Chapter 165 Exposed

A Miao jumped out of bed and changed clothes as quickly as possible.

“Where are you going?” As soon as Shen Xinglan pushed the door open and came in, he saw the little woman was ready to go out.

“Huh?” A Miao put down her sneakers. “I… I’ll go out and take a look…”

Shen Xinglan did not think much about it as he stretched out his hand and pushed her back. “Stay in the room and don’t run around. Don’t make me worry.”

“No… I don’t think that’s for me, is it?” A Miao’s eyes rolled. “Maybe it’s a thief or something.”

“There has never been a thief in this villa,” Shen Xinglan looked at her curiously, “but there have been several kidnappings.”

People who lived in such places were all multimillionaires. Their security systems were comparable to that of a bank. It was hard to think of anyone who wanted to rob them.

“Don’t come out, OK?” Shen Xinglan could not help touching her head. Then, he heard Shen I knocking on the door outside and call him, exhorting him to come out.

A Miao hurriedly spun in place. She knew that it was definitely a thief coming to grab the jade pendant, but Shen Xinglan and the others were all guarding her. So, just in case… Thinking of this, she opened the door with clenched teeth.

“Miss?” Shen I and Shen II looked at her in surprise.

Shen Xinglan tried to pull her back into the room, but was pushed away by A Miao. “Go to the safe and take a look. Someone wants to steal your bronze mirror jade pendant.”

“…”

The three people did not move.

“Really!” A Miao said urgently. “Someone found a thief through the underground network and released the task of stealing the bronze mirror jade pendant. I didn’t expect someone to take it so soon, otherwise, I would have told you during the day.”

Shen Xinglan opened his mouth, thinking of her words during the day. “Is this what you said you should consider for one night?”

“Oh, I’ll explain it to you later. Now go and watch the safe!”

“Shen I, you stay.” Shen Xinglan’s eyes were dark, and when he turned to leave, he gave another explanation.

In the room, Shen I stared at her with a face of inquiry.

“Miss…”

“Don’t ask me how I know.” A Miao raised her hand to interrupt him. “I’ll explain it to your Boss later.”

“Lest I have to say it again later.”

“Alright!” Shen I nodded and A Miao gave him a quick look. “Why don’t we go and take a look?” She was really not at ease.

Shen I gave a strong wave of his hand. “No, Boss said he wouldn’t let you out.”

A Miao was about to say that it wasn’t her who was in danger when she heard a noise outside the window. As soon as Shen I heard it, he immediately turned back and saw a white light before his eyes. The next second, his eyes spin around as he fell to the ground paralyzed.

“Shen Xinglan…” With only enough time to shout, A Miao was also stung by the white light and passed out.

When she woke up, there was a familiar voice in her ear.

“Awake?” Lil Xi squatted down. “I went through a lot of trouble to catch you.”

Aware that he was too close, A Miao instinctively backed away and leaned against the wall. She slowly raised her head and found many strange instruments of torture around her, glowing coldly in the dim light.

“Do you know where you are?” Lil Xi casually took a mace from the wall and waved it.

Of course, she knew that it was the underground prison built by Shen Xinglan. She had been there once before.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hit you.” Lil Xi clicked his tongue. “I heard that you have claustrophobia.”

A Miao took a deep breath. “What do you really intend to do?”

“What do you intend to do?” Lil Xi took out his cell phone. “Unexpectedly, you can come up with this idiotic method, trying to trick me by saying Shanshan is a fake. I wonder if Shen is out of his mind or if you had them send me these messages.”

“They didn’t lie to you.” A Miao stood up slowly against the wall. The damp and dark stone wall made her shiver.

Lil Xi said, “An idiot would believe that.”

“If you go out now and ask Shen Xinglan, you will naturally know whether it is true or not.” A Miao urged him, “Everyone knows that she was sent by someone else to get close to Shen Xinglan. In order to catch the mastermind behind this, Shen Xinglan did not expose her.”

“Shut up!” Lil Xi titled his eye. “Why are you saying this? You want me to let you go? Hahaha. If I go to Shen now, the first thing he’ll want me to do is letting you go. I’m not stupid.”

A Miao felt that this stupid teenager was increasingly unable to communicate and wished to give him two slaps. “Then you intend to lock me up here?”

“For the time being!” Lil Xi looked relaxed. “When Shen finds out that you are gone, they will look everywhere, but no one will think that I would hide you under the villa.”

The so-called most dangerous place was actually the safest place. Lil Xi looked at A Miao proudly. “I’ll take you away after they relax in a few days!”

He walked slowly to the wall lamp and gave her a strange smile. “But until then, you have to stay alone in this dark stone house.” He crushed the bulbs one by one along the wall.

“I am a generous person so I will leave you some food and water.” He kicked the bag at his feet and walked over to the last lamp. “Of course, I will leave you a lamp.”

A Miao watched as the light gradually darkened around her, but there was nothing she could do. She did not try to persuade Lil Xi anymore. She knew that this guy would not believe anything she said.

