Chapter 2

Leon left the cemetery after paying his respects to Elder Manson, but before he stepped out, he noticed a woman in professional attire standing at the entrance. She had a stunning figure, and Leon wondered why someone like her would be visiting the cemetery in the middle of the night instead of being sound asleep in bed. She wore heavy makeup, causing him to do a double take.

She appeared unhappy and muttered something like, "You broke-ass b*stard."

Usually, Leon would ignore such remarks in the past, knowing that reacting wouldn't benefit him in any way. However, the shock of his wife getting pregnant with someone else's child and being expelled from his own home had left him incredibly upset. He wanted to vent his emotions. In a moment of impulsive hot-headedness, he rushed towards the woman and said, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be offering yourself on the street? How much do you charge for a night? I happen to be in a good mood today!"

Truth be told, Leon didn't have a single cent in his pocket. He trembled slightly as he spoke, worried that she might be a sex worker, in which case he wouldn't have anything to pay her with.

Fortunately, the woman's face turned pale, and she stared at Leon upon hearing his statement.

She seemed like a proper and refined woman.

Leon secretly felt relieved.

Having endured a lot with the Mansons that day and hitting rock bottom, when he saw the woman glaring at him, he added another sentence, "What are you staring at? Didn't you hear my question? I asked how much you charge for a night. What's wrong? Do you expect to be treated with dignity even though you're out here selling yourself? You should know that I used to undergo combat training, so you should be the one thanking me for a good time instead."

That remark only made the woman angrier, and she immediately yelled, "What's your name? Which company do you work for?"

"Why does that matter? Were you planning on coming over to my place?"

Leon wouldn't foolishly disclose personal information to random people.

"How dare you!"

The woman's face reddened with anger, but she had no choice but to run away from Leon, leaving him feeling resentful.

As Leon turned to leave, he saw two suspicious young men sneaking into the cemetery. Each of them was carrying a sack and a rope.

They didn't notice Leon due to the darkness and the obstruction of trees and tombstones.

Any sensible person could see that those two were up to no good.

Leon frowned and surmised that they were after the woman, so he decided to secretly follow them. Sure enough, the beautiful woman who seemed to be waiting in the cemetery was suddenly attacked from behind by the two men and forcefully shoved into a sack. They stuffed a pair of foul-smelling socks into her mouth, rendering her struggles and resistance futile.

Soon, one of the stronger men held the woman down while the other fetched a large, heavy stone and tied it to the sack.

The two of them then lifted the stone and threw it into the river with a loud splash.

Leon's eyes widened!

It was murder!

Leon's first instinct was to flee, but he worried that any noise he made would startle the men. Instead, he hid behind a tombstone and waited until the two men left before cautiously peeking out.

After careful consideration, Leon jumped into the water. He may have been a cowardly man, but the values instilled in him since childhood compelled him to take action rather than watch a helpless woman being killed right before his eyes.

Leon swiftly rescued the woman from the water. Ignoring his soaked and panting state, he immediately untied the sack. Unfortunately, he failed to notice that he was right beside a dagger dropped by one of the men.

Meanwhile, the two young men made their way to the road outside the cemetery, where a luxurious SUV was parked.

As they were about to get into the car and leave, Marco subconsciously reached for his boots.

His expression instantly changed.

"Dang, I dropped my dagger! It must be somewhere by the river... We need to hurry and find it. There might be fingerprints..."

The two men hurriedly returned to the river.

...

When Leon opened the sack, the woman inside was already drenched. Her white top and short, form-fitting skirt clung tightly to her body, accentuating her curves and exquisite figure. Her top revealed faint traces of a black lace bra.

It was a sight to behold!

Leon couldn't help but gulp. He had thought Marilyn was a beautiful woman, but he never expected the woman in front of him to surpass Marilyn's beauty by a mile.

The woman had been submerged in water for a significant time, causing her face to appear pale, and she struggled to breathe. There was nothing Leon could do except place a hand on her ample bosom and perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

To his surprise, her bosom was soft, and her lips were even softer, with a hint of sweetness.

Leon couldn't help but let his imagination wander.

Moments later, Leon successfully revived her.

"Bleagh…"

The woman coughed up several mouthfuls of water. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally regained her senses.

The woman felt a warmth on her lips. When she lifted her head, she saw Leon's hand stroking her leg, prompting her to kick him into the water in anger.

She scolded him, "What do you think you're doing, groping me like that?! You pervert! Disgusting!"

Leon was taken aback and ended up falling into the water.

He thrashed and flailed in the river before managing to climb back onto the shore. At that moment, he looked even more pitiful than before.

Having endured so much suffering that day, Leon glared at the woman without bothering to explain what had just transpired.

"All women are the same! I saved you and gave you mouth-to-mouth, but instead of thanking me, you kicked me into the water! Didn't your parents teach you anything? I think I should punish you on behalf of your father!"

Leon said angrily as he walked toward her. The woman began to panic, trembling all over, including her voice and chest. "Hey, stop fooling around!"

If someone did something to her in such a desolate area and then threw her back into the water, there would be no evidence left to find.

Leon snatched her water-damaged cellphone and car keys. He smashed her phone hard on the ground, destroying it, and tossed the car keys into the water!

"Let's see you act tough now!"

Leon said in anger, "You're ungrateful, aren't you? We're out in the wilderness, and I just broke your phone. How do you plan to survive here? Without your phone, you can't call a taxi, and with your car keys swimming with the fish, you can't even open your car. Do you want to go home? Well, tough luck! I'm leaving you here, where even the grass doesn't grow. It's a cemetery, so I'm sure you'll have plenty of company at night."

Leon then strode off with determined steps.

The woman was terrified, trembling like a leaf as she cried out, "No! Don't! Please, I'm begging you!"
