Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Amazing_1 Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Amazing_1 She was almost certain that this man before her was Jun, also known as Bei Yan.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t know what to make of this man’s current attitude. They were clearly two people who had never crossed paths before, in either their past or future lives. She was certain she did not know this man!
No amount of hard thinking could recall any instance of this man having appeared before. Since she had no impression of him, why did he appear before her in such a complex and contradictory image in this life?
Could something have happened without her knowledge?
Qiao Xiaren had no way of knowing.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiaren raised her hand and emotionlessly slapped the man in front of her. A numb pain came through her hand, but there was no change in her facial expression.
Caught off guard, the man’s head jerked to the side from the hard slap.
For a moment, they distanced themselves from each other.
“Are you injured?” Qiao Xiaren noticed his painful expression and lightly asked.
“Yes.” He raised his head, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his lips, “He shot me, didn’t pull any punches. The bullet went straight through, lodged in my bone marrow. You must be thrilled?”
Blood gushed out incessantly, yet the man continued to smirk, creating a shockingly ghastly scene.
“What’s the point of hiding in the dark, showing only a face that acts like it’s been harmed by me? Show your true face!” Qiao Xiaren stared at the man before her, taking a step backward. “If you’re unwilling to reveal your face, stop making your presence felt. A coward like you has no right to say these things in front of me. I have never feared being hated. If you dare, then come out in the open!”
Hate, can be answered with hate.
Love, yet fears that the heart once given, cannot be taken back.
She walked past him without any hesitation or lingering attachment. His eyes dimmed instantly. He seemed to want to reach out to hold onto her but his hand hovered in the air, failing to land.
Familiar pain engulfed him once again from the edges of his heart. The man painfully fell on his knees and without warning stabbed a knife into his own chest. He then ungracefully collapsed onto the ground.
While he was already heavily injured, he continued to torment himself. Thankfully he didn’t have much strength left; he wouldn’t die anytime soon.
Several people approached from the darkness, as if accustomed to the man’s actions, quickly lifted the man and took him away.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t look back. She walked downstairs, maintaining a calm facade. However, her frantic heartbeats earlier had betrayed a hint of her panic.
“Qiaoqiao, you scared me to death.”
Qiao Xiaren didn’t respond. It was evident that she had understood why Xiaotian had such a strong reaction earlier. His aura was darker than she had imagined.
Leaning on the railing, she stood up again.
“It’s okay, maybe it’s not as scary as you imagine.”
If he is a resentful spirit, then so is she, having crawled out of hell herself. Since the moment she was reborn, she had never feared anything.
“Captain Qiao, members of Dark Night are nearby. The Commander warns you it’s dangerous, leave quickly!” The two teams were not far from each other, almost all of Dark Night’s people were either dead or injured as they didn’t retreat on time.
No wonder, no wonder Jun suddenly appeared in this room.
Although she couldn’t comprehend everything that happened, Qiao Xiaren quickly dismissed those thoughts and focused on the battle at hand.
There were still enemies from Dark Night lurking around. The entire area was enveloped in gunpowder smoke as bullets whizzed by.
