Free Web NovelChapter 797: Fighting for A Meal
Bai Meiyue had no intention of doing something so useless. Since these people had no intention of swearing their loyalty to her, why would she waste her time in doing so? She closed her eyes and continued her meditation without caring about what was going on outside. Her brothers would take care of it if anything happened. However, before she could even engross herself in meditation, she heard someone screaming and making a fuss outside her study. She furrowed her brows and opened her eyes just in time to hear someone knock on her door.
"Come in," said Bai Meiyue, and a woman with dishevelled hair rushed inside her study with a sturdy man following her. She looked at Xiao Wu, who was dragging a woman by her arm and frowned even harder. "What is going on?"
Before the man could say anything, the woman rushed forward and knelt in front of Bai Meiyue, and she began to cry, "Bai Meiyue, Bai Meiyue, save me; I am being bullied. Please save me—this man is bullying me." fгeewebnovёl.com
"What nonsense are you saying?" Xiao Wu’s face flushed red, and a nerve started to throb in his neck. He walked forward and pointed to the kneeling woman in front of Bai Meiyue and said to Bai Meiyue, "Boss, I just saw this woman coming out of the house of a bunch of ability users. I just wanted to ask her what she was doing there because she was walking all funny."
The woman’s face turned red when she heard his words. She stiffened her neck and then turned to glare at Xiao Wu before saying in a high-pitched voice, "Xie Jinye and the other women following her can come in and out of men as they want to. So, why are you questioning me and not them?"
The woman had finally raised her head, and with the sharp, glaring lights in the room, Bai Meiyue was easily able to see her face. When she saw who it was, she could not help but scrunch her face up. Bai Meiyue slowly got up from the cushion on which she was sitting and came closer to the woman. She took one more look at the woman and exclaimed in surprise, "Meng Anzhi? What are you doing here? Were you not supposed to leave?"
Meng Anzhi was still in her safe base? Bai Meiyue clearly remembered that she told the two Meng siblings that she wanted to kick this woman out of the safe base. The two of them had agreed, so what was Meng Anzhi still doing in this safe base? Bai Meiyue did not doubt the two siblings, given that they were loyal to her, but Meng Anzhi’s appearance did leave a sour taste in her mouth.
"I...I..." Meng Anzhi’s expression turned stiff. She was indeed supposed to leave. Meng Suisui had told her that she needed to leave the safe base as soon as possible. After that, she did not care about Meng Anzhi leaving her to fend for herself. In the end, she could only straighten her waist up and say, "Bai Meiyue, there are so many mutated bugs outside; how can I even think about leaving the safe base? Please let me stay for a few more days, and then I will take my leave, I promise."
She then changed the topic. "Anyway, I did not want to disturb you either, but this man is bullying me. He has been targeting me for ages now; I see him looking at me every now and then."
Meng Anzhi made it clear that the focus was not on her but on Xiao Wu, who was keeping an eye on her, especially.
Upon hearing this, Bai Meiyue turned to look at Xiao Wu and arched a brow. Seeing this, Xiao Wu’s face turned bright red.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Wu scolded angrily. "Since when did I start paying attention to you? Isn’t it because you have been acting more and more suspiciously? Who asked you to go in and out of several men’s houses and then leave? Even if I don’t want to pay attention to you, I will naturally have to. Who asked you to be so suspicious?"
"When did I bully you? You should be staying in the station where the rest of the rescues are staying. Why are you wandering so late? I just thought that you were sabotaging the defence equipment in the safebase, so I caught you."
Xiao Wu was this close to crying out loud that he was the one who was being bullied. What kind of allegations were these? If Bai Meiyue started doubting him for bullying a woman, how was he going to stay in the safe base?
"I did not! There are so many mutated bugs outside. If I mess up with the defences, what would happen to me? I will never dare to do it." Even though she hated Bai Meiyue and couldn’t stand her doing so well, Meng Anzhi wasn’t stupid; she knew that she could not harm the defences. Bai Meiyue was an ability user, and she was protected by a bunch of other ability users as well. If she messed up with the defence system, then even if she succeeded in sending the safe base into chaos, there would be no harm done to Bai Meiyue.
Why would she do something that could possibly harm her?
Meng Anzhi would never do something that would harm herself. She was also in a hurry to clear the suspicion from her head. If Bai Meiyue decided that she had indeed done something wrong, then she would not waste another second to kick her out of the safe base. Was this man trying to kill her?
She lowered her head and spoke in an ashamed voice, "I am not stealing or hurting anyone; I was just trying to earn some food for myself." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes and stated, "The mess team only delivers and serve meals in the afternoon and the evening, what are you doing roaming at night?"
