Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (17) Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Domineering Female CEO vs. Civilian Xiao Bai Hua (17) “Host, I am here.” The system’s calm voice came through.
The system replied, “Host, you are suspected to have been abducted.”
Gu Shengyin moved slightly and found that, aside from feeling weak and sore all over, she had no other sensations. The shot she received earlier must have been an anesthetic.
“Help me survey the nearby terrain and inform me how many people are outside guarding.”
The system quickly provided an answer: “Host, you are in the Shao family’s territory in City A. There are over thirty adult human males in the independent manor where the host is located, among them, twenty armed with guns…”
The Shao family is also one of the underworld forces. However, the Shao family and the Long’s have always kept out of each other’s way. So, what’s the motive for them to take action against me this time?
Gu Shengyin suddenly recalled that the Shao family and the Xia family had always been sworn enemies. Could it be related to that recent rumor?
Only that would make sense. It seems the Shao family truly believes she has a close relationship with Xia Wanjun, using her as a hostage.
At this moment, someone pushed the door and came in. Gu Shengyin looked over to see an old man about fifty years old, dressed in a dark red Tang suit.
Gu Shengyin recognized him: “Old Master Shao, I wonder why you have taken such trouble. What brings you here?”
Shao Shengxiong had not expected Gu Shengyin to remain so calm under these circumstances.
However, he did not answer Gu Shengyin’s question. Instead, he said, “Eldest Miss Long of the Long Family, you truly are a beauty. No wonder…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Gu Shengyin understood. Indeed, it was related to Xia Wanjun.
Shao Shengxiong waved his hand towards his men, and one of them walked over, holding a syringe.
Gu Shengyin’s expression suddenly turned cold as she stared at him: “What are you trying to do?”
Shao Shengxiong smiled affably: “There’s no need for panic, Eldest Miss Long. It’s merely a sedative to calm you down. Rest assured, it’s nothing addictive.”
As he spoke, the syringe in his subordinate’s hand was slowly injected into Gu Shengyin’s arm.
Once again, Gu Shengyin could not resist the encroaching darkness and fell into a deep sleep.
The smile vanished from Shao Shengxiong’s face, and he ordered his subordinate: “Go, make a video for Fourth Master Xia, let him see the predicament of his woman.”
However, his subordinate did not respond.
Shao Shengxiong felt something was amiss. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a voice that made him shudder.
“No need, I am already here.”
For an instant, Shao Shengxiong’s body stiffened. He turned around to see Xia Wanjun standing at the doorway.
He was the same as always, impeccably dressed in a black suit, with not a hint of worldliness about him, his hair not even slightly out of place.
Only Shao Shengxiong himself knew how tight the security of the manor was, and what a great effort it would take to get inside.
Yet at this moment, all these facts only served to illustrate just how fearsome Xia Wanjun, the man, truly was.
Suddenly, Shao Shengxiong pulled out a handgun, pointing it at Gu Shengyin behind him, yet his gaze was fixed on Xia Wanjun: “Fourth Master Xia does live up to his reputation, I must say I admire you, Shao.”
Xia Wanjun’s expression remained unchanged: “What do you want.”
Shao Shengxiong started to laugh: “Fourth Master Xia is indeed straightforward. I’m outmatched and I concede. You only need to promise not to trouble me anymore, and I will pack up and leave the country within a day, ensuring I never bother Fourth Master again.”
He was a man aware of his limitations, knowing well that keeping his life after this incident was already the best outcome.
