While Bai Meiyue dealt with the other three guards, Lei Qian killed the other three guards. He was about to chase after Bai Meiyue when he heard the sound of someone whimpering in pain. Startled, he shifted behind the courtyard wall and peeked past the wall. As soon as he looked from behind the wall, he saw two guards dragging a woman.
His eyes flashed with anger when he saw the actions of the two men and he immediately shot after the two. Even though he didn't know who that woman was, he still wanted to save her. However, just as he chased after the woman, Bai Meiyue pulled him back.
She said to him, "What do you think you are doing?"
Just now she heard the whimpering and moaning of a woman and knew that this man would try to save her. She had no idea why Lei Qian was like this, but it was a good thing that she followed her instincts and came to look for him or else he would have truly jumped in to save that woman.
"She—"
"It's not your responsibility," Bai Meiyue said coldly. "Master Lei, you are forgetting that we are not at an abandoned building but in a residential area. Do you even know how many people are guarding this house? I did a calculation."
"There are more than fifty people guarding just this region. Do you really want to put the lives of others at risk because of your heroic actions?" Her eyes flashed with annoyance as she questioned, "Do you think it's fair because I don't think it's alright."
As soon as she finished speaking Lei Qian's face turned red. He lowered his head and apologised, "Sorry, I was not thinking."
"That… much is clear," Bai Meiyue stated in a clipped voice.
However, when she saw that the man was clearly distraught, she then said to him, "It will be better if we help that girl in an indirect way."
If she charged ahead and helped that girl, Bai Meiyue was worried that she would end up creating a loud ruckus. If that happened, Murong Yue would certainly turn alert.
"What do you mean?" Lei Qian glanced at her and questioned.
In response to her question, Bai Meiyue simply smiled.
"Let me go!" Shen Lulu grunted while struggling against the hold of the two men but neither of them let her go. They dragged her to the warehouse where they usually kept their new goods and dumped the woman inside the cold warehouse.
Then, without paying attention to her cries and sobbing, they turned around and walked away.
Shen Lulu, who was thrown inside the warehouse panicked when she saw that those two thugs really left her alone. At the same time, she couldn't understand why these two men captured her and brought her here.
She was just a small survivor but then a beautiful woman brought her to the courtyard and told her that she would raise her like a sister; that was the only reason Shen Lulu came to this place.
