Chapter 377 : Green Plum Meets Wine 28 (1/2)

Shi Sheng felt like this setting was a real ball ache. ‘Really wanna pummel System… The fuck kind of trash storyline is this? Why do I, a mere supporting female lead, need such a grand background? Can’t I(bbb) just have a happy family? Can’t you just let me(bbb) quietly show off?’

[Host, every person has their own family and background. In the original storyline, Sheng Xia inherited only the liquid assets which her parents had left behind for her. Since they had changed hands several times, of course no one could find anything, so she appeared to be a regular rich girl. But since you want to dig up the truth, you will naturally have to take a completely different route from Sheng Xia.]

‘Testing my(bbb) IQ? Fuck!’

“Uncle Gu, you guys should just stay out of this. I’ll deal with it on my own.”

Gu Yan immediately turned stern. “What can a young lady like you do? I was already worried enough pushing you into the spotlight…”

They’d been planning on using this method to lure out the people hidden in the shadows.

He’d thought of taking her with him and just leaving, but then he found that his every move was under constant surveillance. The situation on Yu Xingyun’s end was better, but going overseas was sure to spook their watchers and could cause them to take extreme action.

Since those people had merely been keeping an eye on them for two years, but hadn’t done anything else, it proved that they didn’t want to kill Sheng Xia.

As long as those people weren’t after their lives, they still had playing chips they could use.

“Uncle Gu, thank you. But you and Uncle Yu shouldn’t involve yourselves in this anymore, if you want what’s best for me. You need to believe in me;, I’m more capable than you think.”

Gu Yan’s arguments were all soundly refuted by Shi Sheng. Despite being an adult, he couldn’t win against a child.

“Then when are you planning on going back?”

“No rush. I still need to collect more data.”

After separating from Gu Yan, Shi Sheng gave Yu Jiu a call to ask whether he’d been the one dealing with any suspicious people around her.

Yu Jiu affirmed rather happily that it was the case, in a tone that was begging for praise. Had he been standing here right now, Shi Sheng would’ve smacked the phone in his face.

……

After much pondering, Shi Sheng felt like using her brain was truly too tiring, so she brought her sword with her while making a beeline for the Long Family mansion.

“Who are you looking for?” The servant who answered was frightened when they saw Shi Sheng’s dark expression and the sword in her hand.

“Open up.”

Of course, the servant didn’t dare to let her in. “Miss, who are you looking for?”

Feeling impatient, Shi Sheng lifted her hand and brought her sword down on the iron gates.

The once sturdy-looking gates couldn’t withstand even a single blow before it was cleaved in two.

The servant shrieked as they ran off to the side. Shi Sheng strode in.

“Miss, who are you looking for? You can’t go in! Please leave—” Shi Sheng pointed her sword at the speaker, causing them to retreat fearfully.

Anyone who dared to try to stop her was definitely going to get hacked…

This continued all the way to Long Run’s study.

Bang!

The people in the study jumped in fright, but seeing the person standing outside caused them even more shock.

“Sheng Xia!” Long Run appeared much older than he had three years ago, but he was still as loud when he bellowed.

Shi Sheng’s gaze swept over those present. “All here, eh?”

Yin Mo and Shen Jiayin were here, as well as two other old men Shi Sheng didn’t recognise.

She didn’t know who was in the video, but she recognised this room. It was the background from the video. Even the furniture was the same.

Long Run must’ve been involved.
