My Youth Began With Him

Seeing Riley give in, Huo Mian smiled.

“John.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“Deliver Miss Huo to a safe place and return with the antidotes.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Boss, will the woman run with the antidote…?” Still, many guys didn’t trust Huo Mian.

“No, I trust Miss Huo isn’t a person who would kill more than ten people without a good reason.”

“You sound as if you know me well.” Huo Mian smiled faintly.

“I’m sure the boss wouldn’t love a sinister woman.”

“But two of your guys died because of me…” Huo Mian reminded him.

On the island, Riley had shot a guy who took things into his own hands, and just now, another guy tried to take the antidote from her by force but got himself killed.

“They…asked for it. It’s not your fault, Miss Huo,” Riley said mildly.

It seemed Riley was a man with good sense despite his solemn face and stiff ways.

“Good. Then it’s settled. Since Mr. Riley trusts me, I won’t disappoint you. I will give you the antidotes, but I must leave you guys first…”

“I know.”

“Money?” Huo Mian extended her hand and asked for money from a man for the first time in her life, and this man was a man she had met not long ago.

Riley slowly took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a thick wad of US dollars.

“It’s about 5,000, enough for you to live here for a few days.”

“I know.” Huo Mian took the money without a fuss.

“I can’t give you the passport. If you want, I can help you get an ID.”

“It’s not necessary.”

“But Miss Huo, I must warn you.”

“Go ahead.” Putting the money into her bag, Huo Mian looked up at Riley.

“It’s Australia here but it doesn’t mean it’s safe. You know, some people don’t like Chinese people. You’re a fragile woman, so you must not go out after 6 PM. The local people are nice, but you might be kidnapped by gangs. Be careful.”

“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Riley. I’ll remember it.” Huo Mian smiled.

“John, go with Miss Huo,” Riley ordered.

“Yes, Boss.”

“Then let’s part ways. I hope I’ll never see you again, Mr. Riley.”

That said, Huo Mian turned and left as the guy named John followed her closely.

Looking at Huo Mian’s back, Riley’s eyes became unreadable.

“Boss, shall we have someone follow them?”

“No. Miss Huo is very smart. If she finds that our people are following her, we’ll achieve the opposite effects. Don’t do things rashly before we get the antidotes.”

“Oh. Then we’ll just let her leave?”

“Of course not. After we get the antidote, I’ll send some new guys to catch her. If she gets away, I can’t explain it to the boss when he wakes up.”

Riley originally had planned to deliver the medicine to Huo Siqian and meet him.

He had not expected such a turn of events with his boss still unconscious on the deserted island.

When he wakes up and finds Huo Mian had gone missing, he’d get into a fury and probably kill them all.

After walking for a while, Huo Mian felt tired and turned to look at John, asking, “Are you hungry?”

“Huh?” John looked dumbfounded.
