Watching Hu Ba go to bathe, Lin Dongyu furrowed her brows tighter and tighter: how could he not be fainting after consuming Knockout Drug?
Curiously, she followed him and opened a small crack in the door. She saw Hu Ba strip off his clothes, revealing his well-defined muscles... It turned out that even a tiger like him had a somewhat alluring masculine charm.
Hu Ba had already noticed her outside the door. Once she had seen enough, he leisurely said, “Little One, want to join me for a wash?” Lin Dongyu's cheeks flushed hot: “Pervert!” She quickly fled back into her room, unable to hide the frantic beating of her heart.
This was bad; she needed to leave soon. She had become so desperate that she found even a tiger appealing.
Lin Dongyu pretended to be casual as she asked Hu Ba, “Some medicines don’t work on you, do they?” Otherwise, how could so much Knockout Drug not knock him out?
“Are you trying to drug me?” Hu Ba's dark face broke into a mischievous grin. “If you want to, just say it. Regular medicines don’t affect me.”
What a nightmare; all that money spent on Knockout Drug was wasted! And she had been teased for nothing!
Hu Ba patted her head and kissed her cheek. He often showed such affectionate gestures lately. “Little One, I’m going to Yamen for a bit. You stay here and behave, alright?”
Lin Dongyu watched him leave the house and peeked outside to ensure he wouldn’t return before changing into a coarse cloth outfit and sneaking out the back door. It had been a month! She was finally about to escape! Lin Dongyu couldn’t help but shed a few bitter tears for herself.
Wrapping her headscarf tightly to avoid being recognized, she bent down and peeked out of the alley but bumped heavily into someone. “Ah, sorry, sorry! I…” This was bad; Fengcheng County was crawling with Hu Ba’s spies. If she got caught, it would be disastrous.
“Miss, what are you doing?”
“I’m not a miss; I’m an aunt!” Didn’t he see how old-fashioned she looked? This person had no eye for detail! Lin Dongyu coughed lightly. “I need to get out now; please step aside!”
The man chuckled lightly and asked, "Are you planning to leave Hu Ba?"
Huh? She felt exposed! Lin Dongyu looked up and glared at him, "What do you want?"
This man was pale and slender, completely different from Hu Ba. "You can't escape his watchful eyes like this," Zou Shuheng said with a smile. "If you want to get rid of Hu Ba, I have a way."
Lin Dongyu was curious. "What way?"
Zou Shuheng was surprised by her naivety. "He wants you to be his wife, so as long as you have a husband, won't that work?"
"You mean..."
"I'll help you."
"But why?" Lin Dongyu was terrified of Hu Ba. During this time, she had heard that Fengcheng County was fraught with danger; who knew what this person was up to? What if she ended up in a worse situation? She cautiously asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"Don't you think Hu Ba is too arrogant?" Zou Shuheng said. "There's no reason for him to continue being so arrogant."
Lin Dongyu completely agreed; Hu Ba was indeed too arrogant, thinking about making a girl like her bear his children right after they met!
As Lin Dongyu and Zou Shuheng were discussing their plans, a passerby glanced over curiously. Upon seeing them, the person nearly exclaimed, " Lady Hu?" The individual looked warily at Zou Shuheng. "Who is this man?"
"Do you think this is fair to Jail Boss Hu?"
"Oh, so the Adulterer is from the Holy Forest Pavilion. How outrageous! He even dares to steal a woman from Jail Boss Hu!"
The neighbors were drawn out by the commotion, each one indignant. Recently, Da Hu had finally found a wife who could tolerate him, and he had become much gentler. Now, someone was trying to lure Lady Hu away?
"Send the Adulterer to the authorities!" the crowd exclaimed in anger. Turning to face Lin Dongyu, their expressions shifted. " Lady Hu, would you like to join us in accusing this rogue?"
Lin Dongyu understood; they had cleared her of any involvement! Should she feel touched? She didn’t want to go to the county office at all! "I... I won't go. I..." Lin Dongyu said with a pained expression, but in the end, she was still dragged into the county office.
