Chapter 282 : A Rose Wedding 8 (1/2)

Shi Sheng had been planning to settle the score with Xi Yin after regaining her strength, but then she fell asleep while waiting. This was probably because…it was easier to relax after one had had their fill?

But when she got up the next day and looked for Xi Yin, she discovered that he’d actually run off!

Shi Sheng ground her teeth so much they creaked. ‘Actually dared to run! You’d better hope I(lz) don’t catch you!’

She rubbed her belly. It seemed like she really didn’t feel that hungry anymore.

‘The thing he made me drink was from the restaurant we went to yesterday? Though when did he bring it back? That restaurant…’

The sudden ringing of her phone interrupted Shi Sheng’s train of thought. She turned around to go pick up her phone and answer the call.

“Senior, don’t come to school! You mustn’t come to school!” Liang Ge’s voice was panic-stricken and it sounded like she was crying.

“What is it?” Shi Sheng frowned.

“Some people want to capture you! They say you…zzz zzz… Don’t—zzz zzz… Senior? Can you hear me? Don’t—”

Liang Ge’s voice cut off and silence fell.

Half a beat later, she heard a low, male voice speak, “Mi Nai, if you don’t want anything to happen to your only friend, come to the mountain behind the school. I’ll give you an hour.”

He hung up after he finished speaking.

Shi Sheng held her phone with an expressionless face.

‘So the FL still accused me after all? And they dared to use other people to threaten me!’

A moment later, she unhurriedly changed into a dark blue dress embroidered with gorgeous blooming roses.

By the time she made it to the mountain behind the school, an hour had already passed. There was a field on the mountain. And on the field, quite a number of people stood waiting.

Liang Ge was tied to a chair. From the looks of it, she had fainted though she didn’t appear injured otherwise. Beside her stood a very young man who wore glasses, appearing very refined. “You’re late.”

Shi Sheng recognised him. Du Jue. The person who had been in charge of experimenting on Mi Nai.

“That I came at all was your fortune and you’re quibbling about my punctuality? People who don’t mind their own business die early, kiddo.” Shi Sheng was smiling as she spoke these arrogant words.

‘Du Jue’s on the death list! The experiments he did on Mi Nai can’t even be described with the word cruel!’

Du Jue’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes underneath his glasses. “You’re not afraid I’ll harm her?”

“Why are you talking about kindness and morality with a vampire? You sure you don’t have a mental illness? You should go and take your medicine if you do. You don’t seem like the type that can’t afford treatment. Even if you don’t have any money, with those looks of yours, all you gotta do is crook your finger and I reckon a bunch of people would be clamouring to give you money.”

‘How noble could these people who kidnapped a member of their own race to threaten me be? And they just had to put on the mask of being just and righteous while they were at it. Innit disgusting?’

Du Jue’s expression darkened. ‘Wasn’t it reported that Mi Nai’s not good with words? I see a bloody orator—what part of her is not good with words?!’

“Mi Nai, you have violated the rules of the BHA. Your disrespect today has increased the severity of your crimes.” A middle-aged man beside Du Jue stood out. “Obediently follow us back to HQ and your sentence can be lessened.”

“Oh? Pray tell, which rule have I violated exactly?” Shi Sheng looked at him.

He immediately replied, “The first rule. You attacked a human.”

“Who have I attacked?”

“The person involved requested secrecy, so we can’t tell you.”

“Then how do I know you’re not slandering me?” Shi Sheng’s expression didn’t change at all. “Randomly fabricating a reason to catch me… Do you think the BHA belongs only to you humans?”

The middle-aged man’s voice deepened, “We’ve already investigated and have concrete evidence. It’s no use arguing with us.”

“If I wanted to kill someone, she wouldn’t still be alive.” Shi Sheng paused before continuing, “Forget it. No use explaining to you guys since you’ve already set your mind on capturing me.”
