After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 12

Er wen looked back over the past twenty years of his life and thought of the roast chicken in his rental apartment, of which half a leg remained uneaten. For a moment, grief overcame him; had he known, he wouldn’t have held Da hu back that way, he could have left this world without regrets.

On the Bridge of Helplessness, he even saw Dahu walking toward him with a smile on his face, before Da hu struck him ruthlessly.

Hmm??? Why hit him?

Er wen snapped back to reality and found that all those hoodlums had vanished. Only a few small knives lay on the ground; when he looked down, he could see his own somewhat foolish reflection in the blades.

“Er wen, what were you thinking just now?” Da hu looked at his younger brother, worried that he had been scared witless.

Just a moment ago, those men had approached them fiercely, yet they hadn’t lasted even two moves against Sheng Xia. In that instant, Da hu truly felt like following Sheng Xia for good.

Just as he was about to say something to Er wen, Sheng Xia heard a flurry of urgent footsteps rushing toward them. She leaped onto a wall and discovered a group of people wearing clothes similar to the previous hoodlums, but something felt off.

It’s just taking care of two simpletons; is there really a need for so many people?

“There’s more??” Dahu and Erwen were also a bit dazed. They had only hit one person earlier; was it necessary for so many people to chase them?

“What are you standing there for? Run!” Sheng Xia watched the sudden crowd appearing. Not wanting to reveal too much of her strength, she spun the two big guys around and started running immediately.

Seeing this, Dahu and Erwen hurriedly followed. To their surprise, the more they ran, the more pursuers appeared. If Sheng Xia hadn’t mapped out the layout of these alleys from the start, they would have been cornered sooner or later.

She ran into an unfinished building. Seeing that Dahu and Erwen were about to overshoot, she grabbed each of them with one hand and yanked them back, stuffing them behind a pillar where a pile of bricks was covered with cloth.

“Shut up if you don’t want to die, and stay hidden here.” The people who had just chased them were clearly not from the same group as the first lot. The bulges at their waists were clearly guns.

Sheng Xia knew she had accidentally become embroiled in some sort of conflict. Given the typical traits of an “abused novel heroine,” she would eventually be caught if she kept running like this. She could escape on her own, but these two blockheads might not be so lucky.

Seeing that Sheng Xia intended to lead the pursuers away herself, Da hu and Er wen shook their heads in unison.

Seeing this, Sheng Xia raised her fist directly. “If you dare try to act out some ‘No, no, I can’t leave you alone’ drama with me, I’ll beat you to death right now.”

The two of them instinctively hugged each other and nodded their consent. Da hu spoke with tearful eyes, “Boss, we’ll wait for you.”

With that, they covered themselves with a tattered cloth, hiding thoroughly.

To live a long life, one must never procrastinate.

Seeing that they were being sensible, Sheng Xia felt relieved. The layout of the alleys automatically formed a distribution map in her mind, and she quickly simulated the routes those two groups would take. She hid in a spot ahead of time, then followed the tail of one team and knocked one person unconscious.

Cleanly and efficiently, she stripped him of his jacket. Sheng Xia took off the man’s hat, put it on, made a simple disguise, and after running with them for a bit, she pointed at the other group and shouted in a disguised male voice: “Oh no, they have guns on their waists!”

The spot she chose was exactly at a crossroad in the alley. After shouting, she immediately ducked to the side and scaled a wall into a courtyard with a few nimble movements.

The family living there hadn’t returned for a long time; even if Sheng Xia entered, she wouldn’t be discovered.

The people in the live stream stayed silent for a second before erupting.

Holy crap, what did the streamer do before this? This kind of reaction speed is simply impossible for an ordinary person.

Disguising a male voice could be considered a hobby after all, voice actors are monsters who can mimic anything but this grasp of time and space was truly astonishing.

And why does Sheng Xia bring things like fake beards for a simple walk??

Has no one noticed that the streamer is too familiar with this neighborhood?

Damn, so she wasn’t just wandering around aimlessly before??

Earlier, when Sheng Xia went to the department store, she had circled the alleys several times. Everyone laughed at her for being directionally challenged; who knew she was actually scouting the area?

The viewers in the live stream felt a chill down their spines as they realized that the house Sheng Xia entered had a rental notice posted on the door, meaning she hadn’t just picked a random courtyard.

Some people started analyzing the data and found that the places Sheng Xia had visited recently seemed random, but they actually covered the entire area without omission. This level of observation and memory was jaw-dropping.

It’s terrifying. Is this really something an ordinary teenage girl can do?

If it weren’t for the live stream clearly stating that Sheng Xia was only seventeen when she died, they would have suspected she was some old monster.

I calculated the streamer’s past life; there’s a reason she’s this powerful.

Some ghosts from the cultivation world could calculate what happened in Sheng Xia’s past life and popped in to comment.

What? What is it?

Big shot, come back and tell us!

Seeing the ghost leave after just one comment, all the other ghosts were dying of curiosity, desperately wanting to know Sheng Xia’s experiences. But no matter how many comments they posted, there was no response, leaving them frustrated and banging on their keyboards.

Stop asking and look, the streamer is about to lose control!

Everything had gone smoothly at first. After entering the courtyard, Sheng Xia fired a random shot at the wall near “Scarface.” Events unfolded so quickly that there was no time to react; the others instinctively drew their weapons.

