Yang Wei understood my feelings; she also understood the complex emotions I had for Ye Huan. So, being the clever woman she was, she gently hugged me and whispered, "Alright, go upstairs and take a look. Cang Yu... is dead."
Ye Huan's office is in the casino on the tenth floor.
The casino was empty. As I walked past the empty gambling tables, I felt as if I had returned to that night from years ago.
On that very night, a naive young man stepped into a bizarre and wonderful world, a world of dazzling lights and intoxicating pleasures that he had never imagined before!
Now, the place is empty and has a gloomy atmosphere, but as I walk past the bar in the middle, I seem to see the elegant Cang Yu, wearing high-heeled strappy shoes, smiling at me.
It's as if she's still smiling at me: "What kind of girl do you like to be with?"
And me? What did I say? Oh...right, I said, "You've got it wrong, I'm not rich."
Past events are but fleeting clouds!
Cang Yu's body was found in Ye Huan's office; she was sitting in Ye Huan's chair. Her eyes were bulging out, and her once beautiful face was now deathly pale.
“We found the first-aid kit here. She said she wanted to be alone for a while,” Yang Wei said in a low voice. “But after a while, our people opened the door and found her dead.”
Cang Yu died peacefully... or rather, I guess she died peacefully.
She plunged a syringe into her neck... I don't know what drug was in the syringe. But one thing is certain: it was a deadly poison.
I can even picture it in my mind: Cang Yu sitting alone in Ye Huan's office. She calmly walks to the desk, sits in Ye Huan's chair, and even affectionately strokes the armrest. Then… she opens the first-aid kit, takes out a syringe, draws out the poison, and plunges it into her own body…
I think... Cang Yu understands Ye Huan. She loved Ye Huan so deeply, she must know his character. Although she didn't go with me to see Ye Huan at the time, she must have guessed that Ye Huan would die after seeing me.
so……
Cangyu also died.
Looking at the woman's corpse, I suddenly didn't want to stay in this room for even a second longer! I practically turned and ran out of the room in a panic, even stumbling and nearly falling!
As I walked past the bar in the casino, I vaguely saw an elegant and beautiful woman smiling at me...
What kind of girl do you like to be with?
"My name is Cang Yu, but everyone here calls me Sister Yu..."
"Huan said before he left, 'If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me.'"
"I am a courtesan, a dancer, a mistress, a toy, and a prostitute! That's who I am!!"
"You know what? I've slept with at least a dozen men right here on this sofa!"
...
That elegant and beautiful face. And another face, twisted with sorrow... These two faces flashed back and forth in my mind, and I shook my head vigorously.
I suddenly turned around, strode towards the bar in the middle, and then kicked it hard!
Bang!!
I frantically grabbed a bar stool and slammed it down on the bar counter! Like a mad tiger, I punched and kicked, relentlessly smashing the counter! Panting, I suddenly turned to my men and yelled, "Come on! Smash that bar counter! Smash it! Make it disappear from my sight!! I don't want to see it!!!"
Yang Wei hugged me from behind, whispering, "Chen Yang... Chen Yang..."
Bang!
I threw the bar stool I was carrying on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and then shook my head: "I...I'm not feeling well."
Yang Wei didn't say anything; she just quietly held me.
"Weiwei...Weiwei..." I suddenly felt an urge to confide in someone: "Weiwei...I don't know what's wrong. Today I succeeded...Ye Huan is dead. I got my revenge! All the unfair treatment I suffered, the betrayal I endured...I got back everything I had! But...but why, right now, am I not happy at all, not joyful at all! I..."
Yang Wei sighed softly: "Xiao Wu... you should understand that this is an inevitable ending!"
My body stiffened, and after catching my breath for a moment, I calmed down: "Duoduo...where's Duoduo? Have you found Duoduo?"
“Found it, and Jinhe is with it too, they’re all together,” Yang Wei quickly replied.
"Take me there! Now! Quickly!"
Before pushing open the door to this room, I felt a little worried and nervous. Just now, in Ye Huan's office, I walked in and saw Cang Yu's body... that scene really left a shadow in my heart!
I'm worried that if I push open this door, I might also see a few corpses.
Fortunately, when I opened the door, I saw a bed.
A hospital bed.
Duoduo was sitting in front of the bed, and there was another person beside her, with one arm in a sling across his chest—it was Luo Lie!
Lying on the bed is Jinhe!
His face remained cold and resolute, but his complexion was sallow. Jinhe was awake, his eyes open, staring silently at the ceiling.
As I took two steps closer, I finally realized something was wrong!
Beneath the thin white blanket, judging from the outline of Jinhe's body beneath... he...
Jinhe's leg. It's gone.
"Ye Huan was assassinated by the Qinghong people before, and several of their best men died. Jin He... was injured and lost a leg." Yang Wei whispered in my ear, then glanced at Luo Lie... It seems that Luo Lie was also injured because of this.
So that's why Jin He didn't show up at all during tonight's fierce battle. This deprived Ye Huan's men of a major fighting force.
"Chen Yang!"
Jinhe, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke. His gaze remained fixed on the ceiling; he didn't look at me.
"I'm here."
Jin He's expression was cold: "Have you finished your business?"
"...It's done."
Jinhe lay on the bed, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times. I saw a tear slide down his cheek, but his voice remained cold and hard: "Once you're done, you can leave."
