Chapter 69: Killing People Isn’t Something That Needs to Be Done Personally

The middle-aged woman, who was the only one who was not injured, looked at Du Yue in fear when she heard her threat. Her body trembled hard. “No! You can’t kill us! No, no, no! The neighbors must have seen us when we went out. If we die, they’ll know that you’re the one who did it. The base will never let you go! Please don’t kill us. As long as you don’t kill us, we promise that we won’t dare to do bad things again, okay? Even though we were blinded by greed, my two sons have become disabled because of you. Isn’t that enough?”

Du Yue looked at her quietly and said in an unmoved tone, “You’re the ones who plotted against me first. You got hurt by my self-defense when you failed to execute your plan, but now you’re making everything sound justifiable, huh?” Was it really true that shameless people were invincible? If it was not for her good quality iron gate, the fact that she was vigilant even when she was sleeping, and her ability to defend herself and subdue them, would they have let her go once they succeeded?

When the time came, would the middle-aged woman say that she deserved it and that she could not blame anyone else?

Du Yue approached the three of them step by step. The middle-aged woman who was sitting on the ground was so frightened that she started screaming. Her two sons, Da Biao and Er Biao, were injured. Their bodies were frozen stiff due to the extremely low temperature, and they could no longer move. At this moment, they could only clench their teeth and use their eyes to intimidate Du Yue, but there was no room for them to resist.

Du Yue walked up to them and used the handle of her dagger to strike the back of their necks, knocking them out. Just as she finished dealing with the three of them, Du Yue sensed a gaze behind her. She turned and looked downstairs.

She saw He Xing standing on the sixth floor and looking up at her. Du Yue raised her brows slightly. When did he return? Before she could ask, He Xing smiled and said, “I’ve been watching since I came back, but I didn’t interfere since I saw that you could handle it yourself.” Du Yue felt very content after hearing He Xing’s confession.

It was true that she would not want others to help her if she could handle it herself. She did not want anyone to judge her or make any decisions for her. However, Du Yue needed He Xing’s help now. “Can you do me a favor? Take the three of them home.” “No problem,” He Xing replied without hesitation.

Du Yue found the key in the middle-aged woman’s pocket and successfully opened the door to their house. The entire house was like a cold storage warehouse. There were almost no daily necessities, let alone furniture. There was still firewood burning on the floor of the living room, but there was not much left. The fire would probably be extinguished in a few minutes.

He Xing helped Du Yue carry the three of them to the fire and left them there. Du Yue reached out to brush the dust off her sleeves and said in a light tone, “Let’s go back too.” He Xing looked at the unconscious mother and sons, then shook his head with a tinge of regret. “Leaving them alive will only bring about more disasters in the future.” If it were him, he would have sent the mother and sons to see the King of h.e.l.l long ago.

Du Yue laughed when she saw He Xing’s regretful expression. The two of them had the same thought. However, He Xing had misunderstood one thing. She had no intention of letting the three of them go. She knew how much strength she had used on them. The three people would be unconscious for at least two to three hours. The firewood in the living room was still burning, but it had lost its temperature. Once the fire went out, the whole house was a veritable ice cellar.

In such an environment, two to three hours was enough to freeze a person to death. If she directly killed them, she would have to find a way to dispose of the corpses. She left them here to fend for themselves. That way, she did not even need to deal with their bodies. When the lease of the house expired, the people from the base would naturally come to take it back. It would not be strange if the three’s bodies were discovered by then.

This would save her a lot of energy. However, Du Yue did not explain her thoughts to He Xing. The two of them left the house and closed the door behind them. On the way to the seventh floor, Du Yue deliberately stopped at the iron gate to observe it.

The quality of the gate was really good. The mother and the two children had been working on it for such a long time, but there were only scratches on the door. Du Yue was very satisfied with the gate. It was indeed worth her spending a lot of money to buy it. It was true that you got what you paid for.

After locking the iron gate, Du Yue planned to go home. When she reached the door, Du Yue suddenly remembered something. She turned around and called out to He Xing, “The temperature is getting lower and lower. Does the base have any countermeasures? Did you hear any inside information?”
