MS. TAN IS THE REAL BOSS

Chapter 1556: 1555 is indeed you

Zhuang Liu hadn’t run too far when he suddenly stopped after a few steps and started fighting with the patrol soldiers. The abilities of these patrol soldiers were simply inadequate; they couldn’t hit anyone when shooting from afar, and they couldn’t win in close combat either. They couldn’t get anywhere near Zhuang Liu.

Seeing this, the Patrol Captain then split the remaining men into two groups. One half stayed to capture the injured woman, while he led the other half to pursue the more formidable-looking man.

With only a small group of people left, Tan Rou found it much easier. All she had to do was take down those few patrol soldiers to rescue the captive.

“Miss, could you please squat down!” Tan Rou yelled.

The woman was very nervous. She subconsciously did as Tan Rou asked and suddenly squatted on the ground. Due to her leg injury, she ended up sitting on the ground.

Tan Rou threw a lot of unwanted metal scraps from the alley. They hadn’t noticed these items while searching for a route earlier, but when Tan Rou approached, she saw a mess of dismantled metal pipes stacked in the corner.

She picked some short and light metal pipes and carried them all to the mouth of the alley, then threw them with precision using the aid of the light.

“Help, something hit me!” a patrol soldier shouted.

“Ah, my face is bleeding!” another cried out.

“Not good, my partner was knocked out!” another shouted.

Tan Rou threw all the remaining metal pipes, and while they were dodging them, she quickly rushed out, pulled up the seated woman, lifted her onto her back, and ran to the left.

By the time the group of patrol soldiers realized what had happened, they had already run quite a distance. The patrol soldiers wanted to chase them, but they forgot about all those metal pipes lying on the ground next to them.

Stepping on a metal pipe, they fell to the ground again. One falling caused several others to fall, and thus all the remaining patrol soldiers were put down by the metal pipes used by Tan Rou.

Tan Rou carried the injured woman to a safe place. The woman was very tough; even having been shot in the leg, she didn’t cry out in pain.

“Thank you!” the injured woman gasped, then said, “I will repay you.”

Tan Rou squatted down and used the mini-spotlight from her watch to look at the woman. Her face was painted over, but her features were still recognizable.

“I thought your voice sounded familiar, and it really is you, Miss Mia,” Tan Rou said with a smile.

Mia was startled, then cautiously asked, “Miss Tan Rou, is that you?”

Tan Rou nodded, “Yes, it’s me. And I suppose no one else would be so kind-hearted to rescue you, right?”

Mia said with evident embarrassment, “I’m sorry, for bothering you again.”

“It’s okay,” Tan Rou said, “I was just out to see the moon anyway…” She looked up; there was no moon that night, only stars, “to see the stars.”

Mia didn’t mind Tan Rou’s excuse; she knew Tan Rou must have had some important matter to attend to, to risk venturing out at night.

“How did you happen to be here?” Tan Rou asked curiously, “You, the young lady from Duke Delder’s house, should be resting now, right?”

Mia admitted, “Yes, I should be asleep now, but I’m not. I came out to handle a very important matter.”

“What matter?” Tan Rou asked with a slightly mocking tone, “Coming out to catch some bullets?”

Mia instinctively touched her injured calf, “No, I’m not looking for patrol soldiers. I’m here to find some people.”

“Who?” Tan Rou asked, then felt she was asking too many questions, “Never mind, it’s your own business. I don’t need to know, unless you think you need to tell me.”

“Miss Tan Rou, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but you shouldn’t get involved in dangerous affairs,” Mia said seriously, “This matter concerns the future of our nation. It’s not that I don’t want to reveal it; I just don’t know how to say it. But what I can tell you is that my country is facing a very serious crisis.”

“Oh.” Tan Rou said nonchalantly, “Your country has been in crisis before, and only now you realize this?”
