Chapter 31 The Female Boss
Shen Hu was now truly terrified. He wanted to speak but couldn't, and could only shake his head and wave his hands vigorously.
Yunyi smiled and said, "Both are fine, then I'll choose..." As she spoke, she grabbed his right wrist, but before she could exert any force, she couldn't help but frown.
Shen Hu felt as if all his muscles and bones had been removed, and he went limp. But going limp didn't matter, because a suspicious liquid was dripping from his crotch.
The other three Dragon Leopard Eagle brothers were also dumbfounded; the eldest brother had actually wet himself in fear?
Shen Hu felt ashamed, but losing face was better than losing his life, right? When the woman's hand touched his wrist just now, others might not have noticed, but he felt it. It really hurt, it hurt like hell. He had no doubt that she would break his arm in the next moment.
"You're disgusting." Yunyi threw the person out with disdain and quickly took two steps back.
Just then, Shen Long suddenly attacked Yun Yi from behind.
Meanwhile, Shen Bao and Shen Ying attacked from both sides. The three of them had quickly chosen their positions while Shen Hu wet his pants, and now they could use them. They refused to believe that a little girl could possibly...
As a result, it was as if Yunyi had eyes in the back of her head. Before Shen Long could even get close, the grappling hook flew over from Yunyi's shoulder and wrapped around Shen Long's neck.
The grappling hook's rope transformed into a whip, lashing out twice and striking Shen Bao and Shen Ying, causing them to scream in pain. Finally, as if the rope had eyes, it bound the two men together face to face.
"Don't move." Yun Yi turned to look at Shen Long. "Otherwise, if I don't control the pressure in my hand, your dark little neck..."
Shen Long felt suffocated and finally understood the fear his elder brother had felt earlier. He dared not move and could only beg for mercy: "Heroine, spare my life."
"Heh, I wanted to spare you, but what happened? You tried to kill me. I'm the kind of person who never leaves myself any trouble." Yun Yi curled the corner of her mouth. "If I kill you and then stage the scene, saying it was a martial arts sect that did it, do you think anyone will report it to the authorities and help you find the murderer?"
The men looked conflicted, but they knew they were just thugs, orphans, and had done many hateful things in the past. If they really died, no one would report them to the authorities; some people might even applaud.
Shen Hu was unusually clear-headed at this moment. He took a deep breath to calm his fear, and disregarded his wet pants. He immediately got up and knelt on the ground: "Heroine, please spare our lives. From now on, we will follow your lead. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west."
"Yes, yes." Shen Long hurriedly nodded in agreement. "If you tell us to beat the dog, we would never dare to chase the chicken." If he didn't let go soon, he would really be strangled to death.
Shen Bao and Shen Ying knew they had no chance of winning. Whether it was genuine or not, they couldn't afford to suffer any more losses now: "Heroine, we'll all listen to you. From now on, you'll be our leader."
It feels disgusting to be face-to-face with a man so close, even if he's my own brother.
Yunyi: ...
She hasn't been the leader for many years.
"Heroine...heroine, instead of killing us and getting your hands dirty, why don't you let us do the work for you? Really, we're very capable." Shen Hu was almost crying. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have reached out to steal that purse.
I'd seen her selling medicinal herbs here before, and seeing her selling them again this time, I assumed she was just a village girl from a nearby village. I figured it was no big deal if she stole them, but who knew…
I will never judge people by their appearance again.
“We’ve been working at the bottom of society all day, so at least we’re well-informed. Heroine, please be lenient.”
Yunyi's eyes flashed. Dealing with these people would be easy, but what this person said was right. Rather than getting her hands dirty by dealing with them, it would be better to recruit them for her own use. After all, she needed manpower and connections to survive in this world.
"I can spare you, that's not impossible." Yun Yi glanced at Shen Hu with disdain, "But if you want to work for me, you need to have impeccable character. Do you... have any character at all?"
Shen Hu and his younger brothers exchanged glances, then hurriedly nodded: "Yes, definitely, it's just lost, but we can find it, really."
"Alright then," Yunyi nodded. "Seeing how sincere you are, then I'll..."
"Greetings, Boss." Before Yunyi could finish speaking, Shen Hu took the lead and shouted.
Yunyi's lips twitched.
"Boss, let us go, and we'll kowtow to you too," Shen Bao hurriedly said.
Yunyi flicked the rope, and the grappling hook and rope flew back.
Shen Bao and Shen Ying collapsed to the ground, but they were finally free.
Shen Long let out a sigh of relief, coughed a few times while clutching his neck, and his life was finally saved.
"Although I'm letting you go now," Yun Yi said, putting away the grappling hook and wrapping it around her waist, "it doesn't mean I'll let you go forever."
The four people looked at each other, none of them understanding.
"You want to work for me? Then give me a two-month trial period. If you satisfy me in these two months, then you will truly be mine. But if I don't, I will still take your lives. Don't even think about running away or anything like that, or you'll die a much worse death." As he spoke, he flicked a pill into the mouth of one of them while they were opening their mouths.
All four of them were startled, and then subconsciously swallowed what was in their mouths, and looked at Yunyi in horror.
"This is poison. I need my unique antidote every month. If you don't take the antidote for more than three days, you will suffer from ten thousand ants gnawing at your heart, and you will suffer from a fate worse than death. If you don't take it for more than seven days, you will bleed from all seven orifices. Even the greatest immortals can't cure you."
The faces of the group changed again. They tried to pry it out, and even started to gag, but to no avail. In the end, the four of them gave up struggling with dejected expressions.
"Don't do any more swindling, cheating, bullying, or petty theft." Yunyi glanced at the group. "First, help me find out why the government has reduced the supply of iron materials to the people."
The four men exchanged glances, then resignedly stood up. Since they were powerless to resist, they would obey.
"Where should we look for you, boss, now that we've got the news?"
"I'll come to town every few days, and I'll come find you then." After saying that, Yunyi jumped over the wall and left the courtyard.
"Big Brother?" Several people looked at Shen Hu.
"Get back to work." Shen Hu said as he went inside, his wet pants making him feel terrible.
