It felt strange to be stared at while having breakfast, especially by my "love rival".
Cheng Zhi looked at the lady with a wicked smile, as if afraid others wouldn't know. Such blatant behavior aroused suspicion.
"What, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
Did this woman not get fed this morning?
Cheng Zhi couldn't hide her unrestrained smile, looking like she was watching a good show, which was really annoying.
"Madam, what's wrong with your lips so early in the morning?"
Oh no, it must have been left over from last night.
"I don't know what happened this morning, I was in a bad mood and couldn't find a lipstick that I liked, so this is what happened."
Cheng Zhi, is that it? You're always stirring up trouble. I'll make you a real orange juice when the time comes.
...
"Sir, we still couldn't get that man to talk; he's harder than a rock." Fei Ge still gets angry whenever he thinks about that man.
Having worked in this line of work for so many years, I've seen all kinds of prisoners, but I've never seen anyone so stubborn and unyielding.
I happened to be carrying the milk when I arrived at the study, and I overheard most of the conversation inside.
With their people imprisoned, this mission is very important, and that person must be very important as well.
I don't know what got into the man, but he actually took his wife to a secret room on his own initiative.
The shock along the way didn't end until we reached the iron gate of a certain secret room, where we truly felt that it wasn't all a dream.
It seems their territory is larger than they imagined; they'll need to reconsider their plans upon returning.
However, the man's sudden bringing her here might have exposed them.
No, no, no, stay calm before anything happens, don't scare yourself.
Looking inside, the person was covered in wounds, and the injuries were quite severe.
"Why did you bring me here? You didn't bring me here just to watch you torture people, did you?"
There's probably no need for that, and it's not certain. Maybe he was trying to warn me not to go against him, or I'd suffer the consequences.
Lake smiled faintly, his eyes narrowed, and casually placed his large hand on the lady's shoulder.
"You're very smart; I'm sure you understand what I mean."
He's never been a very patient person.
"He's been locked up here for a long time. He's a man to be admired, but we haven't been able to get him to talk. I wonder if Madam has any suggestions?"
Damn it, Lake, you really know how to give me a hard time.
Without thinking, carelessly.
"It's just a matter of death, and he's not even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of this? If you ask me, you might as well let him enjoy himself for a few months, let him experience the riches and glory, and maybe one day he'll see the light..."
He hesitated to speak, for some things need not be said too explicitly.
That sounds good, and there aren't any other suitable methods at the moment.
"Then let my wife do it. By the way, our wedding is coming up soon, so make sure you get plenty of rest and are ready to be my bride."
What?
What kind of situation is this?
She wondered if they had gained anything; perhaps she had been living too leisurely lately and had almost forgotten their true purpose.
Since Lake followed his wife's advice, she has personally handled all of the man's affairs.
"How are you? Are you awake?"
It's a miracle that he survived with injuries like that.
"Madam, the injuries are too severe, and I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."
It's good that they didn't die.
"You can go down now."
As the outline became clearer, the man's appearance became increasingly obvious.
He's quite similar to Qin Ziming; both are refined and elegant young noblemen, perhaps even from noble families.
"Water...water..."
"You're awake. Here, drink this."
The man felt much better after drinking the water, and his lips weren't so dry anymore.
He slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and finally stopped looking at the woman by the bedside.
Wearing high-quality loungewear, a simple and comfortable outfit, and with her long, straight black hair casually falling down, she appeared approachable.
"Hello, I'm Yao'er, Mrs. Lake, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The ignored lady was not angry; having just woken up, she needed to clear her head properly.
After lunch, they asked the guard and learned that the man hadn't eaten anything. The guard looked at him with some concern.
She sat leisurely in the chair opposite him, watching him calmly and peacefully.
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death'? When you're alive, there's still hope for everything, but when you're dead, you have nothing left."
Such outstanding military talent is a loss to the country if he dies.
After the lady spoke for a while, she left. Those who understood her were lucky; those who didn't were simply destined for it.
The man's deep eyes were fixed on the ceiling. The woman's words were all about keeping him alive, but what bothered him most was that he felt he had seen her somewhere before.
I closed my eyes to rest and tried to recall everyone I had ever met, but I still couldn't remember them.
No, he definitely saw him before!
Women who leave a lasting impression are often those who are colleagues.
If that's the case, perhaps she was in a high position and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
A few months ago, I heard that a female soldier in a military region in the south had sacrificed her life. She was a senior colonel. Could it be her?
Lying on his bed in his room, he closed his eyes and racked his brains for a solution.
He must already know her identity. How to rescue him and escape unscathed is a real headache.
The villa was heavily guarded; not even a fly could get in, let alone send someone out.
Not only him, but also her wedding with Lake is just around the corner. They need to come up with a good plan to ensure everyone can gracefully retire.
Lake, sitting on the sofa in the living room, actually had the leisure to read the newspaper.
