Chapter 279 - 131: A Woman Like a Juicer
It wasn’t until noon that Hong Yao and Feng Chuo finally arrived, late as always. The two returned in light attire; had they really come back empty-handed?
As soon as they approached, Hong Yao began complaining to Yue Jinghua, "Boss, next time there’s a job, I really don’t want to bring this idiot with the Feng surname again. He almost botched the nightclub operation."
It turned out that last night Hong Yao, following Yue Jinghua’s instructions, stealthily returned with Feng Chuo with the intention to make a quick move, snatching only the valuables and then leaving.
Little did she know, Feng Chuo actually went off on his own during their search.
He saw a group of young boys and girls imprisoned in the nightclub and took it upon himself to release them. These children were mostly good-looking and came from good families, captured by Lady Yao, and since they were not locals, after Feng Chuo released them, he had no way to settle them down.
Hong Yao was terribly headached, and in the end, she could only take these children to the village where Feng Chuo lived before, temporarily entrusting the children to the care of the villagers. This back and forth took up most of the time.
"Hong Yao, having been through similar situations yourself, you should be aware of how miserable the future of those children would be if they hadn’t been rescued," Yue Jinghua, a female spy with no sense of morality, spoke righteously at this moment, approving of Feng Chuo’s actions and criticizing Hong Yao’s shortsightedness for her mercenary ways, causing Teng Wu and the others to nod in agreement.
"In a few days, you’ll write to the families of those children, asking them to redeem... oh, not that, to provide some living expenses, and then bring the children back," Yue Jinghua said articulately.
"..." Everyone fell silent in unison.
"Hey, what’s with those looks? In this day and age, which part of living doesn’t cost money? We need to squeeze out every last drop of profit. You wouldn’t understand this juicer-style theory of survival," Yue Jinghua said discontentedly. She had a whole family to support, including family members and dependents, as well as a mercenary group in urgent need of turning losses into profits, not to mention a slew of voracious Dark Beasts.
