Chapter 9-Let’s Make A Deal
In an instant, the room fell silent. Shen Xinglan looked at her fiercely, “Say it again.”
A Miao suddenly realized that she was a hostage at this moment, so she huddled. She felt that the man in front of her was exuding an aura that he was going to eat her, so she took a few steps back and hid behind those who caught her.
“Cough-cough, lady…” Shen I asked nosily, “Did our Boss use your Dur*x?”
As soon as his voice fell, he felt that his boss’s sinister gaze swept over. Everyone quietly retreated, leaving only Shen I, who was digging his own gave, and A Miao, who was unclear about the situation.
“Shen II, call Shen III to come back.” Shen Xinglan smirked and said, “Shen I will replace his position.”
A bunch of people dragged the struggling Shen I to leave, and A Miao would like to go with them very much.
“Did I allow you to go?” The door in front of her closed. A Miao thought for a minute, and then turned around and said with a smile, “Would you like to invite me to dinner?”
Shen Xinglan stretched his hand to her. While cursing him in her heart as a psycho, A Miao stepped over, putting her hand into his.
“Leave me alone.” The man cruelly threw away her hand and wiped his hand with a handkerchief. “Don’t you want your hands?”
A Miao glared at him, “You shouldn’t be insatiable! Last time you didn’t get me, now you dare to kidnap me during the daytime. You are really worse than a monster.”
“Oh!” Shen Xinglan lifted the corner of his mouth. He was laughing, but his smile made A Miao shiver.
The man looked at her contemptuously, “I have not been that sexually hungry to touch you. I’m not interested in you even if you are naked.” He once again reached out his hand, “My patience is limited. Hurry to return my stuff.”
“What… what…?” A Miao hid behind the sofa. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Crap, how did I forget this!” She touched the jade pendant hidden in the autumn clothes.
Shen Xinglan looked at her as if she was a dead fish, “Do I need to call someone to search you?”
“No!” A Miao jumped up and held a sleek white jade pendant. “Is this important to you?”
“It’s none of your business.” Shen Xinglan frowned.
A Miao laughed, “This… Mr. Boss, let’s make a deal!”
“Oh? I am listening.” Shen Xinglan sat on the sofa and looked at the woman who had no idea of death or danger.
“I can return the jade pendant to you, but you have to pay for my loss of Dur*x. Also, are you rich? Can you send me away from City S?” A Miao said, holding an ashtray in her hand from nowhere and gently hit the jade pendant.
Shen Xinglan’s gaze focused on her and he slowly smiled.
“Do you know where the last person who threatened me is?” His voice sounded cold, and now he intentionally lowered his tone, which sounded scary.
A Miao trembled again and shook her head, “I don’t know.”
Seeing Shen Xinglan pointing to the ground, A Miao blinked her eyes and said, “Downstairs?”
“Are you an idiot?” Shen Xinglan twitched his mouth and said, “In hell.”
“Ah… oh.” A Miao calmly said, “You are a murderer. Then it’s better.” She stepped back a little. “If you don’t agree, I will tell people what you just said.”
Shen Xinglan’s patience was running out. He walked over to the desk and threw a few sheets of paper onto A Miao.
A Miao carefully picked it up, read two lines, and her face changed.
“In September of 2011, you stole an electric blanket in the supermarket. In December of the same year, you stole… toilet paper in the same supermarket.”
“Wait a minute!” A Miao shouted. “I admit that I stole an electric blanket, but I didn’t steal the toilet paper.” That winter was particularly cold, and they didn’t have coal. Zhou Xiao’s mother had the leg problem again. That was why she had to steal things.
Shen Xinglan’s face turned black, “They are all paper anyway.”
“Nonsense, that’s the sanitary towel.” A Miao corrected him. “I didn’t have pants to change and I have no money in my hand, otherwise…”
“Shut up, no one wants you to explain.”
The man went on reading, “In June of 2012, you stole a piece of ribs at the alley, and two apples at the next-door fruit shop the next day. The apples were imported.”
Zhou Xiao hospitalized because of appendicitis at that time and she wanted to bring her something good… Moreover, the bosses of those shops were profiteers who often gave short weight.
“In February of 2013, you…”
A Miao shouted, “Stop! Stop!” She felt downcast, looking at Shen Xinglan. “What do you want?”
“Sit down.” Shen Xinglan pointed to the opposite side.
A Miao’s ass just touched the sofa when she heard the voice that made her nightmare begin.
“From who you learned your skill?” Shen Xinglan stared at her as if she would be killed the next second as long as she lied.
A Miao snorted, “I don’t know.”
“Nothing to say?”
“I really don’t know!” A Miao sighed. “I can move faster and react faster than others since I could remember things.”
Shen Xinglan snorted, “You are weirdly fast.” This woman was absolutely top-notch, even if an internationally infamous thief could not steal things from him without being discovered.
“Then what?” A Miao acted like a dead pig who was no longer afraid of hot water, “If you can find out, figure it out. I also want to know what happened to me.”
Being quiet for a moment, A Miao thought that the guy should have given up when she saw Shen Xinglan revealing a strange smile.
“Let’s make a deal.”
