Be it the Su family’s biological son Su Mushi or adopted daughter Su Ruowan, they were ruthless animals all the same.
Even a dog would wag its tail at its master. What was the point of raising Su Ruowan? She would only mercilessly bite the hand that fed her when it came to the crunch.
Watching the heinous crime unfold before their eyes, some of the timid onlookers in the corridor covered their mouths as they gasped sharply and looked away.
Those who were brave got a load of Su Mushi being carried away and Su Ruowan shivering under a blanket against the wall. Feeling a mix of emotions, they felt a creepy sensation under their skin.
The siblings had turned against each other. Su Mushi tried to kill Su Ruowan after his failed attempt in the morning. Still, he was not successful and was shot instead. It was not known whether he was dead or alive.
Su Mushi might be bad news, but Su Ruowan was one to look out for too. Otherwise, a vulnerable girl like her would be defenseless against Su Mushi.
Taking a glance at Shen Xi, Lin Chan nodded at her but was unable to squeeze in a smile. She never imagined that filming a TV series would invite so much trouble.
Jesus. Li Jingran and Su Yi were monsters while the daughter they raised was an antisocial psychopath. Su Ruowan and Su Mushi were both maniacs.
Thank goodness the siblings only laid hands on each other instead of society. Otherwise, countless lives may be lost if Su Mushi held the gun at the production team.
Shen Xi gave a friendly nod back before closing the door to her room.
Kun Lun already sent the information and photos of the crime to his men. His men took a bit of time to organize the intel and post online. The headlines that came out of nowhere dethroned Su Yi and Li Jingran’s scandal as the top trending spot for a change.
The netizens were back to keyboard warrior mode. They thought the doors were closing for Li Jingran and Su Yi’s skeletons in the closet, but the fact was, it was only the beginning. The news only got better with one scoop after another. The climatic narratives were in line with a cliché TV series of the rich and famous.
In the presidential suite, Li Yuan laid out the supper delivered by Kun Lun on the table. Gazing at the girl who was nestled on the sofa and scrolling through the news on her phone, he softly uttered, “Have something to eat and look at it later.”
She had been sleeping until now since he did not want to wake her from her sweet dreams. Shen Xi must be hungry after sleeping through dinner.
“Oh.” Shen Xi perked her nose for a sniff. She looked at him and mewed, “Brother, let’s switch hotels. Su Mushi ruined the hotel’s fengshui.”
Most importantly, the Su family’s foul blood spread a disgusting stank in the air. It made her sick to her stomach. It was best to leave the place the soonest.
“Sure.” Li Yuan glanced at the food on the table and frowned. A clear chilling glint flashed past his eyes. They could not eat the good food as it was polluted now. He approached the girl. “Let’s go out for a meal and book a hotel after that.”
“The caravan’s good enough.” Shen Xi grinned from ear to ear. It was an easy choice.
They were in the only five-star hotel in the city. The other accommodations were chained motels. Knowing the hygienic conditions and amenities of these motels, they might as well stay in the caravan.
The crowd in the hallway dispersed as soon as Su Mushi was lifted away in a stretcher. Su Ruowan was the only one left there sliding to the ground and crying without a word.
Kneeling by Su Ruowan, a middle-aged policewoman talked to her to ease her nerves. Nevertheless, the policewoman had more doubts than sympathy for Su Ruowan.
The Su family’s dirty linen rocked the community to its core. The policewoman surmised that Su Ruowan’s post to disassociate herself from the Su family made Su Mushi see red. He came to confront her, but with the talk going south, he wanted to take revenge by killing her in a fit of rage. It all made sense.
However, the person who ended up unconscious from a gunshot wound was not Su Ruowan but Su Mushi. She wondered how a delicate girl like Su Ruowan was able to reverse the situation and kill Su Mushi in return.
Su Ruowan was crying out loud when her eyes suddenly shifted to the end of the corridor.
The policewoman followed her gaze and noticed a couple drawing close.
The girl was bundled up, revealing only her eyes and nose. Her face was not visible, but judging by her bearing, it was clear she was a beautiful woman. The girl clung sweetly to the man’s arm.
The man was more than good-looking and had a refined mien to him. He wore a long black trench coat paired with a red scarf while carrying a suitcase in one hand. With downcast eyes, he talked to the girl with an affectionate smile across his lips.
“Shen Xi.” Out of the blue, Su Ruowan stood up and shouted as though she had gone mad. She charged toward Shen Xi and gave her the evil eye. She yelled, “Did you do this? You got Su Mushi out to kill me!”
Without giving Su Ruowan the time of day, Shen Xi pulled Li Yuan to walk along.
“It was you. It must be you.” Hot with emotions, Su Ruowan screeched hysterically.
Cooperation was no longer in the cards. Su Ruowan was dying to slice Shen Xi apart and feed her to the dogs.
Su Ruowan dwelled in her thoughts for a long time before figuring out the meaning behind the look Shen Xi gave her when she got into the police car this morning. Shen Xi must have put a stick in the wheels and somehow got the Su family to come after her.
“Please keep an eye on her.” With callous eyes, Li Yuan’s tone carried an unquestionable command. He stared at the two special police officers who were restraining Su Ruowan.
“I know it was you. Why did you do this to me?” Su Ruowan exclaimed rashly while fighting to break free from the police. By the looks of her eyes and actions, she wanted to eat Shen Xi up alive. “You got away with it. Are you happy now?”
Su Ruowan believed it had been a trap Shen Xi had set up since the start for her to fall into.
She betrayed the Su family. There was no turning back the moment she fired the gun at Su Mushi. It was her against the world.
Yet now, there was nothing more Su Ruowan could do. She watched as Shen Xi got into the elevator and disappeared out of sight as the doors closed.
“Shen Xi!” Su Ruowan growled frantically. Gaining strength from sheer will, she shook off the police and charged toward the elevator. She struggled to pry open the elevator doors.
Shen Xi. The b*tch was out to get her. It was clear that Shen Xi had Su Mushi come over to kill her. It must be Shen Xi. Su Ruowan felt it in her gut.
She wanted to kill Shen Xi!
