I dragged the beaten and out of breath Chen Yu Zhou up and pressed his head next to the acid pool, at this point I was like a wild animal, the rage roaring inside me, wanting to throw him down to relieve my anger.
Chen Yuzhou squeezed my wrists with both hands, his arrogance just now all gone, and begged for mercy, “Zhang Chao, don’t ……”
This time he only said a few words not because he was particularly spirited, but because his throat was tightly squeezed by me and he could not say more words.
“Don’t, kill me ……”
My temples were red, I had killed many people on the battlefield, but out of uniform I hadn’t killed any of them. I really don’t feel good about not killing Chen Yuzhou, he threatened me with the most important person in my life, but if I kill him, do I still deserve to call myself a soldier?
Chen Yuzhou twitched, tears and snot dripping down his face.
I gritted my teeth and struggled internally, wanting Chen Yuzhou to be cut into pieces.
“If there’s another time, I’d rather the old man stop recognising me as a snow leopard and kill you. Don’t you force me to have blood on my hands.”
At the last crucial moment, I let go of him, and Chen Yuzhou’s whole body went limp, falling to the ground crying and gasping for air.
I picked up the remote control and set Chu Xiao Xiao down.
Chu Xiaoxiao had been hanging for too long, and as soon as he was released, his legs went limp and he flung himself into my arms.
I helped her untie the rope and remove the cloth from her mouth. Her face was covered with tear marks and her eyes were swollen from crying.
“Are you okay, did Chen Yu Zhou do anything to you?” I asked anxiously, if Chen Yu Zhou had touched Chu Xiao Xiao, I would turn my head and chop him up right now.
Chu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and shook her head for a moment before suddenly slapping me twice.
I was dumbfounded, what did this mean? Although the two slaps did not hurt, but the hit made me panic, afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao in Chen Yu Zhou suffered some kind of aggression.
She grabbed me by the collar and shouted at me with her silver teeth: “You b*****d, you’re still alive! Why did you lie to me when you were alive, woo woo ……”
It looks like Chu Xiaoxia doesn’t know that Ji Ruan is me yet, so I can’t let her know about this, because if she does, she’ll probably cut me into pieces. I hugged Chu Xiaoxia and quietly spat out my tongue.
“There, there, it’s okay.” I stroked Chu Xiaoxiao’s long hair and said comfortingly, “Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now.”
Chu Xiaoxiao sniffled, “Am I ugly for crying like this?”
I let out a long sigh and said seriously, “No, you’ve always been so pretty.”
I shot a wink at Chu Xiaoxiao, signalling to her that Chen Yu Zhou was still lying there, so I couldn’t just leave it alone.
I had a personal vendetta against Chen Yuzhou, and it was fine if he came at me, but if he came at the woman I loved, it would be too much to defend against.
I asked, “Hasn’t Chun Tang always protected you?”
Chu Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t know, not long after your accident, Chun Tang disappeared from the location as well.”
“Damn, must have thought there was no one to pay his salary now that I was gone.” I mentally blamed myself for being too careless, I must find a reliable bodyguard for Chu Xiaoxiao in the future.
By this time, Chen Yu Zhou had just regained some strength and was able to slowly climb up holding onto the wall.
“Chen Yuzhou, I’ll spare your life today, and we’ll write off what happened between us.”
I hope this kid will understand some sense and not pester me every day, I really don’t have that much time to fight with him.
“Zhang Chao, you’re really cunning.”
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu Zhou laughed lowly like a monster, making my bones creep out.
My ears twitched subconsciously and I grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao’s hand, shielding her behind me.
“What’s wrong?”
“Someone’s coming.” I said.
As soon as my words left my mouth, I felt a harsh, murderous aura rush down from overhead.
I jerked Chu Xiaoxiao backwards, only to see a black figure jumping down from the towering roof beams, rolling on the ground, before rushing towards me.
“Look out!”
This figure in black was holding a military spike-like dagger with three blood-letting slots, which let out a cold light in the moonlight coming down from the roof skylight.
I pulled Chu Xiaoxiao down with a jerk, the dagger brushed against my hair, fortunately I was a slattern, otherwise this would have made me bald.
The man in black subconsciously took a stance, while the dagger came over again. I saw that he had fallen for it and grabbed his right hand with my left and his left with my right.
The man in black was definitely Chinese, dressed very much like an a*sa*sin in a costume drama, with his eyebrows counted backwards as if he had two swords and a murderous look in his eyes.
This was not the Southeast Asian a*sa*sin that Chen Yu Zhou had hired from outside the country. I had a very bad feeling in my heart that this man was much stronger than the previous a*sa*sins.
I growled low: “Master your name.”
“Yin.”
Having said the word, he jerked so hard that I missed my grip for a moment and backed up, releasing my hand.
This man was a Yoon!
We were five or six metres apart, he didn’t dare to attack, and neither did I.
A single move might be the difference between victory and defeat, and we were both a*sessing each other’s strength before we struck.
I sneered: “Chen Yu Zhou, you finally know who your ancestor is. What, you’ve found a backbone and now you’re hardened?”
It wasn’t difficult for me to escape by myself, what was difficult was to bring Chu Xiaoxiao with me.
While pretending to talk, I thought about how I could use the terrain to escape.
“It’s thanks to you making a fool of yourself that the Yin family has found me. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known our family had such powerful cousins. My dad left so suddenly that he didn’t have time to tell me anything. If I had been told earlier, I would have been able to send you to your death sooner.” Chen Yu Zhou rubbed his neck and laughed grimly.
The man in black said very little, perhaps it was a habit of a*sa*sins that people were ruthless and did not talk much.
I reckoned that Chen Yuzhou had initially wanted to kill me himself, and if he had succeeded, the Yin family would not have had to step in, and now that he had failed, Chen Yuzhou had let his trump card out.
I sneered, “You think one person can stop me?”
Chen Yu Zhou said, “Who said there was only one person?”
As soon as he said that, three more men in black jumped down from the left, right and three directions behind me, surrounding me in the middle, all three of them were similarly dressed to the first man in black, with similar murderous auras.
