Hatred welled up inside: "Yu Tang, you only found out today that I'm not a..."
Since the other party is on his turf, he should naturally be treated well. How to treat him well? Well, let's ask him to die.
Chen Diao had no choice but to obey Yu Chaoxian's orders, even if he was unwilling in his heart. Of everyone present, only he wished that Yu Tang could escape and get as far away from his boss as possible.
Meanwhile, Victor in the car had no intention of hurting Yu Tang, so he took the magazine off the gun in front of Yu Tang just now.
Seeing the black car approaching in the rearview mirror, Yu Tang's face turned pale. She had an instinctive reaction to Yu Chaoxian's presence; he was catching up!
Upon spotting the familiar black Bentley, Yu Tang gripped the seat tightly and urged, "Daniel, he caught up with us! We need to get out of here!"
Her voice trembled noticeably, a sign of instinctive fear. She couldn't even imagine what torture awaited her after being captured by Yu Chaoxian.
Victor saw her pale face and glanced in the rearview mirror at the headlights of a car rapidly approaching in the distance.
However, Victor ultimately chose to obey the organization's orders first, since he was determined to protect Yu Tang.
He told Yu Tang to hold on tight to the seatbelt and grip the steering wheel, then accelerated sharply, determined to lead Yu Chaoxian to the capture point at the cliff edge.
The blinding low beams of the headlights illuminated the bend ahead. A black Bentley, which had been pursuing them, suddenly stopped across the middle of the road, with Ajin in the driver's seat, blocking Victor's path.
Viktor gasped and instinctively slammed on the brakes.
The screeching sound of tires skidding on the wet road was followed by the roar of an engine from behind. Chen Diao immediately made a U-turn, drifted, cut off the car, and crashed into the front of Victor's vehicle.
Yu Tang tried to make Victor back up, but the car was already blocking the middle, with no way forward or backward.
The angle formed by the two Bentleys perfectly blocked all of Yu Tang's escape routes.
The headlights of the car in front illuminated the interior as bright as day, while the headlights of the car behind shone directly into the driver's seat, the intense light forcing Yu Tang to raise her hand to shield her eyes.
Yu Chaoxian glared at Chen Diao impatiently.
Chen Diao understood that the boss was upset because he had crashed the car so badly and frightened Yu Tang. More than that, Chen Diao pointed at Victor in shock, "Boss, isn't he dead?!"
Chen Diao personally witnessed the boss shoot Viktor through the chest cavity. It seems that from now on, finishing blows will have to go through the temple.
Yu Chaoxian stared intently at Yu Tang in the passenger seat, scrutinizing every expression on her pale face.
A Toyota honked its horn in the distance. Victor saw that it was the American mercenaries who had arrived first. He thought that since they were now cooperating with the Americas, they were also one of their own.
Viktor thought he saw the light at the end of the tunnel and that reinforcements had arrived. He got out of the car, went around to the passenger side, and led Yu Tang across the street.
Anyway, Yu Chaoxian has already lured them over, so all he and Yu Tang need to do is run to the other side and they'll be safe.
Yu Tang's hand was held tightly by Victor, and Yu Chaoxian's car was just ahead.
The Bentley's rear door opened, and Yu Tang caught a glimpse of the man's profile. She grabbed Victor's hand and ran even faster. Once they were out of there, she would be completely free!
"Boom—!" To everyone's surprise, the American mercenaries completely disregarded the personal safety of Viktor and Yu Tang, showing no fear of harming their own people, and directly picked up the rocket launcher and fired it into Yu Chaoxian's car.
As a result, the mercenary saw the armed helicopter overhead. In an attempt to avoid being strafed by the helicopter, he misaimed and instead hit the rear of the Victor's vehicle.
Before Victor could even react in shock, he quickly shielded Yu Tang and tumbled behind a tree. The American mercenaries' actions were utterly reckless, as if they were determined to kill Yu Chaoxian!
Compared to being attacked, Yu Chaoxian was clearly more concerned about the two people clasping hands behind the tree.
The enemy could kill her with a single shot or cannon shot, and they don't care whether she lives or dies because of her location. She still has to follow Viktor and is so eager to go to her death!
