The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 510 - A Way For Escape

The young girl stiffened. She stared at him, stupefied. "What?"

Lu Bojing pursed his lips. "This is the Underworld. A-and now it is even more dangerous because the Mafia King handling it all this time has been defeated," he quickly corrected himself, "O-only for sometime though…Mr. Jiang is not going to stay quiet with this loss. But until things g-get back to normal again, this world and the people here are extremely dangerous."

He saw beads of sweat form on her forehead. He asked, "Didn't you get any idea about them when they threatened you?"

She rubbed her palms together. "Of course, I understood that the debt collectors were really bad, and they could hurt me in some way. That's why I wanted your help to teach them a lesson."

She took a deep breath. "But I…I really didn't know it could be this bad."

Selling my organs or selling me as a sex toy…

Lu Bojing asked, "W-what is your name?"

She slightly widened her eyes. "Oh yeah. We have been talking for so long, but we didn't even introduce ourselves. I am Yi Zexi."

He nodded. "I am Lu Bojing. How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

His expression was grim. He already figured she might be a teenager, and it was even a more serious issue now. He had heard a lot of disgusting things from Mingshen. One of them was how teenagers and young girls were a popular target as sex slaves to rich clients within China or abroad.

And Yi Zexi was pretty too. He shuddered imagining that she might be the very first target.

"Actually, I heard voices from some other girls from some room."

"Y-yes…this is a whole illegal racket. It won't be just you. They must have kidnapped other girls like you in similar circumstances."

But what scared him the most was that she was at Li Dong's place. A crazy, mad doctor.

What had he planned? Taking out organs? Injecting weird drugs? Testing for some dangerous poison?

Thinking about all those horrifying possibilities brought tears to his eyes. "I am so sorry!"

"..."

"Why are you saying sorry? And how did you even end up here? Aren't you super strong! I don't believe that anybody can overpower you."

Lu Bojing stiffened and stayed quiet. He brought his knees together and curled into a ball.

Yi Zexi was speechless.

Who would believe that this man is so strong looking at him now?

Lu Bojing peeked at him. "W-What will you do now? You are not scared?"

She straightened up. "I am scared. I was being too naive. But getting scared would not make a way for me! I have to think of a way to escape from here!"

His jaw dropped in shock. "E-E-Escape? From here?"

"Yes."

"...From HERE?"

She grimaced and flicked his forehead. Lu Bojing blinked and rubbed the place. "I am here, so of course, I would escape from here, right?"

"What gives you…so much confidence?"

!!!

She stared at him as if he was an alien. "You. Who else?"

Lu Bojing froze in horror. "M-Me? You have confidence in me?"

"Of course! I already saw your valor when you protected your girlfriend from that goon in the supermarket."

"Girlfriend?"

"Yes, the woman with whom you were shopping."

Lu Bojing suddenly felt a sharp tremor run down his spine. He swiftly threw his gaze in all directions as if Wei would appear out of nowhere at any moment, freezing the place.

"S-s-she i-i-is n-n-not m-m-my g-g-girlfriend at all! Don't say that again p-please…" he sobbed hard. "Do y-you want to kill me?"

Yi Zexi speechlessly looked at his reaction. "Why are you even crying more now?"

"She is not my girlfriend," his face turned deathly pale, "She is a-already married…"

And divorced…

"If h-her husband h-heard even a whisper of you assuming her my girlfriend, t-then it will…"

"It will?" She curiously asked.

"It will be hell!" He burst into tears. "He will chop me into pieces and f-feed it to the dogs! He is v-very possessive of her."

Yi Zexi coughed. "I am sorry. I misunderstood."

Lu Bojing furiously nodded. "She…she is like my sister. She also treats me like her brother."

"Oh!" She nodded too. "I see. But the point is that you protected her. So, if we work together, then we can escape too! We just need a plan."

Lu Bojing said, "You cannot escape from here-"

She glared at him. "So do I let these people steal my organs or sell me as a prostitute? Hell no! I am only seventeen. I want to do a lot of things in my life and satisfying some rich, fat man's disgusting sexual fantasies is not one of my agenda. I treasure myself. I am not going to let them ruin my life. Once we escape from here, we can call the cops to rescue the other girls trapped here too!"

The more he heard her words, the more he felt fearful and strange for some reason. He had actually expected her to cry when she realized the seriousness of this situation.

H-How can she plan to escape? From Li Dong?

He urged her. "Y-you don't have to do this. You can use the card, return the money, a-and they might let you go."

Though the possibility now was grim, there was still hope.

"I told you-"

"If it is against your principles, then you can always work to return the money to me l-like installments maybe? I won't be like those debt collectors, so you can take your time in paying it back."

Yi Zexi couldn't find fault with this argument.

"How do I know that you will be free?"

Lu Bojing blinked his teary eyes.

T-that's a good question…Will Boss even bother to save me now that I rebelled against him? I even told Song Lihua about Song Jia's truth. If he comes to know about this, he will throw me away! Boss wouldn't keep me anymore…

Tears streamed out of his eyes.

"My sister…h-her husband will do something for sure. You don't have to worry about me. So I am telling you to simply return their money and leave. And then you can meet her husband or my Boss. Once they know this location, they will immediately send help."

Yi Zexi hesitated. She looked at Lu Bojing who was trembling and crying. Though he was unmatched physically, she still felt strange leaving him all alone.

It would be so easy for these men to bully him…

She thought about it and finally said, "Alright.. I agree."
