Chapter 76: Worried I’m Lying to You?
Gu Siyu wore a light purple mask that perfectly covered her features. To avoid being recognized by Su Bo, she stood behind Aili and remained silent.
“Perhaps we can examine the goods first.”
Aili spoke, her long hair falling to cover half her face. Coupled with the darkness of night, it was impossible to discern her true appearance.
Su Bo had not given a specific answer before. His sudden declaration of one hundred percent sincerity made Aili unable to help but feel suspicious.
This batch of goods was no ordinary matter; its value was too high, and Aili had to be wary.
Su Bo let out a light chuckle. Two men followed behind him, all dressed in black, exuding an aura of coldness.
“Miss Aili, are you worried I might deceive you?”
As Su Bo finished speaking, Aili replied without any politeness, “Indeed.”
Su Bo: …
Gu Siyu snorted with laughter. Heh, being directly slapped with such awkwardness felt so satisfying…
On the deck, several people stood with graceful bearing. The two men in black stepped forward, lifted a corner, revealing wooden crates…
Aili took a step forward, about to walk over, when her wrist was grabbed.
She turned back, her gaze meeting Gu Siyu’s with suspicion. Why had she suddenly grabbed her?
“Someone’s coming.”
Gu Siyu spoke in a low voice, her tone soft. Although Su Bo was right beside them, he still didn’t recognize the familiar voice.
Aili frowned. She hadn’t noticed anyone approaching at all.
At this time, it was unlikely anyone would be here.
Unless…
Considering a certain possibility, Aili turned back, her sharp eyes meeting Su Bo’s. In the darkness, their four eyes met, creating an unsettling feeling.
Su Bo frowned. He heard footsteps and naturally understood Aili’s gaze was directed at him.
“Go see what’s happening.”
Su Bo spoke to the man behind him, then followed, stepping towards the source of the sound, his movements cautious.
Pat pat pat…
The footsteps grew closer, and closer…
Gu Siyu and Aili stood together, their hearts pounding in their throats, not daring to breathe.
This place was already a heavily guarded area by the state. If they were discovered, it would take a lot of strength to escape.
The reason they chose this location for the transaction was precisely this. Because it was important, it was placed in a dangerous area. From another perspective, with state personnel guarding the perimeter, they could operate safely, provided their objective wasn’t discovered by those people.
“Who’s over there?”
A girl’s voice called out.
Gu Siyu and Aili frowned simultaneously.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but the main point wasn’t that, but rather…
Why was a girl here? The outside was heavily guarded; how could someone easily get in? Even they had scouted the route in advance…
“Huh? I definitely heard a sound, why is no one here?”
The girl muttered to herself.
She was still walking towards Gu Siyu’s position. Gu Siyu retreated, pulling Aili’s hand, and moved towards a place where they could hide behind…
