CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 392

Fu Youhan was still leading his men, closely pursuing the car that took away Wen You.

And Fu Youhan didn’t know that Wen You, in that car, wasn’t in the danger they imagined at all.

She even enjoyed some champagne opened for her by Orion’s people.

The driver, Yang Shan, asked, "The car behind us is biting too closely. Are the replacement vehicles ready?"

Wen You swirled her champagne glass, looking through the rearview mirror, and saw the car driven by Fu Youhan catching up from behind.

Yang Shan couldn’t help teasing, "To make Third Master Fu abandon his ongoing wedding and race along the city’s main road in pursuit, Wen You, you must be quite the charmer!"

"Heh..." Wen You chuckled lightly.

But that chuckle hid her disdain, as well as a sourness and sadness that others would find hard to notice.

Fu Youhan had left Dead Ghost alone at the wedding for her; Wen You was not unmoved.

On the contrary, she longed to monopolize the man’s rarely seen tenderness.

If Fu Youhan was willing, she, Wen You, would readily retire her ways for him and be his dutiful wife and loving mother without any regrets.

But Wen You knew that Fu Youhan would never bring her home in this lifetime.

If it weren’t for her impersonating Dead Ghost and claiming the life-saving favor owed to Fu Youhan from back then, he wouldn’t have given her a second glance.

Moreover, all feelings Fu Youhan has for her, including ignoring his ongoing wedding, were just to repay that life debt.

But what Wen You wanted was never gratitude.

So, she planned to take care of Dead Ghost herself, ensuring Dead Ghost could never affect Fu Youhan again.

She wondered what kind of expression Fu Youhan would have when he found out that he had abandoned the real Dead Ghost, whom he wanted to repay, left her life hanging by a thread, and rushed to save the archenemy of Dead Ghost.

While Wen You was thinking about all this, the Orion assassin beside her, Rain End, initiated a toast.

"To a triumphant victory!"

"Definitely! Today’s Dead Ghost has no escape!"

Wen You lifted her red lips and drained the glass in one gulp.

After finishing their drinks, the car suddenly turned into a side road, heading towards the current location of Dead Ghost.

And as their car entered the side road, a large truck blocked Fu Youhan and his men’s way.

Then a car exactly like the one Wen You was in before, even with the same license plate number, conveniently entered the main road they’d just left.

When the large truck moved away, only the same replica of the car was left in Fu Youhan and his men’s sight, and they immediately gave chase...

When Jiang Moxi parted ways with Si Lin, she sensed a car following her.

She knew she had been exposed.

However, they should have no other means besides tracking her.

So, Jiang Moxi turned into a commercial street near the Ferry, steering the car into a narrow alley.

As soon as she stopped the car, Jiang Moxi leapt out.

The following car, seeing her car stop around here, quickly had two men get out to check.

"Damn it, she must be around here."

"You search over there, I’ll go this way!"

Just as the two men started to split up to look for Jiang Moxi, she, hidden in a corner, fed them each a bullet.

By the time two Blood Plum Blossoms bloomed on their foreheads, neither had any clue what had just happened!

And Jiang Moxi efficiently pillaged the useful items from the two men before blending into the bustling crowd of the commercial street.

Si Lin arrived at the commercial street and saw the dead bodies next to the cars.

His heart sank, and he quickly merged into the crowd as well.

After weaving through the crowd for a moment, Jiang Moxi noticed some familiar faces not far away and quickly pretended to be a passerby buying snacks.

Once those people left, Jiang Moxi quickened her pace towards the ferry.

Soon, Jiang Moxi arrived at the ferry, and the Xiya was within sight.

Jiang Moxi once thought she had escaped danger until the sound of gunfire rang out.

"Dead Ghost, did you really think you could leave Yan City alive today?"

Jiang Moxi turned around and was visibly startled when she saw the burly man with a black cloth tied over his right eye.

"Bai Ju, so it’s you."

Jiang Moxi showed no hint of panic, standing alone in the distance.

The cold wind at the ferry whipped up, making her long hair dance at her waist. She appeared agile and innocent, exuding an elegance and brightness beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s face, Bai Ju’s heart shuddered violently.

"She’s indeed beautiful! No wonder my younger brother Qingqiu took a liking to you!"

Yes, Bai Ju’s younger brother Qingqiu had once boldly confessed to Dead Ghost in the den of Xuanming!

But at the mention of Qingqiu, all Jiang Moxi had in her eyes was deep disgust: "Don’t mention that trash in front of me."

Bai Ju flew into a rage: "Dead Ghost, don’t go too far! When Qingqiu confessed to you, you could’ve simply rejected him if you didn’t like him. Why did you have to cruelly kill him?"

"He ambushed me several times on the road and even stole our Xuanming’s confidential information. That wasn’t affection, it was using the pretext of affection to try and put my companions and me to death! I was just killing in self-defense!"

Jiang Moxi faced the rustling cold wind, her eyes forming shattered shadows, clear and cold.

"You’re talking nonsense! My younger brother would never do such things, he..."

Bai Ju was emotionally charged, but Jiang Moxi didn’t give him the chance to ramble on and cut him off.

"It’s because you’re blind and can’t see that he had long harbored thoughts of seizing Xuanming’s resources and replacing you to control Orion. That’s why when I killed him, I took your eye as a bonus since you weren’t using it anyway!"

Bai Ju didn’t believe the facts Jiang Moxi laid out, especially as the pain of losing his eye was dredged up again, which made him even more furious and out of control.

He angrily tore off the black cloth on his right eye, revealing the eye that had been stitched multiple times and could no longer see.

"Brothers, no need for talk, take her down!"

Amidst the gunfire, Jiang Moxi quickly darted behind a car, avoiding the first wave of bullets.

As things calmed down a bit, she peeked out and fired six shots, with six people falling in response, each blossoming with Blood Plum Blossoms on their heads.

After a few exchanges, corpses and fresh blood littered the area near the ferry.

But half an hour later, even Jiang Moxi’s great stamina couldn’t withstand such a relentless battle.

Moreover, her leg had been hit by a bullet, and the excessive blood loss began to cause dizziness.

And as Bai Ju continued to chase after her with his men, Jiang Moxi found it very difficult and thus activated the signal flare Si Lin had given her earlier.

After all, the mercenaries on the Xiya nearby the ferry should be able to see it too.

When Si Lin reached the vicinity of the ferry, he saw the signal flare sent by Jiang Moxi and immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

Si Lin knew Jiang Moxi’s personality; if things were not extremely perilous, she certainly wouldn’t call for help from others.

He guessed that Jiang Moxi was in mortal danger at this moment.

Therefore, Si Lin couldn’t care about his own safety and hurried towards the location of the signal flare...
