Chapter 704: Robbery Is Illegal, But This Isn’t
The two of them continued to chat for nearly half an hour before they ended the call.
When they walked out, the subordinates who came along with Lu Jingye also came over.
Lu Jingye said to them, “Bring those raw stones and return back first.”
His subordinates nodded and they returned to their rooms to pack their belongings.
Soon, the robots had also packed Zi Yi and Lu Jingye’s luggage.
Bu Di was surprised. “You’re leaving right now?”
“Yes.”
The earlier they got rid of that worm, the earlier they would be able to go home. That way they wouldn’t have to remain here and waste time.
Bu Di thought that Lu Jingye and Zi Yi would at least have had lunch before they left. “You aren’t going to have lunch?”
He had an expectant gaze.
Sang Bo walked over and slapped his head. “We’ll treat you to lunch at XX Hotel.”
Bu Di pouted and said, “It’s boring to eat at a hotel, it’s better to cook ourselves.”
Zi Yi asked cooly, “Will you be the one cooking? My Ah Jing won’t be going into the kitchen.”
Bu Di: “…”
The four of them ate lunch at the hotel. After bidding farewell to each other, Zi Yi and Lu Jingye took their leave.
They had to pass by another country to arrive at the Bermuda Triangle from Country Em. It was at least a ten hour or so journey.
Lu Jingye got his men to prepare an RV.
In the RV, Lu Jingye did his work, while Zi Yi browsed the internet.
Shadow was the driver, while Little Loli sat in the co-pilot seat as she watched dramas.
The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. However, when the RV was about to leave Country Em, a small accident occurred.
Their RV was blocked by a woman.
Zi Yi looked up and was a little surprised. She turned to Lu Jingye and said, “Ah Jing, it’s the woman who said that we were fat sheep. She’s blocking our way.”
Lu Jingye was wearing earpieces, as he was in an international conference. He did not even look up from the screen and said, “Get Little Loli to chase her away.”
Zi Yi ordered Little Loli to alight from the RV and take care of that woman.
Unexpectedly, Little Loli stood there for some time while she conversed with the woman.
Zi Yi found it strange and so, she alighted from the RV and went over.
“What’s the matter?”
Little Loli and the woman looked at her.
Little Loli pointed at the woman and said, “Sister, she said she wants to ride with us. If we refuse to bring her along, she will continue blocking our way without moving.”
The woman looked at Zi Yi and said, “The road ahead is a mountain area and I only wanted to ride with you and cross that mountain. That isn’t too much, is it?”
Zi Yi checked the woman from head to toe.
She was still dressed in the unique clothing of her race. She originally had a petite and exquisite appearance, and coupled with the large cloth bag she had across her shoulder, she looked like a student.
Zi Yi suddenly asked, “Are you from the Southern part of China?”
“No, I’m not.” The woman had been speaking in the international common language. “I am only fond of the clothes in that region, so I bought a few sets of clothing to wear.”
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. The feeling this woman gave her felt complicated. There were no signs of hostility, but it seemed like she was deliberately trying to approach them.
“My name is Anya.” Anya’s skin tone was slightly on the darker side, so it made her teeth look exceptionally white. The moment she smiled, her entire face seemed to be glowing, which made people unable to shift their gaze away from her.
Zi Yi thought about it and asked, “Which province in Country L are you headed to?”
Anya gave her a location.
It just so happened to be the province near the Bermuda Triangle in Country L.
Zi Yi smiled. She found this woman somewhat interesting and said, “We can give you a ride, but you can only take the seat behind the co-pilot. Also, you have to pay a hundred thousand for the RV fare.
Anya suddenly widened her eyes at Zi Yi’s words.
Her pupils were pitch-black and when she widened her eyes, they had the appearance of grapes, as there was a slight hint of purple within her black pupils.
They were giving off a slightly bewitching feeling.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes. “If you aren’t willing, get out of the way. Don’t block our journey.”
Anya said in disbelief, “I can’t believe you’re asking me for a hundred thousand. What’s the difference between this and robbery?”
“Of course, there’s a difference. Robbery is illegal, but this isn’t.”
“…”
Looking at Anya’s dumbfounded expression, Little Loli who was standing in between them could not hold back her laughter. “That’s right. My sister has clearly given you the price. If you are willing to pay, then take the deal, otherwise go away.”
Anya furrowed her eyebrows and with an expression of heartache, she searched inside the cloth bag for a long time before she finally found a card. “I don’t have that much cash on me. I only have a card.”
“It’s fine, we have a card machine.”
Zi Yi nodded at Little Loli.
Little Loli took the card in Anya’s hand and swiped it across her palm.
Anya’s mobile received a notification: [100,000 deducted from the card. Your remaining balance is 999.]
Anya held her chest and revealed an expression of heartache.
Zi Yi glanced at her, before she turned around and returned back to the car.
Their RV was pretty big. There were four seats behind the driver’s seat, followed by a large space at the back.
There was a door at both the side and back. After Zi Yi got into the RV, she closed the door.
The glass on the door was a single-sided glass and they could see the outside scenery from the inside.
Lu Jingye looked up and asked her, “Are there any problems with this person?”
“I can’t sense any hostility from her, but she is heading towards the province near the Bermuda Triangle in Country L. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Instead of letting this person follow them in secret, it was better for them to bring her along. When the time comes, Little Loli would be able to monitor her constantly, which would save them a lot of trouble.
The car soon drove into the mountains.
The climate here was different from their home country. The vegetation in the mountains was also rather different.
Along the way, there were all sorts of wild fruit trees.
When the car entered the middle area of the mountain, the originally clear weather suddenly turned overcast and thunderous.
Little Loli came over and asked Zi Yi, “Sister, it’s raining hard outside. Are we still going to travel?”
Zi Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, she glanced at Anya who was seated in the middle.
Anya had been sitting quietly for the whole journey and only ever looked outside the window ever since she got in the RV with them. It was similar to that of a person who had hitchhiked a lift.
Zi Yi asked Little Loli, “If you want to recharge, we will stop.”
This type of weather was the best time for Little Loli and her robots to recharge their batteries.
Little Loli immediately said excitedly, “Yes. A charge during this type of weather can last me for half a month!”
“Then we’ll stop here. Go somewhere further away. If you find any delicious-looking fruit, bring some for me.”
“Alright, Sister.”
When Little Loli opened the car door, Anya, who was seated in the middle, moved. She hastily asked, “Wouldn’t it be dangerous for you to go out in such a heavy downpour?”
Little Loli still had the sense to bring an umbrella out. “It’s fine, I’ll be going out to relieve myself.”
Unexpectedly, Anya said, “Me too. Let’s go together.”
Little Loli sent Zi Yi a message, asking her how she should proceed.
Zi Yi replied, “Bring her along. Keep a close watch.”
Little Loli took Anya down with her.
Looking at the two girls going out in the rain, Zi Yi opened the partition and said to Shadow, “Shadow, you can also go and get a recharge.”
Shadow responded and opened the door.
Only Zi Yi and Lu Jingye remained in the car. There was a toilet behind them and there was no need for them to alight from the car.
However, at this moment, accompanied by a thunderstorm, an earthquake suddenly approached their direction.
