I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 302 - 283: Run, Go Ahead and Run_2

Unexpectedly, while he was calculating in his mind, someone observed him from above.

Thinking of escaping, huh? Then I won’t be polite!

Before long, Jiang Mingyue emerged from the woods, dragging a spotted snake in her hand, and upon seeing the snake, Lv Yan’s honest face crumbled.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

An Jian wanted to cover his ears; it was too piercing!

Jiang Mingyue gave An Jian a look, An Jian instantly understood.

She placed the snake in front of Lv Yan, who cried and flailed chaotically, but with An Jian’s absolute suppression, where could he escape? The snake’s head touched his face, and the slippery sensation made him wish for death.

"Tsk! You’re indeed afraid of snakes. Luckily, I’m a person of principle. As long as you don’t run away and obediently push the cart, I promise the snake won’t come near you. But if..."

"Comrade, I was wrong earlier. I promise I won’t run away again. I’ll do whatever you say, and definitely won’t feign obedience while acting otherwise." He just begged not to see snakes again. From a young age, he run from snakes; while others avoided them, he was so scared he’d go limp. He even fainted as a child, and his father went to summon his soul. As he grew, he got stronger, but seeing snakes would still make him tremble. This girl must be a devil.

Jiang Mingyue put away the snake, wrapping it in a grass basket in the bike frame.

"Since you’ve promised, I’ll believe you for now. Don’t let me down. After all, I’m an expert snake catcher; even venomous ones are no problem."

Lv Yan: "... Can you stop mentioning snakes?" I’m begging you, be a decent person!

"Ha! You dare make demands? With things developing to this point, isn’t it your fault?"

Lv Yan completely fell silent, realizing that whether escaping or speaking, he couldn’t gain any advantage over these two.

From then on, Lv Yan behaved himself.

An Jian finally got to chat with his brother.

"How did you know he was afraid of snakes?"

Jiang Mingyue gave him a look, and An Jian read: Are you stupid or am I?

An Jian: "... I really want to learn humbly."

"Oh, then I’ll tell you. It was Village Chief Li who said so!"

Only then did An Jian remember, Village Chief Li had seen Lv Yan, and at that time, he was scared to tears by a spotted snake.

An Jian felt it was hard to fathom: "Village Chief Li was talking nonsense, you believed him?"

"Hey, wasn’t it quite effective?" After all, people who aren’t afraid of snakes are rare.

An Jian immediately fell silent.

"You tell me what you’ve seen first."

From the beginning, Gan Institute paired her with An Jian, Jiang Mingyue knew how to cooperate with him.

And spared no details.

"The father-son duo has been bartering for years, but aside from this, Father Lv isn’t involved. Lv Yan has committed more sins, but he isn’t with Black Phoenix. He has dealings with Liu Chu, yet he doesn’t know Liu Chu’s true face, nor does he know about Liu Chu’s affairs. To be precise, he was tricked by Liu Chu, but Liu Chu paid him, showing up only when Liu Chu got tired of handling Li Hongmei."

"Was Li Hongmei’s death unrelated to him?"

"He tore off the pearl, also took another one, intending to gift it to his childhood sweetheart Qingmei from the village."

An Jian: "... How can someone like him have a childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, we didn’t meet her today, she’s diligent, always working in the field."

Isn’t your focus a bit skewed?

"... After Liu Chu slept with her, Li Hongmei demanded from her father, Li Youcai, so Liu Chu had Lv Yan come over, while Liu Chu himself disappeared..." Simply put, Liu Chu sought Li Hongmei just to ease his body, but because he had secrets fearing exposure, he straightforwardly let Lv Yan take his place.

Just a tool; as long as there’s money, he’ll do anything, without picky choices.

Lv Yan normally came and didn’t communicate much with Li Hongmei, staying by himself in the yard to sunbathe.

Li Hongmei got dressed and came out, suddenly disparaging "Liu Er" for not giving her status or caring for her, annoying Lv Yan. Compared with his quiet childhood sweetheart, Li Hongmei was much like an old hen in the village, extremely annoying.

Then they argued, escalating to the point of physical altercation, Lv Yan felt he couldn’t stay, went to pack up to leave, not expecting Li Hongmei to chase inside and pull him back, they both fell on the bed. Lv Yan’s finger was scratched by Li Hongmei’s earring, and soon, small blood beads appeared. Lv Yan felt that seeing blood today was a bad omen, according to his grandmother, he should control the source, absorb the energy, and gift it to the most cared-for person to bring back good fortune.
