Chapter 684 - Teenage Girl Enforcer(3) (2/2)
“What’s wrong with her lately?” Shangguan Jiu asked.
“Nothing, Miss Yan always takes her medicine and goes to bed on time.” The servant replied emotionlessly.
Shangguan Jiu suddenly reached out and grabbed the servant by the neck. The servant’s dull expression quickly became sullen, replacing her dull look with horror. Her mouth opened, gasping desperately for air as she flailed and hit Shangguan Jiu with her hands.
But Shangguan Jiu tightened his grip on her neck, the servant’s struggling became increasingly weaker, and her hands eventually fell to her sides lifelessly.
“Trash.” Shangguan Jiu tossed the servant aside.
The two bodyguards by the stairs immediately stepped forward. Without question, they dragged the servant’s lifeless body down the stairs as if they’d done this routinely.
Shangguan Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands for a full minute before throwing the handkerchief away and twisted the doorknob of the adjacent room.
This room was full of computer screens, all showing surveillance footage, with most of the footage from Shi Sheng’s room.
Shangguan Jiu pulled up the nearest monitor, grabbed a chair and sat down, patiently observing the screen.
Shi Sheng couldn’t get out of bed before. She just stayed in bed all the time and basically didn’t do anything but sleep.
Shangguan Jiu continued to stare at the footage of Shi Sheng, watching it over and over again.
If the corner of the footage didn’t flicker, he would have suspected that he was looking at a still picture.
Shangguan Jiu observed the footage for a long time and didn’t notice anything unusual. All the footage was as normal as it always was.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He stopped after three strokes and stared at the screen through the gaps in his fingers.
This footage is too normal.
This was not the reaction of a normal person.
The computer screen froze on a frame of Shi Sheng sleeping, focused on her innocent and vulnerable expression.
Shangguan Jiu stretched out his hand and ran his fingertips across the screen a couple of times. His mouth slowly stretched into a smile.
Such an interesting little girl. Regrettably, she has been too disobedient and needs to be taught a lesson.
……
Shi Sheng was in an unfamiliar place. Unless Feng Ci was with her, she would always sleep lightly. Even in the middle of the night, she would notice immediately if someone entered her room.
She did not react immediately but waited for the person to come closer.
But he did not enter the room. After what sounded like a soft whisper, he left the room, locking the door.
“……” Why would he come in? Just to watch her sleep?”
Shi Sheng listened closely. It sounded like there was something in the room.
Shi Sheng reached out to switch on the lights, but she felt something cold and soft instead, and her wrist began to hurt.
“Pop!” Shi Sheng switched on the lights and lit up the room. She caught a glimpse of a little snake that had wrapped itself around her hand, its fangs planted firmly into her wrist. Other than a slight sting, it wasn’t exactly painful. It shouldn’t be venomous.
In the room, the small snakes that entered had clumped together in front of the door. The way each of them slithered on the floor looked highly unnerving.
What the fuck?! This pervert actually released snakes on me!
Can’t this bastard be a bit more creative?
Now, where’s my blade?
Shi Sheng ripped the little snake from her wrist and smashed it on the ground. She lifted the covers and jumped out of bed, using her sword to lift all the little snakes onto the bed and wrap them up with the bed covers.
She carried the snakes and walked to the door, but it was locked from the other side. Shi Sheng broke the lock with her sword and went out.
The two bodyguards stationed outside suddenly turned to look at her.
Shi Sheng raised her hand and threw the snake-filled bed covers at them.
The moment they quickly opened the bed covers to see what was inside, their bodies were already swarmed by the little snakes. Some snakes got into their clothes and onto their bodies, ready to sink their fangs into their flesh if they moved.
