After giving her the medicine, Su Ying and Gu Sinian stood leisurely to the side, waiting to watch the show.
Are you tired?
Su Ying nodded, admitting she was indeed a little tired. Gu Sinian was about to pull her into his arms when Su Ying suddenly pulled out a chair and sat down without hesitation.
Gu Sinian's little thought of pulling the person into his arms froze, and he awkwardly turned to touch his head.
That's so embarrassing.
It seems like this young wife doesn't really need him anymore now that she has her own space, which is a little disappointing.
Su Ying plopped down on the chair and then asked Gu Sinian, "Do you want a stool?"
The man shook his head. It was already quite rare to find a chair in this desolate wilderness; these two were just a little too much.
"I don't need it. I'm not tired."
"They must be thirsty."
He then took out two glasses of plain water from his storage space and drank them in one gulp.
"Want more?"
"No."
He had already sensed that the man on the ground was showing signs of waking up.
"They'll be waking up soon."
Su Ying immediately put everything that shouldn't belong in the wilderness into her spatial storage.
At that time, in the desolate wilderness, besides the couple, there were six men lying on the ground like corpses.
When they slowly awoke, this was the scene they saw: they were bound together, unable to move, except for their mouths.
"You...you...you...how could things have turned out like this? So many of us surrounded you...how could the three of you have caught us...this is impossible...absolutely impossible..."
"Nothing is impossible. You bunch of good-for-nothings think you can capture our Commander Gu? What a pipe dream you're having."
A chubby man spoke up, "Our boss sent so many people to surround him and capture you alive because he knew how skilled you were... We didn't expect you to be so capable, capturing every single one of us."
The chubby man searched everywhere for the remaining brothers, but only six remained. Gu Sinian had deliberately left this man, who seemed to be the leader, behind, and now it had come in handy; they must know more.
Gu Sinian squatted down and grabbed the man by the neck. "Tell me! Who sent you to arrest us? And who is the mole hiding behind us?"
"Confess now if you don't want to die! I've always had a bad temper!"
Su Ying chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. My husband has always had a bad temper. If you anger him, he'll kick you away. I'm the victim."
When Gu Sinian heard his wife slander him like that, he loosened his grip a little and almost lost his hold on her.
This wife lies without even thinking. He would never dare to abuse her.
He's too busy doting on his wife to possibly kick her away; that's just too outrageous.
The man communicated with his wife through his eyes, unsure of what she was up to.
Su Ying gave him a reassuring look. When you're out and about, you can decide your own identity; it's quite satisfying to spread rumors.
It was just to scare them.
Let them tell the truth.
“Speak! Answer whatever my husband asks, or you’ll be in for a world of hurt.”
The six bound men watched quietly, not daring to betray the person behind them, otherwise their families, wives, and children would certainly not have a peaceful life.
Seeing that they kept their mouths shut and looked like tough guys, Su Ying had no intention of revealing what they had. She took small steps over, pulled Gu Sinian's hand, and took out a handkerchief from somewhere to wipe his hand.
"Honey, you shouldn't be so impulsive. You need to control your fiery temper a bit."
Gu Sinian gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, "What trick are you trying to play now, framing me as a domestic abuser?"
"Isn't this to find out who's behind it all?"
"That can't ruin my reputation."
"Let's wait until we catch that whole bunch of rats. What's a reputation worth anyway?"
That makes sense. What's the value of reputation anyway? As long as your wife is happy, that's all that matters. Try to be more open-minded; there's no hurdle you can't overcome.
"You really intend to come with me to raid their hideout?"
"They've already set their sights on us. If we don't fight back, do you think we'll have a good life?"
Gu Sinian hates this kind of backstabbing and intrigue the most, especially the person hiding not far from him.
It's better to let him fight on the front lines than to investigate some traitor, which is time-consuming and exhausting.
It would be better to just take down their headquarters, and then the person behind them would be exposed.
"I've tried everything, both gentle and forceful, but no one is buying it. When will your stomach pain medicine work?"
"It will happen immediately. Actually, taking medicine with water is even faster. I'm not going to waste a single drop of my water on these bastards."
"It takes effect immediately when it comes into contact with water, and takes about five minutes to take effect without water, since it evaporates."
Su Ying smiled mischievously and held up three thumbs, "Three, two, one."
Gu Sinian really liked Su Ying now. When he first met her, she had a faint sadness on her face, but since they got married, the little girl has regained her bright smile.
If his father-in-law hadn't already instructed the farm in Xinjiang to treat the Xu family of three and the Jiang family of three well, he would have definitely punished them severely.
Now that his father-in-law had vented his anger, he no longer needed to dwell on the past. He should pamper the little girl and help her regain her bright and happy smile.
She's starting to resemble her former self a little bit now, which is great.
He reached out and affectionately patted her head, then looked at the several large men bound hand and foot on the ground.
Watching them crawl on the ground, groaning in pain, Gu Sinian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he looked down at them.
"Speak! Who is behind this?"
All six answered in unison that they didn't know, while the man in the lead, who was trying his best to endure the pain, had a very ferocious expression on his face.
"I don't know. Although I'm the leader, the person who secretly contacted that person on my side wasn't me, it was our boss. We really don't know who that person is."
"Please believe us, you must believe us, we really haven't seen that person..."
Gu Sinian and Su Ying pretended not to hear. The fat man's voice was hoarse, "I really have never met him. I only know that your garrison commander trusts him a lot."
"We really don't know what position it is; you'll have to look it up yourselves."
"Fine. Tell us where you've been hiding, or I'll make you suffer even more than you are now."
The six people had no idea what was wrong with them; their stomachs were suddenly hurting so badly, and they knew the pain would only get worse... They shuddered at the thought...
“We really don’t know anything. We’re just ordinary thugs, just there to make ourselves known to the boss. It’s useless.”
Su Ying snapped her fingers, "That's exactly what I wanted – for your faces to become familiar."
Gu Sinian raised an eyebrow. The moment the little girl made that face, he knew she was up to something naughty again...
