.

After a while, Guo Deyou slowly turned around. Seeing his cautious movements, Du Yue guessed that he probably thought he had been shot, so he was so scared that he stood rooted to the ground. However, it was obvious that the shot did not hit anyone. After Guo Deyou realized that he was not injured, he felt that he had been fooled. His anger grew stronger as he began to shout at the air, “Who fired that shot? Come out if you have the ability! What kind of man hides in the dark?!” Guo Deyou shouted a few times, but he did not receive any response.

He looked into the car angrily. “Great, you actually called for help! You drove us to this desolate mountain and even let your accomplices hide in the dark to shoot. You’re too sinister!”

Listening to Guo Deyou’s words, Du Yue felt speechless. She did not even know who the shooter was.. How did Guo Deyou determine that the person was their accomplice?
