"I didn't want this, you forced me," Wang Yu Bei said fiercely, like a gambler who had staked everything.
Xing Yuan smiled. She had felt a pang of guilt earlier, but now, that guilt was completely gone.
That's right, her heart only needed to belong to one person.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?" Xing Yuan said slowly, a hint of killing intent surfacing in her heart.
"You won't!" Wang Yu Bei scoffed confidently. "Even if your status in the organization is high, they won't easily give up a money tree like me. Killing me would likely have a significant impact on you too!"
"Indeed." Xing Yuan nodded. While she could afford the loss, if they discovered her desire to leave, they would all go mad.
Therefore, she couldn't take that risk. She had to leave him for those people to deal with, so she could then intervene openly.
Wang Yu Bei wanted to say more, but Xing Yuan simply hung up the phone.
Then, she called someone else. "Lian Yu, there's an opportunity now to replace your current boss. Are you in?"
Lian Yu seemed startled. After a moment of silence, he replied, "I'm in! What do I need to do?"
"Take your men and betray him. My people will kill him during the chaos. When the leadership is gone, I'll have them appoint you as his successor by the organization's decree," Xing Yuan said calmly.
She had prepared this path from the beginning, meticulously investigating many people before choosing Lian Yu. However, this action was risky, as she knew Wang Yu Bei was not one to be easily subdued. He might have some contingency plans.
But Xing Yuan knew even more clearly that if she didn't do this, Wang Yu Bei might very well turn himself in to the police and expose her. She absolutely could not give him the weapons, especially after learning who he intended to target.
Preparations had been underway since the day Lian Yu first met Xing Yuan. His own influence was not insignificant. Now, with Wang Yu Bei's mind in turmoil, his rebellion caught Wang Yu Bei off guard, allowing him to seize a considerable territory.
Xing Yuan, meanwhile, had notified Ming and issued a kill order. The sooner he died, the better.
The snipers who had been watching him immediately sprang into action, but their first attempt failed, only inflicting a minor injury before he was protected.
After a brief exchange, he discovered the real enemy. He hadn't expected her to dare kill him. It seemed he had underestimated her standing within the organization.
It was a long night. An hour after the fighting began, the police finally received word and dispatched officers to contain the situation.
Most of the thugs used knives and clubs, but a few were armed with guns. Although most were equipped with silencers, they made little effort to conceal themselves, and a kind passerby had called the police.
Wang Yu Bei remained holed up, and they couldn't kill him immediately. With the police en route, they couldn't wait any longer.
Observing the situation, Xing Yuan changed into clothes suitable for killing, donned a black mask, and decided to take matters into her own hands.
If he didn't die, she would be in trouble!
At the same time, she issued an order: "Full assault!"
He had to die before the police found him.
Wang Yu Bei also sensed Xing Yuan's determination to kill him. With the resolve to take someone down with him if he died, he pulled out his phone to call the police.
However, Xing Yuan was prepared. A signal jammer had already been set up.
The combat capabilities of the two sides were not on the same level. Although one side often engaged in fights, and Wang Yu Bei had hired several retired mercenaries at a high price, they were still inferior to those who had grown up in battle with youthful vigor.
But the progress was slow. When Xing Yuan arrived, they had only just entered the doorway.
She had no intention of helping them. Instead, she decided to take the risk and break through the window. Despite the swift attacks from the surroundings, her years of experience were not for naught. She quickly charged through the hail of bullets, eliminated the people around, and then, forming a pincer movement with those outside, let them in.
He didn't know where he was hiding. More people would make him easier to find.
Wang Yu Bei had long suspected Xing Yuan was a hacker or had a skilled computer expert by her side. Thus, he had immediately shut off the building's power, hoping to buy himself more time.
As time ticked by, and the sounds of police maintaining order could faintly be heard from outside, Xing Yuan grew anxious.
The mask had been completely torn off. Even if he didn't know who she was or her name, she had heard that the police had profilers who could draw her likeness based on his description. This was something she absolutely could not allow.
"What? Are you just going to hide like this? If I had enough explosives today, I would have buried you alive right here.
Oh, and have you not been curious about your daughter? I went to see her. She's a very cute and sensible little girl, a pity you personally turned her into that monstrous state.
I don't think I've told you yet! I received news that she seems to have died. Tsk! You're a terrible father! You couldn't even see her one last time!"
Xing Yuan spoke as she walked, her words extremely provocative. Soon, a figure appeared.
He could tolerate anything else, but when he heard his child was dead, a surge of heat rushed to his head, and he walked out uncontrollably.
"Was it you?" Although it was a question, Wang Yu Bei's tone was full of certainty.
Xing Yuan slowly approached, feigning nonchalance. "There was nothing I could do. She begged me to. And besides, even if I hadn't killed her, with the rate her organs were failing, she wouldn't have lived for three months anyway. Might as well give her a quick end!
You must have been begged by that child too, right? But in the end, the person she couldn't let go of wasn't you, but her own mother. After all, you harmed her to that extent; it's already kind of her not to hate you."
Xing Yuan continued to provoke him while running. After a brief exchange, the heartbroken Wang Yu Bei, caught off guard, was stabbed in the chest with a dagger.
Xing Yuan twisted the dagger in her hand but couldn't evade Wang Yu Bei's dying counterattack in time. He lightly slashed her neck. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have met the same fate.
She coldly slashed Wang Yu Bei's neck with her eyes, leaving her mark.
"Don't move! Police."
Just as Xing Yuan was about to leave, a young voice called out from behind her.
Xing Yuan dropped the dagger, raised her hands, and turned around. She then saw a young man.
His relatively youthful face was filled with seriousness as he held his gun. Xing Yuan recognized him instantly: a rookie police officer who hadn't killed anyone yet.
