I’ll Stop Pretending and Lay My Cards on the Table

After Chen Wei’er finished singing these few lines, she saw the girls blinking their eyes.

The short-haired girl’s eyes turned red, and tears were about to fall. She bit her lip hard and tried to hide her emotions. She had been kidnapped for more than a year. She had escaped countless times and thought of all kinds of ways, but it was obvious that she had not succeeded. In the end, she was beaten up. If she didn’t give birth to a son and her husband hadn’t spent a lot to acquire her, she would have been abused to death. She had never thought that she would be able to leave this place one day.

When Chen Wei’er saw her crying, she quickly started singing again.

[Everyone, please remain rational and calm. Don’t be noticed. Don’t fail at the last moment! In a while, two cars would drive over. You guys must follow closely behind me! If you understand, please blink three more times.]

The short-haired woman tried her best to restrain herself. She turned her head and pretended to cough to cover up the sourness of her tears. Even if she were to die today, she would not die in this place!

When Chen Wei’er saw them blink, she was relieved. She sang a few more lines before stopping.

“How was my singing?” Chen Wei’er asked Wang Hua with a smile.

“What are you singing? I don’t understand a single word!” Wang Hua’s face was full of disdain.

The other women in the village also nodded in agreement.

Chen Wei’er laughed and said, “I don’t know what I’m singing, but I’ve heard others sing like that! I only copy them. The song is really popular.”

“You, city people, are just like that,” Wang Hua said. “It’s nothing special!”

“Who said it was?” Chen Wei’er nodded in agreement. “It’s really better in this village. People are more unrestrained. Moreover, you all have such a good relationship. The people in the city don’t know how to open up to each other. They’re all on guard against each other!”

“Is that so?” Wang Hua looked at Chen Wei’er and seemed to be a little surprised.

Chen Wei’er looked as though she shared a common enemy with Wang Hua. “Our neighbors are strangers. They don’t bother to talk to each other even when they see one another. They don’t have a good relationship with their siblings and parents either. They’re busy with their own world.”

Wang Hua felt proud. “Let’s not talk about anything else. The people of Osmanthus Village are truly very united. A hundred people will respond to a single call. You won’t have any problems here!”

Chen Wei’er nodded in agreement, but she was disgusted in her heart.

‘Indeed, you guys are really united, but you use it to break the law!’

He Xun had also heard the content of his wife’s song and knew that she had already contacted the girls who had been abducted.

“Are you cold?” He walked to his wife’s side.

This was the secret signal between the two of them. He was asking Chen Wei’er if she was ready. If they were prepared, they could leave soon.

“Yeah, it’s a little cold.” Chen Wei’er nodded.

Although it was early autumn, the temperature at night was indeed colder than during the day, so it was normal for Chen Wei’er to say that it was cold.

Wang Hua didn’t doubt it. “It’s normal to be cold at night. You’re wearing too little,” she said while munching on melon seeds.

As she spoke, she raised her hand and tugged at the other party’s clothes.

“It’s almost October, but you’re still wearing such thin clothes. It would be strange if you weren’t cold.”

“Yup!” Chen Wei’er nodded and stood up to hug He Xun. She said to Wang Hua, “We’ll walk around a little to warm up. I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold if I sit here for a while longer.”

“Go ahead!” Wang Hua wasn’t afraid at all. After all, there were so many people around. How could the two of them escape? Even if they ran, they would be surrounded by mountains. Where could they escape to? When it came to mountain paths, these foreigners were clueless.

Chen Wei’er was talking to Wang Hua while waving to the girls.

They understood and stood up one after another to walk around. Then, they inched closer to Chen Wei’er’s side.

Chen Wei’er squeezed He Xun’s hand. He Xun nodded and pointed at the button in his pocket.

‘Bang!’

A loud noise came from the forest nearby, and everyone was shocked by it.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the forest and saw the sparks of fire.

Old Li was dumbfounded. He immediately stood up and shouted, “Who is there? Why is there a fire?” As he spoke, the flame also ignited. The early autumn was dry, and the fire instantly grew bigger.

“Hurry up and put out the fire!” Everyone panicked and shouted.

The forest was extremely lush. If it really burned down, their houses would be destroyed. After all, the village was surrounded by trees!

But even at this time, Old Li was still paying attention to the movements of Chen Wei’er and He Xun. The couple didn’t panic at all. Old Li even suspected that it was the two of them who caused the incident.

“Old Six, take your men and go home to draw water and put out the fire!” He shouted. “Shi Tou, take your men and arrest the two of them!”
