Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 136 Extraordinarily Exciting

Ye Shaohong's reaction speed was quite fast.

As soon as he realized something was wrong, he immediately rolled over and tumbled off the bed onto the floor.

The pain from the aggravated wound also invigorated Ye Shaohong's weary spirits.

He reached behind his waist and grabbed the Browning M1910 pistol, raising the muzzle as if to pull the trigger.

Just then, the woman in the bed stirred.

She seemed to have just woken up, and didn't seem to want to get up. She just rubbed her eyes and then softly called out a name.

"Captain?" These two simple words stopped Ye Shaohong from pulling the trigger.

"Yu Manli?"

"Why are you in my house?"

Having ascertained the other party's identity, the murderous intent that had been lingering in Ye Shaohong's heart dissipated. He put the gun back into his waistband, then stood up to turn on the light.

"Don't bother looking anymore. There have been a lot of power outages around here for the past few days, and it's going out again tonight."

At this moment, Yu Manli had already sat up. Through the faint moonlight filtering through the curtains, Ye Shaohong noticed that Yu Manli was only wearing a close-fitting blouse.

The peaks and ridges are layered and appear and disappear.

What she said startled Ye Shaohong even more.

"Wait, you mean these past few days?"

"Did you stay in my room while I was away?"

Ye Shaohong couldn't understand why this was happening, since he had already sent Yu Manli away long ago.

He personally drove the cosmetics to the shop.

The goal was to help Yu Manli escape the vortex of the Special Service Department and start a new life quietly and peacefully.

But why did she come back?

"Yes."

"Including today, I've been at your house for four days now."

“Uncle Ma is kind-hearted. When he heard that I was in trouble, he couldn’t bear to send me away. In addition, you haven’t been home recently, so he let me stay for the time being.”

Yu Manli didn't know what she was thinking. In front of Ye Shaohong, she knew she wasn't wearing many clothes, but she didn't try to cover herself up. She just sat there gracefully.

"Difficulties?" "Didn't I release you on paperwork? Did the Nanjing Police Station come looking for you again?"

Although this is just Ye Shaohong's guess, if it is true, Ye Shaohong will definitely not let it go.

The chief and deputy chief of the Nancheng Police Station are still locked up in the underground cell of Villa No. 1, Honggongci. Their fate is still uncertain. If the Jinling Police Station dares to cause trouble for Yu Manli, Ye Shaohong would not mind abusing his power for personal gain once again.

However, Yu Manli's answer to him was beyond Ye Shaohong's expectations.

It wasn't those black-skinned dogs from the Jinling Police Station, but Yu Manli's adoptive father who somehow got wind of it and came looking for her again.

Ye Shaohong knew some of what Manli had learned about her life.

She was sold into a brothel by her adoptive father when she was 13, which began her tragic and painful life.

Logically, Yu Manli should hate her adoptive father. In the drama "The Disguiser," Yu Manli said more than once that she hated that man and wished she could kill him with her own hands.

In order to get rid of her adoptive father, Yu Manli even disobeyed Wang Tianfeng's orders once.

Wang Tianfeng severely reprimanded Yu Manli for this matter.

Given Yu Manli's personality, if her adoptive father suddenly came to her door, she should have sought revenge, and after doing so, she would have immediately disappeared and fled far away.

How could someone force you to hide in their house?

Unless an unexpected situation occurs.

Puzzled, Ye Shaohong asked about the reason, and Yu Manli only gave a single answer.

During the years she was away from home, her mother had another child.

Still a boy.

In an instant, Ye Shaohong understood everything. It wasn't that Yu Manli didn't want revenge, but that she couldn't bring herself to do it. Ultimately, it was the feudalistic ideas of this era that were to blame.

The idea of ​​valuing sons over daughters has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even though Yu Manli was ruined by her adoptive father her whole life, when she heard that her mother had given birth to a younger brother for her, even though she had never met this brother and didn't even know if it was real or not, she was still moved.

But Yu Manli still hesitated.

She didn't want to kill her adoptive father out of hatred, leaving her mother and her stranger brother in a miserable state of destitution.

How sad.

For a moment, Ye Shaohong didn't know what to say.

Persuasion?

What a joke! Ye Shaohong's soul came from the future. In the era he lived in, gender equality had long been a social consensus.

Ye Shaohong is not a chauvinist, and he certainly wouldn't try to persuade Yu Manli to let go of this hatred based on the old tradition of valuing sons over daughters.

He just felt sorry for this weak woman.

Despite her young age, Yu Manli has already killed many people and is known as the Black Widow.

But in truth, Yu Manli still retained some pure kindness in her heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up her rouge shop business without hesitation and gone to hide in Ye Shaohong's house after her adoptive father appeared and she learned about her mother's whereabouts.

