Chapter 81 Acting Showdown
The murmurs, like those of a demon, fell into Wen Ni's drowsy ears, causing her to have countless chaotic dreams.
In my dream, vibrant colors appeared, like mosaic tiles adhering to the faces of all sorts of people!
She felt dizzy and lost.
My body was gradually losing temperature, as if I were standing naked in the freezing cold!
It's cold, so cold...
As she trembled uncontrollably, she suddenly felt a warm object gently approach her, providing warmth and easing her pain.
Who...who is it?
"Sister, sister? Ah Shui?"
In my ear, the woman's urgent whispers gradually became clearer.
"Ah Shui, please wake up! Please, don't scare me..."
"elder sister……"
Wen Ni slowly opened her eyes and looked at Tang Zi, who was lying by the bed and rubbing her slightly cool arms.
"Ah Shui! You're finally awake! You scared me to death, I thought you..." Tang Zi was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes!
In this situation, Wen Ni is her only support and hope!
"Thought I was dead? Don't worry, I'm still pretty hard to kill."
Wen Ni teased in a hoarse voice, then glanced at the bruises on Tang Zi's lips and neck, "They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"No! It's... the master allowed me to stay here and take care of you!"
Tang Zi gently squeezed Wen Ni's hand, which was on the back of her hand.
Wen Ni lowered her eyes without showing any emotion, understanding dawning on her.
“Ah Shui, Master has been so good to you,” Tang Zi continued. “If Master hadn’t saved us from that bald man, I really don’t know how my sisters and I would have survived…”
“I owe my life to the master’s mercy,” Wen Ni continued.
She even choked up as she wiped her slightly moist eyes!
In reality, she was glancing out of the corner of her eye at the figure who had been eavesdropping outside the door and window.
"The master is a good person, so we'll follow him from now on. Maybe if we make a name for ourselves here, the master will let us leave, right?"
Tang Zi, being a veteran in the entertainment industry, quickly grasped the persona Wen Ni had created for her.
She was in tears, and her acting was far better than that of some actors!
So, does this count as them 'acting on the same stage'?
The person eavesdropping outside the doors and windows stayed for a while, then left, seemingly finding their conversation uninteresting.
Despite leaving, the experienced Wen Ni dared not let her guard down!
Based on her interactions with the master these past few days
A person as sensitive, suspicious, and meticulous as him would never do anything without leaving a backup plan!
Who knows, the person who eavesdropped earlier might have been a decoy to lower their guard; there are definitely more cameras and listening devices installed in this room...
She was absolutely right.
At this very moment, a man in a sharp suit is sitting in front of the monitor screen in the cubicle!
He watched the two women, who called themselves sisters, exchanging pleasantries and thoughtfully rubbed his index finger.
So far, he hasn't found anything incongruous about the words and actions of the Ah Shui sisters.
"Master...you haven't really fallen for this Tang Shui, have you?"
The bald leader, Meng Xin, stood at the back and, after a long pause, finally uttered a sentence.
He had thought that Ah Shui, having suffered so much, would die at the master's hands. Who would have thought that not only did she survive, but the master himself ordered her to be rescued!
Nowadays
The master even managed to get Tang Zi out of trouble, making her serve this Ah Shui specifically...
This is far too abnormal!
This is something that a ruthless and vicious person like the master would never do!
"A heart? I don't have such a thing."
The old man seemed to have heard a joke; he leaned back, his long legs crossed and propped up on the table. "It's just been a long time since I've met such an interesting person..."
"Sir, you must not let your guard down. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; who knows what she might be like..."
That's enough.
The old man's lips curled into a stern expression. "I've never liked others pointing fingers at me when I do things!"
"Yes, it was my fault for being so talkative, please forgive me, sir!" Meng Xin was as humble as an ant in front of him.
"But you're not wrong, women are the least trustworthy." The old man raised a finger and lightly touched his lips. "I've already sent people to investigate Tang Zi."
"I want to see whether Ah Shui is telling the truth or not this time!"
"Your Excellency is wise!" Meng Xin was a master of flattery!
When the gaze returned to the sisters on the screen, their expressions a mix of laughter and tears, the old man's eyes were filled with amusement.
[Ah Shui, those who deceive me will ultimately suffer a fate worse than death!]
the next day
After finishing her morning's work, Wen Ni called Tang Zi, who was also finishing work, to go to the park's canteen for lunch.
They served the food with bowls and chopsticks.
He quickly took a seat at the table next to Fengsui and Xiaoyuan.
The park staff walked back and forth nearby, carefully observing everyone to prevent them from contacting each other in private and planning their escape!
As usual, Xiaoyuan cautiously glanced around, then asked casually, "Brother Feng, how's it going with your online chats with those rich people? Are they easy to fool?"
"Don't even mention it, they stop talking to me after just a few sentences."
The beacon tower looked frustrated and depressed.
He deliberately slowed down his speech and enunciated clearly.
This way, even if the surrounding environment is a bit noisy, Wen Ni can still hear their conversation clearly!
"I can't get any useful information from them, I have no starting point, and I can't keep the conversation going. Why would they trust me and transfer money to me?"
“Really?” Xiaoyuan occasionally chimed in.
"Yes, I feel like they're playing me. They told me they can't even pay their water and electricity bills, they don't have a single penny. What's even more outrageous is that they told me their house was on fire and they even asked me for money! If this continues, I might not be able to scam any more money, and I might get punished again!"
Feng Sui seemed to get more and more agitated as he spoke, and his voice was so loud that the administrator came up and hit him with a stick!
"Shut your mouth while you eat! If you make another sound, I'll break your legs right now!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore!"
Feng Sui immediately lowered his head in submission and buried himself in his food.
In fact, he had already conveyed all the information he wanted to to Wen Ni.
Every word I just said wasn't for nothing!
"I'm stuffed."
"I've finished eating too!"
Wen Ni and Tang Zi stood up together.
Feng Sui glanced up seemingly unintentionally and immediately noticed a used tissue in the bowl Wen Ni was holding.
Paper towel + bowl = paper towel bowl
Tonight, tonight.
Fengsui lowered his head and shoveled down a few more mouthfuls of rice.
On the way out of the cafeteria, Tang Zi carefully looked around and couldn't help but ask Wen Ni, "Weren't you supposed to meet with Feng Sui? But you two haven't even exchanged a single word. What should we do next?"
"Why didn't he say that? Didn't he explain it very clearly?"
"Huh? I didn't hear that..."
"It's okay if you didn't hear me. Just remember, for tonight's operation, you'll follow my instructions in everything!" Wen Ni lowered her voice cautiously.
When Feng Sui mentioned "[Let's not talk anymore]" during dinner, he was actually conveying Captain Lu's order to end the mission as soon as possible and evacuate safely.
Wen Ni really didn't have time to waste any longer!
The master will definitely send someone to investigate her and Tang Zi's identities. At the latest, her colossal lie will be exposed by tomorrow!
At that time, all that awaits them is death!
If she wants to survive, she must strike first!
Tonight's operation is the last and only chance.
"I need to sneak into Meng Xin's office to get something. Can you stall Meng Xin for me?"
"Me?" Tang Zi pointed at herself in astonishment.
