She said, “We can’t run together or they will catch us all! I’ll go that way . Take care, my cousin!”

Meng Liang did not stop running when he yelled outrageously, “You’re using me as bait?”
Jiang Pengji chuckled . “Meng Liang, my foolish cousin, just before your life ends, your brain finally works!”
What? Meng Liang gasped . They had run into a stinky dark alley . The moment he began to be alarmed, Jiang Pengji raised her hand and knocked on the back of his neck .
The pain was instantly accompanied by darkness in Meng Liang’s mind, where consciousness faded soon after it sensed acute pain on his throat . His body cramped .
The abrupt change frightened Nongqin, although it was completely natural to Jiang Pengji .
“Langjun, are we leaving him here?” The girl saw Jiang Pengji leave the fainted boy on the ground like a piece of rubbish, and she hesitated . She was not caring for him . What if others found out what they had done to Meng Liang?
“That’s right . Come on, let’s run! Grab the silver tight . Ten percent of it will be your wedding gift!”

Nongqing looked at her blankly .
Jiang Pengji shrugged . Nongqin was running too slowly, so she grabbed her arms and lifted her . Nongqin let out a brief shriek . With an arm around her shoulders and the other under her legs, Jiang Pengji was not slowed down a bit by the additional forty kilograms .
She stomped at a wall, bounced to the top of another, and effortlessly hopped into the adjoining alley .
“All right . ” She released Nongqin when they had gotten rid of the people from the gambling house . A little exercise had sent the shadow in her mind away and she was smiling genuinely .
She had considered letting Meng Liang live a few days more, but she changed her mind .
It took a while for Nongqin to recover from shock . When she did, she turned to the langjun’s silhouette in the darkness . Even after a run, not a bead of sweat could be seen on Jiang Pengji’s forehead . She wasn’t panting, either .
Nongqin dropped her head with shame . She thought she was strong, but it turned out she could not even help the langjun, who had never done heavy housework before .

“Would Lady blame us for abandoning the guest? If he tells the gamers and guards to find us at the Liu’s…” Nongqin paused, her face pale .
Jiang Pengji curved her lips . “Well, I have the guest with me now! As for Meng Liang, he won’t be able to speak or write for some time . ”
She was skilled in dealing with problematic suspects . She was quite good at numbing their arms and stiffing their vocal cords temporarily . Meng Liang’s little tricks were futile in front of her .
Hearing her response, Nongqin looked around for the guest . There were only two of them, so where was the third person? The girl shivered at the thought . The weather was even colder than it had been .
“We’ll buy some ladies’ clothes for you, and you’ll become my cousin,” explained Jiang Pengji .
Nongqin finally understood, yet she was uncertain of the feasibility . “Others have seen the guest before… They could certainly tell the difference . ” Still, she would not refuse to comply with her orders .
Before they could find a solution, Jiang Pengji’s slightly better mood was once again ruined by the electronic notification in her mind .
System: “Automatic scanning starts . Searching for new missions… Ding! Search completed . Generating mission…
Meng Liang, the son of Meng Zhan in Cang, is now facing fatal threats . Rescue him within two hours . Reward for completion: Small Waist—Irresistible Shape . Punishment for failure: Level-Five Electric Shock!”
Jiang Pengji’s clenched her teeth and gave a cold laugh . “System, do you want a punch?”
The computer panicked . “It wasn’t me! The new mission plug-in generates missions automatically after its own calculation . Still, the result must be in your favor . I’ve looked at the database and it shows that you will pay a huge cost for killing Meng Liang! Just do what the mission requires!”
“Shut up! I don’t believe a word!” Jiang Pengji was indignant . Together with their earlier quarrel, she was further annoyed by the System .
The System was also irked . “Host, we are partners . You should respect me and cooperate with me . We computers always do better calculations, and we know the best thing to do now is to save Meng Liang . Believe it or not!”
“I said shut up!”
“If you ignore the mission, it will be deemed a failure two hours later . The electric shock will kill you!”
“So what?” This blocked all subsequent words from the computer .
Meanwhile, Meng Liang was caught and tied up with ropes .
“Where’re the other two?” The boss’s face turned purple . He did not want the heavily indebted boy . He just wanted his money back!
The muscular men dared not to answer . The other two kids seemed to have vanished in the blink of the eye!
Until now, they had not figured out how they had gotten away . After all, the alley was blocked and there was no way to run .
“You useless people! What’s the point of keeping you? Even a dog can bite for me! Where are you waiting for? Go and find them!”
