Chapter 80: How much money did it take to hire Flying Piggy?

  The sports car screeched to a halt at the edge of the forest, which was a secluded small path. The road on both sides was lined with tall pine trees, and the forest was so vast that it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. Because this road was very remote, there were few passing vehicles, and sometimes not a single car could be seen for tens of minutes. It was such a place where the autumn wind added a sense of eeriness.

  Ba Yongjie looked at Li Yi and asked in confusion: "Why did you ask me to stop?"

  Li Yi's response left her completely speechless. "Let's go down first and talk later."

  It was late at night, and they had stopped the car in such a remote place. Li Yi asked her to go into the woods by the side of the road. A man and a woman having this kind of conversation - anyone with a normal brain would easily get the wrong idea. Apparently, Ba Yongjie got the wrong idea too. She thought Li Yi wanted to do that thing with her here, and she let out a cold snort, saying: "You wouldn't want to do that thing with me here, would you?"

  Li Yi laughed and cried at the same time, seemingly unsure of how to respond to her words, saying: "Even if I wanted to be with you, would you agree?"

  "Since you know I won't agree, why do you still ask me to get off?" Ba Yongjie knew she was thinking too much and smiled awkwardly. She also wanted to know why Li Yi suddenly asked her to get off the car.

  Li Yi pointed to the woods by the side of the road and said, "We've met an old friend, so we must get out of the car and take a look."

  "Old friend?" Ba Yongjie furrowed her brow, looking in the direction Li Yi was pointing. Inside the forest, it was pitch black, and not even a person's shadow could be seen.

  Seeing this, Ba Yongjie became even more puzzled and said: "It seems like there's no one."

  "You can't see anyone, it doesn't mean I don't see them. Let's go! Wait till later and you'll know I didn't lie to you." Li Yi gave her a reassuring look and then opened the car door.

  Ba Yongjie's body shrunk back and didn't get off the car, worriedly saying: "I'll just wait for you in the car!"

  "There's a good show coming up next, don't you want to go see it?" Li Yi stuck his head into the car and asked Ba Yongjie.

  "I don't even know the other party, why should I go to watch a good show?" Ba Yongjie was still worried that Li Yi would make trouble, after all, with Li Yi's current ability, she had no power to resist at all.

  Li Yi shook his head and said, "You also know him, he can be considered an old friend of ours."

  "Do I also know them?" Ba Yongjie couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"

  "I didn't just say that, you'll know when you go down?" Li Yi said gloomily. When she saw Ba Yongjie's vigilant eyes, she knew what was going on and said, "You really think I'm going to do something to you?"

  "Isn't it?" Ba Yongjie retorted.

  Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Beautiful girl, you're thinking too much! If I were really that anxious, would I still need to go to the woods? Wouldn't it be done already if I just did it in the car?"

  This sentence hits the nail on the head, Ba Yongjie thought about it and indeed, if Li Yi really wanted to take her down, why go into the woods? On a night like this, it's still a bit cold, although the space in the car is not big, but with the air conditioner on, it's more comfortable than outside, why bother going out for a wild battle after eating well?

  "What you said makes some sense, I also think car shaking is more comfortable than outdoor battles." Ba Yongjie chuckled and opened the car door.

  Li Yi was completely speechless, the other person could actually say this, shrugged and said: "If you like this car shock, come back later and I'll accompany you."

  Ba Yongjie knew she had misspoken and shook her head like a rattle drum, saying: "Don't, I was just talking nonsense. If you make any reckless moves, I'll kill you."

  Two people quickly walked into the forest, which was pitch black and quiet. Their feet stepped on the withered yellow leaves, making a rustling sound.

  Ba Yongjie was after all a girl, and she had an innate fear of unknown things. She tensed up and said: "Li Yi, where are you taking me? Let's just go back!"

  "I didn't expect that you, a big sister of the underworld, would also be afraid of the dark. You really are making me look at you in a new light!" Li Yi chuckled and said, "We'll arrive soon."

  At this time, a man's voice came from not far ahead, "Hanyue, what exactly do you mean? Today you must make it clear to me."

  "I've made it clear that I don't have the money now, and when I do, I'll buy you a house." A woman's voice came from within the woods, and the voice was very familiar.

  Ba Yongjie immediately realized who the other person was and, with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, lowered her voice to ask: "That killer? Does she also have a man?"

  It's a well-known fact that being an assassin is a high-risk profession. Men and women in this line of work rarely have a partner, as they live on the edge, with every mission posing an extraordinary danger. No one knows when their life will be cut short. In such circumstances, why bother finding someone to love? Neither party wants to see the other die a tragic death after failing a mission, and then be left behind in unbearable pain.

  It was just then that Ba Yongjie asked this question, and she even suspected whether she had misheard.

  Li Yi was also very curious about the reason, he had already sensed it with his divine consciousness, so he got off the car to take a closer look.

  "Don't ask me, we'll know soon enough." Li Yi leaned his body against a big tree and smiled, "Didn't I just say that the good show is about to begin?"

  "Is that so? I accompanied you here, and you let me see this?" Ba Yongjie said with her mouth, but still leaned on Li Yi's side, perking up her ears to listen to the conversation over there.

  The two people nearby seemed to have not noticed Li Yi and Ba Yongjie, still speaking loudly, only hearing the man say: "I don't care, you must give me money today."

