HBWMA -Chapter 80 Mad Scheme

The young man was like a cluster of orchids and jade trees—refined and luminous, like the pale moon in a summer night sky.

In the past, Jiang Huashan had never avoided this boy, partly because she once harbored the desire to reach for the moon.

Shen Lanxi was dressed very casually, but no matter how casual he looked, the moment he appeared, he was destined to become the center of attention.

Shen Zhi glanced at Jiang Huashan and briefly summarized what had just happened.

“Young Master, there was a gun attack just now. I didn’t handle it properly, and Miss Sui’er fell into the forest path.”

Shen Lanxi said, “Get in the car first. We—”

Before he could finish, Jiang Huashan immediately interrupted, “No! Find her first!”

Shen Lanxi’s eyelids moved slightly as he turned to look at her. Jiang Huashan met his gaze without fear and ordered him bluntly.

“Shen Lanxi, save her first!”

The vein at Shen Zhi’s temple twitched. He quickly grabbed Jiang Huashan.

“Miss Jiang, listen to the Young Master. Don’t worry, we won’t abandon Miss Sui’er. But the situation is very dangerous right now—we must leave immediately, or things will get worse.”

Shen Lanxi looked away and ordered the bodyguards, “Get in the car.”

Jiang Huashan suddenly bit down hard on Shen Zhi’s hand, then broke free and ran two meters away. Shen Zhi grimaced in pain and moved to grab her—

Bang!

A bullet pierced the sand right at his feet.

“Ah!” Jiang Huashan flinched and immediately crouched down, covering her head.

“Protect the Young Master!”

Shen Zhi didn’t hesitate and turned to shield Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi remained relatively calm and gave a signal to the bodyguards.

A man understood and pressed the earpiece at his ear.

“Three o’clock direction. Grey Eagle, you have fifteen minutes to finish it.”

After receiving confirmation, he lowered his voice and said, “Young Master, there are too many of them. You must not be in danger—we should leave first.”

Shen Lanxi nodded and glanced at Jiang Huashan, who was trembling with her head down.

“Bring her into the car.”

Jiang Huashan froze, then said angrily, “You’re abandoning her and still want to take me with you?”

The bodyguards ignored her completely and grabbed her like she was a chick.

Jiang Huashan looked back at the increasingly distant mountain path, and an unprecedented fear suddenly surged in her heart.

In her previous life, Shen Lanxi attended the night banquet unscathed—meaning this assassination attempt couldn’t possibly harm him. And just now, she had indeed heard the words “eliminate” in her mind.

So the target of this assassination wasn’t Shen Lanxi.

It was Sui’er.

They couldn’t leave. If they left, Sui’er would definitely die.

The bodyguard opened the car door and pushed her head down, trying to force her inside.

No!

She couldn’t be taken away. She had removed Sui’er’s “label”—she had to bring her back.

Jiang Huashan’s pupils shrank as she gripped both sides of the car door tightly.

This kind of misplaced kindness looked like hopeless stupidity in Shen Lanxi’s eyes.

“Stuff her in,” he said coldly, turning away.

“Stuff her in?!” Jiang Huashan’s messy bangs covered most of her face.

She suddenly sneered.

“Shen Lanxi, are you some rutting male dog? You want to stuff everything you see?”

Shen Lanxi froze mid-step, his cold handsome face briefly caught off guard.

Shen Zhi, who was about to open the car door, felt like he was about to be blown away by a hurricane.

Jiang Huashan looked up at the bodyguard holding her.

“Are you some object your master owns? He tells you to stuff me and you just do it? Go ahead—if you do, you’ll become Shen Lanxi’s little eunuch brother!”

The bodyguard’s eyelid twitched. That… suddenly didn’t feel so easy to “stuff” anymore.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Jiang Huashan darted forward like a mad rabbit toward Shen Lanxi.

The bodyguard quickly reacted and grabbed her neck again.

Jiang Huashan completely lost it, flailing wildly in place.

“Shen Lanxi! Did you get stupid from praying too much? Not an ounce of compassion! No wonder you’re alone—your wife ran off with someone else—and you’re still a 27-year-old virgin!!!”

The insults were vicious and spittle-flying.

Shen Lanxi closed his eyes.

“Make her shut up.”

Shen Zhi snapped back to his senses and quickly restrained Jiang Huashan.

After all, she was someone the old master valued. If anything happened to her here, the one punished would still be them.

“Miss Jiang, this is an emergency—please stop cursing!”

“Waaah, Steward Shen…”

In an instant, Jiang Huashan dropped her manic energy and lunged toward him.

Shen Zhi already had a headache.

“Alright—”

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt something slip from his waist.

“Miss Jiang…”

He looked at her in shock.

Jiang Huashan had snatched his gun and, in one fluid motion, struck his side with it as he bent forward, then swung again toward his jaw.

Her technique wasn’t perfect—it worked only because Shen Zhi had been completely off guard.

“Don’t come any closer.”

Jiang Huashan raised the gun and pointed it at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi remained expressionless, but the bodyguards around him all changed their faces and slowly moved their hands toward their weapons.

“Don’t move!” Shen Zhi quickly stopped them. “She doesn’t even know how to shoot!”

The leader had already recognized that it was a new double-safety pistol. If the safety hadn’t been engaged, they would have already acted.

“Miss Jiang, what exactly are you trying to do?” Shen Zhi said grimly. “If you keep this up, don’t blame us for getting serious.”

Jiang Huashan backed away step by step until she reached the area where Sui’er had fallen.

“Go if you want. But we came together—so we leave together.”

Shen Lanxi was already tired of her foolishness.

His tone turned icy.

“Gag her and bring her back.”

“Don’t come closer!” Jiang Huashan saw them advancing.

If she got caught again, even going crazy wouldn’t help.

So she gritted her teeth and slowly crouched down, covering her head.

Now she’s begging?

Shen Lanxi turned away, unwilling to waste more time.

“Shen Lanxi.”

She raised her head and smiled, then slowly extended her middle finger.

“……”

Shen Lanxi froze, his gaze darkening.

In the next moment, she deliberately tilted her body—and rolled down the forest path.