Yu Chaoxian's order came through the communication headset: Ivan and Mingming on the helicopter immediately used machine gun fire to strafe and blow up the Toyota in front of them.
After dealing with the outsiders, it's time to deal with his disobedient and treacherous aunt.
Just then, Victor called out again, "Tangtang, over here!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Yu Chaoxian's eyes. Last time, it was his carelessness that he failed to finish off this shameless man with a single shot.
“Little Aunt, come here.” Yu Chaoxian’s gaze was fixed on her. He wanted her to come to him on her own initiative, rather than go to Victor.
Yu Tang didn't even hear what he was saying, only the word "past." Past? Of course she didn't want that. Yu Tang grabbed Victor and ran, not knowing which way to go, only hearing the sound of the waves.
In the instant she turned and ran, Yu Tang hurriedly glimpsed through the rear window that Yu Chaoxian's lips moved.
Countless times afterward, Yu Tang regretted it; she should have stopped at that moment. But she was too scared, too eager to leave him. Her whole body was cold and aching; she really didn't want to go back to the murderer who had hurt her brother.
The roar of the helicopter in mid-air was muffled by the rumble of thunder.
Mingming's sniper scope locked firmly on the target, and he said in a deep voice, "Roger that."
In the rain, a drop of water hit Mingming's sniper rifle barrel, splashing up tiny water droplets—bang!
The gunshots were drowned out by the thunder and rain, but the bullets swiftly grazed the rain curtain and pierced Viktor's sunbeams.
Blood exploded instantly in the rain, splattering onto Yu Tang's pale face, warm and dazzling. Her heart clenched, as if it had stopped.
Viktor's body trembled violently, and his pupils dilated abruptly. He staggered and turned around, seemingly wanting to take another look at Yu Tang, but ultimately fell heavily to his knees, his fingers still holding hers, but he could no longer hold on tightly.
All Victor left for Yu Tang in the end was a smile he couldn't quite finish. Ultimately, his concern wasn't entirely genuine; he had deliberately slowed down the car along the way to help KX pinpoint Yu Chaoxian's location.
No one believed that Yu Chaoxian would risk his own safety to pursue a young girl. Now that this has been proven, they want to use this girl to ambush Yu Chaoxian, even at the cost of her life.
Viktor never intended to send Yu Tang to where she wanted to go. He remembered Yu Tang telling him that she wanted to go to a country where guns were banned, and at that moment her eyes were full of hope for the future, but he deliberately ignored it.
According to KX's instructions, he was to bring Yu Tang back to Russia. If the mission of capturing Yu Chaoxian was not completed, he would have to bring Yu Tang back to Russia to lure Yu Chaoxian out.
He has always touted himself as righteous, loyal to the country, and a patriotic arms dealer, but now he is using an innocent girl who trusts him wholeheartedly for the sake of so-called justice.
"Tantan..." Even in his dying moments, Viktor's mind drifted back to his childhood days studying in Hong Kong. There was his mother, Yu Tang, and many bright and beautiful places. If he could, he wanted to live with Yu Tang in Hong Kong, in a country without guns...
Unfortunately, fate twice presented the answer to Viktor, but he pushed it away both times. He touched the hem of fate, but ultimately let it slip through his fingers.
He opened his hands as if trying to catch a wisp of wind, but in the end, they hung limply, leaving only emptiness.
Yu Tang stood frozen, rainwater mingling with blood streaming down her face. She slowly raised her head, looking in the direction the sniper bullet had come from. He was wearing a communication headset. His mission was to shoot Viktor in the temple, not his heart.
She looked blankly at Yu Chaoxian through the rear window.
The man slowly removed his headset in her line of sight, his gaze meeting hers through the rain, a cold smile curving his lips. "Come here now, and we can still discuss things."
Discuss? What else is there to discuss?
The rain poured down harder and harder, washing away the bloodstains spreading on the ground, but it couldn't wash away the despair in Yu Tang's eyes.
She slumped into the puddle, the icy rain soaking through her clothes, yet she felt no cold. Yu Tang, holding Victor's gradually cooling body, felt terribly cold.
