Gu Sinian and Su Ying looked at each other, their eyes meeting in mid-air.
The couple had been married for many years and could tell each other's thoughts with just a glance.
"Can we talk about something?" Su Ying suddenly asked the chubby man.
"Speak freely, you've already fallen to this state, what is there that you can't say? Consider this your last words."
“I’m pregnant, and I have elderly parents and young children to support. If you bring my husband and me here, how will our two children survive?”
"It's...not too heartless for an old man to raise them all by himself, isn't it, brother?"
Su Ying had already consulted her husband; they could use her beauty as a weapon in a pinch.
Otherwise, once they are all arrested, their chances of survival will be slim.
Who knows what awaits her in the unknown territories?
Although Gu Sinian was jealous, his wife had already informed him, so he did not agree.
But think about it carefully... if the young wife really does escape, it might not be such a bad thing.
He could only acquiesce.
His wife has already started, how can he hold her back?
The chubby man pinched his chin, his smile radiating lust, and nudged Gu Sinian with his elbow.
"Look at you. Your wife is preparing to abandon you when disaster strikes."
"Don't talk nonsense, my wife isn't that kind of person."
"What kind of person is she? If she really wants to give up on you, how about you become my underling? It would be a real waste to send someone to their death with your physical condition like this."
The man frowned, his curiosity piqued. "What's hidden in this basement?"
"Want to know?"
"Of course. Now that we're here, let's die knowing the truth before we die."
The chubby leader shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure about that either, but those who are pulled in and are in good physical condition can last for about a month, while those in average physical condition are buried within a few days."
Although he didn't understand what shady things were hidden in the basement, his years of military service and keen observation made him feel that things were not so simple.
Those who dare to do these shady things in the black market basement must have some powerful backing.
"That's really strange?"
"That's right. It's really strange, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, every time we go out to arrest someone, we are accompanied by a doctor, just to screen out those who are not in good physical condition."
"I heard that the experiment in the basement is particularly expensive, and those with good physical fitness can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
“Those with poor health died after a few days... Not only wasting good things... but we also had to figure out how to bury their bodies, which was very troublesome.”
Gu Sinian nodded. "I see."
Having roughly guessed what the basement was like, Gu Sinian panicked even more; his little wife had to escape no matter what.
She has space; even if someone follows her, it only takes a little time for them to calm down before no one can find her.
Besides, she's pregnant, so nothing can happen to her.
The couple communicated with their eyes. Su Ying received a glance from Gu Sinian, who only had a few expressions. She knew better than anyone what each expression meant.
The man told her to find the right opportunity to escape, no matter the cost.
There must be something shady in the basement that's why Gu Sinian was in such a hurry for her to leave.
After composing herself, Su Ying began using her charm on the chubby man again.
"Brother... I really don't want to die... Please let me out, and I'll send someone over for you, okay?"
The chubby man chuckled. "You're bringing someone over for me. How are you going to do it?"
In her haste, Su Ying blurted out, "I have a large family, and we don't lack healthy members."
“The man you took away with the tractor yesterday, he’s my cousin. I not only have a cousin, but also my cousin Biao, and they’re both in great physical condition. If you let me go, I’ll bring him to you, and then you can release my man.”
The chubby man looked at her with interest. "That's interesting. She's willing to betray her own family just to survive."
"Why not? We'd be dead if we didn't betray you. Don't worry, we won't leave. We'll stay by your side as your little brother and sister, how about that?"
The chubby man was delighted to hear this answer. He was impressed by Gu Sinian's strong physique, which made it easy for him to take on ten men at once.
He's far more capable than his remaining troops; one of them is worth ten of the others. He's a real talent.
He couldn't bear to let him die.
"Are you really willing?"
Gu Sinian shook his head, his face full of refusal, "That won't do. I don't do anything illegal or disorderly."
The chubby man shrugged. "Little beauty, it's not that I'm preventing you from living, it's just that your man is too clueless."
"How could that be? Let me talk to him, I'll definitely talk him out of it for you."
The chubby man made a gesture of invitation, as if to say, "Look, it's up to you."
"Alright. It's up to you. If you can convince your husband to join us, I'll give you and your husband a way out."
Su Ying reached out her hand, gesturing for them to untie their hands.
The fat man looked around and saw that his men were everywhere. How could a pregnant woman possibly escape from this place?
Without further suspicion, he ordered his men to untie him.
"Untie her."
The younger brother next to him wanted to say something, but was stopped by the fat man.
"Don't worry. This is my territory. She's a woman who can't even kill a chicken. She can't escape."
After being untied, Su Ying's body inexplicably relaxed a lot.
