When everyone met Du Yue’s gaze, they stepped back one after another. All of them had nervous expressions on their faces, afraid that she would misunderstand them for having objections. Du Yue’s gaze continued to sweep behind her until her eyes finally met a man’s. He was a very thin man. He was not tall and was also very sloppy. The moment his eyes met Du Yue’s, he immediately turned around and tried to escape.

Du Yue watched his flustered movements and could not help but sneer. “What’s wrong? Are you someone who dares to do something but dares not admit it? You were the one who stood up for him just now, weren’t you? Are you going to leave your good friend behind so quickly?”

Du Yue opened her mouth slowly. The man was forced to turn around. She was calm and composed, while the man shook his head like a rattle. In the end, he even bent his knees and knelt in front of everyone. “I know I’m wrong. I won’t do it again. I just said that nonsense with my useless mouth. I didn’t mean anything else. You’re a magnanimous person, so please let me go!”

“What’s with the noise? What are you all doing here?” Before the skinny man could finish, he was interrupted by a male voice. The other party’s tone was dignified and attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was a middle-aged man in uniform.

He appeared to be very strong and walked toward the crowd with an unfriendly expression. “Who’s causing trouble? Step out!” When the skinny man saw him, it was as if he had seen his savior. He crawled over to the middle-aged man. “Captain Sha, help! Someone tried to commit murder in public!”

!!

Sha Feng kicked the skinny man to the side. “You’re so flustered. You’ve really lived in vain for so many years. Also, can you not appear in front of me like a beggar? Is the base short of water? Get as far away from me as you can, or you’re going to make me vomit out my meal.”

After being reprimanded, the skinny man was not angry. Instead, he smiled and kept nodding. “I’m sorry, Captain Sha. I’ll definitely clean myself up before appearing in front of you again,” he said. “But my main point now is that you have to stand up for me, a poor man!”

Sha Feng frowned and looked at him. “What’s going on?”

“Look at Ma Liu! He was blinded by this crazy woman and even had his tongue cut off! This is the first base. How dare someone hurt people here? Isn’t this a slap to your face?”

Sha Feng had long since noticed Ma Liu’s miserable state. He swept his gaze around the place. “Who did this? ”

“It’s this crazy woman!” The skinny man immediately jumped out and pointed at Du Yue. “Captain Sha! It’s this crazy woman! Just because she has some martial arts skills and maybe a backer, she actually dares to hurt people at will. She’s too vicious! People like her should be chased out of the first base!”

Sha Feng followed the man’s gaze. In front of him was a young woman with an outstanding figure. She stood upright in the crowd without the slightest fear. When he looked over, she even raised her eyebrows in a relaxed manner. Their eyes met, and Sha Feng took the initiative to ask, “You’re the one who injured him to this point?”

“Yeah.” Du Yue’s tone was indifferent.

“Why did you hurt him like this?”

“Why? Because I don’t want to kill anyone in the base. If not for that, he would be a corpse by now.”

Sha Feng laughed when he heard the answer.

She did not let Ma Liu off because she did not want to kill. This woman was obviously trying to torture Ma Liu. He was blind and had lost his tongue. Ma Liu could only struggle whilst at death’s door for the rest of his days, living a life worse than death. Ma Liu had been injured to this extent by her. Even if it would have been convenient for him to go to the hospital in the past, it would not change the fact that he was blind and mute. Moreover, Ma Liu did not have any connections or backing here. It was impossible for him to get proper treatment.

In such hot weather, it would not take long for his wounds to get infected. At that time, Ma Liu would be able to experience what it meant to be unable to live or die. No wonder people always said not to provoke women.

“Not bad,” Sha Feng mumbled in his heart, but his expression remained normal. “Do you want to join the base’s security team?”

Not only was Du Yue dumbfounded by Sha Feng’s sudden invitation but the surrounding onlookers were also caught by surprise, especially the scrawny man who was counting on Sha Feng to stand up for him. At this moment, his expression was as if he had swallowed a thousand flies. He was extremely displeased.

“Captain Sha, it’s fine if you don’t seek justice for Ma Liu, but how could you let this damned woman join the security team?”

Sha Feng glanced at him coldly. “You’re still lying even now. I was here when the two of them started arguing.” Du Yue’s interest was piqued when she heard Sha Feng’s words.
