Chapter 15
Green Pear’s temples swelled with pain, and a patch of white light appeared in front of her eyes as if she were looking directly at the sun, making her dizzy in the dimly lit room.
She sat down on her knees next to Martha’s body and lifted the sheet a little, her eyesight seeming to coalesce into a single point, moving up a little bit from her bruise-covered arm until she saw Martha’s bare . . a teeth mark on her bare shoulder so deep that it was black and still oozing with blood stains.
She cringed, the sheet slipping from her hands and re-covering Martha’s bruises all over, and she got up abruptly as if she’d been stabbed, taking a few unsteady steps backward and crashing into a short plastic table in the corner.
Qing Li turned around and saw textbooks and workbooks scattered on the table, as well as an ice compartment with frozen ice cubes.
That ice compartment she knew, Martha had gotten frozen ice cubes from somewhere so that the popsicles she bought wouldn’t melt, and I think it had a small crack in it, and Martha had taken the glue she sold at home and tried to glue it back together and then proceeded to bring it in for use.
“Martha …… is dead again.”
“Is that a bag for Martha?” Masha’s mother suddenly spoke, her voice muffled like dry bark, and she didn’t know how long she had been wailing.
Green Pear dropped her eyes blankly, looking at the bright orange bag in her hand, “Yes.”
“Martha said you were going to buy her a new bag, she’s going to fill it with her textbooks and carry it to school.”
Green Pear felt an unspeakable sense of guilt and apology, “I’m sorry …… this bag might be a little too small to hold her textbooks, I’ll buy her a new school bag.”
“No need.” Martha’s mother said.
Aoori was shocked, yes, Martha was dead, whatever kind of school bag she had was no longer useful.
She thought again of the white, light figure in the rearview mirror as she left that day, and the expectant and reluctant look in Martha’s eyes.
“It’s my fault.” Aonashi’s lips were pale, her hands clenched into fists.
Martha’s mother looked up at her and said nothing.
For it was a fact that could not be denied.
The town had a population of a few thousand people, and there weren’t a lot of little girls like Martha, but Reb picked Martha because everyone on the base knew that the only friend that Aonashi had on this side of the world that was still a friend was Martha.
This is Rebel’s revenge, he can’t move Qingli, so he went to find Martha to do it.
Qing Li looked at Martha’s mother and left the room without saying a word.
“Any news from Rebel?” She asked Chen Sai.
Chen Sai shook her head.
“What about Elephant and Falcon?” Qing Li asked.
Elephant and Falcon were the two people who were the best at scouting, in the past, when someone stole something from Yue Zhi and didn’t even leave a single fingerprint, the two of them stepped in, and in less than eight hours, they brought the person who stole the item and the item that was stolen to Yue Zhi’s face.
“One in the Philippines, one in Africa, led the team to escort the tanker, those two places a security unrest and a rampant piracy, was going to send you there tomorrow as well.” Chen Sai frowned into a dead knot, obviously Rebel’s matter affected the original plan.
The walkie-talkie rang again, and Green Pear heard Mongema’s voice.
“Mongoma has found some tracks in the rainforest east of the town.” Chen Sai instead became more worried, “With Rebel’s level, it’s impossible to make this kind of mistake, it’s almost like ……”
“A trap deliberately left to lure us in.” Qing Li raised her eyes to look at Chen Sai, “Or a trap to lure me onto the hook.”
After saying that, she turned around and ran wildly towards the east, Chen Sai shouted at her several times from behind, but she treated it as if she couldn’t hear.
“The few of you hurry up and follow her, don’t let her fall alone!” Chen Sai anxiously sent out all of these bodyguards in front of him, but he knew that the fighting strength of these people was not at all comparable to the elites in the mercenary corps, and if Rebel intentionally shook them off, they would not be able to keep up at all.
“Xiji, Rebel intentionally left clues, Qingli has already chased out, there is only Mongoma over there, still don’t know if they can stop it, you hurry and rush over, that Rebel guy has gone crazy now, if he really wants to fight head on, Qingli is definitely not a match for him!” Chen Sai hurriedly made a call to Xiji.
