I Conquered the Villain Boss Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Why Are You Afraid?
Let her stay in the same room with a corpse all night?
Zhou Jian panicked and crawled to Qiaoqiao's side. She grabbed the hem of Qiaoqiao’s clothes. "Qiaoqiao, wait, wait! Can you get her outside? I..."
"What?" Qiaoqiao shook off her hand and kicked her away again impatiently. "Weren't you afraid when you killed her? Why are you pretending to be weak when you've already killed her?"
After saying that, Qiaoqiao was about to leave. Knowing that she couldn’t get help from Qiaoiao, Zhou Jian's gaze swept over the group of people watching the commotion at the door and stopped on one person.
"Jiang Yu." With a trembling voice, she stopped her former companion, and begged, "Please help me, please..."
She and He Ru were in such trouble mainly because of Jiang Yu.
If it weren't for him, she and He Ru would still be good sisters now. She wouldn’t have accidentally hurt Youzi in her bid to get back at He Ru, let alone kill He Ru by mistake.
"On account that we came here together, help me, Jiang Yu."
The girl begged softly, but the man just turned away. He turned around and walked away without saying a word, disappearing from her sight.
Zhou Jian suddenly remembered the resentment she felt toward Jiang Ranran a long time ago when Jiang Ranran refused to intercede for Jiang Yu after Si Xu had Jiang Yu’s arm twisted for taking liberties with Jiang Ranran.
Compared with Jiang Yu who refused to plead for her today, she felt she was really pitifully stupid back then.
She had actually fallen in love with such a man before, and even picked on Jiang Ranran time and time again, almost putting her life at stake.
……
What happened in the end? This man would rather sleep with a loose woman like He Ru than spare a look at her, just because she wasn’t as beautiful as He Ru?
"Hehe, hehehe..." The moment Qiaoqiao closed the door, she heard the woman's voice coming from the room. She was crying and laughing, which sounded creepy.
……
Zhou Jian went crazy.
Zhou Jian was forced to stay in the same room with He Ru's body for one night. Before Luo Rui returned to the apartment the next morning and found a way to save her, she discovered that her former friend had gone crazy and no longer recognized anyone.
Xue Weixin returned to the apartment ahead of Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi. When he heard the news about Zhou Jian and He Ru, he didn't even bother to look at them. He directly ordered Qiaoqiao to let Luo Rui handle it.
Qiaoqiao stood guard at the door, waiting for Luo Rui to come back, and immediately told her about Zhou Jian's situation.
"...The captain said that he doesn't want to see that woman again." After a brief talk, Qiaoqiao concluded, "Ruirui, you'd better send that woman away."
"Send her away?" Luo Rui smiled sadly.
Where could she send Zhou Jian to? A crazy woman was worse than an ordinary person. Who would be willing to take her in?
After Qiaoqiao left, Luo Rui stood motionless for a long time at the door of the room where Zhou Jian was locked up.
"Ruirui." Knowing his girlfriend's inner struggle, Xie Chengzhi held her hand and whispered, "Leave it to me."
Luo Rui choked up. "Chengzhi, Zhouzhou is my best friend. We’ve come so far together..."
"I know, I know." Xie Chengzhi held Luo Rui in his arms, stroked her hair and said softly, "She has made a mistake now. Everyone must pay for their mistakes."
Luo Rui buried her cheek in his arms and remained silent.
"Leave it to me. You don't have to have any psychological burden –– Ruirui, don't be sad."
Luo Rui nodded, accepting his suggestion.
……
He Ru's body was thrown outside the city wall, and Zhou Jian was also taken away from the apartment by someone arranged by Xie Chengzhi.
Before leaving the apartment, the girl grabbed Luo Rui's clothes and smiled foolishly at her like a child who saw a loved one whom she could depend on.
Luo Rui's vision gradually blurred. Holding back her tears, she pushed Zhou Jian's hand away.
Zhou Jian was dragged out of the apartment and thrown into the slum area far away from the superhumans’ apartments.
Until the moment Zhou Jian left the apartment and the door was closed, she still refused to give up. She reached out to her former friend, hoping that she would save her.
……
After sleeping until noon, Jiang Ran got up and cooked two dishes using the ingredients taken from Si Xu's space. The two of them had a simple lunch and prepared to go out to visit the base.
While Si Xu was washing up the dishes in the kitchen, Jiang Ran was thinking about her decision last night. She dangled her legs and waited for the man to come out.
Si Xu didn’t know what the girl was planning to do. Si Xu finished washing up the dishes and put them in the cupboard. As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, a gun was pressed against his lower back.
"Don't move." The girl lowered her voice and laughed twice. "Si Xu, your superpower is useless against me. Now, I'm going to turn the tables and be the master. Heh!"
The man didn't turn around. He smiled cryptically. "Turn the tables and be the master?"
"Humph." Jiang Ran was smug. "Don't move. Let me think about it."
Si Xu chuckled. "What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about how to turn the tables." Jiang Ran muttered, "I want you to do the laundry and cook for me during the day and warm my bed at night. If you refuse to, I can punish you~"
"Jiang Ran." Si Xu said seriously, "Are you that confident you can turn the tables?"
"I can nullify your superpower." Jiang Ran's almond-shaped eyes crinkled up into crescents. "You won't have any superpower, but I still have a gun in my hand. You..."
Before she finished speaking, her hand that was holding the gun was held by the man. Before she could understand the man's intention, she felt the world spinning. After a "thud" sounded in her ears, her whole body was thrown to the ground by the man over his shoulder.
Jiang Ran, "..."
"Jiang Ran." He deliberately controlled his strength and put one hand behind her head to prevent the back of her head from coming into close contact with the floor. Si Xu bent his knees and straddled her, looking at her condescendingly. "Do you still think your ability to nullify superpowers is a powerful one? "
She was in pain. Her whole body hurt, especially her back and waist. She felt excruciating pain as if her bones were broken.
Jiang Ran stared blankly at the young man who was so close, and the corners of her mouth turned down uncontrollably. She burst out crying when she saw no hesitation or guilt in the man's eyes.
She was just joking with him, but he actually threw her to the floor with an over-the-shoulder throw that was used against enemies.
Yesterday, he was still coaxing her with those sweet words, saying that as long as he had it, as long as she wanted it, he would give it all to her...
What a big liar!
Over-the-shoulder throw... He threw her over the shoulder, showing no mercy at all. After the throw, he even questioned her...
She tried hard to get close to him, understand him, and told herself over and over again that it was okay as long as she liked him. It didn’t matter whether he liked her or not.
She told herself that over and over again.
However, his over-the-shoulder throw directly shattered her self-comfort.
If he had cared about her a little bit, he wouldn't have thrown her over his shoulder without mercy!
The more she cried, the more she felt aggrieved.
The girl's initial bawling turned into sobbing. Her face was covered in tears and her shoulders were twitching. She looked pitiful no matter how one looked at it.
When Si Xu saw that she had no intention of stopping her tears, he said in a cold voice, "Jiang Ran, stop crying."
Startled by his low tone, Jiang Ran reflexively suppressed her voice. She held her breath and started to hiccup amid her tears.
"Jiang Ran, if you cry further, I’ll kill you." He was still threatening her.
His light brown eyes stared at her gloomily, and the murderous intent within them was fixed on her.
Jiang Ran didn't even dare to hiccup. She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
Si Xu asked her, "Are you afraid?"
Jiang Ran nodded hurriedly.
"You can nullify superpowers, right?" He sneered. "Why are you afraid?"
Why were you afraid? Jiang Ran blinked her teary eyes, but her mind was still blank. For a while, she didn't understand what his question meant.
