Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 503 - 502: The Frightening Blood Red

Chapter 503: Chapter 502: The Frightening Blood Red

Hu Yingying’s thoughts were the same as Hu Yaoyao’s.

One human, one demon, sharing the same body, arguments aside, they could always tell what the other was thinking.

"Stop crying, will you?" Hu Yingying, covering her sorely slapped face, grumbled at Hu Xiaohong, "Can you be nice for once at a time like this? Otherwise, we’re both going to suffer."

The resentment in Hu Yingying’s tone was obvious.

Having hoped that Su Mianmian would suffer, Hu Xiaohong was unhappy, and now she was even being scolded by Hu Yingying.

She immediately pretended to be scared and, closing her eyes, wailed even louder than before.

Dead fox, thinking she can discipline him by pretending to be his sister? Wishful thinking!

Hu Xiaohong’s wailing unsettled Ji Xin as well.

Ji Xin had intended to use a "slap" instead of "drawing blood," so she took the liberty of altering that part of the script. She had thought a single slap would be enough to scare the guests, and after, it would be easier to handle Director Hu.

A cut would leave a scar; a slap wouldn’t.

Who would have thought that the little girl Hu Xiaohong, far from being intimidated, would cry even more vigorously!

What to do now?

Continue hitting her?

Ji Xin couldn’t bring herself to do it.

The "villains" standing behind Hu Xiaohong, being Ji Xin’s school juniors from drama class, noticed their senior pausing without striking and realized she was hesitating.

Having worked together for so many years, they had a natural understanding.

If the lead messed up, the supporting cast had to put in extra effort to cooperate, otherwise, the mistake would be magnified on stage.

So, smack—

Another slap sounded.

Hu Yingying’s face was turned to the side once again, a slap mark on each side, perfectly symmetrical.

"Don’t you sisters understand what our boss said?" the junior spoke harshly, "He already told you to stop making that noise. Since you won’t listen, I’ll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of our boss."

As the words fell, the junior sent Hu Xiaohong’s head lurching to the side with a slap.

Hu Xiaohong, having been hit, changed her wailing "wuu wuu wuu" to a "gah", and couldn’t believe it as she touched her own head.

And the one who hit her was already fawning over his own boss, saying, "Calm down, boss. I know you hate kids the most, but we still need them to get the money. This woman is a superstar with a wealthy background. Let’s have her people bring us the money, demand a higher amount, that way you can cool off."

Ji Xin quickly descended the metaphorical steps, nodding in satisfaction, "Well said, once the ransom arrives, I’ll give you a billion."

The tone made it sound as though a billion was something you could just pick up off the street.

While the two villains were "discussing" how to divide the money, Hu Xiaohong was already glaring in resentment, having lifted her head.

Noticing a little green snake in the grass, Hu Xiaohong’s hand moved into a sword-controlling gesture, preparing to command the little snake to attack the man who had hit her.

But her hand had barely risen when it was caught by Hu Yingying.

Hu Yingying shook her head at Hu Xiaohong, signaling her not to be impulsive.

What good would it do to attack these villains now? It would only put them both in an unfavorable situation. With the villains controlling them and Yang Xian’s group unable to act, the best course would be to muddy the waters and permanently eliminate Su Mianmian.

Hu Yingying herself did not want to kill, but she knew how deeply obsessed Hu Yaoyao was with Su Mianmian.

After all, if Su Mianmian were to die, no one would suspect Hu Yingying was behind it, which would be the best outcome for everyone!

Wasn’t the arrival of these villains just perfect?

As long as everyone was misled into believing Su Mianmian was killed by the villains, she would not be under suspicion.

They were still live-streaming, and the camera from the production crew was still recording; it was not the best moment to act. They had to wait until they were done recording the ransom video, and the villains turned off the big camera before making their move in the chaos.

Hu Xiaohong, who had always looked down on Hu Yingying, glared at her resentfully after being stopped, and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Hu Yingying whispered, "Don’t be scared, little sister. We can run away. Your impulsiveness could get us in trouble..."

While saying that, Hu Yingying secretly let Hu Yaoyao communicate directly with Hu Xiaohong.

Hu Yaoyao, who practiced the Soul Division Technique, had a stronger soul than ordinary people. She knew how to transmit messages and sent one to Hu Xiaohong, sharing the plan she had discussed with Hu Yingying: [Now is not the best time to act. Wait until the camera is turned off, then we make our move and frame these villains. Or maybe these people will take us to the illusion field, where we can activate the illusion technique to kill invisibly. That would be the best.]

Hu Xiaohong was aware of the illusion array set up over there.

After thinking it over, he realized it made sense.

In the ensuing chaos, with no live-stream, that would indeed be the best time to act.

Hu Xiaohong became quiet.

In the crowd, Situ Zha and Yang Xian, who were also trapped, had their eyes fixed on Hu Yingying.

As initiates in that domain, they sensed a fluctuation from Hu Yaoyao’s soul on Hu Yingying and their intuition told them that these two sisters seemed up to no good, as if they were hatching some malicious plan.

But with the villains still standing there, dealing with it was tricky.

In fact, Yang Xian kept wondering if these villains were actually real.

His Heavenly Eye and Su Mianmian’s saw different things and were limited. After scanning with his Heavenly Eye, he did see a frightening blood-red aura on one of the villains.

It was the bloodthirst from that individual that made him uncertain whether these villains were genuine.

Uncertain, he dared not make a move.

There were too many villains, and the only ones on his side capable of taking action were himself, Little White Dragon, Situ Zha, and Charlie. Even if Little White Dragon’s true form was a dragon, there might be moments it couldn’t cover.

Gu Youyou’s life was still in the villains’ hands, and they had guns. A rash move could lead to the death of ordinary people present, which would deeply sadden Su Mianmian!

Yang Xian could only wait for the right opportunity.

As Yang Xian waited for his chance, Bai Bai was also waiting for the right moment.

This Variety Show episode, he didn’t follow Su Mianmian and roamed around every day instead.

The audience knew about their several "pets," and Director Hu had instructed them to occasionally appear on camera so viewers could see them. He hoped they would behave and entertain themselves without disturbing the shoot.

Therefore, Bai Bai knew that Director Hu was conducting a test, and the goal was to probe whether Su Mianmian’s medicine worked.

Knowing it was a test, he could only watch through the lens like Sai Ya and not disrupt the plan.

Moreover, Bai Bai felt he had an even more important task: to expose to the audience that Hu Xiaohong and Hu Yingying were not good people!

This timing was difficult to get right; he had to keep a close eye on the live-streaming camera to find the right moment.

Poor Mian Bao had no idea this was just a test, scared with tears welling up, yet not daring to cry.

Once this was over, as Mianmian’s very best friend, he absolutely had to comfort her properly.