  "I don't have a single penny on me, how can I give it to you?" Sun Han Yue asked.

  "This is your problem, do you still remember how to answer my father's words? You promised to buy me a house and then marry me, have you forgotten all of these?" The moonlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, and the man's appearance could be vaguely seen. He looked like he was in his twenties, wearing a sporty outfit, with an air of a young rascal about him.

  Sun Hanyue's face sank and she smiled bitterly, saying: "I did promise Uncle, but what have you been doing all these years? Don't you know in your heart?"

  "What did I do?" the man sneered. "I just like to gamble and drink, what else is there to like? Besides, I didn't betray you!"

  "You like to gamble and drink, that's fine, but why did you spend the money I gave you to buy a house?" Sun Han Yue questioned, "Do you know? Why did I work hard for this money, how much I paid?"

  "Who knows how much you've paid out, you're unemployed all day, heaven knows where this money of yours comes from." The young man said disdainfully.

  Sun Hanyue's face turned ugly, she clenched her fist and said: "Peng Dalong, you must speak with a conscience, what kind of woman do you think I am?"

  "Hmph! What kind of woman are you, don't you know in your heart? Do I need to tell you?" Peng Dalong sneered, "You know what I hate most about you? You're clearly a prostitute, but you pretend to be dignified. Not only do you pretend, but you also dare to put on airs in front of me. Don't even think about touching you."

  This remark was a bit too much, Sun Han Yue's pretty face turned blue and purple, and she suddenly raised her hand and gave Peng Da Long a loud slap in the face.

  "Bang!!!"

  A crisp slap echoed through the forest, Peng Dalong seemed to be enraged, covering his cheek and roaring: "How dare you hit me?"

  "What did I do to you? Who allowed you to say such things?" Sun Han Yue said furiously, she had never been as angry as she was now in all these years.

  Peng Dalong clenched his fist, but didn't strike out. "Sun Han Yue, do you still remember the promise you made to my father? If it wasn't for my father saving you back then, you would have died long ago. Now that my father is old, he only has one wish - to hold a grandchild soon. Have you really forgotten the kindness of being saved?"

  "I promised Uncle Peng that I would do it, please don't force me. Once I've saved up enough money, I'll personally go buy a house and then marry you, to have children for the Peng family. Can't this be enough?! Sun Han Yue's eyes were brimming with tears, nothing is more sorrowful than a dead heart. As for marrying such a man in the future, she really didn't know if she could be happy."

  "That's all I need to hear." Peng Da Long was satisfied, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  Sun Hanyue looked at him with disgust, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "Can I leave now?"

  "You can go wherever you want, but before you leave, you must promise me one thing." Peng Da Long took a few steps forward and arrived in front of her, about to hold her in his arms.

  Sun Hanyue was a killer after all, with quick reflexes. He dodged to the side and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?"

  "You've already agreed to marry me, sooner or later you'll be mine. Shouldn't you fulfill your duties as a wife now?" Peng Dalong asked.

  "I've said it before, after we get married, I'll give you everything," Sun Han Yue said.

  Peng Dalong laughed and coldly said: "Do you think I'm an idiot? Who knows when you can afford to buy a house, how much longer do I need to wait?"

  "It won't be too long, at most three years." Sun Hanyue replied.

  Peng Dalong shook his head and said, "No way, you have to give it to me today, otherwise don't even think about leaving this place."

  "You, don't force me!" Sun Han Yue saw Peng Da Long walking step by step towards him, his wrist moved and a dagger suddenly appeared, then was put away.

  "How did I force you? Since you said you didn't do that kind of thing, then tell me, why is there so much money? Don't tell me you're being kept by another man." Peng Dalong said shamelessly, "However, even if you are being kept, I won't blame you. As long as you continue to give me money and satisfy my physical needs, it has nothing to do with me how many men you're with."

  Sun Hanyue was furious and laughed, she really wanted to give him a few more slaps, indignantly saying: "Are you still a man?"

  "Am I a man or not? You'll find out soon enough." Peng Dalong chuckled and was about to pounce on Sun Han Yue, but this time she didn't dodge.

  Just as it was about to pounce on Sun Han Yue's body, a black shadow flashed by, and Sun Han Yue was pulled open.

  Poor Peng Dali didn't expect this to happen at all. He was caught off guard and his whole body fell to the ground, getting a mouthful of mud.

  "Sun Hanyue, how dare you dodge?" Peng Dalong was furious and quickly got up. He was about to scold a few more sentences when he saw someone standing beside Sun Hanyue.

  When he saw the man's appearance clearly, Peng Dalong was stunned and asked, "Who is he?"

  At this moment, Sun Han Yue was equally shocked, because the person who had just pulled him away was actually the one he least wanted to see.

  "He..." Sun Hanyue had just opened his mouth when Li Yi's words interrupted him.

  Li Yi put his hand on Sun Han Yue's shoulder and hugged her in his arms, smiling: "Brother, can't you see the relationship between us?"

  Peng Dalong burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he was doubled over, and after a long time, he said: "Young man, don't say you're supporting her, but at your age, aren't you still a student?"

  "What's wrong with students?" Li Yi said reasonably. "Can't students be rich? As long as I have money, I can support as many girls as I want!"

  Peng Dalong's face was full of disbelief, and he let out a cold snort. He asked Sun Han Yue, "How much did you pay to hire him?"
