Chapter 36 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 036: Conflict “Fellow students, come, have some tea." The seemingly harmless middle-aged man carried a tea tray, personally placing two cups of steaming hot tea in front of Su Xiao Yu and Nan Yin. "Thank you.” Nan Yin remained silent, while Su Xiao Yu responded with a polite remark to lighten the mood. “I just phoned Yi Yi. She's on her way back home. You both go ahead with the tea first.” Xia Jun noticed that Nan Yin and Su Xiao Yu didn't pick up their tea cups, his face stiffened but quickly regained a smile as he added the sentence. "Mr. Xia Jun, is Xia Yi Yi really not at home?” Nan Yin raised her head, squinting at the respectable-looking man in front of her. “Ah... what are you suggesting, Nan Yin? Surely, I couldn’t be accused of lying to you…” Xia Jun finds her scrutinizing gaze uncomfortable and managed a forced smile. “…” Nan Yin didn't respond. At that moment, Xia Bin suddenly came down from the second floor. He didn't say anything, just glanced at the living room before heading toward the door. “Bang!” Nan Yin and Su Xiao Yu simultaneously tensed at the sound of the door closing. Looking up, Nan Yin and Su Xiao Yu saw that the smile on Xia Jun's face had become rather unsettling. ………………………… Setting down the teaware, and also strategically arranging a fruit plate, Xia Jun leisurely ascended to the second floor, where Xia Bin, who had come up earlier, was waiting for him. "Dad, how did it go, is it all set?” In Xia Bin's hand was a self-made handgun. He looked at Xia Jun whose smile gradually faded, and asked. "The tea's been served. Whether they drink it or not is up to them,” Xia Jun gloomily replied. "Dad, the one called Su Xiao Yu seems to be a metahuman.” Xia Bin reminded Xia Jun. "A metahuman? Even a deity will have to bow to me today.” Xia Jun snorted contemptuously, “Do you know how much trouble I went through to get this drug?” Xia Jun himself was a fairly insignificant metahuman, with a not-so-useful power of physical augmentation, and a relatively low level at that. So, his capabilities were just slightly better than an average person. As for his son Xia Bin, he had inherited Xia Jun’s superpowered genes, hence their audacious drug habits, confident in their robust physiques. Ordinary people would think that with physical augmentation abilities, one should train themselves more intensively. However, this father-son pair used it to counteract the side effects of their drug use. “Clang!” The sound of a cup falling to the floor suddenly echoed from downstairs. Xia Bin immediately looked at Xia Jun, a slight smile appearing on his face, "Let's go check.” Descending to the first floor, the father and son saw a male and a female in Roland High's uniform, both unconscious on the couch, with undrunk tea and tea leaves scattered all over the place. "Dad, that's amazing. Your drug works really fast!" For a moment, Xia Bin even forgot about the main issue at hand and gave his father a thumbs up. "Enough of that, quickly move them upstairs!” Seeing that both individuals were unconscious, Xia Jun holstered his gun at his waist. Seeing his foolish son’s full attention on his drugs, he quickly chastised him. After that, he walked towards the unconscious Su Xiao Yu. "Heh heh, dad, next time try giving this drug to that woman down the street…" Xia Bin chuckled grossly as he approached the unconscious Nan Yin. The unconscious girl’s not-so-fitting school uniform perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure due to her body posture. Xia Bin glanced at her casually and felt his mouth go dry. He tightened his belt, but it didn't seem to help. Unable to restrain himself any longer, Xia Bin reached out towards the girl’s chest. If he couldn't devour her here, at least he could get a feel, right? Just as Xia Bin's fingertips were about to touch her smooth skin, a curve emerged on his lips, and he started anticipating the sensation under his fingertips. Yet, out of nowhere, he felt a strange chill sweeping over his body. Reflexively looking up, Xia Bin found the girl, supposed to be unconscious, staring coldly at him with her mesmerizing eyes! Startled, Xia Bin tried to grab the gun resting on the coffee table, but it was too late. His movements appeared too slow in Nan Yin's eyes. The silver-haired girl took advantage of her current posture and landed a punch square on Xia Bin's nose! He wasn't expecting the seemingly frail Nan Yin to pack such a punch. As his nose was filled with excruciating pain, his vision went dark, hot tears involuntarily gushed out, and his hand also reflexively retracted to cover his injured nose. Not pressing her attack, the girl let Xia Bin recover. Once he managed to open his eyes, he found her calmly sitting back down on the couch, casually examining a handgun that still smelled of gun oil. Xia Bin instinctively backed two steps, but with a slight raise of the girl's gun, he obediently halted. Glancing backwards, he realized his father was also facing the barrel of a gun. "Classmate Nan Yin... I had no idea you had such a... lethal weapon." Su Xiao Yu looked at the brand new gun in her hand, her mouth twitching slightly. She had laid out so many protective charms for Nan Yin's safety, only to find out she'd brought two lethal weapons. "We can... talk things out... anything you want, we can give... But don't hurt us..." Finally, Xia Jun broke the silence. It really was remarkable that he could formulate words despite having a gun pointed to his head, while Xia Bin simply trembled in fright, despite not being directly threatened by Nan Yin's gun. "Willing to talk now, Mr. Xia Jun? If we'd drunk your tea, would you be saying the same?" Nan Yin jested while looking at the trembling Xia Jun. Seeing her reaction, Xia Jun knew he'd been caught. So, they had been aware all along. "The tea... It was our fault," sweat was now trickling down Xia Jun's temples, "but judging from your preparedness, you must have something in mind. Why don't we sit down and have a chat?” "You’re correct,” Nan Yin signaled Su Xiao Yu to lower her gun while she kept her cold smile locked on Xia Jun, “We indeed have something in mind.” "Where is Xia Yi Yi?” Upon hearing Nan Yin asking about his adopted daughter, Xia Jun hesitated, his facial expression kept shifting as he studied Nan Yin who was dressed in a Roland High uniform. He chose to remain silent. The matter involving Xia Yi Yi was too complicated and he couldn’t risk revealing it now. Moreover, he didn't believe these seemingly immature students would dare to pull the trigger. “......” Seeing Xia Jun refusing to talk, Nan Yin arched an eyebrow, but decided to disclose what she knew, “Xia Yi Yi has already been sent to Shang family’s young master. Hasn't she?” “How did you.…!” Xia Jun exclaimed in surprise, only to realize he had just given himself away. He quickly lowered his head and stopped talking. Even Su Xiao Yu looked at Nan Yin in curiosity now, but she didn't provide any explanation. She turned her gaze to Xia Bin, who was trembling in fright, before shifting it back to Xia Jun: "Mr. Xia Jun, we need you to tell us where you delivered Xia Yi Yi, be specific, down to the exact house." "I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. If you're here for money, I do have some savings…” Xia Jun was determined to keep quiet but seemed to believe that money could surely convince the two individuals in front of him. Surely, they didn’t want his life. "Heh, so, Mr. Xia Jun, you're really not saying anything?" Nan Yin's eyes now squinted into slits. "Whatever you're talking about, I don't know. My daughter just went out to buy some things." "Heh heh……” Su Xiao Yu, who had always been observant, suddenly noticed that Nan Yin's eyes had become icy cold. At that point, Nan Yin leaned forward and, with lightning speed that was hard for the naked eye to follow, she grabbed the cheap fruit knife from the fruit plate and fiercely stabbed it through Xia Bin's hand pinning it to the wooden coffee table! “Ah, ah, ah, ah!” Along with Xia Bin's pig-like screams and Xia Jun's bloodshot, wide-open eyes, hot blood soaked the edge of the pristine school uniform. “……”