Guns were a sensitive matter. Although gunfights in these old-fashioned novels were as common as eating dinner, they didn’t appear that easily here. The other team, who were only carrying knives, immediately lost their nerve.

Originally, Sheng Xia only needed to wait there for the chaos to end. However, a few men in black suddenly ran toward the courtyard where she was hiding, clearly having discovered her tracks.

Sheng Xia’s ears twitched. Hearing the sound, she immediately changed locations, using her familiarity with the terrain to leave the center of the chaos.

“Eldest Miss, should I have A-Biao follow her?”

The person standing aside looked at the thin figure on the monitor, ready to issue an order.

Sheng Xia’s appearance was completely outside the plan. Although they had intended to stir the waters themselves, her intervention had actually improved the results. However, she was too much of an unknown variable.

Lu Wanxing looked at Sheng Xia’s figure. Her face was obscured by the baseball cap, revealing only a glimpse of her fair chin.

She controlled the drone, trying to capture Sheng Xia’s face, but in the end, she only caught the gesture of the other party raising her hand. Then, the monitor went dark.

Sheng Xia had destroyed the drone with a stone the movement was clean and sharp, and she had successfully hidden her face from exposure.

Seeing the monitor destroyed, Lu Wanxing wasn’t angry. A trace of a smile played on her red lips, as intimate as if she were looking at a lover, yet her tone was freezing cold: “No need. Close the net.”

The person seemed to want to say more, but Lu Wanxing glanced at him, and he sensibly shut his mouth.

“There is no need to consult me regarding the follow-up.”

Saying this, she gave a light cough. A hint of color returned to her exquisite, pale face. Lu Wanxing turned her wheelchair and looked toward Sheng Xia’s direction from the high building.

Despite the distance between them, Sheng Xia felt her heart skip a beat and instinctively looked toward Lu Wanxing’s direction.

She found nothing.

Sheng Xia was still pondering when she suddenly checked her watch it was already past 1:00 PM! She was startled!

Heavens! Grandma is still at home waiting for her to eat!

After waiting so long, will the antagonist just use my kidneys for dinner?

Sheng Xia felt she had never run so fast in her life. Taking shortcuts and jumping over walls, she compressed the journey by half. All along the way, she was thinking of an excuse for why buying soy sauce took over an hour.

When she arrived home, she saw Lu Wanxing at the door. Her gaze swept over, somewhat cold, making Sheng Xia’s heart drum with anxiety.

Oh my, oh my. Is she waiting at the door to execute me on the spot?

Because she was in a hurry, Sheng Xia didn’t notice the faint surprise in Lu Wanxing’s eyes; she only felt that the way the stray hairs fell by Lu Wanxing’s ears was quite beautiful.

Sheng Xia shook her head to clear her dazed mind. Hey, hey, hey! The person who needs protection right now is me!

“I’m sorry, I got delayed by some business when I went out, and since I didn’t know Grandma’s phone number, I couldn’t let you know in advance.” Sometimes being unfamiliar was a good thing; the other person wouldn’t press for details on what she was doing.

But in the next second, Sheng Xia was slapped in the face by reality: “What happened that kept you out so long? Tell me, maybe I can help.”

Lu Wanxing’s eyes held a smile, looking like a caring older sister concerned about a youngster’s troubles.

“It was just simply promoting personal metabolism and contributing a meager amount of strength to the harmonious development of society, while simultaneously allowing two carbon-based organisms to more fully experience the warmth of the sun and the wholesome atmosphere of the current environment.”

Da hu and Er wen = two carbon-based organisms.

Lu Wanxing: “…”

“Speak human.”

Sheng Xia felt that explaining the situation would be troublesome and was afraid of scaring Lu Wanxing. After all, although the early-stage female second lead was temperamental, she hadn’t turned “black” yet. It would be terrifying for a flower in a greenhouse to know there were dark forces in this area.

She decided to bypass Lu Wanxing and seek Grandma’s help, knocking directly on the door: “Grandma, I’m back!”

Lu Wanxing hadn’t expected Sheng Xia to call for the old lady. A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes as her thumb rubbed the armrest of her wheelchair, waiting for the door to open.

“Where did you two go??”

Sheng Xia was prepared to be scolded by Grandma, then she suddenly caught the key word: “You two??”

Where did the “two” come from?

Before Sheng Xia could react, Lu Wanxing pointed at her and said, “She spent the last hour simply promoting personal metabolism and contributing a meager amount of strength to the harmonious development of society, while simultaneously allowing two carbon-based organisms to more fully experience the warmth of the sun and the wholesome atmosphere of the current environment.”

“And so, I went to find her during that process, which is why we’re back so late.”

Seeing Lu Wanxing lie without blinking an eye, Sheng Xia for a moment wasn’t sure if she was actually lying or not.

Lu Wanxing’s tone was indifferent as she repeated Sheng Xia’s nonsense word for word. It felt like she was using Sheng Xia as a shield.

Sheng Xia’s eyes widened; she realized.

You went out to do your own secret business, and now you’re using the excuse of looking for me??

It’s one thing to make an excuse, but you actually acted like nothing happened while blocking me at the door to interrogate me? We are both people who need to be caught and lectured by Grandma!

Lu Wanxing caught the meaning in her shocked expression and gave a shallow smile, taking the initiative: “Next time you’re supposed to eat, don’t go for a sudden run, okay?”

“It wouldn’t be good if you bumped into something and got hurt.”
