The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

1082 Perplexed and Smitten 142

Upon hearing her words, Fang Erlan immediately said, “I’m staying in room 1236.”

Realizing that he had gotten the wrong person, the man immediately said, “I’ll go and nab that woman in room 1238 right now. Shall we release this woman?”

Fang Erlan gazed at the woman earnestly, hoping that she would agree to release her.

To her astonishment, the woman scoffed and said, “What for? These little guys have been hungry for a while. They must be famished. Feed her to them.”

Fang Erlan immediately collapsed and glowered at the woman angrily while her hands trembled uncontrollably. However, she kept her cool and exclaimed, “Do... you know who I am? If you dare do that to me, my boss is not going to let you off!”

“Your boss? Who?”

“An Xiaoning.”

The woman squinted and asked, “An Xiaoning?”

“That’s right, her!”

“She doesn’t even know that I’m the one who abducted you. Who would find out by the time these little guys devour you and chew you down to your bones?”

“You’re such a fool. How did you even become a leader? I suggest you send me back immediately and put an end to this. Think about the consequences you’d have to face before you lay a finger on me. Don’t blame me for failing to remind you. You’ll suffer a greater loss by the time you get yourself in trouble.”

Noticing how fearless Fang Erlan seemed, as if she was not at all afraid of being fed to the wolves, the woman humphed and sneered, “This is not S Nation, what can she do to me? She’s not invincible.” She then ordered her henchmen, “Kill this woman immediately!”

Seeing that her threats seemed to have no effect, Fang Erlan’s heart almost jumped out of her chest as her stomach twisted into a knot. She glued herself onto the ground and refused to move.

Just as the man was about to open the cage, she grabbed him and said, “Even if you don’t release me on account of my boss, you should do so on your own account.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m Pei Yi’s old flame. If you refuse to believe me, you may try calling him to ask him about it,” Fang Erlan said recklessly upon recalling what she had heard at the dining table. She was merely hoping for a miracle and trying to stall for time.

The woman was shocked out of her senses. Seeing how confident Fang Erlan seemed to be, she said to her henchman, “Watch her while I go upstairs to make a call.”

“Yes.”

Fang Erlan loosened her grip on the man. However, she was engulfed with even more fear and panic.

She had broken out in a cold sweat due to immense fear and anxiety. The terror had robbed her of her speech, and she could not make a single sound.

The man shot her a glance and said, “If you dare lie to us...”

There was no way to put her emotions into words.

In reality, she was indeed lying to them.

She felt extremely regretful for not keeping a dagger with her at all times. Had she done so, she would definitely have had the chance to escape.

Yet...

I’m only 24 years old this year. Am I really going to just die in this foreign land?

Why am I so unlucky?

The thought of becoming a feast for the wolves sent tears rolling down Fang Erlan’s face as her hands trembled incessantly.

She recalled her short and fleeting life. She had been raised by her grandmother ever since she was a child, and her parents had shown little to no concern or love for her at all. At some point, she even felt like she was an orphan.

After going through painstaking effort, she finally reached adulthood and gained financial independence. Yet, her grandmother had already passed away.

She had finally found someone who fancied her as much as she fancied them. And yet, Xiao Chenyang showed up out of the blue and disrupted her life.

Neither of her familial and romantic relationships ever worked out.

Her career was finally picking up...

She had just bought an apartment and moved into a place she could call her own, a place she could call her home.

The mere few minutes felt like a century.

Finally, the woman returned again with a look of menace.

She was dressed in the devil’s color — red.

She made her intimidating entrance and walked down the stairs, sending shivers down Fang Erlan’s spine.

Fang Erlan grabbed onto the metal cage tightly for dear life while the woman approached her step by step. She was glowering at Fang Erlan and appeared as if she was about to devour her the next second.

“How dare you lie to me. Why would my ancestor have an old flame like you? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You’re so ordinary-looking that there are plenty of women on the streets who are just like you!” The woman snorted with laughter and gibed, “I can’t believe I actually trusted your words and called him personally, only to receive a scolding from him. I didn’t actually plan to punish you myself, but it seems I must vent my frustration. So what if you’re not the person I originally wanted to abduct? Blame it on your misfortune to have bumped into me!”

She tried to pull the door of the cage open, but to no avail because of how tightly Fang Erlan was gripping onto it. She put on a sinister smile and glared at Fang Erlan coldly before taking her time to whip out a pistol.

Staring at the black pistol that was aimed at her, Fang Erlan felt herself growing weak instantly, and her hands moved away from the cage involuntarily.

The woman had a menacing and sly gaze.

At this moment, Fang Erlan’s life was worth nothing to her.

Just as she was about to fire a bullet at Fang Erlan, she heard a deafening sound, followed by that of an explosion. The thick walls immediately collapsed all of a sudden, and a figure zoomed toward the cage in no time. The woman did not even manage to catch a glimpse of his face. He strangled her neck forcefully and lifted her into the air.

Everything happened all too suddenly.

Even Fang Erlan did not manage to see how he had made his entrance. The next thing she knew, the woman was now in his hands.

She sat on the ground, overwhelmed by astonishment. She watched the man, who was dressed in an all-black ensemble and seething with exasperation, snapping the woman’s neck without even allowing her to speak.

The woman’s shriek ceased as soon as she let it out.

Fang Erlan was terrorized and had turned as pale as a sheet. She immediately buried her face in her knees, not daring to look up at all.

Xiao Chenyang flung the woman aside and took a few glances at the wolves in front of him. He whipped out a weapon and flicked it against the wolves, causing them to howl in pain and roll around on the ground. He finally shifted his gaze onto the man who had peed in his pants out of fear.

The man watched Xiao Chenyang approach him and retreated in utmost fear. He pleaded incessantly, “Please don’t kill me, please... please...”

Xiao Chenyang ignored him and continued advancing forward, until the man had nowhere to die.

The man could only see his shoes. Seeing that Xiao Chenyang had stopped in his tracks, he mustered up the courage to raise his head.

As soon as he did, he felt an excruciating pain in his neck. In less than twenty seconds, he collapsed onto the ground and spasmed a few times before he stopped breathing.

Blood was trickling down the glistening sword. Clearly, Xiao Chenyang had slit the man’s throat with it.

Xiao Chenyang wiped the blood off his sword by brushing it against the man’s body before placing it back inside its sheath.
