Chapter 3543 - A New Addition (159)

The owner stopped objecting when he saw the money. He nodded and gave them the keys.

Chu He and the driver shared a room. The hotel rates here were very cheap, but the environment was rather harsh. Pushing the room door open, extremely dilapidated facilities greeted them. There were bullet holes left behind on the walls by submachine guns. It was a scene of devastation.

She locked the door from the inside and walked into the room. Her nose was assaulted by a stench. There was a moldy smell coming from the bed. Chu He sniffed it. It wasn't hard to tell that it was a mixture of blood and sweat that had accumulated over time.

The room had no windows and there was no air circulation, so the moldy smell was strong. The bathroom was even dirtier. However it was better than sleeping outdoors. Chu He threw her bag on the bed, leaned against it and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden movement at the door.

Chu He was always on the alert, so she immediately sensed the strange movement at the door.

The lights in the room were switched on. She opened one eye slightly and saw the door being pushed open. Two heads could be seen moving outside, as if they were sizing up the situation in the room. She pretended to be asleep.

When the two of them saw that she was asleep, they tiptoed in. As the light fell on them, Chu He immediately recognized them as the driver and hotel boss! The two of them spoke in hushed tones.

They knew that Chu He could understand English, so they communicated in their local language. However, they probably did not expect that Chu He, who often went to North Africa, and had a rough understanding of the local language as well.

"This woman looks rich."

"See that backpack?"

It was the driver's voice.

"I saw a lot of food, water, and cash in the pack!"

"How much is she carrying?"

"There will definitely be tens of thousands of USD!"

"Good heavens…"

The boss took a deep breath. "This is really a feast!"

Chu He immediately understood that the driver and the boss knew each other. And not only that, they could be in cahoots!

She thought through the situation thus far. When she arrived, the chauffeur suggested that they should stay overnight at the hotel.

And so, of all places, they ended up here.

Many civilians in North Africa were very poor. Because of the war, they did not have any fresh food reserves. Therefore, there were many violent incidents of Chinese shops being robbed. The driver probably saw that she had money and a lot of food on her, so he had evil intentions.

Chu He remained in the same position. They thought that she had fallen asleep and did not realize that she was actually awake. Hence, they crept closer to the bed and noticed she was resting on her backpack.

They would definitely wake her up if they tried to reach for the backpack.

The two of them exchanged glances. The driver signaled with his eyes and alerted the other man, "Kill her!"

The hotel boss nodded his head and held onto the gun. However, when his gaze fell on Chu He's face, he was shocked to see that her eyes had suddenly opened.

"Ahhhhhh…"

Before he could even let out a cry of surprise, Chu He had already sprung up from the bed. Her legs clamped around his neck and with a kick, she flipped him onto the ground!

Seeing this, the chauffeur reached out to snatch her backpack!

Chu He sensed the movement behind her and swept her cold gaze over. With a spinning kick, she knocked him to the ground with great accuracy!

The two of them did not expect that this seemingly weak and frail woman would actually have such powerful combat skills. They were instantly shocked!
