Chapter 475 – An Eye For An Eye
I was stunned on the spot as the truck driver was taken away by traffic police. I stood there and let Xiao Qin stay in my embrace for over 10 minutes, until I suddenly realized Xiao Qin put us into a dangerous situation on purpose.
That’s ridiculous! Regardless of how confident you are of yourself, how can you risk your life to create so romance? Your love is too fanatical, almost to the extent of the terrorists who committed 911.
I angrily grabbed her shoulder and pushed her out of my embrace. Xiao Qin’s arms were shorter than mines, so she could only helplessly reach out her arms towards my chest with a pitiful expression while asking for a hug.
So now you’re pretending to be fragile again? Earlier, your stance was extrely sturdy when you were running in the opposite direction as . You would rather create a romantic atmosphere between us than saving your life?
“Ren Xiao Qin.” I called her by her full na to make her realize the importance of the situation, “We almost got run over by a truck, why are you still so happy?”
“It’s not a big deal.” Xiao Qin was still smiling, “It wasn’t fast enough to hit us. If we did die, then we would get transported together to a fairy tale world.”
What the hell is a fairy tale world? A world with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?
“Why is Ye Lin classmate pretending not to be familiar with the fairy tale world, didn’t we both co over from that world?”
“What? How co I don’t rember?”
“Ah, it’s terrible that Ye Lin classmate doesn’t have mories of his past life!” Xiao Qin slapped her forehead in lant, “Actually, Ye Lin class mate was an alligator in your past life and I was a cat. We lived together happily until we were killed by an evil female hunter. Then the two of us were transported together into a human world.”
It’s a bunch of nonsense, the hunter is clearly a reference to the class leader. Why would she kill both of us? And if I was an alligator, why would I live with a cat?
“...because it’s a fairy tale world.” So a fairy tale world doesn’t need to follow and rationality? How convenient.
Xiao Qin’s thod of sacrificing her body for love was too radical. I had to make her calm down or it might endanger us in the future.
“I won’t hold your hand at all this week.”
“What, why?”
“You’re still asking why? It seems your becoming even more moronic. I can’t believe you were ssing around when a truck was coming towards us, that will eventually kill us. If you don’t get smarter, then you can’t be my girlfriend anymore.”
“But, but... I wouldn’t be hit. I had at least three thods to avoid it...”
So it’s because you had a lot of confidence it yourself? But I still can’t encourage her actions or it will lead to trouble one day.
“You have to stop these actions in the future.”
“You can’t go close to other dangerous areas either. If you don’t know what’s a dangerous area, then it’s anywhere that may take you to another world.”
“But Ye Lin classmate, I’ll be troubled if you stop from flushing a toilet...”
“Who said you can’t flush a toilet? Why would flushing a toilet be dangerous?”
“I heard from an ani group that in the show ‘Kyo Kara Maoh!’, the main protagonist traveled to another world when he flushed the toilet, so....”
What a weird setting. If the protagonist can travel to another world through a toilet, then wouldn’t a lot of piss and shit also travel to that world? I can’t even imagine that scene where dark brown and yellow is raining from the sky. It’s a good thing I already ate...
I told Xiao Qin she had to obey traffic laws, stay away from power lines, furnaces, chemicals, and other dangerous areas. It felt like I was educating a kindergartner.
The sa night, I listened to the listening device recordings as usual. I thought I wouldn’t learn anything, but I heard a conversation between Su Qiao and her manager, Fu ShiJian.
Fu ShiJian was telling Su Qiao to accompany a client to drink, but she declined. I thought it was a useless conversation, but I never thought one of Fu ShiJian’s sentences would cause my heart to skip.
He said to Su Qiao: “Madam Ai ShuQiao would never help you unconditionally, don’t get too overconfident. Anyone who goes against doesn’t have a good ending. I’ll let the one who took you in have a good taste of my power. If you don’t report back to the company, whatever accidents he gets into, for example getting run over by a truck, is not my responsibility.”
“Get run over by a truck?”
It can’t be that much of a coincidence where I ran into trouble the sa day Fu ShiJian made the sa threats. The most reasonable explanation was Fu ShiJian was the one who arranged the truck that almost ran over and Xiao Qin.
