Lei Yuanhe suddenly discovered this beautiful young maid and, on a whim, pulled her into Concubine Liu’s room. While sweet-talking her about becoming a concubine, he began fondling her.
Yu Xin, barely understanding matters between men and women, knew something was wrong. She deeply disliked Lei Yuanhe’s rough handling but was powerless against a grown man’s strength. Crying, she begged him to stop, but Lei Yuanhe paid no attention to her wishes and forcefully tore open her clothes.
The rest of the passage describes the traumatic assault and the subsequent aftermath.
She was originally the favored third young lady of the Hou mansion, who suddenly fell to the status of a lowly maid in another household. It took her a long time to adapt. At least she had a sister with her. No matter how hard the work was during the day, she always had something to look forward to – being able to chat with her sister before going to bed.
She thought this life would continue, but today she suddenly faced disaster. On her way back, all she could think was how to die without too much pain. However, when questioned by a woman, she was startled and only thought about hiding to keep what happened a secret.
She originally thought these days would continue like this, but today she suddenly encountered such a disaster. On her way back, Yu Xin had already given up hope. The only thought on her mind was how to die without too much pain. But when that woman asked her a question, she was startled and only wanted to hide and prevent anyone from knowing what had just happened.
Bo Shi said: “More or less. This mission will be a bit tricky, but it shouldn’t take too long to complete. Go and provide support first, and I’ll send you back to the original time point after the mission is done, without delaying your affairs.” Then he transmitted the mission briefing and subsequent developments directly to her mind.
This mission requires her to travel back in time to a southern city to stop a drug transaction and capture the drug trafficking group’s leader. This was originally the police’s responsibility, but the local high-ranking police were corrupt, colluding with the underworld. Not only did they fail to prevent drug transactions, but they also participated in them, extracting a large percentage of transaction profits and even dispersing and protecting their competitors from arrest, acting as an umbrella for the drug trafficking group. Therefore, capturing these corrupt police officers was also one of the mission objectives.
Yu Yi still hesitated slightly, but then heard Bo Shi say: “Consider it a favor to me.”
Yu Yi sighed silently. Bo Shi was her benefactor. If not for Bo Shi, she would have died, and if not dead, she would have been left in the brothel, with a fate even more tragic than Yu Xin’s. Although she wanted to kill that beast immediately, she decided to complete Bo Shi’s mission first.
Having made her decision, she nodded, “Very well, I accept this mission.”
In the blink of an eye, she arrived in a warm place.
During the crossing, Yu Yi habitually closed her eyes to avoid feeling dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an abandoned factory.
The factory had steel walkways and iron bars welded together, suspended about three or four stories high. She was standing on the walkway on the west side, able to look down through the perforated path at the massive steel machinery below. When she turned back, she saw a man standing beside her, looking surprised: “Yu Yi? Why did Bo Shi send you?”
Yu Yi curiously examined the man. He looked to be around 25-26 years old, with clean, neat, short black hair. His features weren’t particularly striking, but his eyes were very clear, looking spirited. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, giving the impression he was always smiling.
This person made her feel comfortable. But she had never seen him before, so why was he speaking to her like an acquaintance?
However, since Yu Xin was in danger, I had no choice but to take it on. You should have prepared better for this operation instead of underestimating the situation!”
Meng Qing remained calm, his eyes narrowing slightly. “I understand your frustration, but we need to focus on the task at hand. This is bigger than just our personal issues.”
Yu Yi took a deep breath, forcing herself to refocus. “Fine, what’s the plan?”
Meng Qing explained the strategy, detailing the approach they’d take during the transaction. As they discussed, the tension in the air began to lighten slightly. Both of them were professionals, after all.
The night pressed on, the stakes high, but they were determined to succeed.
It was only because Bo Shi said the situation was urgent that I agreed to come.” But after arriving, she found the factory empty, and they had been talking for quite a while. The current situation didn’t seem urgent at all.
Meng Qing corrected her, “It’s tricky, not urgent. They won’t arrive for another half hour.” He looked her up and down, “Are these clothes suitable for a gunfight?”
Yu Yi only then noticed she was still wearing her original time period’s traditional costume, blushing as she explained, “Bo Shi sent me directly.” Usually, when using her original body for time travel, she would change into appropriate clothing first, but this time Bo Shi said the situation was urgent and sent her immediately, and they had both forgotten about clothing.
Meng Qing asked, “Did you at least wear a bulletproof system?”
Yu Yi glanced around and tried to absorb the gravity of the situation, “Bulletproof system?”
Meng Qing looked at Yu Yi in disbelief. “Bo Shi sent you like this? Does he hate you that much?” Was Bo Shi out of his mind? He seemed to have lost it. Last time, he seemed to care about Yu Yi, but now it didn’t seem so.
Yu Yi defended Bo Shi, “Bo Shi has always taken good care of me.”
Meng Qing explained helplessly, “A bulletproof system protects you from being shot, but a single-person bulletproof system uses battery power, and the force field can’t sustain for long.”
He opened the client, selected a bulletproof system for Yu Yi, and saw that she had also chosen modern, movement-friendly clothing. He transmitted the bulletproof system and clothing program to her, pointing to a small room at the end of the walkway, “You can change there.”
Yu Yi couldn’t help but doubt whether such a small underwear-style tank top and shorts could provide full-body defense. However, looking at Meng Qing, he was only wearing a regular short-sleeved t-shirt and long pants.
This was her first time using the client to change clothes, and the changing environment was drafty, making her somewhat nervous.
Yu Yi pushed open the door and walked over to where Meng Qing was waiting.
Meng Qing was checking his gun and glanced back at Yu Yi, giving her a thumbs-up gesture. Yu Yi was somewhat bothered by his previous dismissive tone and ignored his gesture.
They observed from high above, and the drug dealers had not yet arrived. Meng Qing casually remarked, “Your outfit this time looks much better than during the Republican era. Not bad taste.”
Yu Yi’s response was: “What’s the payment for this mission?”
“Five thousand.”
“I want two-thirds.”
Meng Qing quirked his mouth: “Are you trying to get revenge on me? Remember, I wanted two-thirds last time for a reason.”
Yu Yi said somewhat defiantly: “I have my reasons too.”
Meng Qing paused, then suddenly laughed: “Alright, on the condition that the mission is successful and you actually contribute. Don’t bring up payment if you end up holding me back.”
Yu Yi was annoyed again, angrily saying: “Rest assured, I absolutely won’t hold you back.”
Meng Qing shook his head nonchalantly and asked, “Have you practiced shooting since I taught you last time?”
