Seeing this, Fan said: "I don't have any weapons now, and I'm seriously injured. You don't have to worry about me posing any threat to you."

His deep eyes flickered slightly, and when he looked straight at her, Ren Ke had an illusion that the other party really cared about her.

She seemed to be bewildered, and moved forward step by step.

But finally she came to, and stopped two steps away.

"Tell me, what do you want to say to me alone?" Ren Ke said coldly.

Seeing that the man was about to speak, she said coldly, "Don't say that you regret killing me. We have known each other for so many years, and we know each other very well. Instead of making me believe that you regret killing me, you might as well say that if you had known that I would do something unexpected later, you would have definitely dealt with me at the beginning to prevent future troubles."

The man fell silent.

The corner of Ren Ke's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and it was unclear whether he was mocking the other person or himself.

"You are a person who only regrets not doing things thoroughly."

These words finally made the man's expression fluctuate.

He moved his thin lips and asked, "Why?"

"What?"

"Didn't the bullet hit your heart that night?"

Fan looked directly at Ren Ke, "I believe my marksmanship is not that bad. So how did you survive?"

Hearing this, Ren Ke actually laughed out loud, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.

She said, "Just now I really thought about what you said. Maybe you still care about me a little bit, just not as much as I thought. But now I know that it's all fake! You have never cared about me!"

The irrelevant answer made Fan frown.

The next moment, Ren Ke said, "We have known each other for as long as you and Lin Wu have known each other. You remember everything about her, no matter how small it is. But you are not interested in anything about me. You have never paid attention to the fact that my heart is on the right side, which is a fatal mistake for you!"

Her eyes were filled with tears.

"But everyone around me and you knows about this!"

The man's face finally showed a look of astonishment and stiffness.

Ren Ke took a deep breath, calmed down her thoughts, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Do you know when I started to care about you?"

Fan was silent for a few seconds and shook his head.

Ren Ke said calmly: "The person you saw first was not Lin Wu, but me."

"When I was a kid, in the first few days after I entered the assassin city, I really didn't want to live anymore. I wanted to die at that time. I thought of many ways, such as hitting myself to death, starving to death, dying of thirst, deliberately making mistakes and being beaten to death, or finding a sharp object to commit suicide. In the end, I chose to sneak out at night and freeze to death in the snow."

"The reason was simple. I wanted to die in a decent and beautiful way, without much pain. I forced myself to have a good sleep outside, and it would be over. I actually managed to sneak out that night. But I didn't die. Someone saved me."

She looked at the man in front of her who was clearly very close but whose description was blurry.

"That person is you."

"You gave me a piece of clothing and told me that it was stupid to want to die. I said I had no family and that my family wasn't doing well. You said you were the same. But what does their poor health have to do with us? I had to live a wonderful life for them to see, so that they would understand that losing us was their loss."

Fan's expression changed slightly.

"So I went back obediently that night. A few days later, they said someone would choose us for training. I was very happy to see it was you. I wanted to follow you, but Lin Wu got there first, and you took her away."

Ren Ke snorted, full of self-mockery, "I called you from behind, and you turned around, but you looked at me with strange eyes, you forgot about me."

Many things began to emerge from that time.

From the beginning, she was insignificant to the other party.

Even if she tried harder later, it was still insignificant.

Even if he looked back, he would not look at her.

He left without hesitation.

At this moment, Fan seemed to be frozen. The staggered lights on the ceiling enveloped him, making him look like a cold jade statue. His face seemed even paler.

He spoke slowly, as if forcing the words out.

"Wasn't the person who wore my clothes back then...An Sheng?"

Ren Ke was suddenly stunned.

The two looked at each other, and time stood still at that moment, making every untimely heartbeat and breathing sound become extremely ridiculous.

Ren Ke understood and couldn't help laughing. He squatted down while laughing and bent his straight back.

She covered her face, and her laughter eventually turned into low sobs.

"I gave it to Lin Wu," she said. "She was so naughty at the time that she offended the person guarding us. That person deliberately made things difficult for her and gave her thin clothes. Her hands and feet were frozen red."

They didn't even have hot water to wash themselves.

Covered in dust and dirt.

Being alive is good enough.

Fan looked down at Ren Ke motionlessly.

After a long time, he also squatted down, stretched out his bloodstained hand, but only stopped above Ren Ke's head. He stared at the person in front of him in a daze and closed his eyes.

“…Now I know.”

"We can start over again."

He said slowly.

Ren Ke's sobs gradually disappeared.

After a moment, she said, "Impossible."

The man asked, "Are you sure?"

"yes."

“…I’m sorry.”

Ren Ke heard the sound coming from above his head, and before he could react, he suddenly felt something cold on his neck.

Ren Ke was stunned and looked down slowly.

The dagger that Lin Wu had returned to her waist had fallen into the other party's hands at some point and was pressing against her most vulnerable part.

The man's voice seemed to have no fluctuations: "I want to leave here."

Ren Ke looked up.