Xiji’s side opened the speakerphone, hung up the phone and asked, “That’s the situation, what instructions?”
Yue Zhi listened clearly from the side, his slender fingers tapped twice on the gift box Qingli gave him, “You go, don’t let her get hurt, as for Rebel, no need to come back alive.”
Xiji turned around and went out.
Liang Jin stood beside Yue Zhi for a long time, and suddenly asked, “Before, I didn’t let Xiji stop Rebel from going to the town, but now why are you letting Xiji go to protect her?”
Yue Zhi did not look at him, looking at the flourishing garden in front of him, “What do you mean?”
“Rui Bo is good at women, recently because of the palm injury and impaired function thing has been anxious and cranky, it was predictable that he would commit this matter, and Qing Li because of the past is extremely sensitive to the matter of sexual . This matter of crime is extremely sensitive, it’s inevitable that they will fight again and both of them will lose, isn’t this within your calculation?”
“Why would you think so?” Yue Zhi looked at Liang Jin with amusement, “I just wanted Rebel to go to town and commit some crime so that I could use it as an excuse to get rid of him, as for Qing Li, I did want her to take some blows and stop being so naïve, she should only think about serving me rather than minding those idle matters of people who don’t matter, but there was no intention of letting her be hurt by Rebel again.”
“It’s a little girl after all.” Yue Zhi’s voice lowered a bit, he subconsciously rubbed on the gift box that Qing Li had given him again, he looked like he was going to say something else, and then he didn’t say it in the end.
The air was silent like this, for a long time, Yue Zhi asked Liang Jin again, “During Qing Li’s examination, you were the one who exposed her position to Rui Bo twice, right, and why did you do that?”
Liang Jin was a little hesitant, but in the end he chose to be honest, “I feel that mister is a little different towards Qing Li, unnecessary feelings will only become a weakness and a weak point, I don’t want to let mister have such a hidden danger by his side.”
“You’re overthinking it, it’s just a knife, I won’t let her cut her own hand in turn.” Yue Zhi laughed softly, “There won’t be any woman who will become my weakness, even if it’s Yu Yu, you know.”
Liang Jin let out a “hmm”, “I won’t mind my own business in the future.”
On the other side, Qing Li quickly chased her to the rainforest on the east side of the town, but before she could meet Menggema, she saw Rebel who had once again intentionally exposed his whereabouts, and without any hesitation, she chased after him all the way to the depths of the rainforest.
The result is that the bodyguard rushed all the way to the front of Mongoma, both sides did not see Qingli, can only shout “Oh no”, and then tell the situation to the West pole.
West pole was able to quickly know the direction of Qing Li, because the soldier plate she brought with her engraved with her name, blood type and birthday had a locator chip in it.
But it would take him at least forty minutes to get there from the manor, and he only hoped that Qingli would not be injured before then.
Even though the anger in her heart was already capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, Qingli was still calm enough, and even the fact that she shook off the person following her was not due to impulsiveness getting the better of her, but rather wanting to personally avenge Martha’s death.
She didn’t chase too closely, always maintaining a distance of eight or nine hundred meters with Rebel, able to detect each other’s traces but invisible to each other.
Seeing that the time was almost right, she simply stopped chasing, and after setting up a few simple mechanisms, she lurked in place.
Sure enough, not a moment later, Rebel realized that there was no one in the rear to catch up with, and started to turn around and come back, just as Qing Li judged, at this time he had long lost his usual reason and calmness, and didn’t have the correct judgment of the current situation.
Aonashi’s mechanism was set up in a simple but hidden manner, and Reb just stepped on a dry-looking branch, and two thick and tough branches jerked towards his facade with swiftness.
He flipped backward to avoid it, and then he was viciously whipped on his back by another branch from behind, although he was quick to lunge forward to unload a lot of force, but his back was still like being whipped, and he was instantly in fiery pain.
Before he had time to get up, a gunshot rang out in the air, and Rebel rolled on the ground, barely hiding himself behind a large tree.
