11 – Let’s Unlосk It
Тhаt еvеning, thе incident оf а соrрse apреaring at Оld Mastеr Jiаng’s birthdау bаnquеt madе hеаdlinеs and sprеad throughout the сitу.
Thе hоtеl whеrе the inсidеnt оccurrеd wаs the Jiаng family’s own рroрerty. Tо avоid negаtivе repеrcussions, the Jiаng fаmilу suрpressеd thе nеws, but it wаs impossiblе to silеnce рublic gossiр.
As Sheng Сhuyang left аftеr giving hеr statеmеnt, she overhеard еvеryonе discussing the mаtter аlоng thе waу.
As soоn as she stеррed out of the banquet hall, she sаw thе three members оf thе Sheng family huddlеd bу the entrance, whispering about something.
Sheng Nanting noticed her first.
He looked at her warily and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Sheng Chuyang couldn’t even be bothered to look at him directly. “Where else should I be?”
Sheng Nanting shielded Luo Meixue and Sheng Qingwei as he took a step back. “With such a major incident happening to the Jiang family, shouldn’t you be taking care of Songran and Old Master Jiang?”
Sheng Chuyang replied, “No.”
In the Blood Clan, countless servants lined up to serve her.
What did the Jiang family even amount to?
Sheng Qingwei whispered to Luo Meixue, “Mom, has Sheng Chuyang really gone mad? If she offends the Jiang family like this, will it implicate us?”
Sheng Chuyang shot a sharp glance in their direction, and Sheng Qingwei immediately shrank back, lowering her head.
…
Sheng Chuyang didn’t leave directly.
She wandered around the hotel, familiarizing herself with its layout, before taking the elevator to the first floor.
Many security guards were stationed at the hotel’s main entrance.
Seeing Sheng Chuyang approach, one immediately stepped forward. “Miss, this entrance is temporarily closed. Please use the back door.”
Sheng Chuyang ignored him.
The main entrance was open—why should she have to use the back door?
However, the next moment, she froze in place.
Reporters who had rushed to the scene had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw Sheng Chuyang, they swarmed around her.
“Miss, were you a guest at Old Master Jiang’s birthday banquet?”
“Is it true that a murder occurred during the banquet?”
Sheng Chuyang frowned.
Too noisy…
Just as she raised her hand, a strong, large hand reached from behind and firmly pressed it down.
Turning around, she saw the exceptionally handsome face of a man.
Bo Chenjing leaned in close, whispering softly in her ear, “You can’t use force so casually in public.”
His tall, broad frame almost completely enveloped her petite figure, making them appear intimately close.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “It’s Bo Chenjing!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent.
The reporters who had surrounded them immediately took a step back.
Security guards promptly stepped forward to block the reporters, and Bo Chenjing led Sheng Chuyang away.
Once they reached the parking lot, Bo Chenjing released her hand.
Just as Sheng Chuyang was about to speak, she noticed Bo Chenjing gazing at her with a faint, amused smile, as if he had discovered something interesting.
The last time he had grabbed her wrist, she had immediately shaken him off, but this time she hadn’t.
Sheng Chuyang’s expression turned serious. “What are you laughing at?”
She didn’t particularly like Bo Chenjing like this—unfathomable, giving her the mistaken impression that he was more formidable than her.
Bo Chenjing didn’t answer truthfully, instead changing the subject. “The black gown suits you well.”
As he spoke, he stared intently at her, appearing exceptionally focused. Sheng Chuyang’s heart skipped two beats.
Once her heartbeat steadied, she looked at Bo Chenjing with confusion. “You’re insane.”
Jiang Songran had even argued with her over the gown, yet Bo Chenjing said it suited her.
“Sheng Chuyang, I complimented you, and you call me insane. That’s very impolite.” Bo Chenjing’s words sounded like a reprimand, but his lazy tone made it seem like he was merely joking.Sheng Chuyang felt that Bo Chenjing made a valid point.
