When the tenth man fell, Jiu Ye was in despair. He knew that he would be the eleventh, and also the last.
But he wasn’t willing nor wanting to die.
Jiu Ye had experienced great ups and downs in his life, but he was able to survive till the present day. Not only did he survive, but with much effort, he finally achieved what most people called success in life. He had money, status, women… many things, and he didn't want to give up any of them.
Probably no one would want to, right?
Seeing the young man walking towards him step by step while holding a sharp sword, Jiu Ye was terrified.
He was just a bastard, not a supreme villain. But could he have calmly accepted death?
He couldn't do it!
"Young man, can’t you let me go?" Jiu Ye concentrated his weight on one foot, barely supported his slumping body, and begged miserably, "As long as you’re willing to let me go, all the properties under my name will belong to you. I don’t want any of it. I just ask you to let me leave Haishi. I promise I'll never come back and show up in front of you again, okay?
Jiu Ye’s wound bled more and more, and his strength to speak was slowly lessened as well, “There is no deep hatred between us. Even if I did wrong, wasn’t this all enough of a lesson?”
What Jiu Ye said wasn’t wrong. The conflict between them wasn’t actually a big deal, and they never thought of each other as rivals. The only reason for the trouble was because of their identities.
One was a gangster who didn’t want his reputation to be smeared, and the other was a man who could turn into a demon for his only big brother.
But what was the use of saying this now?
‘Step, step’ Liu Yanbo slowly walked towards Jiu Ye. When hearing Jiu Ye’s begging, his eyes were cold. There was no pity, ridicule, or indecisiveness.
At this moment, he was probably the most cold-blooded person in the world.
After all, his dark years left him too many things that he couldn't get rid of. Ignoring life was probably the worst bad habit among them!
‘Huhu~’ The room was quiet and depressing, and Jiu Ye finally couldn't stand it anymore. He sat on the ground with his back against the wall, panting, and looked at Liu Yanbo's cold gaze. He already knew the answer in his heart.
"Can you give me some time to smoke a cigarette?"Jiu Ye tremblingly took out a cigarette, regardless of whether Liu Yanbo agreed or not, he lit it up and took a deep breath.
‘Ha~’
The smoke shrouded his face. Jiu Ye was fascinated, the film of his entire life flashed before his eyes.
From a teenager with nothing, to the king who dominated Haishi’s underworld for more than ten years, the road was naturally tortuous. He had betrayed his friends, stepped on the blood of his brothers and abandoned his morals, but he had also given back to society.
He did feel some regret, but there were also things he was quite satisfied about. He remembered the sentence- ‘The good deeds will be rewarded. The evil deeds will be punished.’ and felt relieved.
Jiu Ye then raised his head and asked, "Can you tell me your true identity? Your identity three years ago."
Of course, Jiu Ye had also investigated Liu Yanbo, and the results he got were the same as others.
He wanted to know before he died.
Liu Yanbo nodded and leaned to Jiu Ye's ear, his mouth slightly opened twice.
His voice was low, almost inaudible, but Jiu Ye heard it. In an instant, his eyes widened and were filled with fear, just like the old man who had just died, it was fear that surpassed the fear of death.
"It turned out to be you!" Jiu Ye closed his eyes and miserably said, "I’m not ashamed to die in your hands, just do it!"
Having said that, Jiu Ye threw aside the pistol he had hidden in his hands and closed his eyes.
Fight back until death?
There was no point to do such meaningless things.
Jiu Ye's actions did not surprise Liu Yanbo, his expression remained cold as before. He directly swung his sword out.
‘stab!’ The sharp sword pierced through his heart, and the pain caused Jiu Ye to open his eyes again. He took a final look at the room covered with blood.
This was once his starting point, and now it was now his end.
Once he died, a new chapter would open in Haishi’s underworld.
Would it be another bloody battle?
Liu Yanbo didn't want to think about it. He just wanted to leave. The smell of blood in the room was so strong that he was a little uncomfortable.
...
It was already two o'clock in the morning, but Pan Yuyi hadn't slept at all, and was still working overtime at the police station.
The rain outside the window kept falling down, and the loud noise distracted her. Her already directionless thoughts became even more lost.
More than half a month had passed, and there was no news about the Undercurrent group and the members who had invaded Haishi, which made Pan Yuyi very annoyed.
If this violent captain with a sense of justice was unhappy, no one would be happy.
She was a ticking bomb ready to explode at any time, putting the entire police station in panic. Although her verbal abuse was somewhat light, she was much more terrifying when exhausted. At this time, no one dared to even smile.
‘Ding Ding Ding~’ The phone on her desk rang. Pan Yuyi checked the caller ID and saw that it was Zhou Ming. She hung up without hesitation.
‘Ding Ding Ding~’ The phone once more. It was Zhou Ming again. Pan Yuyi was very angry. When she answered this time, she was ready to yell fiercely…
‘Bam!~’ Before Pan Yuyi could scold him, the door to her office was violently pushed open. A police officer rushed in, he was the same unsensible police officer as last time.
The little police officer ignored Pan Yuyi's murderous eyes and anxiously said, "Captain, I just received a report, a murder occurred in the western suburbs."
Pan Yuyi glared at him and scolded, "The Western Suburbs are under Old Town Branch’s control. Why are you running to tell me?"
"But the call arrived to us!" The little police officer was very aggrieved, and secretly cursed the caller in his head. "Then should I call the Old Town Branch and tell them about this?"
Pan Yuyi subconsciously nodded, thought for a while, and then changed her mind, "Let's just take a look, I’ve been idle now anyways."
"Captain, we shouldn’t get involved with their business. Or the chief will curse at us tomorrow." The little police officer straightforwardly said.
"I didn't say you needed to come too." Pan Yuyi didn't stay further and just left.
Shouldn’t get involved? Not our business? In Captain Pan’s eyes, these things didn’t exist.
Whose fault was it that she had a bustling sense of justice? That her father was the leader of Haishi’s public security organs? And that it was an era of sons and daughters relying on their parents’ power more than their own?
The small police officer changed his face faster than you could flip a page in a book and, resembling a child, caught up to Ji Ruyan and proudly said: “Captain, who else could you take another than me? Except for the stand guards outside the police station, everyone else has been sent out to strengthen patrols. Only I and Xiao Zhao aren’t busy, you have no choice but to take me too.”
“...”
Pan Yuyi frowned but didn’t bother to scold him. He’s ignorant and can’t speak properly, he has no future…
The reporter of the crime gave a very detailed address. Pan Yuyi drove to the western suburbs with the small police officer, going straight to the destination.
As soon as they entered the door, a heavy stench of blood rushed to their noses. Seeing the corpses lying on the ground, their faces changed greatly.
‘Barf’ The young police officer who had graduated from the police academy not too long ago and had only been receiving reports by phone couldn’t help but vomit.
This was the scene of the murder. It looked like hell on earth, with blood flowing in the room like a river!
Pan Yuyi looked gloomy, and her expression became even worse when she saw the body by the wall.
Jiu Ye was dead. Which meant Haishi’s underworld was about to change.
