Chapter 136 When you are asking for it... Part 3
"What the heck are those?" Su Lin frowned.
They definitely seemed to have some sort of a medicinal property, even vaguely rejuvenating but they were at least ten fold weaker than her lowest grade body tempering liquid!
"I can sell these for a billion dollars?" Su Lin raised her eyebrows as her world views were enlightened.
She thought back to her days of manually grinding and making moisturizers and oils to make money and cried inside.
But it was still not completely useless. Rather than earning money, she wanted to build a brand. So it served the purpose just fine.
The Italian man finally managed to peel his eyes off of Luther and bid on the healing elixirs. It looked like this was the main reason for his attendance this time around.
He even got into a bidding war with someone else to forcefully grab these "precious" elixirs. The two hot shots blew away their money for a long time before the latter finally gave up.
And the finger nail sized elixirs actually ended up selling for 5 billion!!
The Italian young master who so shrewdly managed to bag such an important item turned around and smugly smiled at Luther.
He was clearly flaunting his overwhelming wealth.
Luther gritted his teeth. This fellow! I am not a piece of meat d.a.m.n it!
Since that was the last major item, the auction quickly ended and the big shots dispersed one by one.
Su Lin and Luther as well decided to return back to their hotel room. Poor little white would have been alone all morning.
But the famous duo now had two groups stalking them! Su Lin noticed the stray dogs following them and frowned.
"Looks like your fan is pretty committed!" She muttered to Luther whose eyes were darting here and there.
He was also able to sense the people following them. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, his reflexes were already sharp enough to trigger his intuition. And moreover, his soul core was already at stage 3.
So it was a piece of cake for him to detect these small fries.
Su Lin immediately held his hand and stopped him. "Don"t look at them just yet."
Her lips curved upward with a cold glint in her eyes. "I think the day has provided us with a wonderful opportunity... He he."
The husband and wife pair acted as if they were oblivious to the extra presence and continued drifting around the magical place until they reached an abandoned deserted corner.
The five st.u.r.dy men following them did not miss this rare opportunity and immediately took action.
They left the darkness and surrounded the husband and wife pair, encircling them with a cruel glint in their eyes.
Su Lin"s face contorted in fear. She had a completely panicked expression. She acted as if she was scared beyond her wits.
One of the bulky guys grinned and took a step forward to grab the helpless little woman.
Another guy even chimed in, as if his job was to make this empty threat more legitimate.
"Sigh. It"s been a long time since I killed a couple of lost little lambs like you with my bare hands. Unfortunately, the boss wants you alive."
And another added. "Boss, can I please play with this woman after we get the guy. She looks so tasty."
Luther almost couldn"t hold his laughter in, but what to do! The wifey loves the theatrics. He gritted his teeth and held back his laughter, that was threatening to erupt.
While Luther was struggling as if he was holding in his pee, the second party following them was in a complete emotional turmoil.
Since he finally found her after the suspicious disappearing act for several months, s.h.i.+ Meng thought it was a good chance for him to do some snooping around.
He needed to find the hidden truth behind his mysterious ex-wife. He clearly knew that she was up to no good, but he just didn"t know what exactly was her plan or intention.
So s.h.i.+ Meng patiently followed the husband and wife pair, as they slowly loitered around, hand in hand and whispering in each other"s ears.
"s.l.u.t, are you that happy to be in the arms of a man." He murmured. His mood was turning sour by the second.
Finally, after quite a while, they stopped their long obscene walk and even seemed to linger in a particularly questionable deserted corner.
"What is she doing here?"
s.h.i.+ Meng bit his finger nails and patiently watched when a group of strange men appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the husband and wife pair completely.
Su Lin"s small face turned color and she looked like she was extremely frightened!
Looking at her pathetic plight, s.h.i.+ Meng couldn"t help but sneer inside. It strangely felt very fulfilling.
He thoroughly enjoyed the numerous anxious expressions flitting across her face.
