True Love Waits novel Chapter 1351

Half of the man's face was obscured by his face mask. He looked middle-aged, maybe forty years old. He held a woman in his arms. Hearing what Pike said, he kicked him and cursed, "You idiot! You can't even handle one skinny bitch! I'm running low on patience. Bring her here tomorrow. I'll interrogate her myself! I'll show you how it's done!" He believed he had what it took to make her spill the beans.

Pike swallowed his anger and nodded to his boss. "Yes sir!"

After Pike left with his men, the woman in the masked man's arms said the most vicious words in the gentlest voice. "Kirk, it's just two women. Why not just kill them?"

Kirk Qin thought on this for a while, muscles dancing in his face, jaw set in fierce determination. "We'll soon find out if Erma Huo is really a cop. I'll break her, but it might take some *ahem!* doing. If she still won't talk after that, then there's no reason to keep her alive."

Erma's skin was fair and tender, and she was more beautiful than any other woman in the surrounding villages. All men were attracted to her. It was no secret what he wanted to be "doing."

Seeing the lust in his eyes, the woman stopped talking and carefully served him.

At dawn, Erica awoke and decided to put her plan into action. She placed a box in the hole on the ground, covered it with a wooden board, and covered that with a layer of soil. She moved the table on top of all that.

After making sure the box was essentially invisible, she went to the sink to wash her hands, watching the dirt turn to mud and slide down the drain. Finally, she opened the door of her room.

As soon as she did that, she saw a glint of metal flash toward her. Someone was trying to stab her with a dagger. She dodged, and her attacker ducked behind her, intending to slice her throat open. She spun, and dug her elbow into her attacker's ribs.

Then, shaking from adrenaline, she took in what was going on outside her room. There were at least twenty people standing in the old yard. Tessie there too, tied up. Her mouth was covered with tape and she could only make muffled sounds.

Pike laughed wildly, "Good morning, little widow! Your friend is in our hands. I advise you to surrender, or I can't guarantee her safety!"

Erica leaned against the door casually. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Let her go. I'll go with you."

"You wish! No, I'll think we'll keep both of you!" Pike and Erica had been at odds for a long time. He strongly suspected the woman worked for the police. It was just that he couldn't find any evidence of that yet, and she had never been caught red handed.

Erica shook her head. "My friend can't fight. All you're going to do is push her around. So, that's a deal-breaker. If you don't let her go, I won't go with you! Haul her off somewhere, and the only thing left of your yard will be ashes!"

Erica was sure there was something wrong with that yard.

Pike's face darkened. He knew he couldn't allow the place to be destroyed, so he had to order his men, "Let her go!"

The moment Tessie was freed from her bonds, she rushed over to Erica, took her hand and said anxiously, "No, you can't go with them!"

"Don't worry! This isn't my first rodeo. I'll be back soon." Erica whispered, "I've got this. But you need to keep an eye on the box. If I'm not back by tonight, get out. Remember the old place? You can hide there!"

Tessie nodded blankly, "Okay."

Erica followed the crowd out of her house. There were some villagers outside who were watching the fun. A neatly dressed middle-aged man shouted at Pike, "I don't understand you guys. Why are you always watching those two young girls?"

Pike crooked his finger at him. "Got a problem with that? Then come and save her!"

Erica turned around and smiled, waving at the middle-aged man. "Don't worry, Uncle. It doesn't matter. If I die, just bury me in front of Pike's house, so that I can haunt him every night as a ghost."

Her words made Pike's hair stand on end. "Damn it! Why would you even say that? You've got a sick mind, chica. Fuck off and die!"

Erica laughed at him ruthlessly. "You're such a coward! Afraid of a few words?"

Hearing that, Pike raised his fist, intending to strike her from behind. As if she had eyes in her back, Erica suddenly stretched out her right leg, kicked back, and her strike leveled at the man's belly.

He wasn't hit hard, but he put his hands on his stomach and started behaving.
