Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When she faced Ouyang Le and Pei Li head-on, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that they were not on the same level, and there was no joy in challenging them whether it was Pei Li or Ouyang Le.
Shen Xiaoxiao was not familiar with Ouyang Le, but Shen Xiaoxiao was very familiar with Pei Li. Now that she saw Pei Li in this state, he no longer had the high spirits and independence of his previous life. At this moment, he was like a pug wagging its tail and begging for mercy. He was also like a grasshopper struggling at the end of its life.
There wasn’t a single ripple in Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart. In her previous life, she couldn’t even imagine how miserable her life had been. Now, their situation seemed to have changed one by one. However, Shen Xiaoxiao might not feel that she was happy. How happy… Perhaps it was because the punishment and revenge that Pei Li had received were too light and too lenient. What she had to do was far from enough.
Shen Xiaoxiao knew very well that whether it was with Liu Yufei or Pei Li, it was a hatred that would not rest until one of them died. However, in this life, whether it was because of her or Yan Kuan, it was easier for her to take revenge. However, the obsession in her heart did not diminish at all.
“Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by saying that?” Pei Li’s brows furrowed, and he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a hint of reproach and dissatisfaction.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Li’s pretentious attitude and immediately turned her head to the side. Without even looking at him, she said, “Do you think you’re worthy of calling my name?”
Pei Li’s face was once again stepped under someone’s feet. He clenched his fists tightly. This humiliation had never been so intense before.
She was still so arrogant even now. He wanted to see if she could still be so arrogant even after an hour.
“Miss Shen, what do you mean by that?”
This question was asked by Ouyang Le, who had been silent all this while. Shen Xiaoxiao then turned her gaze to Ouyang Le and said to her with some ridicule, “I thought that you came to M Country because of the matter with Ouyang Yu. I just didn’t expect that you haven’t learned your lesson. Instead, you still want to sit in that position. I’m a little curious. The two of you clearly have the same goal and are both the head of the Ouyang family. How can you work together? I really didn’t expect this.”
“In the future, will the Ouyang family be split into two? Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. In any case, the Ouyang family doesn’t mind making a mess. I think the two of you are quite compatible.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s words made Pei Li’s heart skip a beat. Ouyang Le had wanted the position of the head of the family? She was a woman. Could it be that she wanted to be the Empress? With such big ambitions, this Ouyang Le really made people look at her in a new light?
Although Pei Li was surprised, as a temporary ally, he wasn’t so stupid as to immediately turn against Ouyang Le or say something like Shen Xiaoxiao had said. Instead, he pretended to be calm and didn’t say anything after glancing at Ouyang Le.
On the other hand, Ouyang Le didn’t think that her plan would be exposed by Shen Xiaoxiao. Moreover, Pei Li’s reaction surprised her as well. He wasn’t surprised at all. This Pei Li was indeed more difficult to deal with than she thought.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao knew her plan. She must not let this plan be ruined in one fell swoop. So what if they could not walk out? They only needed to wait for another hour. They did not need to walk out either. Naturally, someone would help them clean up this place.
“This is an internal matter of our Ouyang family. There is no need for Miss Shen to worry about it. However, I am very curious. What does Miss Shen mean by we can’t walk out?”
Ouyang Le directly met Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes, which surprised her. This Ouyang Le was really bold. Even after saying so, she still had a confident look on her face. Did she really think that she would not be prepared for them to come here in such a grand manner?
“You came in first, but someone followed after you. Do you think that this is your family’s territory in China and you can do whatever you want?
“The thing you’re looking for in the villa next door is here. Stop looking, you won’t be able to find it.”
Ouyang Le was shocked. What did Shen Xiaoxiao mean? How did she know that they were looking for something?
“Alright, I won’t play with you anymore. I just want to see what tricks you’re playing. 19, take them away and greet them properly.”
Shen Xiaoxiao stood up and prepared to leave. A few secret guards who were standing at the side walked over and prepared to take Pei Li and Ouyang Le away.
However, at this moment, Pei Li suddenly took out his pistol and aimed it at Shen Xiaoxiao’s head. he shouted, “Don’t move! Bullets don’t have eyes.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the gun in Pei Li’s hand that was aimed at her head. Hmph, what an idiot.
Shen Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. Just as everyone was holding their breaths and waiting to see what she would do next, Shen Xiaoxiao did not retreat. Instead, she reached out and covered the handle of the gun. With a push, the gun in Pei Li’s hand was removed. This move was fast and beautiful, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Even Pei Li did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to have such good skills. At this moment, the secret guards did not say anything more and knocked Pei Li unconscious with a hand knife.
As for Ouyang Le, she was also stunned by Shen Xiaoxiao’s move. She did not expect Shen Xiaoxiao to have such good skills. However, no matter how smart Shen Xiaoxiao was, she still missed a point. Even if they were caught at this moment, they would definitely be fine, she knew this better than anyone else.
Ouyang Le was not the slightest bit afraid. She even revealed a strange smile when she looked at Shen Xiaoxiao. This immediately made Shen Xiaoxiao wary. After she saw that the person was taken away, Shen Xiaoxiao slowly sat back down on the chair.
“Miss, are you alright?” 19 asked worriedly when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao sitting on the chair without saying a word.
“I’m fine. I’m worried that something has happened to your boss. Didn’t he say that he’s on his way back? Contact him immediately. I want to know his exact location at this moment.”.
“Ouyang Le and the rest came here to look for the Obsidian Star with such big fanfare. They definitely won’t use such an obvious strategy. I’m worried that there’s still a backup plan that we don’t know about.”
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness rush from the soles of her feet to her forehead. Her heart suddenly jumped. Without thinking, she picked up the cup on the table and poured it on the hand that had just touched the pistol. However, it seemed to be a little too late. The abnormal redness on her palm was not only seen by Shen Xiaoxiao, but also 19.
Not only that, the red mark on her palm seemed to be moving. It slowly moved from her palm to her wrist. Shen Xiaoxiao stood up from her seat in a huff.
This strange thing, this moving red mark, could it be… Could it be that she was..?
Had she been poisoned?
