Chapter 384: Chapter 268: Liang Zheng

Although she was feigning unconsciousness with her eyes closed, she could feel the sea breeze and sunlight outside, the air was slightly sultry, completely different from the chilly sensation inside the warehouse just now.

She felt she was taken onto a yacht, and then the yacht set off.

The surrounding air was filled with the scent of the sea breeze.

Now they were at sea.

Where were these people taking her?

Tang Xi suddenly felt a rush of panic.

Feeling herself getting further and further away from the warehouse where she had been confined, Tang Xi felt an ominous sense of dread.

Even if the police found the warehouse, and found those trapped socialites and designers, she however...

The two men dressed in black thought Tang Xi was unconscious, so they didn’t bother to speak secretly.

"What does Miss Gao want with this woman?"

"Who knows, our job is just to get things done. Miss Gao is waiting on our side, but this journey is long, crossing the entire sea area to Xiaoliang Village."

"Several socialites disappeared all at once, the police will probably start searching soon. Miss Gao reminded us that we must not expose ourselves. We can’t let the police find out it was done by the Gao Family!"

"Don’t worry, we’ve already framed everything on Lu Feng. The Lu Family has become our scapegoat. By the time the police arrive, our hands will be clean, and it will become a matter for the Shangguan Family and the Lu Family."

"The Lu Family has some foundations in Beidao as well, they’ll end up fighting the Shangguan Family to death, and it will be the Gao Family who benefits from their conflict. I must say, Young Master Gao and Miss Gao have played this move very cleverly."

"But I can’t figure it out. How did Lu Feng agree to this? He is Young Master Lu’s personal assistant. What kind of method did Young Master Gao use to win him over?"

"Nothing but money, power, women, that’s all."

"We just take the money and do the job, nothing else matters."

All of this was heard by Tang Xi.

A chill went through her heart.

The journey on the water was bumpy, by the time they arrived, it was already very late.

The sky had darkened.

By estimation, they had been on their way for six to seven hours.

A strong smell of fish wafted through the air, this must be Xiaoliang Village, a place that didn’t even fall under the jurisdiction of Beidao.

The exact location, one could only say it was a fishing village around Beidao.

Tang Xi had never been to such a place.

Tang Xi was locked up.

Once the door was closed, and the two men left, Tang Xi opened her eyes.

She was in an adobe house.

The furnishings around her were simple: a small bed, a small table, a chair, and hardly any other furniture. The furniture was crude, there was one window, but it was up high, and she needed to stand on a chair to reach it.

Just then, she heard noises outside.

Before Tang Xi could react, the door was opened.

An elderly grandmother walked in, her hair gray and her form hunched. Seeing that Tang Xi was awake, she was not surprised, and shakily brought over a supper — rice with green vegetables and a cup of water.

Tang Xi eyed her warily.

The old grandmother spoke in an aged, hoarse voice, "Eat something now that you’re awake, and stay put here from now on. Tomorrow, I will let the village chief marry you to my grandson Liang Zheng."

Tang Xi was utterly stunned.

What?

"Who are you? Where is this place? Where are the two people who brought me here just now? What do you want to do?" Tang Xi bombarded with questions. She thought it was Gao Youhan who had someone take her away to teach her a lesson, and did not expect that when she woke up, instead of seeing Gao Youhan, she saw the old grandmother in front of her?

And something about witnessing a marriage?

Tang Xi couldn’t catch up with the rapid succession of events.

All this had happened too quickly.

The old lady glanced at Tang Xi and seemed to be very satisfied with her looks.

"Fair and tender, just the perfect match for my grandson. We might not have much money in the family, but as long as you live a good life with my grandson, that should be enough."

Tang Xi ignored her and directly pushed past her to leave.

The old woman was aged and lacked the strength.

Tang Xi easily walked out.

A simple small courtyard.

A row of firewood stacks was placed at the entrance.

The old grandma chased after Tang Xi from behind, but without any hesitation, Tang Xi opened the door and ran out. Outside was a small alley, and it had already turned dark. The air carried a decaying fishy smell, making Tang Xi convinced that this was a small fishing village where every family depended on fishing for their livelihood.

She didn’t get far.

The old grandma shouted from behind, "Someone come, someone come, my grandson’s wife has run away, someone come."

In an instant, several doors nearby opened, and men and women, young and old, from the village came out, blocking Tang Xi’s path.

"Feng Granny, where did you find such a pretty granddaughter-in-law? She looks quite nice."

"Thinking of leaving after coming to our village? Young girl, don’t go, just stay in our village."

"Feng Granny, your grandson is a fool. Why would he need such a beautiful wife? Better give her to me, I’ve been single for forty years."

Seeing so many people blocking her way, Tang Xi panicked in an instant.

She quickly glanced left and right and ran in the opposite direction, but it was in vain.

The people in this village seemed especially ’united’.

Tang Xi’s attempt to escape was futile. She looked at Feng Granny, "Who are you, and what exactly do you want to do? Do you know this is illegal? You are kidnapping me!! I want to call the police!!"

"I won’t mistreat you, young lady. Here in Xiaoliang Village, you won’t lack food or drink. My family may be poor, but the fishing season is coming. Once we earn some money, it will be enough to support you and Liang Zheng." Feng Granny made a gesture, and immediately two people grabbed Tang Xi and took her back to the house she just left.

"If you don’t obey, I’ll tie up your hands and feet. If you behave, I won’t tie you up. The choice is yours."

Tang Xi pursed her lips, struggling against the hemp rope on her wrist.

This time, the rope was tied very tightly, not the loose and casual tying from before.

Tang Xi had no room for choice; she tried to calm herself down.

Right now, all she needed to do was to protect herself.

Then slowly look for opportunities.

Tang Xi nodded, feigning compliance, "Then untie the rope on my wrists. Everyone here is from your village, I can’t run away. Even if I did escape, I would be brought back by the people at the village entrance."

Only then did Feng Granny nod and helped untie Tang Xi’s ropes, "That’s more like it."

"Liang Zheng, come here, this will be your wife from now on." Feng Granny called out, and a young man walked over. The young man was in his early twenties, fair and clean-looking, with a tiger-toothed grin when he smiled. However, he seemed somewhat foolish, obviously simple-minded.

"My name is Liang Zheng, what is your name?" The young man greeted with a smile, like a kindergarten child.
