True Love Waits

Chapter 1351 A Salesman

Half of the man's face was obscured by his face mask. He looked middle-aged, maybe forty years old. He held a woman in his arms. Hearing what Pike said, he kicked him and cursed, "You idiot! You can't even handle one skinny bitch! I'm running low on patience. Bring her here tomorrow. I'll interrogate her myself! I'll show you how it's done!" He believed he had what it took to make her spill the beans. Pike swallowed his anger and nodded to his boss. "Yes sir!"

After Pike left with his men, the woman in the masked man's arms said the most vicious words in the gentlest voice. "Kirk, it's just two women. Why not just kill them?"

Kirk Qin thought on this for a while, muscles dancing in his face, jaw set in fierce determination. "We'll soon find out if Erma Huo is really a cop. I'll break her, but it might take some *ahem!* doing. If she still won't talk after that, then there's no reason to keep her alive."

Erma's skin was fair and tender, and she was more beautiful than any other woman in the surrounding villages. All men were attracted to her. It was no secret what he wanted to be "doing." Seeing the lust in his eyes, the woman stopped talking and carefully served him.

At dawn, Erica awoke and decided to put her plan into action. She placed a box in the hole on the ground, covered it with a wooden board, and covered that with a layer of soil. She moved the table on top of all that.

After making sure the box was essentially invisible, she went to the sink to wash her hands, watching the dirt turn to mud and slide down the drain. Finally, she opened the door of her room.

As soon as she did that, she saw a glint of metal flash toward her. Someone was trying to stab her with a dagger. She dodged, and her attacker ducked behind her, intending to slice her throat open. She spun, and dug her elbow into her attacker's ribs.

Then, shaking from adrenaline, she took in what was going on outside her room. There were at least twenty people standing in the old yard. Tessie there too, tied up. Her mouth was covered with tape and she could only make muffled sounds.

Pike laughed wildly, "Good morning, little widow! Your friend is in our hands. I advise you to surrender, or I can't guarantee her safety!"

Erica leaned against the door casually. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Let her go. I'll go with you."

"You wish! No, I'll think we'll keep both of you!" Pike and Erica had been at odds for a long time. He strongly suspected the woman worked for the police. It was just that he couldn't find any evidence of that yet, and she had never been caught red handed.

Erica shook her head. "My friend can't fight. All you're going to do is push her around. So, that's a deal-breaker. If you don't let her go, I won't go with you! Haul her off somewhere, and the only thing left of your yard will be ashes!"

Erica was sure there was something wrong with that yard.
