Cha Shenlou's fat face was contorted with fear, and large beads of sweat mixed with grease rolled down his forehead.
He led his last three bodyguards and rushed toward an inconspicuous iron gate in the corner of the factory!
There is a firebreak there that he left when he built the factory!
He completely forgot about Cha Meiling standing to the side!
"Daddy!" Cha Meiling screamed, watching helplessly as her father abandoned her again without hesitation and fled for his life alone!
It's always like this! This man only cares about himself!
Anger and icy despair instantly seized her heart!
Cha Meiling stared at his obese back, a crazed hatred flashing in her eyes, and screamed shrilly—
"Cha Shenlou! You dare abandon me! Believe me or not, I'll smash those three jade chili peppers right now! They're your only chance to turn things around! You won't get them!"
Cha Shenlou abruptly stopped, turned around abruptly, his triangular eyes filled with resentment and struggle.
Those three jade chili peppers were his last bargaining chip!
He gritted his teeth and shouted at the bodyguard closest to Cha Meiling, "Drag her away! Get out of here!"
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then turned around and rushed towards Cha Meiling, roughly grabbing her arm and dragging her into the passageway.
The four of them squeezed into the narrow passage and stumbled down the dusty stairs.
The heavy gunshots and screams were shut out behind them; only their heavy breathing and hurried footsteps could be heard in the passage.
However, just as they rushed to the first-floor stairwell and were about to see the light of the exit—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several muffled gunshots suddenly rang out in front of the stairs!
The bullets struck the ground precisely at their feet, sending up a cloud of concrete debris!
Cha Shenlou and the others screamed in fright and stopped abruptly in their tracks!
At the bottom of the stairs, a tall and slender figure wearing camouflage combat uniforms and with his face covered in paint blocked their way like a ghost!
The man held a sleek submachine gun in his hand, its dark muzzle pointed directly at them!
Ning Yuan, standing behind a pillar on the second floor, caught this scene with her sharp eyes.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of an inconspicuous black sedan parked behind a broken window. The window was rolled down, and there was no one inside.
In a flash, a resolute glint appeared in her eyes!
Cha Meiling suddenly used all her strength to shove Cha Shenlou hard!
"Ah—!" Caught off guard, Cha Shenlou lost his balance and tumbled down the stairs like a giant ball of flesh, screaming in agony!
The three bodyguards were shocked and instinctively rushed down the stairs to help Cha Shenlou: "Boss!"
Now!
Cha Meiling suddenly broke free from her restraints, turned around and scrambled up to the window, then climbed over without hesitation and stumbled towards the black sedan!
Meanwhile, Cha Shenlou was thrown around in a daze, his head hitting the cold cement floor.
Blood was flowing freely, and he grimaced in pain.
Fortunately, he was covered in fat, so his bones weren't broken.
He struggled to lift his head and saw the tall, camouflaged, masked figure walking towards him step by step.
The other person asked in a calm yet chilling tone, "Cha Shenlou, where are you going?"
The remaining three bodyguards reacted immediately, raising their guns and firing wildly at the tall figure: "Protect the boss and retreat! Kill him!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Gunfire was intense, but the camouflaged figure moved even faster!
He moved with the agility of a ghost, firing short bursts of his submachine gun with a calm yet ruthless rhythm!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The bullets pierced precisely between the eyebrows or into the hearts of the three bodyguards!
It only lasted a few minutes! The exchange wasn't even particularly intense!
The three well-trained bodyguards couldn't even put up a decent fight before their eyes widened in disbelief, and they collapsed limply beside Cha Shenlou, their warm blood spreading rapidly.
Cha Shenlou stared in disbelief, his entire body trembling with fat.
Fear overwhelmed him instantly!
He abruptly dropped the gun, raised his hands high, his obese body trembling violently with fear: "No...don't shoot! I surrender! I surrender!!"
His knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
"I possess many secrets! A great deal of intelligence! I know many plans! I can atone for my crimes through meritorious service!!"
The camouflaged figure walked step by step toward him, seemingly accepting his surrender.
A flash of resentment crossed Cha Shenlou's eyes, and his kneeling body jerked violently.
A miniature pistol hidden in his sleeve slid into his palm in an instant, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger toward the other man's chest!
"Go to hell!"
However--
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A gunshot rang out even faster than his!
Several bullets pierced deeply into Chashenlou's obese chest!
The immense impact sent him sprawling backward!
He finally saw that there was not only one camouflaged figure on the first floor, but also several other figures that coldly leaped out, their guns emitting blue smoke.
"Uh..." Cha Shenlou covered the several bloody holes that were rapidly opening on his chest in disbelief.
He struggled to lift his head and look at the nearest camouflaged figure in front of him!
This time, he finally saw those eyes clearly—sharp, cold, and strangely familiar!
A hissing sound escaped his throat, and blood continued to gush from the corner of his mouth: "No...it's not a mercenary...it's you...you...Zhou Yan...you actually...are still alive..."
Such a huge explosion... This is absurd!!
Is he some kind of nine-lives monster cat?
As the approaching figure drew near, Cha Shenlou clutched his chest, his eyes blazing with resentment and bitterness, and cried out, "You...you can't kill me...I...I know so much information...so much...Save me! Save me!"
A tall, slender figure slowly walked up to him and knelt down on one knee.
His voice was calm and even, yet carried a deadly chill: "Cha Shenlou, Aunt Shu has been arrested. She knows more than you do."
Aunt Shu?! She's been arrested?!
Cha Shenlou's cloudy pupils suddenly dilated, his last glimmer of hope utterly shattered!
Aunt Shu... that old hag... she was arrested too?!
He's finished! Utterly finished!
Resentment and bitterness gnawed at Cha Shenlou's heart like venomous snakes; he stared intently at the person before him—
"Zhou Yan...why...why aren't you dead?! Why aren't you going to hell?!"
The man slowly raised his hand and pulled down the camouflage mask on his face, revealing a face that was still breathtakingly handsome despite the smoke and blood.
But those eyes were deep and cold, like ice that had never melted.
The man's voice was deep and clear: "Cha Shenlou, we meet again, but you've mistaken me for someone else."
He looked at Cha Shenlou's twisted, resentful face, a cold, mocking smile curving his lips—
“I rarely take off my mask, but today, I will formally introduce myself. My surname is Rong, and my name is Rong Zhaonan. Back then in the sea, you escaped, but this time your luck is not so good.”
"I did indeed return from hell, just to... send traitors like you down there!"
Cha Shenlou's body trembled violently. He tried to say something, but only painful, hoarse gurgling sounds came from his throat: "Ahhh...you...you..."
He reached out his hand, as if trying to grasp something, but it fell limply to the ground.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, leaving only an intense, unyielding resentment and bitterness, frozen on his fat and distorted face.
The once-powerful and ruthless Cha Shenlou, the head of the Cha family, met his end.
Rong Zhaonan slowly straightened up, pulled up his mask, and glanced coldly at Cha Shenlou's corpse as if it were a pile of garbage: "Third brother, fifth brother, clean up the battlefield, the rest of you follow me!"
He turned around and walked out of the factory.
If I'm not mistaken, the one who rushed to investigate Meiling just now should be Miss Ning Qi...
He sighed inwardly. Miss Rabbit Spirit, she's always been the one to take the initiative!
