Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Nine Deaths and One Life
After Sheng Shaochen was thrown out, with a swift one-handed support on the ground, he didn’t even touch the ground before he stood right back up!
"Bravo!" The men who had been held hostage with him all gave Sheng Shaochen a thumbs up and clapped vigorously!
"Worthy of being the leader of Little Red Team!"
"Long live Leader Sheng!"
The war correspondents instantly perked up, because from the hostages’ conversations, it seemed like they’d caught wind of a great story. They eagerly approached them for interviews, asking, "Why is he Leader Sheng? And what’s this Little Red Team?"
Mr. Baide quickly pulled the reporters aside, "Come, come, come, let me tell you. The events that unfolded during the hostage crisis are something you couldn’t even dream of. A ragtag bunch of us, led by Leader Sheng, killed so many professional gladiators..."
Watching Mr. Baide embellish Sheng Shaochen’s actions as if he were a Heavenly God descending to save humanity, Ye Shu laughed; indeed, many times, it’s not one’s own boasting, but the exaggerations of others that inflate one’s reputation.
The war correspondents were initially incredulous, suspecting it was all nonsense. But as they discovered more and more people talking about the event and how proudly they told the story, boasting about fighting alongside Sheng Shaochen, they couldn’t help but start to respect him profoundly!
While everyone was immersed in the joy of having survived the ordeal, there was one person who silently hid behind an Embassy Consul.
Song Shenming searched for a while before he finally found her and pulled her out, saying, "Why are you skulking around here? Tell me, what exactly happened with my sister’s incident?"
Song Shenming didn’t quite believe General Dasha’s words because so many people had been there together; why was it that only his sister, Song Xiaoxin, was the one to have an incident?
Song Xiaoxin’s assistant A Lai, after being caught, was so frightened and uncertain whether to reveal Ye Shu’s coercion that led Song Xiaoxin to jump into the moat. But then she realized Ye Shu was smiling and watching her!
So she immediately said, "Young Master Shenming, we were really chased by the undercovers from the Desert Bandits. Then everything descended into chaos, and after that, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find Sister Xin; I don’t know if she was kidnapped by the Desert Bandits..."
In her mind, A Lai thought, considering Song Xiaoxin fell from such a height into the turbulent waters of the moat, her chances of survival were slim. Since she could no longer rely on Song Xiaoxin for her future, why bother telling the truth and upsetting Ye Shu?
Though Ye Shu was no villain, she knew Ye Shu had a vengeful nature, always ready to return an eye for an eye. If she told the truth, Ye Shu would never let her off the hook, and if Ye Shu might, Sheng Shaochen certainly wouldn’t leave her any peace.
At that moment, seeing that the reporters had already been pulled aside by Mr. Baide, Sheng Shaochen shook his somewhat disheveled hair, walked up to Ye Shu, and said, "Mrs. Sheng is really harsh on Mr. Sheng. Are you trying to murder your own husband?"
Ye Shu looked up and snorted, "Mr. Sheng, don’t mess things up, alright? When did I become your Mrs. Sheng?"
"Cough, cough!" Sheng Shaochen approached her, whispering in her ear, "Even if you don’t recognize our marriage, you cannot change the fact that we’ve observed the ritual of Duke of Zhou, and the reality of sharing the same bed as husband and wife."
Ye Shu, with a look of disdain, pushed him away, "Stay away, you rogue!"
"Rogue? Me?" Sheng Shaochen was initially taken aback, then followed it up with a sly smile...
