Chapter 50: Cooperate With Me

belong to others," Su He said to Bai Yihuan with a sinister smile, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Bai Yihuan was so frightened that she turned and ran, not forgetting to shout "Help!""Su He, you litt...This is a remote mountain village over 300 kilometers from the suburbs of city A. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one exit.

The village is severely xenophobic, with strict rules and regulations. No one is allowed to leave the village without the village head's permission.

Even young people rarely leave the village, and their knowledge of the outside world comes mainly from what older generations have passed down through word of mouth.

If she hadn't been brought here, Su He couldn't have imagined that there were places even more backward than her own village.

Because life is becoming increasingly difficult, the elderly in the village have finally come up with a scheme to scam people out of money by pretending to be injured.

This is the first time a huge ransom has been demanded after a kidnapping.

Originally, they just wanted to vent their frustration on Su He and Zhao Binrui. After all, this was the first time they had been defeated after trying to scam someone.

Seeing Su He leave, Zhao Binrui was left alone. They came up with the idea on a whim, but they didn't expect that another man would come to redeem Su He.

Villagers who knew the situation felt sympathy for Huo Chenxi, whose head was covered in green oil. This led to a relaxation of their watchfulness over him.

Ho Chenxi took the opportunity to get a clear understanding of the village's situation.

One hundred and thirty-seven people, including ninety-eight villagers, and more than thirty women and children abducted from different places.

Su He was shocked to learn that so many people had come over.

Perhaps because of similar experiences, Su He felt sympathy for them. Originally, she wanted to escape as soon as possible, but now she has started to cooperate with Huo Chen Xi's arrangements.

By accident, I gave the village head a suggestion that made him reap a huge sum of money. After that, Huo Chenxi became the village head's cash cow.

Not only did they arrange a rudimentary hut for him, but they also forced him to keep Su He by his side.

Although there are still people guarding it, it's much better than before.

Good evening.

Su He looked at the only wooden board bed in the middle of the house, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the quilt and went to sleep on the floor.

"Someone is guarding outside. Are you trying to expose a weakness and get put back in the pen" Huo Chen Xi opened his mouth softly.

Before their strong resistance, they moved from pig pens to an abandoned cattle shed.

Although I wouldn't want it to be as dirty and messy as a pigsty, it's not much better either.

Su He bit her lip in distress, peering through the leaky window at the guards peeking inside from outside. Hesitantly, she returned to the bedside.

Ho Chenxi glanced at her, then walked to the other side of the bed and lay down.

Although he tried hard to sleep on the edge of the wooden plank bed, the narrow wooden plank bed was still occupied by him for half.

Su He took a deep breath, and walked over as if going into battle. He lay down on the other side of the bed.

There was only a palm's width between the two of them.

Su He's whole body was stiff, lying straight on the bed, every nerve in his body tensed.

This was the first time they had lain together since their divorce, both of them sober and clear-headed.

Last time, she feigned unconsciousness again, and he abnormally brought her back to Starry Bay. He didn't do anything, just held her and slept.

After the divorce, Su He suddenly found that she seemed to understand Huo Chenxi less and less.

Finally feeling Ho Shen Xi’s breath become gradual and long, Su He finally relaxed, slowly closing his eyes.

She hasn't slept well these days.

Midnight.

Su He was pressed down by a sudden weight, gasping for air. She opened her eyes to see Huo Chen Xi's face suddenly enlarge before her and reflexively slapped him.

Huo Chenxi reached out and grabbed her wrist, lowering his voice: "Don't speak, cooperate with me!"

Su He gritted his teeth: "Go down first."

Huo Chenxi's dark eyes narrowed slightly: "The village chief is out, we need to do something to make him relax his vigilance."

Su He didn't understand how letting the village chief relax his guard had anything to do with Huo Chen Xi pressing her down. She kicked him in dissatisfaction, bending her knees.

Huo Chenxi directly pressed down on her legs, grasped both of her hands with one hand and lifted them above her head, then slowly swayed back and forth.

The wooden bed creaked.

Su He finally knew what Huo Chen Xi meant by letting her cooperate. Her cheeks flushed crimson, but she bit her lip tightly, refusing to make a sound.

This look of hers reminded Huo Chenxi of when they were together before.

Even if she was the one who drugged him, she always acted so shy and awkward, yet somehow always managed to stir up the deepest desires in his body.

He Chenxi originally only wanted to pretend to fool outsiders, but Su He's enduring appearance made him feel dry-mouthed and his whole body felt like it was on fire.

"These two lovebirds..." The village head sighed, waving at the other guards, "Let's go. We don't need to eavesdrop."

Footprints gradually faded away.

He Chenxi let out a long sigh, finally loosening his grip on Su He's hands. He rolled over and lay down beside her.

A fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead, wetting her stray strands of hair.

Su He jumped out of bed at once and stood far away, embarrassed to the point of wanting to find a hole to hide in.

Huo Chen Xi got up and casually put on the coat he had taken off.

"Are you going out" Su He asked in surprise.

Huo Chenxi sized up Su He, who was dressed warmly in a coat and strode out. As she passed Su He, she commanded directly: "Follow me!"

Su He's pupils trembled violently, as if she had guessed what Huo Chenxi was going to do. She ignored the awkwardness from before and hurriedly followed behind him.

The night was as dark as ink, deep and cold, with nothing visible beyond one's outstretched hand.

Su He followed Huo Chenxi's footsteps, walking forward step by step.

I don't know how long I had walked for.

Ho Chenxi suddenly raised his hand and threw something out. A sharp cry was heard, followed by a palm-sized pink firework exploding in the sky.

Then, with the faint light, Su He realized they were in a rather small forest.

Beneath the woods, a village surrounded by mountains can be faintly seen.

The fireworks dissipated, but the commotion had already caught the attention of the vigilant villagers. Torches gathered from different directions and finally surged in all directions.

As they were leaving the village, several dark figures crept out of different houses and moved in the opposite direction.

"What's that" Su He's heart skipped a beat, she turned her head and looked at Huo Chen Xi in disbelief.

Huo Chenxi nodded lightly: "Those women and children who were abducted."

Only now did Su He realize that what Huo Chen Xi had been quietly planning all this time was to rescue them.

As the torches drew closer, Su He looked in the direction of the small grove illuminated by the firelight. She saw a cliff on the other side. No wonder Huo Chen Xi had brought her here and refused to leave.

He actually used himself as bait to give those women and children who were trafficked to the village a chance to escape.

Su He cast a sideways glance at Huo Chen Xi, gazing at his obscurely beautiful features. Her heart was filled with a multitude of emotions.

At first, she fell for Huo Chenxi not only because he appeared when she was most terrified and desperate, but also because of the kind heart hidden beneath his indifference.

Why can one be so kind to strangers, yet so cruel to their own flesh and blood

Su He took a deep breath, no longer thinking about the matter that made her heart ache just by thinking about it.

"They're over there, quick, catch them!" A villager spotted them and shouted loudly.

All the flames moved quickly in their direction and soon rushed over, surrounding them.

Under the firelight, the villagers' expressions were fierce and violent, as if they wanted to tear them to shreds.

"Scared" Huo Chen Xi suddenly grabbed her hand and asked in a deep voice.e, Hei Xin J's avatar lit up and sent a message: "The Di Jin Group project is very meaningful. It's a pity to stop it."Even the notorious AJ, known for his unscrupulousness, was swayed by Huo Chenxi!S...
