"Ah..." Shen Lu was shocked and opened her mouth to call for help, but the man covered her mouth tightly.
"Don't shout, it's me!"
Shen Lu looked closely and met a generic face wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this person was the original owner's elopement partner.
It couldn't be a runaway partner, but this man promised to find her a new identity and then secretly take her away to a place where no one knew her.
The original owner believed him.
The man said that his only condition was that the original owner of this body help him complete one task.
This matter involved helping him get into the family compound.
The residential compound is guarded by sentries, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Unless it's someone living in the family compound who brings people in through a registration relationship.
The naive original owner didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
The day she transmigrated was the day the original owner and that man planned to move into the family compound together.
That's how the scene of the time travel happened. In order to cover the man's escape, the original owner was hit by a car and knocked to the ground in a panic.
Unexpectedly, the man was persistent and found Shen Lu again.
Unlike the original owner, Shen Lu was not careless. As an important gathering place for military families, the family compound could not be entered or exited casually.
This person's motives are clearly malicious.
But since she had already become involved with him, she couldn't clear herself off anytime soon.
Shen Lu recalled the contents of the book, where the man had targeted Wen Xin'er, who lived in the same family compound, after Shen Lu was sent to the hospital.
Based on various details, Wenxin quickly uncovered the man's identity as a spy.
So she pretended to agree to the man's request, and finally lured him into a trap she had already set, whereupon she joined forces with other family members in the compound to capture the spy.
As a result, Wenxin'er won a large number of awards. It was from this event that Wenxin'er gradually rose through the ranks and reached the pinnacle of her life.
Shen Lu only wanted to be an ordinary person and had no intention of stealing the spotlight from the protagonist, but this matter endangered her life.
This matter is like a knife hanging over my head.
According to the original book's progression, the person the man should be waiting for at this point should be Wen Xin'er.
However, because she traveled through time, she changed the original plot of the book, and the person the man was waiting for became her.
If he didn't report the spy, he would be arrested and imprisoned for treason, which would be considered an accomplice to the spy.
With both witnesses and physical evidence, she will be unable to defend herself no matter how she tries to explain.
Therefore, Shen Lu only has one path at the moment.
That is to pretend to agree to a man's request, then expose him and clear your name.
He explained to everyone that he had only pretended to agree to his request, and that he did so only to find out the spy.
However, Shen Lu still lacks crucial evidence to prove that he is a spy.
Currently, Shen Lu can only play along and see if she can find any clues or evidence.
Shen Lu said, "You promised that I would take you into the family compound, and after you came out, you would take me away from this place."
"Definitely." The man's eyes narrowed into slits, his calculations hidden deep within.
"But this time, we can't go in through the main gate. I'll take you around through the small hill behind the residential compound."
The man hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing: "Okay."
*
On the way back, Wenxin pondered why Shen Lu had changed so much in just a few days, as if she were a completely different person.
I used to always have her completely outmaneuvered, but today she tricked me.
Wenxin was pondering as she walked towards the family compound when she suddenly saw a man and a woman pulling at each other at the corner.
Even though she didn't want to identify who they were, her obese figure made her recognize the woman as Shen Lu at a glance.
Wenxin recalled her neighbor's description: before Shen Lu was hit by the car, she was seen arguing with a man wearing glasses.
Wenxin'er hid not far away and observed carefully. She saw the two of them walk together toward the back mountain of the family compound.
Could it be that Shen Lu still wants to elope with this man?
This surprising discovery made Wenxin'er's heart pound; it was enough to ruin Shen Lu's reputation.
She absolutely would not allow such a fat and stupid woman to step on her head.
Wenxin made up her mind and walked into the family compound.
She wanted to report Shen Lu.
Let the people in the family compound know what kind of person Shen Lu is!
To ruin Shen Lu's reputation!
Wenxin moved quickly, afraid that the two would get away, and almost ran into the family compound.

In the family compound, Gu Xingyu was wrestling with a group of children.
Gu Xingze fell to the side, his knee scraped and bleeding.
Even though the boy was being beaten by Gu Xingyu, he still kept talking.
"Don't deny it, your mom just wants to run off with someone else and doesn't want the two of you anymore."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart." Gu Xingyu's movements became increasingly violent.
"Then tell me where your mother went."
Gu Xingyu pursed his lips and remained silent, his movements becoming increasingly forceful.
The woman hadn't returned all morning, and the twins' unease grew.
They weren't sure if Shen Lu would ever come back.
Finally, other parents discovered that they were fighting.
A woman looked closely and realized it was her son. She immediately rushed forward, pushed Gu Xingyu away, and hugged her son tightly in her arms, checking him over carefully, afraid that something might happen to him.
Gu Xingyu, who hadn't cried even after being beaten, had tears welling up in his eyes when he saw this scene.
When his mother arrived, the little boy was gone. His previous arrogance vanished, and he hid in her arms, wailing and crying, accusing Gu Xingze of his brutality.
The woman didn't care who was right or wrong. Seeing her son bullying them and taking advantage of the fact that the twins had no one to back them up, she started hurling insults at them.
"Your mother is just a wild woman who only thinks about running off with other men. She gave birth to two wild children like you, who bite people everywhere like mad dogs. The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked too."
Gu Xingze clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at the woman, who was actually intimidated by the gaze of a five-year-old child.
Gu Xingze retorted loudly.
"She's not like that at all. She cooked us delicious meals and even kissed us."
"..." The woman was about to say something when Wenxin'er ran over from a distance and shouted.
"I saw Shen Lu and a man acting suspiciously as they went to the back mountain. Is Comrade Shen in any danger? Should we go and help her?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, attracting the attention of many people in the residential compound.
We're all adults, so of course we understand what those words mean.
Shen Lu is preparing to run away with her lover!
"I told you so, didn't I? Your mom ran off with someone else, hehehe."
The boy was making faces at Gu Xingyu while in his mother's arms.
Gu Xingyu remained completely unresponsive, standing there as if he had lost his soul.
Could it be that the woman really doesn't want him and his brother anymore?
Was everything yesterday a lie, just to make it easier for them to leave?