“Well, I hope you will be alive when I come back in a few days!”

The rusty iron gate made a rattling sound. As it slammed shut, A Miao’s heart sank into fear.

At the same time, Shen Xinglan was sitting in the hall with a cold look and Le Yi was making a phone call nearby.

“Boss, it’s all my fault. When I find the young lady, I will return to the island to be punished.” Shen I had turned blue and Shen II was bandaging his head.

Le Yi hung up the phone and looked at the wound on the back of his head. “Alright, everyone would do what you did.”

“Everyone has gone out to look for her. Do you want to transfer another team from the island?” Shen II asked in a probing way.

“Where is Shen III?” Shen Xinglan suddenly said.

“He won’t be here until dawn.” Shen I looked at his watch. “There are still two hours left.”

Le Yi asked, “What do you want?”

The rage of Shen Xinglan almost materialized, and his eyes were anxious to see everything that could be seen.

“Lil Xi knows what we are doing and we have little hope of finding A Miao.” He pulled up the corners of his mouth and laughed. “In that case, let him come to the door.”

Shen Xinglan smiled like a specter, which made the three people present quiver.

Le Yi sighed, at this time, even his brotherly love was useless.

The dragon has inverse scales, touch it and die!

“Brother Xinglan!” Shanshan rushed over as soon as she entered the villa. “What are you doing making me come back in such a hurry? It’s difficult to fly!”

She was holding her stomach like a brat at Shen Xinglan, but suddenly she found that the other party looked wrong.

“Do you know how much I regret not killing you?” Shen Xinglan stared at her like a knife.

Shanshan backed up two steps. “Br-brother Xinglan, what’s the matter with you? I ah…”

The rest of the words were stuck in her throat because a pair of hands had grabbed her neck.

“Don’t let me hear my name in your mouth again.” Shen Xinglan slowly tightened his fingers. “Passing yourself off as Shanshan and coming to my side… What do you think you are doing?”

Shanshan’s face was red and her limbs were convulsing. She struggled to grab Shen Xinglan’s hand and let out a groan of being broken.

“Shen.” Le Yi looked at Shanshan. “If you don’t let her go, she will die.”

Shen Xinglan closed his eyes and raised his hand to throw Shanshan to the ground.

“Cough… Cough…” Shanshan had a face full of tears as she stretched out her neck, panting hard.

“Shen II.”

“Boss.”

Shen Xinglan looked at the woman on the ground who was crawling toward him. Her eyes looked like that of a dead man. “Take her down, don’t kill her.”

“You…” Shanshan’s eyes shot a glare with her big eyes. “Brother Xinglan…”

The woman flew through the air, smashed into the wall, and fell to the ground with a crash.

“I said don’t let me hear you call my name again.” As Shen Xinglan slowly walked past her, Shanshan clutched at her belly with bouts of pain from her lower abdomen, and she looked up trembling.

“When did you… did you find out?”

Seeing Shen Xinglan looking at her coldly, Shanshan understood everything. She panted heavily and laughed. “Right, and what if I am a fake… Are you going to kill your own child?”

“Take her down.” Shen Xinglan turned around.

Shanshan was dragged down by Shen I and Shen II. She cried out, unwilling to give up, “Shen Xinglan, don’t you really care about my belly? It’s your flesh and blood inside!” There was a trail of blood on the ground, which must have hurt the fetal just now.

Shen Xinglan did not look back, but simply dropped a light sentence.

“That’s your child. What does it have to do with me?”

Having been dragged to the door, Shanshan’s pale face suddenly changed. Unfortunately, the door closed before she could ask any more questions.

“Do you want to use her to blackmail Lil Xi?” Le Yi frowned. “Are you sure Lil Xi has received the news?”

Shen Xinglan looked into the air. “Everyone knows, so he will naturally know.”

“This morning, the fiancee of the president of the Shen Group was taken to the hospital. It is reported that she was beaten and injured in many places, and the fetus in her womb must also be in danger. Judging from the photos taken by reporters, the situation is very bad.”

In the morning news, a woman was carried to the hospital with her facial features distorted and her arms exposed all covered with scars.

“As for the reason, we are not sure yet. Initial suspicion is that she was kidnapped or it was an act of revenge.”

The audience in front of the TV set was in an uproar. This type of cruel method toward a pregnant woman quickly aroused public indignation. Many people called the TV station or went to the police station to demand severe punishment for the would-be murderers.

The Internet had also begun to try to find some clues. However, the Shen Group did not make any movement, which caused most netizens to quickly target Shen Xinglan, accusing him of being an irresponsible man.

“You can even think of this way…” Le Yi’s eyes withdrew from in front of the TV.

There were several telephones beside Shen Xinglan, waiting for the teams that had been sent out to report the situation to him at any time. Although the hope was slim, he was still holding onto some luck. What if someone could find a trace of A Miao?

“At least now we can rest assured that Lil Xi will never dare to make a move on A Miao.”

He should know that Shen Xinglan was warning him that if he killed A Miao, Shanshan would not survive.
