Chapter 494: Twisted Lan Cheng

Inside a hotel.

Lan Cheng, wearing a towel, was feeding the fish.

These were ornamental fish kept by the hotel, meant to provide some entertainment for the guests.

In the bedroom behind him, a tall and curvaceous woman lay naked across the bed.

If you looked closely, you’d notice that the woman’s chest was no longer rising and falling, and her lips were pale. She was already dead.

“Take care of it.”

After finishing with the fish, Lan Cheng sat on the sofa, waving his hand indifferently, as if he’d just squashed an ant.

At his command, two bodyguards entered the bedroom and started dealing with the body.

“Young Master, the person has arrived. Should we act now?”

A bodyguard entered from outside, casting a brief glance at the scene in the bedroom before looking away. Although he felt some pity for the unknown woman, he chose not to interfere.

This was a habit of his Young Master. After sleeping with a woman, he would strangle her to death, right at the moment of climax.

His Young Master once said that his pleasure came from bringing someone to the peak of ecstasy before personally snuffing out their life.

The bodyguard found it twisted, but who was he to say anything? He had no right to question the Young Master’s actions.

“Get out. Knock before you come back in.”

Lan Cheng said calmly, never even lifting his head to look at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard’s expression stiffened, cold sweat forming on his forehead, before he obediently left the room and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

At Lan Cheng’s words, the bodyguard re-entered the room.

“You’ve been with me for a while now. If you need me to remind you again, you can just leave.”

Lan Cheng looked at the bodyguard and spoke in an even tone.

The bodyguard shivered. “Yes, Young Master. I assure you it won’t happen again.”

“Send Xu Shaochen the coordinates. Have him act today. Are we still being watched?”

Lan Cheng spoke as he walked into the bedroom and slowly began to dress.

Meanwhile, the two bodyguards had already stuffed the woman’s body into a suitcase.

This sight, combined with Lan Cheng’s emotionless demeanor, created an eerie, terrifying atmosphere.

“They… they’re still there. They haven’t left.”

The bodyguard swallowed hard and lowered his head, feeling too afraid to lift it.

This was a man who didn’t hesitate to kill, yet his legs felt weak, almost like they were giving out.

He only killed with a purpose, but Lan Cheng killed just for fun. Who would guess that beneath such a refined exterior lay such a monstrous heart?

So, how much filth could be hidden beneath a polished surface?

“Get ready. We’re going back to Yijing.”

Lan Cheng’s tone was flat.

“Yes, Young Master.”

The bodyguard responded, then turned and left.

Lan Cheng looked at his suave reflection in the mirror, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. He made a gun gesture with his hand, mimicking the sound of a gunshot with his mouth.

“Bang.”

………………

At the Liu sisters’ home.

Xu Shaochen was in the kitchen, wearing an apron as he personally cooked for the two sisters sitting in the living room.

It’s no exaggeration to say that there aren’t many people in the world who can boast about having a meal prepared by him.

“Ring ring ring…”

The phone suddenly rang, and Liu Ruxu, dressed in a camisole, entered the kitchen holding Xu Shaochen’s phone.

“You big perv, here’s your call.”

Xu Shaochen shot her a glare. “Watch your mouth! Does a perv cook you meals? I’m treating you like my close daughters!”

“Daddy, your phone’s ringing. Is that any better? Are you satisfied with your sweet daughter’s tone?” Liu Ruxu batted her eyes as she leaned intimately against Xu Shaochen.

Seeing Liu Ruxu’s flirty behavior, Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but stiffen slightly out of respect as he reached out to take the phone.

“What’s the matter?”

“Boss, the person we’ve been watching just left the hotel. He just got on the highway, heading toward Yijing.”

“He’s heading back?”

Xu Shaochen frowned. Lan Cheng definitely didn’t come to Jiangzhou for a vacation; he was surely here for revenge for his brother.

But up until now, aside from throwing a few taunts at him at the charity dinner the other night, Lan Cheng hadn’t done anything. And now he’s leaving? “Keep following him. Report any developments immediately.”

With that, Xu Shaochen hung up, worried that Lan Cheng might be trying to mislead them, only to double back.

“Dear daddy, isn’t the food ready yet? Your two darling daughters are starving.”

Liu Ruxu hugged Xu Shaochen from behind, causing him to shiver as he glanced towards the living room. Then, he gestured for Liu Ruxu to look down at the floor.

Blushing, Liu Ruxu shot Xu Shaochen a coquettish look before kneeling down, her delicate face looking up at him pitifully.

Xu Shaochen wasn’t a saint. Looking at Liu Ruxu in this state, how could he possibly resist? Would he even be a man if he did? In the living room, Liu Rushuang, hearing the sounds from the kitchen, blushed furiously and spat, “Shameless.”

During dinner, Xu Shaochen ate five full bowls, though that probably wasn’t enough to replace all the energy he’d just expended.

After dinner, Xu Shaochen spent some more time with the two sisters before leaving, much to their dismay.

The car was waiting outside the compound. Xu Shaochen walked out of the building, surrounded by his bodyguards. One of the bodyguards was already ahead, opening the car door.

“Damn!”

Suddenly, Xu Shaochen cursed and instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, as a flash of light had just reflected in his face.

“Watch out!”

Long San noticed the glint as well. Due to his profession, he was even more alert, immediately tackling Xu Shaochen into the car.

“Bang!”

At the same time, a bullet nearly grazed Xu Shaochen’s head.

“Call the police! Get the boss out of here!”

Long San scrambled into the car, barking orders while using his body to shield Xu Shaochen.

After all, it was far too easy for a sniper to take out their target through a car window.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a distant building, a blond, blue-eyed foreigner cursed and continued aiming, this time shooting at the tires.

“Bang.”

The tire was hit, causing the car to lose balance and come to a stop. The other bodyguards quickly maneuvered to shield Xu Shaochen’s vehicle.

“Ah!”

Xu Shaochen was safe, but the bodyguards weren’t so lucky. Two of them were killed on the spot.

“Wee-oo, wee-oo…”

As the sound of the police sirens got closer, the foreigner disassembled his sniper rifle, placed it in a guitar case, and then unhurriedly descended the building.