A terrifying bolt of lightning cleaved the sky in two. Yu Tang struggled to lift Victor's body and staggered forward. Chen Diao blocked her path ahead; behind her, A Jin blocked her way.
Ah Jin simply turned her head away, avoiding Yu Tang's eyes.
She stopped abruptly, her lower abdomen cramping from the rain and menstrual cramps, and she no longer had the strength to hold Victor; she was about to collapse herself.
Another bolt of lightning struck, and Yu Chaoxian's figure stood out in the rain, holding a heavy black umbrella, standing alone in the rain as if he were detached from the world.
His black suit blended seamlessly into the pitch-black night, except for his strikingly pale skin.
He walked slowly, the sound of his footsteps across the puddles clearly audible, each step feeling like it was treading on Yu Tang's heart.
He held an umbrella over her, but she didn't even realize he was holding one and ran over; the rain must have made her lose her mind.
Yu Chaoxian stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes, giving her a final moment of patience: "Yu Tang, I'll say it one last time, come here now, and I can overlook everything that just happened."
Yu Tang looked at Yu Chaoxian, engaging in a tug-of-war of gazes. Under Yu Chaoxian's impatient gaze, she slowly took a small step forward.
He quickly retreated, shook his head slightly, but with unwavering resolve.
Her face was deathly pale, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, like a flame that refused to go out.
Yu Tang swiftly and decisively pulled his pistol from the pocket of Yu Chaoxian's suit trousers.
Her gun-holding posture was absolutely beautiful. Having seen Yu Chaoxian hold a gun so many times, she was definitely Yu Chaoxian's best student.
She gripped the gun, her hand trembling as she warned, "Don't come any closer! Let me and Viktor go!"
The man's eyes suddenly turned dark; he was pointing a gun at him because of another man.
Chen Diao frowned, instinctively raising his gun to aim at Yu Tang, but the next second Yu Chaoxian appeared directly within Chen Diao's line of fire.
When Yu Chaoxian appeared in the scope, Chen Diao quickly put away his gun. How could he not understand that his boss was telling him not to touch Yu Tang?
"No, don't come any closer!" Yu Tang staggered backward step by step, because Yu Chaoxian was not afraid of death and kept approaching.
As the rain intensified, she became addicted to getting soaked, and ended up with a fever that lingered for days. Yu Chaoxian grew impatient and went to drag her back.
"I told you not to come any closer!" Yu Tang's nerves were already stretched to the limit, and she could break at the slightest bit of force, but Yu Chaoxian wouldn't stop at all.
Yu Tang closed his eyes and pulled the trigger. Bang—the bullet grazed Yu Chaoxian's shoulder.
As the gunshot rang out, Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat. She tried to calm her trembling voice: "I told you not to come any closer. Let Viktor and me go!"
Even if it's a corpse, she'll take it away and give it a proper burial. At least it can't fall into Yu Chaoxian's hands. She knows what happened to Liang Jiaqi.
Yu Chaoxian showed no sign of stopping. During the ambush, the hail of bullets hadn't harmed him at all; now that she had a gun, she could easily injure him.
Yu Tang was utterly despondent. She was not even twenty years old yet, still very young, what could she possibly understand? At this moment, all she could think of was that it was better to die with dignity than to be tortured in his hands.
Can't I decide my own fate? She held the gun to her temple and made a desperate gamble with him: "Yu Chaoxian, don't come any closer!"
Yu Chaoxian stopped as expected, stared at her expressionlessly for two seconds, and said, "I'll let you go."
After he finished speaking, he didn't take another step forward. Yu Tang was too flustered, and in her attempt to hold onto Viktor, the gun slipped from her hand.
The moment the pistol fell to the ground, the man bent down and picked it up with his long fingers, extinguishing Yu Tang's last hope.
As Yu Chaoxian approached, his anger was barely concealed, and she staggered back two steps. Her soaked skirt clung to her legs, almost tripping her, but she managed to steady herself.
Then he turned and ran without looking back.
Rain blurred her vision, and pebbles cut her ankles, but Yu Tang didn't care. Even if she might die the next second, she had to run. She was fed up with him controlling everything, absolutely everything!
