As soon as this question was asked, Wen Wan and Zhou Ziheng's breathing suddenly stopped, and they stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

"Um... I... What's wrong with us being here so late at night? Aren't you here too?" Wen Wan was speechless for a moment, but then suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she quickly turned the tables and threw the question back.

Liang Shaoyuan had done nothing wrong, so he had a clear conscience. He explained frankly, "I ate a little too much last night, and the food wasn't digested, making my stomach uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk to help digest the food..."

"Wait!" After he answered truthfully, he realized that Wen Wan hadn't answered his question at all. He quickly got back to the point and asked, "You two haven't told me what you're doing here yet. Why are you being so sneaky and questioning me first?"

"I ate too much and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so I dragged my brother out to help digest the food!" Wen Wan directly used the other party's words to fool him, and she didn't even change them and seemed particularly righteous.

Liang Shaoyuan was speechless after hearing this, with the word "unbelievable" written all over his face.

Are you kidding me? Can a gluttonous reincarnation still eat too much? And even have stomach discomfort? This is just a gimmick, right?

He looked at the two people's calm faces suspiciously, then slowly moved his gaze to the shovel in Wen Wan's hand, pointed at the shovel and asked: "What are you two doing with shovels when you come out for a walk?"

Wen Wan's expression suddenly became a little subtle. She hid the shovel behind her back, looking around with an erratic look, and said, "Uh...we...we..."

She tried to find a reasonable explanation, but she couldn't think of any. No matter what the circumstances, no one would go for a walk with a shovel!

"Actually, we are out on a date." Zhou Ziheng explained calmly, and with just one sentence he pulled Wen Wan out of the embarrassing situation.

But after Wen Wan thought about it carefully, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted on the spot. This reason... is even more ridiculous than going out for a walk. Which young couple would bring a shovel when going out on a date?

Liang Shaoyuan also raised the same question, with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" He asked, "Bringing a shovel on a date? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Wan's heart rose to her throat again. She said that no one would believe this outrageous excuse!

Wen Wan was almost panicking, but Zhou Ziheng remained calm and explained logically, "We were always too busy with work before, and we've never traveled together before. Although this trip is also for work, it can be considered our first time traveling together."

"The scenery of Yunwu Mountain is so beautiful that photos alone are not enough to keep it for ourselves. We decided to dig up some soil from the nearby forest and bring it back home to use for our potted plants. That way, every time we water them, we'll be reminded of our wonderful time here."

"Oh~" Liang Shaoyuan nodded in sudden realization, then praised generously, "Great! This trick is really romantic! I've learned something new. It's true that you never stop learning!"

Wen Wan saw that Liang Shaoyuan had completely believed her, and her heart finally settled down.

This explanation was indeed brilliant, and there was not a single loophole to be found in it. She couldn't help but give Zhou Ziheng an admiring look, as if to say "Well said!"

"Look at you two, just go on a date, just be romantic, why are you hesitant? If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are going to steal!" After Liang Shaoyuan believed their lies, he couldn't help but complain about them.

Isn't it just to be a thief?

After Liang Shaoyuan's words accidentally exposed Wen Wan's thoughts, she couldn't help but feel guilty, but she still said stubbornly: "Aren't we just thinking about you?"

"Your wife died and then another ran away. Being a single father is not easy. If we still show our affection in front of you, how immoral would that be?"

Liang Shaoyuan; “…”

Tie Q, Q is tied up by him! Thank you! He really knows how to thank!

It turns out these two people know that they are immoral! They have been showing affection in front of him many times before!

I've already bombarded him with dog food so many times, why is he acting like a human being today???

"Okay, it's getting late, we won't waste time talking to you, let's go first!" Wen Wan saw that he hadn't said anything, so she took the opportunity to slip away.

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Zhou Ziheng and walked forward quickly, fearing that Liang Shaoyuan would stop her if she stayed for another second.

Liang Shaoyuan didn't stop them. He just reminded them to "be careful" from behind and went back to his room to sleep.

Wen Wan walked with Zhou Ziheng for a while, and only stopped breathlessly after making sure there was no one behind them. "Thank you! I really do know how to thank you! It was so exciting to be a thief for the first time. God really thinks highly of me!"

Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and then asked in confusion, "Why are you so nervous?"

"You know Brother Shaoyuan well. Although he's a bit naive, he would never betray his friends. Even if he knew our true purpose, he would keep it to himself and never reveal a single word to anyone else."

"I trust Brother Liang, but... I don't trust his words!" Wen Wan watched him answer truthfully, then expressed her own thoughts, "Never tell an important matter to someone who can't keep things to himself!"

"For example, someone like Brother Liang has a weak psychological endurance. If he knew we were going to do something this big, he would probably be so scared that he wouldn't dare eat for days and nights, and he would probably dream about it when he went to bed."

"People tend to become nervous when they're stressed. If he accidentally lets something slip, it could be a huge problem! So the best thing to do is not to tell him. The fewer people who know, the better. That way, there won't be any complications!"

"You're right." Zhou Ziheng thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go quickly and act quickly!" Wen Wan put all the unimportant trivial matters behind her and urged Zhou Ziheng to get down to business.

Whatever you do, you must act accordingly. Digging graves is the same as stealing. Since you are ready to be a "thief", you must have a sense of crisis as a thief and make quick decisions to avoid any further complications.

Wen Wan made all the necessary preparations before coming here, and even tried to calculate the location of the grave, but in the end she could only figure out the approximate direction. This might be because she herself was involved in the matter, after all, one's own calculations are generally not very accurate.

So we must speed up the process. If we still haven’t found it by dawn, then all the risks we took today will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan unconsciously quickened her pace, and Zhou Ziheng followed closely beside her.

Soon the two of them went deep into the forest.
