From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 108 So you're the hunter all along?

Louise was strapped to a chair, watching in shock as everything unfolded before her eyes.

Under the warm glow of the orange light bulbs, Ye Xiao's angular face appeared even more handsome, with a touch of exotic charm.

Wearing a dusty navy blue wool coat, with a tall and robust physique, he looked stunning, like a god descending to earth.

Two sudden gunshots did not break Louise's dazed gaze.

She watched as Ye Xiao quickly put the gun away, turned around, and looked down at her.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am, you're safe now."

Louise was momentarily stunned by his gentle words.

Despite her usual strength, after such a terrifying night, her extremely panicked and uneasy heart suddenly found a place to lean on.

Even Ye Chi, who was standing in front of her under the light, became her hero who saved her.

"Can you still stand up? Let's go."

As soon as the ropes behind her back were untied, Louise couldn't help but snuggle into Ye Xiao's arms, pressing herself against his strong chest.

Ye Xiao reached out and gently lifted her soft body into his arms.

At that moment, Louise's head rested on Ye Xiao's arm.

A faint scent of grass and gunpowder captivated her.

This is an unprecedented experience.

Ye Xiao put Louise in the car and comforted her.

"It's dangerous here. I've already called the police. Let them handle this."

"Um."

As Louise let out a soft, sweet cry, Ye Xiao suddenly stepped on the gas, and the BMW M8's 4.4T V8 twin-turbo engine instantly unleashed terrifying power.

The terrifying acceleration of 3.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h instantly gripped Louise's heart, which had just calmed down, and made her jump again.

Louise instinctively grabbed Ye Xiao's arm. Although she knew it wasn't safe, she did feel more at ease.

The wind blew through her long golden hair, and Ye Xiao's warm breath, combined with the rapid release of adrenaline, made her feel flustered and confused.

"Where are we going? Back to Seattle?"

Louise asked softly.

However, before he could finish speaking, a fierce gunshot suddenly rang out from the woods beside him.

They're still chasing them?!

Louise was startled and almost leaned her whole body against Ye Xiao.

The sports car sped along alone in the desolate suburbs. Facing vicious thugs, Ye Xiao drove steadily, leaving the hail of bullets behind him.

At this moment, under the influence of the suspension bridge effect, Louise had completely given her heart to this man from Tokyo University.

She had never thought Ye Xiao was so handsome.

No wonder Rachel likes him.

Perhaps it was also because Ye Chi had rescued her from the robbers last time.

It was as if time had been left behind.

I don't know how long we've been driving in the dark, or even where we've ended up.

With the gas tank almost empty, Ye Xiao finally shook off his pursuers and parked the car at a secluded motel.

The store is small, with only a few cars parked in the parking lot.

It's usually truck drivers, or poor people who only have one truck left, who choose to spend the night here.

Peter, a white teenager working the night shift, sat at the front desk, idly scrolling through his phone, pondering the meaning of his shift.

In such a desolate place, would anyone really stay overnight?

The problem is, the owner of this shop is his aunt Jenny.

If Peter dares to slack off, he'll face more than just a pay cut.

After all, it's easier to exploit relatives.

However, just as Peter was about to find a blind spot in the surveillance cameras to secretly take a nap, a BMW M8 worth $15 suddenly stopped at the door.

WTF?

Peter rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

How could such a luxury car appear in my remote little shop?

This must be a dream, right?

Damn it, it must be from staying up late every night this month.

I must tell Aunt Jenny.

He's still young and doesn't want to die suddenly so early.

Just as Peter was doubting his eyes, the car door opened, and a tall Asian man, with his arm around a petite white woman, slowly walked in.

Peter didn't react for a moment.

Good heavens, is this a dream?

Peter glanced at the incredibly handsome Ye Xiao, then at Louise, who possessed a captivating blend of allure and heroic spirit.

I can't help but wonder if I've been watching too many lowbrow short dramas on TikTok lately, which has made my brain start to go haywire.

Are there any rooms available?

Ye Xiao calmly asked, "Give me two rooms."

Two rooms?

In other words, they are not a couple?

