Chapter 7: The Fake Heiress's Escape from Marriage - 7 Smoke

Wen Yanyan was preparing to deliver something to Yun Chiyi at the last minute, but when she called her, Yun Chiyi had already left.

She really is outrageous!

He even said he would definitely wait for her!

Yun Chiyi answered the phone on the bumpy mountain road, glancing at the two tall men in the front row.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot about that again."

"I've been too busy lately, please deliver it to my home tomorrow."

"I really don't have time, thank you for your help."

Only after receiving a sullen reply did she hang up the phone with sparkling eyes.

Gong Mufeng turned around and asked, "Xiaoyi, who called you?"

Yun Chiyi said nonchalantly, "A girl who returned lost money."

She leaned forward, creating a fragrant breeze: "How much longer until we arrive?"

They were going to a campsite party, and since Gong Mufeng was in a good mood today, he brought her along too.

Lin Jishen was driving, his eyes calmly fixed on the road ahead: "Ahead."

The car went up a slope, and suddenly balloons, a campfire, drinks, and a group of young people appeared in her field of vision. Her eyes lit up when she saw the bottles of alcohol. She had a task that she hadn't completed yet, so this was just the right time.

After getting out of the car, Lin Jishen lit a cigarette. Sparks illuminated his lips and nose in the night. His expression didn't change much, but beneath his gentle demeanor lay a deeper darkness.

"You guys go ahead, I'll park the car."

Gong Mufeng strode ahead and greeted his friends at the camp.

Yun Chiyi stayed behind, watching him finish his cigarette: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Jishen chuckled, flicking the ash from his cigarette between his long fingers: "Should I be in a good mood?"

Her gaze swept over the bustling party; suits and haute couture gowns fluttered in the night breeze, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"How do you know he'll eventually make a bid?"

He extinguished his cigarette, then tried to light another one, biting his tongue as he tried to light it, but she stopped him. She held the cigarette between her slender, white fingers and her red lips, then took his lighter and lit it herself.

She smiled charmingly: "Their family values ​​their reputation, they would never let someone else buy their things, can't you tell that?"

Before she could even smoke it, Lin Jishen snatched the cigarette back from her mouth. Oh well, she wouldn't have done it anyway.

He looked at her calmly: "You raised the price so that he would offer an even higher price."

Yun Chiyi said with a smile, "He likes to play, so I just play with him. If I hadn't made him happy, he wouldn't have brought me here to play."

Lin Jishen let the mountain wind swallow his cigarette, his eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at her.

"Since you all like excitement, let's think of a way to create some excitement."

Yun Chiyi patted his shoulder sweetly: "Okay."

She stopped, lifted her skirt, and headed towards the camp. The dress suited her perfectly; the black fabric clung to her skin and bones, and her back was flawless, with a shallow groove, like a piece of jade brimming with spiritual energy.

This was the first time her friends at the camp had met her in such a setting; Gong Mufeng never brought her along.

Everyone knew perfectly well that she was just a marriage partner, and that Young Master Gong didn't really like her much. Even while he was married, Gong Mufeng was still constantly having fun.

Some people came up to her and offered her drinks: "Sister-in-law, what a rare guest!"

She casually drank half a glass: "It's a pity we didn't get married, and she's not my girlfriend, so please don't call me that."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Gong Mufeng poured himself a drink and said with a smile, "Don't mention marriage in front of Xiaoyi. She's quite afraid of those two words."

My friend said, "What's there to be afraid of if you marry Young Master Gong? Are you worried about not having enough money to spend?"

She replied with a half-smile, "Who knows, I might be able to lend you some money later."

Gong Mufeng put his arm around her shoulder, and his laughter grew louder, probably from the alcohol: "That's just how he is, don't take it to heart."

Yun Chiyi looked at him, her eyes alluring: "I'm not angry." But she silently avoided Gong Mufeng's touch on her shoulder.

As she spoke, she clinked glasses with him: "If anyone tries to persuade me to drink later, Ah Feng, you must help me out."

Gong Mufeng gladly accepted her request.

After a couple of drinks, Lin Jishen came up and saw that she had already become friends with these people.

They held a lavish party on a pristine mountaintop, where the moonlight shone with the glow of flowing wine.

A rosy blush rose to Yun Chiyi's cheeks. She pressed her fingers to her temples and swayed as she walked up to Lin Jishen: "Jishen, you're late, so you should be punished with a drink, right?"

Lin Jishen looked at her coldly: "You've had too much to drink."

She held up one finger: "About one bottle."

Seeing that she was even happier after drinking too much, Gong Mufeng grinned and helplessly poured more wine into his glass.

The marriage to a wealthy family didn't seem too bad; Yun Chiyi wanted to know more about it.

Yun Chiyi suddenly moved away from Lin Jishen, turned around, and swirled the red wine in her hand, her glass steadily clinking against Gong Mufeng's: "Cheers, thank you for taking me out to play."

Gong Mufeng: "Drink less."

Yun Chiyi shook her head: "No one has put down their cup yet, Ah Feng. I can't let others look down on me."

She could barely stand, and while everyone was raising their glasses in celebration, she laughed and poured the wine at her feet.

Lin Jishen held the glass between his lips. He hadn't drunk much tonight because he didn't have to shield Gong Mufeng from drinking, so he was exceptionally sober.

He wasn't surprised by her little actions.