Her face was a blur of tears and rain. But at this moment, she was finally free. If he wanted to shoot, he could just kill her from behind; she had witnessed his ruthlessness firsthand.
“Yu Tang,” Yu Chaoxian’s cold voice carried an irresistible pressure, “If you come here now, I can still leave Viktor with a whole corpse.”
With a gunshot, Yu Chaoxian pierced Viktor's body with a single shot.
Yu Tang suddenly stopped and looked back at Yu Chaoxian in disbelief. What kind of demon was he that he could even disturb the dead?
She had no doubt that Yu Chaoxian would indeed torture Victor's corpse.
"You've forgotten about your brother's life again, haven't you?" Yu Chaoxian continued to exert pressure with an air of nonchalance.
When he spoke of his brother, all of Yu Tang's resistance, collapse, and despair were instantly crushed.
Yu Chaoxian easily grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
His arms were wrapped tightly around her body, so tightly that she could hardly breathe. Yu Tang could clearly feel the violent pounding of his heart in his chest, vibrating like a drum in her ears, rapid and heavy.
Just like every time he encountered danger, he would hug himself like this.
But this time, Yu Tang wished he were dead!
As Yu Chaoxian's heartbeat gradually returned to normal with Yu Tang's complete recovery, the feeling of regaining what he had lost was not one of relief.
It was an uncontrollable rage! It was lingering fear!
"Yu Tang, is it worth making such a fuss with me over an outsider?"
"Arguing with you?" Yu Tang sneered. Yu Chaoxian dared to question her? In her eyes, Yu Chaoxian was merely trying to cover up his misdeeds by blaming others. "I had a family and a brother, my life was perfectly fine, I should have been as happy as my peers. You ruined my brother, you deliberately spilled the medicine so he wouldn't get timely treatment, you threatened Uncle Guan with Uncle Guan's mother! All the happiness and good things I had, including my life, were destroyed by you! It's all because of you, Yu Chaoxian! Now you still want to control me, to make me live in your shadow!"
She felt nothing but boundless hatred for him. "So why do you still think I'm just messing around with you?"
Yu Tang's mind was filled with crimson blood—Viktor's, and that of the women, children, and civilians. Her trembling voice broke amidst the thunder, yet it carried an unprecedented ruthlessness: "You deliberately sold those weapons to kill innocent people, even the most defenseless! They shouldn't have died, Liang Jiaqi shouldn't have died, Viktor shouldn't have died, and my brother should be alive and well. You're the one who deserves to die! I've been thinking for more than a day why it wasn't you, Yu Chaoxian, who died!"
She kept saying she wanted him dead; she was so cruel and hard-hearted at such a young age.
Yu Chaoxian suddenly sneered, pulled her back with his backhand, and held her tightly in his arms. He ignored the several slaps she gave him as she struggled. "Yu Tang, is it only today that you realize I'm not a good person? Your brother does these kinds of businesses and is even worse than me. How come he's so noble in your eyes, but you wish I were dead? What kind of logic is that?"
Yu Tang was forced to tilt her head back sharply, her neck tense, her veins throbbing violently beneath her pale skin, and her tearful eyes filled with disdain for him.
"You dare mention my brother? What right do you have to compare yourself to him?" She fought back tears, defiantly rebuking him. "My brother loved me, cherished me, respected me, gave me a wonderful life, and let me live without worries; you forced me into an illicit relationship with you and imprisoned me by your side... I can't stand this disgusting relationship with you for even a day. Not a single day has been willing for me. My biggest regret is not letting Gideon shoot you that day!"
Yu Tang was soaked to the bone. She was somewhat incoherent, her long hair plastered messily to her face. Rainwater mixed with tears streamed down her face, but it couldn't wash away the despair and anger in her eyes.
"Take back what you said." A chill emanated from Yu Chaoxian, as if even the surrounding rain curtain was frozen.
But Yu Tang's only response was a gaze filled with hatred. The girl's clear black and white eyes did not hide her emotions; these vicious words were all from the bottom of her heart.
Knowing this, Yu Chaoxian's expression turned completely cold.
