Chapter 16 : Rich Family’s Young Miss 16 (1/2)

The big man blocked the line of sight of the others behind him so they couldn’t see what she was holding. The assistant viewing the room through the lens of the surveillance camera however, could see the grenade in her hand crystal-clear. It looked like the type that the army used but had some distinct differences.

The big man’s inner monologue was going, ‘Holy fuck! Where did this girl get this?!’

“What are you still standing there for? Go and tie her up!” Nangong Jing was getting irritated. The man sweated coldly before moving to the side so those behind could see what Shi Sheng was holding. ‘It’s a freaking grenade, do you think I’d dare to go and tie her up?’

Nangong Jing hadn’t recognised it immediately but Ling Hao had. His expression changed as he pulled Su Yiyi and retreated out the doorway. “Xu Chengyue, are you crazy?”

Shi Sheng played with the item in her hand, contempt written all over her face, “Look at you, just this got you so scared. It’s only a toy. I found it in the room just now.”

Ling Hao stared at the grenade in her hand for a moment yet still couldn’t tell if it was fake or not. After some thought though, he realised that she was only a a daughter of a fairly rich family, how would she have been able to obtain a grenade? Furthermore, she had been searched when she had been brought here so she couldn’t have hidden it on her person. This villa belonged to his mother’s older brother who had children of his own. ‘Perhaps they had left a toy behind from their last holiday? It’s possible.’

“Xu Chengyue, even when you’re about to die you’re still thinking of scaring me. Tie her up, I’m going to teach her a lesson.” Ling Hao ordered with a gloomy face. He then turned to Su Yiyi, his expression having turned gentle, “Yiyi, you go out first.”

The following scene would be too bloody, he didn’t want Yiyi to see it. Su Yiyi bit her lip as she pulled on Nangong Jing’s sleeve, looking pitifully at him.

Nangong’s brutal gaze swept over Shi Sheng before he brought Su Yiyi out. Before leaving, Su Yiyi secretly shot a mocking and triumphant gaze at Shi Sheng. ‘So what if I was tainted? These two men still view me as a treasure.’

The big man walked over to Shi Sheng and took away the grenade in her hand. The weight and feel was very realistic, quite unlike a toy. The big man couldn’t help but examine it a bit more. Taking advantage of his distraction, Shi Sheng swiftly sprinted towards the window. She had already unlocked it just now so now she simply pushed open the window and before the man reacted, vaulted over the window sill. “What a pity, I had planned to get rid of the three of you together.” Shi Sheng was already falling by the time she said this.

Just as Shi Sheng fell, the grenade in the man’s hand beeped before being followed by a fierce explosion. The entire villa was shaking from the explosion. The second-storey window had been blown to bits and chunks of cement flew everywhere. Below where Shi Sheng jumped out was a ledge so she wasn’t in any danger. The explosion wasn’t too threatening for the aftershock didn’t manage to reach Shi Sheng.

The bodyguards in the courtyard who heard the explosion lifted their heads and saw Shi Sheng who was on the ledge. They charged over, planning to seize her.

Shi Sheng swiftly jumped into the courtyard as she tossed another grenade out, once again causing an explosion. Having prevented the bodyguards from advancing, Shi Sheng took the opportunity to circle around them and run out of the villa.

Seeing that Shi Sheng had left the villa, the assistant immediately ordered the driver to go over to fetch her. Seeing the familiar car stop in front of her, Shi Sheng hesitated for a moment as her gaze changed a few times before pulling the door open and boarding. Only the driver and assistant were in the car. As Shi Sheng had seen them before, she could recognise them.

“Ms Xu.” The assistant’s face was very colourful. There was shock, surprise, doubt and basically a palette of similar emotions. ‘Ms Xu actually carries grenades with her… This is too scary! Young Master Chu, I’ll never call you scary again.’

Shi Sheng patted the dust on her body off as she calmly looked at him, “You saw everything?”

The assistant stiffly nodded.

“Then should I silence you?”

The assistant gulped. ‘Why do I feel like Ms Xu right now is like Young Master Chu when he is about to deal with the people who offend him?!’

“I didn’t see anything.” The assistant immediately changed his testimony.

……

The assistant escorted Shi Sheng to that white-coloured villa before using the fastest speed in his life to run out of her sight. After all, he still valued his life. Shi Sheng opened the door to see Chu Tang reclined on the sofa, his legs propped up on the coffee table. He appeared extremely languid. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned slightly and a hint of a wicked smile floated on his seductive face, “Ms Xu has given me a big surprise.”
