Chapter 671 - Theres Something Wrong With This Dungeon! (32) (1/2)

Jing Xian’s last name was Xie.

He was the eldest young master of the Xie family. His mother, however, died young. After that, his father remarried, and they had another son.

Which was the second young master of the Xie family.

Jing Xian was the first heir to the Xie family inheritance. So naturally, he was an eyesore to both the second young master and his mother.

A few years ago, they orchestrated a car accident on Jing Xian, which left him in a vegetative state. They imagined that he would never regain consciousness from that state. Hence they left him there and hired a caretaker for him. Basically, they left him for dead.

Who would’ve thought that he would suddenly regain consciousness?

The second young master was fearful that Jing Xian would fight for his inheritance back, so he sent his men to assassinate him.

“Who sent this nursing pod?” Shi Sheng asked fiercely as she pointed towards the pod that Jing Xuan had been lying in.

The man in shades shook his head vigorously, “We have no idea! I swear! Please don’t kill us. We’re just doing our job!”

“How much did they pay you?” Shi Sheng asked as she raised one brow cynically.

“……” The man in shades kept his mouth shut.

Shi Sheng growled, “How much?!” Her iron sword pierced the wooden table beside him when she raised her voice, instantly splitting the table into three pieces.

“Ah!!! One million… They were going to pay each of us one million after the deed was done.” Replied the man in shades fearfully.

“I’ll give each of you five million to kill that second young master. How about that?”

The man’s eyes widened in shock. He probably did not anticipate that Shi Sheng would suggest such an odd request.

“That’s……”

“It’s easy to negotiate money, but to negotiate one’s life… I don’t think it’ll be as simple.” Shi Sheng threatened.

The man in shades stared at the iron sword that Shi Sheng was holding. His face immediately went pale as he quickly nodded, “Of course, it’s no problem at all! We’re all here just to earn a living. After all, money is money, it doesn’t matter who pays it.”

Shi Sheng ordered them to give her their bank details. After sending the money their way, she spoke, “You guys could betray us if you like. I don’t care. However, the consequences of your actions… You can think about it on your own. Now scram, and close the door.”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

The man in shades rounded up his underlings and left the room. All of them then quickly ran and crawled out of the compound as fast as they could. After running for a distance, they finally stopped on their tracks and began to pant when they made sure no one followed them.

“B-boss… Are we… Are we really going to kill the second young master for her?”

The man in shades took off his sunglasses and clenched his teeth before replying, “Money is money, anyone’s will do! You saw how terrifying she was! Not to mention, she said she would give us 5 million each. So, once we finish this job, we’ll leave this country for good.”

“But the Xie family……”

“There’s enough sons in the Xie family to form a soccer team. Do you really think that that idiot is that precious to their household?” The man in shades sneered.

He took on this mission because they had done many errands for the second young master. They thought that even if Xie Jing Xian woke up, he would be frail. It would have been an easy task for them to assassinate him.

But who knew that they would meet a psycho.

“You’re right, Boss.”

“Let’s go!” The man in shades commanded as he pushed his sunglasses back.

……

These people knew Jing Xian regained his consciousness because Ah Yue had informed her employers. The turn of events left Ah Yue in shock. She was overcome with guilt when she realised Jing Xian’s life was in danger because of her.

Jing Xian had no recollection of any events that the man in shades mentioned. In respect for Jing Xian, Shi Sheng let him decide what he wanted to do. If he wanted to know about what had happened, she would help him find out everything in detail.

But Jing Xian had no intention to dig any further.

Shi Sheng gave Ah Yue a generous sum of money and advised her to leave the city.

She brought Jing Xian to a hospital for a check-up, then brought him back to her home.

It’s been a while since she came home. Her villa felt more desolate than usual. Shi Sheng turned on all the lights and carried Jing Xian to the sofa.

Jing Xian gently tugged at her sleeve, blushing as he wrote on a piece of paper, “I can walk on my own.”

He was able to walk on his own now. Even though he was moving slowly, but he did not need Shi Sheng to carry him around anymore.

“Alright, I was just worried you would fall.” She replied. As Shi Sheng tucked him in with a soft blanket, she asked him once more, “Do you really not want to know anything concerning the Xie family?”

When she first saw him in the game, she remembered the look he had in his eyes. Although it was just for a second, she knew.

At the time, the expression that he had was one where only people who had experienced horrible things would make.

Jing Xian tightly clenched the pen in his hand for a moment, then slowly wrote his reply. “Do you think… that I should know about it?”

Domineering CEO Sheng has been activated. “There’s no should or should not. In this case, there’s only if you wish to or not.”