But suddenly, one of the well built men stepped forward and grabbed Su Lin brashly without any consideration that she was a woman.
s.h.i.+ Meng immediately felt a tremor running down his spine.
His hands wrapped around the steering wheel clenched tightly, as he gazed at the frail woman in captivity from the comfort of his car.
The sight that should have only made him a happier man, was instead turning his knuckles white.
He himself couldn"t decipher the thoughts running through his mind. He even wanted to dash out of the car and grab that sly evil woman out of harm"s way.
"I must be crazy" s.h.i.+ Meng ma.s.saged his eye brows and tried to think clearly.
While he was boiling in a mult.i.tude of emotions, the scene in front of him suddenly started changing...
The helpless woman, who was mercilessly held captive was no longer with the bulky man.
His eyes that were frantically searching for Su Lin suddenly bulged in surprise.
s.h.i.+ Meng couldn"t help but gasp loudly. He was utterly stunned!! What the h.e.l.l was happening???
Within a matter of seconds, his entire world had changed upside down. There was a grim expression on his face.
The woman, whom he once thought to be so frail and helpless, was standing in front of him and tossing around fully grown st.u.r.dy men.
The pretty boy standing next to her didn"t even seem to care, and was instead laughing his heart out in a corner? What the h.e.l.l was going on?
With his jaw on the ground, s.h.i.+ Meng slowly continued watching as Su Lin tackled one guy after another.
His eyes widened with every guy mercilessly crushed and thrashed around to the extent of insanity.
s.h.i.+ Meng managed to catch all the details, of every hit and every kick, from the right angles. Not even one thras.h.i.+ng left his vision.
It was as if the entire movie was played just for him from the start to the end.
Time slowed down for him. Those guys were screaming in misery. Su Lin didn"t look like she was going to stop.
She could have instead killed them easily. This torture was way worse!
A few more minutes pa.s.sed and Su Lin finally stopped her brutal a.s.sault. s.h.i.+ Meng couldn"t help but consciously s.h.i.+ver in fear.
Was this even the same woman he was once married to?
Gulp.
He recollected the days and months his mother had degraded her and verbally abused her. s.h.i.+ Meng"s expression turned extremely grim.
If this woman had wanted, she could instantly kill both his mom and him in a matter of milliseconds.
As if this was not enough, his panicking mind suddenly froze.
Su Lin who had by now dragged all the st.u.r.dy men into a heap suddenly looked up and met his eyes.
"d.a.m.n it! She knows I am here!!" s.h.i.+ Meng cursed his bad luck. He should have never followed her here!!
They say when one was close to the death"s door, their entire life flashes past them. But only vivid gruesome images flashed across s.h.i.+ Meng"s mind.
He hoped and prayed that it was just a coincidence. She only looked in his direction by pure coincidence!! That was it!!
But alas...
Su Lin"s cherry red lips slowly curved upwards into a sarcastic sneer, as she mockingly looked at the man in the car from a distance.
s.h.i.+ Meng immediately leaned back and ducked under to hide his masculine figure.
After waiting for a few minutes which seemed like hours, his heart finally couldn"t take it. It was literally pounding out of his chest.
He has never faced a peril like this in his entire life!
As his heartbeats thrummed loudly in his ears, his profusely sweating forehead slightly popped out to gauge the situation.
She didn"t notice me right?
Phew... He heaved a deep breath of relief. The coast was clear. That insane woman had not seen him after all.
s.h.i.+ Meng took a few more deep breaths as he closed his eyes and calmed himself. He was finally out of the danger.
His s.h.i.+vering hands inserted the car keys and weakly started the Mercedes. In the future, he needed to distance himself from that demon.
Before driving away, s.h.i.+ Meng looked to the right and then to the .....
Bang. Su Lin was f.u.c.king right next to him!!!! Her gentle smiling face was right outside the car window!!!
