I Conquered the Villain Boss Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Beat Him Up
In the guestroom of the apartment, the two girls each occupied a corner. They stared at each other, shooting daggers at each other with their eyes.
It was quiet in the room. Occasionally, they could hear voices outside.
Perhaps they were wary of the two people in the guestroom, the people spoke so quietly that it was hard to hear them clearly.
As time passed, Zhou Jian became more panicked. She originally believed that Luo Rui could save her, but now she wasn’t that certain.
If Youzi couldn't be saved, what would Captain Xue do to her? Kill her? If Captain Xue wanted to kill her, would Luo Rui save her?
She thought she was close with Luo Rui, but when this question popped up in her mind, the first answer that came to her mind was no.
Luo Rui wouldn’t save her...
This was the apocalypse, the survival of the fittest. When friendship and benefits were placed at both ends of the balance, the balance would undoubtedly tilt towards benefits.
Her friendship with Luo Rui wasn’t worth as much as the benefits that Xue Weixin could bring to Luo Rui.
It was that simple.
Since she knew that, what should she do now? Run away? Where could she escape from, and where could she escape to... As long as she was in this base, she had nowhere to escape.
Compared with Zhou Jian's nervousness, He Ru was relaxed.
She sat carefreely on the chair, shaking her legs leisurely. She was just short of lying on the bed to sleep.
She wasn't scared at all.
She wasn’t the perpetrator. If one thought about it seriously, she was also one of the victims.
Before those people dealt with her, they should deal with Zhou Jian, the culprit first.
At the thought that Zhou Jian would die before her, she wasn’t afraid of anything, and even wanted to laugh in the woman’s face.
……
According to Shen Lang's instructions, Zheng Li found Jiang Ran in the garden. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took her to a room to rest.
"The room that Old Mr. Shen arranged for you is where your mother used to live."
Leading Jiang Ran upstairs, Zheng Li found a suitable topic.
"After Ms. Shen got married, the room became vacant. Nothing in it was touched, including the photo album containing photos of your childhood."
Jiang Ran listened with a smile and nodded from time to time as basic courtesy.
The butler took her to the room and stood at the door watching the girl look at the room curiously. He smiled kindly and said, "Miss Ranran, you lived in this room when you were a child. I don't know if you still remember it."
"I have a little impression. "Jiang Ran smiled shyly. "I don't remember many things from my childhood, probably because I was too young."
"It’s okay. You’ll recall things if you stay for a few more days." Zheng Li bowed slightly. "If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng. You may go ahead with your work. Don't worry about me."
The door closed and Jiang Ran walked around the room.
The room was small in size and decorated in warm colors. The bay window was filled with various figurines and dolls. The bed sheet and duvet cover were pink, and the curtains were also light pink...
"The room is full of girlishness," Jiang Ran muttered and picked up the photo album on the table.
The photo album was thick. Most of the photos were single photos of Jiang Ranran when she was a child. There were also a few photos of Jiang Ranran and her mother.
After flipping through the photo album, Jiang Ran was puzzled. There was no photo of Jiang Yize in this photo album? How strange.
However, Jiang Ranran was really cute when she was a child. She was a soft and cute child. She was a little dazed when she looked at the camera. In several photos, she was giggling and drooling... how adorable.
Just as she was about to look through the photo album from the beginning, the door was pushed open.
The man reeked unpleasantly of alcohol. When he saw Jiang Ran, his eyes lit up and he staggered into the room. "I didn't expect a little beauty to be hiding here. Haha, I'm lucky today."
Jiang Ran looked at the man coldly, closed the photo album, and hit him on the head with the photo album.
"Thud!"
"Ouch!" The drunken man was slow to react. He was hit on the forehead with the sharp corner of the photo album, which almost made him cry in pain.
"Are you sobered up now?" Jiang Ran raised her chin. "If you’re sober, please leave."
Putting his hand on his swelling forehead, the man glared at Jiang Ran with reddened eyes and a fierce look on his face. "Leave? Which fool would leave when he could have the woman in front of him?"
"You know how to compare yourself to a fool. That shows your thoughts are coherent. It seems you’re not drunk." Jiang Ran sneered. "If you aren’t drunk, you must’ve known whose room this is, and who I am, right?"
The man inexplicably panicked when he was stared at by the girl's bright eyes. He quickly calmed down after thinking about Shen Lang's instructions. "Whose room is this? Who are you? I don't know, and I don't care either..."
"How could you not know or care?" Jiang Ran said, "If you accidentally went to the wrong room and got the wrong person, wouldn't it be difficult to explain to the person who arranged for you to come here?"
"How did you know..."
He blurted out his doubt and before he could finish the question, he saw the girl’s sarcastic smile. The man suddenly realized that he had been tricked.
Jiang Ran got the answer she wanted. She didn't ask who the person that arranged for him to come was.
This was the Shen family's territory, the safest place in the entire Xiling base. Who else here besides Shen Lang had the guts to arrange for someone to bully her?
