Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 105 He really couldn't bear to part with it.

"What's wrong with that guy surnamed Mo? Hasn't he gotten rid of that kid outside yet...?"

Several minutes had passed since the sudden power outage, and Wang Shuai still hadn't heard any noise outside. Due to the power outage, the surveillance cameras in the room had long since stopped working, so he could no longer check the outside activity on his phone and was naturally unaware of what was happening outside.

Seeing that he hadn't heard any knocking, he became a little puzzled and decided to go out and check. Even though he was pretending to be a robber, he hoped nothing bad would happen.

He stuffed the phone into his pocket, cursing the rich bastard inwardly. This phone was stolen from Jiang Baiqian, and it was clearly the latest model. Not only that, the woman's jewelry also looked very valuable. If he hadn't been an imposter, he might have made a fortune this time if he had actually become a robber.

Of course, the idea of ​​turning a fake relationship into a real one is just wishful thinking; he certainly doesn't want to end up in jail.

To be honest, after running around as an extra on film sets for so many years, he had seen all sorts of absurd plots, but this was the first time he had ever seen a real-life scenario like hiring someone to pose as a robber to rob a wife and daughter. If it weren't for another companion claiming to be a relative of the client and able to guarantee that the other party wasn't joking or trying to scam him, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.

Besides the chance to earn some money, there was another important reason why he chose to take on this commission: he could finally indulge in acting and experience what it's like to play an important role. He could improvise his lines and so on, a privilege that even leading actors don't receive. This was undoubtedly a huge attraction for someone who had been playing minor roles for a long time.

Every extra dreams of becoming a star, and Wang Shuai was no exception. Before coming here, he even designed a complete script for himself, focusing on the image of a ruthless bandit who "kills without blinking an eye." In his view, it was precisely because he perfectly portrayed the ferocity of killing that the mother and daughter in the house dared not resist in the slightest and could only cooperate obediently.

"Tsk, what textbook-perfect acting! It's a shame no one appreciates it..."

Wang Shuai regretfully pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at Jiang Baiqian sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands tied, fidgeting, a sinister smile suddenly appearing on his lips, and warned in a deep voice, "I'm going out to take a look. You'd better stay here obediently and don't have any wicked thoughts, or I'll kill you!"

To portray the character's madness and capriciousness, he even exaggeratedly licked the fake dagger in his hand, a look of enjoyment on his face.

Jiang Baiqian swallowed hard, nodded in fear, and said nervously, "I will cooperate fully, please don't hurt my daughter!"

She had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, but Wang Shuai didn't put it back in after she made him call Han Zhou, because he felt a little guilty.

After all, he was just a fake robber, not there to abuse anyone. He even worried that his superb acting skills might leave some psychological trauma on the mother and daughter, and hesitated whether he should come over and apologize or something...

Sigh, it's true that talented people are common, but discerning mentors are rare. Even with my amazing acting skills, I can't get a director's appreciation. Why can those pretty boys who rely on their looks get roles just by saying a string of numbers? Do they even have a horse?
"Shut up, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

Thinking of this, Wang Shuai immediately regarded the woman in front of him as a blind director and sneered, "As long as you behave, I don't want two more souls to die under my knife. You stupid idiot who looks down on people, all you know how to do is support a bunch of pretty boys who can't even stand up straight."

Are you looking down on people? A pretty boy?
A question mark appeared above Jiang Baiqian's head, but she didn't dare to answer rashly so as not to anger the other party. Judging from what this guy said, it seemed that he had even killed someone...

After venting his frustration at being underappreciated, Wang Shuai ignored the woman. Checking the situation outside was more important, as it suited the mindset of a cunning robber. So he quietly crept to the door, carefully opened it a crack, and peeked out to observe the situation outside.

He suspected that the client with the perverse sense of humor had arrived.

According to the script, the client will play the villainous protagonist, appearing in time to stage a heroic rescue scene. Naturally, as a supporting character, he can never be a match for the protagonist and can only fall down as a backdrop to highlight the protagonist.

