Chapter 776 The Editor In Chief Is Too Absurd (23)
By the time s.h.i.+ Sheng returned home it was already eleven o’clock. The neighborhood was quiet. No one was there.
s.h.i.+ Sheng parked her car and went through the green area. There seemed to be footsteps overlapping her footsteps in the dark.
s.h.i.+ Sheng did not appear to notice that and was walking at her usual pace.
“Don’t move.”
Something hard was held against s.h.i.+ Sheng’s waist. A hoa.r.s.e voice came behind her.
“Hand over all your money, cards, and phone.” The robber appeared to be a recidivist, he sounded calm.
“Hurry up.” another person showed up in front of s.h.i.+ Sheng, but the thing holding against her waist was still there. There were two of them.
“Don’t you have some guts? To be robbing me?” s.h.i.+ Sheng raised her foot and kicked the robber behind her as she was done speaking. That robber was caught off guard and kicked in his calf. He backed off a few steps.
The other robber lunged at s.h.i.+ Sheng immediately when he saw that.
s.h.i.+ Sheng drew her sword and slashed at the robber in front of her. The sword sliced right above his head and a gush of chills surged through his body.
He lost control of his body as if someone pressed a pause b.u.t.ton on him. He could only watch the girl in front of him trod at him.
s.h.i.+ Sheng knocked both of them down and stacked them on the ground. She stepped on the back of the person on top, “now, tell me. Who sent you?”
“Aiyo, my majesty. All we needed was some money. Please be merciful and forgive us. We promise we’ll never do this again.”
Robber A cried and begged for mercy instantly.
Robber B seconded, “miss, we promise we won’t do this anymore.”
“You only wanted to rob me?” s.h.i.+ Sheng asked with a strange tone with her sword playing around the robber on top.
“Yes, yes, yes. This is our fault. We shouldn’t rob you. We won’t do it anymore.”
“Bulls.h.i.+t!” s.h.i.+ Sheng yelled.
Robber A and B jumped in shocked, looked at s.h.i.+ Sheng bizarrely.
“You’ve been tailing me since I got off work and trying to crash my car on the way. Do you think I’m blind?”
The robbers,”…”
They had been discussing how she managed to avoid them every time so coincidentally.
“Say, which r.e.t.a.r.d sent you?” s.h.i.+ Sheng put more pressure on her foot.
“Ow…” robber A howled in pain.
Both of them were not willing to give in and endured the pain. s.h.i.+ Sheng respected them for having a backbone, so she carried them up to her floor and tied them up.
She came out of her s.p.a.ce with a recorder, but it was unusable, so she had to use her phone instead.
“You… what are you trying to do?” robber A s.h.i.+vered in fear. What is this woman trying to do?
“I’m going to make a special film.” s.h.i.+ Sheng set up her phone, “tell me, how will your family and friends feel if I upload this to the internet?”
Robber A was wearing a ring. It was evident that he was married.
“You…” Robber A’s expression changed gravely, “if you have anything, just come at me.”
“Sure, then tell me. Who wants to harm me?”
Robber B justified, “miss, do you have persecutory delusion? We really robbed you because we needed money.”
s.h.i.+ Sheng snorted, “I not only have a persecutory delusion, but I’m also even mentally ill!”
Robbers, “…” yes, it’s apparent that you’re mentally ill.
s.h.i.+ Sheng would never go soft on people like them. After a round of torture, both of them could not bear it and told her who hired them.
Initially, they wanted to create a car accident and killed her with an accident.
But they failed, so they planned to rape her.
Nie Cheng was on time to work.
“Get ready for the meeting.” Nie Cheng ordered his a.s.sistant as he stepped into his office.
“Sure.”
The office chair suddenly turned around the moment Nie Cheng entered his office, “Chief Editor Nie, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Nie Cheng looked at the office door and looked back to s.h.i.+ Sheng. His eyes were filled with complication, and bellowed softly, “who let you in!”
s.h.i.+ Sheng smiled and pressed the play b.u.t.ton on her phone.
“Is… is Nie Cheng. Nie Cheng hired us… we only do what we were told to do. He instructed us to do so.”
“Is… is Nie Cheng…”
s.h.i.+ Sheng pressed the pause key, looked at Nie Cheng with a dark face, asked softly, “Chief Editor Nie, you want to get me killed?”
“Xin Yi, don’t sprout nonsense here. Get the heck out!” Nie Cheng pointed at the door, “don’t think that you have Shu Jue behind you. You get to do whatever you want.”
s.h.i.+ Sheng got up and put her phone into her pocket. Her fingertip slid along the office desk and headed out slowly.
She carried a faint smile on her face. The smile was so faint it did not reach the bottom of her eyes. Her glance was like a lake that was frozen for a thousand years, seething with cold air, without the slightest ripple.
As she walked to the side, s.h.i.+ Sheng grabbed the porcelain ornament on the desk and smashed it at Nie Cheng aggressively, “piece of s.h.i.+t, trying to kill me, how dare you!”
Nie Cheng did not expect s.h.i.+ Sheng to hit him, so he could not dodge in time and got smacked squarely.
There was a pain on his forehead, and a warm liquid flowed down, coloring his vision with red.
He vaguely saw s.h.i.+ Sheng heading towards him and was punched in the abdomen. Before he could fight back, he felt chills at his neck.
Something icy cold against his skin, the cold air seeped into his skin.
s.h.i.+ Sheng whacked Nie Cheng up.
She did not forget to boast, “go ahead and sue me if you dare. We’ll see who will end up more miserable.”
The worst sentence she could get from beating people up was a fine, but Nie Cheng hiring a.s.sa.s.sins to kill her was not something a mere fine could settle.
s.h.i.+ Sheng blew the hair that covered her vision and dragged her sword out loudly.
She pulled open the door.
The a.s.sistant outside looked at her palely. Her phone was on a call with the cops.
s.h.i.+ Sheng reached out and helped her hang up, smiled maliciously at her, and strutted away.
……
s.h.i.+ Sheng returned to her department as if nothing happened and began to do her work.
Nothing seemed to happen after she whacked Nie Cheng up.
She had evidence with her, so Nie Cheng would not dare to report to the police station.
“Dit dit…”
Yu She: Let’s have dinner after work.
s.h.i.+ Sheng jerked up to sit straight, looked at those few words for some time to make sure that she was seeing it right before replying.
Ancestor: Is Chief Editor Shu asking me out?
Yu She: Yes.
Ancestor: Are you saying that we’re together now?
Yu She: I’m just giving us a try. If we’re not compatible, then we can move on to our separate ways.
s.h.i.+ Sheng bounced up from her chair. As her movement was too big, she pushed the doc.u.ments off her table and made a huge ‘pak’ sound, startling her coworkers.
What’s she doing? That frightened me.