I nodded.
At this moment, between me and Jinhe on the bed, it seemed there was no need for further words; we both seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.
“Send someone to take him away…to the charity hall in Shanghai, and find a doctor to take care of him,” I said to Yang Wei.
Soon, some of my men came in and moved Jinhe off the bed. Jinhe didn't struggle or speak. He just quietly let my men lift him up.
But as he passed by me, Jinhe, lying on the bed, whispered, "Duoduo, take good care of her."
When only Duoduo, Luo Lie, and I were left in the room, a suffocating silence descended!
Duoduo sat there, silent, only shedding tears. Luo Lie had already silently walked up to me.
"I want to take Duoduo with me!"
I ignored him.
"I'm taking Duoduo with me!" Luo Lie's eyes flashed with the aura of a wild beast.
He tried to pull Duoduo, but Duoduo didn't move.
"Let her go." I sighed.
"Chen Yang! I want to take Ni Duoduo away..."
Snap!
I answered him with a slap!
Luo Lie was knocked to the ground by me, but he suddenly jumped up, roaring as he lunged at me. I kicked him down, looked at him coldly, and asked him, "Are you worthy?"
Luo Lie's eyes widened, veins throbbing on his forehead, as he stared intently at me and roared, "I'm not worthy? What makes you think I'm not worthy! Do you think you are worthy?! If you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I'll definitely take her away!"
Snap!
As always, the response was a slap in the face.
I withdrew my hand, still looking at him coldly, and asked those three words again: "Are you worthy?"
Luo Lie's mouth was bleeding from the beating I gave him, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you're worthy?"
"Yes, I'm worthy! But you're not!" My answer was calm. Looking at this kid, I sneered, "Luo Lie, I remember asking you... is it worth it? It seems you haven't even thought about that question!"
Luo Lie was breathing heavily and didn't speak.
“Listen up, kid! Courage is a valuable quality, but recklessness is foolishness! You think you're brave now? What a joke! You think I can kill you? Even more of a joke! Why can't I kill you? There are already too many dead people here tonight! One more won't make a difference! What are you? Your life is no more valuable than anyone else's! No more precious than anyone else's! If I kill you, I can just open my mouth and you'll be gone from this world forever! Is that courage? That's foolishness!” I didn't hold back in provoking this guy: “You're like me? No, you're not at all! Because besides showing your so-called 'courage' in a brainless way, you don't have my patience! Besides fighting desperately, what else can you do? Let me tell you, you only have one life! And you can only fight once! After that, you'll have nothing!”
Luo Lie lay on the ground, looking at me with a deathly pale face.
My tone grew even colder: "Listen to me! You can't take Duoduo away! Because you're not worthy! Do you know what 'not worthy' means? It means: you can't protect her! You can't take care of her! What are you? You're nothing now. You have no money, no power, and besides your lousy kung fu, what do you have? Even if I let you leave here today, once you're out the door, you'll just be a penniless hoodlum! What makes you think you can take Duoduo away? What makes you think you can protect her? Take care of her?"
Luo Lie was speechless.
I looked at him and sneered, "I don't deserve it! I dare say it! Ye Huan is dead! He's dead! But his enemies are still alive! The Green Gang is still alive! If the Green Gang finds out that Ye Huan's daughter is alive... do you think you, a small-time thug, can protect her? Is that what you call bravery? Wrong! You're just brainless! You're arrogant! You're overestimating yourself!!"
I turned around, pointed to the door, and said coldly, "I'm giving you a choice now. Walk out this door, and then this will have nothing to do with you! Go back to being a petty thug, live your life as you please! Think about how you're going to survive! Otherwise..." I sneered, "If you want revenge for Ye Huan, fine, I'll give you a gun, and then let's see if you can kill me? Then, I guarantee, you'll die here!"
Luo Lie's expression changed drastically, the muscles in his cheeks twitching wildly...
I sneered, gave him a disdainful look, and then walked past him, ignoring him completely.
I walked over to Duoduo and gently patted her shoulder: "Duoduo, your father is dead."
Ni Duoduo looked up at me, her eyes cold: "You...killed him?"
“No.” I shook my head. “He killed himself. But… you could also say I killed him, it makes no difference.”
"You killed him!" Ni Duoduo suddenly stood up, a knife clutched in her hand, and stabbed it viciously into my chest.
I reached out and grabbed her wrist, then with a flick of my wrist, the knife fell to the ground. Ni Duoduo struggled, so I simply punched her unconscious, then picked her up and turned to walk towards the door.
Behind me, Luo Lie suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed the knife on the ground, and stabbed it fiercely into my back!
Unfortunately, I turned around and kicked him over. The guy lay on the ground with a twisted and resentful expression on his face.
I sighed. "I gave you a chance. Enough people have died tonight, and I didn't want to kill you. But... I've told you before, you're not brave at all, you're just stupid and crazy."
I pulled the pistol out of my pocket...
Bang!
A gunshot rang out from the room.
News of Ye Huan's death spread.
After the death of Qinghong's greatest enemy, people from both the Heaven and Earth factions quickly began contacting me. Their calculations were shrewd; they were all observing... because at this point, the Human faction would undoubtedly be the first to act!
The big boss with the "Ren" radical in his name has a deep grudge against me, and he would never sit idly by and watch me take over Ye Huan's territory.