He’s actually going for my life? I may be the second shareholder of Tian Mu Xing Guang Corp, but I haven’t fought for control of the company. And you should have already known I was Ai ShuQiao’s daughter, wouldn’t killing the boss’ son affect your future?
I then rembered what Ai ShuQiao once said: It was efficient to create rules through competition.
Ai ShuQiao, who revered the strong, felt contempt for the weak. I’m afraid to her, any thod, including homicide, was an acceptable ans in competitions. Even if her son died, she wouldn’t be angry at Fu ShiJian, she would only feel nothing as it was simply because her son wasn’t as strong as she expected.
I thought Fu ShiJian was only a pervert, I never expected him to be this rciless and vicious.
What made more mad was his actions also threatened Xiao Qin.
Although the dangerous situation was caused by Xiao Qin’s stupidity, I won’t allow anyone else to threaten Xiao Qin’s life.
Since he used this incident to declare war, then fine, Fu ShiJian will be one of the scoundrels I won’t forgive. I’ll use any ans necessary to defeat you.
I began to consider what resources I had after I made my resolve. Peng TouSi was on my side, so I could ask for his help if it gets dangerous. If anyone knew soone was after her daughter, Auntie Ren wouldn’t stand idle. But she was pregnant, so I had to try and not anger her.
I could even use Eunuch Cao and the Five Tigers. After I thought about it, I ca to a conclusion that Eunuch Cao could only create rumors online about Fu ShiJian. As for the Five Tigers, I could only try and mislead the enemy because he would think all my underlings are trash.
What was unexpected was the next morning when I was eating breakfast, I heard a news report on TV: A certain company’s manager, Fu ShiJian, was kidnapped from his office last night. Only one of his ears was left behind at the scene, no one knew if he was dead or alive. They suspected it was a violent gang who committed the cri...
I imdiately spat out all the bread in my mouth. Su Qiao’s eyes also bulged out in disbelief.
Who did it, who’s that vicious? It’s true Ai ShuQiao is capable of it, but she would never do it for . Peng TouSi might be good at information gathering and fighting, but he tried to forgive people for their mistakes after he reached enlightennt, so he wouldn’t cut off soone’s ear.
I don’t know why, but I feel like the mastermind is Xiao Qin! An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth really suits her style! But if Fu ShiJian was so vicious and rciless, he would definitely have a couple bodyguards ard with guns near him at all tis. Xiao Qin might be a genius martial artists, but there’s no way she can charge in alone, kidnap Fu ShiJian, then cut off one of his ears as a demonstration.
Did she have help? The Rose Group listens to her, but this wasn’t a cri a group of young girls could commit! If it was an adult, then isn’t it just the shoe repair uncle? He didn’t seem like he knew how to fight, so he should be unrelated.
I suddenly rembered what Xiao Qin said to when I realized Xiao Qin had installed a listening device in the lunchbox she gave : The shoemaker was desperate and that’s why he relied on help from ‘us’.
When I asked Xiao Qin what she ant by ‘us’, she avoided the question. She only said her mom didn’t like them and I shouldn’t get too close.
Why would people who Auntie Ren didn’t like work together with Xiao Qin and take in the shoe repair uncle. Just thinking about it sent shivers down my back.
I left behind Su Qiao, who was confused about whether she should be happy or worried after hearing the news, and ran to the school. The first sentence I asked Xiao Qin was:
“Xiao Qin, what’s your relationship with the people who kidnapped Fu ShiJian.”
“Huh, Fu ShiJian sounds familiar. Is he the one they were talking about on the news, the manager who got his ear cut off?”
Xiao Qin pretended to be innocent. The news didn’t even use Fu ShiJian’s full na, so she was definitely related.
Under my incessant questioning, Xiao Qin looked up and seed to carelessly say:
“Who knows who Fu ShiJian provoked, maybe brother Optimus Pri was the one who did it.”
“Bullshit.” I was furious, “And you were the one who said brother Optimus Pri was taken by a cri syndicate.”
Xiao Qin said with a laugh: “Um maybe they really liked brother Optimus Pri, so they listened to him and ca to pay their gratitude to Ye Lin classmate. Since there’s the ‘The Cat Returns‘, then it isn’t strange to have ‘The Cri Syndicate Returns’.”
