Su Fan was stunned as he looked at Bai Man squatting on the ground.
Bai Man's face turned red, and she looked away guiltily.
Without time to think further, Su Fan grabbed the man's wrist. Having learned traditional Chinese medicine from his grandfather since he was young, Su Fan immediately came to a conclusion.
"Too much excitement, coupled with the difficulty in breathing due to the nose being covered, has caused a sudden cardiac arrest... but there's still hope..."
Speaking, he began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the middle-aged man.
"Cough cough cough..."
Soon, the young man coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.
"I... I was forced, she... she forced me, spare me, please spare me."
Without waiting to see clearly who was in front of him, the young man immediately knelt on the ground and began kowtowing for mercy.
"You..."
Bai Man, who was somewhat worried about the young man, immediately turned deathly pale upon hearing these words.
"Useless trash..."
A sharp rebuke startled the young man awake.
He lifted his head and saw that it wasn't Bai Man's husband, Li Jian, in front of him.
Thinking of his embarrassing situation, the man became infuriated and raised his fist to strike at Su Fan.
Su Fan, with quick reflexes, grasped the man's wrist.
With a crack, the man's right arm was immediately dislocated, followed by two more punches that smashed into his face.
"Ow, stop hitting me, big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The man begged for mercy once again.
"Spineless coward."
Bai Man was fuming with anger to the side.
"Get lost..."
The man immediately picked up his clothes and hurriedly fled.
Watching the man's retreating figure, Bai Man felt a mix of sadness, anger, and relief in her heart.
Fortunately, she hadn't completely given herself over to such a wretch.
"But now that this country bumpkin has stumbled upon my secret, how can I seal his mouth?"
Bai Man narrowed her eyes at Su Fan, her gaze carrying a strange hue.
Several minutes later.
In the guest room.
Bai Man had changed into a loose pullover sweater, jeans, and with her hair put up high and glasses on, she had regained the look of an educated woman, her demeanor also very aloof. It was hard to associate her with the lascivious woman she had been earlier.
Dressed in ragged clothes, Su Fan stood with his canvas bag near the door, appearing very restrained and anxious.
He came to seek a future with his cousin, but having accidentally stumbled upon his cousin's wife's secret, could he still stay here?
"We've met before, haven't we?"
Bai Man crossed her legs, peeling an orange, and asked Su Fan coldly.
As if Su Fan was the one who had done something wrong.
With no choice but to bow his head under someone else's roof, Su Fan honestly explained.
"My name is Su Fan, I'm from Taohua Village. Li Jian is my cousin. We've met before when you visited the village with him!"
"Oh."
"Su Fan, yes, your cousin mentioned you were coming to our house," Bai Man nodded.
Suddenly, she asked another question.
"Do you think I'm a promiscuous slut?"
The cold words made Su Fan's heart skip a beat, and he dared not respond.
Bai Man's tone turned even colder.
"You have seen my body. Now, if I call the police and say you raped me, who do you think they will believe, you or me?"
"No, no, no, I... I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..."
Su Fan, who had grown up in the mountains without parents and raised by his grandfather, had never faced such a situation and was so frightened that his voice quivered with a crying tone.
"Thud."
Su Fan knelt on the ground and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Auntie, I've been without parents since I was a child, and last month I lost the grandfather who raised me. I really had no other choice but to come to the city to seek help from my cousin and find work to get by. Please... please spare me..."
Although Bai Man initially intended only to scare Su Fan, she hadn't expected him to be so timid. Seeing the tearful look in Su Fan's eyes, her heart softened a bit, and she handed him two tissues.
Su Fan reached out to take them, but at that moment, Bai Man suddenly grasped Su Fan's hand.
Before Su Fan could react further, Bai Man pulled him against her chest. The soft sensation made Su Fan's head buzz as if it was about to burst.
"Tell me, what do you think auntie should do so that you will keep my secret?"
Those fox-like eyes were full of seductive intent as they gazed at Su Fan.
