1082 Perplexed and Smitten 142
Upon hearing her words, Fang Erlan imdiately said, “I’m staying in room 1236.”
Realizing that he had gotten the wrong person, the man imdiately said, “I’ll go and nab that woman in room 1238 right now. Shall we release this woman?”
Fang Erlan gazed at the woman earnestly, hoping that she would agree to release her.
To her astonishnt, the woman scoffed and said, “What for? These little guys have been hungry for a while. They must be famished. Feed her to them.”
Fang Erlan imdiately collapsed and glowered at the woman angrily while her hands trembled uncontrollably. However, she kept her cool and exclaid, “Do... you know who I am? If you dare do that to , my boss is not going to let you off!”
“Your boss? Who?”
“An Xiaoning.”
The woman squinted and asked, “An Xiaoning?”
“That’s right, her!”
“She doesn’t even know that I’m the one who abducted you. Who would find out by the ti these little guys devour you and chew you down to your bones?”
“You’re such a fool. How did you even beco a leader? I suggest you send back imdiately and put an end to this. Think about the consequences you’d have to face before you lay a finger on . Don’t bla for failing to remind you. You’ll suffer a greater loss by the ti you get yourself in trouble.”
Noticing how fearless Fang Erlan seed, as if she was not at all afraid of being fed to the wolves, the woman humphed and sneered, “This is not S Nation, what can she do to ? She’s not invincible.” She then ordered her henchn, “Kill this woman imdiately!”
Seeing that her threats seed to have no effect, Fang Erlan’s heart almost jumped out of her chest as her stomach twisted into a knot. She glued herself onto the ground and refused to move.
Just as the man was about to open the cage, she grabbed him and said, “Even if you don’t release on account of my boss, you should do so on your own account.”
“What do you an?”
“I’m Pei Yi’s old fla. If you refuse to believe , you may try calling him to ask him about it,” Fang Erlan said recklessly upon recalling what she had heard at the dining table. She was rely hoping for a miracle and trying to stall for ti.
The woman was shocked out of her senses. Seeing how confident Fang Erlan seed to be, she said to her henchman, “Watch her while I go upstairs to make a call.”
“Yes.”
Fang Erlan loosened her grip on the man. However, she was engulfed with even more fear and panic.
She had broken out in a cold sweat due to imnse fear and anxiety. The terror had robbed her of her speech, and she could not make a single sound.
The man shot her a glance and said, “If you dare lie to us...”
There was no way to put her emotions into words.
In reality, she was indeed lying to them.
She felt extrely regretful for not keeping a dagger with her at all tis. Had she done so, she would definitely have had the chance to escape.
Yet...
I’m only 24 years old this year. Am I really going to just die in this foreign land?
Why am I so unlucky?
The thought of becoming a feast for the wolves sent tears rolling down Fang Erlan’s face as her hands trembled incessantly.
She recalled her short and fleeting life. She had been raised by her grandmother ever since she was a child, and her parents had shown little to no concern or love for her at all. At so point, she even felt like she was an orphan.
After going through painstaking effort, she finally reached adulthood and gained financial independence. Yet, her grandmother had already passed away.
She had finally found soone who fancied her as much as she fancied them. And yet, Xiao Chenyang showed up out of the blue and disrupted her life.
Neither of her familial and romantic relationships ever worked out.
Her career was finally picking up...
She had just bought an apartnt and moved into a place she could call her own, a place she could call her ho.
The re few minutes felt like a century.
Finally, the woman returned again with a look of nace.
She was dressed in the devil’s color — red.
She made her intimidating entrance and walked down the stairs, sending shivers down Fang Erlan’s spine.
Fang Erlan grabbed onto the tal cage tightly for dear life while the woman approached her step by step. She was glowering at Fang Erlan and appeared as if she was about to devour her the next second.
“How dare you lie to . Why would my ancestor have an old fla like you? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You’re so ordinary-looking that there are plenty of won on the streets who are just like you!” The woman snorted with laughter and gibed, “I can’t believe I actually trusted your words and called him personally, only to receive a scolding from him. I didn’t actually plan to punish you myself, but it seems I must vent my frustration. So what if you’re not the person I originally wanted to abduct? Bla it on your misfortune to have bumped into !”
She tried to pull the door of the cage open, but to no avail because of how tightly Fang Erlan was gripping onto it. She put on a sinister smile and glared at Fang Erlan coldly before taking her ti to whip out a pistol.
Staring at the black pistol that was aid at her, Fang Erlan felt herself growing weak instantly, and her hands moved away from the cage involuntarily.
The woman had a nacing and sly gaze.
At this mont, Fang Erlan’s life was worth nothing to her.
Just as she was about to fire a bullet at Fang Erlan, she heard a deafening sound, followed by that of an explosion. The thick walls imdiately collapsed all of a sudden, and a figure zood toward the cage in no ti. The woman did not even manage to catch a glimpse of his face. He strangled her neck forcefully and lifted her into the air.
Everything happened all too suddenly.
Even Fang Erlan did not manage to see how he had made his entrance. The next thing she knew, the woman was now in his hands.
She sat on the ground, overwheld by astonishnt. She watched the man, who was dressed in an all-black ensemble and seething with exasperation, snapping the woman’s neck without even allowing her to speak.
The woman’s shriek ceased as soon as she let it out.
Fang Erlan was terrorized and had turned as pale as a sheet. She imdiately buried her face in her knees, not daring to look up at all.
Xiao Chenyang flung the woman aside and took a few glances at the wolves in front of him. He whipped out a weapon and flicked it against the wolves, causing them to howl in pain and roll around on the ground. He finally shifted his gaze onto the man who had peed in his pants out of fear.
The man watched Xiao Chenyang approach him and retreated in utmost fear. He pleaded incessantly, “Please don’t kill , please... please...”
Xiao Chenyang ignored him and continued advancing forward, until the man had nowhere to die.
The man could only see his shoes. Seeing that Xiao Chenyang had stopped in his tracks, he mustered up the courage to raise his head.
As soon as he did, he felt an excruciating pain in his neck. In less than twenty seconds, he collapsed onto the ground and spasd a few tis before he stopped breathing.
Blood was trickling down the glistening sword. Clearly, Xiao Chenyang had slit the man’s throat with it.
Xiao Chenyang wiped the blood off his sword by brushing it against the man’s body before placing it back inside its sheath.