“Haha!” Reb let out a hysterical maniacal laugh, “You know that little bitch Martha’s . Bitch’s last words? Ms. Pear will come to my rescue, she’ll take me away …… Hahaha!” He pinched his throat and demonically spoke like Martha, laughing again before he could finish.
“But it’s all Yue Zhi’s dog, she still thinks you’re nobler and more capable than her! It’s ridiculous!” Reb shouted, trying to provoke Aonashi into losing her mind and impulsively revealing herself.
“Worthy of a fifteen year old girl, is tender ah, gently pinch a wound ……” he continued.
But no matter what he said, Qing Li’s side never made any sound, as if there was no one around him at all.
Rebel took a few deep breaths, waited for another ten minutes, and finally couldn’t help but slightly probe his head, attempting to observe the rear, but just in the moment he stretched out his head, a bullet directly knocked out his outer ear.
He screamed miserably, smashed his back heavily on the tree trunk a few times, stomped his legs vigorously to ease the pain, and huffed straight as he spoke, “Your marksmanship is still not enough, if it were West Pole, that shot just now should have been able to directly penetrate my brain or eyes, your bow is a good use, but it doesn’t have enough lethality compared to a gun.”
“My hand is ruined, I can’t do this job in the future, Yue Zhi didn’t want me in the first place, my contract expired and I don’t intend to renew it, I can’t do anything else when I go back to my country, the rest of my life has been ruined by you, do you think it’s over like this, even if I die here today, you’re going to have to take one of my lives with you!”
Rebel shouted and exploded with unimaginable speed with a mindset of going out of his way, he dodged away from the stump and moved quickly towards another tree, Qingli’s gun chased after him but missed, instead exposing his position.
Rebel fired a point-blank shot, and the large tree where Aonashi was hiding was hit with bark flying around.
She did not change her face, took out her most skillful “ghost” crossbow, aimed at the tree not far from where Rebel was hiding, a clump of inconspicuous small bushes, the crossbow arrow broke through the air, stuck in the soft layer of humus.
A sound like a bowstring snapping jerked the air, a loud gunshot rang out, and Reb let out an unearthly scream.
Aonashi lightly leapt down from the tree and came to Reb, stepping on his right hand that was struggling to raise for a shot.
Reb had been hit by a shotgun. Shotgun, even though he had counter-intuitive reflexes and dodged slightly, the left half of his body was still shot with four or five bloody holes, although only one bullet hit the left side of his abdomen, the others were in his left arm and left leg, not killing him in one blow, but just leaving it like that, he would have died from blood loss.
“I know I can’t beat you, how can I clash with you head on, I know you’ll come over, this tree is the thickest tree in this circle of more than ten meters, you’ll definitely find a way to find it as a cover, and you’re sure that I can’t do anything in this short ten minutes, so look …… ”
Aonashi kicked away Reb’s gun and crouched down in front of him, turning back to point directly in front of him, “I hid a shotgun there . Gun, aimed right here, and you sure didn’t notice.”
Rebel opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, “It’s my fault for underestimating you, it’s my fault for never looking down on women, women, they’re supposed to be men’s playthings.”
“Do not blame you, you this idea is very good, so that you can die in my hands.” Qing Li looked at him, drew a saber from his back, pressed it against his crotch. The vital place underneath, her voice was cold and vicious, “I told you, I will cut this thing off and let you eat it yourself!”
Rebel’s expression was always a bit flustered, he was no longer afraid of death, but only asked for a pain in the ass.
“You know what’s funny?” He tried to divert Qing Li’s attention, “In the middle of the night when I sneaked in and strangled Martha, her gambler old man was right outside the door, shaking like a chaff, not daring to let out a single fart, I threw him two piles of money, he actually closed the door for me, haha, didn’t care that Martha was still crying and begging him to save her.”
Rebel’s breath was weak, as long as he dragged it out a bit more, he would be dead, “You want revenge, aren’t you getting the order wrong.”
Qing Li looked at him with downcast eyes, and gave his hand a push.
Rui Bo’s body seemed to spread up like a bow, he couldn’t even send out a scream, his pale face suddenly became even more deathly gray.
“Doesn’t matter, anyway, trash like you will meet in hell sooner or later.”