She decided to be polite and compliment Bo Chenjing as well.
Her gaze fell on the collar of Bo Chenjing’s shirt. “That tie suits you well.”
As she looked, her eyes involuntarily drifted upward, settling on his elegantly shaped neck.
Just a slight puncture of that beautiful neck, and the rich, fragrant blood would seep out.
The tie was somewhat in the way.
Sheng Chuyang took half a step forward, reached out to grasp his tie, tilted her head up, her pupils clear and transparent, her voice soft and gentle. “Take it off.”
The young girl before him had already begun untying his tie.
As if bewitched, he made no move to stop her.
Until he noticed that the clear, transparent eyes before him began to glow with a bloody red light.
Bo Chenjing abruptly snapped back to reality, grabbing Sheng Chuyang firmly. “Stop!”
Sheng Chuyang’s originally dark, clear eyes were now tinged with a blood-like crimson, and she murmured as if entranced, “I’ll just have a taste.”
She rose on her tiptoes, tilting her head to lean closer to Bo Chenjing’s neck.
At that moment, Song Wu walked over.
“Sixth Master, I… holy shit… I didn’t see anything, you two continue!!”
Song Wu hastily turned around.
He ran quite a distance before stopping.
What he just saw between Sixth Master and Miss Sheng…
Could he have been mistaken?
But wasn’t this progressing a bit too fast?
Miss Sheng was also a bit young.
Well, as long as Sixth Master was happy.
“Sheng Chuyang! Snap out of it!” Bo Chenjing said with a stern expression, struggling to push Sheng Chuyang away.
As the distance between them widened, the scent of Bo Chenjing’s blood faded, and Sheng Chuyang awoke as if from a dream.
She had long sensed that Bo Chenjing was a dangerous person, but she never imagined he could be dangerous to this extent.
She had been so mesmerized that she almost couldn’t resist biting Bo Chenjing!!
Bo Chenjing’s expression was grim. “Just who are you?”
Sheng Chuyang was definitely not as simple as someone with transferred vampire abilities.
Sheng Chuyang calmly replied, “Sheng Chuyang.”
Bo Chenjing’s expression turned cold, his usually indifferent voice now frosty. “There is no one I, Bo Chenjing, want to investigate but cannot uncover.”
Sheng Chuyang had never imagined she could be intimidated by the aura emanating from a human.
Really…
He had her fooled.
Sheng Chuyang felt she was growing more and more appreciative of him.
She smiled, appearing innocent and harmless. “Then I’ll wait and see.”
Bo Chenjing was now completely fixated on her. Since she couldn’t avoid him, she might as well face him head-on!
Bo Chenjing raised his voice and called out, “Song Wu!”
“Sixth Master!” Song Wu hurried over, not daring to breathe too loudly. Sixth Master’s tone was so harsh—he wondered if it was because he had interrupted something good.
Bo Chenjing ordered coldly, “Take Miss Sheng home.”
Song Wu replied, “Yes, sir.”
He had already been kissed by the young lady, yet he was still so harsh.
The young master was right—someone like Sixth Master was only suited to being alone.
…
Late at night once again.
Bo Chenjing sat at his desk with a grave expression.
Sheng Chuyang Observation Log:
Exhibits non-human traits; pupils turn blood-red when craving blood.
At the end of the log, he wrote six words with absolute certainty: She is not Sheng Chuyang.
Closing the notebook, Bo Chenjing took out his phone and called Song Wu. “Prepare the car. I’m going out.”
At the same moment, on the other side of the city.
The Sheng residence…
Sheng Chuyang rummaged through her wardrobe and finally found a set of black clothes.
It seemed she needed to find time to buy clothes.
After changing, Sheng Chuyang, dressed entirely in black, left the Sheng family villa, avoiding the surveillance cameras.Moving like a ghost through the city, leaving only a black afterimage in its wake.
