Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The surveillance camera is broken, so it didn’t record anything. If you’re looking for someone to blame, you should blame it on your own bad luck. The heavens… they don’t spare bad women, you just got what you deserved!” The security guard repeated exactly as Lushen had instructed him, his expression uglier than crying. Saying these words, he felt like slapping himself, let alone the victim of the car vandalism.
Lushen, after listening, was still not quite satisfied and corrected, “First, don’t pause in the middle of ‘Heaven doesn’t spare bad women’; second, your expression should be arrogant, your actions cool, preferably with a smug look. Get what 1 mean?”
“Do you not want your job anymore?”
“I get it!”
“Good.” Lushen patted his shoulder, smiling contentedly. “Next, it’s your showtime. Don’t disappoint me, or you know the consequences, heh…”
The security guard shivered, nodding hastily.
Shen Wan, as anticipated, went directly to the building’s security office and headed straight for the surveillance room.
The security guard, who had been anxiously waiting, felt a sudden relief at her arrival. Just say the words, and his job would be safe.
Deep breath, one, two, three…
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Wan’s chilling gaze swept over him. “Shut up.”
Uh!
As soon as their eyes locked, the security guard became rigid, as though he had fallen into an ice pit. All he felt was an intense cold.
Ignoring the petrified guard, Shen Wan strode past the surveillance desk and kicked open the wooden door of the inner room, storming in with a murderous aura.
Soon, a pig-like wail echoed out.
“Shen Wan! You… let go if you dare!”
“I thought it was some hooligan playing a prank, but it turns out to be you, Seventh Lord—” she deliberately elongated the last two words, laden with sarcasm.
“Don’t spout nonsense, what evidence do you have that it was me? Show me! Ow—why are you pulling my hair?! Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean I won’t fight back… Iley! Why are you still pulling?!”
“Fine, should I switch then?”
A louder wail suddenly rang out. The security guard outside, already completely incapacitated, couldn’t help but shiver, his scalp suddenly tightening.
“Damn—switched from pulling to scratching, huh? Stop it! You shrew, don’t think just because you’ve seduced my Sixth Brother you could have his backing. No way—ouch! You’re still scratching? You wicked woman…”
Shen Wan, dragging Lushen by the ear, pulled him out of the room. The security guard, with his mouth agape, couldn’t deny feeling a bit of dark satisfaction.
Evildoers will meet their fate! Serves him right!
Lushen had lived for over two decades, and aside from childhood scoldings from his mother, he had never been treated like this by anyone else. It’s said that in Yuzhou territory, a man being pulled by the ear was seen as being afraid of his wife, and such men are collectively referred to as “ear-pulled husbands.”
Anyway, for the Seventh Lord, who always considered himself ‘the best in the world’, at this moment, both his dignity and pride were stripped away and trampled on the ground. He felt both ashamed and annoyed, angry and resentful.
If Shen Wan were a man, by now he would have punched her to the ground, making her cry for mercy.
But she wasn’t!
Even as reckless as Lushen was, he couldn’t bring himself to hit a woman, especially since he was the one at fault. So, this entire tussle was more about defense than offense on his part.
But Shen Wan was ferociously relentless, more ruthless than the rowdy old women in the quadrangle courtyards, not hesitating in the slightest.
Her pulling was real, yanking out a clump of his hair.
Her scratching was intense and relentless, nearly carving into his neck. Even his tough skin, akin to old cowhide, couldn’t endure such harsh treatment.
So, Lushen was as disheveled and pitiful as one could be.
Mommy… help….
