Chapter 222 Life is a Play (18)

“Nonsense!”

The mayor seemed to be extremely angry. He had nothing else on his body or around him to attack others with, and for a moment he didn’t know how to make the two men shut up.

I could only raise my voice to make myself more powerful, “You believe everything he says, so why don’t you believe what I say?”

“Look at how old he is. How old am I? How much can he know about me? You actually believed my lies. I admit that I did the baby fragrance thing, but the whole town knows that I am a member of the Liu family!”

“puff……”

Wen Chan couldn’t help laughing, pointing at the mayor and turning her head to Zhong Lian, “The only thing he cares about is his identity as a member of the Liu family.”

She suddenly asked the mayor, “Did you send the blank letter and the expired ointment in the west courtyard room?”

The mayor hesitated, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Wen Chan confirmed, “Then it should be you who gave it to me.”

Mayor: “…”

“You can indeed call yourself a member of the Liu family. After all, a man who marries into the woman’s family takes the woman’s surname.”

Wen Chan thought for a while and wanted to say something.

Zhong Lian’s eyes lit up, and she lowered her head to Wen Chan and asked in a low voice, “Can I have the same last name as Chan Chan?”

Wen Chan: “?”

Zhong Lian’s voice became even softer. “I heard that people without a surname will be homeless after death… Chanchan…”

“You do.” Wen Chan couldn’t stand his behavior, so she raised her hands to hold his face and rubbed it hard. “From now on, you will be called Wen Zhonglian, and you will be registered in my household registration book and buried in my ancestral tomb, okay? I’m already saving money to buy a house, and you have a home.”

“…”

Zhong Lian had her face held in her hands. She didn’t say anything for a long time, but just stared at her with burning eyes.

Maybe it was because she rubbed his face and hurt him, but his eyes were red.

“Ah.”

He responded in a mosquito-like voice, then freed his face from her hands, leaned against her, and buried his head in her neck.

Finally, he said in a muffled voice: “He is so funny. We are a family. If you don’t believe me, do you believe him?”

Wen Chan comforted him: “I didn’t take him seriously either.”

Mayor: “?”

So what is the meaning of him saying this here?

However, it’s almost time.

The mayor looked at the two people hugging each other shamelessly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took two steps back.

He glanced at the furnace nearby; the delaying tactic had been successful.

Although they know some secrets, it doesn’t matter, because the secrets will soon melt into the furnace along with them.

“No matter whether my last name is Liu or not, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

The mayor raised his head and took a deep breath, as if immersed in the rich scent of sandalwood.

The sandalwood under the furnace burned out, and he took out a handful of powder from his pocket and threw it directly into the fire.

“I actually didn’t want to give you this precious fragrant foam, nor did I want you to die now. Unfortunately, Zhong Lian’s identity is too strange, and you can’t keep any of it.”

The powder was sprinkled into the fire, sparks popped up, and a stronger aroma wafted into the air.

Wen Chan and Zhong Lian did not move.

Zhong Lian even leaned in Wen Chan’s arms and glanced at the mayor.

The two of them were unusually calm.

Mayor: “…Why don’t you have any reaction at all?”

Under normal circumstances, they should have fainted the moment they smelled it!
Zhong Lian blinked and said, “I can’t smell it again.”

He hadn’t breathed in a long time.

The mayor glared at Wen Chan.

Wen Chan looked calm, “I guess your fragrance foam needs to be used with sandalwood ash to stimulate the greatest effect, right?”

“So as soon as you came in, you burned all the remaining sandalwood in the cave, and then started to delay time waiting for the wood to burn out.”

“You have to play several personalities at once. It’s hard for you. You still have to rely on your acting skills at such an old age.”

The mayor ignored her.

His eyes were red and his breathing became rapid.

He couldn’t quite resist the effects of this fragrant foam, but he had gotten used to it and his endurance was a bit better than that of most people.

I thought I could get rid of these two guys quickly, but it seems I’m the first one to suffer.

The mayor tightened his hands at his sides, suddenly turned around and ran towards the revolving wall, pushed the wall out, and ran away.

These two monsters!

There are two monsters in the cave!

One is clearly a wandering zombie, but all the weapons recorded in the books as being effective against such ghost creatures are useless against him!
The other one looked like an ordinary person, but nothing happened to him after he smelled his fragrance.

These two people are not normal people at all!

Wen Chan and Zhong Lian looked at each other.

Zhong Lian turned her head away embarrassedly.

