Chapter 26: Mutual Non-Indebtedness

  The quiet hall, dimly lit, illuminated every corner. In the fleeting time, a stealthy figure emerged from the bathroom, tiptoeing out quietly. Li Ruoxi's gaze, still carrying the lingering shyness and indignation, quickly swept across the empty hall, finding no one there. Her heart, like a startled deer, slowed down its racing beat.

  After all, she was still an innocent and naive young woman. No matter how intelligent she was, her body, which had been preserved for twenty years with ice-like purity, was seen clearly by a man for the first time without any reserve. She was still filled with panic and complexity.

  "That bastard actually saw through me, I must make him pay."

  Li Ruoxi hastily ran up to the second floor and rushed into her own bedroom, where she gritted her teeth and secretly seethed with a flushed face.

  However, the large and thick object that emerged in her mind made her moan involuntarily, as if all her strength had been drained away, and she slumped softly onto the soft Simmons bed.

  "Pfft, what was I thinking? I wasn't intentionally looking at him, it's just... he suddenly burst in and didn't even give himself time to speak before taking off his pants... Ugh, that thing is so ugly, I..."

  In the midst of her embarrassed murmurs, Li Ruoxi's slender white hands covered her scorching face, that sense of shame making her feel like she truly had no face to show anyone.

  After a while, Li Ruoxi sat up from the bed, her face's shyness had completely disappeared, replaced by icy coldness. Although she could feel that Wang Ke's intrusion into the bathroom was not intentional, he had still taken advantage of her, and absolutely couldn't be let off so easily.

  But!

  What can he do if he finds himself in such a situation?

  Can't forgive him, how to deal with him? Can't beat him up? Can't even fight back?

  She hesitated in her heart, thinking for a while, and after a few minutes, her bright eyes wandered with cunning charm, even with strong laughter.

  The night in the villa area is quiet everywhere.

  In a dark forest not far from the security room, five young people wearing security uniforms were smoking cigarettes with worried faces. If someone stood in front of them at this moment, they would definitely see the color of fear in their eyes.

  "Ming Ge, I can't take it anymore. We have to escape, get out of Changji City, get out of Xijiang Province, the farther the better. Li Yinhutou is after all the leader of the local hooligans in Changji City, and this time we've beaten him into a pulp. He'll definitely go crazy with revenge against us. Rather than waiting for death here, it's better to escape far away and never see him again in our lives." One of the young men with a pointed mouth and chin spoke up, breaking the silence around them.

  "Run? How can we run? Even if we escape, our families will still be here. With Li Yinhutou's connections, he'll have all the information about us in three days. What about our families? Are we supposed to take them with us when we run? Who has the money for that? Who wants to lose their home? If we run away without any money, how will we survive?" One of the young men said with a bitter face.

  "He's a scoundrel! We should have killed Li Yinhut that bastard back then and been done with it. He invited us to play cards, and in just half a month, we lost all our family property. And for the past five days, he's been trying every trick in the book to get us to follow him around, even blocking our way so we couldn't come back. If we hadn't discovered his cheating ways during the card game yesterday, we'd still be in the dark!" Another burly young man cursed angrily.

  "Never mind that, what are we going to do next? We need a solution that benefits both sides! Otherwise, the few of us will end up being slaughtered and thrown into the Gan River to feed the fish and shrimp." The sharp-mouthed young man said irritably.

  "What else can we do? If Li Yinhutou was just a local thug, the five of us brothers could gather some people and confront him, but his older cousin is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Changji City. I reckon that by now, he already knows about Li Yinhutou being severely injured by us."

  The young man who had not spoken up until now, with a sharp glint in his eyes, slowly spoke up after the other four fell silent: "I do have a plan, but I don't know if you brothers are willing to go along with it."

  The other four people were shocked at the same time, and their eyes fell on this calm companion in an instant.

  "What's the solution? Tell me quickly." The thin and weak young man with a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks asked urgently.

  The apathetic young man's gaze slowly swept around, and he said in a low voice: "We must leave Changji City. Li Yinhutu's vengeful personality, I think you all understand. We beat him so badly today that he will probably go crazy seeking revenge against us. And escaping from Changji City, we don't have any money on us, and we also need to bring our families with us. So my plan is, we must find a way to get some money as quickly as possible, at least enough for us to live on for a while after we leave. Which place has the most money?"

  The young man with a pointed mouth and cheekbones said quickly: "Of course it's the bank, do you want us to rob the bank? Or rob an armored car?"

  "Idiot, I'm not tired of living yet. Can't you use your brain for once? Where are we now?" Coldly scolded in a low voice.

  The young man with a pointed mouth and swollen cheeks looked ugly for a moment, but after thinking carefully, he suddenly exclaimed: "We are in the villa area, you mean to say that we will take action in this villa area? Ah! How could I not have thought of it?! The people living here are all wealthy and influential figures, if we kidnap one and rob a large sum of money, we can definitely leave without any problem."

