Chapter 115 Is it a case of cooking the rice before it's even cooked?
Who knows how many of Lu Tingyun's men are hiding in this forest? For just the two of them to go in would be to seriously underestimate Lu Tingyun.
"What, after being a cat owner for a few years, you've become timid?" Yan Ye gave A-Cheng a cold look.
"I..." Acheng felt extremely wronged. It wasn't that he had become timid; he was worried that his abilities were limited and he might not be able to protect him properly, and that something might happen to him, okay?
"Have you really become a coward? Then you and the brothers stay here, and I'll go in alone."
After Yan Ye finished speaking, he started walking towards the forest.
"Young master, young master, wait for me..." Ah Cheng went back to get a few more pistols and hurriedly chased after him.
It was the height of summer, and there was no television to watch, so most people would go outside in the evenings to cool off and chat.
Three women sat on a smooth, large rock, each holding a palm-leaf fan, idly waving it to swat away mosquitoes from time to time.
As the three chatted, the slightly plump woman suddenly asked, "Hey, do you know who those new neighbors are?"
The other two glanced at it and then shook their heads.
"I don't know, but judging from their clothes and manner of speaking, they seem to be young masters and ladies from wealthy families."
"They must be rich, otherwise they wouldn't have hired Sister Fang to cook for them. I heard that Sister Fang earns more for cooking for them in a day than a man can earn in half a month fishing at sea."
"Wow, they pay their nannies so much, they must be so rich." The slightly plump woman looked on with envy. After a pause, she added mysteriously, "But I heard from my husband that when he went out to sea to fish today, he encountered a few speedboats. Someone showed him a picture of one of our male neighbors and asked him if he had seen him before."
The other two were somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Is there such a thing?"
Did your husband mention that this person lives on our island?
The slightly plump woman shook her head: "No, my husband was worried about getting into trouble, so he didn't tell anyone about it. He just said he hadn't seen it."
"That's true. We don't know who they are, so it's best not to get involved."
"Yes, and once you come to our island, you are our brother or sister, and we cannot betray you."
……
The three continued chatting while fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, completely unaware that a figure was quietly standing in the woods not far behind them, listening to everything they said.
Zou Qian overheard the three women's conversation and turned to go back to report to Lu Tingyun when he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the seaside.
I ran over and peered through the gaps in the branches. Under the moonlight, on the calm sea, there was an eye-catching cruise ship that had been moored at some point, and two figures were walking quickly toward me.
Zou Qian's heart tightened, and he immediately turned and ran towards the log cabin villa.
Yan Ye and A Cheng heard people talking and tiptoed toward the sound.
The three women, sitting on the rock, were completely unaware of what was happening and continued their previous conversation.
"What do you think is the relationship between that doll-like pretty girl and those two handsome young men?" the slightly plump woman asked, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.
"According to Sister Fang, that pretty girl is the fiancée of one of the handsome young men, and the other handsome young man is their assistant, responsible for protecting the girl."
"It seems they must want to be together, but their families object, so they came here to hide. It's really pitiful. If anyone comes asking about their whereabouts, we must not betray them. Let them get married and have children here, and go back home once the deed is done. I guess their families won't object then."
……
Upon hearing what these people said, Yan Ye's forehead veins bulged.
fiancée?
Marriage and having children?
It’s a done deal?
That was his woman, and he would never allow her to marry or have children with anyone.
Trying to make something out of nothing?
Only he and she can use this phrase.
Yan Ye clenched his fist, wanting to rush out and give those gossipy women a good scolding, but A-Cheng quickly pulled him back and whispered, "Young Master, please calm down. We still need them to find Miss Yue's residence."
Yan Ye managed to suppress his anger.
"Sigh!" The slightly plump woman sighed deeply. "They are quite pitiful. However, I really envy Sister Fang for earning such a high wage every day as their nanny. If only I could have a job like Sister Fang's that is both lucrative and easy."
"Yes, I also envy Sister Fang."
"Aunt Fang is so lucky. I wish I could be as lucky as her."
The three were admiring each other when suddenly a stack of money appeared in front of them.
After staring at the stack of money for a while, the three of them slowly moved their gaze upwards along the hand that held the money.
When he met their gazes, Acheng smiled at them in a friendly manner: "You ladies are very lucky. Now there is an opportunity that is both easy and lucrative."
The three of them looked at A-Cheng with wary expressions; they had never seen this face before.
After the three women looked at each other for a moment, the slightly plump woman hesitated and asked, "Young man, who are you?"
"I'm here to find that girl you all described as being as pretty as a porcelain doll."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately understood what A-Cheng meant by an opportunity to make money easily and in large amounts.
His expression changed instantly.
"We won't tell you where they live. You'd better leave now, or I'll call for help."
"That's right, we will not betray that poor couple. No amount of money would make us betray them."
"We will not go against our conscience to help you break up this loving couple."
“That’s my young mistress,” A-Cheng said with a sad expression.
"Your young mistress?"
The three of them were stunned when they heard what A-Cheng said.
Is that pretty girl already taken?
Acheng nodded, looking extremely sad: "My young mistress is innocent and kind, but she was deceived by a scumbag and kidnapped by him on a dark and stormy night. My young master can't eat or sleep because of her, and his eyes are swollen from crying..."
"This……"
The three women looked at each other in disbelief; this incident had deeply shocked them.
Ah Cheng began to sob: "Three kind aunties, please tell me where my young mistress is. If you tell me where my young mistress is, my young master will reward you handsomely."
"Young man, don't be sad. As long as what you said is true, we will help you even without any reward."
"Yes, young man, can you prove that what you're saying is true?"
"Yes, I'll prove it to you right now."
As he spoke, Acheng took out the phone Yan Ye had given him and opened the photo album to show the women.
The album contains heartwarming and loving photos that Xue Tao secretly took of Yue Yirou and Ye Baobao together.
Ah Cheng showed them the photos one by one: "Aunties, these are photos of my young master and young mistress. Look how loving they are! If it weren't for that scumbag Lu Tingyun, my young master and young mistress might already have a child."
