Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1714: Not So Easy to Leave

Once everyone else had left.

Only Zhong Siquan and the two, Li Dagang and Wang Yang, were left.

Zhong Siquan looked at Tang Yuxin with a smug face and asked with a cold sneer, "So, Tang Yuxin, do you have anything else to say?"

"You liar!"

Tang Yuxin bit down on her pearly teeth and said coldly.

"Hey, how can you say it like that? I’m not a liar. It’s just that everyone is willing to believe me. You didn’t lie, true, but why is it that no one believes you?"

Zhong Siquan said, his face full of pride.

"Because they were all tricked by you!"

Tang Yuxin glared viciously at Zhong Siquan and said coldly.

"I don’t think ’tricked’ is the right word. They’re willing to believe me, so I just say things that make them believe. That’s not called lying, that’s called the art of controlling people."

Zhong Siquan grinned as he spoke.

"Young Master Zhong is mighty. Your eloquence just now was amazing. You really are born to be a leader!"

Wang Yang hurriedly flattered him.

"Yeah, everyone totally believed what the boss said just now, and without a shred of doubt. If it were someone else, there’s no way they could’ve pulled that off!"

Li Dagang quickly nodded and chimed in as well.

"Low‑key, low‑key, I was just playing at my usual level."

Zhong Siquan waved his hand. Although he said he was being low‑key, the pride on his face only grew stronger.

"The three of you are definitely going to get what you deserve!"

Tang Yuxin shot the three of them a vicious glare, biting her teeth as she said coldly.

"Oh yeah? Then let karma come quicker. I’m kind of getting impatient waiting."

The corner of Zhong Siquan’s mouth lifted slightly, arrogance written all over his face.

Then he looked at Tang Yuxin and sneered, "But you, Tang Yuxin, you’re in a pretty miserable situation right now. You heard what everyone just said. They’re all extremely hostile to you, and they want me to drive you out of the camp. Tell me, what should I do?"

"You don’t have to drive me out. I’ll leave on my own!"

Tang Yuxin gave Zhong Siquan a sidelong glare, then turned around to leave.

Seeing this.

Zhong Siquan hurriedly stepped in front of her and sneered, "Don’t rush. If you walk out like this, you’re basically walking to your death. Chen Feng is dead now, and all his food is with me. Once you leave the camp, how are you going to survive?"

"That’s none of your business. I’d rather starve to death out there than stay and be humiliated by a despicable bastard like you!"

Tang Yuxin said coldly.

"Huh? How are you talking to my boss? Who gave you the guts? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you!"

Li Dagang rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over to teach Tang Yuxin a lesson.

"Dagang, don’t be rash!"

Zhong Siquan hurriedly stopped Li Dagang, then looked at Tang Yuxin and grinned. "Sorry, my underling doesn’t know how to show pity for a beauty. Hope he didn’t scare you."

"Heh, Zhong Siquan, drop the fake act in front of me. Whatever you’re after, just say it straight."

Tang Yuxin let out a cold laugh, her face full of contempt.

"Nothing big. I just want to give you a chance. If you want to stay, then get on your knees and beg me, and promise that from now on you’ll obey me obediently and stop stirring up trouble. For the sake of us being old classmates, I’ll persuade everyone to accept you and give you enough food to survive. How about it, are you willing?"

Zhong Siquan looked at Tang Yuxin, asking with a face full of smugness.

"Zhong Siquan, stop dreaming. I, Tang Yuxin, would rather starve to death outside than beg you!"

Tang Yuxin said coldly.

With that, she walked around Zhong Siquan, about to leave.

Zhong Siquan watched Tang Yuxin’s back, narrowed his eyes, a chill flashing across his face as he said coldly, "Don’t know what’s good for you, do you. I kindly offered you a way out, and you don’t cherish it. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for getting rough. Dagang, take her down!"

"Yes!"

Li Dagang had already been itching for action. Hearing this, he lunged straight at Tang Yuxin, grabbed her arm, and slammed her down onto the ground.

"Bastard, Zhong Siquan, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Tang Yuxin lifted her head and glared fiercely at Zhong Siquan, asking coldly.

"You just ate so much of my food and want to walk away without paying anything back? Since when is there such a good deal in this world?"

Zhong Siquan said with a cold smile.

Then he directly ordered Li Dagang, "Drag her into my tent and tie up her hands and feet. Tonight, I’m going to give her a good lesson."

"Yes!"

Li Dagang nodded, then grinned wickedly as he dragged Tang Yuxin, forcibly hauling her toward Zhong Siquan’s tent.

"Let go of me, bastard, let go of me!"

Tang Yuxin struggled desperately.

But she was just an ordinary girl.

And Li Dagang was built like an ox.

So she was no match for him at all.

No matter how violently she struggled, she was still forcibly dragged into Zhong Siquan’s tent by Li Dagang.

Seeing this.

Wang Yang frowned and looked at Zhong Siquan, asking doubtfully, "Young Master Zhong, tonight you’re going to...?"

"Tonight I’m going to have a good talk with her."

The corner of Zhong Siquan’s mouth hooked up as he let out a wicked grin.

"But haven’t you always liked Lin Mengyao? How come you’re making a move on Tang Yuxin now?"

Wang Yang asked, puzzled.

"Fuck, of course I know I like Lin Mengyao. But she’s dead, right? Didn’t even leave a corpse for me. I can only settle for Tang Yuxin. Luckily, she was also a campus belle at our school. Her looks are on par with Lin Mengyao’s. I guess that’s some consolation for my wounded soul."

Zhong Siquan said.

"Then let me congratulate Young Master Zhong in advance. Hope you have a delightful talk tonight!"

Wang Yang clasped his fists, his face full of sycophantic flattery.

"Hahaha, I definitely will. Go on, make preparations. Make tonight’s dinner a good one, nice and lavish. Let everyone have a big feast and really feel my benevolence. That way they’ll be even more loyal to me."

Zhong Siquan grinned and waved his hand as he gave the order.

"Yes!"

Wang Yang nodded, then hurried off to get things ready...

Night was about to fall.

Inside the cave.

With no bonfire anymore.

The whole cave was pitch‑black, eerie and freezing cold.

Sun Xiaoli curled up in a corner, her whole body trembling.

Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao had fallen off the cliff and died.

Tang Yuxin was missing.

As for her, she had no idea where she should go.

She could only hide in this cave that had once made her feel warmth and safety.

Although this place was no longer anything like it had been.

At the very least, it still gave her a bit of a sense of security.

But if this went on.

She wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

Because counting today, she hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for two days.

For someone as delicate as her, her consciousness was already starting to blur...
