Chapter 45 The Trap of Temptation

Liang Yi has always been very proud of An Min.

What I used to look down on, I now find incredibly appealing.

Although Liang Yi felt a little itchy every time he saw An Min.

But if Anmin doesn't say it's okay, he absolutely won't cross the line.

At most, he can hold his beautiful wife while sleeping at night.

A few days later, Anmin received a message from Old Man Wang, the village chief of Dongxiang Village.

There's been a minor mishap at the soil improvement test site, and Anmin needs to go there in person to take a look.

If possible, Anmin will most likely need to stay in Dongxiang Village for two days.

Convenient for nighttime observation.

This land was also Anmin's life's work, so Anmin only thought about it and then agreed.

The camp is not far from Dongxiang Village, so nothing should happen.

However, just in case, Anmin still told Liang Yi.

Anmin felt a little strange, as such trivial matters were usually discussed by children like Zhaodi.

Why is it Old Man Wang who made this trip this time?
Especially the look in Old Wang's eyes made An Min feel very uncomfortable.

During dinner in the evening.

“I might have to stay in Dongxiang Village for two days, and I won’t be able to go back tonight.”

Liang Yi paused, his hand still holding the food, and looked up at her: "We're so close, why do you need to spend the night in Dongxiang Village?"

"That's right, I also find it strange, but that piece of land is my life's work..."

Before An Min could finish speaking, Liang Yi already understood what she meant.
Liang Yi didn't speak, but his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He put down his chopsticks and asked casually, "Has Chen Mo been going to Dongxiang Village lately?"

"He went, but not like before."

An Min bit her chopsticks and understood the meaning behind Liang Yi's words.

If Anmin has to be alone, it might be related to Chen Mo.

“They would avoid him from a distance, looking like they were terrified. Zhao Di and the others also said that Technician Chen had been quite ‘well-behaved’ in the village these past few days.”

An Min hesitated slightly when she said the word "behave yourself".

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yi approached An Min and left her a message.

An Min's eyes gradually brightened, and she smiled.

……

The evening before Old Man Wang delivered the message to An Min.

Chen Mo found Zheng Tianyou.

His face held a fierce yet excited expression.

Thinking about returning to the city, Chen Mo wished he could get An Min done right now.

"The opportunity has come!"

Chen Mo lowered his voice, a calculating glint in his eyes: "Tomorrow Anmin is going to Dongxiang Village to check on the experimental fields. I heard from Old Man Wang that she's going to stay in Dongxiang Village."

Zheng Tianyou was very excited when he heard Chen Mo's words: "Spend the night? Great! That's wonderful! Are you sure she'll act alone?"

"I'll try to stall Liang Yi and create some minor troubles to keep him busy. The camp has been busy these past few days anyway."

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Chen Mo's lips.

“Anmin values ​​that land more than her own life. Old Wang is exaggerating; she’ll definitely stay. When she’s alone, that’ll be the perfect opportunity for us to make our move!”

"Location?"

Zheng Tianyou licked his chapped lips; the pain in his broken leg seemed to lessen due to his excitement.

"It can't be in the village; there are too many people and too much attention."

"The experimental field is near the abandoned brick kiln complex on the back mountain, which you are familiar with."

A glint of light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

“I’ve already kindly reminded Old Man Wang that the temperature might drop in the latter half of the night, and that Anmin should find a sheltered place to rest and observe. That brick kiln is the perfect spot. You should lie in ambush beforehand.”

"But she has someone with her in Dongxiang Village, so be careful."

"A hero saving a damsel in distress?" Zheng Tianyou sneered, his voice dripping with malice.

“I’ll just tie her up and leave her helpless. You can ‘rescue’ her however you want! It’d be best if everyone knew, so Liang Yi could see what kind of woman he’s protecting!”

A sense of pleasure swept through Chen Mo's heart, as if he could already see Liang Yi's furious and humiliated face.

"That's the plan! Tomorrow evening, once Anmin enters the experimental field area, hide beforehand. Remember, be quick, don't give her a chance to call for help."

Zheng Tianyou nodded. Once he tied An Min up, he would definitely not let her go!
This bitch!

The next afternoon, Anmin packed some basic toiletries and a notebook, ready to set off.

She had a short knife given to her by Liang Yi for self-defense tucked into her waistband.

Liang Yi said that it had followed him to the battlefield and could cut through iron like mud.

Moreover, the two of them had already agreed last night that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She took a deep breath and stepped out of the family compound.

She hadn't gone far when she saw Liang Yi standing by the roadside at the entrance of the camp, as if he was waiting for her.

He was dressed in a crisp military uniform, his posture upright like a pine tree, sunlight dancing on his epaulets.

"I'll walk you to the village entrance."

Liang Yi walked over, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

He took the not-too-heavy bundle from An Min's hands with a natural movement.

"No need to trouble yourself, I can manage on my own."

"On the way."

Liang Yi spoke concisely, his sharp gaze sweeping across both sides of the road as if confirming something.

His presence acted as an invisible barrier, shutting out those subtle, probing gazes.

Anmin felt inexplicably calmer.

As they approached the crossroads in Dongcun Village, Liang Yi stopped and handed the bundle back to An Min.

"Be careful."

The two locked eyes, and Liang Yi smiled and suddenly raised his voice.

"If you feel something is wrong before dark, turn back immediately, or find Old Wang's house to stay at. Don't go to remote places."

"Okay, I understand. Go back now."

Liang Yi hummed in agreement, watching her turn and walk towards the path in Dongxiang Village until her figure disappeared behind the earthen wall at the village entrance before he looked away.

The gentleness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.

He turned around and strode towards the camp, but not towards the office; he headed towards the communications company.

When Anmin arrived at the experimental field, she found that the so-called problem was not serious and there was no need to observe it overnight.

When faced with her question, Old Wang's eyes darted around, and he stammered.

I only mentioned that I was worried about frost at night affecting the newly improved soil structure, and suggested that she stay and take a look.

Anmin's doubts deepened.

Her intuition told her there shouldn't be any problem.

As night falls, the fields fall silent, save for the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind.

Anmin wrapped her coat tighter around herself and stood by the field, hesitating whether to go back.

Just then, Old Man Wang came running over, panting, carrying a dim kerosene lamp.

"Teacher An, something terrible has happened! Over at the kiln site behind the mountain... I think I saw wild boars rooting around! Our test site is also there!"

"Wild boar?"

An Min was startled; the abandoned brick kiln complex on the back hill was indeed not far from the experimental field.

"Yes! It looks quite big! My legs aren't strong enough, so I don't dare go over there, afraid of startling it and making it even worse! You should go and take a look! Bring a stick!"

Old Wang looked anxious and shoved a thick wooden stick into An Min's hand, pointing to the dark path leading to the brick kiln complex.

Looking at Old Man Wang's anxious face and remembering Liang Yi's instructions, An Min felt a strong sense of unease.

“Village chief, it’s not appropriate for me to go alone. I’m just a woman. Why don’t you find a few more people to go with me?”

"If all else fails, I'll go back to the camp and get help."
