Chapter 40
Every Debt Has Its Owner
Filled with hostility, Shan Yue returned to her room and slammed the door, shutting out the messy family. She put on her earplugs alone and went back to sleep.
Outside the house, Sun Ling saw that Shan Yue had slammed the door and started making a fuss again. “Shan An, you useless thing, I want to divorce you—”
After Shan Yue taught them a lesson, the mother and daughter became much more obedient. When they bumped into Shan Yue at home, they quickly avoided her as if they had seen a ghost.
However, the two of them often secretly sized up Shan Yue, as if they were plotting something. Shan Yue did not take them seriously at all and simply ignored them.
It was night.
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the Zhou Corporation in the Federation’s Central City.
“President Zhou, there’s news! The assassins who once kidnapped Little Young Master were last seen in S City!”
S City? Zhou Xuan revealed a thoughtful expression. During this period of time, he had been sending people to hunt down the killers who had stabbed Zhou Yang back then. However, at every critical moment of the arrest, a few of them would always escape, as if they had gotten the news.
“President Zhou, could their headquarters be in S City?” The secretary could not help but ask.
“Not necessarily. They might also be going for the people who saved Zhou Yang.” Zhou Xuan’s eyes darkened. If these killers were going for Shan Yue, she would be in trouble!
At the thought of this, Zhou Xuan made a prompt decision. “Send a helicopter and two bodyguards to Shan Yue’s side as soon as possible to protect her!”
“Yes!”
Shan Yue was busy in her room when she suddenly noticed a slight movement. She remained silent and pretended that nothing had happened. She closed her computer and left the house.
After leaving the house, Shan Yue waited in the yard for a while longer, as if admiring the moon overhead. Then, after a few more warm-ups, she started jogging out of the suburbs as usual.
When she finally reached a small forest with few people and no surveillance cameras, Shan Yue stretched her body and listened to the soft rustling around her. She completely lost her patience and said in a low voice, “How long are you going to hide? Come out!”
She had long discovered that a group of people had been hiding in the dark and lying in ambush for her, so she specially ran out to give the other party a chance to attack. Who knew that this group of people were as timid as rats and had been hesitating to attack, wasting her time?
Sure enough, after she spoke, seven or eight men with weapons walked out from the shadows behind her. They were the group of people who had disguised themselves as plainclothes policemen to chase after Zhou Yang a few days ago. However, all of them had bloodshot eyes and stubble on their faces. They clearly looked exhausted and desperate.
Shan Yue did not expect that this group of extremely stupid killers would actually come to her. She sneered and said, “Are you crazy? Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Why are you looking for me instead of Zhou?”
When the assassins saw that Shan Yue was not flustered at all despite being surrounded, they became even more wary.
The leader’s voice was hoarse as he stared at Shan Yue. “That day, you helped Zhou Yang escape death, but we were chased by the Zhou family for several days and nights. Several of our brothers died. We had no choice but to capture you to exchange for our lives with the Zhou family.”
She had nothing to do with the Zhou family. How could these people use her life to ask the Zhou family for a way out? They would probably be wiped out by the Zhou family together!
Shan Yue was so angry that she almost laughed. She kindly reminded them, “I have nothing to do with the Zhou family. It’s useless for you to arrest me.”
“Impossible! If it had nothing to do with you, why did you take such a risk to save Zhou Yang back then?” The man in the lead denied it. The way he looked at Shan Yue became more and more dangerous. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I’ll capture you and ask the Zhou family personally!”
“Would you believe me if I said I did it for money?” Shan Yue’s lips curled into a casual smile.
An ordinary high school girl, no matter how smart she was, was no match for a group of people. Could it be that a group of killers could not deal with a little girl?
Seeing that the killers surrounding them were slowly approaching, Shan Yue flexed her wrist and was about to attack when the leader suddenly took out a pistol and aimed the black muzzle at Shan Yue’s head. “If you move again, your head will explode!”
