Chapter 587: Bandits (16)

This wasn't a difficult task for Gu Weiming, since even his powerful and wealthy father didn't dare to come up the mountain. Thinking of this, Wen Wan felt something was off. Was Liu Qiming being too quiet? Was he really not going to rescue her? How much time had passed and there was still no movement?

Wen Wan had a bad feeling.

And the system, having finally had its fill of revelry, returned.

"Host, do you miss me? I really miss you," the system said.

"Get lost."

The system sensed that its host was very angry, so it began to check what had happened when it left. After seeing the plot where its host was eaten by the male lead, it was both happy, since this was a big development, and also a little angry, similar to the sadness of having its own beloved cabbage stolen.

[Host, what do you think of my previous suggestion? I can fake your pregnancy! I'll submit an application for you to have a child, and there's absolutely no chance of it being discovered.]

"Can I still apply for a child visa?"

[Rest assured, host, this is definitely not a real child, but rather composed of AI data. This is a newly launched service, and many mission participants have already had both a son and a daughter thanks to it.]

Wen Yan: "..."

[Don't you want to have your own child, host? And I guarantee it won't give you away. All I need is your blood and the male lead's blood, and the child created will have both your and his genes. How about it?]

"No, I don't want to raise children."

"Whenever you change your mind, come find me, and I'll definitely pick the cutest baby for you."

Wen Yan: "..."

No, thank you.

...

Wen Wan's premonition came true.

This excessive quiet was indeed not a good thing. The stronghold of the mountain stronghold in the town was attacked again and again, the supplies sent to the stronghold were intercepted, and troops were sent to surround the stronghold, demanding that Gu Weiming hand her over.

The two sides then exchanged fire.

This time, it wasn't just the Chen family; they also borrowed a lot of soldiers. The mountain stronghold's supplies were cut off, and many people were watching Wen Wan closely, clearly implying that if she returned, it might be able to stop this conflict.

Wen Wan didn't want to leave.

"System, do you have a solution?"

System: [Yes, I do. Unless you have a child with the male lead, I won't tell you.]

"Why are you so obsessed with having children? Does your library management bureau require all mission takers to have this?"

System: [My main goal is to have an AI minion to play with, and since you don't need to give birth, I'll handle everything.]

Wen Yan: "..."

[Furthermore, this child can be reused. After this world ends, it will be restored as a data entry, and the world can follow you thereafter.]

Wen Yan: "..."

It's even more terrifying, isn't it? This is not something a normal human being can accept. A child that you can never get rid of, for this lifetime or several lifetimes, no matter when. How terrifying.

"If the mission fails, we'll all die together."

"So you're the one in a hurry. Anyway, I've already died once, so I'm not at a loss."

system:【……】

Ultimately, the system compromised and began monitoring the other party's every move.

But this is useless. How can I give this information to Gu Weiming? If I tell him, I'm afraid I'll be suspected. But if I don't tell him, what's the point?

[The host can go go there himself, right?]

Wen Yan: "..."

Is this system overestimating itself by relying on her alone?

Do I look like Wonder Woman to you?

System: [I can help the host evade everyone's sight and disguise their identity. Then, the host can simply burn the enemy's supplies or poison them, rendering everyone incapable of fighting. Wouldn't that solve the problem?]

Wen Wan: "You can?"

【certainly. 】

Wen Wan naturally agreed, so that night she quietly changed into a black outfit and then quietly left the mountain stronghold while Gu Weiming was asleep.

After that, they slipped away from everyone's sight and went down the mountain.

Then, following the system's instructions, he went straight to the kitchen, gave everyone a three-day diarrhea meal, and then set a fire, burning all their supplies.

As they were preparing to head back, they happened to pass by a tent where people were talking. Wen Wan figured she could hear something useful at this crucial moment, so she went over to investigate.

It turned out to be Chen Heng and his father.

The original owner's fiancé.

Mr. Chen: "Are you sure Liu Qiming will really make things convenient for us?"

Chen Heng: "I'm sure he needs us to save his daughter now. And once we become in-laws, we'll be in the same boat. Things he didn't want to touch before, he'll have to touch now."

"But it would be too unfair for you to marry Liu Zhenyue. She's already been married to a bandit. You'll be the subject of gossip."

Chen Heng: "I am willing to sacrifice for the Chen family. Besides, she used to ignore me. From now on, I will treat her well and make her devoted to me."

After hearing this, Wen Wan felt a chill run down her spine.

This is definitely not love; it's more like an attempt to imprison her.

Moreover, these two wanted Liu Qiming to join them in the opium trade, which was absolutely outrageous. Wen Wan wished she could blow them both up, but the system didn't give her enough time.

[Host, hurry! This invisibility potion only lasts for half an hour. If you're discovered, it'll be troublesome.]

Wen Wan didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly ran away.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but he was running too fast and fell into a ditch, which caused him to bleed.

The system shielded her from pain, and Wen Wan quickly returned to the mountain stronghold. She then began to bandage herself up, applying several layers of bandages before changing into clean clothes and getting into bed. She looked at Gu Weiming, thankfully he was still asleep.

Close your eyes and go to sleep.

Gu Weiming opened his eyes after Wen Wan fell asleep, reached out and unbuttoned Wen Wan's clothes, looking at the wound that was wrapped up rather perfunctorily.

This person has finally given himself away.

However, this slip-up wasn't because she intended to harm him, but because Gu Weiming seemed to have discovered a secret.

He just went out with them.

He wasn't asleep at all; he saw the other person come down the mountain, and then he saw the other person disappear from his sight.

If a living person suddenly disappeared, Gu Weiming would never have believed it before.

But since it happened right before my eyes, I had no choice but to believe it.

He waited for more than half an hour, and the other party reappeared, injured.

Gu Weiming looked at Wen Wan without waking anyone.

"Who exactly are you?" Gu Weiming wondered to himself.

It definitely wasn't Liu Zhenyue. No wonder she tried so hard to stay, no wonder she kept a low profile, and no wonder she didn't do anything that would be detrimental to herself.

If it wasn't the original Liu Zhenyue, then everything makes sense.

Gu Weiming actually felt happy, after all, if she weren't Liu Qiming's daughter, then maybe he could...
