Became a vicious male mother

59

The person in the seat leaned limply against the iron chair, their eyes flickering in the light, revealing many colors that were difficult to discern. The only thing that was visible was the bloodshot eyes that covered the whites of their eyes, which were extremely unsightly.

Li Taihe squatted down: "Let me hug you."

Before she could refuse, Gu Xinglan was suddenly lifted up by a pair of large hands, her thighs supported from below.

His abdomen was pressing against someone's shoulder, causing him pain.

"Wait, this position... is uncomfortable."

Gu Xinglan felt a rush of blood to her head and her stomach churning.

Another dizzying sensation followed, and the scent of spikenard at the tip of my nose changed several times.

Everyone has a unique body odor, varying only in intensity. It is said that mixing perfume with body odor can create a unique fragrance.

The posture changed from carrying on one's back to carrying horizontally.

The unfamiliar yet familiar perfume scent became clearer; it was a light fragrance, barely noticeable unless you sniffed closely.

"Are you closing your eyes yourself, or are you tying that piece of cloth around your neck?"

From this angle, you can see that the man's prominent nose is unusually blurred by the swaying light.

This is Li Taihe's private torture chamber. The routes are intricate and complex. If you are not careful, you may trigger a trap and lose your life.

The person is now forcing him not to see outside, which most likely means they want to take him on the safest and fastest route to the outside.

"I'll close it myself."

Gu Xinglan closed her eyes as she spoke.

The eyelids are thin, and you can almost see the eyeballs moving.

"President Li, the Observatory is on its way." Li Huiwen said calmly, holding his phone as if he had dealt with this situation many times before.

The glasses perched on his nose reflected Li Taihe's overly sinister gaze.

"Prepare according to the original plan, and those three children, don't tell them."

The best way to make a lie go unnoticed is to mix the truth with lies.

"Yue Chang, you should have a good talk with that kid surnamed Xu."

"Yes!" Li Yuechang immediately straightened up and shouted.

Xu Mufeng was the only one of the three children who had experienced this incident.

Gu Xinglan heard all of these words.

It seems to be related to yesterday's kidnapping incident.

But didn't this person already get other newspapers to publish false information?

Gu Xinglan kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them even a crack.

"System, check the progress of the hidden storyline again now."

System: [The progress bar is completely lazy; it shows no sign of moving.]

[Host, don't be discouraged, this is normal. You've already triggered 5%, there's still 95% left. What does this prove? It means there's a high potential for growth!]

Gu Xinglan: "..."

"Why are you always encouraging me lately?" When I first met this person, I was always sarcastic and cynical towards him.

System: [Feelings develop over time, and it's hard to control them.]

Nothing to say.

While passing the time with the system, Li Taihe had been carrying him for who knows how long.

There was no elevator, and no cold wind like when we arrived.

More... is the scent of aromatherapy.

The aromatherapy was very strong; the scent burst forth almost instantly and lingered around his nose continuously.

It means entering a new place.

"Open your eyes."

A deep male voice sounded in my ear.

Gu Xinglan raised her hand to cover her eyes before daring to open them, but she didn't see the blinding white light she had imagined.

But...

A girl's room?

Gu Xinglan blinked, glancing around almost imperceptibly out of the corner of her eye.

It is indeed a girl's room... very simple and clean.

The pale yellow wallpaper was decorated with beige scriptures in an orderly fashion, and the furniture was simply arranged, except for a dressing table.

It was filled with all sorts of cosmetics, and the aroma of fragrance wafted from there.

"Why did you bring me here?" He nestled in the man's arms, feeling uneasy in the unfamiliar surroundings.

He might even inexplicably have the thought that Li Taihe is going to imprison him here.

But upon further reflection, this absurd idea was quickly dismissed.

As he expected.

“Reporters have come to the villa as guests, and I don’t want to give myself away.” Li Taihe held him steadily, his words revealing no emotion.

He really wanted to ask the man in front of him: he was clearly sexually attracted to women, he wasn't ordered to marry, and he was the head of the Li family. No one would force him to marry, so why did he still want to marry a man? Did he want to use the man as a target to cover up his identity and avoid assassination? He could have simply not married at all, which would have avoided many things.

Perhaps the answer can only be revealed after successfully navigating the hidden storyline.

But this hidden plot cannot be forced out at all.