When the dew started to fall, everyone's spirits dampened, and only a few people remained.

Gong Mufeng was drunk and sat in a chair with his eyes closed, sleeping. Yun Chiyi squatted down beside him and poked his hand with her index finger.

[Task completed.]

[And then?] She fanned her face with her hand.

[The mission report is being submitted to headquarters for review. Host, please check your rewards regularly.]

Yun Chiyi brushed the hair from her forehead. She hadn't drunk much, but she was terribly hot.

She tugged at Lin Jishen's hand, signaling him to come closer.

Lin Jishen approached and stood straight.

"Why don't we find a place to bury him?"

Her clear, bell-like voice suddenly uttered those words, which, combined with the mountain wind, were particularly frightening. Lin Jishen grabbed her arm and lifted her up.

She stumbled and grabbed his arm, saying, "He's the only son of the Gong family. It's really hard to find another opportunity like this. If he disappears tonight, with so many people around, they won't be able to trace it back to us."

Hearing these words, he just thought she was crazy.

Yun Chiyi continued to urge him on, hooking her arm around his shoulder and whispering in his ear, "You're not scared, are you? If you're worried about getting caught, I'll do it, and you keep my secret."

"Didn't you think of such a convenient way?" Her eyes were bright, as if she wasn't discussing a heinous topic.

Lin Jishen pulled her away and said through gritted teeth, "Do you want to hear what you're saying? You'd better watch his life."

He gripped her chin tightly, and the series of movements were swift because he was skilled at them.

"If you come up with any more stupid ideas, or deliberately challenge my bottom line again, it might be you who ends up buried here today."

"The first person I can't stand and want to kill is definitely you."

She's acting strangely and is completely out of control.

He chose her as a puppet, but little did he know that it would backfire.

Yun Chiyi stared straight at him with her clear, dark eyes: "So what are your real plans?"

He became extremely calm in an instant, his eyes vacant as he released his grip, picked up the wine bottle on the table, walked for a few minutes, and sat down on a rock where the shadows of the trees swayed.

The car was parked nearby, but it was quite far from the campsite.

He loosened his tie, took a deep gulp of wine, and Yun Chiyi sat quietly beside him, twirling her ankles as she gazed at the moonlight covering the mountains.

"How much do you know about the Lin family's bankruptcy?"

She didn't look at him, but instead told him the information she had gathered: "The news said that Lin Family Textile sold inferior goods as superior ones, used recycled textile yarn, deceived consumers, and faces huge fines."

He listened silently: "And then?"

Her voice was actually on the softer side, and it was strangely pleasant to hear when she spoke in a gentle tone: "She mistreated the workers and caused all the older female workers to get pneumoconiosis."

Lin Jishen drank from the bottle, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down: "Continue."

Yun Chiyi said, "The above are all the background information. The result was that the Lin couple committed suicide by jumping off a cliff out of fear of punishment. The news report ended there. I don't know what happened after that."

She straightened her expression and asked seriously, "The Lin family should have had a young son at the time, so why wasn't there any news about him?"

Lin Jishen gave a cold laugh, his gaze icy: "You know everything, so why pretend to be confused?"

She looked him straight in the eye: "But the news said that on the day the Lin couple had their accident, a fire burned everything in their house, including the Lin family's ten-year-old eldest son and seven-year-old youngest son."

He lit another cigarette, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile: "And the Lin family's nanny."

He actually made a point of mentioning the nanny.

That very night, the Lin family was destroyed and its members perished within hours.

He didn't continue after that, finishing his drink and weighing the bottle in his hand.

He certainly considered ending the Gong family with a single blow.

But I'm not willing to give up, because that would just let them take advantage of me.

Too much time has passed, the truth has been buried, and everyone has forgotten, which is why he wants to stage an identical show for the Gong family.

[Rewards have been received]

Yun Chiyi never expected that the reward would be announced by Lin Jishen.

By the time she realized what was happening, Lin Jishen had already finished speaking.

[The truth he was so determined to reveal—he never said it at all.]

[Dear host, that's a different price.]

Yun Chiyi spat angrily at the system.

I stayed here for half an hour, and the heat generated by the alcohol had mostly dissipated.

They returned to the camp, intending to drag Gong Mufeng back.

As the two crossed the hillside, they saw a woman in red straddling Gong Mufeng, her soft arms wrapped around his neck as she kissed him deeply. Her disheveled dress swayed precariously as she moved.

Yun Chiyi's eyes widened: "Ah..." You came at the worst possible time.

Gong Mufeng's collar was half open, and his large hand was holding the woman's leg.

Yun Chiyi clicked her tongue: "Even though I'm an imposter, if this kind of thing happens every few days after we get married, I feel like I'm being cuckolded."

A long, slender hand covered Yun Chiyi's eyes and dragged her back a few steps.

"Oh dear, is this a scene that is prohibited from being viewed?"

Lin Jishen took out his phone with one hand to make a call, and saw Gong Mufeng, who was holding a beautiful woman, startled by the ringtone and push away the beautiful woman who continued to approach him.

"Mu Feng, she's asleep in the car. Are you coming or not? I'll come up and pick you up."

Gong Mufeng sobered up considerably, took a deep breath, and quickly buttoned his shirt: "Come over now and wait for me in the car."

Yun Chiyi pushed his hand away, looking at him with misty eyes: "Should I pretend to be asleep?"

Lin Jishen said, "Otherwise what?"
