Under the moonlight

Chapter 120 "Acquaintances"

Huang Meng noticed their conversation. "Them? They're like a persistent ghost."

Taking advantage of Huang Meng's distraction, Li Shuo quickly covered his ears. Seeing Huang Meng's disdainful look towards them, he quickly leaned close to her ear and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"

"Hmph, I don't know anyone who's afraid of death." Huang Meng finished speaking and turned her back to them, preparing to sit down, but was still stopped. "Oh, this beauty is here too, haha, what a coincidence!" He said, walking over to take Huang Meng's hand. He bypassed Zhao Meng and Xu Ao and went straight to Huang Meng's side, so before they could react, he was already opposite Huang Meng. Xu Ao, of course, knew this guy well; he couldn't say anything nice, so he quickly turned around and stared.

He was with him.

Seeing Xu Ao's nervousness, they realized that he must have had some unpleasantness with them, so they quickly stood up and stared at him.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, there might have been some misunderstanding between us before, haha. I'm just an ordinary businessman. I was just scared by them before, haha~"

“You’re no ordinary businessman. An ordinary businessman wouldn’t take advantage of this time to rob someone.” Huang Meng didn’t even glance at him and said coldly.

"Hey, beautiful lady, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'robbery'? We're going to help them." The man's eyes gleamed as he patted the large package beside him.

"You really are something else, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth." Huang Meng looked at him with a disdainful smile and said coldly.

“I said…” He was getting a little impatient, and his face visibly became impatient. Just as he was about to sit down and argue with Huang Meng, Li Shuo plopped down and pushed him aside. “Excuse me, someone’s sitting here.”

The man glanced at Li Shuo, then at the seat on Huang Meng's other side. "Excuse me, my bag is here." Li Shuo quickly swiped his bag around behind Huang Meng and tossed it onto the empty seat on her other side.

Xu Ao and Zhao Meng couldn't help but chuckle to themselves as they watched Li Shuo's actions. This kid is not bad!

The man, having been humiliated by Huang Meng, was resentful and pointed at Li Shuo, saying fiercely, "You just wait, kid." After saying that, he went to find his companions. They sat down on the other side of the aisle. Huang Meng looked over and, sure enough, it was them again. Their leader was squinting and smiling at them, probably plotting something wicked again.

"Hey, I say, these guys don't seem like heinous criminals, how did they offend you?" Li Shuo glanced at them discreetly and asked quietly.

"Back then, when the mercenaries were blocking the airport, they took advantage of the time when Xu Ao and I went out to ask them for supplies. They pretended to be people from the embassy, ​​claiming that we were together, and tried to sneak away from the airport, but they were caught by the mercenaries," Huang Meng said calmly.

"What? Such a petty person?"

“Yes, that’s why sometimes we’re not afraid of those heinous people; we can deal with them head-on. What we’re afraid of are these petty people who cause trouble for us behind our backs, and even drag us down with them so we don’t even know how we died. So, stay away from them.” Huang Meng said to Li Shuo seriously.

"After what just happened, it'll be difficult to get close now!" Li Shuo leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"It's not what you think."

"Oh my god, you scared me! How did you just sit here without saying a word!" Xu Ao suddenly spoke in his ear, startling him. Xu Ao had somehow gotten into the chair behind him and next to him, and Zhao Meng had also moved over.

“Outside, we share the same skin color and nationality, and in other people’s eyes we are one. So no matter what they do, it will affect us, especially you. This time I entered as an embassy staff member, but you did not. You do not have the protection of the embassy. Outside, in the eyes of outsiders, you and them are one. The reason they came to provoke us is because they are not afraid.”

Xu Ao frowned and said calmly that this trip seemed to be much more complicated than he had imagined.

"Yes, so we have to keep a close eye on them. If they recklessly mess with the wrong people, it's inevitable that we'll be implicated." Zhao Meng looked at the several men across from them who were smiling maliciously at them, and a desire to punch them rose in his heart.

Listening to their conversation, Li Shuo understood the seriousness of the situation. If they were targeted by mercenaries, they would inevitably be implicated.

The atmosphere between them instantly became serious with the arrival of those people, and everyone fell silent. On the contrary, the men opposite them acted as if they were going on a trip, eating and drinking as if they didn't care about the plague or the mercenaries at all.

After a while, Xu Ao said calmly, "Time's almost up. Pack your things, check your documents, and get ready to board." The group didn't say much, each checking their belongings and lining up to wait for their flight. Xu Ao stood at the front, followed by Huang Meng, Zhao Meng, and Li Shuo. Only after they were lined up did the men leisurely pack their things and join Li Shuo's group. As they approached, Li Shuo smelled alcohol on them and frowned, cursing his bad luck. He'd finally managed to go on a long trip to see the world, and he'd run into these unlucky guys!

The group boarded the plane smoothly, and it took off quickly. Huang Meng and Li Shuo sat together. Xu Ao originally wanted to pull her to sit with him, but she didn't even look at him and went straight to sit next to Li Shuo. Li Shuo noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was not quite right, so he didn't say anything.

Zhao Meng was in a good mood and squeezed Xu Ao into a seat by the window inside. "Well, there's no room inside." After saying that, he stretched out his long legs, leaned his head back in the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Xu Ao raised an eyebrow at him, wondering who he was mocking for having short legs. But he wasn't in the mood to talk to him about it. "Zhao Meng, let's discuss this."

Ignoring whether the other person was resting with their eyes closed, I said directly to Zhao Meng, "After we arrive, I will go directly to the embassy. Our goods should arrive after us. I will go with the embassy staff to pick them up. They will definitely keep a close watch on them. We need to find a way to spare some of the medicine."

Zhao Meng originally didn't want to pay attention to him, but upon hearing the second half of his sentence, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Why are you going to allocate the medicine?"

“Your friend, Yuri, Lin Hanshuang, Huang Meng knows them, and Nasha’s family should also need it. The reason she went with them is simply because she’s worried about them. Get the medicine to them quickly. Once they’re safe, bring Huang Meng back as soon as possible.” Xu Ao succinctly stated his thoughts, then looked seriously at Zhao Meng.

“Yes, you have a point. But these goods were sent to the embassy under the C country’s name. If those mercenaries want them dead, they won’t let these things leave the embassy.”

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about too. There's another thing, I'm afraid some of the mercenaries might be people we've met before, which would make them even more wary of us."

"What, you're so handsome? I remembered you after only meeting you once?"

“Last time, when we were rescuing people from the factory in the city, we were discovered by mercenaries and taken hostage. One of their leaders escaped. If this plague is their ultimate goal, then he wasn't just running away, but taking the opportunity to leave. So we are very likely to run into them again this time.” Xu Ao frowned as he expressed his concerns.

"Okay, I understand. Then you just shouldn't show up."

"So we need to think of a solution." After Xu Ao finished speaking, Zhao Meng also looked at him.
