【4】A slap in the face

Ye Anqi returned to her bedroom and immediately began packing her valuables.

Early the next morning, she took her handbag and was about to leave the house.

The Ye Family home was large, but after so many years of squandering, it had become an empty shell.

Therefore, there were very few servants, but definitely no bodyguards.

As Ye Anqi reached the doorway, she saw two bodyguards standing guard.

"Where are you going, Miss Ye?" one of the bodyguards stopped her.

Ye Anqi's expression remained indifferent, "I'm going out shopping."

"The young master has ordered that before you leave, neither you nor the second young miss may go out."

"Why?"

"Naturally, because he fears you both might run away. Though you could be found, it would be too much trouble," the bodyguard said without courtesy.

Hearing this left Ye Anqi speechless; Ya Shitian could be so cunning.

"I'm just going out for shopping, I'll be back soon. Rest assured, I have no thoughts of running away."

"Miss, you may go shopping but I have to report to the young master first."

"You need to report such a trivial matter to him?"

"We must report everything to the young master," the bodyguard said loyally.

If she had to report to him, even if she could get out, she wouldn't be able to escape.

Ye Anqi sneered, "There's no need to report to him; I've lost the mood to shop."

She turned around and went back to her bedroom.

Unable to escape, Ye Anqi felt very agitated. If she didn't leave now, by tomorrow she would end up being used as a human shield against bullets.

Ya Shitian had come to C City to conduct an arms trade recently.

He had moved into this place at Ye Wenshan's personal recommendation.

In fact, Ya Shitian's stay here was also targeted at Ye Wenshan's two daughters.

C City had the two renowned beauties, Ye Anqi and Ye Rumeng.

Ya Shitian, such a lover of women, how could he possibly miss out on these two women.

However, in the story, after moving in, he was only bewitched by Ye Rumeng and had no interest in Ye Anqi at all.

But he also didn't let Ye Anqi off; when the time came to leave, he took her along as well.

Who knew that on their way, they would encounter ambushes from adversaries and a fierce gunfight would break out.

To save Ye Rumeng, Ya Shitian ruthlessly pushed Ye Anqi out as a bullet shield, and Ye Anqi, the leading female supporting character, was thus reduced to cannon fodder.

If the plot developed in the same way tomorrow, wouldn't her death be terribly unjust?

Ye Anqi was anxious; she had to figure out a way to dodge this disaster.

"Knock knock knock—" As she was thinking, the door suddenly was knocked upon.

Ye Anqi went to open the door and was surprised to see Ye Rumeng standing outside.

Bandages stuck to Ye Rumeng's forehead, but they did not mar her stunningly pure beauty. Instead, they made her look all the more pitiful and invoked a strong desire to protect her.

Of course, if her expression wasn't filled with such cold fury.

"Is there something you need?" Ye Anqi asked her.

Ye Rumeng did not reply, but instead raised her hand to deliver a slap—

Ye Anqi caught her hand in time, "What are you doing?"

"Ye Anqi, you malicious woman!" Ye Rumeng's face was full of rage. "You've killed me, I won't let you get away with this!"

"..." She knew Ye Rumeng would hate her immensely.

Even if Ye Rumeng escaped the nightmarish events, she would still detest her.

Ye Anqi released her hand, "We're all sisters, is it necessary to have such deep hatred?"

Ye Rumeng sneered, "When you were framing me, why didn't you think of us as sisters?"

"I thought of us as sisters, that's why I saved you at the crucial moment. Otherwise, do you think you could have kept your innocence?"
