Chapter 34: South City Villa (12)

This unknown underling puffed out his chest, putting on a tough act, probably to suck up to Li Wen. He waved his fists around.

Before the man could even react, Jiang Shi Yue grabbed his arm. Like tossing a cloth doll, she effortlessly flung him into the air. Then he crashed down hard. The underling screamed, and for a long time he couldn’t even straighten up. He could only lie on the ground, wailing again and again.

Seeing that, the other underlings instinctively took a step back. Then they glanced at each other, shouted, and some even pulled knives as they surged forward viciously. But Jiang Shi Yue clenched her fingers. She moved so fast that no one could even see it clearly. In the blink of an eye, all eight of them were already sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain.

No one tried to rush her again, even if they could barely stand and take a couple steps. They knew they had run into a tough one – meaning an expert.

An expert who could fight eight people alone, as calmly as taking a stroll.

Even though that expert was a young girl.

These thugs were the best at reading the room and knowing who they could afford to offend. Besides, they weren’t professionals at this. So they chickened out…

Jiang Zi Chen and the others lived under Jiang Shi Yue’s rule of fear, but watching her beat up someone else, especially their mortal enemy, felt completely different.

And Sister Shi Yue was on their side (?)

That was double the happiness!

By the time Li Wen came to his senses, Jiang Shi Yue was already beside him, and she was even holding his DV.

She lowered her head and casually flipped through it. In the video, Han Xi Ping’s screaming was recorded crystal clear, so clear it was hard to watch. She praised, “Li Wen, your equipment is nice.”

“Oh, thanks,” Li Wen replied on instinct. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized this was really not the time to be thanking anyone.

He immediately stared at Jiang Shi Yue with caution, but his shaking legs gave away his fear.

“How about we work together?” Jiang Shi Yue lowered her voice so only Li Wen could hear. Her soft tone carried a hint of something meaningful.

“Work together on what?” Li Wen felt creeped out. He cleared his throat, and if you listened closely, his voice even trembled.

Jiang Shi Yue’s face wasn’t very clear in the night, but you could see the slight curve of her lips, calm and unhurried.

She said slowly, “Since everyone says this place is haunted, then let’s just film a video about South City Villa being haunted.”

Li Wen fell silent. All his underlings were lying on the ground. As a lone commander with no troops, he probably didn’t have the right to refuse. “But… where are the ghosts?” he swallowed and asked shakily.

Jiang Shi Yue just smiled and said nothing. Instead, she looked at Chen Ze.

Right now, Chen Ze only felt regret. Deep, deep regret.

He shouldn’t have come.

“By the way, Li Wen, don’t forget to edit in the footage of Han Xi Ping and the others from earlier too. Such real reactions – you can’t waste them.” Seeing Han Xi Ping’s stunned face, Jiang Shi Yue smiled and comforted him. “Don’t worry. We’ll blur your faces when the time comes.”

Chen Ze, the one who had been playing the ghost: [I feel like things are a little more balanced now.]

The night wind was very still. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and thin clouds spread through the night, then slowly faded into the cold darkness, until the sun finally rose.
