Chapter 580: Bandits (9)
"Then let's give it a try. We should live for ourselves, not for anyone else. Even family ties shouldn't become shackles that bind you."
Shu Tong fell silent.
Wen Wan didn't think she could give an immediate result, so when she left with Lei Ming, she still left her a contact number: "If you need any help in the future, you can come here and give this to the boss, and I will know."
On the way back to the mountain stronghold, Lei Ming asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, how did you know that Baicaotang is an organization in our stronghold?"
Wen Wan: "Is your older brother hiding something from me?"
Lei Ming: "..."
He said that his brother and sister-in-law were definitely in true love. If it were just an act, how could they tell his sister-in-law such a secret?
"What did my sister-in-law talk about with Shu Tong just now? She seemed preoccupied when she left."
Wen Wan: "You have to ask about girls' topics in such detail?"
Lei Ming: "..."
If this were an ordinary girl's daughter, he naturally wouldn't be interested, but this is his future wife's daughter, so what's wrong with asking?
"But I still want to tell you, if you really like Shu Tong, you have to work harder. And if I find out you're cheating on her, I'll break your legs."
Lei Ming: "Of course not. Am I that kind of scumbag? I'm a good man just like my brother, and I'll only be good to one woman my whole life."
Wen Yan: "..."
That's not quite right. Your older brother is always scheming against you.
...
Back at the mountain stronghold, they found Gu Weiming there. He was very busy, and Wen Wan didn't know what he was busy with, but she guessed he was busy with revenge. After all, the male lead was not a simple bandit leader; he also carried the blood feud of his family.
"Brother Gu, you're back? You must be tired."
"You went down the mountain to play again?"
Wen Wan nodded. "Yes, but I came back before dark. Wasn't I a good girl?"
Gu Weiming: "..."
Lei Ming had already left, leaving only Wen Wan and Gu Weiming in the room.
Gu Weiming looked at Wen Wan and said, "Your father contacted me and offered to make a deal to get you back. Guess what he's offering in exchange?"
Wen Wan had a bad feeling. "What?"
"A thousand guns, five hundred grenades, and a thousand catties of rice."
Wen Yan: "..."
Suddenly panicked, she asked, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Gu Weiming: "You don't want to? After you leave, you can continue to be the eldest daughter of the Liu family, the young mistress of the Chen family, instead of being a bandit's wife. Why don't you want to? Or have you really fallen in love with me?"
Wen Wan has to be careful what she says; she can't say she's fallen in love. In the original story, the male lead schemed to make the original owner fall in love with him, and then delivered a fatal blow.
But not loving her won't work either. If she leaves, how can we complete this mission?
In the end, all I could do was use my old methods to fool the magic.
“I don’t want to leave. You’ve ruined my reputation. You have to take responsibility for me.”
"Oh dear, I feel a headache. It must be because the weather got colder today, so I caught a chill. I need to go back to sleep."
He then ran away quickly.
Gu Weiming watched the other person's departing figure with a complex expression.
"Why?"
Chen Ziming walked out from the side. He had been there the whole time. Gu Weiming asked Chen Ziming, "Ziming, what do you think she's trying to do? What's her purpose?"
Chen Ziming: "It's hard to tell. She's been under our surveillance the whole time and hasn't communicated with anyone except Shu Tong. But Shu Tong hasn't done anything strange either, and she hasn't been to the Liu family. Moreover, the information we gave her seemed to be extremely useful, but none of it was revealed."
"However, we still can't let our guard down. She definitely has a purpose," Chen Ziming continued, but subconsciously he suddenly remembered the reason Lei Ming had given him, and paused abruptly.
That shouldn't be the case.
"Brother, if all else fails, we should forcibly send her away. Keeping her in the stronghold will always be a threat. After all, she is very good at winning people's hearts, and many brothers have a good impression of her."
"Okay, you go and handle it."
For some reason, Chen Ziming felt relieved when he heard his older brother's words. This at least proved that his older brother had no feelings for Liu Zhenyue, and Lei Ming was just overthinking things.
"Okay, I will definitely get this done."
Chen Ziming was about to leave to deal with the matter when he was stopped before he even reached the door. "Is there anything else, brother?"
Gu Weiming: "Don't rush, observe for a while longer, she will definitely slip up."
Chen Ziming: "???"
"Big...Big brother, we're brothers, there are some things I really have to say. Did you...did you share a room with Liu Zhenyue last night?"
Gu Weiming stared coldly at Chen Ziming, who quickly ran away.
He's really gone mad. How dare he ask his own brother such a question? He's really gone mad, driven insane by Lei Ming's thought process. He actually suspects that his brother might be taking the act too seriously.
...
After that, Wen Wan would avoid Gu Weiming whenever she saw him.
Even at night, she goes to bed early, and even if she doesn't fall asleep, her eyes are closed.
Then, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Because he was so afraid of being kicked out, he dreamed about being kicked out, then failing his mission and being struck by lightning and dying, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Clinging tightly to the things around them.
Gu Weiming woke up, he was choked awake, and when he saw the person in his arms looking panicked, he cried out, "No... don't send me away, no... I can't leave..."
Why do you insist on staying?
"I'm going to die, I don't want to die, Gu Weiming, I don't want to die, please..."
Gu Weiming: "..."
"Why?"
Afterwards, Wen Wan mumbled some words, but they were all unintelligible. Even when Gu Weiming got close, he still couldn't hear her. However, he noticed that she was afraid to leave. Could it be because she was ordered by Liu Qiming to come here? What was she supposed to do? Would she be punished if she failed?
It seems that Liu Qiming, who is said to dote on his daughter, may not be as good as the rumors suggest. After all, how could such a treacherous, cunning, and rotten-hearted person be anything good?
He reached out and patted Wen Wan on the back, "It's alright, it's alright..."
Wen Wan gradually calmed down, but she still held Gu Weiming tightly in her arms, as if she were holding onto a piece of driftwood left in the ocean.
Gu Weiming traced every expression on the other man's face, his expression complex. He whispered, "What exactly is your purpose? Why do you insist on staying? What do you want from me?"
When Wen Wan woke up the next day, she felt something was off about the touch. She pinched her fingers, then her eyes widened, and she instantly woke up. She found herself clinging to Gu Weiming's waist like an octopus, with one hand inside his clothes touching his chest. Just how lustful she was! How could she do something like this?
