Chapter 343: The Woman Who Vanished
"I, Shentu Jie, will be the first to hold Jiang Xinghai accountable!"
"That’s right. His medical skills are incredible, but he doesn’t walk the straight and narrow. Count me in!"
Shentu Jie and Shentu Lin both made their pledges.
Shentu Shan nodded with a smile, a vicious glint in his eyes. "Dealing with Jiang Xinghai isn’t a job for one person—it’s a matter for our entire family. When the time comes, I’ll go with you."
"By the way, where’s Third Brother?" Shentu Lin suddenly remembered.
"He’s still guarding those two hundred-odd models."
Thinking of the two hundred people who were about to have a toxic allergic reaction, Shentu Shan added, "Fourth Brother, it’s six in the evening. Go to Jizhou and wait. I’ll let you know when we decide whether or not to buy the antidote."
"Are you saying we can develop the antidote ourselves?" Shentu Lin asked, his expression doubtful.
"I’ve decided. I’m going to pick ten of them and test our own antidote on them in varying doses. Think of how much money that will save us." Shentu Shan didn’t hide his intentions.
"What if we get more people killed?" Shentu Lin asked worriedly.
"With the Shentu family’s power, we can cover up a few deaths," Shentu Shan said with a cold smirk.
His only concern was that if all two hundred of them died, things would get troublesome.
Shentu Lin shook his head. "Big Brother, there’s really no need for this. We should just buy two hundred more doses. Once this is all over, we’ll make Jiang Xinghai pay us back anyway."
"Just go. Do as I say and wait for my call in Jizhou." Shentu Shan’s mind was made up.
Shentu Lin couldn’t argue, so he just nodded and left.
"Second Brother, you keep the lid on the public outcry that’s about to erupt. I have a bad feeling about this. After all, those two hundred models have been missing for half a day now," Shentu Shan said, forcing himself to remain calm and analytical.
Shentu Jie nodded and departed.
Shentu Shan, for his part, headed toward the bathroom.
In the bathroom’s changing room.
More than two hundred young women, aged eighteen to twenty-six, lay unconscious.
There was a simple reason for this.
It was all the doing of the Shentu family’s third son, Shentu Di.
He’d had no choice.
From the moment he arrived, the women had all started screaming, demanding to be let go.
Fortunately, Shentu Di had brought a gun. He fired three shots and terrified everyone into submission.
Then, he had a doctor procure some ether for him. Using the central air conditioning vents, he knocked out every last woman in the changing room.
It saved him a lot of trouble.
And Shentu Di was a complete debauchee.
He picked out two women with the best figures, dragged them onto a carpeted mat, and began to have his wicked way with them.
Outside the bathroom door.
"Patriarch!"
The two bodyguards guarding the door immediately bowed.
Shentu Shan walked up, frowning. "Are they all inside?"
"Yes, and Third Master is in there too," a bodyguard responded.
"Strange. Why is it so quiet in there?" Shentu Shan asked, looking at the two men guarding the door.
The two bodyguards hesitated.
"Speak!" Shentu Shan sensed something was amiss.
The two bodyguards explained what had happened.
’This is a viable method. It’ll keep them quiet for now.’ Shentu Shan was pleased that Shentu Di had come up with such a solution.
He then gestured for the bodyguards to open the door, deciding to go inside and see for himself.
He had no sooner stepped inside than he was greeted by a vile scene.
"Close the door!"
He locked the door behind him and kicked the drowsy Shentu Di awake. "Third Brother, quite the party you’re having!"
Seeing it was his eldest brother, Shentu Di scratched his head and grinned. "Big Brother, with so many stunning beauties here, you can do whatever you want. It’d be a crime not to indulge."
"That’s enough out of you."
Shentu Shan’s eyes swept over the women sleeping in various poses. They were young, beautiful, and completely at his mercy.
He couldn’t help but gulp.
"Big Brother, those ones over there are top-notch too."
Shentu Di saw the desire in his brother’s eyes. He went and dragged two more women over. "Well, I need to use the restroom. Why don’t you take over for a bit, Big Brother?"
"If that’s the case, then go," Shentu Shan said in a low voice.
Shentu Di was about to leave.
Suddenly, he noticed that one of the women’s faces was contorted and she was foaming at the mouth. ’This is bad,’ he thought.
He glanced over and saw that Shentu Shan hadn’t noticed. Putting on a serious expression, he said, "Big Brother, I’m going to take one of them out to check for the allergic toxin. We don’t want to be caught unprepared."
"Good idea. Go on, and come back in half an hour to take my place," Shentu Shan said, sounding like he could barely contain himself.
Without another word, Shentu Di hoisted the woman—her face contorted and foaming at the mouth—onto his shoulder and left.
Soon, the doctor Shentu Di had called for examined the woman and realized she had simply inhaled too much ether.
"Watch her. I’m going to the restroom," Shentu Di said, rushing off.
He had already forced himself on three women in the bathroom, and his body couldn’t take it anymore. A dragging pain pulsed from his lower abdomen.
「Ten minutes later.」
A weakened Shentu Di returned to the sickbay.
"Where is she? Where’s the woman!"
The bed was empty!
The woman with the contorted face, who had been foaming at the mouth, had vanished into thin air!
