The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 54 - 53 My Husband is the Handsomest

Qu Tong yanked the knife out very roughly, and the blood squirted out.

The two loud cries woke up the others behind them.

However, the young fellow was quiet, watching Qu Tong warily, shrinking back a little.

Qu Tong didn’t bother with him, wiping the blood off the dagger onto Huangmao’s clothes with an unhurried tone.

“I’m asking you, weren’t you quite chatty a moment ago?”

Huangmao didn’t dare to stay silent, his lips trembling as he blurted out everything he could.

After he had spoken, he passed out again from the shock and loss of a bit of blood.

Qu Tong curled her lips and ignored him, thinking what kind of Star Thief is this with such little courage?

From Huangmao’s mouth, she roughly learned:

They were Star Thieves entrenched in this area. On the fringe of the Yaoguang Star System, there was a cluster of small asteroids isolated from the Stellar Network signal, their top-secret protective layer.

Normally, they wouldn’t bother with civilian vessels lacking valuable loot, but not long ago, they discovered an Energy Stone mine on Wasteland Star, so they shifted their target to larger-capacity passing ships and started trafficking people to mine for them.

That evening, news of a Superior Energy Stone uncovered in a mine had reached them. Joyfully, Xiong Lie led his men into the cave to take a look, but then a collapse occurred.

Huangmao had given a bad flattery attempt and had been scolded by Xiong Lie, which spared him from joining them.

Qu Tong glanced at the now-awake young fellow, having no intention to start a conversation.

Out of boredom, she summoned up the Mecha-related courses she had downloaded from the internet to watch.

It was then her stomach started to “gurgle” with hunger.

She remembered she hadn’t eaten since being captured.

There were fruits and prepacked meals inside the Space Button, but there was also another person there.

Qu Tong had no choice but to drink a bottle of lychee-flavored Nutrient Solution, smacked her lips feeling unsatisfied, and popped a lollipop in her mouth.

Without looking back, Qu Tong noticed the young fellow’s gaze fixed on her.

“Do you want some?” Qu Tong tilted her head and politely asked.

The young fellow chose to remain silent.

Qu Tong took that as a yes, unwrapping a lemon-flavored lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth.

The young man was baffled and his mind went blank for a moment.

Qu Tong couldn’t care less about what he was thinking and squatted down to continue her video tutorials.

She didn’t activate privacy mode and directly projected the light screen in the air, forcing the young fellow to watch the basics of Mecha principles along with her.

When Si Yuting arrived, he saw this scene.

The girl squatting on the ground looked up at them, a cheek bulging with a lollipop.

She wore a white chiffon long dress with a bow loosely tied around her waist, trailed by ribbons of uneven length. Her upper body was covered with a beige loose-knit sweater, giving off a gentle and subtle air.

The only problem was that her skirt was a bit dirty with several black marks; her face remained fair, with a small, fresh blood wound on the left and traces of blood that indicated it was a recent injury.

Si Yuting had a good memory, and combining it with the message he had received earlier, he almost recognized Qu Tong at first sight, although she looked a bit different from her photo back then.

Especially when he saw the two hostages behind her, one lying down and the other sitting, particularly the one with the same lollipop in their mouth.

Si Yuting didn’t know what kind of expression to make for a moment.

For some reason, he thought of the content on the note he had received earlier and felt somewhat awkward.

The noise of the aircraft landing was not insignificant. Qu Tong looked up, her gaze meeting with Si Yuting who had just emerged from the cabin.

Uh…

She hadn’t expected Wen You’s superior to be her husband.

She was only startled for a second before she stood up, a sweet and obedient smile appearing on her face as she waved to Si Yuting from a distance.

Just then, Wen You and a burly-looking man emerged from the mine, followed by the bruised and battered Yong Ge along with a few skinny men.

Wen You stepped forward, her golden wig already put away, revealing her natural hair color. Her long, straight hair, which appeared to be black but was actually deep-sea blue, was neatly tied up by Wen You.

“Boss, you’re here. Did you manage to handle that group of people over there? Didn’t let any of them slip through the net, did you?”

“Isn’t that obvious? With the boss in charge, as long as we found their den, where could they possibly escape to?” Xiong Lie dropped the person he was carrying onto the ground and joined in the conversation.

Si Yuting just nodded to Qu Tong then asked Wen You and Xiong Lie, “What about the other people they captured?”

“I’ve already moved everyone else to another mine ahead of time. A total of 51 people, 11 of whom had already lost their lives before I got here, and three who are seriously injured,” Wen You reported, not forgetting to grumble a bit.

“This place is really hard to find, with no signal at all. No wonder those incompetent fools always let people escape. But we gained a lot this time, even found an Energy Stone mine ready for the taking.”

Si Yuting nodded, instructing a few people to stay behind to guard the place; Wen You and Xiong Lie also stayed.

He himself then took a dozen warriors to handle the aftermath.

They didn’t bring many aircraft with them, needing to free up three or four to transport the Star Thieves and the people who had been captured for mining.

Yong Ge was hoisted up like a little chick by Xiong Lie and carried onto his big brother’s aircraft.

“There are two more over here,” Wen You pointed towards Qu Tong’s direction.

Only then did Xiong Lie notice Qu Tong, and his expression immediately turned to anger, “These beasts, they even captured such a young girl!”

“They’re Star Thieves, they don’t have any moral bottom line,” Wen You snorted lightly and stepped towards Qu Tong.

As Wen You approached, she noticed the lollipops in their mouths and her mouth twitched, “Qu Tong, you’re really quite good-natured.”

“Give me one too.”

Qu Tong: “…”

Qu Tong speechlessly took a lollipop from the Space Button and tossed it to her.

Wen You caught it, glanced at it casually, and then tossed it to Xiong Lie, her expression haughty.

“I don’t like vanilla flavor.”

Xiong Lie: ??

Qu Tong: “…”

“You’re spoiled,” Qu Tong said impatiently as she took out another strawberry-flavored one and gave it to her.

Wen You laughed gleefully as she caught it.

With the lollipop in his hand, Xiong Lie looked at the two of them in confusion, “Do you know each other?”

Looking at the young woman’s relaxed demeanor, one would hardly guess she had been captured.

“She’s my sister, Qu Tong,” Wen You introduced her affectionately, resting her hand on Qu Tong’s shoulder.

“Qu Tong?” Xiong Lie looked at Qu Tong, murmuring, “That name sounds familiar.”

“His name is Xiong Lie,” Wen You introduced Xiong Lie in one breath, then shifted her focus to their boss.

“The guy who came down from the black mecha just now is our boss. How about that? Handsome, right? Our boss’s looks are the kind that young ladies really go for.”

“Yeah, my husband is the handsomest!” Qu Tong nodded firmly.

“Qu Tong, you can’t be so infatuated, our boss is married,” Wen You kindly consoled.
