Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Liu Qiushui

Fan Guohai had really drunk too much and had forcibly gathered his spirits to speak. After finishing, he collapsed entirely, intoxicated.

Originally, Fan Guohai had thought to impart some strategies, but under the influence of so much alcohol, he couldn’t muster the energy at all and passed out in a moment.

Looking at the sleeping man, his woman revealed a complex expression on her face.

This woman, named Liu Qiushui, was an outsider in the town and one of the few non-local residents. Due to her striking beauty, Fan Guohai had quickly taken notice of her. At that time, Fan Guohai’s wife had just died, so he coerced the Liu Family into marrying Liu Qiushui to him.

Liu Qiushui had struggled, but facing Fan Guohai’s power, her family had no means to resist, and furthermore, her father had been beaten until his legs were broken.

Her father had his legs broken, and her older brother was even falsely accused and arrested.

Everything was orchestrated by Fan Guohai, who made it clear to her that if she refused to marry him, her brother would inevitably remain imprisoned, her father would continue to suffer, and her entire family would be annihilated.

Seeing this situation and thinking of her family, Liu Qiushui had no choice but to agree to marry Fan Guohai.

In this town, many who resisted met with terrible fates. Liu Qiushui observed this and knew that the only thing she could do for her family was to endure the humiliation and hardship.

Liu Qiushui, being intelligent, understood that to protect her family, she had to obey Fan Guohai. Since she began to help him devise plans, she gradually gained his trust.

Initially, Fan Guohai was cautious around Liu Qiushui, but gradually, he began to trust her. Considering her ingenuity in many schemes, he even started to value her and relied on her to devise plans, allowing Liu Qiushui to enter his inner circle.

Then, Liu Qiushui discovered a shocking fact—that Fan Guohai and a few other outsiders were actually members of the Huang Family. They and the residents of Huang Family were related, and it was impossible for the town to be entirely governed by family members, so these outsiders had been discreetly supported. On the surface, it appeared they were at odds with Huang Song, but in reality, they were colluding and controlled Kuzhu Town altogether.

After uncovering this, Liu Qiushui became desperate, knowing she could never contend with these people.

However, the arrival of Ji Yang today had given her hope in escaping their control.

She knew that Huang Song and others planned to act against Ji Yang. Initially, she didn’t want to intervene, but after seeing Ji Yang follow her home and even sleep in her bed, she began to have ideas.

Thinking of how Gao Changjun was guarding Ji Yang’s door, Liu Qiushui wasn’t in a rush. She took a specially made incense and lit it.

This incense, a unique creation of the Liu Family, had a soporific effect. She had never mentioned it before because she had thought of using it to kill Fan Guohai and his cohorts.

As the incense burned, even the vigilant Gao Changjun hadn’t anticipated someone using this kind of incense against him. Moreover, he had indeed drunk quite a bit today, and now he was barely keeping his eyes open.

Seeing that Gao Changjun had been genuinely drugged into unconsciousness, Liu Qiushui walked past him, listened around, and looked to confirm that no one else was nearby before entering the house.

Inside, Liu Qiushui saw Ji Yang sleeping there.

At that sight, her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Secretary Ji was young and handsome, and even in sleep, he maintained a unique charisma that was genuinely attractive to women.

Pretending to be drunk, Ji Yang had purposely disheveled himself. Due to the hot weather, his clothes could hardly cover his body, revealing a young, robust physique, exuding a wild power.
