I Conquered the Villain Boss Chapter 69
Translated by Digitalian (ko-fi)
Chapter 69: Silenced
His whole body ached, and his bones felt as though they had cracked. A slight movement would make him feel dizzy and nauseous... Hu Bing opened his eyes and struggled to move his body, immediately alerting the young nurse who was keeping watch.
"Are you awake?" The young nurse held him down and told him, "Don't move yet. Tell me what you want."
"Shen..."
"What?"
"Captain Shen..." Hu Bing muttered the two words with difficulty.
He must tell Captain Shen that woman was also a superhuman, and possessed a rare superpower that couldn’t be sensed — she had a combat power that could be cultivated and was a rare research object.
Such a person must not be left in Si Xu's hands.
"You want to see Captain Shen?" The young nurse remembered the Shen family's instructions and said, "It just so happened that Captain Shen also gave instructions to inform him as soon as you wake up –– you rest for a while. I’ll tell Captain Shen."
When Hu Bing heard that reply, he nodded and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
The woman's footsteps faded away, and the room was so quiet that he could hear the howling wind outside the window.
The wind was so strong tonight, and it felt quite cold on his face... The man shivered and opened his eyes suddenly.
The window was wide open, and a slender and tall figure stood by the window.
When Hu Bing saw the man's face clearly, his eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up.
"Did you see it?" the man asked in a nonchalant manner.
Did he see it? What did he see? Hu Bing paused in his movements, feeling confused.
"Her superpower."
Her? Unable to move his body, Hu Bing gave up on sitting up. He lay on the bed, staring at the man warily. "Is Professor Si here for that woman?"
The young man did not come closer. He repeated his question, "Did you see it?"
Of course he did! Otherwise, how could he be so badly beaten? Hu Bing sneered. "It seems that Professor Si already knows how special she is!"
Si Xu rushed here late at night, probably to prevent him from revealing Jiang Ranran's superpower.
However, they were in the base, and he was on the Shen family's territory. If Si Xu really wanted to cause trouble for him, it would depend on whether he had the ability!
After figuring that out, Hu Bing, who was pent up with anger, became even more arrogant. "Professor Si, did you rush here late at night to silence me?"
After his provocation, he waited for the man to say a few harsh words so that he could scold Si Xu back to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, Si Xu just nodded calmly. "Oh, you saw it indeed. In that case..."
In that case? What was he going to do? Did he really dare silence him on the Shen family's territory? He...
A silver beam flashed past. The man blinked, feeling a warm liquid gushing out from his neck.
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it. His hand was stained red.
Ahhhhh! He wanted to scream for help and struggle to escape, but his body was already unable to move.
There were footsteps approaching in the corridor.
Somebody was coming! Hurry! Catch that murderer! Catch...
From the corner of his eye, he saw a white shadow jump out of the window and disappear into the night.
He ran away! That bastard! Since he came openly, he shouldn’t run away! I would definitely tell the Shen family about that woman’s secret. I would definitely make him regret it...
Regret it.
……
As soon as Shen Yang arrived at the door, he caught the strong smell of blood in the air. Shen Yang's expression changed slightly and he pushed the door open.
The man on the bed had lost his breath and was staring at the window with unfocused eyes.
Without waiting for Shen Yang to say anything, Zhong Qian quickly walked to the window and carefully checked the situation outside.
After a long time, he turned back to look at Shen Yang and shook his head gently.
Shen Yang couldn’t be bothered to look at the body on the bed. He turned around and left.
"Burn the body. I'll tell Grandpa the news of his death tomorrow, lest he be unable to bear it."
"Yes."
He was one step too late.
Shen Yang yawned. He walked back to his room with heavy steps, and lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
Who could it be? Si Xu? Or Si Xu’s subordinate?
It was probably Si Xu. If it were someone else, Hu Bing would have resisted a little.
Did Si Xu come here late at night to silence Hu Bing to protect Ranran? It seemed that Ranran carried a secret that couldn’t be known to others.
What could it be? He was curious.
Shen Yang turned over and pulled the quilt over his head.
After a moment of silence, muffled laughter came from under the quilt.
I really looked forward... to the surprise you could bring me, Ranran.
……
Midnight passed. Luo Rui didn't come back, and neither did Xue Weixin.
Zhou Jian huddled in the corner, hugging her knees tightly, unable to sleep.
After waiting for so long, Xue Weixin didn't come back. Youzi probably couldn’t be saved.
Was she going to die? She was going to die.
After finally arriving at the base from Shenmu City, she was going to die before she could unleash her skills. She felt really indignant.
No one knew what she was thinking. On the other side, He Ru was sleeping soundly on the table, and mumbling in her sleep.
It was this woman who caused her to be in this state, yet she could still sleep so soundly!
Zhou Jian could no longer hold her anger in. She stood up and walked to He Ru.
"He Ru." She called the woman's name, "Get up."
He Ru opened her eyes drowsily and asked impatiently, "What? That woman is dead?" Without waiting for Zhou Jian to reply, she giggled and said, "Zhou Jian, you’re doomed."
"Are you laughing at me?" Provoked to the point of losing her rationality by the woman's laughter, Zhou Jian grabbed He Ru’s hair, slammed her against the wall, and screamed, "He Ru, you bitch! I treated you as a friend, defended you, and protected you, yet you treated me as a fool. You made use of me and framed me! You even seduced the guy I like! I shouldn't have cared about you in the first place! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
As a superhuman, Zhou Jian was far stronger than an ordinary person. Moreover, she was prepared. He Ru was naturally no match for her.
Zhou Jian vented all her anger on the woman, forgetting about restraint and fear. The woman in her hands could still struggle at first, but gradually, she stopped moving.
Zhou Jian was still venting her anger when the door to the room was pushed open. Qiaoqiao stood at the door with her hands on her hips. "Have you had enough? Can't you be quiet after all that happened?"
Seeing both their conditions, she widened her eyes and strode forward. She raised her foot and kicked Zhou Jian, whose eyes were red, and roared angrily, "Why did you hit her? Do you want to silence her?!"
After being kicked by Qiaoqiao, Zhou Jian hit the corner of the table. The pain made her mind, which was going crazy because of the smell of blood, gradually calm down.
After she let go, He Ru slid softly along the wall to the ground, motionless.
Her eyes were wide open and she was staring blankly in Zhou Jian's direction.
The blood that crept down from her forehead fell into her eyes, making her pupils blood red.
After looking into those eyes for three seconds, Zhou Jian covered her mouth with both hands and let out a suppressed scream.
Alarmed by her scream, the team members who stayed in the apartment gathered outside the door in twos and threes. When they saw the bloody scene in the room, they did not show any surprise and only talked in hushed voices.
Qiaoqiao squatted down and checked He Ru's breathing. She frowned. "She’s no longer breathing."
"She’s dead?" Someone at the door said nonchalantly, "Shall we throw her body out?"
"We can’t do that." Qiaoqiao looked coldly at the trembling Zhou Jian and sneered. "Captain has ordered for these two women to be imprisoned. Even if they were to die, we have to wait for the captain to come back and deal with them."
She took two steps back in disgust, avoiding the blood spreading on the ground. "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Everyone, go back to your rooms to rest. We have to go on a mission tomorrow!"
Zhou Jian thought, ‘From what they meant, am I going to be in the same room with He Ru's body?’
