They stepped closer to Shen Qianqian and Zhang Li.
Shen Qianqian was looking down at her phone, oblivious to their approach.
Zhang Li’s heart pounded in fear.
It was clear these men were here for them. The car they arrived in was worth millions—whoever was behind them had to be powerful.
She hadn’t offended anyone influential, so they probably weren’t after her.
Zhang Li glanced at Shen Qianqian.
Could they have been sent by that woman to deal with Shen Qianqian?
No.
She couldn’t let herself get dragged into Shen Qianqian’s mess!
It was too late to run now. Zhang Li’s eyes darted around before she raised a hand to her forehead.
“I—I don’t feel well. My head is spinning.”
“Qianqian, I can’t take it anymore.”
She swayed slightly, then collapsed limply to the ground.
“Zhang Li? What’s wrong with you?” Shen Qianqian stared at her, baffled.
Zhang Li lay motionless.
“Useless. Passing out after a little drinking,” Shen Qianqian sneered, giving her a disdainful nudge with the tip of her high heel.
She still hadn’t sensed the danger.
Looking down at Zhang Li, she curled her lip. “If you’re this weak, just stay here. Maybe someone will pick you up for a good time.”
Shen Qianqian turned to leave.
The two black-suited bodyguards frowned at Zhang Li’s prone form but ignored her.
They moved to block Shen Qianqian’s path.
She scowled. “What are you doing? Get out of my way!”
“Out of your way?” One of the bodyguards smirked coldly. “Come with us, miss.”
Finally realizing the threat, Shen Qianqian bolted.
“Hel—!”
The cry was cut short as a bodyguard clamped a hand over her mouth.
“Mmph—!” She thrashed wildly, but her petite frame was no match for the towering men.
They dragged her into the car.
The driver hit the gas.
Zhang Li cracked one eye open, watching the car speed away before scrambling to her feet. She sprinted home like her life depended on it.
Gulping down a glass of water, she exhaled in relief.
Thank goodness she’d been quick-witted. Otherwise, she’d have been taken too.
No way.
She’d have to stay away from Shen Qianqian for a while.
Only after a few months—once she was sure Shen Qianqian was safe—would she go back to cozying up to her.
Inside the car:
“Mmph—!” Shen Qianqian still fought like a cornered animal.
“Stay still!” A bodyguard barked.
She sank her teeth into his hand.
With a grunt of pain, he yanked his hand back, freeing her mouth.
“You can’t do this to me!” Panic flooded her voice. “Do you even know who I am? I’m the daughter of Shen Corporation’s chairman! If you lay a finger on me, my father will have you torn to pieces!”
Her jaw clenched.
How dare these lowlifes kidnap her?
“The Shen Corporation’s precious daughter, huh?” The bodyguard scoffed.
“That’s right! Scared now?” Shen Qianqian lifted her chin. “Here’s what you’ll do—let me go, then get on your knees and beg. Maybe I’ll let this slide.”
The bodyguard’s smile turned icy. “Too bad. We’re here because you’re Shen Corporation’s daughter.”
Without another word, he stuffed a cloth into her mouth.
“Mmph—!”
Now, real terror set in.
They knew who she was—and didn’t care. This was personal.
Were they using her to extort her father?
Or—her stomach twisted—did they want her?
If they touched her… if Lin Xuan found out…
He’d think she was tainted. Ruined.
She’d never have a chance with him.
Bound tightly, Shen Qianqian couldn’t fight back.
The car sped into the remote outskirts, stopping at an abandoned factory.
Dumped onto the floor, she gasped as the gag was ripped away, the ropes loosened.
“P-please!” She dropped to her knees. “I—I’ll give you money! Just let me call my father—he’ll pay anything!”
“We don’t want your damn money,” the bodyguard spat.
“You’ve got some nerve, trying to steal someone else’s man. Disgusting.”
Their mistress had finally won Young Master Lin’s heart.
For a year, she’d been happier, showering them with rewards.
They weren’t about to let some spoiled brat ruin it.
Before, they’d held back—but now, with Young Master Lin’s orders? They’d make her regret it.
“You—you’re Su Hua’s people?!” Shen Qianqian’s eyes widened.
Of course.
That fox was afraid she’d take Lin Xuan away!
Slap! A backhand sent her sprawling. “Watch your mouth.”
The reaction only confirmed her suspicions.
“You’re protecting her—she sent you!”
Slap!
Another stinging blow silenced her. Tears welled as she clutched her cheek.
Her hatred for Su Hua burned brighter.
She’d pay for this.
“L-listen,” Shen Qianqian pleaded. “H-how much did that wom—Su Hua—pay you? I’ll double it! No—ten times!”
They’d refused earlier, but everyone had a price.
“Told you. We don’t want your money,” the bodyguard said flatly.
Defying their mistress and Young Master Lin? That was suicide.
Money or their lives? The choice was obvious.
“Shen Qianqian, if you’re bold enough to chase another woman’s man, you’d better brace for the consequences.”
The bodyguards advanced.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
yet utterly incapable of cultivation. In the end, his master cast him out. Roaming the mortal world with his companion, the qilin Da Huang, he eventually returned to the Chen family. There, he obtained the Innatal Womb Pearl and finally unlocked the path to cultivation. Little did Chen Chang'an expect—his true talent for cultivation had been hidden within his mother's womb all along?
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