“Chanchan, I won’t do this kind of thing again.”

“You don’t have the chance to do that.”

Speaking of it, Zhonglian feels embarrassed.

When Wen Chan was looking for a hiding place for the two people, he saw the sandalwood and had some ideas at that time.

She wanted to jump into the furnace to hide, but Zhong Lian stopped her.

He said that although the fire was out, the temperature in the furnace was still very high, and the flames below would reignite if a little bit of something was added.

Later, Wen Chan looked at the extinguished fire and asked Zhong Lian to pee in it.

Anyway, the first time I saw this guy, he was so impolite to pee in someone else’s garden that he didn’t care if he did it one more time.

So the strange fragrance mixed with the burning sandalwood just now was actually…

The mayor’s things need the purest ingredients to be effective. If you add anything else, they will be ruined.

Wen Chan didn’t feel anything anyway, but the mayor felt his breathing was not smooth, probably because he was angry.

He mistakenly thought that the feeling of being unable to breathe was due to inhaling incense.

Neither Wen Chan nor Zhong Lian left the cave, nor were they in a hurry to chase the mayor.

Because there might be someone waiting outside.

Sure enough, the mayor was stopped by someone not long after he ran out of the cave.

The person who came to stop him was none other than Qin Ji.

Qin Ji was accompanied by a familiar-looking woman, Wu Mei, who had initially slandered the players as human traffickers.

She held a flashlight and stood behind Qin Ji, as if someone was backing her up. She shone the flashlight into the mayor’s face and shouted viciously.

“Shi Zong, I wonder where you can run to!”

Qin Ji put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Wu Mei sideways, and said nothing.

The mayor’s eyes fell on Qin Ji’s face and he subconsciously took two steps back.

This man looks stronger than Zhong Lian in the cave. Zhong Lian is not a human being. His thoughts are not very complicated. He will listen to you if you fool him a little.

This man is no good.

He and Wen Chan are together, and they are equally difficult to fool. Looking at his size, it seems like he can’t be defeated either?
The mayor ignored Wu Mei’s words, rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to say: “Brother, are you here to catch someone cheating? I don’t think Wen Chan did it on purpose. After all, it’s really hard to control yourself when you look like Zhong Lian.”

Although Wen Chan and Zhong Lian clearly stated that they were a couple, he felt that Wen Chan came with Qin Ji at the beginning, and they had some relationship.

This kind of relationship between two men and one woman is nothing more than that.

If I say this, Qin Ji will definitely be jealous.

As long as the relationship between them is severed…

Qin Ji interrupted his evil thoughts: “It has nothing to do with me if they give birth in there.”

Mayor: “?”

“Do you want to see us fighting among ourselves?” Qin Ji asked again.

The mayor took two steps back and said, “That’s not what I meant.”

“If you have it, you should admit it generously. It’s not like I won’t let you see it.” Qin Ji walked closer to him and said coldly, “If you want to watch the fun, come with me.”

The moment the mayor turned around and tried to run, Qin Ji grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck and pulled him back.

He pulled hard and dragged him towards the cave.

Wu Mei quickly followed with a flashlight to illuminate the way for Qin Ji.

When they entered the cave outside, they saw the little girl still sleeping.

Wu Mei cursed, “Shi Zong! You are not a fucking human!”

The mayor couldn’t help but reply, “I didn’t do anything to her, so why am I not a human being?”

Those two in the cave are not human!

Wu Mei cursed: “Haven’t you done enough bad things?”

While the two were arguing, Qin Ji pushed open the revolving wall.

Wen Chan and Zhong Lian were sitting on the tool bench, looking at him leisurely.

“Boss Qin, you’re here very quickly.” Wen Chan joked.

Qin Ji threw the mayor in his hand to the ground, and with his tall and strong body, he stood in front of the revolving wall to prevent the mayor from trying to escape again.

“Have you found out everything?” he asked.

Wen Chan opened her watch, operated it briefly, and then gave him an OK gesture.

“The recordings have been sent to you, all is well.”

If it weren’t for the boss’s request and the need for the story line of this copy, who would be here to talk to the mayor for so long and dig up his past!
Such a cruel and insane person should be thrown directly into the furnace and refined.

However, the boss wanted these story lines in order to earn more points, which Wen Chan could understand very well.

If he doesn’t earn more points, he won’t be able to afford her in the future.

In front of everyone, Qin Ji opened the recording and listened to it.

