Chapter 1466 Im So Beautiful

As soon as Lu Zihao heard what Little Jun said, he immediately wanted to plant more bullets on the Mao couple.

How dare they do this to the child?!

His eyes flashed with evil thoughts. He caught himself when he felt the child trembling in his arms. Controlling his bloodthirsty aura, he patted Little Jun's back, doing his best to comfort the child.

He had become a bit more adept in dealing with children after becoming a father himself.

Thankfully, Little Jun was also already used to him and close to him, so the child felt secure in his presence.

"Go to sleep now, Little Jun," Lu Zihao said. "Leave everything to Uncle Zihao. Once you wake up, the police uncles will come pick you up and return you to your parents and our family."

Little Jun peeked at the other masked people and pointed at them. "Anko and anty?" (Who are these uncles and aunties?)

"They're the uncles and aunties who helped Uncle Zihao save you."

"Tenkyu, Anko and Anty!" (Thank you, Uncles and Aunties!)

The Shadow Winds' members all hesitated. Lu Zihao stared at them, directing his commanding aura at his subordinates.

"You're welcome, Little Jun," one of the people who administered first aid to Little Jun was the first one to respond.

The others followed suit. "You're welcome!"

"Hehe." Little Jun giggled despite his pitiful, bruised, and wounded appearance.

Lu Zihao once again patted the child's back, trying to lull Little Jun to sleep. It seemed to be effective and Little Jun soon became drowsy. His eyes closed and his breathing became deeper and more rhythmic.

"Let's go," Lu Zihao commanded.

"Roger, Boss Hao!"

"Roger!"

Lu Zihao rearranged Little Jun into a safer but also more comfortable position in his arms. One of his subordinates strapped the child onto Lu Zihao's torso.

He trusted his abilities the most among the people in Shadow Winds. Little Jun would be the safest with him.

"Big Brother," Iris' voice sounded through his in-ear phones.

"The child is with me now," he replied.

He heard her sigh in relief. Then she said, "Thank you. I'll have Liwei inform Jiang Ying Yue and the others that Little Jun has been rescued."

"Yeah. Send the useless police special force losers to wait at the designated place. I'll deliver the child to them."

"Alright."

No unexpected people hindered them this time.

Nevertheless, Lu Zihao and his subordinates still prepared themselves just in case the unidentified armed men showed up again.

Several hundred miles from the mountains sat a lone villa surrounded by woods. At first glance, it looked deserted but there were actually more than a hundred people patrolling and working inside.

The mysterious woman the Mao couple met earlier at the foot of the mountain was in one of the rooms. She wore another floral dress while getting her nails done. She listened to the latest report from a subordinate.

Her face which had an uncanny resemblance to Iris Long was fully revealed. This time, she wasn't wearing sungla.s.ses, so her eyes which were completely different from Iris Long's flashed with irritation, disgust, and malevolence.

"Tsk. Useless old people! Mao Qiuyue's parents are so stupid. They can't even kill a mere child!"

"Many of our people have been captured by the other side," the subordinate added.

She scoffed. "If they got captured, then it means that they're incompetent."

"The boss will want an explanation as to why we lost so many of our men today."

At the mention of the boss, the woman in a floral dress paled. But she quickly controlled her expression and raised her chin.

"I'll personally explain it to the boss," she said. "Now get out of my sight!"

The expressionless subordinate didn't bother replying to her before leaving.

"Ouch! That hurt!"

She kicked the young woman doing her nails and checked her big toe. It was bleeding. This angered her even more and continued to kick the young woman.

"I'm sorry, Madame! Please, don't hit me anymore! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean it!"

The young woman begged for forgiveness but the woman in a floral dress was without mercy.

She kicked the young woman directly in the head. The young woman's head hit the ground with a loud thud, and she lost consciousness. Even when the young woman fainted, the woman in a floral dress still continued to kick and stomp like a mad woman.

It was only a few minutes later when she finally stopped. And she only stopped because it felt boring when the young woman stopped begging for mercy.

The woman in a floral dress cleared her throat and tried to straighten her clothing, pus.h.i.+ng her perky chest out. Then she strutted away like nothing happened.

She pa.s.sed by a mirror and saw her reflection.

At first glance, people would think that she was Iris Long.

"Beautiful," she murmured while touching her face. "I'm so beautiful."

Then her fingers turned to claws. Her expression turned vicious.

"I hate you," she spat with tremendous hatred.

Her eyes which were the dead giveaway that she wasn't Iris Long narrowed into almost reptilian slits. They were cold and cruel. There was insanity hiding behind them.

Yet when she smiled, she looked so much like Iris Long.

She began singing.

"I'm dead when awake

Alive when asleep

How do I live when there is no you

Except in my dreams at night~"

Unfortunately, like her eyes, her voice was nothing like Iris Long's. She was completely tone-deaf, and yet she sang with gusto, pretending like she was performing in a concert.

Her every movement was calculated as she gestured. Even her expressions were on point.

If the Black Stars saw her right now, they would immediately figure out that she was copying one of Iris Long's most iconic performances at the show MusicFest Tonight.

Those who weren't Black Stars might even mistake her for Iris Long herselfbut only on mute.

Once they heard her ear-grating singing voice, then it would be obvious that she was nothing like Iris Long but a second-rate copycat.

She twirled across the room and then performed Iris Long's iconic curtsy bow. Then she threw her head back and laughed.
