Mr. Nan’s body went limp and collapsed directly on the ground. Then he knelt on his knees and begged sobbingly, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. Mr. Gou, please save me. Please save me!”

“Don’t move and wait for me to go over. Whether you live or die really depends on your luck!”

Hearing that, Mr. Nan dropped his phone on the ground. Fear had made him unable to take a hold on himself as he cursed, “Wu Heping, f**k your ancestors! You f**king got me into all these troubles!”

…

Li Mu drove to the car park of Nanyun Resort Hotel. After getting out of the car, he searched around and didn’t find any trace of his wife.

Just when he was about to call Lin Wan, he saw a tall and well-built man walking over in despair. The man didn’t seem to notice him when he walked past him.

“Ah, isn’t that Cheng ... What is his name?” Li Mu muttered to himself.

Seeing that the man was about to go far, he hurriedly shouted, “Mr. Cheng! Brother Cheng! Hey!”

Cheng Feng turned and looked back blankly. When he saw him, he grinned and said, “Hello, Mr. Li. Is there anything I can help you with?”

The man really didn’t know what friendly greetings were. Li Mu casually replied, “Oh, nothing. I just happened to see you here and wanted to say hello to you.”

“Mhm … If there isn’t anything else, I’ll get going!”

“Ah, okay, okay. We’ll talk again later!”

“Bye!” Cheng Feng turned around and hobbled away.

“He must have had too much to drink!” Li Mu murmured, dialed his wife’s number, and heard the sound of her ringtone. Alas, where was that woman hiding?

Li Mu followed the ringtone sound and found Lin Wan sitting in the front passenger seat of his car and waving her phone at him with a smile.

“When did you get in the car? Why didn’t I see you?”

“I got in the car when you were chatting with that person. Your eyes were fixed on him and didn’t notice me at all!”

Lin Wan replied discontentedly, leaned toward him with her whole body, and asked, “Honey, do you want to try something exciting?”

“You mean car sex? I like it. But there are too many people here. Let’s switch to another venue!”

Li Mu responded lecherously. Lin Wan gave him a hard pinch and said, “Damn bastard. If you dare to think about this again, I will definitely kill you. What I meant is to travel abroad. Let’s take on an adventure trip to Africe!”

…

Mr. Nan was kneeling straight on the ground with a group of people either sitting or standing in front of him. Sitting among them was an enchanting young woman, looking at him with an indistinct smile.

After taking a few glances at him, the young woman leaned her body lazily on the backrest without saying a word.

Sitting next to her, a ruddy-faced white-haired elderly man wearing a pair of reading glasses lifted his walking stick and stamped it against the ground.

“Mr. Nan, I want you to hand over all your properties and also cut off one of your hands as compensation. Do you accept that?”

Mr. Nan nodded tremblingly and answered, “Yes!”

The elderly man smiled at the young woman and asked, “Ms. Hong, do you think this is okay?”

“A powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts. Mr. Gou, since you have asked me in this way, I must respect your decision. Let’s do what you said and also gouge out one of his eyeballs as a punishment for failing to see who he tried to lay his hand on is. Let’s end things this way!” the young woman replied lazily.

“Alright! We’ll just do what you said, Ms. Hong!” the elderly man said and looked around. Hearing that, a few men walked out immediately and dragged the limp Mr. Nan out of the room.

“As for Wu Heping, do you need me to…”

The young woman waved her hand, sat up straight, and said with a smile, “No need. There is no need to bother you with such a small matter. My men can settle it. He can live for another three days at most.”

…

Sitting in the western restaurant, Li Mu and his wife were still discussing whether to go to Africe.

Li Mu thought that Lin Wan was just joking with him. However, he didn’t expect that she was serious. She had already started planning to sell the house and the car.

Wasn’t this ridiculous? Li Mu’s home and roots were in Shanyang. How could he lead a wandering life at such a young age?

Although young people should aspire to succeed far away from home, it didn’t mean that they could travel leisurely and go wherever they wanted.

After all, they were not second-generation rich people who didn’t have to worry about money and live a carefree life. Just like many other ordinary people, he had to work hard to earn a living.

For Li Mu, he was now in the mid-career stage, and at the same time, the stage of wealth accumulation. He was not yet conceited that he could live a carefree life with his current financial ability.

It was just that her wife was at the height of her enthusiasm now, so he couldn’t bear to interrupt her. He could only patiently listen to Lin Wan as she talked about her plans.

Lin Wan had said a lot. The more she said, the happier she became. As she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why wasn’t her husband saying anything? She had said so much, but why didn’t he have any opinion?

“Honey, what are you thinking about?”

Li Mu was startled by her question and replied, “Nothing. I am listening to your dreams!”

Displeased, Lin Wan hit Li Mu’s plate with a fork and said, “I’m discussing something serious with you now. I’m not dreaming. Can you be more serious?”

“I am serious too. I am listening to you talking about your dreams very carefully. Have you finished talking? If you have, please pay the electricity bill for this month. We have already received the payment reminder twice. If we still don’t pay, the power company will cut off the power supply.”

“Did I not pay the bill? Why do I remember I already paid?”

Lin Wan took out her mobile phone and started clicking on it. After a few clicks, she suddenly threw her mobile phone on the dining table.

“Hey, I am discussing something serious with you. Why are you bringing up the electricity bill?”

