I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Believe in Science

After realizing that a burglar had broken into her house, Suizi thought of a series of countermeasures.

Normally, the best course of action for a single woman encountering a home invasion would be to escape.

Suizi guessed blindly that her front door was likely locked from the outside.

The thief must have hopped over the wall to get in. The two neighboring houses belonged to teachers who were away during the day, so she could not run out.

If the thief was only after property, it was acceptable to feign sleep and give up some belongings to ensure safety.

Fighting with the thief was the worst possible course of action, especially for someone like Suizi who had no fighting experience and was pregnant. If she infuriated the intruder and he stabbed her stomach, she would be in big trouble.

Suizi turned her body so that her back faced the room door, and kept her breathing even as if she were asleep.

She heard the thief’s footsteps get closer, he pushed open the door to her room and came in!

Suizi’s heart was now leaping into her throat.

A regular thief would start rummaging for valuables on seeing someone asleep in the house.

But this thief did not do that, he stood at the door and called her name.

"Tiegen’s wife, are you asleep?"

That voice!!

Suizi found the voice familiar, but couldn’t place it right away. It was definitely someone she knew. But who could it be?

"Don’t blame me for being ruthless. Your husband really left us no choice!"

The burglar said as he walked towards the bed.

Suizi couldn’t pretend anymore, she sat up abruptly, giving the burglar a fright.

"It’s you?!"

"You’re not sleeping!!" Yang Wei, seeing Suizi awake, was scared and almost dropped his knife.

Seeing him holding the knife, Suizi’s heart skipped a beat.

Yang Wei wasn’t a big man. His height was about the same as Suizi’s, relatively short among men.

If Suizi hadn’t been pregnant, she might have been able to fight him, but now, there was no chance of her fighting him.

"Yang Wei, what are you planning to do?" Suizi suppressed the fear in her heart and forced herself to stay calm.

"I want your money! And I want you!"

"???" Suizi was flabbergasted.

Her first reaction was to look at her belly.

"I’m fat, and also pregnant, what are you after?"

"Your husband has been making things difficult for us in the village, tormenting my father. After much thought, this is the only way left!"

The Yang Family dared not harm Suizi too much lest they be found out by Yu Jingting; their whole family would be at risk then.

After a family discussion, they came up with this rotten idea.

Since the mother and daughter of the Yu Family were busy in the village and Suizi was alone at home, they had ample opportunity.

The Yang Family believed that as long as Suizi was harmed by Yang Wei, she certainly wouldn’t dare to tell Jingting. Given Jingting’s temper, he might kill her upon finding out -- this was what the Yang Family thought.

Thus, Suizi, in order to keep the secret, would have to pay them money and also put in a few good words for them in front of Jingting.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing Yang Wei’s words, Suizi more or less guessed what they were up to, and it nearly made her sick.

Truly, one couldn’t fathom the hearts of wicked people. Their hearts were even filthier than sewage pits.

"I won’t hurt you as long as you cooperate –" Yang Wei, who initially had little interest in Suizi since she was pregnant, felt somewhat wronged when he first came.

But being alone in a room with her now, he thought that the woman before him looked adorable in her sleepy state, her skin as white as egg whites, her features delicate, and she exuded an air of elegance from her brows and eyes.

She was much prettier than the village girls.

He was genuinely interested.

Afraid that Suizi might resist, Yang Wei took out a rope he had prepared. Seeing this, Suizi swiftly extended her hands.

"Bind me."

"Why are you so cooperative?" Yang Wei was stunned.

He assumed that he would need to put up a bit of a fight, but to his surprise, Suizi was more cooperative than he’d thought, even offering her hands willingly?

"First bind my hands so I won’t be able to resist you, then I’ll tell you where our money is kept, I’ll guide you to it. Let’s see the money first."

The beautiful woman was standing right before him, making Yang Wei’s heart itch.

However, the thought of the money Suizi mentioned made him salivate.

Suizi noticed his expression and continued:

"Our money, although it may not be as much as to require a chest to hold it all, amounts to quite a few thousand. My mother-in-law also has gold. Don’t you want to take a look?"

"Good, a few thousand?!" Hearing such a large number, Yang Wei’s head buzzed.

The men in his family enjoyed drinking and gambling, and had not saved a single cent throughout the year. They were always borrowing from one family after another, living hand to mouth.

People who had never even seen a hundred dollars hearing about a few thousand all of a sudden, were obviously overjoyed.

"Don’t try to fool me, remember I have a knife!" Yang Wei threatened.

Suizi stretched out her hands, pretending to be scared.

"Can a pregnant woman like me really fight you off?"

That was true, Yang Wei was reassured and went up to bind Suizi’s hands.

Suizi tensed all of her muscles; in her previous life, she had watched a lecture on how to deal with criminals.

You have to extend your hands in front of you while tensing up your muscles, that way, if the criminal isn’t careful, it’s easy to break free.

But this method didn’t work well on thin people.

Suizi’s plump figure turned out to be very useful at this moment, as she tensed up while Yang Wei tied the rope around her.

Yang Wei’s hands were shaking, he was also scared doing this.

After he finished tying her up, fearing that he would touch her, Suizi said before he opened his mouth:

"Let’s go see the money. It’s in my mother-in-law’s room; before she went back to the village, I personally saw her counting the money, there was a lot, and it can buy many nice things. You can even take the TV."

A TV! Yang Wei swallowed.

Such a good thing, something he could never dream of affording in his life.

"Why are you being so cooperative?"

"I want to live, and as you can see, I am a pregnant woman with no fighting capacity. I can’t beat you nor can I run away. After you take the money, I will just say that someone broke into the house. They won’t be able to find you."

Suizi’s words were reasonable and also matched Yang Wei’s intentions.

He planned to deceive Suizi into taking out all the money from the house and then proceed with his plan to take advantage of her.

That way, Suizi would have to remain silent, and his family would be completely safe.

"You walk ahead, and don’t try anything funny!"

Suizi got up slowly and walked in front, leading him to the east room.

"It’s in that cabinet, the key is under the bed mat."

Yang Wei followed Suizi’s directions and really found the key; thinking that the money was in the box, he was incredibly excited.

With Suizi’s hands no longer free, she had lost her threat in Yang Wei’s eyes.

Before the huge fortunes, Yang Wei had no thoughts of watching Suizi, and opened the box excitedly.

Suizi, who was standing behind him, began to struggle hard to get rid of the rope. Following the method she remembered, she untied the rope in a few attempts.

She thanked the great science and the wonderful police officer’s science education, and knew that she could always trust the knowledge shared by police. It could save one’s life in key moments!

Suizi had successfully escaped the constraints of the rope.

But at this moment, Yang Wei, who was still unaware and was facing away from Suizi, was about to face the vengeance of a highly intelligent, soon-to-be mother.
