A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 987 Rescued and Returned

"Alright, have some decency. Are you going to stay, or go back with the brothers?" A'gen asked.

"Of course I'm going back with the brothers. You don't know Brother Leopard, once he gets into it, it lasts a long time. He went to great lengths to get that noble lady he had, and he stayed in bed with her for two or three days straight. I heard from the servants he sent that the girl's legs were so sore she couldn't even close her mouth properly, she looked like a dead person. I can't wait that long. You rarely do these kinds of things, so I'll have to trouble you this time. I'm taking the brothers back to rest first."

Gui'er and Dingxiang clearly heard their conversation from behind the door.

Dingxiang silently shed tears again. Gui'er made a shushing gesture, then pointed to Dingxiang's room and led her tiptoeing to the door.

Just in case, Gui'er took out Ouyang Bao's pistol, held it in her hand, and then gently pushed open the door.

What came into view was blood everywhere and Ouyang Bao lying motionless in a pool of blood.

Dingxiang's eyes widened like saucers, and she quickly covered her mouth with both hands to keep herself from making a sound.

“He’s dead. He only has one of his men left. Although the two of us have guns, I reckon his men are also armed. We need to figure out what to do.”

"What, what should we do, Miss?"

"I moved him to another room, pretended he was asleep, bought him time, and then moved him to my room."

"Okay." The will to survive had overcome the fear. Dingxiang moved quickly and tried to drag Ouyang Bao's body away, but as she did, bloodstains followed.

"No, no, so much blood, it'll give us away!" Gui'er quickly stopped her.

"It's alright, Miss, watch me." Dingxiang quickly pulled down the large mosquito net from her bed and placed it in the pool of blood. Sure enough, the mosquito net had a very strong water absorption capacity, and in no time, it had absorbed more than half of the blood on the ground.

“Miss, don’t worry, I have an idea.” Dingxiang found the quilt again and spread it out at the door. “Miss, give me a hand and put this thing on the quilt. We can drag it over without getting the floor dirty.”

Gui'er suddenly understood. She quickly moved Ouyang Bao over by one person moving his head and the other moving his feet, and then dragged him to Gui'er's room.

Dingxiang brought a towel and wiped Ouyang Bao's body, then the two of them placed him naked on the bed with his back to the door.

"Dingxiang, there's blood on your shoes. Go change them. Lock your door so no one can see."

"Okay." Dingxiang immediately did as instructed.

After doing all this, Gui'er walked to the window facing the street and looked down. She didn't see anyone watching her anymore. It seemed that Ouyang Bao's men were sure it really was Ouyang Bao and let them go.

"Miss, what should we do now? Should we wait for Brother Cheng and the others to come back?"

"Let's see when the time is right. If we can wait, that would be best. If I shoot and kill that policeman downstairs, it will definitely make a lot of noise and disturb the neighbors. If things are exposed, we will go to jail in Hong Kong for killing a policeman."

“But Ouyang Bao’s men all know he’s here. How can we explain this?” Ding Xiang said, frowning.

“That’s true, but let’s wait a bit. At least we need to notify Brother Wu and Brother Cheng to leave together, otherwise it will be troublesome if we run away first and they get caught when they come back.”

Gui'er went through all the steps but still couldn't come up with a good solution. However, after looking around the house, she suddenly realized she needed to give Wu Mingqiang and the others a signal, so she went into her bedroom.

Ouyang Bao's corpse was lying on the bed in this bedroom. She really didn't want to come in. However, there was a window in this bedroom that faced the street. Gui'er took out a red silk scarf and tied it to the window frame. This would be eye-catching enough, and she hoped that Wu Mingqiang and Acheng would see it as soon as they came back.

Just as they finished doing all this, there was a knock on the door of the second-floor stairwell. A'gen cautiously asked from outside, "Brother Leopard and the others have all gone back. What are your orders?"

Dingxiang turned pale with fright. Gui'er whispered, "I'll go into the room first. You go open the door and don't let him into your room."

After that, she quickly went into the room, climbed onto the bed and lay down on the inside of Ouyang Bao. She turned Ouyang Bao over so that his back was to the door, then messed up her hair, unbuttoned her clothes to make herself look disheveled, and put Ouyang Bao's hand on her shoulder.

Dingxiang opened the door, and A'gen politely asked, "Sister Dingxiang, where is Brother Leopard?"

Dingxiang pointed expressionlessly to Gui'er's room. A'gen saw the door was open, so he walked straight in and said, "Brother Leopard, um..."

Just as he was about to continue, he saw Ouyang Bao's pale body lying on the bed, his hand on Gui'er's body. Gui'er lazily raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw A'gen, she was so frightened that she let out an "Ah!" and then lowered her head and shrank back. A'gen stood there, embarrassed and scared. At this moment, Ouyang Bao raised his hand and waved it out, telling A'gen to get off.

Gui'er feigned embarrassment and said, "Didn't you hear Brother Leopard calling you to come down?"

Argen hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll go down right away."

After A'gen left, Dingxiang hurriedly went over and closed the door on the second floor. Then she ran into Gui'er's room. Gui'er also got up quickly. It turned out that she had been hiding inside and using her hands to control Ouyang Bao's hand to make waving gestures.

Seeing that the matter was temporarily resolved, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Dingxiang said worriedly, "Miss, what will happen to your reputation if this gets out?"

Gui'er said nonchalantly, "We're about to lose our lives, what do we care about reputation? Let's talk about it after we survive."

Before they knew it, it was afternoon. Wu Mingqiang returned excitedly with the rescued Chen Zhongyu and Xu Jing. He hadn't expected that the people from the White Tiger Hall that Longxing had hired were quite capable. They went to two locations and pretended to be two groups of thugs causing trouble, attracting the guards outside. Then they let the guards in to rescue them. By the time they had rescued the people, the guards were still watching the commotion outside.

Wu Mingqiang happily rewarded the people of the White Tiger Hall, then led Chen Zhongyu and Xu Jing to his lodgings. Xu Jing originally wanted to go home, but everyone dissuaded him. They said that if Ouyang Bao found out, he would definitely go to his house to demand his return first. It was better to find a place to hide first and go back after Long Xing dealt with Ouyang Bao.

The group returned to the street corner in high spirits. Wu Mingqiang looked up and saw a red silk scarf hanging in Gui'er's window. He was instantly stunned.

"Wait, something's not right." Wu Mingqiang immediately stopped everyone.

Acheng also noticed the red silk scarf: "Could this be a signal from Miss? What does it mean? Has Ouyang Bao found this place?"
