Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

Chapter 862: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (30)

Xia Ling didn’t question how Shi Sheng managed to deal with the customs officers. Deep within, he harbored a trust in her that was unshakeable. Whatever she did, he knew it wouldn’t harm him.

Curiosity about her activities didn’t cross his mind; all he wanted was her presence by his side.

With Shi Sheng’s assistance, An Chen was no match for Xia Ling. Within a few rounds, An Chen was faltering.

Xia Ling secured control of the Xia Corporation by promising Xia Zhi he would absorb Anshi Enterprises and push Xia Corp to new heights.

Just as he was about to acquire Anshi Enterprises, a third party emerged, aiming to swoop in and reap the benefits.

Anshi Enterprises was cornered, and the offer from the third party was irresistible. An Chen was likely to accept their terms.

“Master, the signing ceremony starts in ten minutes.”

A secretary, standing respectfully outside the car, reported to the person inside.

The car window rolled down halfway, revealing a young man inside, barely illuminated by the dim light.

A laptop rested on his lap, its glow casting an eerie blue light on his delicate features.

“Got it,” the young man’s voice drifted out from the car.

The secretary nodded slightly and departed.

“Shi Sheng, there’s no way you can beat me!” Mu Bai closed his laptop, a confident smirk playing on his lips.

“Think you can beat me? You’ll need a few hundred years more practice!”

Mu Bai’s smile froze as the light beside him darkened suddenly. A petite figure appeared at the car window, her doll-like face carrying a hint of amusement. “Mu Bai! You’ve been hiding well, haven’t you?”

‘Not again!!!’

‘Fuck!’

‘I’ve been so cautious!’

‘Stay calm. A gentleman must remain calm and composed.’

‘Where’s the knife for my^(bs) seppuku?’

Mu Bai was internally collapsing, yet his face remained composed. “Shi Sheng, long time no see.”

“Every time you say that same line. Can’t you come up with something new?” Shi Sheng eyed Mu Bai with a look that practically screamed ‘retard.’

Mu Bai took a deep breath, mentally chanting mantras for peace. “How did you know it was me?”

“Why should I tell you?” ‘It’s not like I’m^(lz) stupid. Why would I help you?’

Mu Bai: “…” ‘Fine, don’t tell me. What’re you getting angry for?’

Shi Sheng scrutinized Mu Bai. He was the illegitimate child of Yin Bao Bao’s father’s mistress.

No wonder Yin Bao Bao claimed she had suffered greatly at the hands of those two bastards. With Mu Bai around, how could she stand a chance?

‘So, this retard’s here to compete with me?’

Shi Sheng moved towards Mu Bai.

Mu Bai’s body tensed. He abruptly raised his hand, pressing a knife to his throat, and shouted, “Don’t come closer.”

Shi Sheng: “…” ‘This guy is addicted to suicide, isn’t he?’

Mu Bai didn’t want to kill himself, but he would rather that than be caught by Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng halted, her gaze steady on him. “Who are you working for?”

Mu Bai’s delicate features twisted for a moment. “I thought you were omnipotent, but it seems there are many things you don’t know. That thought alone makes me feel much better. See you next time!”

‘Feel better, my ass!’

He was going to die again.

‘Again, another entrance leading to a death scene!’

‘What kind of freakish plot is this?’

Seeing Shi Sheng approaching, Mu Bai did not hesitate. He slashed his throat decisively, the blade swift and fatal.

Shi Sheng was a second too late. If he had hesitated even a moment, she could have stopped him. But he didn’t.

‘He commits suicide way too quickly!’

‘Next time I see him, I’ll capture him first. Once he’s in my hands, let’s see if he’s still able to kill himself!’

‘Motherfucker, I’m^(bbb) so pissed!’

Just as Shi Sheng was about to leave, a squad of police emerged from nowhere, their guns trained on her.

History eerily repeated itself.

Shi Sheng: “…” ‘Where the hell did you all come from?! Damn it!’

This time, it wasn’t just a fight; there was a dead body involved.

Leading the team was an old officer Shi Sheng had never seen before. His experience was evident.

“Did you kill him?” The old officer asked as soon as he arrived.

Shi Sheng shook her head. “No.”

“No?” The officer raised his voice. “If you didn’t kill him, then what were you doing at the crime scene?”

Shi Sheng remained calm. “This is a public place. Why can’t I be here?”

The old officer seemed to find her argument reasonable and switched tactics. “What did you see?”

He scrutinized the girl before him, her doll-like face making her appear very young, almost juvenile. Yet, she remained unnervingly calm in this situation.

‘This isn’t how a little girl should behave at all!’

“I saw him commit suicide.”

The old officer almost choked on his own saliva. “What did you say?”

Shi Sheng repeated, “I saw him commit suicide.”

“You saw him commit suicide? With your own eyes?”

Shi Sheng’s lips curled into a smile. “Sorry, I didn’t have time to record it.”

‘This girl’s unnerving calmness, her ability to smile while discussing suicide, it’s disturbing.’

‘No, it isn’t calmness.’

‘It’s cold-bloodedness.’

She was entirely devoid of emotion, her eyes disturbingly serene. At an age when nothing should be hidden, she was impenetrable, like fortified walls.

Cold and ruthless, the officer had encountered such types before. Realizing this, he approached Shi Sheng with heightened caution.

Psychopaths often had higher intelligence, particularly those who remained composed. They were tough to deal with.

Before the old officer could devise a strategy, Captain Hong arrived with reinforcements.

No introduction was needed for Shi Sheng, an old acquaintance.

“Miss Bu, this time you’ve caused a death?” ‘Previous incidents had no fatalities; now there’s a dead body. What’s next, a massacre?’

“It has nothing to do with me. He committed suicide.” ‘I’m not taking the fall for this one.’

“Suicide?” Captain Hong’s brows furrowed. He called over the coroner.

The results confirmed suicide, and no suspicious fingerprints were found in the car.

“Did you check the garage’s surveillance?” Such garages typically had extensive monitoring.

“Captain Hong, I was about to tell you. The footage from that time is missing, likely deleted. The tech team is trying to recover it.”

Shi Sheng’s eyebrows arched. ‘Mu Bai had another trick up his sleeve.’

‘No wonder the police arrived so promptly.’

Mu Bai’s death was peculiar, and Shi Sheng, the sole suspect at the scene, was taken to the station.

Now accustomed to this routine, Shi Sheng greeted everyone with practiced ease.

The officers: “…” ‘This scam artist is back? Who brought her in?’

“I see a dark aura around you, a sign of impending misfortune…”

“I see…”

“Miss Bu!” Captain Hong barked.

‘Does she really think this is her home?’

Shi Sheng blinked innocently at Captain Hong. “I was just saying hello. Why so fierce?”
