The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 399 - Chapter 399 Chapter 399 Turtle in a Jar

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Turtle in a Jar Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Turtle in a Jar “Do you want my life?” A dangerous glint flashed in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, yet her smile grew even more radiant, “Then why do you think, knowing full well that you harbor ill intentions towards me, I still played right into your hands and followed you here?”

The moment these words were spoken, including Bald, the four men were immediately taken aback, their expressions turning vigilant.

However, upon seeing the frail appearance of a young woman like Zhong Niangyao, the Bald Man let down his guard for a moment. He felt the weapon at his waist, looked at Zhong Niangyao, and then said with a smug tone, “No matter what tricks you’re up to, now that you’re here, it won’t be so easy to leave.”

“Boss, why bother talking so much with her!” The driver, who had spoken earlier, revealed a sleazy smile, “Such a beautiful Niuniu, and a rich young lady at that. I’ve never come across such a fine piece before. In any case, she’s going to die, so why not let me have a little fun before that happens.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Another man, with a scar on his face, slapped the back of the driver’s head, “Even if we’re really going to indulge, the boss goes first, not you!”

Bald Man also cast a meaningful look at the driver.

The driver shuddered and quickly asserted righteously, “Of course, the boss gets first dibs. It’s fine if we just sip the broth after the boss has had his fill of meat.”

After hearing the driver’s response, the Bald Man nodded in satisfaction.

Upon hearing their conversation, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

In such a place, her laughter seemed somewhat sinister. Everyone’s gaze was drawn to Zhong Niangyao.

Bald Man let out a lewd smile, “It seems Lady Zhong is eager to enjoy herself! But it’s truly unexpected, Lady Zhong is so open-minded!”

“I’m laughing at how stupid you all are!” Zhong Niangyao’s smile faded, and her aura turned cold and stern, “You discuss matters concerning me right in front of me, without soliciting my opinion? And another thing–”

As she spoke, a bloodthirsty arc formed at the corner of Zhong Niangyao’s mouth, “The one who won’t be leaving here today, is not me, but you.”

As she talked, the temperature in the entire warehouse dropped several degrees in an instant, turning autumn into early winter. Moreover, the chill was not that of the weather, but rather a macabre coldness that crept into their bones.

In that moment, everyone present, except for Zhong Niangyao, shivered as a wave of coldness surged from their feet. One particularly faint-hearted individual couldn’t help but look around.

Fear filled the heart of the Bald Man, and he immediately drew his handgun, pointing it directly at Zhong Niangyao, “I don’t care what gods or ghosts you’re pretending to be, but stop it right now, or I’ll blow you away.”

“You’ll kill me?” Zhong Niangyao asked with a cold laugh, “If you kill me, would you still be able to get the ransom?”

“Even if we kill you, we have ways to get the ransom.”

Thinking Zhong Niangyao was scared, Bald Man calmed down a bit, his tone turning more vicious, “I don’t know what kind of powers you have, but if you don’t want to die, stop all this nonsense right now.”

“Heh, if you want to kill me, just try!” Zhong Niangyao’s body exuded an intimidating chill, “Do you know what happened to the last person who pointed a gun at me?”

Looking at Zhong Niangyao like this, and hearing her threats, the four men couldn’t help but feel a fear that arose from the depths of their souls. For a moment, they even felt an impulse to flee.

However, recalling the two hundred million ransom and seeing the gun in their boss’s hand, they forcibly suppressed the dread in their hearts and remained in place.

“Shut up.”

Bald Man felt a twinge of fear and, in his frightened state, he cocked his gun and fired at Zhong Niangyao.

However, considering that they still needed Zhong Niangyao alive to get the two hundred million, he didn’t aim for any vital parts, just her foot instead.

Even though they could still get the money with Zhong Niangyao dead, it would be better if she were alive; it would make getting the money easier. After getting the money, they could kill this charlatan of a woman.

Moreover, a woman of such peerless beauty was something they had never encountered in their lives, and he didn’t want to waste it.

The other three hadn’t expected the boss to fire. But after they calmed down, it seemed reasonable. This would indeed take the woman down a notch.

Even if this woman truly had some sort of mysterious power, under the threat of firearms, she would be powerless.

As the bullet flew towards her, Zhong Niangyao stood still without moving, not even a flicker of expression crossed her face.

Excitement was nearly bursting from the faces of Bald Man and the others, as they almost saw the scene of Zhong Niangyao getting shot and then being at their mercy.

Yet, what happened next completely turned the situation around and once again suspended their hearts, which had just settled.

When the bullet approached Zhong Niangyao, it was as if it encountered an invisible barrier, unable to advance any further. They could even see the sparks flying between the bullet and the barrier.

Fear gripped the hearts of the other three men surrounding Zhong Niangyao, and they quickly ran back to Bald Man’s side.

The four beheld the scene before them, believing their eyes must be deceiving them.

“How is this possible?” Bald Man’s face lost its composure, panic-stricken, “Such things, they simply cannot happen.”

“You all must be quite daring!” The smile on Zhong Niangyao’s lips appeared exceptionally ominous to the other four, “Just now, I seem to have forgotten to tell you what exactly happened to the last person who pointed a gun at me.”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao standing unharmed behind the halted bullet, Bald Man and his men began to sweat profusely from their foreheads and backs. At this moment, they gradually began to regret bringing Zhong Niangyao here.

They even felt that the real captives weren’t the formidable woman who didn’t flinch at bullets, but they themselves, the four men.
