Chapter 840: The Greatest Hidden Danger (3）
“Ya, you’ve over-exerted yourself. Come and sit down for a while.” Wang Yazhi pulled Ling Tianya over to sit by her.
Big One retreated to the side of the room and sat with the other Ruan family guards who were locked in here.
Zhang Ke walked over and sat down beside Big One. “To think that I would actually be locked up here.”
Big One glanced at the lady beside him. “Are you scared?”
Actually, Ms. Wang and Zhang Ke were the most innocent ones here. They weren’t part of the Ruan family but were locked in here as well.
Zhang Ke shook her head. “I’m not scared. As long as I’m with Ms. Ling, I’m not afraid of anything.” Zhang Ke started smiling and a cute dimple appeared on her cheeks. “Du Gang said that he is willing to die for Mr. Ruan. Well, I am willing to die for Ms. Ling.”
Big One’s eyes wavered. He looked at Zhang Ke who could say that she would die for Ling Tianya without batting an eyelid. “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“I’m afraid.” Zhang Ke smiled. “Everyone is scared of death.”
Big One looked at Zhang Ke in a daze. There was a peculiar feeling creeping up his heart. It was as if someone had played a moving tune in his heart and the sound wouldn’t fade away.
“I’m here. I won’t let you die.”
Zhang Ke blinked, looked towards Big One, and blushed. She promptly changed the subject as she pointed to herself. “I am Zhang Ke.”
“I know. You’ve told me before.” Big One was confused. Why was Zhang Ke telling him her name again?
Zhang Ke nodded. “Yes, I’m Zhang Ke, but what about you? You can’t possibly really be called Big One? That isn’t a normal name either!”
Big One laughed. So this was what Zhang Ke meant.
“I have my own name. Big One is just my code name.” Big One paused for a moment, then continued, “People like us who do dangerous jobs have to go on missions frequently. It would be very troublesome if we used our real names, so we all go by code names. Other than the boss, no one knows our true identity. It is more convenient this way.”
“So that’s why.” Zhang Ke frowned. “That means you can’t tell me your real name.”
“That’s right.”
Zhang Ke was a little disappointed. She lowered her head and played with her fingers.
Big One looked at Zhang Ke with an unprecedented amount of gentleness in his eyes. “When there is a good opportunity in the future, I will tell you, but now isn’t the time.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ke immediately raised her head and smiled. “Alright!”
Ling Tianya saw the sweet exchange between Zhang Ke and Big One from far away, and her lips curled into a smile.
If they could get out of this safely, she would definitely try to matchmake Big One and Zhang Ke!
At the same time, Ruan Fusheng was sitting on the bed in one of the second-floor rooms. He was in pain. Mark had jerked his arm so hard that his shoulder was dislocated, and his face was injured too. He sat there and wouldn’t stop moaning in pain.
Ming Li’s heart ached as she helped him take care of the wounds on his face. She accidentally used too much force and pressed against the wound.
Ruan Fusheng was already full of anger, so when he felt the pain, he vented all of his fury onto Ming Li. He raised his good arm and waved it through the air, slapping Ming Li soundly on the cheeks.
Ming Li lost her balance and fell backward.
The second Mrs. Yuan was standing behind Ming Li and she saw that Ming Li was about to fall. She did not try to catch Ming Li, but she even moved away as if afraid that Ming Li would crash into her. In the end, Ming Li landed on the floor.
Ming Li landed on her elbow, and it was so painful that her arm couldn’t move. The disinfectant in her hands spilled all over her.
The second Mrs. Yuan didn’t like the smell of disinfectant, so she frowned and stood even further away. “Hey, this stinks so badly. Hurry and change into a clean set of clothes and take a shower while you’re at it!”