Peter's jealousy had just subsided a little when he heard Louise suddenly speak.

"No, just open one!"

No?

Peter stared at Louise in surprise.

Well, so you're the hunter all along?

"That's not a good idea."

"What's wrong? Put the money away!"

Louise suddenly pulled out a banknote from her pocket and slammed it heavily on the table.

Miss, I think you're really hungry!

Peter was completely dumbfounded, and even his gaze towards Ye Xiao was filled with a mixture of envy and pity.

He's so young and already living off a woman; his life is over!

The rooms at this motel were small, but they were fairly clean.

Ye Xiao took off his coat, draped a blanket over Louise, and then found two bottles of water and handed them to her.

"Have some water to calm down."

His voice was so gentle that Louise blushed with nervousness and hesitated to take the water.

However, Ye Xiao considerately placed the water aside and took two steps back.

"It's alright, Ms. Louise, I know you're very scared right now."

"Don't worry, I'll stay in the corridor, there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Louise lowered her guard as well.

She was wrapped tightly in a blanket, but her beautiful deep blue eyes remained fixed on Ye Xiao beside her.

In the dead of night, the lonely man and woman, who had narrowly escaped death, found themselves alone together, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Louise pursed her lips, feeling a tightness in her chest, and wanted to say something.

But those jumbled thoughts eventually coalesced into a simple sentence.

"Thank you, Ye. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"It's alright, it's what I should do."

Ye Xiao slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his slightly tired face looking exceptionally handsome.

"If you get hurt, Rachel and I will be heartbroken."

Rachel?

Ye Xiao's words were like a thunderclap, suddenly waking Louise from her beautiful dream.

Yes, Ye Xiao is Rachel's lover.

He only came to save her because of Rachel.

But why Rachel?

Louise herself was somewhat surprised when the thought suddenly sprouted in her mind.

She never imagined that one day she would be jealous of her sister because of this.

Unlike the mischievous and innocent Rachel.

From childhood to adulthood, Louise was the most outstanding of the two sisters.

He was admitted to Yale, became a rising star in his party, and then joined the FBI.

Louise lived a life that almost everyone envied.

She thought she had nothing left to pursue.

If he follows the established path, he will inevitably become the next member of parliament in his family, wielding the most prestigious power and becoming one of the leaders of the most powerful nation on Earth.

However, at this moment, in this ordinary, remote motel...

Louise suddenly realized that she genuinely envied her sister Rachel.

Because the man in front of her was almost exactly the powerful hero that Louise had always admired since she was a child.

Gentle and considerate, handsome and brave, loving, and respectful of women.

Aside from not belonging to her, Ye Xiao had almost no flaws.

She just watched quietly, listening to his steady breathing and feeling the faint scent in the air.

Louise suddenly felt her cheeks burning and her heart racing.

The intense infatuation in her eyes was almost overflowing.

She must get what she wants!

Louise's strong possessiveness, cultivated since childhood, led her to make a decision that went against her sisterly bond.

"Ye, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you."

Louise let out a soft cry.

Ye Xiao looked puzzled, but still slowly approached.

However, just as he reached the bedside, Louise suddenly stood up and threw herself into his arms.

The two stood face to face, so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats and breathing.

Louise has taken the bait completely.

Ye Xiao did not refuse and lowered his head slightly.

"Oh, yeah! Yes!"

"ye, slow, f————"

For someone as determined as Louise, ordinary mind control simply has no effect on her.

Throughout the journey, Ye Chi had constantly instilled a sense of crisis in Louise, making her easily open up to him, which allowed him to take advantage of her vulnerability.

Of course, the other door we're entering now leads to an unexpected surprise.

An exceptionally memorable night passed by so quickly.

The next day at noon, Peter, sporting dark circles under his eyes, kept explaining to his aunt that he hadn't been able to sleep at all the night before because of the noise.

He even suspected that Ye Chi, that bastard, might be an alien.

Or what exactly did Louise feed Ye Xiao?

Peter had watched all three adult films without even fast-forwarding, and the noise in the room hadn't stopped.

"Damn it, just keep making this up!"

