Chapter 1386: The Supreme Killer (30)
Ming Shu leaned against the pillar and drank her milk tea as she waited for Xuan Ge to finish buying food.
“Here it is.”
Ming Shu opened the bag. The fragrant smell of food wafted into her nose. She smiled happily. “Smells good.”
“Not as good as you.”
Xuan Ge was an expert at comforting Ming Shu now.
A lady beside them poked her boyfriend’s chest. “Learn from him. You should learn how to comfort me too.”
The man rolled his eyes. “You’re not as pretty as that lady.”
The lady got angry and dashed away. The man hurriedly chased after her.
Ming Shu leaned into Xuan Ge’s arm. “How funny.”
Xuan Ge: “…”
As someone who always got teased, he didn’t want to express his opinion.
When Ming Shu was irritating, she was really irritating.
Xuan Ge asked her, “Where do you want to go?”
“That X… the person we caught last time. Is he still at your place?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go find him.”
Xuan Ge’s gaze turned dark.
What does she want to do?
…
Xuan Ge was unwilling to do it, but he still brought Ming Shu to his place.
It was a quiet little cottage. Smoke drifted out of the chimney. They could hear voices inside.
Xuan Ge knocked on the door with a specific rhythm.
The door flew open.
“Boss!”
Su Qi’s excited voice rang through the room.
“Boss, come in.”
Su Qi invited Xuan Ge in happily.
He didn’t expect a young lady to be behind Xuan Ge.
Su Qi’s expression froze.
Why was she here?
Su Qi’s gaze landed on their hands. They were holding hands. He was flabbergasted.
He must be dreaming.
Su Qi wanted to slam the door shut and lie back on his bed.
However, he didn’t dare do it.
Xuan Ge held Ming Shu’s hand and walked in.
There was a barbecue rack in the courtyard. A fragrant smell was coming from it.
Bai Hao was tied to a chair not far away. He looked like a mummy.
It would be hard for him to break free and run away.
Bai Hao stared at the barbecued meat with bloodshot eyes.
When Ming Shu walked in, Bai Hao glared at her.
How dare this lady come here!
Ming Shu gave Mister X a warm smile.
Bai Hao: “…” She’s laughing at me!
“Boss.” Wei Yi came out too. “You’re back.”
He was stunned when he saw Ming Shu.
A female?!
Alive?
Boss is standing beside a female!
Su Qi closed the door and ran toward Wei Yi. “Wei Yi, this is the lady I mentioned to you last time.”
“Which one?” Wei Yi was dumbstruck. His mind wasn’t working properly.
Su Qi glanced at Ming Shu and lowered his voice. “The one who hurt me last time.”
Wei Yi was enlightened.
It’s her.
Why is the boss with her?
“Boss, you…” Wei Yi was bolder than Su Qi.
“Shu Ran, my girlfriend.”
Su Qi and Wei Yi felt as though they were struck by lightning.
Girlfriend?
Like, a real girlfriend?
Su Qi looked at Ming Shu, frightened.
Their boss was already scary enough. Now, there was another one.
How was he supposed to live!
Ming Shu: “…” Why is he looking at me like this? I’m not a demon.
Su Qi and Wei Yi regained their composure quickly.
As killers, they must learn to accept everything calmly.
“Sister-in-law, have a seat. Sister-in-law, have some tea. Sister-in-law, have some meat.”
Su Qi started serving Ming Shu obediently.
Xuan Ge pulled him away.
If you give her food, she’ll treat you well.
Xuan Ge glared at Su Qi coldly.
She belongs to me!
Su Qi: ???
What did he do?
Wei Yi pulled Su Qi to the side. Their boss didn’t want them to be around their sister-in-law. If he continued hanging around her, he would be beaten up.
“Sister-in-law, if I knew that you were my sister-in-law before, I wouldn’t have treated you disrespectfully.”
Su Qi told Xuan Ge about what happened before.
If not, he wouldn’t have asked.
Su Qi was nervous. He was afraid that Ming Shu would take revenge on him.
Hence, he quickly admitted his mistake first.
“It’s all right. I’m magnanimous. I pushed you down that time. You were lucky that you didn’t die.” Ming Shu’s voice was soft and gentle.
Su Qi: “…”
Her voice wasn’t nice at all!
Scary!
She was as frightening as his boss.
“Wuwuwu…”
Bai Hao kept struggling.
He had been imprisoned here for a few months. They tortured him every day.
Every day!
They barbecued meat every day!
But never gave him a single bite!
He hadn’t eaten meat for the past few months.
Devils!
Ming Shu chewed her barbecued meat and looked at Bai Hao curiously.
“He didn’t run away?”
Xuan Ge looked at Wei Yi.
Wei Yi didn’t know that Ming Shu knew Bai Hao too. “He tried to escape twice so we gave him some sedatives. He’s more obedient now.”
Bai Hao was strong and he liked to play small tricks.
They all knew what kind of person he was so they kept their guards up. He ran away twice, but they managed to drag him back.
“So useless?” Ming Shu muttered.
Did he get locked up in the Apocalypse Pagoda for too long and now there was something wrong with his brain?
His memory was gone so some of his powers might be sealed too. It seemed normal that he would become stupider after being locked up for a long time.
Ming Shu ate two sticks of barbecued meat. Then, she got up and walked toward Bai Hao.
“Boss…”
Xuan Ge looked at him casually. Su Qi shut up.
Ming Shu pulled off Bai Hao’s gag.
Bai Hao’s eyes were bloodshot. He shouted immediately, “I want to eat meat!”
Ming Shu: “…”
Ming Shu took a step back silently.
How can I give you my meat?
No way!
“Do you have any last words?” Ming Shu smiled and asked.
Bai Hao: “…”
Last words?
Why would he have last words?
“No? I’ll not show mercy, then.”
“…”
Lunatic!
Ming Shu took out a rock.
Bai Hao felt a sense of danger when he saw the stone. His hair stood up.
Xuan Ge looked over. He had no reaction.
Wei Yi and Su Qi were shocked.
There’s something wrong with our sister-in-law.
Bai Hao kept moving back to prevent his head from touching the rock.
But, the stone still touched his forehead.
Silence—
The stone was slightly cold.
He didn’t feel anything else.
Bai Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
Nothing happened.
Ming Shu muttered, “It’s still not ready.”
Bai Hao watched Ming Shu as she took the stone back and continued eating her meat.
Bai Hao: ???
