Chapter 101 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and after a rain shower, the air had become fresh and chilly.
Perhaps because she had walked for so long, she did not feel cold.
Shi Yang sat on the grass to rest for a while, then stood up again and walked forward with heavy, sore legs.
She walked in one direction for a long time, until the grass and trees in front of her began to thin out.
Parting the last layer of grass, and gazing at the empty, flat cement road, a faint smile finally appeared on Su Mei's face.
However, when she saw two black vans speeding towards her, her smile froze on her face.
She quickly ran in the opposite direction.
My strength had reached its limit, and my legs gave way, causing me to fall.
In the last second before they caught up, her hand reached inside her clothes.
Two men grabbed her arms and pulled her up.
"Yangyang, where are you in such a hurry to go? Why are you running away as soon as you see your older sister?"
Behind him was a soft, gentle female voice.
Shi Yang turned around and saw Shi Yue dressed in a proper dress with a wool shawl draped over her shoulders, walking towards her step by step with her arms crossed.
Looking at the disheveled, panting woman on the ground, Shi Yue felt a surge of pleasure. She grabbed the woman's chin and said, "After running all night, you still ended up in my hands, didn't you?"
"How about it? The process of struggling all night, thinking you've escaped death, only to find out it was all a trap set by the hunter, waiting for you to exhaust your strength and struggle to the point of resignation is really interesting."
Shi Yang looked up: "So you had everything planned from the beginning, deliberately watching me run all night, and then waiting for me at the finish line?"
Shi Yue laughed heartily: "Yes, but I didn't expect that you siblings are so close."
She clapped her hands, and Shi Xing was dragged out of another van, bound hand and foot.
"Shi Yue, even if you have a grudge against me, Shi Xing is still your younger brother, and he has always listened to you."
Shi Yue made no attempt to hide her disgust: "Who said he's my brother? I've endured living under the same roof as the two of you for over twenty years. Today, it's time to settle things between us."
"It's all thanks to your stupid brother who got you out of there. He's really stupid; he believes everything I say. It must have been tough being hated and targeted by your own brother all these years."
Shi Xing was very excited. His mouth was taped shut, and he was stammering, so it was hard to understand what he was saying.
Shi Yang asked, "You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you? Lately, I've felt like I'm being watched. Is it one of your people?"
"Yes, it's a pity you found out too late."
Shi Yue waited to see Shi Yang struggle, break down, and beg for mercy.
But no.
There was nothing there.
Her face remained calm.
"Even at this point, you're still pretending to be righteous."
Shi Yang didn't look at her, but at the faint golden light rising on the horizon, and said calmly, "It is indeed time to put an end to this."
Shi Yue frowned as she looked at her, feeling that something was off.
Just as she was about to speak, the sound of police sirens came from not far away, rising and falling, getting closer and closer until it was deafening.
The men around him said urgently, "Oh no, it's the police."
Shi Yue's expression changed.
Shi Yang smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"
Shi Yue viciously pinched her chin, her sharp nails digging into her flesh: "What did you do?"
Shi Yang frowned in pain.
"How did you call the police if you didn't have a cell phone?"
Shi Yang maintained his smile: "Who said you need a cell phone to call the police?"
"There's something on her!"
Someone realized what was happening and immediately searched for Shi Yang.
A small, flashing locator was found inside her clothes.
Shi Yue didn't believe it. She gritted her teeth: "This was a setup by you and the police?"
Shi Yang smiled and looked at her without saying a word.
"Stop! Don't move!"
At the same time, the police arrived!
Shi Yang watched helplessly as they fled in panic and were then subdued one by one.
Shi Yue shouted from behind, "What are you doing? What are you doing? You've arrested the wrong person! I didn't do anything!"
The police officer stood in front of her, holding out an arrest warrant: "Shi Yue, you are suspected of intentional homicide, intentional assault, and illegal imprisonment. You are hereby arrested in accordance with the law!"
"I didn't do it! I don't know anything! It wasn't me!"
"take away!"
A policewoman wrapped her coat around Shi Yang's shoulders.
Shi Yang hugged his coat tighter: "Thank you, Officer Li."
The policewoman smiled and shook her head: "If anyone should thank you, it's us. If you hadn't been willing to cooperate, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
The policewoman's gaze shifted to the black Maybach parked behind the police car: "However, please have a good talk with your husband about this matter; he almost wrecked our police station."
Shi Yang's heart skipped a beat. She lifted her foot and took a few steps forward, only to run into Shi Xing.
Shi Xing was helped to a stop by the police: "Sister, this was a setup from the very beginning. Why didn't you tell me?"
Shi Yang looked at him indifferently, as if the care and concern he felt for him in the grass were just an illusion.
"I don't trust you."
Shi Xing gritted her teeth: "But I lured those people away for you."
Shi Yang finally looked at him properly, a sneer in her eyes: "So what? What right do you have to question me? You kidnapped me, you dragged me down, why can't I use you to distract those people? I'm telling you without hesitation, I don't regret it at all."
She was never some kind of saint; she was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.
"What if I die?"
"Isn't this your own fault?"
Shi Xing was stunned.
“I’m not a bad person. I wouldn’t deliberately put you in danger unless there was absolutely no other way, but the locator has no signal. But I’m not a saint either. I have to hold out until I get to a place with a signal, so I have to have you distract them.”
Shi Xing felt bad, but he knew that what she said was all true and he couldn't refute it, yet he also felt that it shouldn't be like this.
He said reluctantly, "But I'm your younger brother."
Shi Yang said, "Do you consider me your older sister?"
"I……"
She leaned close to his ear and whispered her final words: "Shi Xing, whether you acknowledge me as your older sister or not, I stopped treating you as my younger brother a long time ago."
After saying that, she didn't waste another second with him and walked resolutely toward the Maybach not far away.
As she approached the car door, she couldn't see anyone inside, and her anxiety grew.
She kept this from Ji Peiheng, knowing that the consequences would be severe.
I took a deep breath and just put my hand on the doorknob.
The car door opened from the inside before she could, and a cold hand grabbed her wrist and pulled hard.
Shi Yang was pulled directly into the car.
Before she could even utter a single word, a torrent of kisses rained down upon her.
The person in front of her seemed to want to tear her apart and devour her whole. As he kissed her forcefully, her lips even felt a distinct pain.
