Chapter 319: You Are So Unreliable

Hilla looked at the figures walking outside and subconsciously turned to look at Bruce behind her, frowning.

“What to do? There are many people outside.”

Moreover, it seemed that there were both men and women.

In the past, because of the good scenery in this town, there were many tourists every year, and the town was rich.

However, with that legend, a large area of the flower fields had been destroyed, and most of the fields were planted with vegetables and fruits. There were fewer and fewer tourists, and gradually, this place had been forgotten.

Even if the people in the town rarely went out, they could be self-sufficient, so they had less contact with the outside world.

“They must have seen you park here for the whole night and thought you want to rob them or you are the police officer secretly investigating.”

This village had been buying men for a long time, and some men ran out.

Some ran home, some went missing, and some called the police, but the police could not find anything because the villagers were in collusion.

As time passed, this remote place looked like a small closed country.

“Then what should we do? They won’t hit people, will they?”

“They are just a group of ordinary peasant women. They won’t do anything to us.”

Hearing Bruce’s words, Hilla heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they were a group of pitiful women. They had grown up in this kind of environment, which was why they took it for granted.

If she were to hit a woman, she really couldn’t do it.

“Let’s go out and take a look.”

Bruce got up and walked out of the limousine. Frank turned pale with fright. Before Bruce opened the door, he shrank into the narrow bathroom.

The moment the door opened, the people outside all rushed together.

Their eyes were on guard as they watched the man and woman walk out.

The man looked noble with a dominating air.

Even if women were in charge of the town, the man in front of them made them flinch.

The woman behind him was even more beautiful and stunning.

When Bruce and Hilla walked out of the limousine, the door of the opposite limousine

also opened.

Halle pushed Horton out, and in his arms was the little girl who was eating a lollipop.

Hilla glanced at Halle worriedly and subconsciously moved closer to them, protecting Halle by her side.

“Who is your major?”

Although it was called Butterfly Town, it was only a village with a hundred households.

Bruce was the first to speak. He glanced at the crowd in front of him with a sharp gaze.

The people panicked for a moment, and soon a thin, seemingly shrewd, middle-aged woman walked out.

“I am the mayor. Who are you?”

“Municipal Committee Member census.”

Bruce raised his eyelids slightly and said simply. Sure enough, when the people heard that they were officials, they did not dare to act recklessly.

The mayor looked at the man in front of her and asked, “Why didn’t we receive a notice from the county? Moreover, didn’t we report this to the county in the past?”

Moreover, it was always the Town Committee who sent the number of people to the county, and they had never seen the people in the county personally come to check.

“This time, it is reorganized in the whole country. The document has just been sent to the city.”

Bruce explained seriously. The female mayor glanced at the men and women behind Bruce with doubt.

“This census by the municipal government personnel selected individual towns in the county. Secretary Holt will be in charge of demographic statistics.

“The village that was selected this time had free medical services. Dr. Hutt is a famous specialist in the city and can give free medical check-ups to the villagers. His assistant will help. This is a good thing for you.”

Hilla didn’t expect Bruce to be so good at lying.

Looking at the villagers in front of her who had been fooled and stunned, Hilla forced herself to keep a friendly smile on her face.

The mayor glanced at Horton, who was sitting in the wheelchair. He did look like a doctor. The woman standing behind him was beautiful and dignified. There was no sense of disharmony.

However, seeing the child in the man’s arms, the mayor said, “This child?”

“This is Dr. Hutt’s daughter. Dr. Hutt has just divorced and no one took care of his

daughter. He can only take the child with him for work.”

He was a pitiful dad.

The mayor finally understood.

Horton frowned when he heard that. He stared at Bruce’s back and complained in his heart, “Bruce is really evil. Why didn’t he divorce himself? We’re clearly newlyweds, and I haven’t even touched Halle!”

Mr. Anderson was an excellent liar.

…

Hilla secretly took Halle’s hand and whispered, “Is this okay? Our plan won’t fail, right?”

She could pretend to be a secretary. At worst, she had to do some trivial things there. In a small town like Butterfly Town, there shouldn’t be many documents that she needed to sort out. However, Hilla felt anxious when she thought that they might have to enter the town. Would they be unable to come out after entering?

For more than a hundred years, almost all the men here were bought from outside. Even if a boy was born, he would either be sold or married into the family outside the town after he grew up.

The women had been here for generations and they were the real masters of Butterfly Town.

Halle patted the back of Hilla’s hand to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Play it by ear. Bruce is here. Everything would be okay.”

Hilla didn’t expect that Halle trusted Bruce so much and felt a little jealous and guilty. As his wife, she wasn’t sure if Bruce could deal with the things and worried about the consequences of his lie. But Halle fully believed in Bruce. Should she reflect on herself?

