Chapter 235: Difference

Lyca paused before she smiled. That was a lot. It seems that being serious wasn't really her forte? Seeing Rue in a daze, she turned her back and walked towards the group of men and women waiting for her.

"Hogan, tell me everything." She said.

Hogan immediately told her about what happened. Apparently, the security wasn't really that tight and focused their attention on guarding outside Luis and his friend's tents. This was because they deemed Lyca as more dangerous than two drugged women who were already sleeping.

So rescuing them wasn't the problem at all.

"They are alive." That's was the only thing that Lyca said. "Even if you want to try and get your revenge, you won't be able to. My guess is they are already in the hospital right now, being treated for trying to overdose themselves with drugs." Lyca said before she instructed Hogan to keep an eye on Ma Ping. This man was quite emotional so she was already expecting him to once again try to make people pay for hurting his friends.

Just as Lyca expected, Ma Ping was indeed trying to find ways to leave the camp when the night came. He slowly made his way towards the exit of a small clearing that would lead him towards the exit of this area. It would lead him straight to the road where he was planning to find a ride so he could go to the hospital and get his revenge.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Ma Ping froze when he heard Gu Cheng's voice. He looked towards the tent a few meters away from him. A few days ago, everyone was finally given their own space to sleep so right now, this camp was already full of different tents. "Nowhere. Go back to sleep." He hissed and continued walking. Ma Ping and Gu Cheng might be considered top of this batch but they never really get along with each other.

This wasn't some competition but it was purely because of their difference. Gu Cheng was quiet and not friendly. He is not very talkative and would prefer to read books. Meanwhile, Ma Ping was the exact opposite. Moreover, Ma Ping thinks that this Gu Cheng was very sexist. He thought that Gu Cheng was looking down on women too much and would always use the excuse that their biological body is different.

Gu Cheng believed that women were naturally weaker than men because of their bodies. Gu Cheng would call it natural and it was part of biology. To Ma Ping this reasoning was bullshit. Did this man saw Lyca handle a knife? Ma Ping was confident that Lyca could kill them in seconds. Of course, Ma Ping would use this argument against Gu Cheng but the latter would always say that in front of someone really strong, Lyca would be defeated.

In the end, the two would always end up arguing about this matter.

"You wanted to visit the hospital?" Of course, Gu Cheng used the word visit. "Can I come?"

"Why would you come with me? You are wounded. You will only slow me down."

"But I am smarter than you. I can think of ways to— "

"Is this really the time for that?" Ma Ping stopped walking and look at Gu Cheng. "Who cares if you are smarter? Can you move and hide? With that arm of yours, I doubt it." He looked at Gu Cheng's pale face.

"But— Junqi is— "

"I am not doing this for your girlfriend dummy! I am doing this for myself. Get over yourself!" Ma Ping was really simple. He wanted to make those people suffer to keep his promise to someone. He would never allow anyone to bully someone that he knew. As long as he is still alive, Ma Ping would never allow anyone to bully someone in front of him!

He might not be as smart as this Gu Cheng but at least he is someone who always keeps his promise.

"I am coming with you."

Ma Ping frown."Stupid. Go back to your tent or you can watch over your girlfriend!"

"I said— "

"I am not letting you come with me. You are far too weak. You won't be able to fight." He said. "Go back to your tent."

"No. That man is a nephew of the mayor I am certain that people will notice you. I would— "

"I said NO!" this time, Ma Ping raised his voice and immediately realized his mistake. He pursed his lips and glared at Gu Cheng. "If someone will see us, I would break your other arm."

"Oh? You think I would let you hurt me?" Gu Cheng took a step back. He knew how impulsive Ma Ping was. He wouldn't let this man hurt him.

"Eh? You two sounded so brave."

The two froze when they heard Lyca's voice in front of them. They turned their heads towards the clearing and immediately notice Lyca calmly standing just a few feet away from them. They didn't even notice the woman approached them! The two eyed each other and immediately understood that if Lyca wanted to hurt them, they would have been dead by now.

"Miss Xi… we uh— " Ma Ping stuttered.

"Miss Xi, we were only trying to practice the skills that you taught us earlier. We were trying to walk around and see if our footsteps are light enough." Gu Cheng immediately said.

"Practice." Lyca nodded. "Did someone tell you that both of you were really bad at lying?" she chuckled. "You two looked really funny right now. Too bad, I am too lazy to laugh."

"Miss Xi... I..." Gu Cheng hesitated. He already knew that Lyca was smart enough to know that he was lying. "I just wanted to ask Ma Ping to accompany me to the hospital so I could get my revenge. This wasn't his fault at all." In Gu Cheng's mind, it would be better if Lyca would punish him than Ma Ping. After all, Gu Cheng was already wounded. A little more pain wouldn't matter. 

What was important was for Ma Ping to avoid punishment so he would still sneak out and get his revenge against those people who hurt Junqi.
