Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 730 - 722: I Want You, I Want You, Just Want You (Eight)
Yiqing mentioned that when Ji Mingyue was talking to him, bullets suddenly flew towards her, hitting her right and left foot in quick succession. She couldn’t react in time.
By the time she fell down after being shot, she had not seen the shooter and had passed out from the pain, waking up later in the hospital.
That one time she accidentally entered, she saw Charles personally shooting. The man who had trespassed suffered even more than Ming Yue, as all his limbs were crippled. Every time she thought back to that scene, her hair stood on end.
That was, so far, the most demonic side of Charles she had witnessed.
Sometimes, curiosity really could kill a cat. She knew very well that trespassing would have severe consequences, but she still couldn’t resist stepping closer towards the forbidden gate.
The closer she got, the more eerie it felt, inexplicably, perhaps out of fear.
Finally, Anning entered the forbidden gate; last time, she had only stood at the entrance.
She stopped and looked around carefully like a radar, observing her surroundings. She did not see anyone; there were bamboo trees everywhere, giving her the feeling of being in a bamboo forest.
Because it grew too densely, the interior was gloomy and dark, permeated with a damp smell.
Anning’s steps were cautious as she explored further inside.
A narrow concrete path led further into the depths, and she then realized that Charles’s property was far bigger than she had anticipated.
She held her breath and walked in, her footsteps felt like they were on her heart, with each step, her heartbeat quickened, feeling almost like it would burst out.
The deeper and deeper she went, the path seemed endless.
Suddenly, she realized something was amiss and sharply turned back, unable to discern her original direction. She couldn’t see the gate to the forbidden area anymore.
She was instantly terrified. Further ahead, the path twisted and turned. Had she... got lost?
Her mind was a mess for a moment, but Anning tried to calm herself down.
Keep calm, she had to keep calm, else she would be even less likely to find her way.
She stood there, sweeping her gaze around several times, only to find paths everywhere.
Damn, it was a labyrinth! When she first entered, she had only seen one winding path.
Anning frowned and was frustrated for a while, then decided to keep going. She thought that she definitely wouldn’t be unable to get out. At worst, she would just wander around longer and could expect the worst plan to unfold: being discovered by the guards here, shot and crippled, as long as she still had her life.
Thinking this, she boldly moved forward.
No longer feeling the initial unease, she walked deeper into the bamboo forest with a curious heart.
Finally, the winding path came to an end, as did the bamboo forest, but what was that large, white concrete structure ahead?
It looked grand, almost Roman in style.
That entire area, blooming with colorful flowers, gave Anning the feeling of having stepped into a hidden utopia described in martial arts novels.
What deep secrets was Charles hiding, and why were his whereabouts so peculiar?
So peculiar that it was horrifying.
Stepping out of the bamboo forest, Anning approached the grand building, which resembled a house yet was not as tall, and she couldn’t see a door.
But its design was really beautiful and unique.
Even more magical, as she approached, she saw several butterflies resting on the petals, butterflies flying out in this season.
