While they were still searching for the missing people, Ming Shu asked Xia Fu, “Have you decided to be my boy toy now?”
“...” Boy toy your head. Who wants to be your boy toy? In your dreams!
I have my pride!
Xia Fu twisted his head without any expression and ignored Ming Shu. Ming Shu clicked her tongue and took out her phone to play. She called the police too.
Someone was murdered!
Of course we need to call the police!
I am a law-abiding vampire and I can get some food from this.
[...] The food is the main purpose, right?
The one who received the news was Head Zhou. He felt it was odd. Wasn’t this where Main Head Xia went? Why did someone call them?
However, he didn’t dare to ignore the call and immediately gathered his men and rushed to the castle.
The people in the castle didn’t know anything about this.
The butler asked everyone to list their alibis. When it was Ming Shu’s turn, Mi Li gave her a sinister smile.
Yuan Xi looked at her worriedly. She wasn’t with her. If she happened to be alone...
“I was with Xia Fu,” Ming Shu blatantly lied.
Xia Fu looked at Ming Shu and nodded his head. His expressionless face made it hard for people to believe that he was lying.
Mi Li: “...”
“Not possible.” A vampire stepped out. “I saw you running toward the crime scene and then the murder happened...”
She whispered her last words but everyone heard it.
“Also, I saw He Jiajia bumped into you at the bonfire banquet. She said something to you.”
“I saw it too.”
“OMG, could the culprit be Wei Xi?”
“She looks so cute yet she’s so vicious. Scary.”
“Capture her. I’m scared...”
There were voices from both the humans and the vampires. The humans were all gathered together and looked at the vampires in fear.
Some of the vampires sat on the fence while others climbed down the fence and started throwing evidence at Ming Shu.
In the face of such accusations, Ming Shu continued smiling. She didn’t seem the least angry. It was as though they were accusing someone else.
Mi Li was delighted, but she kept it to herself. She was worried that someone would see it. She said, “Butler, why don’t we lock up those people who are the most suspicious. That way, we can prevent any incidents from happening.”
As long as she was locked up, Mi Li would have a chance to bring her to that man.
The butler pondered and nodded. “That is the only way.”
“Classmate Yun Ce, are you not planning to speak up for me?” Ming Shu’s gaze fell on Yun Ce. Her clear eyes looked as though they had lights inside and no one could escape from it.
Yun Ce gave a playful smile. “Xia Fu was with you. What can I say?”
“Oh, seems like you don’t want this back?” Ming Shu took out a cellphone and waved it slightly. “I wonder what secrets are inside. Why don’t I show it to everyone now?”
She didn’t manage to see the face of the shadow she was chasing, but she managed to snatch a cellphone.
The things inside surprised her, but they allowed her to know who was the owner.
Yun Ce sprang up. His eyes changed and he gritted his teeth. “I can testify that Wei Xi was with Xia Fu.”
Everyone: “...”
Do you think we’re stupid?
However, no one dared to go against Yun Ce even though his words were not trustworthy. After all, he had the backing of the Yun family.
But everyone was even more convinced that the culprit was Ming Shu.
Yun Ce stared at Ming Shu’s innocent face and evil thoughts formed in his heart.
“Yun Ce, are you sure you want to help her?” Mi Li walked to Yun Ce’s side and whispered, “Don’t do things that you will regret.”
Yun Ce glanced at Mi Li and sneered at her. “What right do you have to question my actions?”
Mi Li clenched her fists. There was coldness in her eyes.
He looked down on her.
One day, she would climb higher than any one of them.
Ming Shu’s innocence was proven forcefully. Mi Li didn’t have a thorough plan and was unable to lock Ming Shu up in the end.
In the end, all the vampires that were suspects were locked up. The humans still asked to be separated from the vampires.
Yun Ce saw that there was no one around Ming Shu and walked toward her.
“Give me my cellphone back.” Yun Ce glared at Ming Shu. There was no longer any smile on his face. His expression was vicious and it made people very uncomfortable.
Ming Shu shook her head. “No.”
Yun Ce looked around and forced Ming Shu into a corner. “Have you seen the things inside?”
“A bit.”
“You are looking for death!”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Yes, I am looking for death. Do you dare to kill me?”
Yun Ce said in a sinister tone, “You think I don’t dare? You are just a has-been. History had made you a sinner. If I kill you, I will not lose anything.”
A sinner in history...
True.
She was a sinner.
All the criminal charges from the war were piled on her. She was a sinner and it was the kind that could never be forgiven.
The kind that would be hated by everyone.
Her only remaining price was her name, yet undisclosed.
If not, she would have been hated by everyone.
But...
What did that have to do with her?
She was not Wei Xi.
“Come, kill me.” Ming Shu picked up a knife from the food cart beside her and stuffed it into Yun Ce’s hand. She smiled and urged him, “Let me see you killing me.”
Yun Ce was stunned as he held the cold knife.
This was not the reaction he predicted.
“You can’t bear to do it? Are you scared? You just commit murder so smoothly, but you’re scared to kill a vampire?” Ming Shu continued to provoke Yun Ce.
Yun Ce’s expression worsened and he neared Ming Shu with the knife. “You knew?”
Ming Shu smiled. “I didn’t know. I’m just testing you.”
Yun Ce’s hand shook. “You...”
How much did she know?
How many things had she seen on the cellphone?
Yun Ce couldn’t guess at all.
“Are you angry?” Ming Shu smiled and gained many Hatred Points. “If you kill me now, you will get even angrier. Do you believe me?”
Yun Ce’s knife was right against Ming Shu’s chest. He just needed to exert a bit of force and it would stab into her chest.
“Let’s negotiate.” Yun Ce put down his knife. “What do you want in exchange for keeping your mouth shut?”
Ming Shu smiled blatantly. “Just kill me. Then, the secret will forever be a secret.”
“...” He had nothing to refute.
What could he do when he met someone who was courting death?
But she wanted him to kill her in front of so many people. Wasn’t that a joke?
“What are you all doing?” Andy’s lively voice sounded beside them. His face appeared and he was full of curiosity. “What are you all discussing secretly? I told you that you must bring me along when you’re bombing the place.”
Yun Ce took the opportunity when Andy wasn’t looking and hid the knife up his sleeve. He resumed his playful aura. “I’m just talking to Wei Xi.”
“He wanted to kill me.” Ming Shu’s words were surprising.
Yun Ce glanced at her with a fierce expression.
Andy was shocked. “Why... why?”
Ming Shu thought for a while. “Maybe it’s because I’m cuter than him?”
Andy heaved a sigh of relief. “This is not funny at all.”
Ming Shu didn’t explain and pushed Yun Ce out of the way with her shoulder. She strode out.
She looked up and noticed Xia Fu standing a few steps away. His calm eyes were staring in her direction. She didn’t know how much he saw or heard.
Yun Ce noticed Xia Fu too and looked at him secretly. He walked away.
