Chapter 143

“You seem to be a smart woman, but I don’t understand why you would want to be Li Fulong’s mistress. If I remember correctly, you’re not the only one he has affairs with, so do you think he’ll cherish you?”

“It’s none of my business how many lovers he has. All I care about is getting what I want.”

“money?”

“This is none of your business,” Liu Hui said. “Give me back the bottle.”

“So you don’t want your LV bag anymore?”

“Put the bottle in my bag and give it to me! Or I’ll shoot you!”

Actually, there’s something I want to tell you.

“What?”

“I’ve handled real guns before, and I know what it feels like to have a real gun pointed at you,” Han An said. “But I can tell right now that you’re not pointing a real gun at me. It’s something with a smaller tip, but thicker than a knife. It’s either something you picked up casually, or it’s your finger.”

“Nonsense! It’s a gun! If you dare turn around, I’ll shoot you!”

“Your voice is trembling, and you still have the nerve to call it a gun?” Turning around, looking at Liu Hui’s finger shaped like a gun, Han An said, “If I had to find a word to describe you right now, I think ‘a lamb entering a tiger’s den’ would be quite fitting. You’re smarter than them, knowing to check behind you. But you’re also incredibly stupid, attacking without any ability to subdue me. I’m standing right here now, what can you do to me?”

As soon as Han An finished speaking, Liu Hui kicked him in the crotch.

After grabbing Liu Hui’s calf with one hand, Han An pulled her upwards.

“Ouch!”

“I also wanted to teach you how to do the splits!”

Amidst laughter and conversation, Han An had already let go of her hand.

Because of a ligament strain, Liu Hui, who couldn’t stand, sat down on the ground.

She happened to be sitting on a protruding rock, so she felt as if her chrysanthemums had been invaded.

Although chrysanthemums had been cultivated before, this sudden feeling still made her very uncomfortable.

Unable to defeat Han An, Liu Hui could only glare at him after standing up.

“Take off your skirt.”

“You’re planning to do something to me?”

“Just take it off.”

“Since we won’t be filmed now, you’re planning to do it to me?”

“If you won’t take it off, then I’ll do it myself.”

“I like being forced.”

“Take it off!”

“I thought you were a paragon of virtue, but it seems I was wrong.”

After glancing at Han An, Liu Hui took off her skirt.

She tried to throw her skirt on the bench, but Han An snatched it away.

“Turn around and put your hands behind your back.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui realized that Han An intended to tie her up.

Although somewhat reluctant, Liu Hui did as she was told.

Han An wanted to help Liu Hui’s hands, but after seeing a stone pillar in the backyard, he took Liu Hui there and tied her to the pillar.

To prevent Liu Hui from screaming, Han An took out an apple from his pocket and stuffed the whole thing into Liu Hui’s mouth.

Han An glanced at Liu Hui, who was furious, and said, “See you again if fate allows.”

Liu Hui was both ashamed and angry, but because her mouth was stuffed with an apple, she could only stare helplessly.

After passing through the corridor and arriving at the main hall, Han An glanced at the Guanyin statue of the Goddess of Fertility before leaving the dilapidated temple.

According to Han An’s estimation, those men should be returning soon, so he was thinking about how to avoid them.

Taking the mountain path directly was definitely out of the question, so Han An’s plan was to hide near the path first. Once the men reached the stone steps, he could simply leave.

Once you’ve made a plan, the next step is naturally to put it into action.

After descending the stone steps, Han An hid in the roadside bushes.

More than ten minutes later, Han An saw them walking back dejectedly.

Only after they reached the stone steps did Han An begin to walk down the mountain path.

Because he guessed they would still come after him, Han An walked very fast.

Having successfully reached the highway, Han An went straight to find the middle-aged woman he had chatted with earlier.

It’s hard to get a taxi here, so he paid 100 yuan to have the middle-aged woman’s husband take him to a spot where it’s easier to hail a taxi.

If Han An continued to linger at the cozy farm, he worried that he would be hacked to death by those idiots later.

Upon arriving at that location, Han An first booked a flight to Shenzhen that evening, departing around 9 PM, before taking a taxi to Sanyi Airport in Lijiang City.

At 6 p.m., Han An arrived at Sanyi Airport.

After printing his boarding pass and going through security, Han An sat down in a seat near the boarding gate.

Taking the glass bottle out of his pocket and looking at the yellowish-brown condoms inside, Han An felt like he was in a dream.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted; otherwise, he might have already perished in the dilapidated temple.

After resting for a while, Han An called Gao Yining.

After the call connected, Han An asked, “Are you busy?”

“It’s alright, go ahead and tell me.”

“I got the condom,” Han An said, still staring at the glass bottle. “I’ll be in Shenzhen around midnight. Can I come see you then?”

“Aren’t you being way too impatient?”

“I know, I just want to find out as soon as possible whether there is any semen inside.”

Are there any semen stains inside?

“It seems so.”

“Then we can draw a conclusion, right?”

“But I still hope you can use the equipment to test it.”

“I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River.”

“This is a safer approach.”

“All right.”

Where should I look for you tonight?

“Tomorrow,” Gao Yining said on the other end of the phone. “I have a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early, and my parents won’t let me go out that late. Although Shenzhen is a very safe city, it’s still not good to wander around on the streets in the middle of the night. Of course, given that you will have insomnia if you don’t know the outcome, I think I should still reluctantly agree.”

Hearing Gao Yining’s words, Han An smiled and said, “Thank you!”

“I haven’t made my request yet.”

“Go ahead and say it!”

“I’ll have a late-night snack with you then, and you can use your ID to book a hotel room for me while you’re at it.”

“Aren’t you going back to sleep?”

“I will tell my dad that I’m going to stay overnight at a friend’s place.”

“Then why can’t I use your ID to book a hotel room?”

“Because my dad would ask his friends to check my hotel check-in records.”

“It feels like you’re being monitored.”

“He dotes on me so much that he’s afraid I’ll go to a hotel with a man before I get married.”

“Girls should learn to love themselves.”

“Your tone sounds just like my dad’s.”

“I promise you, where shall we meet tonight?”

“It’s right outside the Nuclear Gene Center,” Gao Yining said. “I’ll go to a quiet bar first. Let me know when you get to Bao’an Airport. After I’ve finished the test for you and you’ve had a late-night snack with me, you can take me to a hotel.”

“That’s a very ambiguous statement.”

“What I say may be ambiguous, but what I do is never ambiguous.”
