Reported

Based on minor details, Li Feifei had quickly discovered that he was a spy, then lured him into exposing his weaknesses and cooperated with the villagers to capture him. Thanks to this, the female protagonist received a grand reward, stepping onto the peak of her life from then on.

Du Yueyao had no intention of stealing the female protagonist's spotlight, but this matter concerned her very life. If she did not report this spy, she would be deemed an accomplice to treason and thrown into prison. When that time came, with both physical evidence and witnesses stacked against her, no amount of explanation would save her.

Therefore, she currently had only one path: to expose him to clear her name, while explaining that her past actions were all to uncover the spy.

However, Du Yueyao still lacked the key evidence to prove he was a spy. At this moment, she could only fight fire with fire—pretending to cooperate, accompanying him to find the stone chamber, and looking for an opportunity to secure decisive proof.

"You promised that once we find the stone chamber, you will take me back to the city."

"Of course." The man wore a gentle smile, but without looking closely, one would never notice the sinister glint hidden deep within his eyes.

***

Li Feifei returned from the fields with a gloomy expression.

She did not understand what was wrong with herself either. Seeing Du Yueyao and Gu Si so intimate made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. She had clearly known long ago that he was a married man, yet she still could not help but fall for him.

If only Du Yueyao would just disappear!

Li Feifei walked toward the youth hostel for educated youth. Suddenly, at a bend in the road, she saw a man and a woman pulling at each other.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Du Yueyao and an unfamiliar man. In Li Feifei's mind, the image that the villagers had previously described immediately surfaced—the man Du Yueyao was having an affair with.

A man wearing glasses.

Very few people in the village wore glasses, so Li Feifei recognized him instantly. Her expression shifted slightly as she suddenly understood. It turned out Du Yueyao was deliberately acting weak and submissive just to make everyone let their guard down, so she could secretly run away with that man!

This unexpected discovery made Li Feifei's heart race.

She could pretend she hadn't seen anything, letting that man take Du Yueyao away to disappear from Gu Si's sight forever.

But then she remembered the intimate scene of the two in the fields earlier, and jealousy spread through her mind like wildly growing vines.

Li Feifei gritted her teeth and turned back, quickening her pace. She wanted to expose Du Yueyao. She wanted Gu Si and the villagers to see what kind of woman Du Yueyao truly was, ruining her reputation completely!

Li Feifei walked very fast. A journey that usually took half an hour took her less than fifteen minutes to return.

Under the sunlight, Gu Si was swinging his scythe. His broad shoulders, narrow waist, and strong, robust physique made Li Feifei dazed for a moment. She briefly imagined herself turning into droplets of sweat on his body, flowing down his firm muscles.

Li Feifei quickly patted her face, forcing herself to wake up. Once she was sure she had calmed down, she slowly walked over to strike up a conversation with Gu Si.

"Brother Gu Si, I have something to tell you, though I don't know if I should."

Gu Si stopped his work and turned around, only to see an unfamiliar girl standing before him, wearing an inscrutable smile.

Gu Si frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

This single question left Li Feifei frozen in place with embarrassment. She had always considered herself pure and beautiful, the dream girl of many young men in the village, and she had passed in front of Gu Si quite a few times while recording work points.

Yet he didn't even know who she was! He must be doing it on purpose!

Li Feifei bit her lip, her hatred for Du Yueyao intensifying. However, she quickly composed herself. After all, who would bother arguing with a woman who was about to be caught red-handed in an affair by her husband!

Li Feifei squeezed out a stiff smile and went straight to the point. "Brother Gu Si, you can just call me Feifei. When I was heading back just now, I caught Sister Du Yueyao behaving sneakily with a man, and I don't know what they're up to. I didn't see the two children anywhere, so I got worried and came to inform you."

Li Feifei deliberately spoke loudly. The surrounding villagers standing nearby heard her loud and clear.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly. Just moments ago, Du Yueyao had brought the two children to deliver food and mung bean soup to Gu Si, making everyone believe she had truly turned over a new leaf and wanted to live a proper life.
