Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

She cried out, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer..."

But clearly, this wasn't her decision. "Cheng Minghui" reached out, grabbed Chen Manman's wrist, and pulled her up.

A large hand, covered in filth and blood, forcefully pinched her chin, making her look at him.

Chen Manman kept her eyes tightly shut, the stench of blood mixed with dirt filling her nostrils. She wished she could just pass out quickly.

When I wake up, I'll know it was just a dream, a bizarre nightmare.

Suddenly, rustling sounds came from all over the room.

After being greatly frightened, Chen Manman and her concubines couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. What they saw was the most terrifying scene of their lives.

Countless brightly colored snakes crawled in from all directions of the hotel, their tongues flicking as if they had spotted some delicious food, and quickly approached the group.

Unable to bear the fear any longer, Chen Manman used all her strength to break free from "Cheng Minghui's" hand and crashed into the mahogany furniture next to her.

With a thud, Chen Manman closed her eyes and fell to the ground, but the sounds around her constantly reminded her that she hadn't passed out from the impact.

The pain in her head made her realize clearly that this was not a dream, and that she was finished.

"Ahhh!! Please, let me go, Brother Cheng, please let me go... please, sob sob sob sob..."

Chen Manman knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Cheng Minghui.

She didn't know how Cheng Minghui died, but what did it have to do with her? Why was he looking for her?

"Ha, what's the use of begging him? You're the ones who killed him."

A cold voice came, and the several terrified but unable to faint looked at the tall figure that had stopped in front of the snakes and were instantly stunned.

"Akahoshi? Akahoshi, please save us, please, please save me... Waaah..."

Chen Manman, as if seeing a lifeline, propped herself up and tried to crawl over.

The other concubines, for some reason, couldn't make a sound and could only look at Akahoshi with hopeful eyes, hoping he could rescue them.

Not long ago, several of the concubines received a letter in Chi Tengjiang's handwriting, asking to have dinner with them alone.

When the group arrived at the hotel, they learned that Chi Tengjiang had written such letters to all three of them at the same time.

Upon entering the room, they found Cheng Minghui's body. It was too late for them to run.

Before long, even Chen Manman arrived here.

They couldn't count on Chen Manman; they could only hope that Chi Xing could save them.

With a smile, Chi Xing walked towards Chen Manman step by step. Just when Chen Manman thought he was going to help her up, Chi Xing stepped on her head, making her face fall to the ground.

"You dare to harm Zhou Siyu?"

The cold words struck their ears one by one, chilling them to the bone.

"Ugh... I won't do it again, help me... please, I was wrong... sob."

Chen Manman was being trampled on the ground, still sobbing and begging for mercy.

She didn't want to die. She only wanted to climb up to Chixing because she coveted power. If she had known that Chixing was actually a devil, how could she have dared to offend him?

"Save you? Dream on, go to hell."

Chi Xing spoke through gritted teeth, his foot stomping so hard it seemed he wanted to crush Chen Manman into the floor.

But he didn't want Chen Manman to die so easily, so he quickly withdrew his foot.

He walked up to the second concubine and said coldly, "You all deserve to die."

After saying that, Chi Xing disappeared before their eyes, and the snakes that had been too afraid to move before surged forward towards them again.

Amidst Chen Manman's heart-wrenching screams, the fate of the others was not much different from that of Cheng Minghui.

As Akahoshi reached the suite door, a man in a suit awkwardly approached, speaking in a familiar tone:

"Your Highness, is this really the right thing to do?"

250 transformed from a little black cat into Cheng Minghui's driver; the real driver had been buried underground by Chixing's divine power.

Chi Xing nodded and said, "Yes, when we get back to Xicheng, we'll say that Cheng Minghui is dead, and that the Chen family did it."

The Chen family, also known as Chen Manman's family.

Chen Manman is someone from Nancheng who colluded with the Cheng family. I originally planned to deal with them one by one, but now I can stir up trouble first.

Governor Cheng only had one son, and he died here, at the hands of the Chen family. It's quite a story.

The Nancheng Restaurant was owned by the Chen family. After the snakes retreated, Chixing set fire to the furniture inside.

Before long, everyone discovered that a fire had broken out on the fourth floor of the restaurant and rushed to put it out with water.

However, the fire was too large, and after the staff evacuated the guests, they could only watch helplessly as the restaurant was engulfed by the flames.

The news of Governor Cheng's son dying at the South City Hotel was published in the newspaper the next day. Chi Xing looked at the contents of the newspaper and gave 250 a thumbs up for his efficiency.

Cheng Minghui clashed with the Chen family over love, and disregarding the presence of Commander Chi's concubine, he set fire to the restaurant on the spot.

This intriguing topic would tempt anyone who heard the newspaper vendor utter these words to come and buy a newspaper.

Chi Tengjiang heard the news at Fengyue Pavilion. Upon hearing that his concubines had died, and that three of them had died, Chi Tengjiang instantly sobered up.

He abandoned the beauty in his arms and hurriedly returned home.

Panic gripped the Chi Mansion. The housekeeper learned of Zhou Siyu's disappearance and the mysterious deaths of several concubines at the Nancheng Hotel. He was at a loss for what to be shocked about first.

He could only send someone to the South City Hotel to claim the body, while he himself investigated Zhou Siyu's whereabouts at the mansion.

After Chi Tengjiang returned, the steward immediately reported what had happened at the mansion.

"You mean Cheng Minghui came yesterday?"

The butler told him everything he knew.

Chi Tengjiang's face grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, a maid knelt on the ground and revealed that the second concubine, along with the other concubines, had drugged Zhou Siyu, and that Cheng Minghui had taken Zhou Siyu away.

The maidservant hadn't spoken up before because she was afraid the second concubine would have her beaten to death, but now that the second concubine was dead, she wasn't afraid anymore.

Chi Tengjiang thought of his eldest son, who had not yet returned, and a guess formed in his mind.

He slowly sat down on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and then said, "No one is allowed to talk about these things. Just pretend you didn't see anything."

They were all members of the Chi family, so naturally they dared not tell anyone.

That evening, several more corpses were carried out through the back door of the Chi Mansion, and the butler personally ordered them to be taken to the mass grave.

By the moonlight, you could see the faces of the group clearly. These were the people who, along with the second concubine, had helped Cheng Minghui take Zhou Siyu away without the steward's knowledge.

The butler glanced at the corpses of the concubines and scoffed, "These people really think they're the masters of the Chi Mansion."

*

The next day, people from the West City Governor's Office arrived in the South City.

When Commander Chi saw Governor Cheng, he pointed at him and cursed, "You old bastard, it was your son who killed my concubine!"

Governor Cheng was speechless at these words, and some people from the restaurant said they saw Cheng Minghui set the fire.