Nevertheless, he meticulously planned his own demise, staging a tragic scene of a notorious bandit's twilight years. He didn't lose to the protagonist, but rather to the remnants of his conscience...

Wang Shuai was lost in thought when he suddenly snapped back to reality. A strong hand grabbed his shoulder with incredible force and dragged him out of the bedroom.

He was shocked. The attacker seemed to have been lying in ambush by the door all along. The timing of the attack was perfect. He lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, as an extra, he had no experience in fighting, but he was quite experienced in being beaten. He immediately steadied himself by holding onto the wall and grabbed the attacker's arm.

He recognized the attacker as the kid who had appeared on the surveillance footage earlier. He didn't see his other companion around. Had he already been subdued?
That shouldn't be the case, this kid is so thin...

"You are so brave!"

Wang Shuai was still immersed in the role of a ruthless bandit. He had already discovered through the surveillance that the guy in front of him was a typical pretty boy, just like those young heartthrobs. He was holding back his anger, so he grinned and said, "I was going to let you go, but unfortunately you didn't take the road to heaven and you barged into the gates of hell..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. He turned around and saw a girl wearing a mask and a baseball cap standing behind him, holding a rolling pin as thick as an arm.

"Despicable, despicable... I'm truly doomed..."

He gave a bitter laugh, struggled to utter his last lines, and then lost consciousness.

Han Zhou gasped, quickly catching the man and gently placing him on the ground. He then pulled Mo Yixia aside, saying worriedly, "Didn't you say not to hit him too hard? Why did you knock him unconscious?"

"Don't worry, I've learned some relevant knowledge, so I'll be careful with my money. Besides, I believe that part of the money my dad paid them was for medical expenses."

Han Zhou chuckled dryly, wisely refraining from asking what the other party meant by "relevant knowledge," and whispered a reminder: "It seems your mother is tied up in the bedroom."

"Okay, go and save her."

Mo Yixia said calmly, "Remember, you must treat this as a real robbery. You risked your life to save us. Opportunities to gain your mother-in-law's favor are rare, so you must make the most of them."

In fact, Han Zhou did not know beforehand that the two men were fake bandits, meaning that he was indeed prepared to risk his life.

It has to be said, this is definitely a big plus...

Mo Yixia stared at Han Zhou for a long time, pondered for a few seconds, and finally put down the rolling pin, seemingly with some regret.

Han Zhou's expression was strange: "The look in your eyes just now seemed to tell me that you wanted to use this thing to hit me hard..."

"Ah."

Mo Yixia readily admitted, "A battered and bruised you appearing in front of my mother would obviously be more impactful, which is a plus. I was originally considering whether to break one of your legs so that I could use the excuse of taking care of you to go to the hospital and be alone with you, killing two birds with one stone. But unfortunately, I still can't bring myself to hit you."

Han Zhou's eyelids twitched; this guy really didn't seem to be joking.

"Hehe, thank you so much..."

"You're welcome. The main point is that it wouldn't make much difference if you hurt me. My mom would definitely lock me in the hospital room and stay with me the whole time, not giving me any chance to be alone with you. That would be a loss. Besides, I know you wouldn't want to hit me, otherwise I would have allowed you to lay a hand on me."

"No, I'm willing to, but isn't the word 'to lay hands on you' a bit inappropriate..."

Mo Yixia pretended not to hear and calmly said, "Alright, you should hurry up and save my mom. I'll wear the hat for now and give it back to you later. Otherwise, my mom might suspect our relationship. Our relationship is a secret until I graduate from high school. Adultery has to be done underground, so don't be in a hurry."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Han Zhou was already used to Mo Yixia's nonsense, so he gave her a few perfunctory replies and was about to leave when he saw Mo Yixia standing motionless. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "By the way, I'm going to save your mother, so what are you doing?"

Mo Yixia glanced at him and pulled down the brim of her hat.

"Of course I have other things to do."
