Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Liu Piaoxue Seeks Support

Seeing Liu Piaoxue knocking on his door in the middle of the night, Ji Yang was somewhat cautious as he eyed her, even glancing outside.

Liu Piaoxue pursed her lips and said, "Don’t worry, there’s no one else, I came alone."

"Please, come in."

After confirming there was no one else and that everything was safe, Ji Yang let her into his house.

Ji Yang had thought it over. If she had planned something, he seemingly had no better way out. After all, the people here were her people. All he needed was to avoid being caught completely off guard.

Another point was that Ji Yang still had means to resist. Since he had opened up several meridians, he could feel that his strength had increased a lot. Ordinary people were no match for him, and even those like the War King, he could fight. If worst came to worst, he could just run away.

Seeing Ji Yang’s wary demeanor, Liu Piaoxue could only give a bitter smile and said, "County Chief Ji, I mean no harm. I am here to defect to you."

What?

Ji Yang was even more puzzled. In his view, she should be one of Mo Chengguo’s core members. Why suddenly come to defect to him?

Ji Yang didn’t speak; he was quite curious to hear what she had to say.

Liu Piaoxue knew that without explaining some things, Ji Yang wouldn’t trust her. So, she seriously began, "I suppose County Chief Ji doesn’t know much about my situation. Let me start with my circumstances..."

As Liu Piaoxue narrated, Ji Yang got to know about this woman’s background.

Of course, despite hearing her rather unfortunate life story, Ji Yang didn’t just take her word for it. He said, "What you’re saying doesn’t matter. Let’s leave the past in the past."

At this point, Liu Piaoxue took some things out of her bag and said, "I know you don’t trust me much. Here is my betrayal letter."

Betrayal letter?

Ji Yang took the items from her and started examining them.

Upon inspecting them, Ji Yang’s eyes widened. These were all about the gangs controlled by Mo Chengguo. Very detailed, covering all sorts of information.

The more Ji Yang read, the more shocked he became. He hadn’t expected Mo Chengguo’s influence to be far more extensive than he had understood.

Liu Piaoxue continuously watched Ji Yang’s expressions change. Seeing that Ji Yang was not as shocked as she expected, she realized that Ji Yang’s side must already hold some information, which is why he wasn’t so surprised.

Thinking this, Liu Piaoxue felt even more fortunate about her decision to defect to Ji Yang.

The entire gang seemed to control every aspect of Chunshui County. If she was careless, she might very well end up dead here.

Ji Yang looked up at Liu Piaoxue and asked, "Why?"

Liu Piaoxue realized that Ji Yang was beginning to accept her and explained, "As I said earlier about my situation, first, I was not willingly with Mo Chengguo and his people. Secondly, this is an opportunity for me to break free from them. Another important point is that I know, regardless of their power here, compared to the state machinery, they are nothing."

Ji Yang examined her again. After opening several meridians, he felt a bit of sincerity from her. There was nothing malicious emanating from her, so Ji Yang roughly understood that she indeed intended to defect to him.

"County Chief Ji, I know you are different from them. They controlled me, forcing me to help them. But with you, there’s hope in working."

Liu Piaoxue continued.

Ji Yang hesitated internally. This woman could be helpful to him, especially in rapidly advancing situations, but Ji Yang did not know how deeply involved she was in Mo Chengguo’s affairs. If she was too deeply involved or had done something reprehensible, he might not be able to protect her.

Seeing Ji Yang’s concerns, Liu Piaoxue, sharp as ever, quickly said, "County Chief Ji, although I was forced to become Mo Chengguo’s woman, I did not participate in their deeds. The information I provided was obtained secretly, without committing any evil acts. Even if there’s an upper-level investigation, nothing substantial would be found against me. Besides, Mo Chengguo has been involved with many women and is already incapable. In truth... I was hardly ever with him."

Her face turned slightly red as she spoke.

Looking at her blushing, Ji Yang noticed that she seemed even more attractive.

Biting her lip, Liu Piaoxue said, "I know Mo Chengguo’s group is definitely finished. If there’s an investigation, I might have minor issues. If you can protect me, I am willing to be loyal to you from now on, even... even to be your woman."

Ji Yang, seeing that she was about to start undressing, waved his hand and said, "If there are minor issues, I can protect you. For major issues, I can’t do much. Also, these items could count as your merit. They should exempt you from some trouble. Just make sure you cooperate with the relevant authorities when the time comes."

Liu Piaoxue heaved a huge sigh of relief, thinking that things were indeed moving as anticipated. The higher-ups had already started to act. Fortunately, she had acted quickly and should be able to make it through.

"Alright, you can go back now. Someone will contact you later."

Ji Yang, not daring to become too involved with her, stayed cautious of potential traps hidden within this interaction.
