Chapter 589: Bandits (18)

Wen Wan: "I didn't give up the Liu family, but I chose myself. My father loves me, but he loves power, status, and wealth more. There are many things ahead of me. I told him that I don't love Chen Heng, but I couldn't change his mind. Even now, after I have become Gu Weiming's wife, my father still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​marrying me off to the Chen family. So I chose myself and chose to stay. I don't regret it."

This was not the truth, of course; it was Wen Wan who said it to persuade Shu Tong.

She truly didn't want this beautiful young girl to suffer such an unfair fate in the future.

"I will try my best."

"Don't worry, I think Lei Ming is quite reliable. If he can become a better person for you, you will both live a good life. Besides, this is a chaotic world, and a peaceful life is a luxury. Look at me now, I feel that the Chen family's fate is sealed. I heard that Gu Weiming directly arrested Uncle Chen, and the family may go bankrupt in the future. So why should I regret it? Maybe the family you are going to marry into will go bankrupt at any time. Your father will understand sooner or later that it is better to rely on yourself than on others."

Shu Tong: "..."

"Thank you for your kind words. I hope my father will understand soon."

...

The atmosphere in the mountain village was very cheerful.

After all, they made a fortune in arms this time. In this era, weapons are capital, and with these things, they will become even more powerful.

They also arrested Chen De.

That old bastard from the Chen family, he's going to extort a huge sum of money from us.

After that, things went smoothly. They used Chen De to exchange for a huge amount of money and weapons. Chen Heng had no choice but to accept his fate. After all, he couldn't abandon his father. The Chen family was still in the hands of his father, and now that the Chen family was in turmoil, his father had to come back.

Gu Weiming clearly didn't want Chen's father to die, but he couldn't just hand him over easily. In the end, he cut off one of Chen's father's hands and one of his eyes before letting him go.

Chen Heng was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, his own men had been captured, and a large amount of military equipment had been lost. He didn't know how to explain this to Marshal Lin, who had provided them with military support. Just thinking about it gave Chen Heng a headache. He simply didn't know what to do. If things went wrong, the entire Chen family might be ruined.

Everyone was happy.

Everyone was lamenting the stupidity of the Chen family's army; after all, the fact that they all got sick from eating was simply the biggest joke.

However, only Gu Weiming knew that it wasn't because the person had an upset stomach at all, but because someone had done it intentionally.

Wen Wan was unaware that her disguise was already crumbling, and she didn't even notice Gu Weiming's probing attempts for a while afterward.

Gu Weiming conducted an in-depth investigation into Liu Zhenyue's information and then compared her to the Liu Zhenyue who had married him.

They quickly noticed the difference. If it weren't for that face, it wouldn't look like a person's lifestyle at all. Faces can be the same, but habits are not so easy to change.

The other person seemed remarkably unfamiliar with our eating habits, clothing habits, our understanding of many things, and even our understanding of the world.

Gu Weiming quickly realized that the Liu Zhenyue who married him was no longer the original Miss Liu Zhenyue. When did this change begin? It must have been on the way back with her. From Liu Zhenyue's initial strong resistance to her eventual resignation, it was completely illogical. Perhaps at that time, another unfamiliar soul entered her body.

Gu Weiming was very happy.

He didn't know why he felt happy and excited about it.

But he will get what he wants. Now that his identity is confirmed, he has no more scruples. He is determined to keep this little white rabbit, who seems to have wandered in from who knows where, by his side.

And so Wen Wan really did go numb.

Because Gu Weiming suddenly seemed like a different person. Although he had been nice to me before, he was always very distant. All that kindness was superficial, and he never really had much contact with me.

But I don't know when things started to change.

Gu Weiming's distance from her changed. He would actively approach her when they slept at night. Although he didn't sleep with her, he would hug her every night.

His behavior was ambiguous, and he even used his strikingly handsome face to launch attacks against me.

He even shaved off his beard for it.

After that, he became even more handsome.

Wen Wan kept telling herself that he did it on purpose, that he wanted her to fall in love with him, and that he was planning to deliver a fatal blow to her later.

However, for someone who is obsessed with good looks, this is quite a challenge. Wen Wan cannot deny that she is attracted to someone, but she also has to pretend to be indifferent.

The two of them continued to tear at each other.

But a change of events occurred not long after: Liu Qiming fell ill, seriously ill. The butler from the Liu family, who came to the mountain, said, "Miss, the doctor said that the master may not make it. Miss, could you go back and see the master?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Fake.

Wen Wan guessed that, after all, Liu Qiming, that treacherous old man, wouldn't be so easily defeated.

Wen Wan looked at Gu Weiming, and to her surprise, Gu Weiming agreed, "You can go visit your father, I won't stop you."

Wen Yan: "..."

What's going on? This doesn't make sense.

Gu Weiming said, "If my wife doesn't return in three days, I will lead men to storm the Liu family. I hope my father-in-law will be sensible and not try to trap my wife."

Wen Wan was forced to go with the housekeeper to see her father, who was supposed to be seriously ill. But as soon as she entered the house, she found that Liu Qiming, who should have been sick, was perfectly healthy and showed no signs of dying.

"Father, aren't you sick?"

Liu Qiming: "If I didn't use this reason, would you have come back to see me? Zhenyue, what's wrong with you? Why did you stay in the mountain stronghold, staying by Gu Weiming's side?"

Wen Wan: "It's not that I want to stay, it's that I can't leave. He sends people to follow me every day."

"Now that you're back, I won't let him take you away again. I'll send you away immediately."

Wen Wan: "Where to?"

"Do you still remember Yao Fengxian?"

Wen Wan: Who?

"He met you before, and he likes you very much. He can also protect you. Even if Gu Weiming comes, it won't affect you at all. He doesn't mind that you've been married before. It's just that he already has a wife, but she's gentle and won't make things difficult for you. You won't suffer if you marry her."

Wen Yan: "???"

What is this person saying? The system quickly retrieved the person's information. It turned out that he was a warlord with power, money, and troops, and he was already fifty-eight years old this year, which was several years older than her father, Liu Qiming. He actually wanted her to be his concubine? This was outrageous.
