Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 310: Promised Repayment
While Bai Meiyue dealt with the other three guards, Lei Qian killed the other three guards. He was about to chase after Bai Meiyue when he heard the sound of someone whimpering in pain. Startled, he shifted behind the courtyard wall and peeked past the wall. As soon as he looked from behind the wall, he saw two guards dragging a woman.
His eyes flashed with anger when he saw the actions of the two men and he immediately shot after the two. Even though he didn't know who that woman was, he still wanted to save her. However, just as he chased after the woman, Bai Meiyue pulled him back.
She said to him, "What do you think you are doing?"
Just now she heard the whimpering and moaning of a woman and knew that this man would try to save her. She had no idea why Lei Qian was like this, but it was a good thing that she followed her instincts and came to look for him or else he would have truly jumped in to save that woman.

"She—"
"It's not your responsibility," Bai Meiyue said coldly. "Master Lei, you are forgetting that we are not at an abandoned building but in a residential area. Do you even know how many people are guarding this house? I did a calculation."
"There are more than fifty people guarding just this region. Do you really want to put the lives of others at risk because of your heroic actions?" Her eyes flashed with annoyance as she questioned, "Do you think it's fair because I don't think it's alright."
As soon as she finished speaking Lei Qian's face turned red. He lowered his head and apologised, "Sorry, I was not thinking."
"That… much is clear," Bai Meiyue stated in a clipped voice.
However, when she saw that the man was clearly distraught, she then said to him, "It will be better if we help that girl in an indirect way."
If she charged ahead and helped that girl, Bai Meiyue was worried that she would end up creating a loud ruckus. If that happened, Murong Yue would certainly turn alert.
"What do you mean?" Lei Qian glanced at her and questioned.
In response to her question, Bai Meiyue simply smiled.
"Let me go!" Shen Lulu grunted while struggling against the hold of the two men but neither of them let her go. They dragged her to the warehouse where they usually kept their new goods and dumped the woman inside the cold warehouse.
Then, without paying attention to her cries and sobbing, they turned around and walked away.
Shen Lulu, who was thrown inside the warehouse panicked when she saw that those two thugs really left her alone. At the same time, she couldn't understand why these two men captured her and brought her here.
She was just a small survivor but then a beautiful woman brought her to the courtyard and told her that she would raise her like a sister; that was the only reason Shen Lulu came to this place.
The world outside was scary and she didn't know what to do. Thus, when someone stretched out an olive branch in front of her, Shen Lulu took it without thinking too much. Who would have thought that the woman would suddenly change her tune and then throw her in the warehouse!
Just as Shen Lulu was wondering what was going on around her, she heard some voices coming from outside.
"I heard that this woman would soon be sent to the bed of Master Su. Is that true?"
"Why else do you think Madam Murong caught her and brought her here? This woman is also stupid. Did she think that someone would bring her and give her a free meal for no reason?"
"I know, right? But there are always fools like her," another voice jeered. "What do you think? Will Madam Murong let us have a taste of this woman? She is too pretty to let go."
"Haha, you dog. Just wait; it won't take long. Once Master Su is done with her, we will definitely get a chance."
"Will we? That man is such a pervert. I heard that the last time a woman was sent to him, she was killed that very night."
When Shen Lulu heard the words of the men, her expression changed. She now understood what Murong Yue meant by making her —her sister! This was what she meant by those shameless words.
Shen Lulu's eyes turned red as she got to her feet. Though she was a weak woman who had nothing in her hands, she refused to be defiled. Shen Lulu's eyes flashed with a determined glint as she turned on her feet and rushed to the pillar that was at the corner of the warehouse.
But before her head could hit the pillar, someone pulled her back.
"Wow, were you on the track team of your school? How can you be so fast?"
Shen Lulu was stunned when she heard the voice behind her but before she could scream, Bai Meiyue covered her mouth and said to her, "Don't scream. I am here to help you. There is no need for you to be scared of me."
Who knows whether it was Bai Meiyue's determined yet comforting voice or was it her being a woman as well but Shen Lulu no longer struggled but at the same time she didn't lower her guard.
The last time, she did it—She ended up in this trouble!
"What—who are you?" Shen Lulu asked in a whisper.
"You don't need to know that," Bai Meiyue spoke in a low voice. She pointed to the small dog hole that Lei Qian had created in the warehouse and said to Shen Lulu, "All you need to do is run away from here. I will take the matter into my hands from here on."
Shen Lulu parted her lips to speak, but when the sounds of footsteps echoed outside the warehouse, her face turned pale. She looked at Bai Meiyue and then said to her, "I will repay you one day."