Ignoring the man's panicked expression, Jiang Ran quietly retreated to the window.
"Those people had nothing better to do."
"They held such a grand welcome party to make me think I’m important to them. In the end, before the party was even over, they schemed against me."
"What do they want? They asked you to come to this room and do something to me on the pretext of being drunk, and then what? They asked you to marry me, right?"
As the girl asked her questions one after another, the cold sweat on the man's face became more obvious.
Marshal Shen said that his granddaughter was a university student. She was innocent, lovely and gullible. That was why she was bewitched by Si Xu's appearance.
Now, it seemed that this woman was smart and marrying her wasn’t a good choice.
However, there was no turning back. At this point, he could only follow Marshal Shen's orders and carry out the plan.
He glanced back at the door to make sure there was no one else in the corridor. Then, he locked the door directly, and approached the girl step by step.
"Since you've already guessed it, then why not cooperate with me and put on a good show? When I get Marshal Shen's support, you’ll naturally benefit from it."
Was he preparing to force himself on her? Jiang Ran gripped the gun at her waist. When the man was two steps away, she raised her hand and fired without hesitation, aiming at the man's forehead.
Si Xu once said: When dealing with a person with superpowers, she must not give him a chance to fight back, and must kill him with one shot.
The bullet shot out and stopped one centimeter away from the man's forehead.
"You brought a gun?" He flicked the bullet in front of his forehead with his finger. Under Jiang Ran's shocked gaze, the man explained with a leisurely smile, "Unfortunately, I’m a fourth-level superhuman with metal-type abilities, so bullets can’t do anything to me."
He had metal-type abilities, and was even a fourth-level superhuman. It had been six months since the apocalypse, and fourth-level superhumans were still rare. It seemed that this person was Shen Lang's trusted aide.
Confirming that bullets were useless against him, Jiang Ran pointed the gun back at herself. "Don't come any nearer, or I’ll shoot myself immediately."
The man stopped and frowned. "Are you crazy?" He sneered. "You’re an ordinary person, and a loose woman who has slept with Si Xu. It’s for Marshal Shen’s sake that I’m willing to have you. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
"Did you leave your house without brushing your teeth?" Jiang Ran dissed rudely at the chauvinistic man, "Or did your mother feed your brain to the zombies when she gave birth to you? You’re an ugly idiot. Why do you think I’ll fancy you?"
The man, "..."
"Listen, I've seen many people like you –– you feel superior to others just because you’ve awakened superpowers in the apocalypse. If you’re really that capable, don't depend on the Shen family! You’re typically the kind of guy who wants to elevate in rank depending on women! Yet, you feel you’re noble and look down on women –– you’re really trash. No, trash is better than you. At least trash knows it’s trash and lies in the recycling bin –– as for you? Why are you wandering around outside? Don’t you know you’re an eyesore?”
Since he became a close confidant of the Shen family, no woman had dared to point her finger at him. The man clenched his back teeth and asked word by word, "...Have you said enough?"
"Not yet." Jiang Ran sneered. "What? You want to beat me up because you can't outtalk me? You want to attack a woman. How awesome. Do you want me to applaud you? You’re such trash!"
"Shut up!"
Unable to bear it, the man slashed at the chattering woman with a sharp blade.
He hated young ladies from wealthy families the most. She was obviously a loose woman, yet she still put on a condescending attitude and looked down on others.
Bitch! Loose woman! What right did you have to dislike me?
Go to hell! Go to hell!
The sharp blade struck at Jiang Ran, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
Actually, she regretted it belatedly. She shouldn't have been so quick-tongued.
If she had stalled for time, she might have had a chance to jump out of the window and escape. Now, all she could do is close her eyes and wait for death.
Sigh, I was still too impulsive.
While she was thinking about that, the sharp blade came at her with the whirring sound of the wind. The moment the blade touched her finger, it suddenly shattered and scattered in the air like fragmented particles.
Jiang Ran, "Huh?"
What was going on? That knife shattered?
When the sharp blade disintegrated, the man looked even more confused than Jiang Ran.
He looked at his hand, then at the girl opposite who had an equally confused look on her face. Refusing to give up, he formed a blade again and slashed at her.
Of course, the weapon conjured up by his metal-type abilities disintegrated upon touching Jiang Ran.
The man opened his mouth wide as if he had swallowed a fly, and roared in disbelief, "How could this happen?!"
Was there something wrong with his superpower? Or did this woman in front of him know witchcraft? If he didn’t see it wrongly, his superpower was disintegrated by her.
How could it be? How could that be possible?
Just as he was about to try again, a vase hit him, and with a crash, it shattered on his head.
The man's eyes widened and he fell straight back.
Jiang Ran threw away the remaining fragments of the vase in her hand, walked up to the man and kicked him. "Are you dead? If you aren’t, make a sound."
The man's eyes rolled back and he remained motionless.
Jiang Ran checked his breathing.
He wasn’t dead. He just fainted.
Thinking about it, Jiang Ran still felt angry, so she kicked him twice again.