"System, can I just complete the main quests?"

Gu Xinglan wanted to cry but had no tears.

System: [The world will become increasingly dangerous in the later stages. The cheat codes you obtain after completing the hidden storylines are crucial; you'll practically need them in every emergency! If you don't want to fail halfway through, it's best to pursue both storylines simultaneously.]

While she was still in a daze, Gu Xinglan was carried by the man to the dressing table.

The beige chair cushions were extremely soft, like sitting on a cloud.

After adjusting her posture, Gu Xinglan looked at herself in the mirror and was momentarily dazed.

Isn't it... a bit too flamboyant?

System: [Thanks to the Muscle Regeneration Pill!]

"You actually let me use it?"

System: [This is a reward from the Supreme God, equivalent to an imperial edict from your ancient emperors. You have no choice but to accept it!]

Gu Xinglan: "..."

"Xinglan, put on this dress."

Behind him was a man with an extremely aggressive aura.

Li Taihe moved a piece of clothing next to him.

He wore a wine-red long dress with layers of bodice like flower petals that cascaded down to the hem. Two belts were tied around his waist: one a black lace ribbon and the other a complex and luxurious leather belt. The only exposed areas were his shoulders and the area from his neck to his collarbone, which perfectly concealed the bandages on his hands.

"Where's the wig?"

That's the key.

"Put your skirt on first." Li Taihe placed the skirt on the armrest, a smile on his face, and stepped back a little, teasingly saying, "Be quick! Be stylish!"

The reporter was almost there, but the man was still in the mood to play word games with him.

The Outlook Press has a remarkable background; many major news stories in my past life originated from this newspaper.

The three news stories that impressed him the most were: First, a business news story about an 18-year-old boy who stole and leaked the company's core secrets overnight, causing the company, which was worth more than 100 billion dollars, to be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Secondly, there was the news about criminal cases. This case involved sacrificial rites and human trafficking. The investigation yielded no results, but he was deeply impressed because the investigative reporter who personally disguised himself to investigate became a headless corpse, found dead in a rented room. It was said that the rented room was one of the sacrificial altars. When the reporter's body was brought out, many people went out into the streets to mourn in the rain. At the time, he was going to see a severely mentally ill patient who was hiding in the house, so he was unable to go to say goodbye to the reporter. At the time of the incident, he had not yet started working at the Li family and was just an intern psychologist who followed his senior around.

The third thing was the scandal involving the school and the pharmaceutical company. He vaguely remembered that the pharmaceutical company was conducting human trials in order to reduce the cost of new drug development and shorten the long clinical trial cycle. What impressed him most was that this was related to the school that teaches and educates people.

Wushui may appear glamorous on the surface, but it is actually a man-eating flower forest that devours people without spitting out the bones.

Therefore, he still held a favorable impression of the reporter from the Outlook News Agency.

Raphael once suggested that the media and the press are the fourth political power, in addition to executive, legislative, and judicial powers.

That's why the first thing Li Taihe did after leaving the abandoned factory yesterday was to instruct his subordinates to spread false information to confuse the public.

Lost in thought, Gu Xinglan took a deep breath, carefully picked up the long dress from the armrest, and then turned to look at the person behind her.

The person made no move to avoid him, nor did they look at him; they were talking quietly on their phone.

With a "whoosh," Gu Xinglan took off her loose sportswear and quickly changed into a long dress.

The skirt was very tight at the waist, and the leather belt had a very special design; he tried for a long time but couldn't unscrew it.

"Li Taihe, unbuckle your belt." Gu Xinglan had been trying to unbuckle it for a long time but still couldn't. She was getting impatient and simply took it off and threw it to Li Taihe.

The man's fingers were long and rough, with neatly trimmed nails, and he tugged at the buckle on his belt several times.

"You can't solve it either?"

Gu Xinglan sighed, rubbing her forehead, and murmured, "Where did you find these clothes?"

As a result, the man pulled out a knife from somewhere on his body and quickly cut his belt open.

"..."

The belt was made of layers of genuine leather and studded with diamonds, yet it was easily cut open.

This shows how strong this person's hand is.

“This belt is a fixed belt. Once it’s tied, its length is fixed, unless a master mechanic uses tools to unlock it.” Li Taihe lowered his eyes and took off the broken belt.
