Chapter 853: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (21)
Yin Baobao was bound to a chair, while the bodyguards were tossed into a room in the villa by Shi Sheng, with a talisman stuck on the door to keep them from causing trouble.
“Yin Baobao.” Shi Sheng dragged a chair opposite Yin Baobao and sat down. “Having fun?”
Yin Baobao’s once neat and dignified hairdo was now a tangled mess from her struggles. She glared furiously at Shi Sheng. “Bu Meng, what do you want?”
“Don’t be so fierce,” Shi Sheng leaned back, propping her legs up arrogantly and shaking them. “You weren’t this fierce when you kidnapped me back then.”
Yin Baobao seethed with hatred, unable to fathom how Shi Sheng had escaped back then. ‘Those useless idiots!’
Suddenly, a thought struck Yin Baobao. Her pupils dilated, and with a hint of tremor in her voice, she asked, “Who exactly are you?”
‘Anyone can transmigrate into a book, so maybe someone else did too. This Bu Meng seems like a completely different person.’
Shi Sheng gave a sinister smile and spouted nonsense. “I’m the author. You thought you could run wild in my book? Do you think I’m(lz) blind?”
‘The author? Impossible…’
“You…” Yin Baobao’s voice quivered with fear. ‘Where am I? Why is the author here? Or is this all just a dream?’
Biting her tongue hard, the pain confirmed this wasn’t a dream. It was real.
“What’s going on?” Yin Baobao became frantic. “Is all of this your doing?”
Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. “Are you stupid?”
Yin Baobao: “…”
“If I could control everything, I would’ve killed you long ago. Why would I bother tying you up?”
Yin Baobao’s mind was a whirlwind of confusion. She thought she was lucky, transmigrating into a rich heiress’ body, ready to outshine the original protagonist like in the novels. But nothing was going as planned.
And now, the supposed author shows up?
Ignoring Yin Baobao’s increasingly distressed expression, Shi Sheng tilted her chin up. “So, you want to die on your own, or do you need help?”
Yin Baobao wriggled, trying to break free. ‘I don’t want to die; I fought too hard to survive. I don’t want to die.’
Shi Sheng, impatient with the conversation, drew her iron sword, ready to end it. Killing off the villain wouldn’t mess up the world.
Yin Baobao’s fear turned to frantic struggling. “Bu Meng, you can’t kill me… why would you kill me… don’t come closer, don’t come closer.”
‘Why? Because the original owner wanted revenge.’
‘Wait…’
‘The original plan was to expose Yin Baobao.’
‘Oh, almost forgot that part.’
【…】'At least you remembered the original owner's wishes. Always ready to kill, you'd break this game if it were one.'
‘Pei!’
‘This is no game!’
Shi Sheng paused, rubbing her chin as her eyes darted around. ‘Fine, I’ll expose her first, then kill her.’
Seeing Shi Sheng halt, Yin Baobao breathed heavily, feeling like she had narrowly escaped death.
But it wasn’t over.
She watched as Shi Sheng produced a video camera from who-knows-where and set it up. “Yin Baobao, I’ll give you a chance. Confess your crimes, and I’ll let you die painlessly.”
Yin Baobao: “…” ‘Still have to die? Then what’s the point of confessing?’
Having the guts to orchestrate things such as kidnappings, Yin Baobao forced herself to calm down. “What will it take for you to let me go? I’ll give you money. I have money.”
“Like I care about money,” Shi Sheng sneered. “No matter what, I won’t let you go. When you kidnapped me, did you think of sparing me?”
‘With the atrocities Yin Baobao’s committed, even death is too lenient.’
Shi Sheng’s face turned menacing. “Enough. Start talking.”
Yin Baobao shuddered, glancing at the cold gleam of the sword reflecting in her eyes. It chilled her to the bone.
Yin Baobao didn’t want to speak, but Shi Sheng’s murderous aura made her cry and confess everything.
She detailed her kidnapping of Shi Sheng, her schemes against Yin Shijie’s illegitimate children, and her current plot against Yu Sheng.
Anything she hesitated to say, Shi Sheng would prompt her with it.
Yin Baobao was on the brink of a breakdown. She wished she had died then and there. ‘Why did I have to end up in this book?’
‘The worst decision was not killing Bu Meng back then. If Bu Meng was dead, none of this would have happened.’
‘I’d still be the glamorous heiress of the Yin family.’
After recording the confession, Shi Sheng prepared to dispose of the body.
Yin Baobao’s face turned ashen. “Please don’t kill me. I know I was wrong… please, don’t kill me…”
“Who said I’m going to kill you?”
Yin Baobao: “…” ‘You just said it yourself earlier!’
“Killing is illegal,” Shi Sheng chuckled.
【…】 'Does Feng Ci know how capricious you are?'
Shi Sheng sent the video to the police and made an anonymous report before erasing any trace of her presence.
Watching this, Yin Baobao felt an eerie sense of doom. ‘Is she covering her tracks to kill me and hide the evidence?’
However, Shi Sheng didn’t kill Yin Baobao. Once assured the police couldn’t tie her to the scene, she headed to the room for a “discussion” with the bodyguards.
Yin Baobao waited but heard nothing.
As she struggled with her bonds, the villa door was violently kicked open, and police officers flooded in.
The first thing they saw were large words scrawled behind Yin Baobao:
“Punish evil, promote good, make a name for yourself.”
The police: “…” ‘What the hell?’
After surveying the scene, they found the tied-up bodyguards, all suspiciously tight-lipped about Shi Sheng’s presence, claiming they had been bound upon waking.
Only Yin Baobao insisted it was Shi Sheng, but she had no proof. Meanwhile, the crimes she confessed to in the video were traceable, leaving her defenseless.
“Captain Hong, Yin Baobao insists it was Bu Meng who coerced her. Given the scene and her bindings, it’s clear someone else was involved.”
“Her again?” Captain Hong slammed the desk in frustration. “She’s like a ghost that won’t leave.”
Officer: “…”
Realizing his outburst, Captain Hong cleared his throat. “Any useful info from the scene?”
The officer shook his head. “No.” That was the odd part.
No fingerprints, no surveillance footage, and the bodyguards swore ignorance. They claimed they were already bound when they woke up.
“Is this a vigilante act?” the officer muttered.
Captain Hong didn’t believe it for a second.
“Check every inch of surveillance footage from the villa district!” Captain Hong was convinced Shi Sheng was involved and was determined to find evidence.
