BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1350 The Widow
The Huo family and the Li family were prosperous not only in the success of their business, but also because of their growing families.
In a village of K Country
As the night grew darker and darker, the village became quieter. Soon, only the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard.
A woman in tight black clothes, with a camera around her neck, slipped along the wall and quickly rushed forward. She had completely integrated herself into the darkness.
Finally, she stopped at the gate of an old yard, where a few men were drinking, eating meat, and talking about disgusting topics.
She quietly went to a corner, tied the rope that hung from her waist to the big tree beside the wall, and began to climb up nimbly.
But... "Woof, woof, woof!" Suddenly, a dog began to bark.
\'Oh, crap!\' She had not expected that a nearby dog would discover her and ruin her plans!
The woman was so frightened when she heard the sound that she almost fell from the wall. As suspected, the noise attracted the attention of the men who were drinking and eating meat inside the yard. They dropped their chopsticks and ran toward the sound.
Her heart thudded in her chest as she grabbed the rope and slid down.
Before the men caught up with her, she retrieved and coiled the rope, and then ran into the safety of the darkness.
"Pike! Someone is over there. Hurry up!"
"Let\'s go!"
The woman ran through the village with ease. At last, she climbed over a low wall and entered a courtyard without being noticed.
The first thing she did after entering her room was to hide her camera in a box. Then she took off her clothes, threw them under the bed, and climbed under the quilt, half-naked.
Barely had she settled her wildly beating heart, a loud crash dispelled the silence in the house. The men had kicked open the front door to the courtyard! A split second later, they were pounding on the door to her room.
"Erma Huo! Open the door!" A man\'s rough voice came from outside.
The woman in the bed scattered her hair, grabbed a nightgown, and put it on. After tying it around her waist, she walked toward the door.
She swung open the door and pretended to stifle a yawn. "Who is it? Oh, it\'s you, Pike.
barked!" Erica explained. Her tone was indifferent as she walked back into her room, found her camera, and locked it in the cabinet.
Tessie sighed, "Well, they have suspected you for a long time. I\'m worried that they will kill you one of these days. You need to lie low for a while!"
"No, I can\'t. We just need some evidence to expose their crimes." Erica shook her head. She couldn\'t give up now. If only she could take a few incriminating photos of them, her mission would be over.
"They have been hiding in this village for more than ten years. With your ability, do you think you can root them out easily? Erica, it\'s not that I underestimate your capabilities. Please understand that I feel this is too dangerous," Tessie tried to rationalize with her. Pike and the others hadn\'t gotten any evidence to prove that there was something suspicious about Erica. Once they had the evidence, they would definitely kill her!
There were at least a thousand people in Pike\'s gang, and they were spread across several nearby villages as well. There would be no way for her to escape them all.
Considering tonight\'s incident, it seemed challenging for Erica to get pictures of them without being found out.
Erica gave her friend a reassuring smile and patted her on the shoulder. "Go back and rest. I won\'t let Pike find any clues."
Tessie had no choice but to return to her room. She knew there was no point in persuading Erica. She had been stubborn and determined ever since her sons were born.
In a basement of a house in the village, regardless of his injuries, Pike reported to a man, "Boss, we still haven\'t found the evidence."
