Zhao Youlin slowly walked over with her luggage. The empty building was so quiet that only the whistling of the wind and the sound of Zhao Youlin’s footsteps could be heard.

  “Wait!” Just when Zhao Youlin was about to reach Zhao Youming, Zhao Youming suddenly shouted in a low voice, causing Zhao Youlin to stop in her tracks.

  “What’s wrong?”


  “You…… put the money on the ground, right here.” Zhao Youming pointed to a spot about one meter in front of him. He didn’t intend to let Zhao Youlin get any closer. Obviously, he was still afraid of Zhao Youlin’s skills. He didn’t intend to let her get any closer.

  Zhao Youlin pursed her lips and followed Zhao Youming’s instructions. She bent down and put her luggage on the ground.

  The moment she bent down, Zhao Youming’s knife finally moved. It moved from Joy’s neck to Zhao Youlin and stabbed at her ruthlessly.

  Little did he know that Zhao Youlin had been waiting for this moment. The moment the knife in Zhao Youming’s hand left Joy’s neck and stabbed at her, Zhao Youlin quickly stood up from the ground and sidestepped, at the same time that she dodged the knife in Zhao Youming’s hand. She quickly and accurately grabbed Zhao Youming’s wrist and forcefully twisted it downwards.

  Zhao Youming never expected Zhao Youlin to react so quickly. Under the pain, the knife in his hand slipped out of his hand.

  Before he could react, Zhao Youlin’s hand had already reached out towards Joy in his arms.

  Bang…… two gunshots sounded at the same time. Zhao Youlin’s professional instincts over the years were not something that could be forgotten, even if her guard was down and she was out of practice.

  She quickly reacted and pushed the person she was holding away. She also used the reaction force to lean back a little. Two bullets from different directions shot out from the middle of the two people, one in front and one in the back, hitting the pillar not far away.

  One could imagine that if Zhao Youlin had not reacted in time, both of them would be in the paths of the bullets. Instead, the two corpses fell to the ground with a loud bang, dead without any reason!

  Zhao Youming was completely stunned by Zhao Youlin’s push. It was not easy for him to react. After realizing what had happened just now, Zhao Youming’s entire face turned extremely pale.

  “You actually shot! You actually shot! Didn’t I tell you to come alone? You actually brought someone else!” Zhao Youming suddenly became agitated, and he grabbed joy with even more strength.

  Joy was in so much pain that his eyes were filled with tears. However, he still remembered Zhao Youlin’s previous instructions and was more worried that Zhao Youlin would be distracted. Other than his initial cries of pain, he stubbornly bit his lips and did not make a sound.

  Zhao Youlin was afraid that he would hurt the child, so she kicked the knife on the ground far away. Now that she saw Zhao Youming’s expression, she furrowed her brows. Her heart ached for Joy, but at the same time, she hated Zhao Youming’s lunacy. She said coldly, “Zhao Youming, don’t just talk about me. Didn’t you also bring helpers? Those two shots weren’t all fired by my people.”


  Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen had actually arranged for snipers. This was something that even Zhao Youlin did not know about. However, since things had already come to this point, there was no need to investigate further. What she was more concerned about was the other person who had just fired.

  Although it had only been a split second, Zhao Youlin, who was extremely sensitive to firearms, still discovered that one of the two shots had not been fired from a long distance.

  There was another person hiding in this building. It was an accomplice of Zhao Youming’s side, an accomplice who also held a gun.

  Zhao Youming was stunned for a moment, and a guilty look appeared on his face.

  Zhao Youlin took in her expression, and her guess became more and more certain. She confirmed the direction in which that person had shot. She turned around and shouted at a concrete pillar behind her, “Since you’re already here, aren’t you going to come out and see me before you leave?”


  Mu Tingfeng, Han Yichen, and the others immediately rushed up when they heard the gunshot. They were not surprised to see Zhao Youming holding Joy, but Zhao Youlin’s words stunned them.

  There was another person hiding behind that pillar? An accomplice of Zhao Youming?

  “No matter how much time has passed, you’re still so annoying.” A pretty girl came out from behind the pillar, causing Mu Tingfeng to unconsciously frown. He felt that this voice was somewhat…… familiar.

  Without waiting for Mu Tingfeng to think, the person behind the pillar had already walked out and answered the questions that were lingering in his mind.

  The girl who walked out from behind the pillar was wearing a simple black casual outfit with a pair of tight black jeans underneath. The hood of the hoodie covered her head, but the moment she walked out from behind the pillar…… Mu Tingfeng recognized her at once.

  “Zhao Youxi?!”


  Han Yichen, who was beside Mu Tingfeng, frowned when he heard Mu Tingfeng’s shout. He had never seen Zhao Youxi before, but the grudges between Zhao Youxi and Zhao Youlin…… He knew of those no less than anyone else present.

  He didn’t expect that the mastermind behind the scenes would be her!

  “That’s right, it’s me. Long time no see. How have you guys been?” Zhao Youxi had a faint smile on her face. She looked as innocent and harmless as the girl next door, completely different from when she went abroad more than a year ago. However, it was this kind of her that made Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng feel a chill in their hearts. They instinctively felt that this person was much more dangerous than Zhao Youming, who was holding Joy.

  Zhao Youxi walked towards Zhao Youming as she swept her gaze across the people present. Finally, her gaze was fixed on Joy, she smiled again. “It seems that you guys are living very well. However, this is only natural. I’ve been living in so much pain for more than a year. What right do you have to be happier and happier than me?”


  When Zhao Youxi said this, she slightly raised the corner of her eyes, and there was a hint of evil that she had never felt before.

  Zhao Youlin slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at the pistol in Zhao Youxi’s hand. She was still a little surprised and asked, “Did you shoot that gun just now?”


  “Yes,” Zhao Youxi admitted generously and pointed the gun in her hand at Joy’s head, “I’ve been abroad for so long. If I hadn’t learned some self-defense skills, I would have died countless times. Sister, don’t you think so?”


  Zhao Youxi’s “Sister” gave Zhao Youlin an indescribable feeling. She had a feeling that this was the first time Zhao Youxi had called her that, and it would be the last time.

  Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng had already stepped forward the moment Zhao Youxi picked up the gun, shielding Zhao Youlin from both sides.
