Mu Rulan began to search through the items available in the car . She found a box of condoms, a small bottle of perfume, a few pencils, and a utility knife . They were obviously things that belonged to the girl in the car before .
If she stuffed all of these in her pockets, she would definitely be asked to take off her jacket once she got out of the car . There would be no way to conceal them all . Translated by The Novelst
And most of all, the people present were mostly tall and strong men . She was outnumbered, and even if she wanted to escape now, it was too late . And it was even more impossible for her to turn around and leave knowing that Jin Biaohu had kidnapped her little brother . And also…
The tip of Mu Rulan’s tongue probed out of her mouth a little and she licked her lower lips . She looked dangerous and tempting behind the yellow headlights of her car .
Most psychopaths were charming and had good appearances . They were typically very popular, eloquent, and could disassociate themselves through slick speech .
They were selfish, good at disguise, and self-centered . Some didn’t feel fear at all .
Mu Rulan was a psycho: her case might be a little special, but the little devil in her heart definitely held the characteristics of a psychopath mentioned in all the books on criminal psychology .
She wasn’t scared at all . She was even a little excited .
Ah… her prey was trying to fight back against the hunter? How interesting . Hm, a pencil? It was sharp: what would happen if she used it to pierce the eyes?
There was no need to worry . She would be careful not to touch the brain . And the knife… It was so easy to hold in her hand . It was the best tool to use to cut a throat open, to make blood pour down like a waterfall . It would be beautiful to see them laying in a pool of blood, body twitching all over…
……
The screen of the white phone, smashed, lying in the middle of the road, suddenly lit up . The message had finally sent .
At the Mu Family residence .
Ke Wanqing was busy . Her phone vibrated on the table and she gave herself a moment for annoyance to well up before picking it up to see what it was . She saw it was a message from Mu Rulan .
But the contents of the message were nigh unreadable and seemed to have been a mistake, so she didn’t give it too much thought and returned her phone to its place to continue with her work .
In K City, at the Love bar .
The atmosphere inside the room was tense . A group of men, all in black, looked avidly over the five young boys and girls across from them . They had guns in their hands, yet did not dare make a move .
Opposite them was a young boy seated on a black sofa, relaxed with his legs crossed . He looked like the thorns that grew on the flowers of a cactus; beautiful yet dangerous .
“The things that I said today you can take some time to think about . There’s no need to rush . It’s better to wait until your head cools down,” Duan Yao said casually, a glass of wine held casually in his hand . “Humans tend to make the wrong choice when panicked . And those choices have consequences, like…”
Bang! The glass of red wine slammed to the ground and the piercing ring of glass shattering caused a few of the men to tremble . They resisted the urge to kneel .
The fairy-like appearance of the young boy lit up as he chuckled .
“Please walk slowly, ya,” Liu Feiyang offered them some friendly advice .
The gathered men seemed to be locked in place, still stunned by Duan Yao’s sudden movements . None of them dared move .
A girl beside Liu Feiyang narrowed her eyes, icy gaze roving over the group of men . “Still not getting out?”
The group of men shivered . They rushed out of the room in a single-file line .
When they finally left, Li Shen jokingly kicked at Taishi Niangzi . “I see you’re getting better at pretending to be cool . ”
She kicked back . “Do I need to pretend?”
Duan Yao stood, yawning lazily and stretching . “Let’s go back and sleep…”
Just as he walked out of the room, all their phones buzzed at the same time . They took out their phones simultaneously . It seemed they had all received a message .
“Huh, it’s Lan Lan,” Taishi Niangzi said in surprise . She was confused: “But what’s this message saying?”
Duan Yao and the others were also confounded . Had she sent it by mistake or was it in code?
Duan Yao, rooted in place, called Mu Rulan’s phone multiple times, but no one answered .
“Don’t tell me something has happened?” Taishi Niangzi said, expression serious .
Duan Yao frowned a little, thumb rubbing unconsciously at the ring on his index finger . Mu Rulan rarely sent messages . If she needed something, she would simply call . And most suspiciously: she had sent this message in bulk?
Of course, this wasn’t to exclude the possibility that Mu Rulan had sent the message by accident . But he didn’t plan to leave it there .
“Mo, go check Lan Lan’s whereabouts for today . ”
K City . The Lu Family . Translated by The Novelst
At the dining table, Mother Lu was scooping rice into bowls . She couldn’t help but begin nagging again, “Qianren ah… You need to put in some effort . Your aunt, mother and grandfather all really liked Lan Lan…”
Lu Zimeng immediately began hacking and coughing, all triggered by the mention of Mu Rulan .
