Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Jiuru Mansion.

Upon hearing Gong Xiaochen's voice, Wen Shengsheng's face gradually turned pale on the other end of the phone.

Deng Wei handed her the water glass on the table.

"Don't panic. Now that you've chosen to take this step, I, Gong Xiaochen, Huo Ling, Xi Yu, everyone is your pawn. You just need to be clear about your purpose and figure out how to play your game."

Deng Wei's unusually calm words affected Wen Shengsheng.

She calmed down and looked around the empty house.

"I was originally planning to wait here for Meng Hao to come find me, but now it seems that Gong Xiaochen might arrive first..."

Wen Shengsheng pondered quietly, "We can't stay here any longer. Let's go straight to the vicinity of the mine, find a place to stay, and then proceed with the rest of the plan."

"it is good."

After a while.

The two left Jiuru Mansion.

The mine was located in Heshan, about 30 miles north of Beijing, surrounded by many villages.

One of the villages, called Qizhai, is relatively large, with a market and hotels.

After changing into villagers' clothes, Deng Wei took Wen Shengsheng to the largest hotel in the area and booked a room.

After lunch, the two decided to go to the market to see if they could find out anything related to the mine.

Many people from this village go to work at the mine, but it's unclear whether there are any problems with the mine.

Wen Shengsheng inquired while thinking about things.

During this time, a foul stench was also detected.

It came from the river in the middle of the village.

After staring at the river for a while, Wen Shengsheng lost interest and went straight back to the hotel.

For Wen Shengsheng's safety, Deng Wei arranged for the two of them to stay in one room.

The boss is a woman in her forties surnamed Wu, and she's quite talkative.

Seeing that Sister Wu was staring at Deng Wei from head to toe, her eyes practically drooling.

Wen Shengsheng pulled Deng Wei over.

"Sister, I heard that the mine behind the village is very profitable. My brother lost his job in Beijing and now wants to find a new job to earn some money. Do you think he's qualified for it?"

Sister Wu was slightly taken aback. When she saw Deng Wei looking at her, two blushes rose on her round face.

"Your younger brother is so handsome, how can you bear to let him suffer in that mine?"

Wen Shengsheng smiled and said, "He is indeed handsome, but he doesn't have any skills. He can't lift heavy things with his hands or carry heavy loads on his shoulders. He can only do some manual labor."

"no..."

Sister Wu repeated those two words, her mind seemingly wandering elsewhere. When she looked at Deng Wei again, her eyes held a hint of regret.

She pulled Wen Shengsheng aside and whispered, "Little sister, don't lie to your older sister anymore. Your little brother used to be a male model at some store in Beijing."

Male model?

Wen Shengsheng was stunned.

"Hey, don't think that just because we're from the village we don't know anything."

Sister Wu glanced at Deng Wei again, "Look at that face, those legs, and that waist, tsk, so attractive, and with such smooth skin, what did you do before? My sharp eyes can tell right away!"

"My only regret is that I don't have enough money to give him happiness!!"

Wen Shengsheng pursed her lips tightly. If she had a tissue in her hand, she would have liked to wipe the drool from the corner of Sister Wu's mouth.

"Oh!" Wen Shengsheng covered her face, looking embarrassed after being exposed. "My younger brother, don't let his youth fool you. He's worked himself to the bone these past few years, which is why he lost his job."

"Ah!!" Sister Wu exclaimed in surprise.

Wen Shengsheng suppressed a laugh, rubbed her forehead in regret, and said, "Everyone else hasn't even started yet, and he's already finished! Isn't that infuriating? He can't do such a lucrative job!!!"

Sister Wu's face darkened, and her gaze towards Deng Wei instantly lost its intensity.

Wen Shengsheng added, "Is the mine behind the mountain still hiring in the village? I'll have him try his luck."

Sister Wu pursed her lips, "You know what, it's quite a coincidence. One of my older brothers is in charge of things at the mine. I'll ask around for you and let you know tonight."

Wen Shengsheng's eyes lit up, and she quickly took out several hundred yuan from her bag and stuffed it into Sister Wu's hand.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. He's like family to us, so please take good care of him, Sister Wu."

"No trouble at all, just wait for my message."

"Okay okay."

Seeing that Sister Wu had accepted the money, Wen Shengsheng pulled Deng Wei away, her face turning cold and stern the moment she turned around.

"There might be news tonight." She looked up and said to Deng Wei.

Deng Wei grunted in response, giving her a cold, sidelong glance.

Wen Shengsheng felt a chill on her neck, as if something had brushed against it.

She awkwardly touched her forehead. "Uh... just kidding. You're so dedicated, I'll give you extra pay when we get back!"

"Humph!"

Deng Wei snorted coldly and pushed open the door to enter the room.

He lay down on the bed, a short black stick that had somehow appeared in his hand, which he casually twirled around, seemingly indifferent.

Deng Wei is a person with a strong sense of boundaries and rarely experiences emotional fluctuations.

Therefore, although the two spent a lot of time alone together, Wen Shengsheng never felt uncomfortable.

She felt that Deng Wei was like air to her.

She felt comfortable and at ease when he was around, but when he wasn't, she couldn't feel it at all.

But right now, the whole room was really cold.

Wen Shengsheng pursed her lips and lay down on another bed.

Suddenly remembering what Sister Wu had just said, she couldn't help but break down and chuckle quietly under the covers.

Hearing the suppressed laughter, Deng Wei's cold phoenix eyes swept over the small, trembling figure.

The coldness in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a gentle smile.

At 5 p.m., Sister Wu sent me a message.

She said there was news from the mine, and she would come over to talk to Wen Shengsheng at 10 p.m. after she finished her work.

Wen Shengsheng showed the information to Deng Wei.

The two exchanged a silent glance, then began to eat and wait for others.

Outside Qi Village.

Gong Xiaochen and Huo Ling quickly got out of the car and led their men into the village.

Chen Ze said from the side, "We have people in these villages. This afternoon, Miss Wen and Deng Wei booked a room here. I guess they're planning to sleep here tonight."

Upon hearing this, Gong Xiaochen's already unpleasant expression darkened even further.

He gave Chen Ze a cold look.

Chen Ze's expression stiffened slightly, and he immediately changed his words, saying, "Oh, it's a rest."

The hotel where Wen Shengsheng and her group stayed was very ordinary; there was only Sister Wu on the first floor to receive them.

Suddenly seeing so many men appear, and acting so aggressively...

Sister Wu couldn't help but take two steps back in fear.

"you..."

"Find someone."

Huo Ling spoke concisely, not even glancing at Sister Wu, and led Gong Xiaochen upstairs.

They went directly to door 305 on the third floor.

Huo Ling was originally going to knock on the door, after all, Wen Shengsheng was a girl.

Unexpectedly, Gong Xiaochen pulled him away and kicked him viciously.

The hotel door wasn't very sturdy to begin with, and after being kicked so hard by Gong Xiaochen, it immediately cracked open in the middle.

Gong Xiaochen ruthlessly pushed open the door that had been abandoned and stepped into the room.

immediately.

They stood there, stunned.

The room was empty.

There is no one at all.

......

at the same time.

A gray van was driving from Qizhai to the mine under the cover of night.

The back seats of the van have been removed.

Besides the driver, there were two male villagers sitting there.

Underneath the car were two people bound hand and foot.

One male and one female.

It was Deng Wei and Wen Shengsheng who were drugged.
