Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Are You Responsible If I Get Sick?
Right now, I don’t even know what time it is, but... if this keeps going, we’ll probably catch a cold before tomorrow...
Noticing the small woman beside him shivering, Beichen Rui frowned, coughed lightly, and spoke up, "Is there anyone outside?"
Suddenly hearing him speak, Ye Xinluo jumped in surprise and asked warily, "What are you doing? It’s the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid they’ll come in and beat you?"
"It’s fine." Beichen Rui reassured with a smile and continued to call towards the door, "Is there anyone outside? Speak up..."
This time, he raised his voice a bit to make sure it could be heard outside.
Initially, Ye Xinluo didn’t know what he was up to, so she held her breath and waited quietly. Two minutes later, she clearly heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.
Is he... calling someone over? Could it be those people find him too noisy and are coming to settle the score!
Just as she was getting lost in her thoughts, a "bang bang bang" at the door interrupted her.
The person standing at the door said impatiently, "What’s all this noise? Why are you yelling in the middle of the night? Do you think you’re going to live forever and want me to pull you out for a beating?"
Ignoring his arrogant attitude, Rui coldly demanded, "Give us a blanket."
Hearing his words, Ye Xinluo was stunned. Why does he want a blanket?
The person at the door burst out laughing, speaking rudely, "Wow, are you guys still thinking about blankets in a situation like this? Want me to open a room for you to rest properly?"
"Cut the crap and stay put." With that, he turned to leave.
Listening to his footsteps getting further away, Beichen Rui spoke calmly, "If we catch a cold and something happens to us, are you going to be responsible?"
The scarred man stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and turned back to look at the room, only to hear Beichen Rui’s cool voice again.
"Your employer probably just asked you to bring us here, not to mistreat the hostages. If your employer finds out we’re sick, wouldn’t they come after you? Do you think they’ll dock your pay?"
After Beichen Rui finished, the scarred man fell into thought for a long time before he spoke, "He didn’t tell me to mistreat you, nor did he ask me to serve you well. You might as well stop wasting your breath and behave."
The next second, Beichen Rui’s voice echoed again, "With this cold weather, I estimate we won’t even make it till tomorrow before freezing to death. When your employer finds dead hostages, you won’t be able to escape blame."
This made the scarred man’s heart skip a beat. At this moment, the man beside him lost patience and spoke to the scarred man, "Brother Qiang, this guy talks too damn much. Let me go shut him up."
He was about to head to the room when the scarred man stopped him after just two steps, "Go get them two blankets."
He’s right. This broken-down warehouse easily lets the wind in, and it’s winter, so it gets extremely cold at night.
If we don’t take precautions, staying here overnight will easily make one sick.
If not for taking this job, I wouldn’t have come here... Even for someone as rough and tough as me, it’s unbearable, let alone these two...
From the moment I brought them here, I could tell they hadn’t suffered much in life; they obviously come from the city, especially that woman, with her delicate skin and fragile appearance...
