Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 30

“Uncle Stephen won’t hurt me. He even held me when I was little.”

The girl’s eyes were full of unease, though she was clearly forcing herself to stay composed.

The man in black responded coldly, “Mr. Stephen indeed doesn’t want to harm you, but this is H Country. To ensure that we take you home smoothly, we might have to take some actions that could hurt you if necessary.”

Sheng Nuan pressed her lips together. “I want to speak with Uncle Stephen…”

“Sir is very busy. Miss Norman, please come this way.”

Seeing the prompt from customer service that the people coming for Shang Yue had arrived, Sheng Nuan’s expression gradually shifted.

She said, “What if I refuse to cooperate?”

The man in black stepped forward with a gun. “Then I’m afraid I might have to take some necessary measures…”

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from outside, the sound of a silenced bullet hitting the wall.

The man in the black suit’s expression immediately changed. The young woman in front of him curled her lips into a cold smile and said, “Do you think I’ve been talking to you for so long for no reason? Baron Field’s people have arrived, so you’d better leave now…”

In an instant, the two sides began to exchange fire.

Inside the house, people thought the intruders were trying to prevent them from taking Miss Norman away, while the people outside thought that the house was a trap set by Shang Yue.

Seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos, Sheng Nuan quickly crouched and darted out of the room with a gun in hand, trying to find a chance to escape. She didn’t worry about Shang Yue and swiftly made her way to the second floor, hiding in a corner near the window.

She was waiting for a chance to leave… As long as she could avoid being discovered tonight, those people would surely not dare to show themselves again.

At that moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening nearby.

“Sorry, boss, I didn’t want to betray you… It’s just that the Baron offered too much.”

Sheng Nuan shrank in the shadow behind a potted plant. She was small and the people in front of her didn’t notice her.

Not far from her, Shang Yue was being held at gunpoint by a man who looked like a bodyguard. “I don’t want to harm you. Please come with me.”

Shang Yue’s expression was nonchalant, showing no sign of feeling constrained. “Going with you is a dead end, isn’t it?”

The man said nothing more, only pressing the gun to Shang Yue’s head, forcing him to walk downstairs.

The two of them moved toward the staircase from the nearby area… Sheng Nuan remained motionless, having no intention of coming to his rescue.

Shang Yue helping her was within his capability. If it were her in danger, he wouldn’t save her either. They were people cut from the same cloth.

Just as Sheng Nuan was planning to wait for the man to take Shang Yue downstairs before making her escape from the second floor, customer service suddenly alerted her: The people from Shang Yue have arrived.

So, he had already set up a backup plan… She nearly forgot that, according to the original plot, the Field family had fallen into his hands.

At this moment, Sheng Nuan hesitated.

Leaving like this wouldn’t be a big deal, but if she were to come to the rescue at this moment… then, in return for the favor, could Shang Yue, who had taken over the Field family, possibly help Leslie?

Just then, the man holding Shang Yue fired a shot, hitting Shang Yue in the leg. With a tense yet sinister expression, he said, “Boss, please cooperate. I really don’t want to hurt you.”

Shang Yue fell to the ground, leaning against the wall with a wry smile. “You could just kill me.”

The man’s expression changed several times, his hand holding the gun trembling slightly, but he still didn’t dare to do anything further.

At this moment, Sheng Nuan suddenly stood up and fired from behind the potted plant…

With a loud bang, her gun, which wasn’t silenced, fired a shot into the bodyguard’s arm, causing his gun to fall to the ground.

Shang Yue reacted quickly, picking up the gun and pulling the trigger without even blinking.

The man collapsed to the ground, and Sheng Nuan momentarily froze.

She fired the gun based on the training memories of the original host… This was her first time witnessing a killing up close.

Her face turned pale. Sheng Nuan gritted her teeth, saying nothing as she helped Shang Yue up. “Let’s go quickly.”

She tried not to look at the body nearby, gritting her teeth as she helped Shang Yue to hide upstairs…

Shang Yue looked at her with momentary surprise.

He hadn’t expected Sheng Nuan to act, knowing that her situation was precarious as well.

Dragged upstairs by the young woman, Shang Yue instinctively turned his head and saw her, with a pale face, deliberately avoiding looking at the corpse… She was afraid.

Yet she still stepped forward.

A strange feeling surfaced in Shang Yue’s heart. He originally intended to say something but ultimately remained silent, letting Sheng Nuan support him as they hid in a room.

Sheng Nuan locked the door, opened the window, and cautiously looked downstairs before turning back to Shang Yue. “Can you get down?”

Shang Yue glanced at his leg wound.

