The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 275 - Sudden Incident
Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Sudden Incident
Chapter 275 -275 Sudden Incident
Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao walked down the food street like an ordinary couple, leisurely and at ease, bearing no burden of their wealthy family status, indistinguishable from anyone else.
Just as they were walking forward, they suddenly heard a burst of commotion ahead.
Exchanging glances, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao walked towards the source of the noise and were startled to see a man with a crazed look on his face, holding a knife and taking a little girl of about seven or eight as a hostage.
The little girl was panicking, crying her heart out. However, her cries wouldn’t evoke any sympathy from the criminal.
The girl’s mother was constantly begging, hoping that the man would spare her daughter.
The surrounding people were also greatly distressed. Many joined in to persuade him to stop, but it was clearly in vain, and only served to make the man more agitated.
Some pedestrians had already called the police, but they hadn’t arrived yet.
The scene looked extremely dangerous.
Seeing this unfold before her, Nianyao couldn’t help frowning.
Because she could tell that this wasn’t a typical hostage situation, there was something off about that man.
As Nianyao was feeling conflicted, the police arrived at the scene.
Nianyao turned her head and was surprised to see familiar faces. It was none other than Han Xin, whom she had met before, and Luo Yong was also there.
“Lady Zhong.”
Upon seeing Nianyao, Han Xin also showed a hint of surprise, “What brings you here?”
“I was shopping when I stumbled upon this mess,” Nianyao nodded at Han Xin and then asked curiously, “But Captain Han, why are you here? This kind of case shouldn’t fall under your jurisdiction!”
“I was nearby with Luo Yong, so we came to reinforce,” After glancing at the situation, Han Xin couldn’t help saying, “Lady Zhong, since you’re here, do you know what exactly is going on?”
He didn’t expect Nianyao to help, only to know what had happened. Though aware of Nianyao’s capabilities, they were police matters and it wouldn’t be appropriate to involve her.
Little did he know, Nianyao shook her head and then said, “I’m not sure about this incident, but I can tell you, you won’t be able to resolve it.”
At her words, Han Xin and Luo Yong’s expressions changed drastically, becoming even more serious.
“Lady Zhong, is there something peculiar about this situation?” Han Xin looked at Nianyao with concern.
“That man, he isn’t acting on his own free will,” Nianyao spoke while observing the kidnapper, “He seems to be controlled by something. He’s not afraid of death at the moment. In fact, to him, the concept of death doesn’t even exist. Right now, he’s only focused on creating slaughter; he truly intends to take that little girl’s life. But—”
“But what?” Han Xin quickly asked.
“That man, he hasn’t made his move yet, as if the logic within his body is struggling against that strange force,” Nianyao’s eyes clouded with confusion, “So, it’s hard to say whether he has completely lost his sanity or not.”
Hearing Nianyao’s words, Luo Yong panicked and urgently said, “Then, Lady Zhong, could you please help us? This little girl is only seven or eight years old. Surely you can’t bear to see her life end at such a young age? This should be easy for you. Otherwise, this little girl might really die.”
Before Nianyao could say anything, Lu Yichen’s expression had already turned sour, and an icy aura surrounded him, “Are you morally kidnapping me? Is this how all of you police officers operate? Rescuing hostages is your duty, not that of us ordinary citizens.”
He wasn’t against helping out, but he disliked Luo Yong’s entitled tone, implying that Nianyao must do it, or else she’d be labeled cold-hearted.
Nianyao said nothing, looking at Lu Yichen beside her with a slight smile on her lips, stepping even closer to him.
Only then did Han Xin and Luo Yong notice Lu Yichen by her side.
Although they were unsure of Lu Yichen’s identity, his aura alone was a clear indication that he was no ordinary person.
Moreover, they could see that the relationship between Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao was special. Having witnessed Nianyao’s capabilities, they knew that someone who could stand beside her without being overshadowed must be extraordinary.
Realizing Luo Yong had spoken out of turn, Han Xin quickly pulled him aside and apologized with a sense of regret, “Lady Zhong, I’m very sorry. Luo Yong didn’t mean it like that. He’s just too concerned about the little girl. I apologize on his behalf and hope you can forgive him.”
“However, I would still implore you to intervene and save this young life. It truly shouldn’t end this way.”
Knowing he had spoken wrongly, Luo Yong tried to apologize. But when he met Lu Yichen’s gaze, he was overwhelmed with a suffocating sensation that left him unable to react.

Nianyao raised her hand, glanced at Luo Yong, and then turned back to Han Xin, “Since I’ve come across this situation, I naturally won’t stand idly by. But Captain Han, I must give you a piece of advice.”
“Ensure you manage your people well. I’m not a police officer, just a civilian. So, do not try to impose your responsibilities onto me.”
She knew Luo Yong didn’t have bad intentions, but she still disliked his presumptuous attitude. Her willingness to help was out of kindness, not an obligation.
Upon hearing Nianyao’s words, Han Xin immediately promised and gave Luo Yong a stern look.
Lu Yichen’s gaze coolly shifted away.
It was then that Luo Yong felt as if he had come back to life.
The demeanor of the kidnapper became even more frenzied at that moment, his knife waving wildly, threatening to stab the little girl at any moment.
The girl’s mother was nearly driven mad with worry; she almost rushed forward recklessly but was restrained by the crowd.
With the situation growing dire, Nianyao couldn’t care about anything else and began forming Seals with her hands while continuously reciting spells.
“Go!”
With a fierce shout from Nianyao, a wave of invisible force shot directly towards the man’s forehead.
