Chapter 28: Sibling Kill

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Sibling Kill

"Ugh..." The reveille woke Gu Fuqiao up once again.

Staring blankly at the white ceiling for a while, she realized she couldn’t fall back asleep this time.

"It seems I’ve had enough rest these days; I’ve slept so much that I can’t sleep anymore!" Gu Fuqiao muttered to herself before getting up to dress.

This was the second time she’d gotten up so early since coming here!

After freshening up, she changed into simpler clothes and headed out.

Even though it was the simplest outfit from the original owner’s wardrobe, among all the family members and female workers, Gu Fuqiao was still the most fashionable-looking one.

A plain shirt, black flared pants, and a pair of white sneakers.

The flared pants looked somewhat similar to wide-leg pants from later times but were more flattering to her figure.

Gu Fuqiao went to the cafeteria, got herself a bowl of porridge and an egg, and found a corner to sit and eat.

However, as soon as she sat down, someone joined her.

"You were right indeed!" Su Jili said cautiously to Gu Fuqiao while looking around at the surrounding people.

Gu Fuqiao turned to glance at Su Jili and said, "If you’re going to talk, just talk, don’t act like a thief."

"How can I not act like one?" Su Jili lowered his voice, "That guy, Wang Chuan, is really possessed by a ghost, I’m sure he’s done something shady, as a brother, I must help him!" He said, clenching his fist.

"Hmm." Gu Fuqiao responded, hearing Su Jili’s words, she had a suspicion.

Whatever Wang Chuan had done, it was likely related to Wang Mei and mostly to deal with her.

"By the way, you’re so smart, help me think, what should I do? How can I help my foolish brother?" Su Jili suddenly tugged at Gu Fuqiao’s sleeve to ask.

"This is easy, but you absolutely must not alert him!" Gu Fuqiao thought carefully, "Do Wang Chuan and Wang Mei meet every day?"

"Not every day, but they’ve been meeting more frequently lately. Wang Chuan goes to see her whenever he’s free!" Su Jili said with gritted teeth, "I just feel that woman is no good; ever since she came for Wang Chuan, he’s been acting strange!"

Gu Fuqiao didn’t expect Su Jili to see through Wang Mei’s innocent act so easily.

She looked at Su Jili with a newfound admiration.

"Su Jili, impressive! You’ve only known her for a few years and figured all this out? Plus, Wang Mei looks so good, how could you tell she’s no good?"

"Nonsense!" Su Jili pointed at himself with his thumb, "Although I think pretty girls look nice, I’m not blind! If she were sincere with Wang Chuan, why would she talk about being siblings or something like that?"

Siblings?

That’s a classic trick of drama queens!

Being brotherly with the sidekick?

Wang Mei is really cunning!

"Hmm! Su Jili, you are indeed impressive! You shouldn’t keep being a cook squad leader!" Gu Fuqiao praised.

"I am the cook squad leader!" Su Jili rolled his eyes at Gu Fuqiao.

...

"I estimate that Wang Mei will come to see Wang Chuan again this afternoon. They have a lot of free time as literature and art soldiers, and our afternoon after we finish cooking is the most idle time." Su Jili speculated, "Do you want to come and see?"

"Of course, I want to see what tricks Yang Mei is playing." Gu Fuqiao nodded.

Because of the afternoon’s event, Gu Fuqiao didn’t nap at noon, worried she might miss the opportunity by oversleeping till five or six.

When the time was right, she immediately went downstairs towards the cafeteria, but just as she reached the cafeteria entrance, she saw Su Jili waiting for her.

"Why are you just arriving? Hurry up! Wang Chuan just left with Wang Mei!" Su Jili quickly pointed at a small path nearby.

"Did they just leave? Then we still have a chance! Let’s go quickly!" Gu Fuqiao said promptly.

Behind the cafeteria was a small grove, and after walking the path for a while, Gu Fuqiao saw Wang Mei’s figure.

"Alright, let’s stay here." Su Jili whispered to Gu Fuqiao in the smallest voice.

Gu Fuqiao nodded, and the two hid quietly in the grass like special forces soldiers.

On the other side, Wang Mei was unaware she was being watched.

She directly asked Wang Chuan, "Brother Wang Chuan, did you get the stuff you said someone would bring from Hong Kong last time?"

"Yes, but Xiao Mei, do you really want to use that?" Wang Chuan hesitated.

Hiding in the grass, Gu Fuqiao was puzzled, purchasing things from Hong Kong during this era must not be easy... And even if one were to buy something... what could be purchased from Hong Kong during a time when food was scarce?

"I don’t want to either... but Sister-in-law Gu insists on it and says she and Brother Yan have no feelings left. She wants me to help... I have no choice..." Wang Mei sighed.

Hiding in the bushes, Gu Fuqiao heard her name, suddenly alarmed!

Sure enough, Wang Mei was up to something against her, luckily she came, otherwise, she would have fallen for it!

"Hey... are they talking about you, Gu Fuqiao?" Su Jili seemed to have caught onto some juicy gossip, widening his eyes curiously at Gu Fuqiao.

"Hmm." Gu Fuqiao lightly nodded.

"Then... isn’t your husband... isn’t he King Yan!" Su Jili got a bit excited.

Gu Fuqiao worried his voice would be too loud and disturb the people inside. She quickly covered Su Jili’s mouth, nodded, and said, "Yes, but keep your voice down, if we’re discovered, not only will we not hear anything, but our reputations might also be ruined."

After speaking, Gu Fuqiao let go of Su Jili’s mouth.

"Is it really that serious?" Su Jili looked nervously at Gu Fuqiao.

At this point, Wang Mei was telling Wang Chuan earnestly, "I know helping isn’t right, but Sister-in-law Gu dislikes Brother Yan, by doing this, Sister-in-law Gu can leave here sooner!"

"You’re not wrong with that reasoning... but never again." Wang Chuan hesitated for a moment but eventually took out a dark glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Wang Mei.

"This drug is potent, one or two pills can boost excitement, my uncle said if it’s four or five, it might even be life-threatening." Wang Chuan said with embarrassment written all over his face.

However, Wang Mei showed no sign of embarrassment in her eyes, though her head was shyly lowered.

She took the medicine from Wang Chuan’s hand, smiled, and said to Wang Chuan, "Brother Wang, thank you!"

"No problem." Wang Chuan, seeing the smile on Wang Mei’s face, couldn’t help but step forward, hugging and giving her a fierce kiss!
