Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 370 Design and Reverse Design (5)_1

"Is everything taken care of?" a somewhat icy voice rang out."Yes, everything is ready," came the reply.

"Good. Take them away," the newcomer ordered coldly. And with that, the three of them were swiftly removed from the police station and vanished into the dark night.

"HUMPH. Cunning girl, so deceitful. Now that you’ve gotten yourself into trouble, do you want my help? Cancel our one-month agreement, and I’ll rescue you right away." An icy voice spoke near Shangguan You’s ear.

None of your damn business; I don’t need your help, Shangguan You thought, her eyes closed. Her lips moved but made no sound. That Second Young Master of the Ye Family is such an idiot, such an unbridled madman. This is what they call ’venturing into the tiger’s den to catch its cubs.’ This time, I’ll take them all out in one go. Let’s see who dares to trouble me or plot against me after this!

"HUMPH. Deceitful, cunning, despicable." The cold voice of the Second Young Master of the Ye Family, hidden in the dark, sounded near her ear again.

Shangguan You closed her eyes, ignoring the voice beside her.

The car stopped in front of a villa, and the three were once again carried inside. "Since you’re awake, open your eyes. There’s no need to keep pretending." A deep voice sounded in her ear. Shangguan You’s heart hammered for a few seconds. She slapped Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan, and they both woke up, looking around in confusion.

Seeing that the two were awake, Shangguan You stood up, elegantly brushed off her clothes, and widened her eyes as she observed the people before her.

Who would have thought? No matter where I go, I always run into acquaintances—people I know all too well.

"HUMPH! Heaven has a path, but you chose not to walk it; Hell has no gate, yet you insist on barging in! You wretched girl, don’t blame us for being impolite today!" The speaker, momentarily surprised to see Shangguan You, immediately burst out laughing. I can’t believe our luck! She walked right into our hands. This wretched girl actually delivered herself to our doorstep!

"Heh, who would have thought? So, this was all your esteemed plan, old man," Shangguan You said sarcastically, looking at Zhuge Ao, who was radiating malice. This is so melodramatic. What on earth does Zhuge Ao want?

"So what if it was my idea? Blame your own bad luck. I wasn’t looking for trouble with you, yet you delivered yourself to my doorstep! HA HA HA!" Zhuge Ao roared with laughter. Then, with a wave of his hand, Huoyi and his team of five immediately surrounded Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan.

"Who are you people? What do you want?" Zhong Mingyang shouted angrily, shielding Shangguan You and Li Lan.

"HUMPH! Just because your minor Qing Gang has established a foothold in B City doesn’t mean you can thrive in Beijing. Cooperate and tell me what I want to know, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, you’ll experience the methods of the Inferno Sect!" Zhuge Ao sneered, then flicked his hands towards Zhong Mingyang.

THUD! Zhong Mingyang’s body was sent flying by Zhuge Ao; he couldn’t even block a single move. His scalpel CLATTERED to the floor. Ever since consuming the Jade Dew Pill from Shangguan You, Zhong Mingyang’s skills had become nearly unmatched, yet today he didn’t even have a chance to fight back.

A sense of defeat washed over Zhong Mingyang. The Young Miss was right. There are many people in this world far more powerful than us. We shouldn’t have become complacent.

"Mingyang!" Li Lan cried out as she, too, was restrained by Huoyi’s team, unable to move a muscle.

"You wretched girl, I’ll let you watch a good show first. I’ll deal with you later," Zhuge Ao sneered. Without the Water Spirit Bead, Shangguan You is no threat at all.

"Uncle Yu, hypnotize them."

"Yes, Sect Leader," Uncle Yu replied respectfully, already standing before Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan. As he watched their initially clear gazes grow increasingly blurred, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.

"Sect Leader, you may question them now."

"Mm," Zhuge Ao nodded, observing the dazed pair before him.

"Speak! How did your pharmacy get those formulas? Where did they come from? And what is your relationship with Elder Meihua?" Zhuge Ao demanded coldly.

Shangguan You stood to the side, her gaze cool as she silently watched the scene unfold. I never expected those formulas to cause such trouble, even making Zhuge Yang and the others suspect Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan.

"We acquired them not long ago from an old man. He gave us the formulas, and we were responsible for production and concocting the medicine."

"Who is this old man?"

"We don’t know. He was always well-disguised whenever he appeared. We paid a hefty sum for the formulas," Zhong Mingyang muttered, his gaze unfocused.

"How did you find this old man?"

Shangguan You smirked inwardly. Watching Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan give such fragmented answers, even someone as shrewd as Zhuge Ao would never guess that I am the one behind them.

The sound of a car pulling up was heard, followed by two figures—one exuding a strong presence, the other a weaker one—entering the villa.

Shen Cheng and Shen Po. Shangguan You’s smile widened. It seems today’s drama involves not only Shen Cheng and Zhuge Ao but other families as well. Even if I hadn’t run into Zhong Mingyang and Li Lan, they would have found a way to target me and bring me here.

But it’s even better that everyone is gathered. I can deal with them all at once.

"Miss Shangguan, what are you doing here?" Shen Cheng asked, feigning great surprise at seeing Shangguan You. Shen Po merely gave her a cold glance before turning his attention to Uncle Yu, listening to the interrogation. Compared to business, they were far more interested in the elixirs and the identity of Elder Meihua.

"I have no idea myself. I clearly remember being taken to the police station. Who knew that when I opened my eyes, I’d be here?" Shangguan You said with a dismissive wave of her hand, feigning confusion.

"Heh." A faint smile touched Shen Cheng’s gentle face as the tall man sat down beside her, observing her delicate features. Though young, she’s already starting to blossom. In time, she’ll be a great beauty. A woman with such a powerful family background is a true princess of high society.

"Miss Shangguan, I believe there must be some misunderstanding here."
