Bai Shusu was enjoying a wealthy lifestyle, crazily swiping her card at the mall.
She walked into a luxury store and finally got to say that line—
“Wrap up everything except this and this. Everything else, pack it all.”
She walked with wind in her steps, even though she was a bit showy.
But it really felt amazing!!!
Beibei followed behind her, already carrying everything she could possibly hold—all of them were shopping bags.
The bodyguards accompanying them had gone back and forth several times.
Once a woman’s shopping desire surged, it was impossible to stop.
Bai Shusu slumped in the lounge. Who would have thought that one day she would be tired not from walking, but from swiping her card.
Beibei went to put the items away, and judging by the timing, it was about right.
Bai Shusu stood up and headed back to the parking lot.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her shoulder. She looked up—and sure enough, just like the fixed trope in novels—
If you go shopping, you will definitely run into the female lead!!
Cong Shuang also did not expect to see her here. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
She had not settled yesterday’s account with her yet—she had drugged her to ruin her innocence. If the man last night had not been Yunshen, she would have torn her into pieces!
“Isn’t this our Miss Bai Eldest Miss?”
Bai Shusu noticed the woman beside Cong Shuang—it was Zhao Yue.
No wonder she was speaking so sarcastically.
A textbook lackey beside the female lead.
Actually, in this situation, Bai Shusu felt a little awkward. She did not know what to do—she was not the original owner after all, and she was a beginner when it came to being a villainous female supporting character.
“Miss Bai, don’t you have anything to say?” Cong Shuang secretly clenched her hand.
Seeing her standing perfectly fine in front of her, she must be disappointed, right?
“You… who are you? I don’t know you.”
The best method was to pretend to have amnesia. Since she was already pretending, she might as well go all the way.
Cong Shuang’s expression turned to shock.
Was she planning to pretend nothing had happened?
It was Zhao Yue’s turn to step in. She grabbed Bai Shusu. “You drugged Shuangshuang and now you’re pretending to have amnesia?!”
The reason Zhao Yue dared to speak to her like this was because the original owner liked Qin Yunshen, and Cong Shuang was the person Qin Yunshen liked. Zhao Yue was only able to act arrogantly because she relied on Cong Shuang.
“Who are you?”
!!!
“Stop pretending. It was just a bump on the head. You’re just afraid of being exposed and not daring to admit it.”
“I really have amnesia. I can’t remember anything.”
Bai Shusu blinked her eyes innocently to prove she was not lying.
Her personality had completely changed now, and only by pretending to have amnesia could she escape everything the original owner had done, and avoid further contact with the male and female leads. No matter what she said, the female lead would not believe her anyway.
“Miss Bai, isn’t this funny? You fail at drugging someone and now you don’t even dare to admit it?”
Bai Shusu pushed away Zhao Yue’s hand that was grabbing her. “Believe it or not.”
She did not want to entangle with the female lead. She did not want to die!
The best strategy was to retreat!
“Stop! Who allowed you to leave!”
Zhao Yue’s shouting came from behind.
“Come back!!”
Bai Shusu quickly walked, then broke into a small run.
“Bai Shusu!!!”
Run, run faster!
Zhao Yue observed Cong Shuang’s expression. That usually pitiful and lovable face had now become somewhat distorted.
Bai Shusu, I will definitely make you pay the price!
When she reached the parking lot, Bai Shusu quickly got into the car. She panted lightly and drank some water from inside the car.
Fortunately, she escaped a disaster.
Beibei helped her calm down. “Miss, what happened?”
“Nothing. I ran into the female lead.”
“Huh?”
Bai Shusu smiled at her. “It’s fine.”
Beibei nodded blankly, still confused.
Bai Shusu told the driver Lu Xiaoxiao’s address and tried to calm her nerves.
She still needed to stay away from the male and female leads. She did not want to show her presence in front of the female lead, lest when the female lead became powerful, she would be the first one eliminated.
When she arrived, Bai Shusu got out of the car.
What kind of place was this? The car could not even enter, and she still had to walk.
She let Beibei go back first. Bringing an assistant and bodyguards to someone’s birthday party did not seem appropriate.
Although this place felt eerie, and the night was already deep.
But she believed that in City A, apart from the male and female leads, no one would dare to touch her.
She took a deep breath and followed the navigation on her phone.
Birds darted through the surroundings, and the deeper she went, the more uneasy she felt.
If she had not read the original novel, she would really have suspected that Lu Xiaoxiao was trying to harm her!
Who holds a birthday party in a place like this?!
A chill of cold wind brushed against her lower body. She looked around—this should be a port area.
Behind it was a forest, and in front were stacked cargo containers. The sound of waves hitting the shore made everything unnervingly quiet.
Based on her years of reading novels, this was the perfect setting for murder scenes or illegal transactions…
A bird flew over her head, scaring her into a jolt.
Oh my god!
So scary.
Forget the birthday—she wanted to leave.
The next second, she heard voices. Someone was talking.
Following the direction of the sound, she could not see clearly in the dark, but she could roughly make out silhouettes.
Under the pitch-black night sky, the port was surrounded by people. The leader held a gun, pointed at someone kneeling in front of him.
Then came the sound of a lighter being flipped open. A faint flame flickered, and as smoke spread, the man’s forehead was stained with blood. His bone structure was strikingly good, his gaze deep and weary.
Then several dull sounds were heard, followed by gunshots—and everything fell silent.
It was swallowed by the darkness.
Bai Shusu froze. More accurately, she was completely terrified. She did not dare move, as if she were dreaming.
There were many killing scenes in novels, but when she found herself inside one—
All she felt was fear, nothing but fear.
Now she could neither leave nor stay.
She thought she would wait until those people left before escaping. If she moved now, she might make noise, and it was not yet her time to “receive her box.”
Just as she was gradually calming down, her phone suddenly rang at the worst possible timing.
“Who’s there?”
She immediately hung up and muted it. It was Lu Xiaoxiao calling.
Bai Shusu hid in a concealed spot and crouched down, eyes tightly shut.
Heavens, were they trying to kill her?!
She was discovered and dragged out by two men. Thrown to the ground, she did not even feel the pain, only the wet, warm sensation on her palm.
She widened her eyes.
Blood! There was a man lying beside her—probably the one who had just been shot.
She trembled as she raised her gaze and met the man’s cold, deep eyes.
She was below, while he looked down from above.
A chill ran down her neck, as if a poisonous snake had wrapped around it. She could not breathe, and her blood turned ice cold in an instant.
He stood there, extremely tall. His suit pants made his legs look long and straight. His white shirt was stained with blood, his shoulders broad and waist narrow. Up close, his features were sharp and defined, his facial structure distinct. His skin had a slightly tanned tone, his straight nose was smeared with blood, and his thin lips were lightly pressed as his brows lifted slightly. His eyes, like a deep abyss, narrowed slightly, cold and terrifying.
At that moment, he curved his lips slightly as he studied her. His gaze turned darker and more dangerous.
