Chapter 10: 009: KE Fourth Young Master Xie Shang Chapter 10: 009: KE Fourth Young Master Xie Shang Wen Changling thought she was safe and was about to re-fasten her seatbelt when Xie Shang suddenly yanked her, and then she heard a bang, as a bullet nearly grazed her ear. If Xie Shang had reacted just a second slower, she would probably be dead by now.

The robber wasn’t alone; there was another accomplice hiding in the bushes nearby.

“Stay down, don’t get up.”

It was in the language of the Empire, it was Xie Shang’s voice, so reassuring.

Wen Changling didn’t see what happened next; she only heard the sound of Xie Shang opening the car door. Before getting in, Wen Changling noticed there was a gun in the car, a shotgun, likely belonging to the manor’s owner. It was not illegal for Lileitu to possess a shotgun.

Still, Wen Changling couldn’t help herself and stealthily peeked her head out the car window.

She saw Xie Shang proficiently chamber a round, aim at the bushes, and fire without hesitation. By then, one person was already lying on the ground, with blood sprayed far away.

She was stunned.

“Didn’t I tell you not to get up?” Xie Shang stood in front of the SUV, looking at Wen Changling through the front windshield.

Looking directly from Wen Changling’s angle, the cracks in the glass, small to large and randomly spread, just obscured half of Xie Shang’s eye. At this moment, he seemed to be split open, with devastation and beauty colliding, strangely merging within him at two extremes.

Wen Changling was silent for a moment, waiting until her emotions settled, “Do you know how to shoot?”

“Does a shotgun count?”

He hunted and had experience with outdoor hunting grounds.

Wen Changling refuted him, “But they are people.”

“Oh,” Xie Shang replied calmly, not the least bit flustered, “Is there a difference between them and animals?”

There was no difference.

But in the eyes of the law, an animal clad in human skin is recognized as a human life.