  The apathetic young man said in a low voice: "You're not stupid after all. However, if we can avoid robbery, let's not rob. We've been security guards here for almost two years and are familiar with every household. This villa area is so big, with so many households, we can choose a few villas that are usually empty or have no one at home recently, go in and steal some valuable things, sell them and leave Changji City with our families immediately. What do you think?"

  The other four people looked at each other in dismay, and the young man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks asked in confusion: "Why do we have to steal instead of rob? Stealing is not necessarily successful, but robbing is different. If they don't hand over their money obediently, we can give them a good beating."

  The apathetic young man said in a low voice, "Housebreaking and robbery are serious crimes. Are you willing to bear such a heavy sin? Stealing is different, even if we're caught in the end, it won't be sentenced to many years. Do you agree or disagree with my plan?"

  Four people's eyes sparkled with thought, and finally, the robust young man said in a loud and clear voice: "I agree, if I wasn't afraid that my wife would cheat on me and make me wear a green hat, I wouldn't do such sneaky things."

  The young man with a pointed mouth and cheekbones had a sharp glint in his eyes, turned his head to look at the robust young man, and only then spoke up: "I agree too, we're now at a dead end, can only take a gamble. However, we need to deliberate carefully, which house should we steal from?"

  Then the other two also agreed with this suggestion.

  "I happen to know that the owner of one of the villas is not at home. Do you guys remember that beautiful girl from our villa district? She looks like she's only around 20 years old, and as far as I know, she hasn't been back for many days, seems like she went out of town. Although I don't know if she's back now, but there's only a nanny in her villa, we just need to be careful, it's no big deal." The sharp-mouthed young man's eyes flashed with a lewd glint, and he chuckled quietly.

  "I also know that beauty, these days you've all been enjoying yourselves. I came back twice, and when I was on duty, I didn't see that girl at all. She must not have returned from outside yet. I agree with this idea, let's steal things from her house." The indifferent young man agreed directly.

  Afterwards, the five of them gathered together to discuss for a while and then decided on a villa that was almost never inhabited at ordinary times. They then quickly and stealthily left the dark little woods.

  Li Ruoxi's villa, the lights in the first floor hall were gently turned off by her, and the dimly lit hall, she wore a white nightgown, with that flowing long hair scattered, bright eyes flashing with a hint of cunning and annoyance, tiptoeing to sit down on the sofa in the hall.

  Her slender white hand held a self-defense electric baton, slowly putting it into the pocket of her pajamas, and then took a deep breath, pulled out her phone and dialed Wang Ke's cell phone number.

  "Sorry, the number you dialed has been enabled with short message service, if you..."

  Li Ruoxi's expression turned dull, and she suddenly became enraged: "This damned guy, he actually shut down his phone! Doesn't he know that as a bodyguard, you have to be on call 24 hours a day? Humph, I'll teach him a lesson later. I must make him remember the duties and responsibilities of being a bodyguard."

  She stood up, her perfect figure outlined a tempting curve, she underestimated her own beauty, and didn't even think that if she stood like this in front of a physiologically normal man, how much impact it would have on the other person, how much temptation it would constitute. Probably, men with slightly weaker self-control would pounce on her and take her down right there.

  "Bang bang......"

  The door of Wang Ke's residence was knocked loudly by Li Ruoxi.

  In the room, Wang Ke had concentrated all his attention and was wholeheartedly reciting the contents of the ten printed papers when he was interrupted by a forceful knock on the door.

  His eyebrows slightly furrowed, and with a look of discontent on his face, he asked, "Who is it?"

  Li Ruoxi naturally didn't have a good tone and loudly shouted: "Wang Ke, come out for me!"

  Wang Ke stood there, holding the printed paper, his expression dull and his brow furrowed even deeper. The scene that had just unfolded made him feel a little afraid to face Li Ruoxi.

  "Anything wrong? I was already asleep." Wang Ke said quickly.

  Li Ruoxi slightly angrily said: "Are you trying to deceive a ghost? You can still talk in your sleep? Come out, I'll be waiting for you in the main hall."

  After finishing speaking, she kicked one foot on Wang Ke's door and then turned around to walk towards the sofa in the hall.

  Wang Ke listened to the sound of Li Ruoxi kicking the door with her foot, and silently cursed in his heart: It's really hard to raise a young girl. This statement was indeed true, as he had almost seen through Li Ruoxi before, and she must have come to settle accounts with him.

  A wry smile appeared on his face, and Wang Ke gritted his teeth and hummed: "Whether it's good fortune or bad luck, bad luck can't be avoided. Although he had seen her body, she had also seen his own big one, so in this way, they were even, neither owed the other anything. If he dared to make a scene, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson, no matter if she was the boss, he still had human rights!

  With these thoughts in mind, Wang Ke dressed neatly and turned off the bedroom light after opening the door, heading towards the living room.
