Became a vicious male mother

45

Just like a dog tucks its tail when it's scared, or a cat puffs up its fur when it's scared.

Animals exhibit reflexive behaviors when they are afraid.

Gu Xinglan was no exception.

The hairs on my body stood on end, and bumps on my arms appeared uncontrollably.

The questions the masked man asked were beyond his comprehension.

"I'm asking you, is this your relationship?"

"...Yes," Gu Xinglan closed her eyes tightly, and said in a defiant tone, "Don't you already know? Why are you still asking me?"

"Expand and tell me."

I've seen robbery, I've seen sexual assault, but I've never seen anything like this.

Those around looked at the face on the iron seat and felt a sharp pain in their eyes.

"Boss, boss, we've searched over there, but there's nothing there."

The abandoned factory was unusually empty, and the search team felt something was off when they came in from outside.

It was too romantic and intimate; it didn't look like a kidnapping scene at all.

"We searched the floors, drains, vents, and even the hollow walls—we turned them all over." The speaker shook his head. "We didn't find anything unusual."

Was this the original owner's rented apartment that they searched?

As if confirming his thoughts, the speaker took out a brown envelope with the three characters "Gu Xinglan" written on it in a flamboyant style.

The handwriting was indeed his own.

Gu Xinglan had no recollection of this document; it was most likely signed by the original owner himself.

The masked man took the document, stroked its surface, and examined it carefully.

"What's inside?" The masked man's previous flippant expression vanished, and his eyes, like arrows, stared at him.

"You'll know once you take it apart." Gu Xinglan avoided eye contact with anyone, keeping her head down and her eyes glued to the ground.

It hissed a few times.

The brown envelope was torn to pieces, and a small red booklet fell out. The words "Marriage Certificate" on it were extremely eye-catching, not to mention that it also had several photos of the two of them together.

The masked man picked up the certificate from the ground, his eyes wide, and slowly opened the small red booklet.

The seal from the Civil Affairs Bureau was bright red, indicating that the marriage certificate had not been issued for long, and in the group photos, both people in the photos were smiling brightly.

Especially Lai Tae-ho, who rarely shows his teeth in a smile.

"How could I like men... How could I?" the masked man murmured, pointing at the photo as if deep in thought.

"Boss, these two have gotten their marriage certificate, so the intelligence from over there should be correct."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the metal gate of the abandoned factory was flung open with a loud bang.

Another person ran in: "There's no trace of that thing at this person's workstation, on the desk, in the toilet, or even at his boss's workstation."

"..." Gu Xinglan realized at this point that this group of people must be looking for something, and that thing was related to Li Taihe.

When Gu Xinglan's gaze fell upon the marriage certificate in the masked man's hand, her brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

K: [This administrator has no record of the original owner taking photos of their marriage certificate, nor any record of them taking photos with Li Taihe.]

Those things were 100% arranged by Li Taihe to be placed in his room.

What on earth is this kid up to?

K: [Good news! While you were in this place, the progress of the first hidden storyline was incredibly slow, currently at five percent.]

K: [As a reward, you have two choices: one is to survive for one hour, and the other is to "act coy"...]

“One, of course it’s one,” Gu Xinglan answered quickly.

K: [...one hour has been added, bringing the total to fifty-nine hours.]

If that's the case, he's already been in this abandoned factory for two or three hours.

The location of the hidden plot is not only at Changgu Villa, but will also change because of Li Taihe.

Gu Xinglan was absolutely mortified.

What could possibly make Li Taihe marry a respectable man like him, not to mention having him dress as a woman?

"search."

The air around seemed to freeze at this moment.

Gu Xinglan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, her face stiffened, and when she came to her senses, her eyes widened in surprise.

The faint sounds of heartbeats, breathing, and howling wind outside had all vanished without a trace, leaving only those two words echoing in the empty factory.

Search him? How?

"They checked all the places with holes for me."

The masked man, who had been interested at first, had now lost interest. He held a few useless photos in his hand, glanced at them a few times, and then crushed them under his feet.

"Search the big ones first, then the small ones; don't let either of them escape."

The people around him chuckled and rubbed their hands together, all replying in unison, "Yes, boss!"

