The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me-Chapter 176: Gone

Xiao Jinmeng said as she reached out and hugged Ye Wanwan, rubbing her left cheek against Ye Wanwan's right cheek, much to the discomfort of Shi Shuning and He Junting who were standing nearby.

"Did you see that? You should really keep an eye on your wife! She's always taking advantage of my Wanwan!" He Junting complained.

Shi Shuning pursed his lips. Although he felt uncomfortable too, he said to his wife, "My wife can do whatever she wants. After all, she and Wanwan are sisters, so it's normal for sisters to act like that!"

Ye Jinchen, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up, "Well, if that's the case, Shuning, you and Junting are brothers, so does that mean you two can also get that intimate?"

Shi Shuning and He Junting exchanged a glance, imagining themselves pressing their cheeks together, and they couldn't help shuddering in disgust, their eyes full of disdain for each other.

Xiao Jinmeng and Ye Wanwan had been listening to their conversation all along, and they too imagined that scene, bursting into laughter. It was quite normal for girls to be intimate like that, but it would seem weird for boys.

Soon after, the lights in the arena dimmed, leaving only the orange glow of the fans' lightsticks below.

A spotlight shone on the stage, and amid the screams of fans, Xiao Yuanning, wearing a white feathered coat, flew down from above with Weiya.

The opening was always thrilling, and Xiao Yuanning's stylist had paired his feathered coat with a fringed vest, revealing glimpses of his skin during the energetic dance moves, causing countless fans to scream in excitement.

Of course, this included the die-hard fan Xiao Jinmeng.

"Ahhh, my brave brother flies, his sister forever by his side!"

If it weren't for Shi Shuning restraining her, Xiao Jinmeng would probably have rushed onto the stage.

Since the VIP seats were close to the stage, Xiao Yuanning immediately heard his sister's voice and blew a flirtatious glance in her direction.

However, the fans behind Xiao Jinmeng thought the glance was meant for them, and their screams grew even louder, making Xiao Jinmeng question her life.

Why did they have such powerful voices? Weren't they afraid of damaging their throats?

On stage, Xiao Yuanning performed a Latin hip sway, and Xiao Jinmeng couldn't think anymore, joining in with her own "Ahhh" screams!

"You deserve it, brother!"

In the arena, the atmosphere was electrifying, but in the janitor's break room across from the backstage restrooms, Liu Lian and Jian Hongmei were watching the concert through a live stream.

"Madam, are you really going to do this?" Liu Lian asked.

Jian Hongmei sneered coldly. "What, you're not backing out now, are you? After we've come this far!"

Liu Lian gulped. "No, I just think the risk is a bit high."

Jian Hongmei had long planned to kidnap Xiao Yuanning during his concert, unconcerned by the large crowd.

Because while it was easy to maintain order with a large crowd, causing chaos was even easier.

When the stage was still being set up, Liu Lian and Jian Hongmei had disguised themselves as cleaners and slipped in, planting a few remote-controlled bombs under the stage. Their power wasn't great, but enough to scare people into fleeing in all directions. Even if there were bodyguards, who would risk their lives in the face of a bomb?

All they had to do was press the switch, and amidst the pandemonium, it would be no problem to kidnap Xiao Jinmeng or Xiao Yuanning.

Liu Lian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that this whole plan was unreliable.

"Madam, why don't we think of another way? I just have a feeling that..."

Jian Hongmei lowered her voice and growled, "Liu Lian, shut up! We've already come ninety-nine steps of the way, and now you're telling me to give up at the last step?"

"Fine, if you want to go through with it, then go ahead. But you're the one who brought the bombs, so even if you walk away now, the police investigation will still lead back to you if anything happens."

Liu Lian: I'm the biggest fool, the biggest idiot! Even though I knew there was a cliff ahead, I still chose to run towards it...

During the middle of the concert, Ye Wanwan needed to use the restroom, and since Xiao Yuanning also needed to change his makeup, Xiao Jinmeng took Ye Wanwan straight to the restrooms in the backstage area.

"Wanwan, you go ahead. I'll wait for you out here!"

"Okay, I'll be right out."

In the cleaning staff's break room across from the restrooms, Jian Hongmei heard the noise and peeked through the small window, spotting Xiao Jinmeng facing away from them, looking down at her phone.

If they kidnapped Xiao Jinmeng now, they wouldn't need to detonate the bombs on the stage. After all, their goal was to kidnap Xiao Yongze's child, and a girl like Xiao Jinmeng would be easier to handle.

The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts. Jian Hongmei gave Liu Lian a look, and he nodded, putting on a mask and cap before opening the break room door and stepping out.

The backstage area was quiet. When the door made a noise behind her, Xiao Jinmeng instinctively glanced back and saw a man in a cleaner's uniform. She nodded politely and moved aside to let him pass, then returned to her phone. 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮

This was a blind spot for the security cameras. Seeing no one else around, Liu Lian suddenly covered Xiao Jinmeng's mouth from behind and dragged her into the break room.

Xiao Jinmeng didn't even have time to react, feeling a sharp pain in her cheek as an overwhelming force pulled her away.

Inside the break room, after Liu Lian dragged her in, Jian Hongmei immediately locked the door. Liu Lian tightly covered Xiao Jinmeng's mouth as she widened her eyes and flailed her limbs.

Jian Hongmei snatched Xiao Jinmeng's phone and silenced it, then used zip ties to bind her hands and feet, and taped over her mouth.

Xiao Jinmeng struggled in fear, prompting Jian Hongmei to slap her hard across the face, instantly reddening her pale cheek.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave. If you don't listen, I'll make sure you never see your parents again!"

"You wouldn't want Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi to suffer the pain of losing a daughter again, would you?" Jian Hongmei threatened in a low voice.

Xiao Jinmeng was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know what Jian Hongmei intended to do to her, but she knew she was a fish on the chopping board. To minimize her suffering, she stopped struggling, her eyes brimming with tears.

Outside, when Ye Wanwan emerged from the restroom and didn't see Xiao Jinmeng, she called her phone, but there was no answer. After calling out a few times in the hallway with no response, Ye Wanwan assumed Xiao Jinmeng had gone ahead and returned to the concert, shaking her head as she left.

Xiao Jinmeng choked back tears as Liu Lian, under the threatening gaze of Jian Hongmei, stuffed her into a large black garbage bag and loaded her into a large trash can. The two of them then pushed the cart away from the scene.

Ye Wanwan returned to find that Xiao Jinmeng was not behind her, prompting Shi Shuning to ask in puzzlement, "Where's Xiao Jinmeng?"

Ye Wanwan froze for a moment, glancing at Xiao Jinmeng's empty seat, and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Jinmeng didn't come back?"

Shi Shuning frowned, "Weren't you two together?"

Ye Wanwan grew anxious and hurriedly explained, "Just now, Xiao Jinmeng was waiting for me outside, but when I came out of the restroom, she was gone, and her phone wasn't being answered. I thought she had returned..."
