No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy

For a moment, Wan Yi Jun felt that his eyes were playing games with his mind. 

At first he thought it might be some other woman, but when he saw the same lilac dress and loose hair he had seen on Ming Yue when they met for the first time.

Why does she have to be in this wretched streets out of all the places? He shook his head in dismay and gazed in the direction where he saw the girl.

"No, it can't be her." He muttered under his breath and looked at the familiar silhouette that was imprinted in his mind because of obvious reasons.

It seemed like she was hesitating to go inside the building as if she was very much aware of the place she was about to visit. 

At the same time, Lao Yating and the rest of the team who were following their captain, stopped in their tracks when they saw Wan Yi Jun froze at the spot.

"Is everything alright, Captain?" Lao Yating asked the man whose eyes were focused on the entrance of the building next door and gently tapped on Wan Yi Jun's shoulder to gather his attention.

"Yes." Wan Yi Jun replied and turned his gaze towards his team members. Apart from Han Ze Min, the rest of eagle team members have already followed him out of the hostess bar.

"Where is Han Ze Min?"

"Captain Han is checking Jiu Shao's license and the age proof of the workers in the club." Lao Yating honestly replied. No matter how hard Jiu Shao tried to convince that his club was legitimate, Han Ze Min refused to leave without checking the documents to clarify his doubts.

"Get the car and I will be back in a minute," Wan Yi Jun suggested and quickly walked towards the building next door, leaving his team behind.

"Huh, okay. You guys, wait here. I will get the car," Lao Yating nodded and went to take their car that was parked somewhere around the corner.

By the time, Wan Yi Jun crossed the busy street and reached the next door building, someone else had approached the girl. 

"What's the rate for a night?" The man who approached her asked while scanning her top to bottom with lustrous eyes. Even an outsider can figure out that his intentions are not so good to a lonely girl.

"Huh?" Ming Yue pretended that she didn't hear the question and took a step away as if she read his lusty mind just by one look.

However, at the same moment, the man stretched his hand to grab her slender wrist and pulled the girl towards him as if he wanted to drag her inside,

"Wait a minute. I think you have mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the pe-" She tried to explain while struggling to retract her aching arm from the man's tight grip.

"How much is your rate? I will pay double." He said in an agitated voice while tugging Ming Yue towards him.

"No…no…I was waiting for someone…I'm not the same-" Ming Yue was about to refute the man when her black eyes fell on the familiar figure who stood just beside the drunk man, fuming in anger.

"Take your hands off her," Wan Yi Jun coldly ordered the reckless man who was dragging the helpless girl in the direction of the brothel's entrance.

When he heard the forbearing voice, the man shifted his gaze towards Wan Yi Jun who stood like a high and mighty mountain beside him,

The very moment, he sensed that someone else has taken interest in the beauty, the drunk man unknowingly tightened his grip on the girl as if he was not ready to give away the chance. Well, who is dumb enough to leave a enchanting beauty like her?

"She is coming with me, boy. Go and look for someone else." The man snarled and licked his gums while looking at the gorgeous beauty who stood before him. "Come, let's go, dear."

Just as he pulled Ming Yue towards him, Wan Yi Jun grabbed the drunk man's hand with no delay, stopping the other from hurting the girl.

"Take off your hands." Wan Yi Jun repeated once again and forcefully released the girl's frail wrist from the drunk man. Whether it's because of the murderous intent raising from the intruder or heavy grip on his arm, the man decided to leave without fight. Even under the drunken stupor he realized that he could never win against this new guy, so he walked away from the girl while plastering a lewd grin on his face.

"It seems like you are on high demand, girl. I will around here, only. Come when you are done suckin-" 

Even before, he could complete words, a slender palm fell on his face, almost making him stumble onto the ground.

For a moment, Wan Yi Jun couldn't believe what he just saw- Ming Yue slapped the man. 

A girl so thin and frail as a twig has hit a big brawny man and stood as if nothing has happened. The man who fell onto the ground, touched his burning cheek and stared at the girl in disbelief.

It was the first time he got slapped by a woman and even before he could wake from his momentary daze, Ming Yue pulled Wan Yi Jun away from the entrance of the building, somewhere less crowded.

"Ahhh...master Wan...why are you here?" She asked the man who appeared more shocked than the man who got slapped by her.

"I..I.. came looking for someone." Wan Yi Jun replied in a surprised voice while staring at the girl in incredulous disbelief. When he saw that Ming Yue was getting dragged inside a brothel by some lousy man, he couldn't help but meddle in between. However, not in his wildest nightmares, he expected.

He really thought she was a damsel in distress who needs his help, but in reality, she wasn't.

"Here?" Ming Yue raised her eyebrows as if she was judging his decision to visit a brothel,

"No...no...not here, somewhere near, for a case." He honestly replied in a stuttering voice, 

"Oh is that murder in the club? I saw the news, master, are you the one who is investigating it? That's so nice." She attentively nodded and wrapped her arms over her chest, as if she was waiting for Wan Yi Jun to develop their conversation.

"But, miss Ming, why are you here? This places is not safe for women, especially at this time." 

"I came looking for a job." 

"Here?" Wan Yi Jun almost choked upon hearing her words and unknowingly blurted out his worry without any second thoughts, "Half of the buildings in this area are either hostess clubs or brothels. Why do you have to look for work here?" 

"Do I have any other choice, master?" Ming Yue asked with a faint smile when she saw his worried face,  "If I don't get a job, I will be broke in two or three days." 

"But, miss Ming, this job and this place, it is not safe for you." Wan Yi Jun repeated once again. He couldn't believe that she was so coolheaded about working in such a precarious atmosphere.

"There is no place that is safe for a woman. So Don't worry, master." She reassured in an aloof tone as if it was not a big deal for her, "I will manage somehow. After all, I grew up in such a place." 

The very instant, Wan Yi Jun heard her casual statement, an unknown anger burst in his mind as his voice subconsciously changed into a reprimanding tone as he spoke to the girl.

"You came to imperial for a better life, didn't you? There is no need for you to go back to that life. Didn't I tell you to call me when you need any help?"

"Master, I don't think we have such a relationship." Ming Yue politely stated as she stood face to face, Wan Yi Jun who clearly got disappointed by her attitude.

"Stop that crap. I will give you an address, and you go meet that person. He will give you a job." He angrily said while picking out a card from his card.

"Master, you have already given me your number," Ming Yue immediately rejected when she saw him taking out the visiting card,

"It's not the same." He corrected her while scribbling something on the visiting card before hand it over to the girl,

"W international?" Ming Yue read out the name in the visiting card with a confused face and raised her black eyes at the angry young man who stood before her,

"Its a corporate office, go and meet Guan Shu Xian. I'm sure that he will give you a job."

"Master, all I know is to do house chores. And good lord, what can I do in a corporate office without any educational qualifications?" She smilingly asked and stared at Wan Yi Jun without changing her attitude even a little bit,

"I'm happy that you are willing to help me, but I can't accept this, master."

The moment Wan Yi Jun heard her refusal, he let out a sigh and offered an even better option,

"If you can't work there, then come work at my house."