The man had a complex and dark expression. He moved his lips and said, "You can settle this account with me later."

Ren Ke looked at him blankly and asked, "Do you know that this knife was the first thing you gave me after I followed you? Are you going to use it to hold me hostage now? If necessary, will you use it to kill me without hesitation?"

Fan lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding her gaze, and did not answer. He just grabbed her arm, pulled her up forcefully, and said, "Let's go, I don't have much time..."

A fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged up in his throat, and Fan suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The blood was splattered on the ground, black in color.

Fan's face changed.

But before he could think of anything, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, as if it was being crushed alive. His legs and feet lost strength and he fell to the ground, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Black blood dripped down.

The man shook his head and realized something.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of me.

He barely raised his head and saw Ren Ke, who had an expressionless face but tears in her eyes.

Ren Ke sneered, "At this time, you still want to use me to protect your last interests. You know, I don't want to make you suffer, I want to give you a quick death."

"When did you... do it..."

Men are incredible.

Ren Ke said hoarsely: "On the night you...killed me."

…

Outside.

Ling Xiu estimated the time and felt a little impatient.

"It's been more than ten minutes. I hope nothing happened to Ren Ke in there? Should we go in?" She stood up and looked towards the door.

Up to now, they haven't heard any movement.

Lin Wu shook his head, still lying comfortably on the steps, looking at the bottomless night sky, and said, "Wait a little longer."

Ling Xiu looked at her: "What are you going to do when Ren Ke comes out?"

"To the Ice Prison."

"? Shouldn't you rest first? Even if you want to see the city lord, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"I can wait, but the city lord can't wait any longer."

Lin Wu said.

Ling Xiu was confused.

Just as she was about to ask, she heard footsteps from inside! Ling Xiu immediately turned her head and saw Ren Ke appear in the corridor, walking slowly towards them. She seemed to be in a state of confusion, and she was in a daze.

"Ren Ke?" Ling Xiu walked up the stairs.

Lin Wu also turned around.

Ren Ke quickly reached the door and came to his senses when he heard the sound.

Meeting the gazes of Lin Wu and Ling Xiu, she forced out a relaxed smile, shrugged and said, "It's done, let's go."

Ling Xiu looked inside with concern: "Then he..."

"Dead." Ren Ke said calmly, "Died from the poison. It was a painful death."

Lin Wu sat up straight, raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you would give him a quick death."

Ren Ke just snorted sarcastically.

Ling Xiu was confused: "Wait, what poison? How could it be poisonous?"

Lin Wu kindly replied: "I poisoned him."

Ling Xiu looked at Lin Wu in shock: "You? How did you do it? And where did you get the poison?"

"The night Ren Ke pretended to kill me, he brought the latest Y-trt neurotoxin developed by the laboratory. I took it away in front of Fan while I was checking whether Ren Ke was alive or dead. Fan was so angry with me that night that he didn't bother to check what was missing from Ren Ke's body."

"Then tonight, I put the poison in the egg noodles I gave him. In order to make him believe it and eat it with confidence, I also ate the noodles." Lin Wu said.

Ling Xiu's expression changed slightly: "Then you..."

"I have injected the antidote."

Lin Wu brushed the dirt off his body and stood up.

She said, "I didn't treat my wound last night and Fan found out for this reason. He found a doctor for me. Zheng Lian had already arranged his own people in the laboratory and asked them to take the opportunity to sneak in and treat my wound last night and inject me with the antidote."

"And tonight, the female doctor who treated my injuries was also from Zheng Lian. She injected me with the antidote again."

Since she wanted to hold the person back tonight, she had to do her best and make sure nothing went wrong.

This way, even if Fan really looked for an opportunity to escape and cause trouble, she wouldn't worry.

"No wonder you let Ren Ke be alone with him just now." Ling Xiu felt numb from the ups and downs of her mood.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and go to Pier 3. My second brother should be waiting there." Lin Wu said.

Zheng Lian waved his hand and asked his subordinates to drive the car in the distance over.

Lin Wu turned around and Ling Xiu followed.

But Ren Ke suddenly spoke and called Lin Wu.

Ling Xiu paused, then quickly left with Zheng Lian, leaving some space.

"What's the matter?" Lin Wu asked after his men had left.

Ren Ke stared at her and asked, "Why?"

"?"

"You and I have always been at loggerheads since we were little. I have always wanted to kill you, and you know that. So why did you choose to cooperate with me when you were with Lord Bai Hai? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Fan everything?"

“…”

Lin Wu also looked at her, and after a while he answered the question irrelevantly: "At that time, Master Bai Hai taught me something."

"What?"

"trust."

Lin Wu said casually, "I think this can be learned."

"The reason why I chose you as the first person I trust is because when you and I first met when I was five years old, in this dangerous killer city, you gave me a piece of clothing that kept me from freezing to death."

Through this, she believed that Ren Ke was actually a good person.

So she wanted to take her away from Killer City.
