Ex-wife strategy: Mr. Fu wants to spoil me

Chapter 1452 A Dark Secret
After taking the bus from the trail for half an hour, Lu Ye stopped outside a dilapidated yard.

Sheng Mian followed him in.

The moment she opened the door, she smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, accompanied by the coughing sounds of an old man and a child.

"Brother Ye, you are back!"

"Brother Ye is back."

After a while, a dozen children came out of the surroundings, all surrounding Lu Ye.

Lu Ye nodded, calmed the children for a while, then turned to her and said, "Follow me."

Sheng Mian raised his feet and walked into the innermost room.

The innermost room has good lighting, but the environment is too simple. Water is still dripping from the ceiling, which is caught with a bowl.

"Teacher, I met someone today."

Lu Ye opened the door. The person called teacher was a middle-aged woman, but she looked like she was exhausted.

She looked over, covered her mouth and coughed hard.

"This is?"

"She has money and wants to know about my tattoos."

Sheng Mian didn't know how to greet this woman, so she just nodded and said, "Hello."

The woman's eyes narrowed and became sharp.

Lu Ye continued, "Teacher, let her teach instead of you."

Sheng Mian frowned, not knowing what happened yet.

The woman sitting on the bed was also silent, and shook her head after a long time.

"It's too risky. For her, it's something that could cost her her life at any time."

"Wouldn't it mean that she would lose her life if she investigated the tattoo?"

The woman on the bed froze, then smiled palely, "I'm shallow."

Sheng Mian stood aside knowingly and did not move, nor did she take the initiative to ask.

She heard the woman cough a few more times, their eyes met, and the woman asked, "What do you call me?" "Just call me Shengmian."

"Miss Sheng, do you know what the jellyfish tattoo means?"

Sheng Mian shook his head.

The woman and Lu Ye looked at each other.

Lu Ye poured her a glass of water and said in a calm tone, "The jellyfish tattoo is the glory of this island and also a dark secret."

"Why is it a secret, and how did this kid get it?"

"Sheng Mian, if you want to know, you have to agree to our conditions, enter Outer Island High School, and take over my position as teacher."

"I've never taught."

"My teacher is a painter, and you are not here to teach. You have more important things to do. As long as you agree, I will tell you everything about tattoos."

Sheng Mian was silent, not knowing whether this deal was a good deal or not.

Lu Ye also increased the stakes, "No one on the outer island knows this tattoo better than the teacher and I."

Seeing that Sheng Mian still didn't agree, the woman coughed heavily again.

I coughed so much that my lungs almost vomited out.

Sheng Mian's nose was filled with the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room. She hummed slightly and agreed.

Lu Ye looked at the woman sitting on the bed, raised his hand and grabbed her hand.

The woman was so excited that she shed tears.

"Xiao Ye, it would be great if someone could save you, it would be great."

Lu Ye raised his hand and patted the back of her hand. Then he turned around, his back to Shengmian, and pointed to the tattoo on the back of his neck.

"My thing just appeared this year. Every year, high school seniors have to take the island-wide unified examination. Only the top ten candidates are eligible to get this tattoo. This has been a tradition on the Shutter Island for many years. It is also the most cherished thing in every candidate's heart, and we have been proud to get it for so many years."

"But a month ago, the teacher accidentally overheard the conversation between two mysterious people. It turns out that this so-called tattoo represents being selected and being dragged as an animal. It is said that no one can come out alive in the end. Those who have been selected We only know that they go to serve the people on the inner island and have a very high status, but no one knows what they are doing. Over the years, several people who have been selected from the outer islands have indeed never come out."

"We always thought that getting a tattoo was a blessing of wealth and an opportunity to change our destiny. We never thought it would be a dead end."
