Chapter 50: Cooperate With Me

it was Su He.She was already furious and frustrated because of Huo Shenxi's rejection, and now it was like adding fuel to the fire. She rushed towards Su He as if she were going mad."You wretch, you s...This is a remote mountain village over three hundred kilometers away from A city's suburbs. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one exit.

The village is extremely xenophobic, with strict rules and regulations. No one is allowed to leave the village without permission from the village headman.

Even young people rarely leave the village, and their understanding of the outside world mainly comes from what older generations tell them.

If she hadn't been taken away, Su He wouldn't have imagined that there were places more backward than her village.

Because life is becoming increasingly difficult, the elderly in the village finally came up with a plan to swindle people out of their money by pretending to be injured.

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

Originally, they just wanted to vent their frustrations on Su He and Zhao Binrui, after all, this was the first time they had been unsuccessful in a scheme like this.

When Su He left, Zhao Binrui was left alone. They had a sudden thought and didn't expect that the man who came to redeem Su He would be another man.

Villagers who knew the situation felt sympathy for Huo Chenxi, whose head was covered in green moss, and this led them to loosen their watch over him.

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

137 people, apart from 98 villagers, were also over thirty women and children abducted from different places.

Upon learning that so many people had turned to this path, Su He was astonished.

Perhaps because of similar experiences, Su He felt sympathy for them. Originally wanting to escape as soon as possible, now she also began cooperating with Huo Chen Xi's arrangements.

Unintentionally, I gave the village head an idea that resulted in him making a huge sum of money. Afterward, Huo Shenxi became like a cash cow in his eyes.

Not only did they arrange a simple hut for him, but also forced him to bring Su He along.

Although it is still guarded, it's much better than before.

Good evening.

Su He looked at the only wooden bed in the middle of the house, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the blanket and lay down on the floor.

"With someone guarding outside, do you want to expose your weakness and have them put you back in the pen" Huo Chenxi spoke softly.

Before they had a fierce resistance, their living quarters were changed from pigpens to an abandoned cowshed.

Although I wouldn't say it's as messy as a pigsty, it's not exactly clean either.

Su He bit her lip, struggling. Through the leaky window, she saw a guard peering in from outside, his feet pressed against the threshold. Hesitantly, she walked back to the bedside.

Ho Chenxi glanced at her and lay down on the other side of the bed.

Although he tried his best to sleep on the edge of the narrow wooden plank bed, it was still half-occupied by him.

Su He took a deep breath and walked over as if going to his death, lying down on the other side of the bed.

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

Su He was stiff all over, lying straight on the bed, every nerve in his body tense.

This was the first time they lay together after their divorce, both of them being sober.

Last time, she pretended to faint again, and he abnormally brought her back to Hoshino Bay. He didn't do anything, just held her and slept.

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

Feeling Huo Chenxi's breath gradually become calm and long, Su He finally let out a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.

She hasn't been sleeping well these days.

Midnight.

Su He was pressed by the sudden weight on her body, making it hard to breathe. She opened her eyes and saw Huo Chen Xi's face suddenly enlarged before her, instinctively raising her hand to slap him.

Huo Chen reached out a hand to grab 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 head is out, we need to do something to relax his vigilance."

Su He didn't understand what letting the village head relax his vigilance and Huo Chenxi pressing her had to do with each other. She kicked him in dissatisfaction, crouching down on one knee.

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

The wooden bed creaked.

Su He finally knew what Huo Chen Xi meant by letting her cooperate. Her cheeks flushed crimson, but she gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound.

She looked like this, which reminded Huo Chenxi of when they were together before.

Even when she drugged him herself, she always acted so shy and awkward, yet somehow managed to stir the deepest desires within him.

He Chenxi had originally only wanted to pretend to appease the outside world, but Su He's forbearance made him feel dry-mouthed and feverish all over.

"These two lovebirds..." The village head shook his head in disbelief and waved at the other guards, "Let's go. We don't need to eavesdrop. Just hearing from the corner is enough."

Footsteps gradually fade away.

Huo Chenxi let out a long sigh, finally releasing Su He's hands, and rolled over to lie beside him.

Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, dampening his tousled hair.

Su He jumped out of bed all of a sudden, standing far away, embarrassed as if she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Ho Chenxi got up and casually put on the jacket he had taken off.

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

Huo Chenxi looked at Su He, who was dressed formally in her coat and long legs as she walked out. Passing by Su He, he directly ordered, "Follow me!"

Su He's pupils trembled violently, as if she had guessed what Huo Chenxi was going to do. She didn't even care about the previous awkwardness, and hurriedly followed behind him.

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

Su He followed Huo Chen Xi's footsteps, taking deep steps and shallow steps forward.

...How long he had walked, I didn't know.

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

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

Below the grove of trees, one could faintly see a village surrounded by mountains on all sides.

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.

Just as they were leaving the village, several dark figures crept out of different houses and headed in the opposite direction.

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

Huo Chen Xi lightly nodded: "Those women and children who were sold."

Su He only then realized that what Huo Chen Xi had been secretly planning all this time was to rescue them.

As the torches drew nearer, Su He looked towards the other side of the small forest in the firelight. She discovered that it was a cliff. No wonder Huo Chen Xi had brought her here and stopped.

He even used himself as bait to give those women and children who were sold into the village a chance to escape.

Su He looked sideways at Huo Shen Xi, looking at his dark and unclear handsome face, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

At first, she was drawn to Huo Chen Xi because, apart from him appearing when she was most terrified and desperate, there was also that kind heart hidden beneath his indifference.

Why can you be so kind to strangers, yet so cruel to your own blood

Su He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the thing that made her heart ache just by remembering it.

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

All the flames moved quickly in their direction, rushing over to surround them.

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

"Are you afraid" Huo Chen Xi suddenly grabbed her hand and asked in a deep voice.uo Shenxi and Su He, finally tentatively saying, "I think it's pretty good overall, but there are a few places that need to be modified and adjusted." 。Seeing Huo Chenxi's face still calm and with no...
