After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 483: He Underestimated Her

The girl’s appearance was truly frightening, as if even her pupils had lost focus.

Mu Chengzhu’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Shi Fei, what’s wrong?"

"I... I don’t feel well."

"Where does it hurt?"

"My stomach hurts so much..." Yun Shifei said as a layer of redness appeared in her eyes. Tears shimmered in her gaze, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

"Stomachache?" Mu Chengzhu thought Yun Shifei might have a stomach problem.

"I think I ate something bad. Mu Chengzhu, I’m begging you, please give me a shred of dignity!" Yun Shifei said, almost breaking down in tears by the end.

Seeing her so fragile, Mu Chengzhu immediately responded, "It’s okay. No matter how you are, I won’t dislike you. I’ll take you to the bathroom now."

Saying this, Mu Chengzhu held Yun Shifei and carried her to the bathroom.

Yun Shifei closed her eyes. Though it wasn’t a public restroom, it was her last chance for escape.

If she missed this, then there might not be another opportunity.

Yun Sisi frowned when she heard Yun Shifei complain about her stomach hurting. Heaven help her—wanting to use the restroom in such a condition at a time like this.

This is precisely why someone like her could never be a goddess.

Truly, it was beyond disgraceful.

Yun Shifei no longer cared what Yun Sisi thought; escaping was critical. She wanted her words to sound as disgusting as possible.

Mu Chengzhu carried Yun Shifei to the bathroom and untied the ropes around her hands and feet, then said to her, "If you feel really unwell, you should go to the hospital."

Yun Shifei heard this and silently lowered her head without responding, looking genuinely mortified.

Mu Chengzhu chuckled. He thought that Yun Shifei seemed more authentic this way.

He didn’t mind at all.

After Mu Chengzhu closed the bathroom door, Yun Shifei let out a sigh of relief.

She looked around the bathroom. Beside her was a small window, and it seemed feasible to jump out through it.

Yun Shifei climbed onto the windowsill and looked down. It was the third floor.

Jumping from this height might cost her her life. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

However, if Mu Chengzhu and the others really took her away, Yun Shifei felt she would truly lose her life then.

This was a chance she had fought tooth and nail to get for herself; she had to seize it. Even if it meant breaking her arms or legs, she should escape.

But...

Yun Shifei’s gaze fell on the window of the adjacent room.

The distance between the hotel windows was not very far. At the moment, the window next door was lit, indicating someone was inside.

What if she climbed across and sought help from the person next door? It seemed like a decent plan.

With that thought in mind, Yun Shifei decisively sprang into action.

She tied a knot on her skirt, securing it around her thigh, then mustered up the courage to climb out of the window.

In the hotel living room.

Yun Sisi lay in bed resting for a while and glanced at Mu Chengzhu, who was sitting nearby.

"You’re really willing to give up everything you have now for Yun Shifei?"

Cheng Lie would undoubtedly want to kill Mu Chengzhu if he found out he had taken Yun Shifei. The Mu Family’s enterprise would stand no chance of survival.

"I understand more than Cheng Lie does," Mu Chengzhu said indifferently.

The implication being that with the memories of his past life, Cheng Lie would have to think twice before trying to harm him.

Yun Sisi shook her head upon hearing this. Deep inside, she still wanted to kill Yun Shifei.

Or perhaps completely destroy everything Yun Shifei had achieved now.

In their previous life, all these things had clearly belonged to her. What right did Yun Shifei have to possess them this lifetime?

Just because they had become prominent figures, and the world no longer revolved around her?

Yun Sisi felt it was utterly unfair. Since she’d been given such a blissful and perfect life before, how could this lifetime treat her so cruelly?

She was unwilling to accept it. She would reclaim everything that had originally belonged to her.

Five minutes passed, yet there was no sound from the bathroom.

Yun Sisi glanced at Mu Chengzhu. "Shouldn’t you check on her? What if she fainted in there?"

The thought made Yun Sisi feel disgusted. Fainting from using the restroom? That would truly be ridiculous.

Mu Chengzhu, hearing this, walked forward and knocked on the bathroom door, asking softly, "Shi Fei, are you okay?"

The bathroom was far too quiet—was the soundproofing that good?

Yet, after half a minute, there was still no reply.

Mu Chengzhu began to grow anxious and said, "If you don’t respond, I’ll go in."

After waiting for a while without a response, Mu Chengzhu kicked the door open.

The lights were glaringly bright, but the bathroom was completely empty, as though Yun Shifei had never been there at all.

In that instant, Mu Chengzhu realized that Yun Shifei had deceived him.

The stomachache, the desperate need for the restroom, even the pitiful, aggrieved look—all of it was just a facade to trick him.

Yun Sisi saw Mu Chengzhu standing motionless at the door and walked over. Upon seeing the empty bathroom, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Mu Chengzhu, Yun Shifei played you like a fool."

The only possible way she could have escaped was through the window in the bathroom.

Yun Shifei had likely calculated everything from the very beginning.

Mu Chengzhu stepped forward and looked out the window. From such a high floor, she had actually dared to jump down? Truly, her courage matched her skill.

He had underestimated her.

But where could she go? Mu Chengzhu made a phone call, instructing nearby personnel to find Yun Shifei’s whereabouts.

He also wanted to search for Yun Shifei.

However, glancing at the drainpipe, he noticed it was mostly covered in dust, with faint traces of handprints gradually fading in a direction leading to...

The adjacent room?

Without hesitation, Mu Chengzhu turned around and went to knock on the door of the neighboring room.

After a while, someone opened the door—a woman dressed provocatively, draped in a bathrobe, gazing at him with sultry eyes. "What can I do for you?"

"Did a girl just come into your room?"

"What girl? Are you talking about me?" The woman batted her eyes at Mu Chengzhu.

Mu Chengzhu frowned, clearly unimpressed by her flirting.

He stepped into the room to check.

The woman tried to stop him but found she couldn’t. She wasn’t strong enough to push him away.

"Hey, what’s your problem? Barging into my room—careful, or I’ll call the police," she warned.

Hearing her mention the police, Mu Chengzhu smirked but said nothing.

Just then, a man’s voice sounded from the bed. "Do you have a death wish? You dare barge into my room?"

Mu Chengzhu glanced at the man lying on the bed—Qin Yumo!

When had he returned to the country?

He never expected to cross paths with Qin Yumo in such a place.

Since it was Qin Yumo, no matter how anxious he felt, Mu Chengzhu had to remain polite.

"Mr. Qin, I’m just here looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for at this late hour?"

Mu Chengzhu considered his words and ultimately refrained from mentioning Yun Shifei’s name.

He knew Qin Yumo liked Yun Shifei, and if he said her name, Qin Yumo would realize he had once leveraged him against Cheng Lie.