Aunt Jenny cursed in exasperation, then turned to look at the parking lot: "Who the hell parked this car? Why is it parked in front of the gate?"

"car?"

Peter then remembered the BMW M8 that Ye Xiao had parked at the door.

That's a luxury car worth over 100,000 US dollars!

This is something he never dared to dream of having in his entire life.

"They belong to those two guests from last night."

Peter glanced at them enviously: "You can just let them drive away later."

"Well, it's fine to leave it by the door. This car is really nice; it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"Of course, it's over 100,000 US dollars."

"Whoa!"

Jenny was startled, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

But just then, Peter's phone rang.

"Hello, is this Peter, the motel owner?"

The person on the other end of the phone was the town's sheriff.

Peter looked puzzled and frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Sheriff?"

"Here's the thing, we received a notification last night that a group of vicious thugs were lurking around our town, and we'd like to get some information from you."

"Were any strange people staying at your place last night?"

A strange person?

Peter didn't react at first when he heard that.

But when he looked at the muddy BMW M8, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he even felt his heart stop beating for half a second.

Damn it, he felt like he had just seen this plot on Netflix.

A pair of fugitives, on the run, impulsively make love in a motel in their newly stolen luxury car.

For a moment, Peter felt every pore on his body tremble.

"Peter, Peter, what's wrong?"

Aunt Jenny patted Peter with displeasure, startling him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

"Aunt, please don't speak!"

Peter quickly covered his aunt's mouth and anxiously pleaded into the phone, "Sheriff, they're really here! Please come and save us!"

"them?!"

The sheriff on the other end of the phone was also startled.

He just wanted to give a heads-up, but he never expected that there would actually be something going on.

"We're 20 kilometers south of town on that highway! Please come quickly!"

"Alright, let's set off now. You must keep them calm and focused!"

No sooner had they finished speaking than Peter and Jenny, still shaken, heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

They turned around in alarm and just in time to see Ye Xiao walking out of the room.

"Hey!"

Ye Xiao suddenly greeted him, startling Peter.

"W-what's wrong? Is there something you need?"

"Where are some restaurants around here? I'm hungry."

Are you hungry?

Is he planning to eat people?

For a moment, Peter regretted watching those damn TV shows on Netflix.

Yes, there are!

Aunt Jenny suddenly spoke up: "Young man, there's a restaurant not far away. I'll go get you some takeout."

"Oh, I can't accept this."

"It's alright, this is all part of our hotel's services. Just wait here for a bit."

After saying that, Aunt Jenny turned and left, which startled Peter so much that he quickly grabbed her arm.

"No, Aunt, what will I do if you leave?"

"Silly boy, just hold them off. Once the sheriff arrives, we'll collect the bounty!"

"What time is it? You're still thinking about the bounty?"

Peter was so angry that he even forgot to be afraid.

He couldn't help but wonder if he was his aunt's biological nephew.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

After Jenny left, Ye Xiao, with a stern face, suddenly walked over to Peter's side.

Why do you seem so scared?

"No, it's nothing."

Peter gave a forced, bitter smile, almost bursting into tears from fright.

He was just an unemployed young man from the countryside, and he had never experienced anything like this before.

Just as Peter was nearly paralyzed with fear, a line of police cars finally came into view.

"Help!"

Taking advantage of Ye Xiao's momentary lapse in attention, Peter unleashed an unimaginable speed and rushed to the side of the police car.

Several police officers ran out of the car, kicked him to the ground, and then pointed their guns at Ye Xiao in the hotel.

"Hands up! Surrender!"

Suddenly, the entire hotel became exceptionally lively, with sirens and shouts filling the air.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a little amused as he looked at the police officers who had suddenly gathered in front of him.

So it turns out these people came to arrest me?

Ye Xiao had communicated with the FBI before coming, and first took Louise to a safe place.

We will contact the rioters once the local police have brought them under control.

The town's sheriff did indeed receive a similar request.

Seeing that Ye Xiao was surrounded, he decisively dialed the number he had saved earlier.

However, a scene that puzzled the sheriff unfolded.

He had barely dialed the number for half a second when the phone on the other end of the line, belonging to the "robber," rang!
