The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 184 Reminiscing about the past
The two: !!
Don't they even bother to review it?!
They have intelligence on them!
Seeing that the dirt was up to their knees, the second man in black hurriedly spoke up, "Wait! If you're willing to let us go, we'll tell you Zhong Chenghong's whereabouts. Otherwise, we'd rather die than tell you!"

"Whether they say it or not is not important. The pit is already dug, it would be a waste not to bury them." Stone continued to shovel soil into the pit, seemingly determined to bury the two alive.

Man in black:"……"

What kind of living devils are this family!
They were skilled at digging holes with stones, and they filled the holes with soil even faster. In no time, the soil covered the two men in black up to their waists and quickly spread up to their chests.

"Wait!" The man in black, covered in dust, spat out the dirt he had accidentally swallowed and insisted on being given another chance.

Stone, leaning on his shovel, coldly observed the two. "Not going to mention conditions?"

The two men in black shook their heads in unison.

If someone's about to die, what kind of conditions are they asking for?

Stone glanced at the deep pit and muttered regretfully, "What a pity."

The two men in black: "..."

What, are there really two people going to be buried in this pit?

Shi Tou lifted them up, one in each hand, like pulling up radishes.

The soil was already loosely packed, so it wasn't difficult to pull it out. However, the number one man in black had a piece of flesh missing from his calf, and pulling it out like a radish caused him excruciating pain, almost making him pass out from the pain.

"It's just a bite from a wolf, why does it hurt so much? If you weren't stealing chickens and dogs, would my Little Grey bite you?" Stone dragged the two back, kicking the first man in black, "Don't yell, it's late at night, if you wake my child, I'll kill you."

Yuanyuan and Anian are still sleeping. What if they don't sleep well and don't grow tall?
Two men in black: Waaaaah~
Don't ask, the answer is I'm kicking myself.

The three people inside were having a late-night snack. Xiao Huan had cooked sesame dumplings after washing the dishes, and had been keeping them chilled in the well water. They tasted sweet, chewy, and cool, which was very comforting.

"Come on, we've been waiting for you." Xiao Huan waved to Shi Tou.

Shi Tou washed his hands, sat down at the table, and picked up his bowl to eat glutinous rice balls.

Shang Wan put down her chopsticks and coldly looked at the two disheveled men in black. "Confess."

The man in black was in so much pain that he had no strength left and could only rely on the man in black, number two, to answer.

The second man in black was panicking inside, but remained calm on the surface, asking, "Explain what?"

Shang Wan's expression remained unchanged, her voice cold, "Or just drag her out and bury her—"

"We are hired by Zhong Chenghong!" The second man in black hurriedly interrupted Shang Wan, breaking out in a cold sweat despite the sweltering summer heat.

Don't bury people alive over a single disagreement!

Knowing that the people in front of him were all menacing, he dared not try to be clever anymore and spilled everything out.

The two men in black were brothers surnamed Yu from Hejian Prefecture. On the surface, they were martial arts instructors, but in reality, they were involved in murder.

They can be both bodyguards and assassins, as long as you can afford it.

I came to Dongning County with Zhong Chenghong because I was hired by him, firstly to protect his safety, and secondly to help him kill Shang Wan.

After the three entered the city, they made a few inquiries and learned about the changes that had occurred at the Lu family's residence.

Zhong Chenghong found Bao Dawen to buy information about Shang Wan. After learning about Shang Wan's current situation and where he lived, he immediately ordered the two brothers to come to the village to kill Shang Wan. After the deed was done, they were to throw the body into the back mountain to feed the wild animals and destroy the evidence.

The informant was still on the side of his old customer; he wasn't afraid of being beaten up by Shang Wan. He had secretly concealed Shang Wan's martial arts skills from Zhong Chenghong, which is why Zhong Chenghong was completely unprepared and sent his two brothers to kill her without any plan.

Shang Wan asked in confusion, "Why did Zhong Chenghong want to kill me to silence me?"

Did the original owner spend money on him and still make an enemy of him?

The two men in black shook their heads in unison. They were only responsible for protecting their employer and killing for him; they didn't care about anything else.
Besides, in their line of work, the more you know, the faster you die. Lu Chengjing wiped the soup stains from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Where is Zhong Chenghong now?"

"At the Fuyuan Inn in the city," the second man in black replied, "Room Number Two, the highest tier."

Shang Wan turned her head and exchanged a glance with Lu Chengjing, seeing the same meaning in his eyes.

The second man in black looked at Shang Wan and said, "We're just doing this for money. Now that we've told you everything, can you let us leave?"

Shang Wan sneered, "If I let you leave, but you run off and tip off Zhong Chenghong so he can escape, how am I supposed to catch him?"

The two men in black hurriedly assured him that they would not inform anyone, but Shang Wan ignored them and signaled Shi Tou to gag them and lock them in the woodshed.

Seeing that Shang Wan didn't seem to intend to kill the two men, Xiao Huan simply bandaged the wound on the leg of the first man in black to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss.

Xiao Huan came out of the woodshed carrying a medicine box, bent down and patted the gray wolf's head, "Little Gray, be a good boy and guard the woodshed. If they dare to escape, bite them to death."

These words were, of course, meant for the two men in black in the woodshed.

Little Grey whimpered and dragged the wolf den over, lying down at the door of the woodshed. It howled every now and then, scaring the two men in black so much that they didn't dare close their eyes all night, fearing that they would be buried in the ground when they woke up.

Burying someone alive at the slightest disagreement—even the King of Hell wouldn't be as cunning as you guys.

The next morning, after breakfast, Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing drove an oxcart to the county town.

After passing through the city gate, head straight for the back alley of Fuyuan Inn.

Inside room number two of the Emperor's residence, the window was half-closed, letting in a little morning light.

The blue-and-white porcelain bed curtains hung to the ground, and a steady snore could be heard coming from inside.

With a soft "click," a crimson figure leaped in through the window, landing silently.

The bed curtains were lifted by one corner, letting in a sliver of morning light before it was blocked out again as the curtains were pulled back down.

As if disturbed by the light, the young man sleeping soundly on the bed turned over to the side, revealing a small red mole on his left earlobe.

"Zhong Chenghong." The woman's voice was cool and clear, carrying the unique chill of the early morning.

The young man's eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes to find himself facing a familiar face.

"Ah—" The scream abruptly stopped.

Shang Wan quickly stuffed a wad of handkerchief into the young man's wide-open mouth. Under the young man's terrified gaze, she smiled kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, I just came to catch up with you."

With a swift movement, the young man's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed onto the bed.

Shang Wan picked up the person and left, the window clicking shut as if no one had ever been there.

After placing the person into a large wooden tub that had been prepared beforehand, and covering it with vegetables, Shang Wan said, "Let's go."

Lu Chengjing tugged on the reins and drove the oxcart out of the city as he had come.

The soldiers guarding the city quickly inspected the goods on the cart, found nothing unusual, and waved for it to pass.

The oxcart traveled along the official road for a while, then turned and ran into the dense forest.

·
The excruciating pain forcefully jolted him awake. His muscles twitched, and Zhong Chenghong awoke from his coma, looking around blankly.

The area is lush and green, and there is a river not far away where you can hear the gentle murmur of the water.

Wasn't he sleeping at the inn? How did he get here?
As his memories from before he fell into a coma slowly returned, the young man's pupils constricted in shock. It was Shang Wan, that hateful woman!

The woman was still alive after a night!
