Chapter 107: Ruthlessness Will Be My Motto
“Reporting to Your Highness, of course, it can be done.”
Howling Celestial Dog, Tom, answered without hesitation.
“I want it to be untraceable. Meaning, if they investigate, it still triggers.”
Fang Xiaocao thought for a moment and added.
A ruthless idea took root in her mind.
She intended to use this bomb to test Zhi Qi.
If Zhi Qi showed any unusual behavior, she would eliminate her.
“You started it, don’t blame me for finishing it!”
Fang Xiaocao sneered in her heart.
“No problem at all! Piece of cake!”
Howling Celestial Dog, Tom, said confidently.
“Good. Then start your performance!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded in satisfaction.
“As you command!”
Tom nodded and walked towards the red convertible Land Rover.
He crawled under the car and tinkered with it for a while, producing a series of clanking sounds before finally emerging.
“Your Highness, it’s done!”
Tom announced with a smile.
“Nicely done! I’ll add an extra drumstick for you later!”
Fang Xiaocao chuckled.
“Thank you for your reward, Your Highness!”
Tom grinned and even stuck out his tongue, looking just like a dog.
“Can you delete or modify all surveillance footage of the underground parking lot during this period?”
Fang Xiaocao asked another question.
“Of course! These ordinary surveillance systems are no challenge for me.”
Tom answered confidently.
“Good. Erase all traces of our presence in the underground parking lot. Modify the footage so that it only shows me driving the Wuling Hongguang into the parking lot and then heading upstairs.”
Fang Xiaocao instructed with narrowed eyes.
“No problem! Leave it to me!”
Tom agreed enthusiastically.
“When you’re done, come find me in this room.”
Fang Xiaocao gave him her room number and turned towards the elevator.
“Understood, Your Highness! I’ll remember it.”
Tom called after her.
“Don’t forget—every surveillance camera I pass from now on, whether in the elevator or the hallways, must be altered. If they can’t be modified, destroy them completely.”
Standing in front of the elevator, Fang Xiaocao added.
“Understood, Your Highness!”
Tom responded with excitement.
This was a task entrusted to him by his princess, and as a loyal dog, he would execute it flawlessly, striving to leave a good impression on her.
“I hope you get the job done… Otherwise…”
“Useless things are better off being sold for cash…”
Inside the elevator, Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.
She gave these orders to erase all traces of herself.
Once the bomb exploded, the police would find nothing.
Even if someone suspected her, there would be no evidence.
She took the elevator to the fifth floor.
As soon as she stepped out, the lights in the hallway and elevator flickered.
Fang Xiaocao paused, instinctively glancing at the surveillance camera in the corner.
The infrared camera’s red light flashed twice before suddenly going out.
Seeing this, she raised an eyebrow.
She knew this was Tom’s handiwork—he had launched an attack on the hotel’s surveillance system.
“Not bad, still useful!”
Fang Xiaocao nodded in satisfaction.
She swiped her key card and entered the room.
Inserting the card into the power slot, she stretched lazily and threw herself onto the bed.
“I’ll lie down for a while to buy Tom some time.”
She muttered in a lazy tone.
Then, she took out her phone and unlocked it.
Goodness, a ton of messages on WeChat.
She skimmed through them—all from Zhi Qi.
Earlier, while talking with Tom in the underground parking lot, she had forgotten to turn on message notifications.
That’s why she hadn’t noticed Zhi Qi’s frantic messages.
She clicked on Zhi Qi’s chat.
Most of the messages asked where she was and why she hadn’t come down yet.
“So impatient, huh?”
Fang Xiaocao smirked.
She thought for a moment and replied:
“I just took a shower and accidentally twisted my ankle.”
“I don’t think I can go out today.”
After typing the message, she narrowed her eyes and hit send.
From this moment on, the game was set.
She had given herself a reason not to drive.
If Zhi Qi insisted on making her come down, she could test him by suggesting he drive her car.
If Zhi Qi hesitated, refusing to drive, it would prove he knew the car was dangerous.
At that point, Fang Xiaocao would get in the car, move it out of the parking spot, then feign foot pain, claiming she couldn’t drive and insisting that Zhi Qi take the wheel.
This way, she would not only clear herself of suspicion but also mislead Zhi Qi into thinking there was no bomb.
If he let his guard down and started the car…
She would signal Tom to detonate it.
A single explosion—problem solved.
Fang Xiaocao would never allow a dangerous person to linger around her.
After experiencing the bloody battle in the mountains and nearly being schemed against multiple times, her mindset had shifted.
The naïve, soft-hearted Fang Xiaocao had died in those betrayals.
Now, she was Niugulu Xiaocao.
Ruthlessness would be her new motto.
Any threat to her life must be eliminated at the root.
[Zhi Qi: Twisted your ankle?]
[Zhi Qi: How did you get hurt? Can you still come downstairs?]
Seeing Zhi Qi’s messages, Fang Xiaocao sneered.
“Still not giving up, huh?”
“You’re even asking if I can come down?”
“The old Zhi Qi would have rushed upstairs to check on me by now.”
She muttered to herself.
“It hurts a lot, but I can still move a little.”
She replied.
[Zhi Qi: Then come down. We’ll drive to the hospital.]
Fang Xiaocao blinked at her response.
“Six.”
Zhi Qi’s excuse for making her drive was brilliant.
She said “we” would drive to the hospital instead of offering to drive her herself.
Now, she was certain—Zhi Qi had changed.
He was no longer the Zhi Qi who once cared for her.
The old Zhi Qi would have been worried sick about her.
But the current Zhi Qi was scheming to kill her.
“Alright, I’ll come down now.”
Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and sent the message.
She put away her phone and stared into the mirror, a cold smile creeping onto her lips.
“Fang Xiaocao, you can’t be softhearted anymore.”
Staring at her reflection, she spoke in a low voice.
A glance at the time—ten minutes had passed.
Tom should be finishing up soon.
