She slowly raised her head, and what came into view was a dark, round object.

This is……

Zhou Chunhua's pupils constricted sharply. This was... a gun!

"Hehehe..." A woman's laughter quietly rang out along with the icy wind.

The eerie laughter, like a ghost haunting the night, sent chills down her spine.

As the gaze slowly shifted, a charming woman with a fur collar covering her hand appeared, covering her lips and chuckling softly.

And that ghostly, chilling laughter came from the woman's alluring red lips.

She tried hard to recall the face, but was certain she had never seen it before.

The woman's laughter suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes, devoid of any emotion like those of a dead person, stared straight at her.

For a fleeting moment, she even doubted whether the woman in front of her was human.

Because in her entire life, she had never seen such lifeless pupils.

Just as she was engrossed in watching, the woman parted her red lips slightly: "It's all thanks to watching your live stream, otherwise, someone as ordinary as you, who would be hard to spot in a crowd, I really might not have recognized you."

"Who are you?" Although she vaguely knew the answer in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it with her own voice.

The woman gently adjusted the mink collar that had slipped down to her arm, her red, brick-inlaid nail polish making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

"Who am I? Don't you know who I am? You couldn't possibly be as stupid as those idiots to set him up. You tell me... isn't that right?"

"Wang Lin's wife, She Yalan?" she uttered her guess.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman chuckled again.

And that laughter was her answer.

At that moment, the gunfire behind them abruptly stopped.

Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but turn her head and glance behind her.

Officer Kobayashi and the others, could they be...?

"You still have time to worry about them? Shouldn't you be thinking about what to do about yourself?"

"What do you want? Let them go!" Zhou Chunhua said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xue died, Chen Deming died, Huang Tao died, and she didn't want any more people to lose their lives because of her.

Because behind each of them is a family, with children, parents, and relatives.

Their departure is not the end of their lives, but the beginning of a family's grief.

That's enough! That's really enough!

"Kill me, let them go." Zhou Chunhua finally couldn't hold back the tear that fell from the corner of her eye.

I'm sorry, Nini, Mommy will never be able to watch you grow up.

At this moment, she was very glad that she had entrusted Nini to Gu Yao when she left Qing'an.

In her heart, even Nini's biological father, Liao Nanxing, did not make her feel as at ease as Gu Yao.

She thought that Gu Yao would love Nini just like she did, and protect Nini as she grew up healthy.

So she wanted to end it all, and didn't want any more people to lose their lives because of it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's amazing." She Yalan withdrew her hand from the gun and slapped it repeatedly.

Even though there was no emotion in his eyes, it didn't diminish his mockery of her in the slightest.

Zhou Chunhua's heart skipped a beat.

Because it seemed that She Yalan had no intention of letting Officer Lin and his group go.

"Tell me, what do you want? If you're willing to end all this now, I'll give you anything you want! Even my life, you can take it! Tell me! What exactly do you want?"

She wore all her emotions on her face.

But he quietly slipped his hand into his pants pocket.

She has already given in! But if She Yalan is unwilling to release Officer Lin and the others, she will have no choice but to fight to the death.

If they're lucky, not only will Officer Kobayashi and his team survive, but she might also get a chance to live.

Just as Zhou Chunhua silently grasped the item in her pocket, She Yalan, just like before, laughed in a chilling way.

"Hehehe, your life? You think your life is worth anything? Zhou Chunhua, you dug a pit for Wang Lin and sent him there, and you even made a scene that everyone in the city knew about. Do you know how much you embarrass me?"

Do your lives, and the lives of those you instigated to join you in this chorus, matter more important than my reputation? Even if I kill you all, will it restore my dignity?

Let me put it this way! Even if I kill you all, it still won't quell the anger in my heart!

Zhou Chunhua could hardly believe what she was hearing.

At first, she thought that She Yalan came to settle scores with her because she deeply loved Wang Lin.

But she never expected that She Yalan didn't care about Wang Lin at all.

What she cared about was nothing more than face, something that didn't even exist.

No normal person would say such a thing!

She couldn't help but look at She Yalan. This woman, was she crazy?

Zhou Chunhua took a deep breath...

"Since I'm the one who caused you to lose face, then it should be blamed on me, shouldn't it? Release them, and I'll do with them as I please."

She continued to try her best to communicate with She Yalan, this crazy woman.

"Ha! Don't try to pull that 'divine salvation' trick on me. Who do you think you are? A saint?" She Yalan's gaze suddenly turned sinister and vicious.

This was the first time I had seen emotion in She Yalan's eyes since we had been face-to-face for so long.

However, at this moment, She Yalan looked like Gui Li who had climbed up from the bottom of the River of Oblivion.

“Since you have such a saintly heart, then… let’s play a little game.” She Yalan pressed the gun against her forehead again.

"Walk!"

"Where to?" Zhou Chunhua asked.

She Yalan gestured with her chin toward the direction behind her: "You better not try anything funny. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind leaving a hole in your head."

Zhou Chunhua nodded, slowly turned around, and walked back the way she came.

They only have one chance to live, and they must make sure it's absolutely secure.

Hearing the crisp sound of high heels behind her, she stepped into the darkness.

Compared to She Yalan, she had the advantage of being on the right track, having already passed by before.

And their chance of survival lies there.

After passing through a door, it was pitch black all around because there were no windows.

She strained her ears, not missing a single footstep from She Yalan.

Suddenly, the sound of She Yalan's footsteps became slightly unusual.

Zhou Chunhua gritted her teeth, turned around quickly, and pounced on She Yalan.

Because she put all her weight on She Yalan, She Yalan, who was wearing high heels, was caught off guard and fell backward.

Just as She Yalan collapsed, Zhou Chunhua, who had been waiting for this moment, took her hand out of her pocket.

She thrust the object in her hand towards She Yalan's neck.

With a "sizzle," several bolts of lightning flashed in the darkness, intertwining to form a small net.

She Yalan's body trembled, and she made uncontrollable trembling sounds.
