Chapter 545 - The Mysterious Shopkeeper (1/2)

Sumei laughed grimly when she saw how Hongyu was looking death calmly in the face.

“Alright, if even my own sister is only concerned about other people, what’s the use of keeping you around? Go on, I’ll explain to the master later.”

Sumei shouted viciously when she saw the servants’ hesitance.

To her, there was no longer any affection between the kins.

“Yes.”

Although Hongyu was one of them, her status was lower than that of Sumei after all.

The group of people was like fiends that broke into Hongyu’s room.

As Lin Mengya witnessed how a slender and frail Hongyu planted herself in front of Lin Mengya fearlessly, Lin Mengya could not help but gasp.

Despite having lived a life as a prostitute, she was much stronger than many others in terms of her mental strength.

As Lin Mengya patted Hongyu’s shoulder, she was not surprised to feel her body tremble.

Who could face death without any fear?

“Fear not, they won’t be able to kill me. I am Lin Mengya. Whoever among you informs your master immediately to tell him that I’m here, you will be greatly rewarded.”

Lin Mengya gazed calmly at the fiends before but was not one bit afraid.

Sumei had wished to get rid her of but she would not have her way today.

All the people hesitated for a moment. Not to mention other factors, the small face which had been wiped clean did look a little familiar.

There were many other girls in the mansion who resembled this girl before their eyes at this moment.

At this moment, their work was had to be stalled given no choice.

“Don’t be taken in by this woman’s nonsense! She is just buying time. If you kill her, I’ll report it to the master and you’ll be rewarded handsomely!”

Sumei tried to instigate those men, lest they be fooled by Lin Mengya’s tricky words.

However, the more exasperated she was, the more clear-minded the servants became. They were starting to smell something fishy.

“Why do you have to be so aggressive and pushy? You’re planning to kill me and push the blame to these servants, am I right? Why don’t you ever figure out why your master had tried so hard looking for those girls who resembled me? If you were to kill me today, I’m sure your master will be furious. You might not be able to bear the consequence. In this case, do you still want to harm me?”

The more certain Lin Mengya sounded, the more urgent Sumei felt.

Why was she always defeated by Lin Mengya before people?

No way! Even if her master got furious, she had to eradicate this stinking woman!

“If you’re not going to make a move, I will!”

The servants had stopped in their tracks. Sumei might be of high status, but she was still in the position of command.

Moreover, the woman she was up against sounded reasonable.

If they were to offend their master because of the crazy woman, their loss would outweigh their gain.

Sumei, having gone crazy, wielded the knife of one of the servants and brought it down on Lin Mengya forcefully.

Hongyu, who was determined to face death boldly, moved towards Sumei.

There was no way Lin Mengya would allow her to die a wrongful death. Deftly, Lin Mengya put her arms around Hongyu and the two fell to the side huddled together.

Behind them, Xiu, who was prepared long ago, moved nimbly as if she was a swallow.

She ducked so Sumei missed her when she tried to pounce on her.

With a “clank”, the heavy knife went onto the bedpost.

Sumei, who had missed Lin Mengya on her first go, grow in her hatred towards Lin Mengya. She wielded the steel knife again and charged towards her.

Lin Mengya grabbed hold of Hongyu’s arm and ran into the crowd.

However, Sumei did not seem to care but followed them into the crowd wielding the knife.

The room, which was already crowded with people was immediately filled with cries of alarm.

Little did the servants expect Sumei to not distinguish between her enemy and allies.

In that instant, all the people in the room had only one thought, which was to get out of the room, lest they be implicated.

Little did they expect, however, that the exit was jammed and it was difficult for anyone to get out.

On top of that, Lin Mengya and Hongyu were able to move among the crowd given their slim figures.

Having gone crazy, Sumei’s eyes were now bloodshot. Two servants who failed to duck in time were injured by the wielding of her knife.

Instantly, Sumei’s pale face was stained with dark red blood.

The hideous expression on her face had driven away from the supposed grace and beauty in her which she tried so hard to cultivate. She looked more like a messenger from hell who was after people’s lives.

“Run, everyone! She’s gone mad, she’s going to kill all of us!”

Seeing their fellow servants having collapsed onto the floor, the servants who eyed Sumei suspicious just a moment ago had come to the realization that Sumei was only using them. Why else would Sumei lash out and injure their fellow servants?

Once their thoughts were straightened out, vicious looks appeared on their faces too.

How many of the people living in this mansion was easy to push around?

In that instant, a few skillful men had surrounded Sumei from behind.

Although Sumei did not know martial arts, they were still afraid that they might get hurt accidentally when she wielded the knife anyhow.

For this reason, they were helpless and unable to subdue her.

“Go get help! This woman had gone crazy!”

Upon hearing the cry for help from his fellow servants who were still trapped in the room, a servant who managed to escape quickly went to look for help, stumbling as he went.
