A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 985 Many crises



Chapter 985 Many crises

When Gui'er heard Ouyang Bao say these words with such seriousness and righteous indignation, as if he were a gentleman, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

“Detective Ouyang, I understand your meaning perfectly well. You're just worried that my brothers might not be dead and would come back to cause you trouble, right? If that's the case, then why force me? If you want money, we'll give it to you. Besides, you don't like someone like me who's penniless and useless, so why make such a fuss?” Gui'er's most important task now is to stall him until Wu Mingqiang returns to rescue her. Since Ouyang Bao likes someone like Ru Meng, he must like women with good figures who know how to flatter men. He doesn't even look at proper, upright girls like her.

“Gui’er, I realize I really underestimated you. I want not only your money, but also you. If I become your husband, I might even get your brother-in-law’s help in the future. Although the Hong Kong British government does not allow civil servants to take concubines, there are plenty of people who take concubines outside. Miss Sha, even if I don’t force you today, the situation will only get more and more difficult. In the future, you might even have to find a place to rely on yourself. So why not come with me? I’m just getting there first. I believe your father and brothers will think I’m being righteous today when they find out.”

"If my brother finds out, you'll definitely die a horrible death," Gui'er thought coldly to herself.

"Alright, I've thought it through too. Circumstances are beyond my control. Since Detective Ouyang is so considerate of me, I can't refuse his kindness. I'll marry him. But I'm from a wealthy family, so you'll definitely need to make some preparations. I'll be getting married at my sister's house. You know my sister; she often plays mahjong with your wife." Gui'er didn't care about anything else anymore. As long as she could buy time, any excuse would do.

"Sure, but your brave men have really broadened my horizons. Tell me, if I didn't have something going on with you, they definitely wouldn't have let me marry you so easily. We would have had to make it a fait accompli. I don't like your thin and small appearance, which makes you look underdeveloped, but your face is absolutely beautiful and so delicate that it makes me want to conquer you."

As Ouyang Bao spoke, he slowly took off his coat and moved closer to Gui'er.

“Detective Ouyang, show some respect. This matter should be based on mutual consent. Besides, I’ve already consented. If you continue like this, it’s against the rules.” Gui’er was extremely flustered. She hadn’t expected Ouyang Bao to be such a rogue, so unyielding.

"Rules? What rules? I am the rule, you little wench. You think you're something special just because I treated you well before? Let me tell you, none of my women dare to act like this, doing all these underhanded things behind my back. If I don't tame you today, you won't know your place."

Yang Bao was actually quite annoyed by Gui'er's repeated excuses to refuse him. Among his mistresses were women from all walks of life; some were with him willingly, while others were forced. But they were all obedient to him, not daring to utter a single word of dissent, until this little girl defied him, making him feel very embarrassed.

He concluded that the reason for this was the support of her several skilled servants. With war raging across the mainland, a large number of people from other parts of China were flooding into Hong Kong, some of whom were indeed quite powerful and skilled. However, he had already had these people investigated. They didn't usually associate with anyone else, except for running a pawnshop here. They probably didn't have any powerful backers. The only person they were somewhat related to was Sally, but that family was nothing to worry about. They were even eager to curry favor with his first wife.

As Ouyang Bao walked forward, Gui'er slowly backed away. She watched as Ouyang Bao took off his coat, revealing his enormous belly, and felt a wave of nausea wash over her.

"Detective Ouyang, do you not even care about Detective Long's face?" Gui'er didn't care about anything else now. She would do anything to stop Ouyang Bao.

"Long Xing? You know him?" Ouyang Bao stopped and asked suspiciously.

"Of course, Brother Long said that if you take such good care of him, he will definitely repay you after he becomes the police chief." Gui'er had already heard about Ouyang Bao's assassination attempt on Long Xing from Wu Mingqiang, and deliberately hinted to him that even if Ouyang Bao confronted Long Xing later, at least her current predicament should be resolved first.

"Heh, you bitch, you've got some skills, managing to find Long Xing. I'll show you who's better, him or me."

"Slap." Ouyang Bao suddenly became fierce and slapped him across the face.

Caught off guard, Gui'er stumbled and fell backward. She quickly grabbed the stool next to her, but ended up falling to the ground along with the stool.

With one hand, Ouyang Bao unbuckled his belt and pulled it out, while with the other hand, he unbuttoned his shirt. He walked forward with a sinister grin, grabbed Gui'er by the collar, and lifted her up like a chick.

"Brother Leopard, what happened?" One of the guards downstairs ran up after hearing the noise.

"Help!!!" Gui'er didn't care who the other person was anymore; she was completely panicked at this point.

"Get lost, are you blind?" Ouyang Bao shouted.

"Yes, yes." The underling was startled and quickly shrank back, retreating to the first floor.

“Ah Gen, you’re making a big fuss over nothing. I told you you weren’t suited to come with Brother Leopard, but you wouldn’t believe me. Let me tell you, many of Brother Leopard’s wives came about this way. No matter if she’s a rich girl or a daughter from a scholarly family, once the deed is done, and Brother Leopard has power and influence, their families, for their own benefit, will swallow their anger. We’ll just stay here and wait until it’s all over. Then the woman will obediently go with Brother Leopard.” Another subordinate holding Ah Xiang on the first floor said with a smile.

"This is too much! We're police officers, after all." A'gen was originally worried, afraid that if Longxing succeeded, wouldn't he have been a villain for nothing? So this time, he shamelessly followed Ouyang Bao, and Ouyang Bao, seeing that the clues were provided by him, finally agreed.

"Stop pretending to be a gentleman with me. Every time Brother Leopard gives us a share of the profits, it's squeezed out of these people. Oh, right, you didn't participate in many operations, so you didn't get much. But it's okay. You did a great job this time, so Brother Leopard will give you a good share this time. Don't worry."
