Chapter 646: Mutual utilization

After driving for two hours, Chen Meng drove off the highway at a highway exit I was very unfamiliar with.

After driving for another half hour, a big mountain appeared in front of me, with a winding road, the road surface was rugged and uneven, and two tire tracks obviously left on a rainy day extended into the mountain.

Chen Meng focused on driving, and I wasn't idle either, watching the road surface, occasionally reminding her to pay attention to big pits or protruding stones.

I didn't know who she was taking me to see, but I had already guessed it eight or nine times out of ten in my heart.

Sure enough, after turning around a mountain mouth, Chen Meng stopped the car by the roadside, opened the door and went down, found a smooth stone to sit on, looked up at the blue sky, and said nothing.

I followed her down, first found a place with my back to her, had a good pee, then walked behind her and asked: "Why don't you go anymore?"

Chen Meng sighed, looked up at me and said: "Chen Feng, you say, justice and family affection, which is more important?"

"Of course it's justice!" I blurted out, then laughed again: "However, family affection is also very important."

She looked at me seriously and said: "Are you speaking from the heart?"

I smiled guiltily, avoided her gaze and said: "I never tell lies."

"I believe you!" She sighed heavily again, stood up and said: "Let's go."

"Where exactly are you taking me?" I asked suspiciously.

"Are you afraid I'll sell you?" She laughed, but I clearly saw that her smile was full of helplessness and desolation.

"No!" I teased her: "In such mountains, many men don't have wives. A beauty like you can be sold for a good price."

"How dare you!" She raised her small fist to hit me. The fist fell on my chest, not feeling pain, but a soft numbness that instantly flowed through my whole body.

I grabbed her small fist and said: "If you hit me again, I'll really sell you."

She gave me a white look and whispered: "Can you bear to?"

My head went "Boom," and her words really hit my heart. Could I bear to?

"I can bear to!" I teased her: "You said I'm a pervert. For the sake of my innocence, I must sell you."

She looked up at me, her face flushed, and said in a voice almost like a mosquito: "I didn't say it wrong."

After saying this, she suddenly shook off my hand, ran a few steps, climbed into the car, started the car, and drove forward.

This scared me quite a bit. If she left me alone in this place where there was no village in front and no shop behind, even if I shouted until my throat broke, no one would pay attention to me. Even if I didn't starve to death, I would die of thirst.

And judging by Chen Meng's personality, she could completely do such a thing.

The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, so I chased after her car and ran wildly.

She seemed to have discovered that I was chasing, slowed down the car to wait for me for a while, and when I was about to catch up to the tail of the car, she stepped on the accelerator again, threw me far away, and then jumped out of the car, looking at me chasing and running in a mess with a laugh.

I shouted angrily: "Mengmeng, wait for me, wait for me!"

She turned a deaf ear and occasionally threw over a string of laughter.

After chasing for a mile, I was already panting.

Looking at the car with flashing tail lights in front, I had no strength to chase anymore. I sighed and thought, I have been wise for a lifetime, but I still capsized in the gutter of a little girl!

I won't chase anymore!

I sat down on a patch of grass by the roadside. Just then, a breeze blew, and my sweaty back felt cool instantly. I lay on my back, pulled a dogtail grass and held it in my mouth, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and began to sing loudly.

I heard an engine sound in my ears, and then I saw Chen Meng's car had reversed back. She sat in the car, looking at me with a smile and said: "Chen Feng, you can't do it anymore!"

I angrily didn't look at her and popped out a sentence: "I'm not your husband, whether I can do it or not is none of your business."

She laughed, and I saw her jump out of the car with my peripheral vision, also pull a dogtail grass and hold it in her mouth, slowly walk to my side, and sit down next to me.

"Angry?" She pushed me lightly.

I deliberately turned my body away and ignored her words.

"A big man, angry about this little thing?" She kicked my butt with her toe and said: "If you don't speak again, I'll really leave you behind."

I said "Um," and while she wasn't paying attention, I suddenly turned around, grabbed her arm, and looked at her with a sinister smile: "Are you still running?"

She didn't struggle, let me grab her arm, and her eyebrows frowned slightly. She was obviously hurt by me!

"Does it hurt?" I asked with a heartache, and hurriedly let go.

She smiled faintly, spat out the dogtail grass in her mouth, and leaned her body toward me.

I had to open my arms, hug her body, and stop talking.

Time flowed slowly beside us. We sat on the grass, leaning against each other, and the sound of pine waves came into our ears, occasionally a few bird calls.

The world felt very quiet, and my heart was also very quiet. Chen Meng in my arms had closed her eyes and soon made a slight snoring sound.

