Chapter 758: Confrontation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the car turned into an abandoned factory area, it was already dark and there was no movement.
Shi Man took out the pistol behind her waist and held it tightly in her hand. She walked forward gently.
She relied on her excellent hearing to carefully distinguish every subtle movement in the air. Her eyes were fixed on her surroundings and feet, not letting go of any traces.
At this moment, this empty space was already filled with weeds and there were no traces of the past. Clearly, ever since the explosion, this place had never been passive and allowed such a large piece of land to rot and desolate.
Suddenly, after Shi Man walked through a withered grassland, she suddenly discovered a mark left behind by a heavy object. She quickly walked over and squatted down. She used the flashlight to carefully investigate the mark and immediately identified the car model through the inconspicuous wheel marks.
It was the most common white van.
Shi Man frowned and was about to continue forward when her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
Shi Man hid in a safe corner to answer the call. Yi Long’s anxious voice suddenly came from the receiver. “Manman, the other party called and asked Lu Xiang to go to the location 1 just sent you to get to the hostages. Are you safe?”
“I’m safe.” Shi Man looked at the message she had just received on the screen. When she zoomed in, she could clearly see Shen Xian’s tear-stained face.
At this moment, she was tied to a chair. Her hands and feet were tightly tied with hemp rope and she could not break free. There was also a white cloth stuffed in her mouth. Her long hair, which was always beautifully combed, was wrinkled and messy.
Shi Man’s heart suddenly constricted, and her eyes turned red. “Don’t act rashly. Leave this to me.”
“No, if anything happens to you now, 1 won’t be able to explain it to your father. Listen to me. Drive to a safe place immediately and wait for me to come.” Yi Long urged the chauffeur to speed up as he held his wife’s hand reassuringly.
After their family received Shi Yu’s call, they immediately understood the other party’s intentions and left without even changing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got into the car, they received a photo of Shen Xian being kidnapped.
Lu Xiang was so frightened that she cried.
The terrifying memories of the past appeared in front of her again. If not for Yi Long supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground in fear.
However, this matter had nothing to do with the Shen family. Lu Xiang did not want to implicate Shen Xian. No matter how afraid she was, she still rejected her husband’s suggestion to stay at home. She resolutely chose to get into the car and rush to the event location with them.
After Yi Long finished speaking, the car fell into a long silence.
No one dared to disturb Shi Man.
At this moment, she was in the most dangerous position. If they accidentally exposed Shi Man, Yi Long would probably not be able to appease the Shi family’s anger even if he died.
However, just as Yi Long’s heart tightened, Shi Man’s abnormally cold voice suddenly came from the receiver. “Uncle Yi, listen to me. Don’t bring Auntie Lu over. 1 can handle it.”
With that, Shi Man decisively hung up the phone and turned to walk into the darkness. The next second, she was caught off guard and met a familiar pair of eyes.
Shi Man frowned and quickly loaded the pistol to face the person in front of her.
However, she didn’t expect the person behind her to be faster than her. The moment she flipped her wrist, that person grabbed her arm tightly. In the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and right on the heels of that, a cold liquid was injected into her body.
Shi Man loosened her wrist and the gun was snatched from her hand. Then, she felt cold all over, as if she was in the middle of winter. Her body could not help but tremble. She could only lean against the dusty wall and barely hold on without slipping.
“Indeed, 1 can only use some extraordinary methods to deal with Miss Shi. Otherwise, 1 really wouldn’t dare to fight you.” Lin Si raised her hand to take the pistol and put it in his waist. Then, he slowly walked up to Shi Man and slowly raised her chin. “Boss, when you trained me back then, you didn’t expect to fall into my hands one day, right?”
Shi Man raised her eyes and glared at him, but her peripheral vision was fixed on the person still hiding in the darkness. She felt that that person’s figure was especially familiar.
Sure enough, in the next second, that person walked out of the shadows. His originally scholarly face was filled with hatred and anger.
“Shi Man, did you kill my brother?!”
When he said this, Zhu Wen felt as if his heart had been pierced by a dagger.
He had not interacted much with Shi Man, but he trusted her wholeheartedly and had never dared to link Zhu Meng’s death to her.
However, when Lin Si placed the evidence in front of him, he had no choice but to believe that he had been wrong all along.
Back then, Zhu Meng wanted to use Yi Zheng’s power to annex Jun Mo, but he did not expect have been targeted long ago, which was why he died!
At this point, Shi Man did not want to deny it, but she had never regretted attacking that day..
