Chapter 137: Caught in the act
As soon as she finished speaking, an eerie silence spread all over the gas station. Though Bai Meiyue sensed the change, she still pretended to be dumb and asked, "What? Don’t tell me that you just wanted to thank us verbally. We put our lives at risk to save yours. This is what we deserve."@@@@
Xiao Guan was left stunned when he heard Bai Meiyue’s words but he blinked his eyes and recovered quite quickly before saying to her, "Then can you give me a few minutes? I need to discuss this matter with my team." Though he was the team leader, most of the supplies were with Hu Ajing and the two women who came with her.
"You can," Bai Meiyue sneered. "But do remind them that it was us who dealt with the man-eating monsters when you couldn’t."
Though she didn’t say anything, Xiao Guan understood her meaning. If he didn’t hand over a decent amount of supplies, they would probably be beaten by these people.
Xiao Guan was not willing but he had no choice.
"Is this necessary?" Yun Chuan asked after hesitating for a while when Xiao Guan walked away.
"It is necessary," replied Bai Meiyue coldly. "If we do not take their supplies, they would take it for granted. It is their fortune that they were able to survive today. But what if they make a habit of relying on others all the time? Whats more, who can guarantee that these people will not follow us and ask us to protect them?"
"Look carefully; a few of the members have looked here more than once."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Guofu raised his cold face and looked at the crowd of people. Indeed, a few of them were looking over to where they were standing and seemed to be teetering on the verge of speech.
She turned to Bai Zhan and asked him to fill the gas tank and walked out of the gas station. However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Lu Yin following Lei Yan, who was heading towards the small alley that was not far from the gas station.
Bai Meiyue’s eyes flashed with annoyance as she chased after the two women.
Lu Yin didn’t know that she had been caught; she was still following Lei Yan with a dagger in her hand. As long as she could slash Lei Yan’s throat, she wouldn’t have to worry about being abandoned any more.
She raised the dagger in her hand and was about to bring it down when someone caught her by her wrist and pulled her back.
Lei Yan, who sensed something, turned to look behind her but when she didn’t see anything, she happily rushed inside the small candy store.
"It seems like you really do not understand human language ah," Bai Meiyue grabbed Lu Yin by her throat and slammed her against the wall. "I told you that if you make another move, I will kill you. Is it because you think you are too strong or do you think that I was just throwing threats around that I do not mean?"
"Let—let go of me." Lu Yin tried to get rid of the fingers that were clutching her throat and kicked Bai Meiyue’s knees with her legs. Seeing this, Bai Meiyue sneered and said, "Let go of you? If I let go of you, who will let go of Lei Yan? With how thick your head is, I believe even if I tell you to leave her alone, you wouldn’t listen to me, right?"
"Then isn’t it better to kill you? After all, only dead people are obedient."
Lu Yin’s eyes widened when she heard Bai Meiyue’s words. She tried to struggle even harder when Bai Meiyue tightened her grip on her neck even more, making her gasp for breath.
BANG!
