Chapter 555 Don't Call Me Sister
Qin Yuan's heart sank. She slowly raised her head and followed Wen Ni's gaze...
Before them stood the young blind assassin, alone, facing them with a complex expression.
"Huff... Miss Wen, you go first, don't worry about me!" Qin Yuan was panting heavily, and even tried to block the way for Wen Ni.
"How could I possibly escape alone?" Wen Ni said coldly, shielding Qin Yuan behind her without a word. Turning her head again, she had already raised her arm high, the muzzle of the gun in her hand pointing directly at Blind Thorn. "If I can't escape today, then I'll kill a few more people as a sacrifice for Song Yanfeng. That will be worth it!"
“Sister, the patrolmen are right next to us. If you fire your gun, they will be drawn here.” Blind Thorn stepped forward. “I don’t want you to expose yourself to kill me, because I’m not here to stop you.”
Only when his forehead was pressed against the muzzle of her gun did he open his hand, revealing a car key.
"What do you mean? Another one of your schemes?" Wen Ni sneered, staring directly into Blind Thorn's eyes. "Ridiculous, do you think I'd believe you?"
"Believe it or not, this is a special medicine for red crown fever, a portion I stole from Ye Zhishu. Although I know that even if I didn't steal it, you could make it yourself, it would take time, and your friend doesn't have much time left, does he?" Blind Thorn said, then took out another glass bottle.
Wen Ni looked at the bottle of medicine, then at Qin Yuan, whom she was supporting and who was nearly unconscious...
“The master isn’t here. Today is General Dawa’s tenth wife’s birthday banquet, and he has been invited to attend. This is your only chance to escape,” Blind Thorn said.
As they spoke, the sound of the patrolmen's whistles echoed throughout the camp!
They must have discovered that Wen Ni and Qin Yuan were missing and started gathering people to prepare for a search!
“My car is right next to me,” Blind Assassin continued. “I can cover your escape.”
Why are you helping me?
"Because I don't want you to die."
"...Stop pretending!" Wen Ni heard the patrolmen's footsteps getting closer and closer.
If they were captured in the military camp, she and Qin Yuan would face certain death. Their only way out was to escape in the blind assassin's car!
As for what Blind Assassin is up to, we can only wait and see, and react accordingly! In any case, we must get through this crisis smoothly first!
After thinking it through...
Wen Ni no longer hesitated. She put away her gun, repositioned Qin Yuan, whose breath was growing weaker, and looked coldly at Blind Stab. "If you dare to play any other tricks, I'll take your life even if it means we both die! Lead the way!"
"Don't worry, sister."
Blind Thorn's eyes were dim, and he forced a smile, a bitterness he had never felt before.
Patrol soldiers searched the military camp thoroughly.
A black sedan drove up from the guard post at the gate, about to leave the military camp.
As usual, the guards stopped the car for inspection.
The car windows were all tinted with privacy film, so you couldn't see inside. Then the driver's side window slowly rolled down, revealing Blind Thorn's handsome young face.
"Blind stabbing young master!" The guard saluted.
"Those two hostages from China have escaped. Tell them to find them as soon as possible, or everyone here will be held responsible!" Blind Thorn began with a fierce reprimand. "Open the door now! I need to go back and report to my superior so we can make arrangements as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes! Little Blind Thorn Master!"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper quickly let them through!
The car drove out smoothly without any obstruction.
They avoided the passes and traveled only on dirt roads and mountain paths.
It wasn't until they reached a remote, uninhabited mountain forest that Blind Thorn stopped the car and let them out!
“This place is not far from the border of China. There are some villages nearby, but I heard that there is going to be a war. Most of the people in the villages have moved away to escape, and the villages have become empty. You can take refuge here for the time being.”
"Did you kill Song Yanfeng?"
Wen Ni put her arm around Qin Yuan's shoulder and said coldly.
“I didn’t kill him myself, but I did lead the men to ambush him.” Blind Assassin turned his head stiffly, his eyes slightly lowered.
"Did he leave any last words?" Wen Ni tried her best to remain calm, but she still couldn't stop trembling when she mentioned Song Yanfeng's death!
“He asked if I was still alive, and I said I was. He told me not to tell you about his death, saying it would make you sad, and I agreed.” But even if Blind Assassin hadn’t said it, Li Shiyan would have.
In the end, Wen Ni found out anyway.
"Ha..." Wen Ni forced back her tears, turned to look at Blind Thorn, her eyes filled with boundless hatred. "Don't think that just because you helped me and Qin Yuan this time, I will forgive you. This blood debt will not be long before I settle it with you in a fair and square manner!"
“I helped you without ever expecting your forgiveness. Because I know I’ve done too many wrong things.” Blind Assassin stood there, his figure appearing surprisingly thin and small against the backdrop of the dense forest and towering trees behind him. “Once, when I found out you had lied to me, I was determined to kill you. I obeyed the master’s orders, putting you in danger time and time again. I thought that killing you would make me happy. But when you were dying, a bullet piercing your chest, I was afraid! I was afraid of losing you like I lost my brother!”
"When you were unconscious and on the verge of death, I asked myself over and over again, I killed my own brother with my own hands, and now, will I make the same mistake again and kill the sister I love and respect the most?"
"This is the conclusion I've reached, as you see it. I can't bear it, I can't bear to see you die." The Blind Thorn spoke these words, laughing and crying at the same time, as if two versions of himself were battling within his mind. "Sister, actually, I really do love you and cherish you even more than you can imagine..."
This was probably the only truly sincere thing he ever said.
But Wen Ni didn't believe it; she dared not believe it, and she couldn't believe it!
"Don't call me 'sister' anymore."
Wen Ni's cold words were devoid of warmth.
“Your hands are stained with the blood of Chinese people. Whether it’s Company Commander Li Yongmin, Ya Yi, or Song Yanfeng… I wish I could tear you to pieces and scrape your bones from every single one of your lives! Even if you were acting under orders, so what? You are still Li Shiyan’s dog and his accomplice! Even if you die a thousand times or a hundred times, you will never be able to repay this blood debt!”
"sister……"
"I'm sparing your life today because I, Wen Ni, dislike owing favors." Wen Ni turned away indifferently. "Next time we meet, I will make you, and all of you, pay for this debt in blood!"
After saying this, she helped Qin Yuan forward. Their figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Blind Thrust stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
"Sister, I hope we can meet again. I would be willing to die by your hand."
He murmured to himself, and the words faded away with the wind.
The vehicle started and drove away!
In a corner deep within the dense forest, Wen Ni, who should have left, peeked out and watched the car drive away. Only then did she carefully support the semi-conscious Qin Yuan and walk in the opposite direction!
She's not stupid; why would she trust someone so easily?
The place Blind Assassin found for her might not be safe; she had to take Qin Yuan far away from here!
Her body was covered in cuts and lacerations, countless wounds bleeding profusely. Yet she merely bound her body tightly with her clothes, remaining silent, dragging Qin Yuan along, their steps faltering, traveling day and night…