“Don’t stop. Hurry up and pay the bill. We’ll talk after you are done.”

Lin Wan shot her husband a glare, took up her phone, and continued to pay the bill. Once she was done, she said to Li Mu, “Okay, can we get down to business now?”

“Where do you want to go?”

Lin Wan rolled her eyes in anger and groaned, “You didn’t hear a word I said. Africe! Africe! Africe! Let’s go on an adventure in Africe.”

“It’s extremely hot in Africe. Why don’t we go somewhere else?”

“Hot? Just wear fewer clothes. Besides, we will stay in an air-conditioned accommodation, and the car we drive is air-conditioned. How hot can it be?”

“What should we do when we meet a lion?”

“Kill it!”

“What about a honey badger?”

“Kill it too!”

“Why do you want to go there? Are you going to Africe to harm the animals?”

“If we don’t kill them, we can run away, right?”

“Then what if we meet the natives who take you away to be the chief’s wife and force you to give birth to a bunch of mixed-race babies? Don’t you think it will be very miserable?”

“Don’t I still have you? You can protect me!”

“I’m afraid it’ll be tough. I may be taken by the chief’s wife. I will be lucky if she doesn’t eat me. There is nothing I can do.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Wan involuntarily spat out the mouthful of red wine in her mouth right on her husband’s face.

Li Mu wiped his face while complaining, “Hey, are you trying to season your husband to taste too?”

After having him mess around like this, the conversation couldn’t continue anymore. Lin Wan kicked her husband under the table, stretched out her hand, and used a fork to move the steak from Li Mu’s plate to her plate.

“Why are you taking mine away?”

“I’m not full!”

Li Mu muttered a few words and reached out for the spaghetti, but Lin Wan took the whole plate of noodles away and placed it in front of her.

“You took all my food away. What do I eat?” Li Mu asked aggrievedly.

“This is your punishment for messing around. I’ll let you starve!”

He was indeed messing around. Seeing that his wife was really angry, Li Mu had already come up with a coping strategy.

When it came to such a topic, it was not good to refuse Lin Wan directly, because it would only provoke a quarrel between them.

There was no right or wrong between a married couple. As long as it was not a matter of principle, there was no need to keep arguing about it.

In Li Mu’s eyes, Lin Wan was just screwing around. It was nice to give up everything and go on an adventure trip to Africe. But after they came back from the trip, how were they going to live in the future?

He didn’t know the background of his wife, so he didn’t know money was absolutely not a problem for them at all. To Li Mu, money was the biggest problem.

When things had got to this point, Lin Wan was also caught in a dilemma. She wanted to confess to her husband but was even more afraid to tell him the truth now.

She couldn’t control the ending after the confession. If her husband refused to forgive her, then what should she do?

She could only try to think of a way to make her husband leave with her and then slowly made him rich. Regardless of whether it was to let him pick up a wallet or win the lottery, she just had to stuff the money to him.

An adventure trip didn’t sound like a good idea. Then a ten-day trip to Euripe should be okay, right? She just had to make him leave this place first. Once he left, there would be no way for him to return.

Li Mu nodded in agreement. A short trip to Euripe sounded good. Since his wife had such a plan, he should support her as her husband.

However, he couldn’t leave at that time. He had to arrange his work properly first so that he would travel with peace of mind. How could he throw up his job when he just took office? This was definitely not in line with Li Mu’s professional ethics.

Seeing that his wife was happy, Li Mu took the opportunity to tell her frankly, “Honey, I have already thought about it carefully. I have decided to accept the job position at Dongyang Group. This family needs me to go out and earn money. Only without any financial worries can you enjoy the life of a full-time housewife.”

He originally thought that Lin Wan would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, she agreed readily. Li Mu didn’t know all her little plans. He thought that his wife had finally figured it out and was no longer swayed by emotions.

The couple finished their meal and drove home.

Not long after driving out, Li Mu asked, “Where are we going?”

Lin Wan was perplexed by her husband’s question. Where could they go at this late hour? Then, she replied plainly, “Go home!”

Li Mu hummed assent and continued to drive forward. However, after two minutes, he asked again, “Where are we going?”

“Go home. What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing. I am just casually asking!”

After a while, Li Mu turned his head again. Before he could open his mouth, Lin Wan said, “Stop asking me where we are going. Just tell me where you want to go.”

“How about going to Mozishan park?” Li Mu immediately suggested.

“Alright. Let’s go then!” Lin Wan didn’t think much and nodded in agreement.

Li Mu drove to Mozishan park. Although it was called a park, it was actually a large wasteland located in the outskirts of the city. An investor once built an amusement park here. However, the business had not been good since its opening. Therefore, the amusement park was gradually abandoned.

There were three earthen hills in the park, namely the front hill, the middle hill, and the back hill. The names were very tacky, but their locations were defined very accurately.

Li Mu drove the car to the foot of the back hill. Turning off the car engine, he said cryptically, “It’s a moonless and windy night!”

“It’s a time to commit murder and arson!” Lin Wan added.

“Nonsense. Why do you have to say such scary things? Why don’t you say having sex in the car?”

Lin Wan gave him a punch and said, “I know you have been thinking about this. I shouldn’t have teased you!”

Li Mu pounced toward her and said, “It’s too late. You have already aroused me. Prepare yourself!”