In just a short moment, a pool of bl00d had already formed beneath his feet.

Sheng Nuan pursed her lips as she walked over, grabbed a nearby tablecloth, and then quickly used the belt from her bathrobe to tie his leg and stop the bleeding.

Shang Yue watched her silently, his gaze calm.

At that moment, the sound of heavy footsteps reached the second floor… Sheng Nuan sprang to her feet, aiming her gun towards the doorway with both hands, while shielding Shang Yue behind her.

Shang Yue slowly looked up and saw the young woman standing in front of him, her body tensed and her fingers gripping the gun turning white. She was clearly frightened but still resolutely stood in front of him.

With a “ding,” the door lock was shot open from outside… A group of people quickly entered.

Sheng Nuan was aware that these were Shang Yue’s people, but she couldn’t help but be startled by the overwhelming killing intent emanating from them, causing her to instinctively take a step back… The next moment, she bumped into Shang Yue.

Subtly wrapping his arm around the young woman’s slender waist, Shang Yue reached from behind and grabbed her gun, saying, “Don’t be afraid. They’re my people.”

Sheng Nuan suddenly snapped back to reality…

The villa was quickly cleaned up, and a doctor attended to Shang Yue’s gunshot wound. A man in a black suit spoke in a low voice, apologizing.

“I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t know he was a traitor.”

The speaker was tense and sweating profusely, already bracing himself for the possibility of losing half his life if not his life entirely… He knew what kind of person his boss was.

He appeared refined and handsome, but was actually the most ruthless and cruel.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have made it to where he is today, having navigated the treacherous terrain of the Field family.

Just as the bodyguard was filled with despair, he suddenly heard Shang Yue’s calm voice say, “Got it. You can go now.”

The man quickly looked up, eyes filled with disbelief, and then realized that his boss was leaning there, with his gaze fixed on the young woman across the room, wrapped in a bathrobe.

The young woman, though beautiful and delicate, looked pale and extraordinarily fragile, evoking an instinctive urge to protect her.

The bodyguard realized he had just had a stroke of luck and dared not say more. He left with the doctor who had treated the wound and the other bodyguards, making sure to close the door behind him.

Sheng Nuan was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a voice.

“Never killed anyone before?”

She jolted and turned around, frowning as she looked at Shang Yue.

Shang Yue smiled. “It seems Leslie really did protect you well…”

Sheng Nuan said nothing.

She was indeed a bit shaken by the dead person just now… She was just a little expert in domestic disputes and hadn’t magically developed any grand heroine or assassin skills after her transmigration.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the man wouldn’t have died if she hadn’t taken action…

At this moment, Shang Yue spoke again, “Since you’re scared, why did you still save me?”

Sheng Nuan originally wanted to act kind and righteous to make Shang Yue owe her a favor, but at that moment, she suddenly didn’t want to pretend anymore.

After a moment of silence, she sniffled and said directly, “I was thinking that if I saved you, you might be willing to help my father…”

This time, Shang Yue’s smile widened even more. “I thought you would say that you saved me simply because you didn’t want to see me die, and that you just wanted to help.”

Sheng Nuan curled her lips and said, “I’m not a Bodhisattva in charge of saving all sentient beings…”

Before she could finish, she looked up at Shang Yue. “So, will you help me?”

Shang Yue leaned back, raising an eyebrow. “As you can see, I don’t really need your help.”

The implication was that he was not obligated to do anything for her either.

Sheng Nuan’s heart sank.

As expected, she couldn’t trust those novel clichés after all… Someone who reached Shang Yue’s level wouldn’t act out such foolishness.

Well, it might also be because she doesn’t have the female lead’s luck. If she were the female lead and had saved Shang Yue a few times, not only would he help her save others… he might even be willing to die for her.

Novels are deceiving!

Sheng Nuan bit her lip and stood up to leave but heard Shang Yue speak again. “Give me a few days to think about it.”

She turned back abruptly, meeting Shang Yue’s deep gaze. “Helping Leslie isn’t a profitable deal for me right now. I need a good reason.”

Sheng Nuan thought for a moment and tentatively said, “If you can’t help, could you at least not help others deal with him?”

The young woman gazed at her eagerly, her delicate and noble features showing a hint of anxiety…

Shang Yue curved his lips into a smile and said, “Alright.”

Sheng Nuan let out a long sigh of relief, and her eyes brightened a bit.

Shang Yue added, “Also, as long as you remain in the capital city, I can guarantee your safety…”

Sheng Nuan’s heart relaxed a bit more. She pressed her lips together in thanks and then left.

Behind her, Shang Yue’s gaze was exceptionally deep…
