Chapter 267: A Generation of Grand Secretaries (29)

So be it, the sooner she dies, the sooner she'll be reborn. It's just that she and Gu Sui still had so many things they hadn't done, it's such a pity. She can only hope that they'll meet again in the next life.

The man smiled, revealing a scar near his eye that made him look particularly fierce.

"I'm quite curious, where did you get all that information about me? For example, how did you know my name is Gao Wei, and which girls I'm targeting?"

As he got closer to Wen Wan, she could even smell the blood on him. He must have killed someone, and now she was the one who couldn't escape.

Wen Wan: "I had someone investigate, after all, I'm in pretty much danger too, aren't I?"

"There's a lot of information that even I don't know, so how do you know? If you answer this question, I'll leave you with a whole body. After all, such a beautiful girl wouldn't be pretty if her body were separated from her body."

Wen Yan: "..."

madman.

“I…” This is from the original story, and Wen Wan had no idea what reasonable reason to give.

"Is it the one upstairs?"

Wen Yan: "???"

"What, the one up there?" Wen Wan looked up at the sky. "I...I don't know what you're talking about."

Wen Wan spoke honestly, but the other party clearly didn't believe her and explained the matter clearly in their own logic, which Wen Wan didn't understand at all.

After the man left, Wen Wan's hands and feet were tied. Wen Wan's whole body was weak, which must have been due to the drug. Wen Wan felt desperate.

At that moment, she wished she were a Mary Sue heroine in a novel, where someone would always come to her rescue.

Several hours later, the man came in.

Then he took out two white steamed buns and held them to Wen Wan's lips. Wen Wan took a bite, which surprised Gao Wei. "Aren't you afraid I'll poison them?"

"Even if I die, I should die well-fed. And it seems you don't want to kill me for now. Are you trying to threaten the Shen family? What does the Shen family want from you?"

"Of course I want to enjoy a beauty like you. It would be a pity to kill you."

"There's nothing I can do about it. It proves this is my last meal, so I have to eat it."

Gao Wei: "..."

He burst into laughter, "You're quite amusing."

"Could I have some water?"

Gao Wei went to fetch water. Wen Wan was extremely curious. This person was a flower thief, but after capturing her, he didn't seem to want to do anything to her. Moreover, in the original story, he had nothing to do with her. How did she suddenly become the one who was captured?

"Why did you arrest me? Are you after the Shen family's money? I am the Shen family's only daughter, and my father will pay to ransom me."

"Are you full? Let's go then."

Where to go?

"Someone in the capital wants to see you."

Wen Wan: "???" What does this mean? This original owner had absolutely no connection to the capital. "What would you do in the capital?"

"I told you, someone wants to see you." With that, he untied the ropes binding Wen Wan's hands and feet. Wen Wan tried to run, but a faint voice sounded behind her, "If you leave this room, you will die bleeding from all seven orifices. You're wrong. I poisoned the steamed bun."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

“If you obediently follow me, you’ll at least have food and drink along the way, and you’ll even be spared. If you’ve thought it through, then put these on.” With that, he threw down a set of pink coarse cloth clothes and a handkerchief. “Cover your face so no one recognizes you. There’s a carriage outside; we’re leaving right away.”

Wen Wan was exasperated. "Can I buy something? I can't handle this hardship."

"You have no choice between life and death and suffering."

"Then you can leave."

Gao Wei went out, and a quarter of an hour later, the door opened. Wen Wan had a veil wrapped around her head, revealing only her eyes. She was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary peasant girl, but she still didn't look like an ordinary peasant girl; she stood out too much.

Gao Wei frowned, then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, wiped it on Wen Wan's face, and then wiped it on her clothes.

Wen Yan: "..."

It's so dirty! Even someone who isn't a germaphobe couldn't stand it.

"You are now my wife, Chen Zhuzhu. This is your identification."

Wen Wan took the small notebook; it even included a fake identity. "Can't we be siblings?"

Gao Wei: "You have no choice."

Wen Yan: "..."

With the system offline, Wen Wan didn't dare gamble on whether she had been poisoned. She could only hope that the system would return quickly, otherwise its host would be doomed.

Although it's called a horse-drawn carriage, it looks like an ordinary oxcart, and it looks incredibly poor.

"Get in the car."

Wen Yan: "..."

Why would someone with such a shabby car spout such domineering CEO talk?

Wen Wan got into the carriage feeling aggrieved, and Gao Wei drove ahead. The neighboring county had already posted many notices looking for Miss Shen. After all, when other women were kidnapped by flower thieves, they were returned the next day, as if it were a dream. Although their reputation was ruined, at least they were still alive. However, Miss Shen was nowhere to be found, and many people felt that Miss Shen was probably in grave danger.

Mr. Shen spent a lot of money searching for him, and notices were posted everywhere.

Wen Wan was very worried about Gu Sui, but she was trapped and had no idea how to contact him.

Subconsciously touching the bracelet on her wrist, Wen Wan thought for a moment, then took the bracelet apart. She quietly threw the small pieces of jade and pearls inside onto the ground every now and then, until only the ruby ​​in the very center remained.

Upon reaching the exit of Linxian County, the constables were checking people coming in and out. Gao Wei instructed, "Perform well, or I'll kill you."

Wen Wan: "Yes, I'll try my best."

The constables stopped the carriage. "What's your name? Where do you live?"

“Gao Ming lives in Chenghua Village. He and his wife came to Lin County to visit relatives. His wife caught a cold, so they hired a horse-drawn carriage.”

He handed over two pieces of identification, saying, "Lift the carriage lid so I can see your face."

"My wife has the flu, and I'm worried about infecting you. Why are you suddenly being checked so strictly? You weren't checked this thoroughly when we arrived."

"Hey, how could it not be? Who told our county to have a notorious womanizer who has ruined several families' daughters? The families are all piling up at the county office for the magistrate to decide, and it's us constables who are suffering the most. Moreover, the Shen family's daughter has been taken away, and I think she's probably in grave danger. It's just a pity that such a beautiful young lady like Miss Shen has lost her life."

The constable lifted the tattered cloth on the carriage, covered his mouth and nose, and peeked inside. It was very dark inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he could tell that it was a plainly dressed peasant woman. She even coughed twice. The constable was afraid of being infected, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go."

"Thank you, Officer."

Gao Wei left in his carriage, and at that moment, an imperial edict from the county magistrate arrived: "The county magistrate says that the flower thief is still in the county. In order to protect the safety of the people in the county, entry and exit from the county will be suspended for the next few days."

So the gate closed right in front of the carriage. Wen Wan was dumbfounded. Even if she didn't have the legendary protagonist's halo, she shouldn't be this unlucky, right? This was just too unfortunate.
