Chapter 68 Mad Dog
Chapter 68 Mad Dog
"System, what's going on?! Didn't you determine that Su Su was dead? What's happening now? Has she been reborn too?!"
Bai Linlin's face was contorted in front of the mirror as she kept questioning the system.
She's the female protagonist of this world and can be reborn, so why can her cowardly, timid, and always hesitant older sister do the same?!
"Beep, beep, beep, the system is detecting."
The system's emotionless male voice spoke coldly.
"The world is abnormal! The world is abnormal!"
A sharp sound rang in Bai Linlin's head, and the irritating sound made Bai Linlin even angrier. She felt a strange unease in her heart.
"Go ahead and check! What's wrong with the world?! Didn't you tell me I'm the female lead of this world? I am the female lead of the world, so why did Jiang Ci still kill me in my past life?! I haven't actively approached him in this life, so why has the world become abnormal again?!"
"The world has collapsed again, and I've only been reborn for a few days!!" Bai Linlin's eyeliner was crooked, and she was somewhat delirious, constantly questioning the system.
In that instant, she seemed to recall the inhumane torture she had endured before her death, and her eyes turned bloodshot.
She suddenly clutched her head and collapsed to the ground, frantically trying to hide behind the vanity cabinet. Her voice was hoarse and shrill as she screamed in a mad, delirious way, "No, don't kill me! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"Host, calm down! Stay calm! The plot will help us eliminate all obstacles in your path, and you will definitely be happy."
The system's mechanical voice was devoid of any emotion, calmly stating a fact.
"Ding, system detection complete. There are no transmigrators in this world, only the host is a reborn individual. There are no other risk factors. Please find the male lead as soon as possible and develop the plot."
Bai Linlin's usually gentle eyes were now filled with madness. She slowly crawled out of the closet, "Su Su didn't reincarnate? She died in her past life, how could she not be dead in this one?! What happened?"
"And what's with asking me to go find Jiang Ci? Do you want him to kill me again?! Let me tell you, don't even think about it! Even if the plot collapses, even if everyone in this world dies, I won't go looking for that mad dog!"
Bai Linlin's eyes were bloodshot. She hated that she had been reborn too late. She had only been reborn after the Jiang family banquet, and by then she had already met that madman.
Fortunately, she had tested Jiang Ci once at the hospital some time ago, and his gaze towards her was very calm, without the madness of a mental breakdown that she had experienced in her previous life.
He was not reborn.
The system always knew that its host was afraid of the male lead. It was also newly appointed and did not know about the host's past life. It could only gradually lure the host to attract the male lead's attention.
Fortunately... he succeeded; the male lead noticed her.
"Host, you're already doing very well. The second male lead (Lu Chuan) is under your control, and many men are also controlled by the plot and infatuated with you. You also have more money than you can spend. Why do you care about your sister's affairs?"
The cold system rarely showed a hint of confusion.
The Sheng Shen storyline is basically irrelevant to the main plot, so why is the host so concerned about it?
Bai Linlin scrambled to her feet, her white dress stained with multicolored stains—all from the broken cosmetics.
She stumbled and fell onto the stool, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashing across her face.
"System, you have no heart, you can't understand. We are clearly sisters, born into the same family, with the same experiences, and even have similar faces, but why? Why was she favored by the Sheng family's heir after entering university? Why did her life go so smoothly, so quickly?"
"Even our father, who never cares about us sisters, is coming back to curry favor with Susu. Why should he?!"
"Yeah, just because she found a good man?"
Bai Linlin's tone was strange, and her smile was mocking.
"My dear sister, why did you just abandon me like this and go live your own good life?"
"System, she's not listening to me! She actually told me this isn't Sheng Shen after I sent her the explicit photos!!"
Bai Linlin's voice was filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't accept this fact at all.
The system's consistently cold voice seemed to carry a hint of speechlessness.
"Host, this is an illness, and it needs treatment. She is an independent individual; why should she be controlled by you?"
Bai Linlin's voice was shrill, "She's been my only family since she was little! Why can someone who's always listened to me just stop listening like that! Why should she have her own thoughts? She should always listen to me!!"
The system remained silent for a while before wisely changing the subject, "Host, the Shen family will be hosting a banquet tomorrow, a pre-wedding feast for the youngest daughter of the Shen family. The Shen family's crown prince will also be attending. Do you want to go?"
Go ahead, go ahead, the male lead and the villainous female supporting character will both be there tomorrow. The plot has been stagnant for a long time.
Bai Linlin casually wiped her face, which was now completely covered by smudged makeup, with her pale hand. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "I'm going, but before I go, I need to find out where my good sister is."
The system can detect everything, except for one thing: it can't detect anything the male protagonist is involved in.
It said coldly, "Sorry, host, there are traces of the male protagonist inside. The system does not have sufficient permissions to detect them."
Bai Linlin froze instantly and didn't lash out again.
……
The plane was about to land.
Shen Xi was somewhat troubled; where would be a better place for Su Su to go?
Sheng Shen doesn't know about this child yet.
Jiang Ci's eyes darted around, and he kindly offered his help.
Do you need some advice?
Shen Xi looked up. "So kind of you?"
"Sure, tell me what you're thinking."
Jiang Ci clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, looking serious.
“We can bring them, mother and child, to the old house. Ms. Hualan really likes gentle and quiet girls, but unfortunately neither Jiang Li nor I have that talent. Besides, her child is also a lovely little guy.”
"Oh, I forgot to mention, Ms. Hualan is very fond of human cubs."
Shen Xi thought for a moment. Xiao Qi'an couldn't be hidden in an ordinary place. It would either be in Yujing Manor or in a place with extremely high security, such as the Jiang family's old house. No one could enter or leave these places at will.
She simply nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell Su Su."
Jiang Ci's eyes crinkled into a smile. What a close call! He almost ended up here.
In fact, Sheng Shen still retained some composure.
When the bodyguards brought Sheng Shen back to Yujing Villa, Sheng Shen was eerily pale, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on his good brother.
His voice was hoarse, "Why? Why are you interfering in my affairs?!"
Jiang Ci personally untied him, then casually pushed him onto the sofa, explaining with a sincere expression.
"It's not entirely your fault, but since you're about to destroy my wife's home, it would be unreasonable for me not to take action."
Sheng Shen's face was gloomy, and his expression was full of vulgar curses.
