Chapter 584: Double Standards
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Did she seduce him? Du Yue walked out of the tent in confusion and locked her gaze on Zhang Hui’s face. She stared at Zhang Hui for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. Zhang Hui looked like a pretty girl from a humble family. Her facial features were gentle and did not have any offensive power, but at the same time, she did not have the kind of exquisite feeling that would make people remember her at a glance.
As she did not have enough food and warm clothes, when she first met Zhang Hui, she was thin and did not look very elegant. However, ever since she followed Shen Teng, she did not have to worry about food and water anymore. Her entire body was visibly rounder, and her face was much rosier than before.
Even so, Zhang Hui was still far from the kind of beauty who could seduce men.
Du Yue did not hide her gaze as she sized her up. Zhang Hui was already feeling guilty. In addition to being stared at by Du Yue, she was so scared that she kept retreating. In her panic, she stumbled into Shen Teng’s car. This gave her quite a fright, and her body staggered.
Zhang Hui bit her lip. “You guys… What do you want to do to me?”
She had wanted to follow Mrs. Zhang and slip away in the chaos, but when they were about to open the door, they were suddenly electrocuted by the huge current on the door. The right side of Zhang Hui’s body was numb from the shock. It was impossible for them to sneak away, and they had no chance of winning if they attacked. Zhang Hui could only rely on her mouth.
“My mother and I must’ve been possessed earlier. We shouldn’t have schemed against Shen Teng, and we shouldn’t have thought about throwing him out and letting him fend for himself. However, we only thought about it for a moment and didn’t really act on it. Can you guys forgive us just this once on account that Brother Teng and I are in love?”
When she found him useless, she called him Shen Teng. When she was in need, she called him Brother Teng. Zhang Hui sure had double standards.
Du Yue looked down at her. “Why is Shen Teng so sick? I advise you to think about it carefully.”
Du Yue’s sudden interrogation made Zhang Hui nervous. Her gaze was erratic, and she could not hide the guilt in her words. “I don’t know either… He suddenly fell ill for no reason.”
Zhang Hui’s lie was too unprofessional. Even she herself would not believe it, let alone Du Yue and the other two.
Du Yue did not get angry. She just sneered. “Have you forgotten that it’s the end of the world?”
When Zhang Hui suddenly heard this, she was a little stunned. She looked at Du Yue with a puzzled expression. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
“My meaning is very simple.” Du Yue raised her eyebrows. “I’m asking you a question. I’m giving you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you don’t want to cooperate with me, 1 have a lot of ways to make you tell the truth, but you have to suffer. Whether you suffer or not depends on your choice.”
Du Yue did not hide her threat at all. Zhang Hui’s body trembled again, and she subconsciously took a few steps back. She looked at Du Yue with fear and vigilance in her eyes.
“You… What do you want to do to me? The base is not far from here. If you dare to hurt me, I’ll shout and call everyone over. Then, you won’t have a good ending either.”
When Du Yue heard this, she could not help but laugh out loud. “1 haven’t thought about it yet, but since you’ve already made up your mind, I have to give you a chance to shout and call people over, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of all of your plans?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Yue drew her Tang sword from her waist. The silver blade glinted coldly, scaring Zhang Hui and her mother into hugging each other tightly. If an outsider saw this scene, they would probably think that Du Yue was bullying these two poor women because she had a weapon. However, Du Yue did not care about anyone else. She only followed her heart.
She held the Tang sword and approached Zhang Hui and her mother with a cold expression. Seeing that Du Yue was getting closer and closer to them, the faces of Zhang Hui and Mrs. Zhang turned pale uncontrollably. Although what Zhang Hui said before was true, she knew in her heart that if Du Yue really did not intend to let her off, no one would come to save them even if she shouted until her throat went hoa.r.s.e.
If it was an official base, the security personnel in the base might intervene if there was a riot or dispute. However, on this vast gra.s.sland, the base had not completely settled. There were countless things that needed to be done every day. There were only so many patrols and leaders in the base. They did not have the energy and time to take care of everyone..
