Chapter 149 You Are Running Away
Hou Jie had originally made up his mind to stay out of the spotlight for a few days. After all, the relationship between him and Liu Ruyan was subtle and ambiguous. Both of them understood it, but neither of them had ever brought it up.
However, fate did not seem to give him much room to escape.
When Liu Ruyan said, "If you don't show up again, I will tell your wife about what happened between us,"
Hou Jie's heart was suddenly in turmoil.
He knew that if this matter was really exposed, not only would his image in the outside world be greatly damaged, but there might also be some bad consequences.
Faced with such a threat, Hou Jie had almost no choice but to compromise in order to maintain his current living conditions.
"Little girl, why is it gone? It's just kissing and touching, isn't it? What's the big deal?"
"You are a secret agent! You should have some professional qualities, okay?"
Hou Jie finally decided to muster up the courage to go to Liu Ruyan's residence. It was a luxurious villa on the edge of the city, and the security guards at the door knew Hou Jie. So when Hou Jie arrived, the guards at the door saw him from a distance and immediately let him in.
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile on her face. She stared at Hou Jie sharply, and said in a teasing and questioning voice, "I have looked for you several times before. Why didn't you show up?"
When Hou Jie heard this, his heart tightened, and he realized that he could no longer avoid this question. However, he reacted very quickly, and immediately showed a flattering expression, saying with a flattering face:
"Oh, it's because you are so beautiful that I dare not show up easily. Every time I see you, I am worried that I will be fascinated by you and lose control."
When Liu Ruyan heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a contemptuous smile appeared. Although she felt a little proud of Hou Jie's attention to her appearance, her tone was full of contempt and disgust:
"Bah, stop daydreaming! How could this girl possibly be interested in someone like you? That's just wishful thinking."
In the spacious and solemn hall, Liu Ruyan had been waiting for a long time. She sat elegantly on a gorgeous sofa, with a dignified posture and elegant temperament.
Her eyes were like a sharp sword, coldly scanning Hou Jie who walked in from outside.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a scornful smile, as if she was disdainful of Hou Jie's previous attempt to solve the problem with money.
She thought to herself, "Do you think that paying money can solve all problems? You are so naive."
Hou Jie seemed a little uneasy under Liu Ruyan's sharp gaze. He spoke carefully, trying to deal with the current awkward situation with the most appropriate attitude:
"Ms. Liu, I really know I was wrong. I promise not to hide from you anymore and will do everything according to your request."
However, Liu Ruyan was not convinced. She asked in a tough tone: "Hou Ying, give me an explanation. Why are you hiding from me?" Facing Liu Ruyan's questioning, Hou Jie hastily made up an excuse: "I... I was worried that you might be emotionally unstable and too excited because of my matter, so I wanted to give you some time to calm down and think."
Hearing this explanation, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel a little amused: "Hou Ying, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Just because you hide for a few days, I can calm down so easily?"
She changed the subject, her tone revealing deep disgust and anger, "Go ahead and make it up, and see if I can be fooled by you this time!"
Hou Jie lowered his head and replied, "Yes, you are right. It's my fault."
Liu Ruyan's face was cold and her eyes were like water. She stared at Hou Jie and squeezed out every word from between her teeth: "You did that to me, and now you want to just brush it off like that? What kind of explanation are you going to give me?"
Her voice was not loud, but full of power, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting through the air.
Hou Jie looked at Liu Ruyan, feeling flustered. He couldn't be blamed entirely! This was an accident! Women are really unreasonable. He knew that his behavior had hurt Liu Ruyan, and he also understood how impulsive and stupid his behavior was. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "I am willing to pay 50,000 yuan as compensation."
However, Liu Ruyan sneered and retorted: "Do you think money can solve all problems? This is the first time I heard of a man's innocence being ruined." Hou Jie's old face turned red, very embarrassed.
Her voice was full of teasing, "You took advantage of me, you must be responsible for me! Do you agree or not?"
Hou Jie, hearing this, became even more flustered. He knew that what Liu Ruyan said was true. No matter what the reason, girls were weaker after all, especially in terms of gender equality. He did do something he shouldn't have done to her. He quickly refused: "No, no, I'm not worthy, I'm already married."
However, Liu Ruyan ignored his refusal and pulled out a gun from her pocket and pointed it at Hou Jie's head.
I was thinking, "I'm sure this chick is fine. Why did she pull out a gun?"
Hou Jie was shocked by her action and was completely stunned. He looked at Liu Ruyan, not knowing what she was going to do.
Liu Ruyan looked at Hou Jie coldly and threatened, "Do you agree or not?"
Although her voice was not loud, it was full of determination and coldness. Hou Jie was overwhelmed by her momentum and was terrified. He knew that his refusal might bring more serious consequences, but he still gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No way! Miss Liu"
Hou Jie was very upset, but still refused. "No, you are a spy of the Nationalist government. The Nationalist government will be finished in two years. Even if I marry you, we will not have a good ending. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. I am willing to add another 5 yuan as compensation, please let me go."
Liu Ruyan became nervous after hearing what he said. This was about her life. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Explain it to me in detail."
Hou Jie presented to Liu Ruyan in detail the comparative performance of the Eighth Route Army and the National Government during the War of Resistance, covering the performance of high-level commanders to grassroots cadres, as well as the differences in rules and regulations between the two armies.
He pointed out that whether from the perspective of strategic planning, tactical execution or the soldiers' fighting will and quality, the National Government's army was at a disadvantage in most cases and the hope of victory was very slim.
Moreover, the currency is about to collapse, and by then, the survival of the Nationalist government is only a matter of time.