Several shadows approached him from all directions, and the space grew smaller and smaller.

Gu Xinglan, sitting on the iron seat, trembled slightly, trying to say something, but could not utter a sound. She could only remain motionless, cold sweat constantly pouring down her forehead. Beads of sweat slowly slid down her temples, one after another, dripping onto the ground and splashing up tiny dust particles.

My mind goes blank.

Those rough, scarred, and pitted black hands looked like a few constantly wriggling black worms.

The squeaking sound almost exploded in the air as the chair corners screeched wildly against the mud floor.

Gu Xinglan watched helplessly as the men drew their knives, struggling uncontrollably.

All professional skills are useless against this group of desperate criminals with a purpose.

K: [Sigh, as expected, I couldn't escape this plot. As the administrator, I oversee fourteen systems and four hundred and sixty task subjects. Among them, three task subjects have experienced this plot and all failed their missions. After intelligent analysis, it was found that all three task subjects failed to meet their performance targets or violated their character settings in the initial main missions. This is a matter of probability.]

K: [Just like when you humans play word games, you often take the wrong path and end up with a bad ending. Unfortunately, this isn't a game world; you only have one chance.]

K: [It's been a pleasure working with you.]

"and many more!"

"..."

That feeling of emptiness in my mind returned.

The administrator... left.

Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. She was drenched in cold sweat, her teeth chattering, her eyes unfocused, as if she were uttering her last groan before freezing to death in the cold wind.

From heaven to hell, everything happened extremely suddenly. He was not the protagonist; life and death hung in the balance.

With a few sharp "slices," the knife tip sliced ​​through the clothes without hesitation, revealing tiny drops of bright red blood that stained the white tracksuit like blooming plum blossoms.

Several people simultaneously increased their breathing.

He increased the pressure, completely ignoring the terrified expression on the person's face as they sat on the iron seat.

The more beautiful something is, the shorter it lasts. Since it's just a fleeting moment, it's better to get rid of it in their hands as soon as possible.

They live on the edge of a knife, caring only about their own lives and the fleeting, quick sensation of chopsticks touching their foreheads.

Soon someone squatted down, staring intently at the red mark on the skin. "I've seen this in France and Italy..."

"Pudding, have you ever eaten the pudding that these two countries exclusively supply to their parliaments?"

"..."

The masked man stood in the center of the factory, watching the group's casual foreplay, and sneered: "Hurry up with the search."

"Yes..." Before he could finish speaking...

With a thud, the person who spoke fell to the ground along with the knife with a clang.

The group became alert.

"Little star, your honey has arrived. Thank you for your cooperation today." The masked man seemed to have expected this, and skillfully pulled out a black cylinder from his pocket.

With a loud "bang," smoke quickly filled the air.

……

Various noises, sounds of air being torn apart, thuds of people falling to the ground, and even screams.

Without exception, they all pointed to the signal that he had been rescued.

Xu Mufeng, lying on the ground, opened his eyes a crack. The person who had been pressing down on him was now lying in a pool of blood.

Bright red so bright that it's blinding.

This was a scene he had never seen before.

Xu Mufeng twisted his body.

These people underestimated him.

Being skin and bones has its advantages; it takes at least several layers to tie him up tightly, while those lunatics only tied him up three times.

"Hey, I'll bite it open for you!" Xu Mufeng remembered the direction of the voice and slowly moved to Gu Xinglan's feet.

There were people all around me, and all of them were covered in sticky, rusty liquid.

"Hey, are you dead?"

Amidst the thick smoke, Xu Mufeng gritted his teeth, braced his knee against the chair leg, and slammed his back against it.

The person on the chair instantly collapsed onto the group of people.

Using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.

Xu Mufeng's eyes were calm, even slightly pursed with excitement, happy that he had not only escaped harm but had also managed to save someone.

"Hey, let's hurry up while they're still dizzy!"

The man in black on the ground was still bleeding profusely. Xu Mufeng glanced at him indifferently and turned to look at Gu Xinglan.

Just as he was about to mock this person for being afraid of Er'er, his gaze fell upon Gu Xinglan's desperate and numb face, and all his words were choked back in his throat.

"..."
