My heart tightened rapidly again.
He probably didn't recognize me.
Because after Bai Qing finished my makeup, Fu Jing came in and completely failed to recognize me, even asking who I was.
Shen Jing probably wouldn't recognize me either.
The person trying to take advantage of me clearly feared Shen Jing, hurriedly standing up to push me away.
I walked over to Shen Jing.
He bent down, and I obediently squatted beside him.
Shen Jing lowered his head to light a cigarette, the smoke enveloping his features, making it hard to see him clearly.
He asked, "Mute?"
He used sign language.
I nodded.
Fortunately, Bai Qing had made thorough preparations, forcing me to learn both sign language and lip reading beforehand.
Suddenly, he shoved a gun into my hand and continued signing, "Can you write?"
The cold metal pressed against my skin made me start to tremble, and I nodded shakily.
I could hardly maintain my squat.
Until he finally sat down with a thud, the people in the room burst into laughter.
Shen Jing smiled slightly, "Alright."
"Clean it up."
He stood up, looking down at me with a gaze that made me feel fearful.
"If I hear even a whisper about this outside..."
"One word, and I'll break a finger of yours."
I lowered my head and nodded submissively.
Someone beside us said, "Brother Shen, let us handle this next time. Don't dirty your hands."
Shen Jing leaned against the chair and slowly turned halfway around.
He rested his chin on his hand, looking at the corpse on the ground as if it were trash.
"He asked for it."
The little brother echoed, "Exactly, how dare he use Miss Bai's information to trick for a bounty."
Miss Bai?
Is it Bai Man, or are they talking about me?
Bai Man has been by his side all along, could it be that Shen Jing... really confirmed that I am not dead?
So what does he want from me now?
Do I still have any value to exploit?
The others have already wrapped the body in a carpet and taken it away.
I crouched on the ground, wiping the bloodstains, sticky and foul-smelling, fighting the urge to vomit.
And Shen Jing just sat there in his seat.
I could feel his scrutinizing gaze, like a thorn in my back.
Just when I thought he might see through me, Shen Jing received a phone call.
Then he left the room.
After he went out, I walked into his office's inner room pretending to clean.
Inside, there were surveillance cameras for the office.
If I could access the footage, I would understand everything that happened over the past year.
But the computer was locked.
Fortunately, my versatile heroine Bai Qing can do anything.
Including this computer hacking job.
An invisible earpiece transmitted Bai Qing's voice: "Xiao Man, plug in the USB Drive, and I can infiltrate the computer to copy the footage inside."
Just as I plugged in the USB Drive, I heard the sound of a door opening from outside.
Someone came in.
I switched the computer to black screen mode and used a file to cover the USB Drive.
The door to the inner room was pushed open.
He exclaimed, "What are you doing here?!"
It was that little brother.
I felt very nervous.
Compared to the female lead Bai Qing, I always struggled to remain calm and rational in a crisis.
That's why I ended up being deceived by Shen Jing so badly.
The little brother frowned slightly and was about to speak.
Danto's voice rang out: "Xiao Dao! Where did everyone go?!"
The man called Xiao Dao glanced at my computer and stepped closer.
He whispered, "Crouch down and hide in there!"
I immediately squeezed into the small filing cabinet.
Fortunately, due to my kidney being removed, my body was getting worse day by day, and my weight had dropped to just over eighty pounds.
It wasn't too difficult to fit inside.
Through the gap in the cabinet, I saw Xiao Dao's expression change back to that carefree look.
He held a toothpick in his mouth as he opened the door. "Bro, it's fine. I think I heard some strange noises coming from Brother Shen's room."
Danto was very alert, scanning the room. Just as his hand was about to reach for the cabinet where I was hiding, he scoffed, "What the hell is wrong with me? This cabinet probably can't even fit Brother Shen's dog Pudding."
He was referring to a dog.
Shen Jing had several Great Danes, and Pudding had a slight limp when it was born.
Originally, it was supposed to be killed and thrown away.
I couldn't bear to see that and took it from Shen Jing. After raising it, this dog became fiercer than anyone else.
Besides me and Shen Jing, it would bite anyone else it encountered and usually wore a muzzle.
Shen Jing actually doesn't like it and often says that if one day I'm not home, he will chop up this dog.
I feel like crying a bit.
Pudding is still alive and hasn't been killed, that's great.
But after searching, Danto actually has no intention of leaving.
He even started chatting with Little Knife in this room.
"Seriously, ever since that woman died, why do I feel like Brother Shen is getting crazier?"
Little Knife chuckled awkwardly, "I just arrived this year, so I'm not clear on the specifics. Was that woman Brother Shen's lover?"
Danto sighed deeply, "That woman died, and Brother Shen went crazy, killing a lot of people around him..."
I was confused.
I died, and Shen Jing got what he wanted. Why is he still killing those around him?
Someone knocked on the door, interrupting the conversation.
