Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 833: Chapter 501: Worries (Part 2)

Noda Hikari got up, looking at Luo Ye with a speechless face: "Are you even a girl?"

"Can’t you tell?" Luo Ye paced back and forth, feigning confusion, "I think I look quite feminine, why would you have such doubts?"

"I mean, girls are all afraid of snakes, how can you be like this?" Noda Hikari said while shrinking to the corner of the bed. Even though they were dead, she was afraid to speak of them.

"By your logic, what about girls who keep snakes as pets or perform snake stunts? What do they count as?" Luo Ye said as she piled up the little snakes she picked up, "Don’t tell me you don’t know what’s going on. Fuxin is a Five-star hotel; there’s no way so many of these little things could appear by themselves. The key point is, there was repellent scattered beside your bed beforehand. Don’t tell me you always sprinkle snake repellent before you sleep."

"I’m afraid of snakes." Noda Hikari shrank back, "So, I definitely didn’t do this, you should believe that."

Ye nodded, "Of course, I believe that, you’ve been lying on the bed the whole time, no chance to do anything even if you wanted? What I’m saying is, what exactly is happening, don’t tell me you don’t know.

If you still expect me to cooperate with you in the coming time, speak truthfully about this, you must understand, your secrecy could lead you to danger, weigh it carefully."

"I really don’t know about this matter, could it be... someone is trying to deal with me?" Noda Hikari shivered, stopped speaking.

"Do you take me for a fool?" Luo Ye looked speechless, "First, you told me earlier that you felt reptiles crawling in the room; second, there was snake repellent beside your bed; third, if you’re really as afraid of snakes as you claim, how come while not sleeping earlier you quietly curled up there? Is this reaction not too strange?"

Noda Hikari gritted her teeth: "Since I was young, my intuition has been extraordinarily accurate, whether you believe it or not, that’s the truth."

"Okay, if you don’t want to speak, don’t. If something happens later, don’t blame me for not warning you." Luo Ye said as she found two large convenience bags, donned gloves, and began packing the deeply slumbering little snakes into the bags.

Noda Hikari closed her eyes, silently laying back down.

Luo Ye glanced at her, shook her head, and said no more. She certainly knew that Noda Hikari could not have done this herself, and the accomplices wouldn’t be among those she’s met.

Noda Hikari doesn’t want to talk, and she can’t force it, but the coming protection will certainly be much more dangerous. The target is her, and making Noda Hikari a pawn that could be discarded is a possibility. Unfortunately, the girl is still foolishly believing in the opponent.

It’s unclear whether Noda Hikari has lived a too simple life, or she is inherently naive; how can she not see such obvious things?

An unspoken night, the next day Luo Ye handed the convenience bags to Ye Mo, Ye Mo’s brow furrowed: "Ye’er, why didn’t you report immediately last night?"

"These snakes won’t wake up for three days, and the reason I didn’t report last night is that I feel waking everyone up in the middle of the night would mean no sleep.

Today everyone still has tasks to complete, weighing pros and cons, I think resting and conserving energy is better than causing a stir, besides, the most crucial thing is, the opponent is surely monitoring our actions, you see, they rarely get to act, we should give them some time to gloat, shouldn’t we?"

"You..." Ye Mo looked at her helplessly, "How should I describe you?" He pondered for a moment and said, "But you’re also right, it seems we should deploy more people."

"Increase secretly." Luo Ye suggested.

Ye nodded, "Hmm, that’s a good idea, by the way, have you not slept all night?"

"That’s right, how could I dare sleep, what if they bring in another batch of this stuff, don’t know how I’d die then."

"Noda Hikari is going to investigate the market with Yoda Song, that way, there are enough people to protect her, you should rest at home."

"No." Luo Ye waved her hand, "Afterwards, there will be plenty of tasks tougher than this, I must learn to adapt, right?"

"Alright, I can never win an argument with you." Ye Mo looked at her seriously, "Ye’er, since you’ve chosen this path, I won’t stop you, but, no matter when, ensure you keep yourself alive, understand?"

"I know, Brother Ye, why are you speaking so gravely?" Luo Ye waved her hand, "I’m heading back, you hurry up and arrange the personnel."

The day’s investigation went smoothly, and the next day, everything was peaceful, except Luo Ye had to stay in Noda Hikari’s room every day with her, and couldn’t sleep.

Were it not for her strong physical constitution, she wouldn’t have lasted.

After dinner, Feng Qing secretly pulled Luo Ye aside: "Let me accompany her tonight, look at you, your eyes are bloodshot."

"She won’t agree." Luo Ye smiled bitterly, "I have a feeling the opponent wants to tire me out before acting, it’s a pity Noda Hikari doesn’t believe it when I talk about it, alas!"

"The more you think like that, the more you shouldn’t stay inside, you’ve gone three days without sleep, I couldn’t convince you to listen. Why are you so stubborn?" Feng Qing angrily slapped her, "Tell me, what if something happens?"

"I can’t let my presence trouble the entire team. During this period, besides us, there are many undercover protection personnel, there won’t be any trouble." Luo Ye comfortingly patted her, "Besides, even if someone breaks in, you’re guarding outside, what’s there to fear?"

"What if they release poisonous insects or snakes?"

Luo Ye patted her pocket, "Rest assured, I have poison-insect snake repellent, and besides, I’m the Nine-Life Cat, anyone who schemes against me will definitely face trouble themselves!"