She was too tired! I looked at her slightly tired face, thinking about the various pressures she had experienced during this period, and the anger accumulated from chasing the car vanished instantly.

I didn't dare to move at all, letting her sleep sweetly in my arms.

Half an hour later, she opened her eyes, smiled weakly, sat up from my arms, and said apologetically: "Sorry! Kept you waiting."

My body had become stiff because I had maintained a posture for a long time. At this time, I wanted to stand up, but felt weak in my hands and feet.

She reached out to hold me and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." I shook my arms and kicked my legs and said: "My blood circulation was blocked just now."

Getting into the car again, Chen Meng didn't rush to drive, sat for a long time before saying: "I will handle this matter today."

I understood what she was talking about, but I didn't want to say it directly. Instead, I pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What matter?"

"Su Ya's matter."

I said "Oh," and asked in confusion: "We came here now just to see them?"

She nodded slightly and said: "Yes."

"Why did you arrange for them to come here?" I asked confusedly.

"This is a forest farm contracted by a relative of a colleague of mine. Arranging for them to stay here is naturally out of consideration for safety." Chen Meng smiled shallowly and said: "Do you think Su Ya and the others can still stay in Hengyue City? The son of the Provincial Propaganda Minister almost lost his life in Hengyue City. As for the three weak women, it's not as simple as crushing three ants?"

I asked in astonishment: "Are you talking about Xu Mengda?"

Chen Meng nodded and said: "Aside from him, who else could it be?"

"You know each other?"

"Can we not know each other?" Chen Meng laughed: "Can a person who can put all the advertising resources of the whole province into his pocket be a simple person?"

"I don't quite understand." I said bluntly.

"You don't need to understand either. If you understood everything, you wouldn't have reached this point." Chen Meng started the car and glanced at me: "Actually, we are all small pawns in this game of chess. We can't see the people who are really playing chess at all."

My curiosity arose, and I chased her and asked: "Mengmeng, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Actually, it's very simple!" Chen Meng sighed deeply and said: "People in the world come for profit, and go for profit. Someone cut off someone else's financial path, and the person whose financial path was cut off will naturally retaliate. Who would have expected that in the process of retaliation, they found that it was not a quick revenge, but discovered another shocking secret. At this time, they wanted to stop but it was already too late. We are just two strange soldiers who suddenly popped out in this game. Therefore, while we are using others, others are also using us."

"I'm confused." I said, feeling my head about to split.

"You don't have to be confused either." Chen Meng laughed lightly and said: "Everything is over. Because of you!"

"Because of me?" I was shocked.

"It's because of you." Her mood seemed to be much better: "If you hadn't popped out, maybe this would be the climax of the slaughter."

"What does it have to do with me?" I suddenly felt uneasy.

"If you hadn't caught a person named Lao Can, no one would know the secret of Chunshan County. Even if someone knew, no one would go to uncover the lid."

"Lao Can is a crime!" I said, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke out of the car window.

Chen Meng took the cigarette from my hand, took a puff, and handed it back to me: "Your appearance disrupted other people's plans."

"The other people you are talking about, is it Xu Mengda?"

Chen Meng smiled and said nothing.

"How do you know everything?" I asked suspiciously: "Where did you get this news?"

"Did you forget what I do?"

"Aren't you just a reporter? You are not a public security officer." I suddenly felt a trace of humiliation spreading quietly in my heart.

"That's right. Just because I am a reporter, it is easier for me to get what I want than anyone else." Chen Meng finally started the car and drove towards a big mountain in front.

"But this matter has nothing to do with you!" I muttered.

"Originally it had nothing to do with me, but I can't stand the weak. If I hadn't met Su Ya, the things that followed wouldn't have happened."

"Are you fighting for justice?" I asked hesitantly.

"You could say that!" She honked the horn and looked ahead: "I originally thought that there must be fairness and justice in this world. Humanity that loses fairness and justice will be the beginning of a catastrophe. Maybe I can't do anything, but I can influence a little bit, even if it's only a little bit, my conscience won't be condemned."

I asked: "Did you do it?"

She shook her head and said: "No! Still because of you."

"What happened to me again?"

"Because of you, I decided to give up!"

"Why?"

"I don't want your path forward to be full of thorns. Only if I give up will everything return to the starting point."

My heart felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. Chen Meng's words made me feel flattered, and also made me feel like I was carrying an invisible shackle.

What she called giving up was giving up the fairness and justice she pursued all her life. If a person gives up their ideals, this not only requires courage, but more importantly, it requires the soul to be baptized again.

I became uneasy, and my heart sank into the water again.

Looking at the mountain road ahead, I felt lost. ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
