Chapter 1540: Maybe Someone Wants Me Dead

What was the purpose of going through all that trouble of cutting the oil pipe?

Ning Shu drove back to the villa. Upon entering the house, she saw Xi Mucheng leaning on Shi Sinan’s body. One of his calves was wrapped in gauze.

Xi Mucheng’s hand was on Shi Sinan’s shoulder, and half of his body was pressed against her body.

Shi Sinan held onto Xi Mucheng. Maybe because he was too heavy, she was struggling. Her small face was red from exertion.

This bastard was really able to look for opportunities. There were so many servants in the house, but he had to ask Shi Sinan for help.

Not missing a single opportunity to make physical contact.

Only when Shi Sinan helped Xi Mucheng to the sofa did Ning Shu walk into the living room. She asked with a raised eyebrow, “Why did you suddenly have a car accident?”

Xi Mucheng’s eyes swept over Ning Shu’s face. He shrugged and said, “Who knows? Maybe someone wants me dead.”

Shi Sinan stared at Xi Mucheng and asked, “Who would want Uncle to die?”

“In some people’s eyes, I’m an eyesore that must be removed.” Xi Mucheng’s eyes remained on Ning Shu’s face.

“I checked the garage and found gasoline dripping on the ground where I parked.” Xi Mucheng’s voice was cold.

Shi Sinan was perplexed. Her eyes rolled around with confusion, but she didn’t speak.

Ning Shu had a calm face, and there was no trace of guilt. She smacked her lips and said, “It’s a pity about the car worth tens of millions. It’s all because you usually don’t pay attention to its maintenance.”

Shi Sinan smiled and said, “As long as the people are fine, the car could be bought again. Life is the most important thing.”

Ning Shu: …

She knew that Shi Sinan was a moron, but she never thought she would be so stupid.

Saying such words when she didn’t have a bit of financial ability made Ning Shu feel extraordinarily ridiculous.

For her, what she wanted could be bought with a swipe of a credit card. Shi Sinan wouldn’t scrimp and save for cosmetics and bags like ordinary girls.

Honestly speaking, Shi Sinan’s life wasn’t even worth tens of millions. If someone were to pay to kill her, Shi Sinan’s price would never be high.

She was someone with no value at all.

Ning Shu frowned.

Xi Mucheng just hooked the corner of his mouth and sneered. He glanced at Ning Shu’s expression and finally said, “Sister, you have crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes. You should also pay attention to your maintenance. Be less angry and a little more broad-minded. Else, what if you end up angered to death?”

This body was in its 40s, and to be sarcastic about women like this was to force them to explode.

Ning Shu smiled instead. “I’m not angry. Why should I be? I’m not the one who had an accident.”

Shi Sinan knew that Ning Shu was upset but she didn’t know why. She felt that her mother had changed.

There wasn’t the same warmth towards her as before, and this made Shi Sinan a little angry, so she wouldn’t talk to Ning Shu either.

Plus, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

Ning Shu went upstairs to take a shower. She didn’t feel tired confronting the ruthless Xi Mucheng. However, in the face of Shi Lina’s daughter, she felt powerless from the bottom of her heart.

Ning Shu didn’t even know if it was because she was too realistic, but when she faced such a pure and beautiful, non-pretentious Shi Sinan, she fricking wanted to strangle her.

Children were all debts. Having a daughter like Shi Sinan, Ning Shu felt that Shi Lina must have destroyed the universe in her last life to have to bear such a great sin.

Shi Sinan was not at all like the efficient and decisive Shi Lina. All the romance in her bones was inherited from her father.

Every single one of them seemed to be too aloof to be involved in the matters of mortals; Shi Lina was the only one covered in the stench of copper.

The accident had left only a small scrape on Xi Mucheng, and it put him on guard.

She had to rethink her plan. She had to get rid of Xi Mucheng, but she must not be caught in the act.

Xi Mucheng had underground forces in the dark and power in the company in the open. It truly was hard to deal with him.
