Ruge, a large, muscular man, who was sitting on a small foldable metal chair in the middle of the warehouse looked up and his face immediately turned dark as his eyes landed on the girl who was coming with them.
Yuge, who was sitting on another foldable metal chair next to a small metal table and cleaning an automatic rifle, smirked at the two idiots who just entered the warehouse. He was thinking, 'Don't you two idiots remember the boss just became a father to a daughter and now hates men who take advantage of girls more than anything.'
Ruge frowned deeply and rubbed the bridge of his nose as if he just got a major headache. "Who's the girl?" His voice was deep and carried a threatening tone of murder.
Zuge who had been waltzing in rather proudly suddenly tripped on his feet when he heard his boss's murderous tone. "Uh... T-tonight's entertainment?" He stuttered and tried3 to form a weak smile.
"Wrong!" Ruge shouted and slammed the metal table with a fist, causing it to crumble into a pile on the floor. "Anyone who touches her will stay waiting for a body bag in the morning when we leave!"
Zuge gulped and his face paled. "I-I was just kidding, Boss." He laughed nervously, then he looked at the Xiao Li and said, "S-she needed a ride to the capital and I was just trying to be a gentleman and help her out, right? Right, babe?" Then he not so stealthily nodded, as if signaling her to agree with him and save him.
However, Xiao Li just gave him a dense look as if she didn't understand him.
"R-right, boss!" The driver, Fange, came to save him. "W-we were just giving her a ride."
Ruge ignored them and walked over to Xiao Li and patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid little girl, I won't let them harm you."
Xiao Li looked up at the man who was towering over her like a small mountain. She wasn't thinking about anything of what they said but was more impressed by how huge this guy was. Then she began to wonder about what he ate to become so huge and what type of problems he might face every day due to his enormous size.
Ruge frowned and looked troubled and guilty looking at the lack of response from the dense-looking girl, thinking they must've scared her into shock which once again infuriated him and he wanted to beat those two idiots up. But in the end he calmed himself down as he didn't want to scare the girl.
After collecting himself for a moment, he sighed heavily and then tried to put on his most friendly-looking face and asked as softly he could, "You must be hungry, I'll get you something to eat." Then he ordered, "Yuge, get her some food! And you two, OUT!"
Zuge and Fange quickly ran out, while Yuge put down his automatic rifle and walked over to a corner where there was a few large black bags. After rummaging around a bit he pulled out a small package of instant noodles. Then he walked over to a small fire where there was a pit of boiling water and poured it into the noddles.
Ruge guided Xiao Li over to one of the chairs and had her sit down, while Yuge came over with the noodles. Ruge, grabbed the noodles and gave it to Xiao Li and said with a voice filled with concern and warmth, "Eat slowly, it's hot."
Xiao Li held the small plastic bowl of noddles in her hands and blew gently on the steaming hot noodles. Then she used the two chopsticks and began eating. She wasn't sure what it would taste like, since she'd never had noodles before, but from the first slirp she immediately fell in love with its spicy flavor and quickly finished it.
Ruge watched her eat and smiled, he thought she was really cute and was missing his own daughter. But then his face suddenly turned serious as he was thinking about what to do with her.
Three days previous, they had robbed a bank and was now staying low at this warehouse waiting for the heat from the police to calm down before they headed off. Zuge and Fange had just taken a drive to check out the situation when they returned with the girl.
His face turned solemn as he finally reached a decision and grabbed a rope and then walked over to Xiao Li who had just finished eating her noodles.
"Don't be scared, I will just tie you up for the night and release you when we leave tomorrow morning."
Waiting for a moment for the girl to respond, in the end he could only sigh at her dense look and tie her up.
The rope was rather long and in the end it looked kind of comically when he finished as her entire torso was wrapped in rope, from the waist to the top of her chest.
"Cops!"
A shout suddenly came from outside and the three men outside ran inside and grabbed their automatic rifles that were scattered around.
Ruge who had just finished tying Xiao Li up, frowned as he stood up, then he calmly and steadily walked over to the black bags. "Guard all exits! How many are they?" He then unzipped a black bag and out a shotgun and an ammunition belt which he wore diagonally across his chest.
"One car!" Fange called out as he and Zhuge took shelter next to the door they came in from.
Ruge pumped the shotgun with a single-hand move and moved over to a dirty window and looked outside. He was just in time to see a black van without a license plate pull over. Then the two front doors and the back doors opened and five cops dressed in black ran out and took cover behind various pieces of scrap outside the warehouse.
"What do we do, boss?" Fange called out.
Ruge frowned as he looked at the cops in black. He knew from the moment he saw the car that these were not ordinary cops, but a squad specifically trained for this type of situation.
He looked over to the girl who was tied up in the chair and his face turned darker as he considered whether they should use her as hostage. If it had been before he became a father he wouldn't have hesitated for a moment.
