“Hehe, little beauty, of course I know your family is rich, but do you know—my family is not only richer than yours, but also more powerful?”
The pregnant woman looked at the man approaching step by step in terror.
“My husband… my husband won’t let you go, please, let me go now, I, I’ll pretend this never happened, sob sob…”
The man—that is, Ji Wuren—smiled and waved away the people around him, preparing to enjoy his prey for the day.
With a “click,” the door was locked.
“Sob sob sob…” The pregnant woman retreated repeatedly, turning around to crawl backward, but Ji Wuren grabbed her hair and pulled her directly to his side.
He smiled evilly, “Little beauty, although crying makes me even more… um…”
“Thump!”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a wave of dizziness. Before he could think, he saw the pregnant woman in his hands roll her eyes and faint.
Ji Wuren instantly sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw a dark shadow approaching him from behind. Before he could see clearly, he fell straight down and fainted.
After Xia Canglan and Ji Wuren’s men left, she took out the strongest M-drug from her spatial storage and blew it into the pregnant woman’s body. This way, even soldiers specially trained to resist drugs wouldn’t be able to withstand its effects.
Ji Wuren, the youngest and most favored grandson of the Ji family, always had the best resources around him. Although he was disappointing, he always received what he was entitled to.
Therefore, fearing there wouldn’t be enough drugs, Xia Canglan used this particular one.
She went in, first checking on the pregnant woman’s condition, then feeding her a pill beneficial to her and the baby before approaching Ji Wuren.
“Slap slap slap.”
She slapped her several times, then took out a thick needle, its shaft gleaming with a cold, dark light, reflecting Xia Canglan’s wicked smile.
“The most favored grandson of the Ji family, right? If your thing is no longer useful, tell me, with your worthless trash like you, let’s see if your so-called family will save you?”
“Swish!”
The attack was swift, the thick needle piercing directly into his thigh.
Perhaps sensing the danger, Ji Wuren, still unconscious, twitched unconsciously, his body spasming a few times before falling into a deep coma again.
At this moment, Ji Wuren’s men sensed something was wrong and knocked on the door.
“Boss, are you alright?”
It’s no wonder his men noticed something was amiss, because their boss usually made a lot of noise and screams when he worked.
Today, apart from the initial voices, there was no sound at all. They were afraid something had happened inside and rushed over to inquire.
Xia Canglan paused, then continued stabbing, roaring at the men outside in Ji Wuren’s voice,
“What are you doing? What are you doing? Can’t you see I’m working? Do you want to die? Get the hell out of here! If I hear any more of your annoying noises, I’ll chop you all up tomorrow!”
The men outside immediately panicked .
“Yes, yes, sorry, young master. We’ll retreat now.”
Xia Canglan’s mental energy spread out, and she could still hear the men complaining about the person knocking on the door.
“See? I told you the young master was alright. These are all our people; how could anyone possibly get in and hurt him?”
“Yeah, look at the consequences now. Judging from the young master’s tone, he seems really angry. We’re all doomed tomorrow.”
…
Tsk tsk,
the person himself isn’t much, but his subordinates are quite alert. What a waste of a pervert like you.
After collecting the last needle, Xia Canglan withdrew her hand with satisfaction, glanced around the area, her eyes darting around. She stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Since she’d come all this way, it wouldn’t be right not to take some ‘local specialties’ back, would it?
Xia Canglan smiled, glanced at her watch—time was running out.
She first used her mental energy to scan the entire house, discovering a tunnel beneath the innermost room. The tunnel was filled with dozens of boxes of “specialties”
Ji Wuren had brought from home. Xia Canglan casually opened a box—a large, glittering goldfish!
Wow, such beautiful “specialties”!
Hmm, she liked them.
She collected, collected, collected…
It took her over ten minutes to empty the tunnel completely.
Clapping her hands, Xia Canglan prepared to leave when suddenly her mental energy detected something strange in the tunnel walls.
She paused, turned around, and slowly touched the wall. She knocked, and with a click, the wall slowly opened, revealing a small space inside. Inside were several letters and—a telegraph?
Xia Canglan opened one of the letters, and upon reading its contents, her expression changed drastically. She gritted her teeth, thinking, “Damn it! These shameless scoundrels…they actually collaborated with the Little Life smugglers to smuggle treasures from the Dragon Kingdom!
They bought up porcelain, woodenware, and antiques at low prices, transported them to Hong Kong, and then had the Little Life smugglers in Hong Kong transport them back to Little Life!” Her hand holding the envelope paused. After thinking for a moment, Xia Canglan put the envelope back in its original position, closed the mechanism of the small space, wiped away the traces on the ground, and then quietly left the tunnel.
Just as she climbed over the wall, she sensed an attack coming towards her.
Xia Canglan dodged the blow with a backflip, and without thinking, swung her hand in a counter-attack. The attacker quickly blocked, then kicked Xia Canglan hard in the waist.
“Bang bang bang!”
“Bang, slap, bang…”
The attacker was skilled, and a prolonged fight would be disadvantageous for her.
Xia Canglan kicked away his kick, quickly grabbed a handful of powder and threw it at him. While he was covering his mouth and face, she quickly fled and disappeared without a trace.
The attacker stood up, waved away the faint scent of medicine in the air, sniffed it, and sensed it.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. So… it was just a little liar, but his skills weren’t bad.
“Boss, that guy took a pregnant woman from the inner room to the open space, woke her up, and left. I didn’t expect to run into you, Boss. You didn’t hurt him, did you? That guy looked so small, I hope…”
Under the boss’s gaze, he dared not continue, and could only chuckle.
“Go, find out who owns this house? How dare they openly abduct women! I want to see who they are.”
The man called “Boss” stood in the darkness, his sharp eyes revealing a fierce glint, his tone as cold as an iceberg.
“Uh, Boss, weren’t there just the two of us here this time? Our first task isn’t to find out… Yes, Boss, I’ll go right away.”
Xia Canglan was unaware of this little incident. She had just escaped home with all her might. Entering her room and closing the door, she instantly collapsed to the ground.
Her chest was short of breath, with a slight stinging sensation, and her head was throbbing. Xia Canglan knew it was the aftereffect of excessive mental exertion.
Her face was deathly pale, and she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand.
Damn it, when did such a powerful monster appear here?
Why hadn’t I seen him before? Was he a newcomer?
Xia Canglan gritted her teeth. Damn it, she hoped she wouldn’t encounter him again, or she would definitely beat him up.
