The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 50: Dramatic Acting / Unexpected Change

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Dramatic Acting / Unexpected Change

Wang Man walked ahead, with Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye trailing behind. The two exchanged a glance, hearts pounding.

Especially Wen Ran, used to living a smooth life, suddenly faced some intrigue.

Oh!

"Why so slow?"

The door opened and a thin man walked in. He was tall, had a beard, and a pair of triangular eyes. When he stared in silence, he seemed particularly gloomy.

Wang Man rolled her eyes, "Why are you in such a hurry? Rushing around like a donkey all day long, I’m called Wang Man, so I take it slow, alright?"

The man: "..."

His gaze couldn’t help but fall on Wen Ran, this woman...

Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye were well-behaved, bowing their heads, carrying their baskets, and walking out.

The man suddenly spoke up, "You two, what are you up to?"

"Whoa," Wang Man grabbed the man, "Xi Yang, what are you doing? These two are here to deliver meat to me, don’t scare them."

With that, Wang Man said to Wen Ran, "Come on, let’s go, it’s fine."

"Wait a minute," Xi Yang shook off Wang Man’s hand, stepped forward, and blocked their path. Xiao Chenye had no intention of head-on confrontation, afraid of startling the snake, and simply stopped.

"What’s the matter?" Wen Ran raised her head, her clear apricot eyes leaving Xi Yang visibly shaken.

These eyes were too pure.

"Nothing," Xi Yang smiled, "Don’t be afraid, I have no bad intentions. You’re here to sell meat, aren’t you? Is there anything else in your baskets now?"

"Yes," since they couldn’t leave, Wen Ran simply started promoting, "There’s still ten pounds of venison."

The couple put down their baskets, and while arranging the meat, Wang Man tugged Xi Yang.

After giving her a warning glance, Xi Yang gestured her to go inside to handle things.

Wang Man’s face turned pale, she frowned, and Xi Yang remained silent, casting her a brief but decisive glance.

Wang Man took a deep breath and lowered her eyes.

At that moment, the couple had just finished taking out the stuff. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Wang Man smiled, "Alright, seems like you don’t need to sell this elsewhere, might as well give it all to us."

Wen Ran smiled innocently, "That would be great, giving it to you is better than us worrying and selling in the black market."

With that, she flattered Wang Man a little. "Besides, Sis gives a fair price. Speaking of it, we’re the ones profiting."

"Hahaha," Wang Man covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, alright, since you’ve sold everything, no need to rush back.

Wait here, I’ll go inside and pour you two cups of tea to quench your thirst before you leave."

Tea?

According to those novels and dramas she had read, there must be something fishy in the tea.

But leaving just like this felt unsatisfactory.

Everything was at a complete standoff.

If there was a breakthrough, it would be now.

"Alright," Wen Ran smiled, deciding to take a gamble.

As Xi Yang fumbled for money to pay, Wang Man had already brought out the tea, "Here, have a sip to quench your thirst."

"Good!"

Without blinking, Wen Ran appeared to down the tea in one gulp, but actually, she just touched it with her lips, secretly disposing of the rest in a hidden space.

Xiao Chenye was even more composed, sipping only twice before setting the cup down.

He picked up the basket, feigning, "Let’s go quickly."

As he spoke, Xiao Chenye shouldered the basket, took a few steps, and suddenly collapsed.

Wen Ran sprang up, her vision darkened, and slumped over the table.

Wang Man reached out and nudged Wen Ran, "Sis? Sis!"

Seeing no response, she took off the mask of a fake smile and impatiently turned to Xi Yang, "Honestly, sometimes I really don’t know what you’re trying to do.

"You’re so cautious usually, as if visiting here is a matter of life or death.

"But when it comes to moments like this, you dare to make these little moves. Do you really have a death wish? If you want to die early, please don’t drag me down with you, can you?"

Xi Yang laughed, stepped forward, and hugged Wang Man, "Oh wow, you’re upset? No wonder they say pretty women are the most dangerous.

You’re the only one in this world who dares to speak to me like this."

Wang Man irritably shoved Xi Yang’s hand away, "Stop trying to change the topic, I just want to know what you’re really up to. Managing everyone’s needs day in and day out, I’m exhausted enough.

Can you stop creating unnecessary trouble for me?"

"Tsk, tsk, look at your bad temper. Besides me, who else would want you?" Xi Yang drawled, "Do you think I’m taking risks for no reason?

Hmph! It’s because we’re trapped."

"What do you mean?"

Talking about serious matters, Xi Yang became much more cautious, "These people seem unwilling to stop until they achieve their goals, they’re eager to overturn every blade of grass in search of us.

I think if we stay here any longer, we’ll eventually be exposed, why not run away with me?"

"Run?" Wang Man was incredulous, "Are you kidding?"

"I’m not joking," Xi Yang frowned, "Think it over, I’ll give you time."

"What, what about those people?"

Only Wang Man and Xi Yang knew about the place where people were imprisoned, if they both ran away, leaving no one to deliver food, they would surely die.

"Ha," a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xi Yang’s eyes, "then we slaughter them all."

Wang Man was shocked, "Are you crazy? So many lives, aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

"Come on, Wang Man, over the years you’ve handled hundreds of items, if not at least a few hundred, you’re suddenly thinking of being kind now, what were you doing before?"

Wang Man bit her lip, remained silent.

In her view, trafficking and murder were completely different things.

Though she was involved in trafficking and profited from it, her hands were clean, not a single life was taken.

She just changed homes for boys and indirectly helped age-appropriate women get married.

"Then..." Wang Man glanced at Wen Ran lying on the table, "Why did you harm her?"

"Haven’t you noticed?"

Xi Yang was all excited, "She’s particularly beautiful."

Wang Man was dazed, "You’re really insane."

"Hahaha, Manman! You’ve really misunderstood me this time. Even if we want to run, we need money. This young woman can earn us a fortune."

Wang Man was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Xi Yang snorted coldly, lowered his voice, and whispered in Wang Man’s ear. Wang Man instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, "Xi Yang, you’re becoming less human now."

"It’s not about being human, I need to survive first."

Xi Yang smoked in the yard, then directed Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye to be moved inside, before making twists and turns towards the underground.

It was only then Wen Ran started to realize.

No wonder after all this investigation, there was no hint of anything wrong with Wang Man, because everything was buried underground.