“This town isn’t big. No matter what, they couldn’t haul us in this town. Besides, I could beat them.”

Hilla comforted herself. Seeing her childish appearance, Halle smiled faintly and couldn’t help but shake her head in her heart.

She had been a mother of two children, but she was still like a child.

The mayor had been sizing them up, and some people gathered here.

“Mayor, do you think these people are sent from the city? That man seems to be a leader.”

They had never seen such handsome men except on TV. Although Horton was paralyzed, his looks still attracted the women in Butterfly Town.

Two such strange cars suddenly came to the town, and four beautiful people stepped out of the car.

They looked so good that they amazed the people here.

Moreover, they looked very dignified. They must not be ordinary people.

“Shall we call someone in the county and ask them if these people are liars?”

“Are there such good-looking liars? Then just leave them in our town so they won’t tempt others.”

“It’s better for the mayor to call the leaders in the county and ask. What if something happens if she takes them into the town without permission?”

“What could happen to us? They would be the ones in trouble, not us.”

“What do you know? Our town… In short, it’s better to investigate them.”

“As long as they are not spies!”

Some people around the mayor gossiped. Their voices were not loud but could be heard by the people around them.

These people rarely came into contact with the outside world so they were very defensive, especially the women. They were the clearest about what they had done.

Hilla heaved a sigh of relief as she listened to the conversation. The people here were also doubting them when they were worried about them.

The mayor stepped forward and politely looked at Bruce as she gracefully extended her hand.

She was different from other people in Butterfly Town. Although she was middle-aged and looked ordinary, her temperament and image were very good. She didn’t seem to have lived in the isolated area for a long time.

“Sir, what should I call you?”

“Mr. Anderson.”

The mayor smiled. “Mr. Anderson, could you tell me your position?”

“The head of Information Association of our city!”

Bruce frankly replied without any hesitation.

Even Hilla, who was behind him, was about to believe it.

The mayor immediately became respectful. “Mr. Anderson, you must be tired coming to our town from so far away. Would you like to rest in our town?”

When they entered the town, she could call the people in the county to ask about their situation.

“No need. Just prepare the census data and hand it over.” He said casually and indifferently, looking like a leader. The ordinary people’s tone wouldn’t be like this.

The mayor nodded. Hearing that they were not entering the town, she was relieved. “I will go back to prepare now. I could hand it over to you in the afternoon.”

As long as Bruce didn’t enter the town, he couldn’t find anything strange. She could hand over the false data to her.

After handing it over to him, she could send them away.

“Don’t crowd here. If you need the medical treatment, line up with your relevant documents.”

Bruce glanced at the dozens of villagers standing behind the mayor.

The mayor quickly replied, “Go do your things. Don’t gather here.”

Hearing the mayor, the people quickly spread out.

The mayor also returned to the town to prepare the census data. Bruce and the others returned to their caravan.

“My God, you guys are so amazing. How dare you cheat those women? The mayor is not as foolish as those women. When she goes back and calls the people in the county, she will know that you are lying.”

Frank hugged the tattered mosquito net that he had taken off and hidden in the innermost seat.

He was terribly scared and very worried about Bruce and the others in the bathroom just now.

He was afraid that they would fail and be dragged into the town by those women.

The man might be forced to marry them and the woman would be the maid then.

He would be the most miserable. If he was caught, he would be tormented to death.

Hilla and Halle frowned when they heard this and looked at Bruce.

“They won’t find out that we are lying, will they? Or let’s leave now. At worst, we can also drive out of their checkpoint! It’s alright if no one dies.”

Hilla looked at Bruce anxiously. Her husband was so handsome. No wonder those women stared at him just now.

If he was dragged into the town, there must be many women seducing him.

“Bruce should be prepared. Those words are not just nonsense, right?”

Halle said gently as she looked at Bruce.

Bruce replied indifferently, “Yes!”

Halle heaved a sigh of relief. Then Bruce continued, “They are nonsense.”

Halle, Horton, and Frank were all speechless.

…

…

Hilla thought, “What a poser! Bruce is so unreliable!”

“You might escape if your car is small. But your car is too big and you have to drive the main road. Don’t even think about that. You have no chance.”

Frank, as a victim who had been kidnapped for eight years, reminded him.

It was better not to try it. You would be more miserable if you got caught.

“They are frightened by Bruce for a while. Calm down and think of a way to get out of here first. After all, we are driving a car. It’s always faster than people.”

Horton held Emily in his arms silently and there was no worry on his face.

When the few of them were about to say something, Hilla glanced out the window and suddenly said desperately, “Don’t think about it. Our car can’t run anymore.”

A group of women walked out from the town and came towards them aggressively.
