"Where I'm going is none of your business. Move aside, don't block my way!"
Du Wenwen's tone conveyed a hint of impatience.
"Oh, is that so?" Yun Xiaoxiao twirled her right pinky finger in a small circle in front of her chest.
Instantly, a layer of ice mist rose up.
Du Wenwen's pupils trembled.
Dead memories resurfaced once again.
She quietly swallowed.
"Hmph."
Finally, she let out a defiant cold snort and stood to the side, not daring to move anymore.
Although Lu Chen and the others didn't know exactly what Yun Xiaoxiao was up to, they knew she was in the mood to teach someone a lesson. So they just stood quietly to the side, watching calmly. They had an attitude of "Go ahead and make trouble, we've got your back if things get out of hand."
Meanwhile, Zhao Rongyan brought Jiang Rui'an to a rest area inside the gym.
He said many sweet words to coax her.
For instance, he promised to find the best plastic surgeons and people with Healing Ability to treat her and restore her original appearance.
He claimed the one he had always loved was her, and that before he had just lost his head in anger, but would never do it again in the future.
He vowed he would definitely kill Du Wenwen.
And so on...
To be honest, hearing Zhao Rongyan speak these words so tenderly, Jiang Rui'an really wanted to have a change of heart.
But the pain on her face constantly reminded her:
This was all an illusion!
Zhao Rongyan's sudden kindness to her was nothing more than an attempt to recruit Yun Xiaoxiao and the others for his own use.
But Yun Xiaoxiao and her group would never submit to him, and even wanted to kill him.
In other words, the premise for Zhao Rongyan being good to her was just a beautiful bubble that would burst with the slightest prick.
She couldn't hold onto it for long.
Once she was truly bewitched by Zhao Rongyan and failed to complete the task Yun Xiaoxiao had assigned her, her fate afterward would likely be even worse than before.
Having figured it all out, Jiang Rui'an no longer indulged in Zhao Rongyan's sweet talk.
She secretly pondered how to make her move...
"Mm, I know you love me the most. I've always known," Jiang Rui'an said with reddened eyes, gently hugging Zhao Rongyan.
Zhao Rongyan also embraced her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely love you even more in the future."
The words coming out of his mouth seemed as if they were sweetened with honey.
If one could ignore the disgust and disdain in his eyes, he truly seemed like a man who was extremely gentle to his girlfriend.
"Mm-hmm, I believe you, Yan-ge, so..."
Jiang Rui'an took out the small knife Yun Xiaoxiao had given her, swiftly drew it out, and viciously stabbed it towards Zhao Rongyan's abdomen.
"You can just die!"
She laughed maniacally, a flash of vengeful satisfaction in her eyes.
She yanked the knife out again.
Instantly, blood gushed forth!
Watching the crimson blood flow from Zhao Rongyan's abdomen, along with his disbelieving and furious gaze, she finally vented the resentment in her heart.
At this moment, it felt so good!
But just as she was feeling triumphant for a few seconds, her own abdomen felt as if someone had forcibly torn open a gash, continuously spurting blood.
She felt her life force rapidly draining away.
She stared wide-eyed in shock.
What was happening?
Why did it feel like she had been stabbed too?!
"You bitch, you actually dared to kill me!"
Enduring the excruciating pain, Zhao Rongyan grabbed a fistful of Jiang Rui'an's hair and dragged her to the window.
"Bet you didn't expect this - my supernatural ability is rebound. If I die, you won't live either!"
Apart from his father and the person from the base who had gone to assassinate him earlier, no one else knew about this ability. Others only knew he had awakened a supernatural ability, but didn't know what it was.
Hearing Zhao Rongyan's words, Jiang Rui'an's heart violently trembled.
How could this be?
Why did it turn out like this?!
If she had known earlier, no matter how much she hated Zhao Rongyan, she wouldn't have risked her own life!
Yun Xiaoxiao?
Yes, it must be her!
She must have known all along that Zhao Rongyan had this ability, which is why she told her to kill him!
She wanted to kill both of them!
Jiang Rui'an's eyes flickered with shock, her heart filling with anger and urgency.
She wanted to explain, but Zhao Rongyan didn't give her the chance.
At this moment, he was blinded by rage.
"You want to kill me? I'll kill you first!"
Zhao Rongyan violently lifted Jiang Rui'an and pushed her out the window without hesitation.
"No! It's not..."
Her voice scattered in the wind.
"Bang!"
A heavy object hit the ground, bones shattering and flesh splattering.
Zhao Rongyan instantly lost all his strength and slid to the floor.
Due to overexertion and intense emotions, the blood from his abdomen flowed even more fiercely.
His gaze began to blur.
"Yan-ge! What happened to you?!"
Du Wenwen was the first to rush in.
The others followed closely behind.
Earlier, they had heard the sounds of an argument coming from inside.
They knew something must have happened.
Yun Xiaoxiao had naturally heard it too, so she stopped blocking their way.
"Was it that bitch Jiang Rui'an who hurt you? Where is she? I'll tear her to pieces!"
Du Wenwen was filled with righteous indignation.
"She's dead," Zhao Rongyan exhaled, pointing towards the window.
Only then did everyone look down and see a mangled corpse.
So that's what that loud noise was earlier!
Everyone instantly understood what the sound they had heard was about.
Lu Chen and the others glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao.
They had expected to see her looking sad and upset, but instead, they only saw a hint of calmness.
They didn't like Jiang Rui'an to begin with, so whether she lived or died naturally didn't cause much of a stir for them.
They just found it somewhat surprising.
When the two left earlier, everything seemed fine. How did they suddenly get into a conflict that turned into a life-or-death situation?
Remembering how Yun Xiaoxiao had whispered many things into Jiang Rui'an's ear earlier, plus her sudden change in attitude towards Jiang Rui'an...
The group seemed to guess something.
But of course, they chose to cover for her.
"Let's go," Yun Xiaoxiao turned and walked towards the exit.
With Jiang Rui'an dead and Zhao Rongyan bleeding profusely without medical treatment, his death was inevitable. Staying would only be a waste of time.
It would be better to go kill a few more zombies and complete the mission faster.
Lu Chen and the others exchanged glances, then followed her.
No one noticed their departure.
Because those people were now only concerned about Zhao Rongyan's injuries.
If the base leader's son died on a mission with them while they survived unscathed, would they have a good time when they returned?
"That bitch Jiang Rui'an, how dare she hurt you!"
Du Wenwen frowned, quickly taking off her jacket to staunch Zhao Rongyan's wound.
"Yan-ge, you're so seriously injured. There are no doctors or medicines here. If we delay, I'm afraid it will only get worse. We should hurry back to the base."
"Yes, the zombies blocking the way outside have all been killed by those people anyway. If we leave now, it should be safe."
Zhao Rongyan weakly nodded, "Alright."
So, everyone immediately started packing up, preparing to leave.
But when they drove to the exit, they found an ice wall blocking their way.
