The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain

World Nine. Amnesiac Lover (52)

It was Yang Liu’er calling her.

Xue Xue squinted his eyes and took a moment to confirm where Yang Liu’er was.

“You…” Seeing Xue Xue’s composed expression, Yang Liu’er couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you nervous at all?”

In response, Xue Xue chuckled softly.

“Nervous?” She turned the question back on Yang Liu’er. “And what about you? Are you nervous?”

Yang Liu’er choked.

“Of course I’m nervous!” She seemed to realize that she spoke too loudly. She was silent for a moment before lowering her voice and said, “We are being kidnapped now. What should we do?”

Xue Xue did not answer.

Yang Liu’er was unhappy after being ignored openly.

Xue Xue shot her a glance.

“You are so noisy.”

Yang Liuer’s eyes suddenly widened.

“And it’s so strange.”

Stifling the question that almost slipped out, Yang Liu’er’s body tensed momentarily.

“You were always indifferent and had a bad attitude when you met me before.” Xue Xue, who finally had a clear head, decided to add more fuel to the fire. “As you said, we have been kidnapped now. How come you are still in the mood to talk to me?”

Yang Liu’er, who had originally planned to argue, suddenly kept quiet when Xue Xue accurately pointed out the problem.

In the end, she could only dryly respond, “Because I’m nervous.”

She said it, and Xue Xue made a noncommittal sound, leaving Yang Liu’er unsure whether she believed her or not.

However, over the next stretch of road, Yang Liu’er finally fell silent. She curled up in a corner, avoiding eye contact with Xue Xue.

Xue Xue was relieved that Yang Liu’er kept her distance.

She really didn’t want to have too many interactions with people who conspired with others to commit kidnappings for their own selfish reasons.

Fortunately, it would soon come to an end.

Once this matter was resolved, Yang Liu’er, her, and Luo Chi would go their separate ways—each on their own path in life.

Thinking about it, Xue Xue felt content.

“Is the signal still active?”

“No issues at the moment.” Lan Hu stared at the red dot on the display screen. “They’re heading toward Yanmen Mountain. I remember there’s an old industrial area on the mountain’s back. It was originally slated for development, but complications arose during land reclassification. The previous owner couldn’t handle the financial pressure and sold it off to the Dragon Gang a couple of years ago.”

“Hmm.” Luo Chi opened his eyes. “And if I recall correctly, the manager is He Quan, right?”

“Yes, after Long Ao acquired the land, he put He Quan in charge of it. Apparently, they intended to use it as a storage location for smuggled goods.”

“Interesting…”

As the two conversed, the red dot that had been moving normally suddenly began to flicker, as if it could disappear at any moment.

“Boss?”

“It’s fine. Turn off the network. It’s normal not to have a signal there, but at least we know their destination.” Luo Chi said expressionlessly, “Let’s proceed according to the original plan.”

The gravel road jostled the car.

The undigested food churned in their stomachs.

Yang Liu’er emitted a nauseous sound that irritated Xue Xue.

“Yang Liu’er.”

“…Hmm.”

“Can you please be quiet? It’s annoying.”

“…” Although the light was dim, Xue Xue could still see Yang Liu’er’s red face because of her words. “I didn’t mean it.”

She whispered.

Xue Xue held back from voicing her skepticism about Yang Liu’er’s claim that she wasn’t intentionally making noise.

Time seemed extremely long.

Yang Liu’er probably couldn’t hold it anymore, so in order to divert her attention, she started to “chat” with Xue Xue again.

“You are really weird.”

“…What?”

“You’re different from when we first met.” Yang Liu’er perked up, speaking rapidly. “Ever since you came to our village, I had a strong feeling that you were here to steal my man.”

“…”

“Although you may say that Brother Luo Chi is not my man, I believe that as long as you hadn’t come, if we continued staying in Yang’s village, he would eventually fall for me. Even if he didn’t fall for me, in the end, he would still marry me.”

Yang Liu’er’s voice gradually lowered. “Because… that’s the only way he can take care of me. As long as I persist a little longer.”

“If you hadn’t come…” Yang Liu’er’s emotions suddenly erupted. “Why did you come? Why didn’t you just stay in Yancheng and be your gang leader? Why… why didn’t you let me and Luo Chi live our lives peacefully in Yang’s village?”

Her eyes widened in anger, accusing Xue Xue as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Although it was ill-timed, Xue Xue couldn’t help but laugh.

That crisp, mockingly light chuckle made Yang Liu’er’s face flush.

“Why are you laughing?” she snapped. “What’s so funny?”
