Suddenly, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had suddenly realized something.
"I went to so much trouble to save and help you, and this is how you see me? We've known each other for so long, we know each other inside and out, why did you have to pull this stunt? Get your people out of here, I have something important to tell you."
Her deep voice was filled with grief, and the despair in her eyes revealed no flaw.
"You bitch! Do you think I'd still believe your lies?!" Master Chen, enraged and humiliated, lunged forward and grabbed Hua Ling by the throat. "I trusted you so much, but what have you done? You destroyed the Alliance Leader's treasury and intelligence department, severed the Alliance Leader's two arms, and made me bear the blame! You bitch, you deserve to die!"
"You've been lurking here to get the Alliance Leader's handprint so you can destroy the Emperor Killing Alliance's base, haven't you? You've got a really good plan. If the Alliance Leader hadn't guided me, I would have been fooled by you too!"
His powerful fingers were like demonic claws, so strong that they seemed capable of snapping Hua Ling's neck at any moment.
Hua Ling's face turned pale from suffocation and lack of oxygen, but her eyes remained fixed on Master Chen without complaint, as if she wanted to imprint his face into her mind forever...
When Master Chen met Hua Ling's deep and desperate eyes, he felt a profound shock to his soul.
He reacted as if electrocuted, frantically removing his hand from Hualing's neck. Hualing immediately collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, showing no resistance whatsoever despite her extensive experience.
Master Chen was deeply shocked by this scene, and for the first time felt a sense of lingering fear for his own ruthlessness.
He then beckoned to his subordinates and said coldly, "All of you, get out!"
"But..." the subordinate hesitated, but was rebuked again by Master Chen:
"Didn't you hear me? Get out of here right now!"
"Yes..." The subordinate was so frightened that he could only leave the room quickly.
Soon only Master Chen and Hua Ling remained in the room. Just as Master Chen was about to go forward and ask Hua Ling something, the sound of a bullet piercing flesh and a woman's painful groan suddenly came clearly from inside the room.
Master Chen looked up in shock and saw Hua Ling swaying and collapsing to the ground, her gun falling from her hand.
Crimson blood continued to spread from the abdomen, its color bright red and glaring.
"Hua Ling!" As if struck by a great shock, Master Chen rushed forward and tightly embraced Hua Ling. "Hua Ling, how are you? Are you alright? Why did you do this? Why?!"
He was saved by Karin many times; it's fair to say that without Karin, he wouldn't be who he is today.
Although he was a heinous criminal, he was not without a heart!
Looking into Master Chen's grief-stricken eyes, Hua Ling choked back tears, which fell like beads from a broken string.
“I am utterly loyal to the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, how could I possibly betray our leader? I know that both the leader and you, Master Chen, are suspicious, so from the moment I was suspected, I could never clear my name of being an undercover agent. Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to prove my innocence with my death. I beg you, Master Chen, to continue to serve our leader on my behalf…”
Master Chen felt as if a knife was cutting into his heart, his eyes filled with shock, regret, and grief.
He said hurriedly, "Don't move! I'll call a doctor for you right away. I can save you! Don't worry, just focus on living. I'll talk to the leader. He'll forgive you!"
Just as he was about to get up, Hua Ling grabbed his sleeve with all her remaining strength.
He turned around in astonishment, only to see the frail Hua Ling sobbing uncontrollably: "I am already a dying man, why should Master Chen bother with me? Even if you are willing to believe me, you cannot change the Alliance Leader's mind. So, let me die..."
Her voice was almost hoarse, her body was overwhelmed by pain, and she was on the verge of fainting.
Master Chen held her tightly, his heart filled with anxiety: "Hua Ling, how are you? Hua Ling!"
Hua Ling, clinging to her last breath, said with tears in her eyes, "I'm going to die anyway, but before I die, could I ask Master Chen to grant me a small wish? I heard that the Alliance Leader's handprint is with you and Ala, but I've never seen it before. Could I see it... just once?"
She was barely breathing and on the verge of death. Master Chen became even more anxious and quickly took out the item.
"These are the Alliance Leader's handprints, take a look..."
This is a handprint specially drawn on a parchment scroll. However, in order to preserve the original appearance of the handprint, a special material was used to preserve the lines of the handprint on it. You can clearly feel the lines of the handprint on the parchment scroll when you gently touch it with your finger.
Hua Ling touched the parchment scroll with tears in her eyes, and even her fingers gripped the scroll tighter:
"I never imagined that after serving the Emperor-Slaying Alliance for so many years, I, Hua Ling, would be executed because of a mere baseless suspicion from the Alliance Leader. So this is the Alliance Leader's Seal that took my life. I finally had the chance to see it before I died..."
Filled with grief, she gripped the parchment tightly, making it creak.
At the same time, his eyes also shone with endless relief and no regrets.
She had been hiding in the Lotus Pavilion for many years, and finally gloriously completed her mission!
Even if it meant death, it would be worth it for her!
Her life has finally come in handy!
Tears welled up in Hua Ling's eyes, and through those tears, she seemed to see the rest of her life unfold before her.
The next moment, her head tilted to the side, and she collapsed, no longer breathing.
"Hua Ling! Hua Ling!!" Master Chen hurriedly called out to Hua Ling, trying to wake her up.
But Hua Ling had already fallen into a state of death, how could she possibly wake up again?
A dark current swirled in Master Chen's dark eyes, and the gloomy look in his eyes seemed to want to devour people.
Suddenly, he clenched his fingers tightly, took the parchment from Hua Ling's hand, stood up, and walked towards the door:
"The thief must still be around here, maybe even right next to us! Go out and search immediately, don't let any suspicious person slip by!"
"Yes!" Master Chen immediately led his men out.
But no sooner had they gone out than two dark figures jumped in through the window and landed on the ground.
Upon seeing Hua Ling on the ground, Ye Zhancheng and Ye Lingxiao immediately recognized her as an undercover agent sent by the Criminal Investigation Department, and were immediately shocked.
"Quickly, see if she can still be saved?!" The two rushed forward, but Hua Ling was no longer breathing.
Ye Lingxiao frowned: "There's nothing we can do. This shot was fatal; there's no saving him now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhancheng subtly focused his gaze on Hua Ling's clenched fist.
