Chapter 140: Another Trouble

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Xiong never considered himself weak, but he was genuinely shocked to see that Shen Qingyue’s combat strength had increased again after a year. He stared at the several people groaning on the ground, forcing himself to regain composure. “Shen Qingyue, don’t think I’m afraid of you. A woman like you, I could defeat with a single finger…”

Bang!

Lu Xiong had never witnessed such a situation before. Immediately, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground. “Don’t come any closer! These are all people, if you kill me, you won’t be able to escape…”

Shen Qingyue had a sly smile on her face. “You wanted to play with me, didn’t you? Why are you scared now? Get up, if you want to play, let’s play properly.”

When Shen Qingyue approached him with the sharp bottleneck in hand, Lu Xiong completely lost his composure. “I was wrong, don’t be impulsive! This thing can stab people and make them bleed… Are you here to save this girl? Take her away! It’s yours!”

“So cooperative all of a sudden? You’re wasting time.” Shen Qingyue threw the bottle she was holding onto the ground. Glass shards splattered onto Lu Xiong’s face, leaving thin cuts, and blood trickled down his cheek.

Shen Qingyue reached out to help the young girl who was quietly sobbing on the couch. “Let’s go.”

The girl looked up at her, wiped her tears hastily, and said, “Thank you…”

Outside, Shen Qingyue stopped in her tracks. “Are you okay?”

The girl shook her head and thanked her again, “Thank you…”

“You’re welcome,” Shen Qingyue reminded her, “But Lu Xiong holds grudges. Although I can take you away today, if he ever encounters you again, who knows what he might do. It’s best to find another job and stay away from people like him.”

The girl nodded, determination written on her young face. “I understand. You helped me today, and if I ever have a chance, I’ll do anything to repay you.” Even though this job had a high salary, she knew she couldn’t cling to it. Not every time would someone come to her rescue…

“No need. Just live your life well,” Shen Qingyue escorted her to the taxi before returning to her own car.

The girl, dragging her weary body, returned home, arriving at an old-fashioned residential complex. As she was about to walk inside, a middle-aged woman emerged from the corner.

“Are you Yan Xi?”

Yan Xi, hearing this, turned her head and looked at the middle-aged woman, feeling somewhat puzzled. “Yes, I am. Who are you?”

“I’m Xu Fengzhi, your distant aunt…” Xu Fengzhi’s face bore a smile, but that smile carried a hint of calculation.

Shen Qingyue returned home, took a shower, and dried her hair before heading to the living room. There was an unread message from a private investigator.

[Miss Shen, it seems that people under Shen Da’s command have been searching for someone recently. I’m not sure who it is, but the information is tightly sealed, and we can’t find anything concrete. All we know is that they are actively looking for someone.]

Shen Qingyue replied: [Keep watching closely, and notify me if there are any developments.]

Putting down her phone, Shen Qingyue’s thoughts began to churn. Shen Da was carrying a heavy burden of guilt right now, so the top priority should be finding a way to reduce his sentence. Why would he still be looking for someone? Could this person be of some help to him? But at this time, who could help him?

Shen Qingyue couldn’t find any answers and decided to lie down in bed after finishing her chores.

The next day, she got up, freshened up, and the first thing she did was call Chen Ying. Chen Ying had been taken away by Chen Song last night, and she had no idea how things were going now.

The phone rang for a while before someone picked up. The person on the other end seemed to have just woken up, and their voice was still groggy. “Who is it?” Shen Qingyue replied casually, “Where are you?”

“Huh?” Chen Ying was a bit disoriented but finally recognized the voice. “Aren’t I at your place…”

As soon as she said that, she seemed to suddenly realize something and swiftly sprang up from the bed. How had she ended up back in her own room? She did not want to see Chen Song right now!

Chen Ying hurriedly got out of bed, not bothering to put on her shoes, and rushed towards the door. However, she was still groggy from just waking up, and as she took a couple of steps, she slipped and fell. She nearly knocked out a front tooth and her nose started bleeding profusely, a testament to the force of the fall.

Before she could get back on her feet, the room’s door was pushed open.

Chen Ying covered her nose and slowly raised her head. The first thing she saw was a pair of bony ankles, and following them upward, she saw Chen Song’s plain but handsome face. Her nosebleed continued unabated, perfectly timed for the occasion….
