As midnight approached, the guards in the prison had fallen asleep. Lin Dongyu carefully extracted a thin piece of wire from her hair and fiddled with the keyhole for a moment before the lock clicked open.
The moonlight outside was bright and inviting. Lin Dongyu breathed in the fresh air of freedom and was about to step forward when suddenly, someone grabbed her collar.
It was Hu Ba, who wore a dark smile. "Little One, don’t blame me for not warning you; escaping will only lead to harsher punishment."
"Punishment?" Lin Dongyu gasped, her heart racing as she prepared to run. If she got caught, it would really mean more punishment! But how could Hu Ba let her escape? She looked at him with pleading eyes and forced a smile. "I just wanted to enjoy the moonlight!"
Hu Ba grinned at her. "Do you think the County Magistrate will believe you?" Lin Dongyu felt an urge to tear off his hypocritical smile, but she couldn’t afford to do that now; she needed something from him. Lowering her head, she tugged at his sleeve in apology. "I won’t do it again. Can you please not tell the County Magistrate?"
"You want me to keep quiet? Then beg me."
Lin Dongyu fawned over him, asking, "Please, will you let me go?"
"I might let you go, but only if you bear me a child."
Was he serious? Three months in prison versus a lifetime of happiness—anyone would choose wisely! Lin Dongyu withdrew her hand. "I think I should go back…"
"Little One?"
"What…" Before she could finish her sentence, Hu Ba suddenly threw her over his shoulder. Lin Dongyu nearly bit her tongue. "What are you doing?"
"If you’re not escaping, how can I pursue my wife?"
Lin Dongyu didn’t quite understand the meaning of his words, but her confusion didn’t last long. Hu Ba brought her back to his home, a simple courtyard, and said, “This will be your home from now on.”
He truly regarded her as his wife and expected her to bear his children!
With her chastity at risk, Lin Dongyu remained on high alert, ready to fight him to the death. Hu Ba looked at her distressed expression and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Little One, you need to gain some weight if you want to have children.”
Who said she wanted to have any? Why not ask her if she was willing?
Early in the morning, Hu Ba took her to a restaurant at the corner for breakfast, clearly intending to fatten her up for his own purposes. The thought made Lin Dongyu lose her appetite. The neighbors nearby greeted her politely: “Oh, this must be Lady Hu! Truly a beauty!”
“ Jail Boss Hu is really lucky!”
Hu Ba’s dark face turned slightly red, which displeased Lin Dongyu. Taking advantage of his distraction while he greeted acquaintances, she quickly turned to a nearby man for help: “Sir, please save me! I’ve been kidnapped by that Da Hu!”
“Miss, don’t involve me!” The man dropped his coins and ran away.
“Auntie, that Da Hu is a kidnapper! Help me!”
“Oh dear, run! This is terrifying…” An elderly woman with gray hair sprinted away faster than a rabbit.
Were they all possessed?
Lin Dongyu turned around and froze in place… Had she also been possessed? Why was she being stared at so intensely that she couldn’t move?
Hu Ba raised an eyebrow. "Little One, are you trying to run away?"
"No!" Lin Dongyu shook her head vigorously. If she admitted it, would he crush her? Why did she have such a bleak realization? Now she understood why the crime rate in Fengcheng County had decreased because of Hu Ba—no one dared to commit crimes; just one glance from him could scare someone to death, not to mention the torturous things in prison.
Hu Ba sighed and gently ruffled her hair. "Little One, don't be afraid of me."
"Uh, I'm not afraid!"
Yeah, right! Was it blasphemy to lie like this? Heaven must believe that she was being forced!
Lin Dongyu became even more determined to escape; she still had grand dreams of roaming the martial world! She personally cooked and mixed Knockout Drug into the dishes, feeling relieved only after Hu Ba finished eating. After he took the last sip of soup, he said, "Little One, I look forward to your progress next time."
Look forward to her progress? Did that mean he found her cooking distasteful?! If it was so bad, why did he finish it all? Lin Dongyu was furious and on the verge of exploding, but Hu Ba gently caressed her face and kissed her little lips. She was momentarily stunned as Hu Ba smiled and reassured her, "Little One, just be my little wife."
As if she could calm down! She wanted to be a master thief and hadn't even started her career yet before getting herself into trouble—wasn't that a huge loss? Lin Dongyu felt conflicted; being stolen a kiss seemed like a loss already.