The mayor lay on the ground, confused, “What do you mean?”

Want to make his secret known to the world?

“What do you mean! You shameless bastard! How has my Gui’er ever done you any wrong? You bitch! How many families have you destroyed for a vain, long-dead woman? I’ll beat you to death!”

When Wu Mei heard those conversations, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Especially when he heard Zhong Lian say that he just married that ugly and fierce woman casually.

The purpose was just to use her as a carrier so that he could fantasize about another woman.

Wu Mei couldn’t hold back her tears, she rushed over, picked up the flashlight and smashed it on the mayor’s head.

“I’ll beat you to death, you bitch!”

“What’s going on?” Wen Chan jumped down from the tool bench and looked at Wu Mei with some confusion.

Qin Ji turned off the recording and said calmly: “I met her in the Buddhist temple. She said she was looking for her sister.”

It turned out that the fierce and ugly woman that Zhong Lian was talking about was Wu Mei’s sister, Wu Gui.

The mayor’s real name is Shi Zong.

At that time, he had just been elected as the mayor. Suddenly one day he said that he wanted to get married and have children, but there were no women of marriageable age in the town.

Only Wu Gui has remained single until now because he is not very good-looking.

The mayor came to propose marriage without hesitation and offered a considerable amount of betrothal gifts.

At that time, everyone thought he was a good man who didn’t care about his appearance.

Until later they never saw Wu Gui again.

Everyone thought she was too ugly and didn’t want to go out. After all, she didn’t like to go out before she got married. After she got married, she had to consider the mayor’s face. It was her blessing to stay in a big mansion and be the mayor’s wife for her whole life.

But Wu Mei didn’t think so. She and Wu Gui had a good relationship since childhood.

I secretly went to the Liu family compound to see her several times and only then did I know her situation.

Wu Gui said that Shi Zong treated her as another woman every day, and after smelling the incense in the Buddhist temple more, she felt that her behavior was somewhat out of control, and she seemed to be no longer herself.

No one would believe this kind of fantasy if you told them.

But Wu Mei knew her sister. She had never liked going out since she was a child because of her appearance and had never been exposed to those messy things.

She has a simple mind and doesn’t lie.

So Wu Mei had been thinking of a solution in secret, until not long ago she sneaked into the Liu family compound and secretly replaced the incense used by the mayor.

That was the day when Zhong Lian secretly went to the North Courtyard and saw them quarreling.

Wu Gui made a fuss for a long time that day, but the mayor did not respond to her at that time.

From Zhong Lian’s perspective, Wu Gui was the only one who was being violent, while the mayor endured it silently, which left him with a considerable psychological trauma.

The mayor didn’t say anything at the time, but since then, the incense in the Buddhist temple has never stopped burning.

Even if it was not pure baby bone incense but made by older children, he would still use it.

Although the taste was strange, Wu Guicai had no chance to wake up.

Afterwards, Wu Mei went to find Wu Gui and sneaked into the Liu family compound. After smelling the fragrance, she saw Aunt Liu, not Wu Gui.

She had no way of seeing her sister again, and the town was full of people who trusted the mayor. Fortunately, not long after, a group of outsiders came to the town.

That is Wen Chan and the others.

It so happened that two children were missing in the town.

She did her best to slander them and talked nonsense in front of the police, just to get this group of people to make a fuss, go to the police station, and make it known to everyone, so that everyone would know that this town was not a good place.

It would be best to get the mayor to come out and apologize. Then she could take advantage of the mayor’s absence to enter the Liu family compound and find evidence.

By that time, these outsiders would have already had a bad impression of the town, and she would then produce evidence that the mayor was a monster.

If these outsiders had bad tempers, they would definitely ask someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As a result, she didn’t expect that this group of people would resolve the slander so calmly, and the mayor “kindly” invited them to live in the Liu family compound.

This way they would be embarrassed to criticize the mayor.

Wu Mei was almost mad at this hypocrite. Fortunately, she ran into Qin Ji when she sneaked into the Buddhist temple tonight.

She told Qin Ji all these things directly. She thought he would not believe her, but he seemed to have received a message from someone. After listening to her, he took her to Wawa Mountain.

Now everything is connected to form a complete story line.

Qin Ji was very satisfied.

The points in this round will not be less.

While Wen Chan was helping him with the plot, she also got a story line. The only regret was that she couldn’t settle it.

The last time she appeared in the transit world, she didn’t get any points.

She is a gangster.