"Leave this to me."

"Since you've already moved in, stay at my place for a few days. I'll let you know the details after I've investigated."

After learning the truth, Ye Shaohong prepared to leave. He planned to stay in his uncle's eldest son's room for the night and get through the night first.

As for tomorrow, let's think about it tomorrow. Ye Shaohong wanted to leave, but Yu Manli stopped him.

"Captain, where are you going?"

When that soft, timid voice rang out, even Ye Shaohong, with his iron will, found himself unable to move.

I can only express my own thoughts.

But no sooner had he spoken than Yu Manli laughed again.

While Ye Shaohong was puzzled, Yu Manli finally told him the truth.

She really didn't intend to stay in Ye Shaohong's room; something new had happened.

During the few days that Ye Shaohong was away from home, Uncle Ma and his son were busy with the things Ye Shaohong had instructed them to do. Just a few days ago, when they went out, they unexpectedly ran into a mother and daughter who were fleeing famine.

Let's not talk about the old mother, but the little girl was really pretty and very understanding. Then something dramatic happened.

Seeing the pitiful state of the mother and daughter, Ma Bo's eldest son gave them some money so they could find a place to settle down.

Unexpectedly, after the mother and daughter received the money, they not only did not leave, but also continued to follow Uncle Ma and his son.

Finally, after inquiring around, Uncle Ma and his son learned that the mother and daughter had lost their family and now only wanted to find a stable home to rely on. They saw that Uncle Ma and his son were clean and tidy and kind-hearted, so the old mother thought of entrusting her youngest daughter to them.

At least we have something to eat.

It just so happened that Ma Bo's eldest son had never married, and seeing that the girl was quite nice, he had an idea and begged Ma Bo to take them in.

Mr. Ma couldn't bear it, so he finally agreed.

Now, the mother and daughter have also moved into the small courtyard rented by Ye Shaohong.

Even more bizarrely, as soon as the mother and daughter entered the small courtyard rented by Ye Shaohong, the old mother sent her daughter to Ma Bo's eldest son's room that very night.

With this arrangement, all three side rooms in Ye Shaohong's courtyard were now occupied.

Where else can Yu Manli stay?

That's why Yu Manli moved into Ye Shaohong's room.

Why did Yu Manli tell Ye Shaohong these things? Actually, she just wanted to tell Ye Shaohong something: even if he went out now, he wouldn't be able to find a place to stay.

Unless he wanted to disturb the old man, Mr. Marbury, from resting.

Ye Shaohong was stunned after hearing Yu Manli's words.

"This...this damn world."

What could Ye Shaohong say now? He couldn't very well wake up the poor mother and daughter in the middle of the night and ask them to move to another room.

There's also Uncle Ma, an old man who's been by Grandpa's side since he was a child. Although he's nominally a servant of the Ye family, the three Ye siblings have long regarded him as family.

He couldn't just knock on the door in the middle of the night.

Ye Shaohong was momentarily embarrassed.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know where to go.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. It's so late, where could you possibly go?"

"Let's just make do in this room for now."

"This bed is quite big. We can squeeze in and still fit."

As she spoke, Yu Manli began to move the bed, took a pillow from the bedside table, and placed it directly next to her.

Seeing Ye Shaohong still standing there dumbfounded, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Captain, you're still standing there?" "You're not worried about me, are you? I'm a woman and I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

After speaking, Yu Manli actually lay back down in bed. She didn't close her eyes, but just quietly looked at the beams and the ceiling.

This put Ye Shaohong in a desperate situation.

Come in.

He was afraid that he might not sleep soundly at night and something unexpected might happen. After all, he was a young man, and if something was wrong, he might have an instinctive reaction.

If I don't go in, Yu Manli will laugh at me again.

Ye Shaohong thought for a moment, then thought, "What the hell am I afraid of?"

Just as Yu Manli said, other girls aren't afraid of this, but he's still hesitating back and forth.

Shame on you.

Once he had made up his mind, Ye Shaohong didn't delay any longer and immediately crawled into bed.

To be honest, perhaps because Yu Manli had been lying here for half the night, the bed was quite warm.

Not long after he went inside, Ye Shaohong's body, which had been frozen all night, slowly recovered a bit.

But this feeling didn't last long.

Soon, Ye Shaohong realized that something was wrong. Although he was trying his best to avoid Yu Manli, he also tried to control his body so as not to make contact with her.

But how big are old-fashioned beds anyway?

Even though Ye Shaohong was trying to control himself, he still accidentally touched Yu Manli's body when he moved.

That feeling...

Tsk...

very special.

It's like an old man who has been starving for years suddenly bumping into a respectable young woman—a little awkward, and with a strange, illicit thought of having an affair.

Ye Shaohong was completely dumbfounded and stunned...
