The man with long hair was beaten so bad that both his eyes had become bruised and swollen. Blood trailed down his nose and mouth as his body was slowly becoming numb.
He tries to look at Yue Ling, but it was something difficult to do as his mind was also in a chaotic mess.
Never did he think the well-known supermodel to be so ferocious.
No… Where did she get the knife from? How could they forget to check her for any weapons?
However, as his brain was trying to put the pieces together, he could feel the sharp blade of the knife press more against his neck then her words.
Her sudden words that shook him to core.
'I am here to collect your fate.'
That one line that can make even the devil himself shiver in fear.
"Y—"
Before he could utter a sound, he felt the knife swiftly slice across his neck. A sharp pain escalated throughout his entire body and blood ooze out of the now open wound.
His body tremble as he tries to catch his breath, but the more he did this, the more blood flow out of him.
Through his swollen eyes, he could see Yue Ling's blurry figure stand up and her bluish green eyes staring right back at him before he entered death's doors.
Yue Ling watched the man bled to his death then turn to look in the direction of the closet. Her hand holding the knife tightens and she takes a step over the man towards the door.
Reaching for the doorknob, she pulls the door open as the young woman's figure comes to her view again.
She sharply inhales a mouthful of air that shook her body.
Staring down at the lifeless body, the image of Ting's mother appears in her mind.
She was another step too late.
Slowly bending her knees, she squats down and place the knife on the floor. Lifting her hands, she removes her black wool coat and gently place it over the girl's naked body.
"I'm so sorry…"
She doesn't know who this girl is, but she felt guilt dawn on her. She thought that Chu Li Xiang would bid by his words and not touch the women like the information they were given.
Hoping that that little information would give them enough time to safely rescue the hostages.
However, the despicable man suddenly had a change of mind.
Gazing at the girl's empty half open eyes, Yue Ling could feel the sharp prickling pain inside her chest.
This girl is so young and had so much to see of the world. She must have had dreams of her own, yet, she is here.
Here in this hell hole of a place when she should be at home with her family.
Slowly lifting her right hand, she place her palm over the girl's eyes and close them.
"You're in a better place now…"
Taking another deep breath, she grabs the knife and stood up.
A murderous gleam of light flash in her eyes and she turns for the door leading out of the room.
Chu Li Xiang murdered her child and the innocent women he had kidnapped. She will make sure every person here pays the price of their corrupted doings.
Stopping in front of the door, she does leave the room, but knocks on it before taking a step to the side to hide her figure from view.
As time traveled back to the time Yue Ling was shown the girl's body in the closet, Lu Tian had just arrived near the back of the abandoned factory.
He tall dark figure hid behind a tall tree and he carefully scout the area for the enemy.
It hasn't reached evening, so there were still a few of Chu Li Xiang's men guarding the area. He can make out their weapons and identify them as AK-47s.
Compare to his pistols, the enemy has the upper hand, but he can careless.
He is always up for a challenge. So long as he can get his hands on that bastard, Chu Li Xiang.
Reaching for one of the guns attached to his holster, he also takes out a silence and connects it to the muzzle.
["Ready?"]
From the earpiece, Liu Shan's voice sounds as he was able to guess that the aloof man must have reach a close enough distance to the place.
"Mm."
Lu Tian calmly answers with another short answer. At the same time, his eyes moves like an eagle continuing to scout the place.
["Alright. Two men just turned the corner. Another one is now exiting the building."]
Hearing the assistant's words, Lu Tian was slightly dumbfounded. He could clearly see what Liu Shan is talking about.
However, shaking the feeling away, he carefully steps out from the tree and moves forward.
His steps were in big strides, but extremely quiet. So quiet that it looked like he was walking on clouds.
Swiftly approaching his target, the man had his back turned to the forest and was twice the size of Lu Tian.
Instead of sneaking up on the man, Lu Tian purposely steps on a twig as a menacing, yet seductive smirk curls on his lip.
The sudden sound of twig breaking caught the big man's attention. His brows slightly furrow, and he turns around to check out the source.
However, he was met with the sharp gaze of a ferocious tiger.
"L-Lu Tian…"
His body froze for a quick second, but he was quickly able to steady his composure. Grabbing the AK-47 strapped across his body, he positions the gun and shoots at the man.
*Pu!
Just as he was able to aim the gun up, Lu Tian fires a silent shot at the man's gun causing him to lose his grasp on the gun.
"B— ugh."
Before the big man could yell out to warn the others about Lu Tian's presence, a fist comes into his view and his body slams down on his back.
["Another enemy approaching."]
Liu Shan's voice comes through the earpiece again and Lu Tian does not waste another second.
He kicks the man in the face before sending another silent bullet to his head.
Grabbing one of the man's arm, he easily drags the body into the forest and his figure disappears from view.
