Chapter 1255 - Yes Darling (12)

The wealthy people of the West District were still making a fuss, but the attitude of the East District caught them by surprise. The East District adopted a strong stance.

Assistant He waited for Ming Shu to make a decision after reporting the current situation to her.

The leaders of the other organizations didn’t say anything. They decided to give Du Ji the power to make the decision.

Assistant He wondered what Young Miss did to them…

Ming Shu touched her chin. “Didn’t someone say that they wanted to build a defensive wall around the East District? Let’s build it. We can learn from our neighbor. If anyone wants to enter the East District, they will need a pass.”

Assistant He: “…”

Are you serious?

This is the East District!

This is the East District that’s known as the garbage collector district!

“Speaking of which…” Ming Shu’s eyes lit up. “The factories of the companies in the West District are located at our East District, right?”

“Erm… yes.” What is Young Miss trying to do?

To prevent pollution in the West District, all the factories were located in the East District.

…

At the Flower Alley…

The narrow street was filled with people.

Lu Ning didn’t feel like working these past few days. She went out to buy some groceries and was puzzled to see so many people in the alley.

She rose on her tiptoes, but didn’t see anything.

Lu Ning grabbed a woman whom she knew. “Aunt, what’s happening? Why is everyone gathered here?”

The woman replied nicely, “Little Ning, Du Ji put up an advertisement stating that they are looking for workers to build a defensive wall around the East District. Look, this is the advertisement.”

“Build a defensive wall?”

Lu Ning took an advertisement pamphlet. It was made exquisitely. It stated that the East District was building a defensive wall and was hiring people.

She muttered, “What is Du Ji trying to do?”

Lu Ning went back home in a daze.

Ban Lan jumped up immediately. “Sister Lu Ning, you’re back.”

“Yes,” Lu Ning replied, “I’m fine. You don’t have to come over every day.”

Ban Lan scratched his head. “I have nothing to do too. Recently… I was let go.”

Ban Lan paused. “I made some food for you. Do you want to eat?”

“Ban Lan, thank you.”

“Sister Lu Ning, there is no need to thank me.” Ban Lan looked at Lu Ning seriously. “I’ve told you that if you continue to be like this, I’ll get angry.”

“Okay, okay.”

Ban Lan softened his expression. “What are you holding?”

“Oh, when I came back just now, someone was distributing pamphlets. Du Ji wants to build a defensive wall.”

Ban Lan frowned. “What defensive wall?”

Lu Ning passed the pamphlet to him.

“What does Du Ji want to do?” Ban Lan was curious. “We are not the wealthy district. Why do we need a defensive wall?”

Lu Ning shrugged. She didn’t know, either.

Lu Ning remembered something. “Did you manage to find out anything about the girl that came last time?”

Lu Ning felt a little speechless when she thought about the girl.

After so long, they still didn’t know what she was called.

“No…” Ban Lan shook his head. “I went to all the places I met her but no one recognizes her.”

“Is it…” Lu Ning sighed. “I wonder if I’ll have the chance to meet her again.”

“Maybe.” Ban Lan wanted to pat Lu Ning’s shoulder but decided against it. He took the pamphlet. “Sister Lu Ning, do you think I can go and apply for this job?”

Lu Ning frowned. “Du Ji…”

Du Ji was in that kind of business.

Although both parties did it willingly…

“Sister Lu Ning, this is what our East District is like. Du Ji gives those people money and they give their lifespan.”

Lu Ning understood the theory, but she was still worried. “I just don’t want you to be implicated in that matter.”

“The pamphlet says that we won’t be working at Du Ji. We will just be building the defensive wall.”

Ban Lan paused. “Those people will not dare to look for me at Du Ji. If I don’t go and work there, I might not be able to find any work.”

Lu Ning felt irritated.

This world…

Why was it like this?

The law only protected the rich people.

Everyone’s lives were of the same value.

Lu Ning thought about it and finally nodded.

“Sister, I’ll work hard and take you out of this place. I’ll let you live a good life.”

“You…” Lu Ning shook her head. “I’ll be happy if you don’t cause any trouble.”

Ban Lan turned serious. “Sister, I’m all grown up!”

“Yes, yes, yes. All grown up.”

Ban Lan knew that Lu Ning didn’t really believe him so he was disappointed. He was really all grown up now. He was a man, not a child.

One day, he would make Sister Lu Ning recognize him!

…

At a certain villa…

A man with a dragon tattoo on his left arm and a tiger tattoo on his right arm was hugging a woman. When he heard about this, he scoffed. “Is the little girl from Du Ji crazy?”

“I don’t know what Du Ji did to the other organizations, but no one dares to disobey her. I feel that we need to investigate the matter.”

“Isn’t Du Ji giving us business?” the man said. “Will the people from the West District let her do it?”

“Brother Kun…”

Brother Kun waved his hand. “Don’t worry. Du Ji will be destroyed by that little girl. Order your men to contact those people and let them come to us. It’s time for us to earn some money.”

The man hesitated. However, Brother Kun was firm in his decision so he swallowed the rest of his words.

“Oh, how is that girl?”

“Still the same,” the man replied.

Brother Kun narrowed his eyes. “She still says the same thing?”

“Yes.”

Brother Kun got interested. “Let’s go and take a look.”

Brother Kun got up with the woman in his arms and walked out of the room. They came in front of a closed door.

There were people guarding the room.

“Brother Kun.”

“Open the door.”

The door opened. The room was dark. There was no sound at all. The man beside Brother Kun went in first and on the lights.

Brother Kun walked in with the woman. He saw the girl that was in the corner.

Yi Xi looked at Brother Kun with vigilance. She tried her best to calm down. “If you all dare to do anything to me, you’re dead. I’m the Young Lady of the Yi family.”

Yi Xi regretted running away that night.

The East District was a dangerous place at night.

She couldn’t go back home so she had to find a safe place to stay till morning. After that, she would have been able to go back.

However, she was unlucky. She was abducted before she could find a resting place.

She was just a lady so she was not her opponent’s match.

After she was abducted, she used her identity to scare them. It managed to keep her safe for the moment.

She never wanted to end up in the same state as her past life.

Brother Kun released the woman in his arms. “You all can leave first.”

Yi Xi shrunk back. “What do you want?”

Brother Kun gave an evil smile. “You said that you are the Young Lady of the Yi family, right? Let’s have a conversation.”

The woman went out of the room with the other men. They closed the door.

After a while, a scream came from the room. The people outside were used to it.

The woman gave the door a look of disdain. She turned around and left.
