She had even arranged for the media. First thing tomorrow morning, they’d be heading to Mudanjiang Courtyard.
Si Fuqing was a celebrity; an incident like this would be enough to utterly ruin her reputation, making it impossible for her to survive in the entertainment industry.
The maid connected a call to the bodyguards stationed at Mudanjiang Courtyard and handed over the phone.
Mrs. Chen opened her eyes and glanced at the phone screen. She immediately sat up, her face a mixture of disbelief and anger. “Who did you people tie up? I told you to kidnap Si Fuqing, not just any random person! Are you joking with
Mrs. Liu, roused by the commotion, asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, just a little mistake by my subordinates,” Madam Chen hurriedly apologized. “Mrs. Liu, I need to step out for a moment.”
Mrs. Liu waved her off dismissively.
As Mrs. Chen walked out, she fumed, “Who exactly did you kidnap?”
She could tell at a glance that the clothes Yu Tang wore were far from cheap.
What if they had kidnapped a young miss from some influential family?
“No, surely not…” Over the phone, the bodyguard’s forehead broke into a cold sweat. “We’ve been following her the whole time; how could we kidnap the wrong person? Madam, you said she would be about eighteen years old, and the age seems to match.”
“You only remembered she’s eighteen?” Madam Chen almost laughed in exasperation. “Go find Si Fuqing for me now! She must have run away!”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The bodyguard hastily acknowledged and quickly relayed the situation to Mr. Liu’s side.
“Mr. Liu!” The special assistant rushed into the first floor of the villa, panic painting his features. “Something went wrong! Mrs. Chen’s people kidnapped the wrong person; this isn’t Si Fuqing!”
“Really?” Mr. Liu frowned. “Then who is the person sent to my room?”
“We don’t know yet,” the special assistant hesitated. “But she might be a student? Or perhaps a daughter of another influential family. I think we should send her back.”
“Send her back?” Mr. Liu sneered as he paced. “Anyone brought to me wants to be sent back? Even if she belongs to some big family, one word from me will settle the matter. What can they do?”
Even the Chen family had to give him due respect; which other family in Lin would dare confront him?
“Keep an eye on her,” Mr. Liu ordered. “I’m going to enjoy myself for a bit. If there’s any news from the Yu family, inform me immediately.” The special assistant acknowledged and left.
Outside, the bodyguards dressed in black were mobilized.
The lead bodyguard grabbed the communicator, his voice tinged with urgency. “How did you people keep tabs? Why? Madam said to find her, and to find her quickly!”
“No need to look for me,” a soft voice resonated, “I’m right here.” The black-clad bodyguards were taken aback.
They turned around and saw a slender figure walking towards them.
Behind her, Mudanjiang Courtyard staff members were in pursuit. “Miss! Miss, you can’t go in there! This is a private area!”
But they couldn’t catch up and could only watch helplessly as the woman entered the villa.
The staff immediately began making phone calls. “Who are you?” the lead bodyguard blocked her path. ‘What do you want?” The other bodyguards were equally on high alert.
“Didn’t you invite me?” Si Fuqing stepped forward, slowly lowering her face mask. “Why hide when you see me?”
As she removed her mask, her face was fully revealed.
Under the light, her features were striking—so frosty they could cut through bone.
Her beauty was breathtaking.
Could a human truly possess such extraordinary looks?
For a moment, the black-clad bodyguards were stunned, unable to react.
Yu Tang was also stunning, but her allure somewhat paled in the face of this soul-stealing beauty.
“Mr. Liu, Si Fuqing has willingly come to us, ” the special assistant managed to regain his senses and pressed his earpiece. “We’ll send her up shortly.” With that, he signaled for the bodyguards to take action.
One of them immediately stepped forward, preparing to subdue the woman.
However, before he could even complete his motion— “Snap!”
His head was suddenly seized by a hand.
The force exerted by that hand was incredibly strong, paralyzing him with a grip that made movement impossible.
Terrified, the black-clad bodyguard had no time to react before he felt a surge of force on his scalp, forcing him to lift his head.
The next second, he found himself looking into a pair of icy, fox-like eyes.
This close-up encounter with such staggering beauty made him even more terrified. “You—”
“I promised my older sister I’d try to avoid using force,” Si Fuqing closed her eyes briefly, her voice soft, and even allowed herself a small smile. “So why are you forcing me?”
“Thud!”
Before the bodyguard had a chance to utter another word, his head was slammed into the ground.
He let out a shrill scream, his ears buzzing as blood oozed from his nose and mouth.
Another “snap,” and his shoulders were pinned down; he couldn’t move an inch.
The other bodyguards were stunned into silence.
The lead bodyguard was the first to snap back to reality. “Stop her!” he barked.
How could an eighteen -tier celebrity from the entertainment circle possess such combat skills?
They had all undergone rigorous bodyguard training; how could they be so easily subdued by a young girl?
Yet the reality proved they had gravely underestimated Si Fuqing’s combat abilities.
In less than a minute, all the black-clad bodyguards were on the ground, their conditions unknown.
“Thud!”
The special assistant’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his face a mask of terror.
Si Fuqing didn’t even glance at him; she walked straight ahead.
Upstairs.
Yu Tang watched Mr. Liu pace back and forth, her face pale.
She was, after all, a young girl, pampered since childhood by the Yu family. Faced with such a situation, she was frightened.
She touched the small sachet Si Fuqing had given her and felt an inexplicable calm wash over her.
She believed in Qingqing; she knew nothing bad would happen to her.
“What is this?” Mr. Liu noticed the sachet.
One hand gripped Yu Tang’s shoulder tightly, while the other snatched the sachet away.
Mr. Liu opened it and found a yellow paper inside.
Ordinary enough, but on it was a red cinnabar character— “Nine.”
“Still superstitious, I see,” Mr. Liu scoffed. “What, do you think this talisman will save your life?”
He chuckled and was about to tear the paper, but in that split second, “whoosh,” the talisman suddenly caught fire. Flames licked up Mr. Liu’s arm, burning off a sleeve in an instant.
Excruciating pain surged through him. Mr. Liu let out a scream and hastily dropped the burning talisman.
Yu Tang’s eyes widened in shock.
What… what kind ofpower was this?
Could the metaphysics actually be real?
At that very moment, Si Fuqing precisely located the talisman’s position.
She suddenly lifted her head, and her eyes were filled with a cold fierceness.
“Miss, you can’t go in!” Outside the villa, the Mudanjiang Courtyard staff had also gathered. “If you break in, we’ll have to call the police!”
Si Fuqing’s expression remained calm: “Move aside..”
